TGVGD The Great Video Game Draft (n64 Draft)

[Ants!]

And back to @The Flame

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Mario Golf

@Ants!

Funny story, I had Toadstool Tour for the Gamecube back in the day. Then I had people enter my apartment to do... something. That disc disappeared that day. I held onto the box and manual for a long while before that either disappeared or I tossed it.

 

[The Flame]

Not sure if this will be a popular option because I didn't even own it or know anyone who did own the N64 port, but the song lives in my head rent free from the arcades.

[Smacktard]

Yall thought I was done, huh? Nope! Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness!

Your forum based version is the only time I've ever enjoyed playing Mario Party

 

[VashTheStampede]

Mario Steeplechase

 

[The Flame]

I've never been so offended and complimented at the same time

Noob.

 

[Ants!]

Wait you played Legacy of Darkness but not Castlevania 64?

 

[Smacktard]

Wait you played Legacy of Darkness but not Castlevania 64?

No but I want to play them. Does that count for anything?

I was just thinking of this song the other day thanks to this draft. I was at a friend's birthday sleepover in like 7th grade, and this was one of the games we played a lot that night. I hadn't thought of that game in years until that song randomly popped into my head a few years ago. I looked it up on youtube and was instantly transported back to that night.

 

[Ants!]

For a moment I forgot how this game was played. I've just been picking my favorite games, but I forgot that some of us pick lists we'd think others would vote for or try to pick hidden gems.

And yes I'd say it would count for a lot

 

[Fire Queen]

mystical ninja starring goemon

@Fool's Requiem

 

[Quagmire]

Ogre Battle 64 - Person of Lordly Caliber

@The Flame

Game needs a remake badly! Played it for a bit, liked what I played, but it plays so slow and the controls/UI is so cumbersome! Sadly will probably never get a remake

All of my picks have been picked, so what else am I supposed to do? Now I'm picking games that I WANT to play, but haven't yet.

@Fool's Requiem

Like this one

 

[Fool's Requiem]

San Francisco Rush 2049

Dreamcast version is better, but I got all my real play time done on the N64.

 

[dimmerwit]

mystical ninja starring goemon

Another banger of a soundtrack here.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

@Banana your turn

 

[Banana]

im a bit surprised its not gone so ill take it.

Excitebike 64

next is @Cole

 

[Smacktard]

Not even close, hell I argue Saturn has a better overall catalogue than the N64 and I'll die on that hill (though nothing quite like Mario 64)

Saturn draft when

 

[VashTheStampede]

I was planning on PS2 next because I didn't think there'd be enough interest for a Saturn draft but I can be swayed...

 

[Fool's Requiem]

dibs on Sonic R and Sonic Fighters.

I think you can get me, Quagmire, FR, and Crystal to participate at least. But do PS2 first so I can play more Saturn games before the competition

 

[Cole]

Turok Dinosaur Hunter

 

[Ants!]

Ps2 doesn't have any good games though.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

@Tommy Boy

 

[Rachel]

MarioTheStampede 64

is Knives Luigi

 

[Benzine]

the poor poor game boy (advanced)

 

[Quagmire]

the poor poor game boy (advanced)

What would be interesting about that console, are ports draftable?

 

[Benzine]

gameboy and gba have more games than n64 by like triple (or more) each, and yes

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Turok Dinosaur Hunter

Was waiting for this one. Another game I just killed so much time in

 

[Bandicoot]

mystical ninja starring goemon

@Fool's Requiem

The hell? This was one of the obscure ones in my collection that I was gonna go for later.

Soooo…. Someone was like “silly me, I forgot how the game works”.
I never knew. How does this thing wrap up? What are we scored on? Probably should’ve asked that earlier, tbf.

We'll have a separate thread and everyone (on the site, not just the draft participants) will vote on who has their favorite list of games.

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Tommy Boy still on the clock

 

[Ants!]

My brain read that at first without the L. I guess it's always in the gutter.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Peggle 64

 

[Tommy Boy]

Sorry I was MIA.

Resident Evil: 2

I didn't get to play this on PlayStation, but my sitter left his copy of RE2 64 at our house by accident. This was the first scary game I ever played, so rightfully I will name the N64 version as I didn't have to deal with the loading times, and it was a pretty good port.

 

[Tommy Boy]

@Bandicoot you're up

 

[Bandicoot]

Ha. Resi 2 is on my shortlist. Might’ve been this round.

Let’s get some multiplayer action going on on my list. Can’t go wrong with some worms.

Worms Armageddon.

@Smacktard time!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Can’t go wrong with some worms.

Not a pet owner?

 

[Ants!]

Worms Armageddon was great

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Interesting video if you ever wondered how on earth they squeezed a game that required 2 discs on the Dreamcast onto an N64 cart and manage to make it not suck:

How tf did I forget this existed? Nice pick.

I was going to pick Resident Evil 3 because I have VIVID memories playing it on my N64... but apparently it never released there. Which is weird because I definitely played it, and the only other console we had was a Dreamcast, so I guess we played it on that? Doesn't seem right, though.

I guess I'll go with Pokemon Stadium.
