Introduction - 2 pages (30-31)
Arena
| Game Title | Publisher | Reviewer | Pages | Pg No(s) | Ver (%) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Mario 64 | Nintendo | Zy Nicholson | 14 | 32-45 | 96 | Swahili holds the only word to sum it up. SM64 is absolutely tsufufum |
| Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire | Nintendo | James Ashton | 6 | 46-51 | 78 | Basically solid, but lacking the innovation and brilliance of Nintendo's other launch titles. Get Turok before you get this. |
| Pilotwings 64 | Nintendo | Tim Weaver | 6 | 52-57 | 89 | Pilotwings 64 is a breathtaking showcase for the N64. What Nintendo promised, they have delivered. Superb |
| Turok: Dinosaur Hunter | Acclaim | Tim Weaver | 7 | 58-64 | 91 | Stunningly created by Iguana, Turok breaths new life into a tired old genre. Ludicrously violent, marvellously entertaining and another fantastic edition to the N64's growing library. |
Import Arena
| Game Title | Publisher | Reviewer | Pages | Pg No(s) | Ver (%) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mario Kart 64 | Nintendo | Jonathan Davies | 8 | 66-73 | 91 | An extremely entertaining game, especially if you've got four controllers. |
| Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey | Midway | Jonathan Davies | 1 | 74 | 70 | Fast-moving, violent and intense. Ice hockey as it's meant to be played. |
| Killer Instinct Gold | Nintendo | Zy Nicholson | 2 | 76-77 | 62 | Guaranteed to please fans of the coin-op. And nobody else. |
| J-League Perfect Striker | Konami | Tim Weaver | 3 | 78-80 | 89 | A fantastic N64 debut for football, and April's Europeanization should spell complete satisfaction. Superb. |
| Mortal Kombat Trilogy | Midway | Marcus Hawkins | 2 | 84-85 | 34 | Vastly over-rated as a game and an extremely poor use of the N64's powers. This really is best avoided. |
| The Glory of St. Andrews | Seta | Tim Weaver | 1.33 | 86-87 | 58 | It looks like a travesty but plays pretty well. However, N64 golf deserves a better representative than this. |
| Cruis'n USA | Nintendo | Jonathan Davies | 0.66 | 87 | 34 | Basically solid, but a pale shadow of the much-better Mario Kart. |
| Mahjong Master | Konami | Wil Overton | 0.5 | 88 | 69 | Okay so it's Mah Jong. What's so wrong about that, eh? |
| NBA Hangtime | Midway | Jonathan Davies | 0.5 | 88 | 52 | Excellent basketball, but we'd rather play football. |
| Wonder Project J2 | Enix | Wil Overton | 1 | 89 | 55 | An interesting attempt at something new, but it doesn't quite come off. |
| King of Pro Baseball | Imagineer | Tim Weaver | 1 | 90 | 68 | Initially great fun, but the longer you play, the more annoying the players become. |
