TGVGD The Great Video Game Draft (n64 Draft)

[Smacktard]

@Jon is up

 

[Jon]

I think I preferred SSX, but...

1080 Snowboarding

@BigDaddy

 

[BigDaddy]

Sin and Punishment

Haven't actually played it, but I couldn't decide between a few other games, so I figured I might as well scoop up this cult classic.

 

[BigDaddy]

@Jawneh is up

 

[finlandguy]

Space Station Silicon Valley

Fuck Cappie and Mario Odyssey. This game already did mind controlling enemies so much better.

Turok 2 Seeds of Evil

I would say the best Turok game out there. Not yet a stupidly linear pseudo rail shooter, but an enjoyable dinosaur murder fest.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I think I preferred SSX, but...

1080 Snowboarding

@BigDaddy

SSX3 was peak.

SSX: On Tour on GC has Mario characters as bonus characters for free and MP modes. Basically making it the best version.

 

[BigDaddy]

Gauntlet Legends

Food is good!

@Jon is up

 

[Jon]

I guess...

Doom 64

Because I'm running out of good games.

@Smacktard

 

[shortkut]

Gauntlet Legends

Food is good!

@Jon is up

I was waiting for this to be picked

 

[The Flame]

That back-to-back Resident Evil and Worms took me so off guard because I had no idea either series had a game on the N64.

 

[Tommy Boy]

I guess...

Doom 64

Because I'm running out of good games.

@Smacktard

I feel you dude, my memory is fucking me over. I thought I played way more than 25 N64 games, but when I was 10, time also lasted forever. I feel like I may have spent 2 years playing only Banjo-Tooie lmao.

 

[BigDaddy]

How tf did I forget this existed? Nice pick.

That back-to-back Resident Evil and Worms took me so off guard because I had no idea either series had a game on the N64.

The N64 port of Resident Evil 2 was the first RE game I ever played. I think I rented it. It was fun.

So much this...

Gauntlet Legends

Best multi-player game on the system in my book. Definite top 10 for me.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Best multi-player game on the system in my book. Definite top 10 for me.

I remember the first time I beat it it was an accident. My friends all died and I was the last one left and almost dead myself. Just threw all the things I had and one of them happened to kill the boss.

Would have been nice to know what I was doing, but it was still fun.

 

[Ants!]

Gauntlet Legends

Food is good!

@Jon is up

Was definitely one of the games on my list to pick before the end (though not my next turn). Good choice! Gauntlet is awesome

 

[shortkut]

I mostly played gauntlet legends on the arcade cabinet

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Pretty sure we're all agreed it was a very fun game. Good late round pick by @BigDaddy

 

[dimmerwit]

Late? You guys still have three rounds left to absolutely scrape the barrel.

I have 0 rounds to make picks but will tell everyone if they've missed one at the end.

 

[shortkut]

I’m in that same draft

 

[dimmerwit]

Me too. I forgot there were others smart enough to sit this one out!

 

[finlandguy]

I got one more game that I played and is decent. I will probably have to find a list for my last game though.

 

[The Flame]

I got like 7 more half-decent picks left, so with the way things are going that'll probably be down to one or two by the time it's my turn.

 

[Ants!]

I have a bunch more as well. Also why are the haters even here?

 

[shortkut]

Who said we’re haters?

 

[Tommy Boy]

I'm just here to take Jon's badge

 

[Fire Queen]

my first n64 game is still on the board…will be very curious to see if anyone else picks it up lol

 

[A Maybe Baker]

I have a bunch more as well. Also why are the haters even here?

I'm not here to hate I'm here to remember the fun of games past

 

[Fool's Requiem]

fucking shit

Cruis'n World, Doom 64, Turok, Gauntlet Legends. Stop stealing all my games.

 

[BigDaddy]

One of the few cooperative multiplayer games on the N64. Yet there was still competition for resources, items, and leveling up. I feel like we usually tried to divvy up the resources within the levels evenly, but sometimes it was a free for all and hilarious chaos (and perhaps some choice words) ensued. Good times.

 

[Smacktard]

Two bangers of picks in a row by BigDaddy. I almost picked Sin and Punishment but I went with Pokemon Stadium in the end. Maybe not a great call, but nostalgia.

Of the games I've played, I only have a couple of more picks left, but they're shit picks, so instead I'm going to go with a game I want to play that is supposedly pretty good, and which I only ever learned existed this year:
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine

@Bandicoot you're up

 

[Bandicoot]

lots of good games in the eight since I was last up. Several from my shortlist. What’s worse is that sixteen more will go before my next pick.

They recently rereleased this one on Xbox and I’m trying to get back into it, for a third playthrough. I’ll pick Shadowman.

@Tommy Boy turn

 

[Quagmire]

Also why are the haters even here?

 

[VashTheStampede]

[VashTheStampede]

I mean, technically you all came to ME so I'm allowed to hate.

Ironically its just a Tomb Raider knockoff.

Its...okay I guess, if you like the original Tomb Raider games.

I have seen the box art a million times but I know absolutely nothing about the game.

time to go deep dive

 

[Smacktard]

Its...okay I guess, if you like the original Tomb Raider games.

I've never really played one. I have the trilogy waiting for me in Canada. I'll pick it up in December.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Original Tomb Raider games are a pain in the ass to play. The tank controls did not age well.

I believe Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb on the Xbox has a more modern control setup.

 

[Ants!]

I mean, technically you all came to ME so I'm allowed to hate.

You're not that special, I come to a lot of people here.

 

[VashTheStampede]

You're not that special, I come to a lot of people here.

its just nice to be included

 

[Jon]

I believe Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb on the Xbox has a more modern control setup.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis still holds a very special spot in my heart.

 

[Tommy Boy]

Glad to see one on my list is still available. A game unlike any other at the time, still to this day we don't really see much of this. Iconic, in my opinion.

Hey You, Pikachu!

We're fuckin barreling through this draft compared to last time, hell yeah lol. @Cole

 

[Fire Queen]

sniped me! i was thinking about it as a late pickup. i've long since lost the cartridge and the microphone but my pikachu n64 still works like a charm. pokemon channel wishes it had half the heart that hey you pikachu had

 

[Cole]

the only ever game to do football well.

NFL Blitz

 

[Fool's Requiem]

there goes another

@Banana your turn

 

[Tommy Boy]

Just now realizing that there are only 296 (297?) North American Nintendo 64 games, and 388 internationally. Meaning that this draft will contain at least 23% of the total N64 library from an International perspective, and 31% of NA games. Wow lol

Yeah I looked up those numbers and decided to cut it down a bit from 8 rounds lol

 

[BigDaddy]

Quality over quantity amirite?
