I know that, a couple of weeks ag when I first got my N64 and people suggested that I buy Diddy Kong Racer I dismissed it but know I apoligise. After seeing DKR on swapitshop.com for the sweet amount of 1,500 swapits, I couldn't resist and bought it, along with Rayman 2

Diddy Kong Racer is one of, if not the joint (with Mario Kart) best racer that I have ever played on. But i am confused - I have heard that their are 4 areas and I've only got 3 - somebody explain!

Rayman is preety good, but it takes too long to get into and I haven't got a rumble pack/save thingymajig, so I've played on it twice and got bored...

Any other suggestions for games to buy for my 64?

I don't know about the rest of u ppl, but i bought Rayman 2, And it turned out to be a really great game also a quite a massive one too.

Have fun on it, and hope u do get into to it cos its a brill under-rated title for the N64.

Gamestation rules. I bet if I checked there every Saturday for the next 3 months, i'd be able to get all the N64 game for under £1000... What?

Displise Colin McRae!!! :@ raa! lol

There is one other kart racing on N64. Mickey's Speedway. I'm still trying to get hold of it myself though! So don't expect to be able to pick that one up in a hurry!

Try a Zelda game or a great shoot em up like Goldeneye or Perfect Dark.

Forsaken is like Descent if you ever played that. It's REALLY good! Well I REALLY like it!

Blast Corps is a really original game made by Rare. Nuclear stuff carrying truck needs to get across map, and you have to demolish all the buildings and stuff in it's way. Pretty good game.

Mystical Ninja is pretty hard to get hold of. I managed to find it in some Gamestation for £3 I think. It's a crazy Jap style RPG. I think it's great!

It was a good racer I thought.

Arrr, you've got to get into it. Once you learn how to control the Jet-Ski's properly, you'll see it's one of the GREATEST racing games ever!

You simply MUST get a memory card for Rayman 2. It is such a wonderful game when you get going. The graphics are absolutely amazing for the N64! I love playing it, even now. Diddy Kong Racing is still one of my favourites too! A masterpiece of gaming history if you ask me. There's nothing like it on any other system and never will be. The music is great too and I loved it so much I bought a copy of the soundtrack!!
I LOVE my N64!!!

I'm still waiting for Diddy Kong Racing to arrive second-hand in the post. Hopefully it'll come tommorow in the post, along with Jet Force Gemini.

I haven't played my N64 in ages, and I really need to get back to it so I can finnish-off all 15+ games - including the 2 excellent Zelda titles.
Hopefully these 2 games will help me get-away-from my Cube.
