| DOOM64 - USA |
| |
`---------------------[VD64/128M/N64]--'
There was a rumour that said this game would be 4 player split screen...
However it didn't happen that way, so it was disapointing to see Midway
scrap the 4 player mode. But if you look at the game this is without a
doubt the best version of DOOM ever. The castles, walls, and even the
mosters are of top graphics. The controls are easy and responsive. The
only problem probably with DOOM would be it is outdated and played way too
much. But you must give credit to Midway for making one nice game!
*For some reason Anthrox released DOOM64 as a 128MB game, however it was
really a 64MB game. Thanks goto N64SPLIT v0.01 for the fix.
RATING: 7/10 @ 128MB Size!
RATING: 8.5/10 @ 64MB Size!!

J-League Live 64 from EA
[V64/JAP]------------------------[128Mbit]
This game was slightly different than Fifa64, the reason is that this JAP
version was licensed to the J-League. Therefore it had more stadiums and
teams. But the engine itself was still of Fifa64. If you like soccer games
this one is perfectly fine, the players are big and easily controllable. Many
will argue that Perfect Striker is a better soccer game because you can
control more with PS.
-> RATING: 7/10

Human Grand Prix
[V64/JAP]-------------------------[64Mbit]
This was an eagerly waited release from HUMAN SOFT. Many people thought from
graphic previews that this was the best racing game! However as many times
before, "You can't judge a book by it's cover." This game sucked... The
controls were horrible, this game is more of a simulation for you to watch...
-> RATING 3/10 For it's graphics...

BlastDozers from RARE/NINTENDO !
[V64/JAP]--------------------------[64Mbit]
Both these versions are identical except one is in English and the other is
in Japanese. Blast Corps is a winner in my book, with excellent graphics,
and graphic music (Even though I don't think I want a Blast Corps CD).
Blast Corps is a very original game of destruction. knock down all the
buildings in the area so the nuclear truck won't run into it and explode! =)
There are many vehicles you can control and also lots of secrets waiting to
be discovered. 60+ stages in all, this is one great game!

Doraemon from Epoch!
[V64/JAP]--------------------------[64Mbit]
What can i say about this game? Hmm... Really nothing, all I know is that is
a popular Japanese character and that this is supposed to be a MARIO64 clone,
which is was not. All I did when i first got the game was walk around and
could not do anything else. Th eonly buttons I found was a jump button.
This is just a totally crap game! DON'T GET THIS ONE!
-> RATINGS 2/10 Somebody shoot this game!
