N64 vs PS1

[bantx]

Which one had the better games?
Which one changed the world of gaming?
Which one dominated?
Which one was more addicting?
Which one was more awesome?

N64 - 007 Golden, Mario 64, Mario Tennis, basically all the marios, Zelda, Gauntlet Legends, Super Smash Brothers, Star Fox 64, Pokemon games, Turok, Kirby, WCW Revenge, WWF Wrestle Mainia 2000, PaperBoy, Ready 2 Rumble, NBA JAM, Mega Man 64, Harvest Moon, Quake, some of these may have been on the ps1 but its more awesome on the 64

N64 > PS1

[comahan]

Its ALL about the 64.

I still play the 64 sometimes.

[Ewing]

N64, before Nintendo went to crap.

[EdReedUnstoppable]

N64!!! You forgot two of the best games for it......

1080 Snowboarding

Mariokart 64

[BamaFalcon59]

Final Fantasy and Mental Gear Solid for the win and Sony.

[shavedaeyebrow2]

O man, I forgot all about 1080 snowboarding. If I remember correctly there was some cheat or something in which you could slide down with a penguin as your board.

[fenikz]

this isn't even close, the only game that i wanted on a PS was Bushdo Blade and even that was only decent

Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Brothers, Super Mario 64, Golden Eye, Turok, The Zelda games, & Starfox, basically all made by nintendo and all classics

[bantx]

N64 was way more addicting and had a lot of games there were so many more games that u could play with ur friends, plus N64 had up to 4 controllers

[EvilMonkey]

Mario Kart 64 makes n64 better by a ton. Even to this day, nothing beats a 4-person race in which the 3 losers must take a shot. Easiest way ever to get people to drink 15 shots in an hour

[iowatreat54]

goldeneye, mario kart, wrestlemania 2000, super smash bros, the list goes on...basically if N64 was internet accessible, it would blow all next gens outta the water :D

[Forenci]

I guess I'd have to go with the N64, it had a ton of epic games.

However, I loved both of them, as they both had a lot of awesome games.

The PS1 had games like Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, Silent Hill, Wipeout, Resident Evil 2, Grand Turismo 2 and of course, one of the best games ever..Final Fantasy VII.

So, they both had a ton of great games, but again, N64 just constantly had more, and better games.

[fenikz]

goldeneye, mario kart, wrestlemania 2000, super smash bros, the list goes on...basically if N64 was internet accessible, it would blow all next gens outta the water :D

actually i have considered this, on a lot of emulators there is a way to play over the internet, goldeneye would be insane if someone could figure out how this worked

[Splat]

Nintendo 64 and it ain't even close and that is coming from a sony fan.

[holtfan92]

I owned a PS1 but I think N64 was better with all the classic games that were on there.

[Splat]

wrestlemania 2000:D

There were so many good wrestling games on the 64 to many to name they are still some the best WCW and WWF game ever made IMO.

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

N64 by far. Smash Bros and 007 were amazing. Altough now its between Microsoft and Sony.

[Canadian_kid16]

N64 by a mile...they probably made the best Madden game out there, MADDEN 2000!!!!!!!

[getwellchad]

n64 = the shizz

[Vikes99ej]

N64 > all others.

[kwilk103]

this just begs the question:

what happened to nintendo? all those great games, and its just gone downhill

N64 > PS1

Better games? I'd say 64. Goldeneye and Ocarina of time were absolute classics.
Changed the world of gaming? PS1. Notice how all game systems use disks now.
Dominated? In what sense, exactly?
Addicting? Probably N64. 4-player support without a multitap, and no memory card for most games.
More awesome? N64.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

Nintendo should scrap all future projects and just bring back the 64 with new games.

technically sega saturn/sega CD were the first with discs...

plus N64 brought in the use of the joystick and basically started multiplayer, I'd say it had more of an impact on gaming IMO

[KCJ58]

Nintendo 64 and it's not even close

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

Yeah, but those sega systems were massive flops. Obviously, when game developers began using discs, they weren't emulating those.

Although I never thought about your second point, it is a valid one.

One thing though, PS1 DID start the trend towards video game consoles doubling as entertainment systems. PS1 played CDs, and it's just built from there.

[Ewing]

Final Fantasy and Mental Gear Solid for the win and Sony.

I'm the biggest MGS fan on the planet but I still give the nod to the 64. Star Fox and Goldeneye seal the deal.

[Wooty Magic!]

N64 hands down.

[kwilk103]

dont forget the rumble pack for 64

[JagHombre22]

I'll just go ahead and throw Turok 64 out there as the best game not named Mario or Goldeneye....

[iowatreat54]

this is true, PS1 did popularize CDs and entertainment

I'll just go ahead and throw Turok 64 out there as the best game not named Mario or Goldeneye....

I respectfully disagree...there are a lot of games better, even if you mean specifically for 64 or PS1 only

[kwilk103]

anyone mention ken griffey jr baseball?

played for hours

[JagHombre22]

this is true, PS1 did popularize CDs and entertainment



I respectfully disagree...there are a lot of games better, even if you mean specifically for 64 or PS1 only

Turok 64 had one of the greatest multiplayer options of any game I've ever played...I had countless hours of fun just playing King of the Hill...

[B-Dawk]

64 for multiplayer games but ps had far better single player

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

I loved cheating at Turok.

[PackerLegend]

what about Blitz for N64 that game was awesome but GOLDENEYE was the best ever. PS1 had twisted medal and crash bandicoot and the games I remebered most. I had them both and they were alot of fun. I would say its a tie.

[Rich Jr]

[Beans]

get N or get out

[Paul]

N64 is a great machine with great games no questions. But I have to go with the PS1. There were some revolutionary and influential titles on the PS. MGS brought a whole new style of gaming, there was nothing like FF7's cinematics and RPG game play at the time, Gran Turismo attention to detail was truly influential, Pappa the Rappa was just plain fun and set a foundation for future rhythm based games and Lara Craft had giant boobs.

Plus a game nobody ever talks about Parasite Eve was one of my favorite games of all time.

[iowatreat54]

Turok 64 had one of the greatest multiplayer options of any game I've ever played...I had countless hours of fun just playing King of the Hill...

I thought Turok was only single player...I don't remember the first one having multiplayer, I could be mistaken, but I thought multiplayer was added for the sequels...

[bhaarat316]

i nvr like Turoq it got boring and gave me a headace, but N64 all the way. Dreamcast though was pretty good could have beat both of them, but it was kind of ahead of its time, thats usual with sega, comming out with Sega cd and genisis.

Golden Eye

[Draft King]

I'd say N64 although PS1 did have Castlevania: SOTN. Best game ever.

[Rich Jr]

Goldeneye=Best Game Ever. That's it, all time. Ever. None other is better. Ever. That's it.

[Mr. Stiller]

I'm split.

N64: Starfox, Super Smash Brothers, Ken Griffey Baseball, NFL QB Club 98, NHL 2000, WCW vs NWO, WCW vs THE WORLD, etc.

PS1: Syphon Filter, Final Fantasy Series, Legend of Legaia, Parasite Eve, Breath of Fire III, Xenogears, Mega Man series, Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo 2, Chrono Cross, Tekken 3, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, Dave Mirra BMX, Castlevania: Symphony of the night, Resident Evil Series, Silent Hill series, Metal Gear Solid, etc.

I think I'm going to have to go with PS1 for Games.

N64 had quite a few addictive games like Smash brothers, WCW vs the World, Mario Party, Mario RPG, the Zelda Series..

But I'm a huge RPG Buff and honestly the PS1 had the better roleplaying games and better storylined games..

Resident Evil series, Final Fantasy Series, Chrono Trigger games..

N64 was the better multiplayer system

[EvilMonkey]

Goldeneye=Best Game Ever. That's it, all time. Ever. None other is better. Ever. That's it.

mariokart disagrees

[Forenci]

Well, I think the Dreamcast certainly deserves honorable mentions, they had some amazing games.

The Adventues of Sonic the Hedgehog was amazing. The way you could play as various characters was incredibly unique.

However, the game I truly loved for the Dreamcast was none other then Shenmue. That had to have easily been one of the best games I've ever played. The way it balanced the fight scenes with the story was epic.

Plus, there were a ton of fun mini-games you could partake in.

So yeah, the Dreamcast deserves some props.

[The Legend]

N64 was better but PS1 had FF7 & FF8 so this was really really hard
i went N64 for its overall games P.Dark,S.Bros,G.Eye,Fifa,Mario,Zelda
also i would have to agree with the guy above Dreamcast was a better system
Nintendo kill everything untill PS2 came out, senice then song been the top dog

thou sony is my life now
Phone,Tv,Pc - PS3 kills preatty much everything now imo

[fondoffilm]

Holy ****, I came into this thread fully expecting the N64 to get killed. Pleasantly surprised.

I love the 64, my childhood favorite. Anyone ever play Mystical Ninja?

[Mr. Stiller]

Wasn't Mystical Ninja a SNES Game? It was cool but the music score for a game that long should have consisted more than 4 scores.

But the minigames in that were addicting.

[Rich Jr]

mariokart disagreesMario Kart is a great game. But it can't hold Goldeneye's jock. Hell I enjoyed Diddy Kong racing more than Mario Kart sometimes.

[Beans]

dreamcast, as awesome as it was, is included in the gamecube/xbox/ps2 generation.

[fondoffilm]

Wasn't Mystical Ninja a SNES Game? It was cool but the music score for a game that long should have consisted more than 4 scores.

But the minigames in that were addicting.

Yeah, but there was an N64 one as well: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

Then there was a sequel, Goemon's Great Adventure, but I never got around to playing it.

[Patriots16-0]

PS1 > N64
PS2 > Game Cube
PSP > DS

but...

Wii >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> P$3

[jkpigskin]

zelda ocarina of time = best game ever
n64 was great

[Rich Jr]

come on he lives in Brazil, its heroin that is cheap

[Vikes99ej]

Super Mario 64 is one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. I don't know how I beat it when I was 10.

[A Perfect Score]

i voted PS1 just because FF7 did more for gaming and RPGs then any N64 did for its respective genre. I still play it all the time.

[fenikz]

...how N64 created the 3D game, 1st Person Shooter and Party games

[Bills2083]

N64.
One of the best systems ever.

[Paul]

...how N64 created the 3D game, 1st Person Shooter and Party games

Really? That's news to me. How exactly is that true?

[Caddy]

I owned a PS1 and can safely say that in retrospect I wish I had owned a 64. Smash Bros. Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Conkers, Mario Kart etc were all great fun and hell addictive.

[Rich Jr]

I remember playing Mario Party with my friend all night and at 3 am his mom heard us, came in and played with us until 7.

[Bigbadbob72]

N64

How could you forget Blitz and Diddy Kong Racing. The 2 best games ever.

[Jvig43]

Ps1's truly great, defining game was FF7, and as great as that was the big N has all the marios, and zeldas which is reason enough to believe the N64 is better then the playstation, although ill say the psone had the better system. haha kinda like the wii and ps3 now, ps3 is the better all around system, but lacks ANY truly great games. both the 360 and Wii have multiple amazing games that will always be remebered. PS3 had MGS4 lined up, but are praying that it wont go multi platform oonce the system exclusive deal with konami is up, which is rumored to be only eight months after it arrives for the ps3.

[bearsfan_51]

http://www.juegomania.org/Diddy+Kong+Racing/fotos/n64/0/97_t/Foto+Diddy+Kong+Racing.jpg

Diddy Kong Racing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mario Kart

[Jvig43]

whoa, no way does diddy kong racing beat mario kart 64. Diddy kong was great, Mario kart 64 was epic.

[bantx]

omg how could i forget about diddy kong racing me and my cousin used to stay up all night playing this man i miss my n64 i got my system but no controllers or games i should try to go buy some games n controllers

[bearsfan_51]

whoa, no way does diddy kong racing beat mario kart 64. Diddy kong was great, Mario kart 64 was epic.

I dare you to think of three reasons why Mario Kart was better, you can't.

Diddy Kong was better in:

Graphics
Soundtrack (I can still close my eyes and listen to that intro tune)
Storyline
Character selection (gotta love Tip-Tup)
Multi-player
Choice of options


The storyline is really what set it apart. Mario Kart was a fun racing/multiplayer game, but Diddy Kong was it's own little epic adventure.

[Rich Jr]

I might buy a N64 on Amazon for 30 bucks brand new.

[Jvig43]

i thought the tracks in mario kart were better, the power ups were cool, and had more unlockable content. those are my three reasons, but i see where we disagree. Mario 64 was still in my mind one of the funnest games ive ever played. same with Zelda OOT

[bearsfan_51]

The 2nd best game was Conker's Bad Day, if for no other reason than characters like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w5neFPat1w

[Paul]

Though picked PS1 and will continue to pick it, Mario Kart and Star Fox 64 were stupidly fun and addicting. Though in Mario Kart the Purple Shell you used to get when you were in last place was possibly the most useless weapon ever, give me a goddanm star danmit.

[Patriots16-0]

come on he lives in Brazil, its heroin that is cheap

Everything is cheap here. Except video games. 2500 bucks for a PS3. 260 bucks a single game.

[The Unseen]

I'm not sure if I ever actually beat that game...Diddy Kong was pretty epic, but Mario Kart has it's own sheer greatness that is hard to express with mortal utterance...

...yeah.

[Caddy]

The 2nd best game was Conker's Bad Day, if for no other reason than characters like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w5neFPat1w

Possibly my favorite game on the N64. How can you not love some good old fashioned Teddy Vs Squirrel CTF.

[niel89]

mario kart 64 is simple amazing. i still can play it for days with some friends. get 6 people and make the bottom 2 swap out.


Also Yoshi is by far the best driver.

[Thunder&Lightning]

n64 all day n64 revolutionized gaming...mario for ife

[757Dawg]

N64.

There was nothing funner than multiplayer on GoldenEye, Mario Kart, and the WCW/WWF games.

I logged a ton of hours into those games.

[Crickett]

Something my friends and I used to play when we were tired of proxy mining each other to death was Forsaken. But then we'd just all get railguns and try to snipe each other through walls Eraser style. And then we'd go back to Goldeneye.

[Splat]

I might buy a N64 on Amazon for 30 bucks brand new.

I still have mine it has been kicked stepped on had pop spilled on it dropped took to a million differnt houses logged hours and hours of gaming fun and still comes on first try the thing is a TANK!

[P01ntb1ank]

Goldeneye was the first true multiplayer FPS on a gaming console. Not to mention the story mode also kicked some butt. And almost all the mario games were super addicting. And you can't forget the best wrestling game ever made... No Mercy! I think it was just that N64 appealed to a wider audience than PS1. No doubt both were great systems, but N64 truly set the standard

[Crickett]

I wish I had gotten WWF No Mercy. I got WCW/NWO World Tour/Revenge and WWF Wrestlemania 2000, but I never got No Mercy.

I did get the first two Def Jam games which had the same type of gameplay, but with rappers (and Henry Rollins) instead of wrestlers.

[Splat]

I wish I had gotten WWF No Mercy. I got WCW/NWO World Tour/Revenge and WWF Wrestlemania 2000, but I never got No Mercy.


No Mercy was great but from some reason on mine it would forget every thing you had saved after so long for some reason I can't tell you how many times I had to start over.:(

[fenikz]

anyone play Jet Force Gemini? that game was sweet, real fun multiplayer too

[nobodyinparticular]

The sheer amount of generation defining games for the N64 make this a landslide for Nintendo. Gamecube admittedly almost sunk the company, but N64 was the pinnacle of greatness for Nintendo. You had Diddy Kong racing as well as MarioKart 64, both epic games. You all the wrestling games, Mario 64, Gauntlet Legends (amazing game to go through on multiplayer), Turok, Starfox. You had Perfect Dark which was great for sure, but no game since Super Mario Bros. could measure up to 007 GoldenEye in terms of how epic it was and only Halo can reach that level since then.

GoldenEye was epic of epic. Super Mario Bros was the Jim Brown of games, GoldenEye was Jerry Rice/Joe Montana.

[wingboy2999]

PS for me. Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid is where it is at for me. I had a lot of fun with 64 as well but I like PS more.

[Splat]

The first Rush racing game was classic on the 64 as well I was not a big fun of the other ones but the first one rocked.
