+atari2600land Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Is there any out there? I'd love to see what Addams Family Pinball would have looked like, NP had it listed as one of the first 100 games to be released for the N64. Also, Taz Express looks interesting but i don't think it got released either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledown Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Taz Express was released only in PAL form. I own it, and it's a pretty decent platform game. Here's a link to scans of my box and cartridge. Screenshots are on the back of the box scan: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3073 Edited February 23, 2009 by doubledown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hadn't even implemented any graphics before it was canned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpgfaker Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Resident Evil 0 never came out on the N64 but there's a bit of footage on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMika Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Addam's Family? Did you talk to Tim or Jeff? We had the ROMs emulated and audio happening, I believe. And the playfield was rendering with a ball bouncing around - it was a fantastic 3D re-creation down to every detail. We had an Addam's Family machine in the office for reference (We scanned the bare playfield with a giant scanner, too, IIRC). Yes, we played almost too much of the pinball. BUT - It was intended to be included in the Midway Collection that eventually was released for N64. I *might* have a flash rom of it. I can't promise, but I remember holding onto it or the rom image for quite some time. I can't promise anything. It was turning out nice, with broken physics but working.

I Didn't know you posted here. It was Jeff that I spoke to, though I might have misinterpreted what he said, which was: "The graphics models were complete, but had not been integrated with the other pinball code. There was very little work done on the graphics engine at that point, as focus was on getting the physics accurate and efficient. So, it was playable, just not commercially pretty." Hope you find it, would be neat to see. I can't in good faith call Addams Family my favorite table (that honor goes to Fun House), but it is definitely up there, and I would have been all over a home version back then.

nesworld Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) First post here, so heya everyone :-) Anyway I too would love to see The Addams Family Pinball game, even if its just a few screenshots :-) Edited May 24, 2009 by nesworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+selgus Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 We had Rollerball up and running on the N64 before it was canned. It had all of the players skating around the rink and was playable. Wonder if I still have a ROM image somewhere... --Selgus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIWASABI Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 There aren't any Freakboy prototypes floating around are there? Now *there* was a game with promise. Based on what I remember, they had a really nice version of the game put together that was very fun, but it was dark, and Nintendo didn't like that. They were forced to change things up considerably until finally, the game had become such a piece of crap that they had no choice but to can it. I'd love if that fun prototype were available somewhere. -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesworld Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I still hope that the ECTS 2000 Dinosaur Planet somehow magically appears out of nowhere and lands on my doorstep.... I played the demo at ECTS back then and loved it eventhough it was just 5 very limited areas of the game to explore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Wasn't Super Mario Sunshine originally an N64 game?So was Metroid Prime, but in reality I don't think either were that far along for the N64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Ks Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Has everyone forgotten Earthbound 64? I doubt it was very far along at all before it was canceled, but it would still be neat to see what it would have looked like.

Baloo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Wasn't Super Mario Sunshine originally an N64 game? Not exactly. There was supposed to be sort of a Super Mario 64 2 (AKA Super Mario 128) game made for the Nintendo 64, then for the Gamecube, but what ended up happening in the end was basically some elements for the planned Super Mario 128 game ended up in Super Mario Sunshine. I don't think Super Mario Sunshine itself was ever planned for the Nintendo 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) I'd love to see DICE's N64 game Test Drive Rally get leaked (Was finished but never released) and Harrier 2000. Those were two titles I was really sad to see get canned. Edited July 11, 2009 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it was very far along at all before it was canceled, but it would still be neat to see what it would have looked like. It sickens me how EarthBound 64 just fell into oblivion... That game would have been Nintendo's answer to FF7 if it was released around that game's release. It would have moved N64s and been highly acclaimed along the lines of OoT and SM64... Oh well...
