From the team that brought you Wave Race 64 comes 1080� Snowboarding, a racing game that has you thrashing down mountains from a perspective behind your character. Six game modes include the following: Match Race, Time Attack, Trick Attack, Contest, Versus Match, and Training. The heart of the game is the Match Race, where you'll choose one of five characters and eight authentic Lamar boards before advancing through six snow-covered courses, each offering multiple shortcuts.

Time Attack is your chance to show how fast you can fly down each course, while those who simply want to perform tricks can do so in either the Trick Attack or Contest modes. Trick Attack lets you choose any of the unlocked courses (plus two stunt-oriented courses) to pull off as many aerial moves as possible before time expires. Contest has you aiming for the highest total score in a series of five courses. The harder the tricks, the more points you'll earn in each play mode.

Versus mode lets you challenge a friend via split-screen display, while Training gives you an opportunity to practice over 25 tricks. All five characters wear authentic Tommy Hilfiger clothing and are rated from one to ten in technique, maximum speed, balance, power, and jump. Each board is also rated in stability, edge control, acceleration, response, and flex (stiffness). If you're good enough, not to mention fast enough, you'll be able to unlock three hidden riders and one extra board.

Nasty witch Gruntilda has stumbled upon the perfect invention: a machine to transform ugliness into beauty. Since mirrors shatter whenever she draws near, Gruntilda was looking for a new makeover, especially after years of watching her sister get all the choice warlocks. Alas, before the transformation could begin, she first needed a volunteer: the hopelessly cute Tooty, beloved sister of a banjo-strumming bear.

Thus begins the story of a dim-witted honey bear named Banjo, a rambunctious breegull named Kazooie, and the rhyming witch Gruntilda. All characters play crucial roles as you explore the colorful worlds of Mumbo's Mountain, Treasure Trove Cove, Clanker's Cavern, Bubblegloop Swamp, Freezeezy Peak, Gobi's Valley, Mad Monster Mansion, Rusty Bucket Bay, and Click Clock Wood. Your goal is to defeat the wily witch and rescue Tooty from a makeover most extreme.

Before players can enter these lands, however, they must first find the requisite number of jigsaw pieces or musical notes, both of which are found scattered throughout the worlds. If this seems daunting, keep in mind Banjo is not alone in his journey. Since Kazooie rests inside Banjo's backpack, players can swap between the two at any time to make use of each character's special abilities.

As Banjo, you'll be able to climb, punch, jump, swim, and somersault to reach new areas or to defeat enemies. As Kazooie, you'll be able to fire eggs, perform beak barges, run up steep slopes, glide through the air, and perform beak stomps. Together, Banjo and Kazooie can fly, flip, and perform other aerial acrobatics. Rare's first platform game on Nintendo 64 also supports the Rumble Pak accessory to let you "feel" each move with vibration feedback.

Top Gear Rally is a racing game featuring nine customizable vehicles and five themed locales, including courses set within a jungle, strip mine, desert, mountain, and along a coastline. A paint shop lets you change your vehicle's color scheme and logos, while further tweaking in the areas of transmission, tires, and steering is also possible before each race. Navigate your way through the twisting, sprawling courses while traveling across snow, dirt, mud, and gravel in varying weather conditions. Four play modes include Practice, Time Attack, Arcade, and Championship. The latter involves progressing through six seasons by challenging 19 rival vehicles on various courses for three laps. In addition to racing the computer, you can also compete against a friend on a choice of courses via split-screen display. A Controller Pak is required to save season progress and custom paint schemes.

Star Wars: Episode I: Racer streaks onto the Nintendo 64 just as the highly anticipated fourth Star Wars film debuts across the nation -- a simultaneous release on May 19, 1999. Based on the movie's Podracing sequence, the game offers players the chance to pilot one of six crafts in a Tournament spanning three circuits: Amateur, Semi-Pro and Galactic. Players can also race in Time Attack and Practice modes.

Each circuit is composed of seven different tracks, bringing the number of courses to 21 (plus four hidden). Since only one event is featured in the film, the developers expanded the racing to eight planets: Tatooine (site of the movie's race), Ando Prime, Aquilaris, Ord Ibanna, Baroonda, Mon Gazza, Oovo IV and Malastare. As you might expect, each planet offers varied terrain, including oceans, mountains, forests, deserts, swamps and even lava!

Podracers span 30 feet in length and feature twin engines designed to reach speeds of up to 600 miles per hour. Each craft is also built to reflect the abilities of the 23 pilots in the game, meaning no two Podracers look or handle the same. The six characters you'll initially choose from are as follows: young Anakin Skywalker (the only human able to compete), Ebe Endocott, Dud Bolt, Elan Mak, Gasgano and Ody Mandrell.

Additional Podracers can be unlocked by placing first on each course, but you'll only need to place fourth or better (out of 12) to continue progress in the tournament. The game also includes a betting system that allows players to set the amount of money received after finishing a race: Winner Take All (first place receives the entire sum of cash), Fair (money is spread out among the top four) or Skilled (the top two earn the most money).

The winnings can then be used to purchase upgrades in the following areas: traction, turning, acceleration, top speed, air brake, cooling system and repair. Players have the choice of buying either new or used parts, with used parts being cheaper and more likely to wear out, at Watto's shop in between races. Besides the one-player game, Star Wars: Episode I: Racer also features two-player competition on a horizontally-split screen.

The 256-Meg cartridge supports the Rumble Pak for vibration feedback and the Expansion Pak for high-resolution graphics, but the Controller Pak is not required to save information. The game automatically records fastest times, unlocked characters and ship upgrades to one of four data files. Expect to hear voice clips from Anakin Skywalker and the various aliens as they taunt you in Dolby Surround Sound throughout each race!

The well-traveled Mario embarks on his most visually striking adventure to date, one that finds the mustachioed plumber running, jumping, and flying across 3D realms for the first time. While the storyline might not surprise veteran players -- Princess Peach has been abducted yet again by Mario's turtle-shelled nemesis, Bowser -- the control scheme and play mechanics offer a new take on the best-selling platform series. The Nintendo 64's distinctive controller allows Mario to tiptoe, walk, and run simply by varying pressure on the analog stick. The yellow buttons control the camera, while others initiate triple jumps, back flips, ground pounds, and more. Mario can even swing and fling large boss characters by twirling the analog stick after grabbing them.

The 15 main worlds in Super Mario 64 are linked together from within Peach's castle. While exploring the hallowed halls and royal rooms, players will encounter paintings leading to new and varied environments. From snow- and lava-filled realms to lagoons and deserts, each world is home to seven golden stars that Mario must collect to unlock additional areas in the castle. Players will complete an assortment of tasks to acquire all 120 stars, from locating eight red coins to racing a giant penguin. Familiar enemies such as goombas, koopas, and chain chomps will appear sporadically throughout each area, allowing Mario to perfect his patented butt-bounce. The ultimate goal is to find and defeat Bowser in a series of three one-on-one showdowns.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is a shooter game in which gameplay takes place from a first-person perspective. The three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics and style of play combine elements of the run-and-gun computer game Doom with exploration mechanics of Tomb Raider. Players begin the game in a central hub level, which contains portals to seven other stages. The player must find keys scattered across the stages. When enough keys have been inserted into the lock mechanisms of a hub portal, that level is unlocked. Players explore the large, typically jungle-based levels by jumping, swimming, climbing, crawling, and running.
One of the player's main objectives is to find pieces of a relic known as the Chronoscepter; there is one piece on each level. In exploring the levels the player must fight various enemies such as poachers, gunmen, indigenous warriors, dinosaurs, demons, and insects. Turok features 13 weapons plus the Chronoscepter, ranging from a knife and bow to high tech weaponry. All weapons except the knife require ammunition, which is dropped by dead enemies or picked up in the levels. Enemies and boss characters have multiple death animations depending on what body region the player shot. Because items dropped by fallen enemies rapidly disappear, players must engage foes from close range.
The player character's health is shown as a number at the bottom of the screen. When the player is at full health, the meter reads 100, while dropping to 0 subtracts one life. Gathering "spiritual points" scattered across the levels increases the player's life count by one for every 100 points accumulated.[8] Players restore their health by picking up powerups, which can increase their health above full. Players may also gain health points by shooting deer or non-threatening wildlife.

Wrestlemania 2000 is the first game to result from THQ nabbing the WWF license. If you've seen the semi prequel, WCW NWO Revenge, you probably already know how this game ticks. Developed in Japan by folks who know wrestling, this is an extremely comprehensive pro wrestling simulation.

Over 50 WWF superstars have been stuffed into this game, and there's room for plenty more thanks to the detail rich wrestler edit features. What's more, all your favorite wrestlers have managed to retain their introductory songs and Titantron video introductions. Even the vocals are here!

For the nostalgiast, you can even break out the edit mode and recreate the immortal Hulk Hogan of yesteryear complete with his nearly trademark "I am a real American" theme song. The editing mode is comprehensive in other words. With several thousand situational moves to assign your created wrestler, and a wide variety of body types, you should be able to create almost any wrestler you can imagine.

Wrestlemania 2000 also offers a variety of play modes for the electric armchair sports entertainment athlete. In addition to the ability to play though an entire year's worth of a wrestler's career in the Road To Wrestlemania mode, you have the ability to create your own Pay Per View events, and for fun, you and your friends can face off in steel cage matches, King of the Ring tournaments, tag team matches, the Battle Royal, and even three way matches.

All the drama, all the action of the WWF is stuffed into this little black cartridge!
