A novelty shop, which mostly sells old action figures, also sells Dreamcasts and N64s for $25 and I'm thinking about buying both. What games should I get for either system.

If you like pro wrestling at all, look for the pro wrestling games for the N64. I mean the THQ ones I think like WWF (or was it already WWE at the time? No Mercy and some of the WCW games were sweet for it too.

We had an extended period of time off because of a teacher's strike and me and my friend played through it in one day and it was one of the greatest games I've ever played.

I think this is one of those nostalgia things - those games were great at the time, but looking at screenshots from games like WWF: Attitude, the wrestlers look like lumps of dough wobbling around. It'd probably be quite disappointing to pay them now, in an age of modern graphics and character models that don't (hopefully) move through one another.

OT: It depends what kind of games you like, really. Racers? Fighters? Shooters?

N64 = Super Smash Bros, GoldenEye, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Duke Nukem, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Space Station Silicon Valley

Dreamcast = Shenmue, Soul Caliber, Capcom Vs. SNK, Marvel vs. Capcom, Giga Wing, Omikron: The Nomad Soul (featuring David Bowie!), Rez, and Seaman.

By God but you must get Seaman. It will put the fear of God in you.

EDIT:

I wasn't talking about WWF: attitude at all which was actually I don't remember liking. And btw, most of the games I was thinking of actually probably had WORSE graphics, but were just very fun to play gameplay wise. More fun than the newer games i tried to play on the PS2 as well . I haven't played any of the ones this generation partially because I lost interest in pro wrestling though.

I presume they are second hand.

As for the games I bought Goldeneye for the N64 the other day, I was going to buy an N64 but I couldnt find one in town lol.

My mistake, I didn't actually mean Attitude - I was thinking of the first one, Warzone, the one with the red box and Steve Austin on the cover.

The newer ones are OK, I have a couple of the RAW vs Smackdown ones for the PS2. In terms of moves and varied matches, they're much better than the N64 games, which were often mostly punch/kick battles. Like you though, I lost interest in the genre, and these days if I want a fighting game I'll play Street Fighter.

Want to give it to me? I still have my old console, but my ***** sister gave away all my games :p

All I've got left is...*shudder*...Knife Edge. One of the worst games ever made, and conceptually moronic too - a lightgun game made for a console that didn't have a lightgun! A friend & I completed it once by plugging in two spare controllers and using rubber bands to hold the triggers down. What a wasted day...

Most of them have been mentioned, but for N64 I'd also recommend Doom 64, the best console Doom, Blast Corps, Body Harvest, 1080 Snowboarding, Starfox 64, and I still enjoy the first Turok. For Dreamcast, the only games I owned for it were Jet Grind Radio, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Soul Calibur, and the Atari Collection, so I'm not much help there. But Jet Grind Radio, Soul Calibur, and Soul Reaver were all fun games.

N64: Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time and Majora's mask, Super smash brothers and 1080 snowboarding are great games to start with. As for the Dreamcast, I never owned one, but my friend has said good things about jet grind radio.

I've actually never played it, but I love what little I've seen. I also don't know a single person who disliked it.

Warzone is the same kind of gameplay as Attitude. I'm sorry for being unclear, I meant by the games back then I specifically meant the ones published by THQ NOT Acclaim. I think almost all those games were only for the N64, never relased for the PSX except for maybe one which I think might have sucked. The pro wrestling games I liked because they weren't liked street fighter. With simple controls you could do a variety of moves with each wrestler not like the attitude/warzone games where all the moves were done like a mortal kombat or street fighter game.

I liked the graphics, story and humor but the game just got too hard for me. I think I resorted to cheat codes to see the rest of the story.
