![]() ![]() Transforming into a Deku scrub, Goron champion, or Zora guitarist was just the icing on this already scrumptious-tasting cake. While there were only four main dungeons, there was plenty to do in the world of Termina from collecting all of the masks to journeying through the numerous sub-dungeons Majora's Mask had to offer. This was a tremendously unique adventure with Young Link constantly needing to go back in time by three days or else the dreaded moon would crash into the planet, ending all life and giving the player an obnoxious game over. The world of Termina was unlike anything a Zelda fan had seen before. For a terrific third-person sci-fi shooter, Jet Force Gemini is heads and shoulders above the rest. Even the multi-player where players could select from a member of Jet Force Gemini or of one of Mizar's many drones, bugs, or baddies was a blast to participate in. The epic (a word used all too lightly on the internet, but it's the best description here) soundtrack still brings chills down my spine with its immense masterful compositions. The weaponry was impressive as well from powerful rocket launchers to rapid-fire machine guns. Now players could inhabit any planet, finding and rescuing all of the Tribal characters on each planet and level using the new upgrades of each character. After defeating the grotesque and grand insect, the adventure was just beginning. Each character proceeded through three planets or levels with multiple areas until they made their way to Mizar's Palace. The group consisted of Juno, Vela, and Lupus the dog. While not the top FPS on the N64, GoldenEye 007 will always have a near and dear place to my heart.īugs, guns, and outer space were the calls for the day in Jet Force Gemini. And that multi-player! While it did not have bots, four friends (or enemies) could frag one another all night long with the myriad of maps both small and large and a wealth of weaponry to shoot each other with. The varying missions depending on your difficulty chosen allowed for clever exploration of the game's marvelous and memorable levels. The controls and mechanics feel ancient to this day, but the game is still a joy to play. Why this game is so low on the list (it barely made it thanks to games like Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Kart 64, Mario Golf, Paper Mario, and Ogre Battle 64) is because so many FPS games have outshine this classic shooter. It may not have won the console war, and it may have started Nintendo's failures with third parties, but it was a fun system all to its own. The following is a top ten list of my favorite games for the little system that could. Vela was briefly in shock after such an intense fight but then Lupus appears and she continues the mission, helping him board the Spawnship safely by shooting down the drones guarding the cargo compartments.Did you know that today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Nintendo 64 in North America? Yep, it was fifteen years ago to the date that the original N64 stormed store shelves with two titles and brought three-dimensional gameplay to the masses (though there was already some form of 3D gameplay to be had prior). After destroying Lurg, The lift returns to the entrance to the Spawnship's docking bay and the side doors close automatically. First antlers, then torso, followed by arms until all that remains is a floating head. Like Fet-Bubb and the Mechantis Twins, heavy and explosive fire-power is required to dismember its body. It could also fire flares from its antlers and shoot rapid pistol fire from its arms.ĭespite being cornered, Vela managed to shoot Lurg down. Lurg's main attack was dropping explosive maggots directly down on Vela which she would dodge by side stepping to the edge of the lift. From the opposite side, Lurg emerged, saluted by the lift operator Drones as it passed.Īs it closed in on Vela, she turned to see it bearing down on her. Laughing to themselves, they promptly opened the side doors and sent her on a detour down the moat passage, leaving her trapped on the lift. Unfortunately the lift operators were two of Mizar's soldiers. She had no choice but to cross the moat on a metal lift to reach the ship. When Vela reached the entrance to the Spawnship's docking bay, she found it was protected by a moat of lava. Likely another creation of Mizar's, Lurg resembled a giant sluggish insect with brown antlers, cyborg arms bearing pistols and was capable of gliding through lava. Lurg is the second boss of the game, encountered by Vela within the depths of Ichor Military Base.
