Diddy Kong Racing (N64) Comments

Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo 64 (N64) is a racing/adventure game developed by Rare and released in November 1997.  Although it did not overtake Mario Kart 64 in popularity, it was the fourth best-selling game of 1997—for any system.  It has been said that Diddy Kong Racing’s Adventure mode is better than anything Mario Kart ever offered.  But it also has been said that its multi-player action is not on the same level as the Mario Kart series.  Do you agree?

Cruis’n USA (N64) Comments

Along with Killer Instinct, Cruis’n USA was one of the so-called “Nintendo Ultra 64” games released to the arcades in 1994.  When it actually arrived on Nintendo (N64) home system in December 1996, it was not the best port.  Yet, it became the sixth best selling game of 1996—for any system.  So does Cruis’n USA stand the test of time?

Automobili Lamborghini (N64) Comments

Automobili Lamborghini for Nintendo 64 (N64) came out in November 1997 and tried to fill a more traditional “road” racing niche on a system already loaded with jet skiing, off-road racing, futuristic racing, formula one racing, and fantasy racing with weapons.  Even though Automobili Lamborghini was not popular back in its day, does it hold a special place in time?

AeroGauge (N64) Comments

AeroGauge for Nintendo 64 (N64) was released in May 1998.  It is a futuristic racing game along the lines of F-Zero, except the hovercraft has the ability to move not only horizontally but also vertically.  You also have to master an odd turbo boost to win races successfully.  Has father time been nice to AeroGauge or not?
