"N64"

I recently dug out the N64 that my best mate and I used to play on religiously for about 4 years. The same copy of Goldeneye and Fifa 99, and it is still just a much fun as it was back then.

Goldeneye is still THE DADDY of first person shooters, and Fifa 99 is as good as Pro Evo 3 for its playability (not graphics though). WWF No Mercy is still the best wrestling game out there, no contest, the smackdown titles dont even come close to its prowess.

I still like my PS2 but the N64 is just, well, more fun!

IS THAT IT?

I SCOURED THE ENTIRE LEVEL A THOUSAND TIMES, PECKING AT EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF SCENERY, when all I had to do was... :-D


Pebble Kazooie's arsse! :-D


I've already gpt all 3 cheato's although I knew what the second 2 codes were as soon as I heard the first one! :-D

Poo eggs into him.

After that you'll be able to get many Banjo-cheats, secret eggs and much other Banjo-ee goodness, including the Cheato books. Complete it properly and feel good ;-)

Still not sure what those damn things do!

It's not the game that was the problem.
It was just the N64 couldn't keep up anymore.

That's the ONE thing that holds back games like Conker and Perfect Dark from still being the best games around.
If the N64 could've handled Rare's full ambition for COnker, they wouldn't feel the need to remake it for Xbox.

The multiplayer on N64 Conker was great in someways, but was designed with more scope than the N64 could handle.
It could only just manage 4 players and bots slowed it all down.
Even with just 4 players, the framerate was still a little choppy.

With the Xbox and live, framerate and lack of players will be a thing of the past.



Anyways, while people are talking of Banjo Kazooie, I've found everything on Treasure Cove beach except for the pebble to fix the bucket.
The bucket has a hole and needs the "bear" to find a "pebble" to fix it.
I've found loads of pebbles, but they're just painted onto the scenery! ;-)


COuld anyone tell me where the live, bucket fixing pebble is? :-)

Indeed; for 17 of those words anyway ;)

It's annoying - but it doesn't make the actual gameplay any worse.

Anyway, none more of this arguing; it's pointless and I'm obviously right ;-)

There is me thinking that elements of the old games didn't need new improvements...

Yeah - the framerate is really, really annoying. After only playing through the first level you can tell it's bigger than Kazooie; the fact that there are inaccesible areas and objects that make no sense (the metal egg) shows that there are aspects of the game that require you to return to.

FPS sections seemed a bit awkward at first, too, but then got a bit better. By the way, does anyone know what the Kazooie '?' eggs are for, I've seen one on Tooie and have all of them, and the Ice Key, on Kazooie. Tis odd.

It really does have the best music ever.

It really is, a lot harder than its predecessor. I think the only thing that dissapoints me about that game is the poor framerate, but I can live with it. Sadly, I only reached 86 out of 90 jiggies. Too hard for an old master like me. (OK, I'm only 17.)

Just got Banjo Tooie today... brilliant.
