Any love for the N64? (coeus.sbs)

I don't see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn't look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It's the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I'm currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it is fun.

Ive had that sitting in my roms folder for years, but never gotten around to it. Do you think its a game that's more propped up on nostalgia or do you think it hold up well enough today?

Quest 64 wasn’t considered good in its own time; not sure what people would think of it today. I think it was very elementary, “baby’s first RPG” type of stuff, if I remember right, and that certainly didn’t bode well against games like FF7.

Honestly, probably mostly nostalgia and the fact that there weren’t many RPGs of that style on the N64. I remember some fun stuff but also very rough around the edges.

It's a 6/10. Nostalgia holds it aloft. I gave it a brief revisit and was totally unmotivated quite quickly.
