Superman is beaten... Finally ! I found the game to be really easy (considering the fact that I was playing in the hardest mode), but I think there are like no differences between the difficulty levels. The game is full of game breaking glitches that make you restart the entire levels, so it can be frustrating, but that's what I expected from this game. The graphics are really, to be honest, the worst I've seen on the console and are very foggy. There are two types of levels. The "action" levels and the "rings" stages. And guess what ? The "rings" stages are funner, because you don't die often or at all in them. I found the gameplay to be OK, but I think that's due to the fact that I know the N64 controller too well.
I wouldn't say it was a terrible experience, because I liked some levels. You can see that this game had potential, it's just a shame that Warner Bros. told Titus that Superman couldn't fight "real" people in the "real" world or something like that and that they had to almost restart the whole game. Seriously, what were they thinking ? IMO, it's not the worst game ever. It's just an unfinished game that shouldn't have been on the market.
Extreme-G 2 is next !
Congrats on knocking out that heavy hitter. I'm glad you now understand the true problems with the game. I thought it had a lot if potential, too, but the game just ended up being a broken mess. The developer is semi-famous now for saying, "Of course it sucks. It's only 10% of a game!" Knowing the factors that contributed to its sucking does make it harder to slam, but I still find it to be an unplayable mess of a game. And yes, the ring stages are nothing. Hopefully, one if those reviewers people actually listen to will do a decent review of the game one day.
Also, I'm going to try and finish up Quake, which I was working on before I got distracted by other things. (Stupid life.) I might still try to knock out one or two others before the end of the year.
@RetroMichel: very nice to read that. I think you're the perfect person for this job, it's incredible that you're 16yo only.
@link463: I'm playing Quake in these days, but don't worry I don't think I'm going to beat it ;-) I don't like this kind of FPS, I'm more a GE007/PD person :-P
Today I beaten [b]All Star Baseball 99[/b] (Playoffs, Arcade on Rookie) using NY Yankees.
I didn't understand a thing: in final I won 3 matches and Cincinnati Reds won the first match only, and I had to play a another match, so I had to win 4 matches (I simulate the last one only). So is 5 the minimum number of matches in final? Because in All Star Baseball 2000 I played only 3 matches in final I seem.
However, my considerations about ASB 2000 are 100% the same about this game too. Great game on paper, boring in gameplay. But I'm not a baseball fan so my opinion is biased in this case.
I didn't liked it very much, I prefered World Tour despite the older graphics and the more simplistic options and features.
Now I beaten four N64 wrestling games, bust still miss the best: Revenge, Wrestlemania and above all No Mercy.
I hear you man, THQ moving to WWF killed the WCW games. At least the Acclaim entries (War Zone, Attitude, and ECW) were decent, but the EA WCW games sucked donkey balls. At least it's not Backstage Assault, that one was somehow a downgrade on Mayhem. With Ted Turner's money, you'd think they would've got someone who could do something good with the license
Best wrestling game I've played has to be No Mercy. THQ's games got better every time. None of them were bad, but the later you go, the better the games got. Acclaim made some decent playable games, and had a better visual appeal, but the fighting game mechanics were terrible. The EA games were visually awesome, but I had a better time playing King of the Ring on the NES than I had playing their N64 games (WCW Mayhem and Backstage Assault).
OK guys, 2016 is coming. Tonight, at 12AM, the 2016 thread will be up. Before it starts, I just want to thank you all. I really appreciated (and I still do) your participation and your motivation put in the 2015 N64 completion. We've surpassed the number of games beaten and I think that is a pretty nice achievement.
Italia64 is the winner of this year's N64 game, which I should send in the first week of January. You should post a picture of it in this thread (or the 2016 one) when you'll receive it.
Nice! I may have one more victory to report before the end of the night, bizarrely enough -- I've been working on Centre Court Tennis and I think I'll beat Easy today. But maybe I'll wait until tomorrow and then beat Normal from scratch for 2016.
Thanks for all your efforts maintaining the stats and enthusiasm for this project!
OK, I think I've beaten Centre Court Tennis, albeit on Easy. I won all four tournaments and got the #1 ranking. You get a victory sequence at the end of each tournament, but winning all four of them didn't trigger anything special.
Is there more to the game, or is that it? Does anyone have a manual to check, or a manual scan I can check? I can read other languages if necessary, especially French.

What a classic !
Now my player is ready to lead Japan in the International Cup!
I climbed the charts becoming:
WCW Television Champion
WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion
I didn't liked it very much, I prefered World Tour despite the older graphics and the more simplistic options and features.
Now I beaten four N64 wrestling games, bust still miss the best: Revenge, Wrestlemania and above all No Mercy.
Good plot, good atmospheres and good combat system's dynamics which mixes fighting games and JRPG.
Unfortunately very bad cameras and very repetitive gameplay.
Beaten WCW Mayhem! I used Goldberg ;-)

Hybrid Heaven is beaten! It required about 17 hours.

Awesome! I'm gonna try and play more N64 next year than this year. I'll probably ring in the new year replaying Conker's Bad Fur Day!
