Super Mario 64	Nintendo	1996	Super Mario 64, fue el videojuego que todo niño esperó con ansias el año 1996. Aún recuerdo la sorpresa que me provocó el verlo en pantalla gigante. Un videojuego sensacional, la música, los gráficos, la historia, la dinámica, sencillamente genial, y si a eso añades, la información técnica que hoy tenemos, te sorprende más aún que hayan logrado tal juego, con las características y limitaciones de la Nintendo 64. Lo jugué hasta terminarlo, al menos en 3 ocasiones. Super Mario 64 was the video game that every child looked forward to in 1996. I still remember the surprise that seeing it on a giant screen caused me. A sensational video game, the music, the graphics, the story, the dynamics, simply great, and if you add to that, the technical information that we have today, it surprises you even more that they have achieved such a game, with the characteristics and limitations of the Nintendo 64. I played it through to completion, at least 3 times.* [100]* [12]* [104]* [30]* [29]* [26]*Japanese version [32]* [27]*It's up to you to assist Mario as he restores peace at Mushroom Castle. Bowser is up to no good again -- stealing the Power Stars that shield the castle. Bob-ombs live inside the paintings decorating the castle and Bowser has invaded them. Mario will have to enter the painting world, retrieve the Power Stars and halt Bowser before he turns the Bob-ombs into a monster militia. This one-player game for the Nintendo 64 raises the bar for video game excitement. Bowser is no competition for Mario 64.Mario steps into a whole new dimension in this unforgettable launch title of the Nintendo 64. Unravel the secrets of Peach's castle, find all 120 stars and defeat Bowser in this cult classic that set the rules for all 3D action games. Although it managed to stay faithful to the spirit of the series, Super Mario 64 tried a new approach as it brought the concept of exploration into platform games. Mario gained many new moves in the process, yet remained as easy to control as ever thanks to the inclusion of an Analog stick on the Nintendo 64 controller. This innovation quickly became a standard in the industry. Super Mario 64 is often cited as one of the greatest games ever made.**Super Mario 64 was the first games for Nintendo 64. Since the company came out with the original Nintendo, with it's first game Mario Bros, it's only logical that the company would come out with a Mario Bros game for their new system. You may have noticed that everytime Nintendo came out with a new system/platform, they came out with a Mario game to go with it. Well, Mario 64 is Nintendo's N64 game. This game works good on the UltraHLE emu, if you have a decent processor and a Graphics accelerator (or just an EXTREMELY fast processor, but even then, it's still good to have a graphics accelorator). But of course, it works better on the real Nintendo 64. At least, I thought it looked better on mine, as my opinion. Super Mario 64 revolutionized 3D gaming with its expansive environments, colorful graphics, fluid play control, and myriad puzzles. Although many 3D platformers have come and gone, few have lived up to the standards set by Super Mario 64. [Spiez]
Super Mario 64 Shindou Pack Taiou Version	Nintendo	1997	Re-release in Japan that adds Rumble Pak support as well as English voices that weren't available in the original Japanese release.***Shindou means vibrations/tremors in Japanese, so my guess is that this is just this is just Mario 64 with Rumble Pack support?

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time	Nintendo	1998	"seruta no ten'setsu taimu no okarina" is the romanised Old Hylian title. [Zerothis]*Released to an eager audience in 1998, The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time became an instant smash and quickly established itself as one of the greatest games ever made. As legendary hero Link, you must journey across Hyrule, and even through time itself, to thwart the plans of Ganondorf. You'll wield weapons and gadgets, battle enormous bosses and solve brain-busting puzzles, which are among the best ever seen in the Zelda series. Ocarina of Time brilliantly adapted the 2D, top-down style of classic Zelda adventures into 3D, becoming a textbook example of game design that is still followed today. But the appeal of ‘Ocarina' lies not only in its cinematic visuals or groundbreaking combat system; it also impresses with its epic storyline, memorable characters, superbly designed dungeons and rich variety of gameplay. Quite simply, it's a masterpiece!The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time reveals the genesis of the fantasy land of Hyrule, the origin of the Triforce and the tale of the first exploits of Princess Zelda and the heroic adventurer Link. Vibrant, real-time 3-D graphics transport players into the fantasy world of Hyrule. The quest takes them through dense forests and across wind-whipped deserts. Players swim raging rivers, climb treacherous mountains, dash on horseback across rolling hills and delve into dungeons full of creatures that fight to the finish to put an end to their adventures. With immersive graphics, a sweeping story line, swashbuckling adventure, mind-bending puzzles and a touch of humor, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of Nintendo's most epic challenges ever.As the first fully three-dimensional title in the Zelda series, players must take on the role of a young boy with a grand destiny growing up in the Kokiri village. The young hero, Link, soon finds out that something is afoot when he is dispatched on an epic adventure by the Great Deku Tree. On his travels Link discovers he is destined to become the Hero of Time and save Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf. His travels take him across a vast and colourful continent as he battles through challenging dungeons - ranging from the eerie Forest Temple to the fiery caves of Dodongo Cavern. With hours of exciting gameplay this title is sure to keep even the most dedicated player busy for weeks. Unique to the Zelda series, Ocarina of Time sees players taking on both the role of child Link and his young adult form. When he begins his journey, Link is an eight year old boy in an as yet untainted Hyrule. However, when he uncovers the fabled Temple of Time and the legendary Master Sword Link is too young to take on the role of Hero of Time so is transformed into a young adult. During this time Hyrule radically changes into a darker and more dangerous place. [spoiler=Deku Shrub Hint;Close Hint]Deku shrubs are pretty timid and a variety of attacks will make them surrender. But the quickest ammo free solution is one ground pounding swing with the Megaton Hammer[/spoiler]The fifth in the Zelda series, this game takes place before all the others. The graphics are quite impressive, the story, although known to all Zelda gamers, is put in quire well, and the gameplay matches the value of any Zelda to date. A very good 3D translation for a well done game. Zelda fans will not be dissappointed with all the features this game has to offer. Although it's not quite 'Game of the Century', Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a thrilling adventure from start to finish. It has huge dungeons, hundreds of puzzles, fun boss fights, and many secrets to uncover, all enveloped in a gorgeous 3D environment. It may be cliche to say this, but Zelda 64 is easily my favorite N64 game. [Spiez]**Unofficial Italian translation: [[link:http://www.sadnescity.it/ SadNES City Translations]] [cjlee001]
