JerseyDevil Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 i can assure you' date=' blues brothers and track and field weren't exclusive.[/quote'] I have an old article in NP that states International Track & Field 2000 and Indiana Jones and the Infernal machine are indeed Blockbuster exclusives. The article does not mention any other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega saturn x Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I think ogre battle might become rare just because it had a low print run and is one of the systems only rpg's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Max Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hydro Thunder was the last game released for the N64...it had a low print run and it's pretty hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesusc Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I've worked at a game store for the past five years, and we had both of thoes games at their time of release. I know we didn't order them from Blockbuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your posts about Harvest Moon and Ogre Battle make me think you are confusing rare with popular. Neither one of those games are rare but they are very popular and high priced.

Dones Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hydro Thunder was the last game released for the N64...it had a low print run and it's pretty hard to find. N64's port of Hydro Thunder is pretty good. It's amazing how much of the game was kept intact. If you can't get the Dreamcast copy, then I definitely recommend this one. BTW, a small correction: the last N64 game released was "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" (released in 08/20/2002). HT was released two years earlier.

Your posts about Harvest Moon and Ogre Battle make me think you are confusing rare with popular. Neither one of those games are rare but they are very popular and high priced. Actually Ogre Battle and Harvest Moon are both rarer titles. Especially Ogre Battle. It had a small print run and sat on shelves for a few weeks with no replacement shipments to be found. Harvest Moon did get a second print run but was put on hold and delayed because Nintendo was producing Pokemon and WrestleMania for the N64 and found some production time to run some more Harvest Moon games. This was Christmas of 2000 and I recall receiving 5 copies on Christmas Eve... 4 of them sold and the last one was snagged on Boxing Day when we received a call from the person who had it on hold (They bought their child something else for Christmas).

It had a small print run and sat on shelves for a few weeks with no replacement shipments to be found. I see both of them everywhere around here. Every Gamestop, Gamecrazy, EB around here has at least one copy of Ogre Battle. I was at a Gamestop about 2 weeks ago that had 5 of them. I have never seen Indiana Jones in the wild, I got mine off Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Paper Mario. Still goes for way high on ebay. i see plenty that sold for ~$20. That's way high? Didn't see that one, but I've been seeing them go for around the price they originally sold for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Wasn't there a Lucasfilm BB exclusive game? IIRC' date=' Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.[/quote'] I think you could also order that one from their websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Infernal Machine doesn't seem to be too hard to get: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8175257762 Neither does Elmo: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8175256967 (Yes before you mention it I know the Hey You Pikachu is missing the mic, but since it came free with Elmo what the hell.) There may be some rare N64 games but compared to what you'd pay for NES or Atari 2600 rares, they just aren't that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyDevil Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Infernal Machine doesn't seem to be too hard to get:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8175257762 There are very few games that are hard to get on E-bay. Every rare NES game comes up on E-Bay now and then. There may be some rare N64 games but compared to what you'd pay for NES or Atari 2600 rares, they just aren't that expensive. The N64 is newer than the NES. 10 years ago, you could get all the NES rares for under $20. I believe in 10 years when some of the sources dry up, the rarer N64 games will be worth more money than now. I'm not saying that Infernal Machine will be worth as much as Hot Slots but it will be worth more than $8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bark40oz Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 sin and punishment? i got mine from a nintendo rep that came and did a ad set every month.i cant find it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dones Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I had the chance to play Sin & Punishment and it's a great game (what game made from Treasure isn't?), similar to Panzer Dragoon or Space Harrier, but with an anime style. As far as I could tell the music is recorded and not midi-based. The game (while japanese) had a lot of menu options already in English. The game came out almost at the very end of the N64's life cycle. I think Nintendo just simply decided it wasn't worth the trouble bringing it to the states. I'm not saying that Infernal Machine will be worth as much as Hot Slots but it will be worth more than $8. The game is pretty good! Lucasarts did a bit of tweaking and improved some of the shortcomings from the original PC version. It looks great on highres (by N64 standards ). This is the closest thing the Nintendo 64 had to a Tomb Raider. Even with a guide this game takes a long time to finish. Expect to spend a lot of time exploring around and getting stumped before the solution becomes apparent (not necessarily a bad thing though).

Ferris Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Conker's Bad Fur Day ...definitely one of the most controversial 64 cartridges that received maximum hype during its over publicized launch. Sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the 64's library too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 No way Conkers is rare. That game was on clearance at TRU for months on end for $9.99. Imagine how many parents bought their kid Conkers while perusing the isles at TRU? Same goes for Perfect Dark and Paper Mario. Ogre Battle , Command & Conquer and Monopoly were clearanced from Best Buy for $9.99 until sellout, and that took a couple months as well. Every used game shop you go to you can find these games easily. The only games I can remember not seeing in stores for a very long time were Rush 2049, Starcraft, Hydro Thunder.

BydoEmpire Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Ogre Battle 64 (I think that was the name) came out near the end of the N64's lifetime, and I didn't see too many copies in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hydro Thunder is hard to track down for sure. I know they made way fewer for the N64 than the dreamcast. It's a superior title for both systems making it in high demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 "i can assure you, blues brothers and track and field weren't exclusive." You're wrong for Track & Field, I can't comment on the other. "Hydro Thunder was the last game released for the N64...it had a low print run and it's pretty hard to find." Not even close to the last game released for the system.
