Superman 64. Never got past the rings
Whats after the rings?
I looked up a long play just now to finally find out. Apparently it's just more rings
I nearly beat it. There's some terrible awkward combat, more rings, timed rescue sequences, and even more rings. I couldn't get past this one part with random number teleporters that was timed. You had to get to the number 2000, but as far as I could tell there was no pattern or anything. You step in a portal and the number up top changes to something random, all while the timer ticks away. Honestly flying through the rings was the best part once you get a feel for the controls.
Stay with me on this one, completing Pokémon Stadium 2 with rental pokemon, including Round 2
Oh man, currently stuck on ultra ball, poke cup. Made it to the final battle and lost.
I'd say Glover is up there
Nagano Winter Olympics '98
Bro the ski long jump shit, what in the actual fuck are those mechanics
Core rage unlocked 😂
Rogue Squadron. Two levels:
Escape from Fest
Raid on Sullust
Castlevania 64 remember that one being very challenging
Corker of a game. I still get castle centre flashbacks of having to carry the nitro between 2 locations without jumping or taking any hits.
I think I was 9 or 10 and this took me ages to do.
The only 2 n64 games I've played that I still can't beat as an adult are glover and goemons great adventure And me and my brother have put some WORK into them. So I'm throwing my vote for those 2
Goemon we think we can conquer if we really put our heads down but glover is just a nightmare. I'm only ok world 4 and we've been stuck for years.
Honorable mention: the Turok games. Even on normal, they're very challenging. And the levels are just overwhelmingly huge, even by today's standards.
Turok 2: seeds of evil had massive levels. Half of the problem was getting lost!
Bomberman 64 I remember being pretty challenging. Body Harvest is a good one, though. I don’t think I got past the jungle level.
Star wars shadows of the empire. One of the most infuriating gaming experiences. Turok 2 without cheats or guides is pretty hard too.
My favorite game of all time is SOTE. I watched my big brother play it growing up. He could beat every level on jedi difficulty. But on hard difficulty, he could never beat the speeder bike gang level
Shadowman 64 !!!!
Turok 2 is some ridiculous shit
A lot of the Rare games, particularly 100%, were tough as nails. Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark going for 00 and all cheats. I imagine Banjo Tooie without a guide would have been even more of an ordeal than I already found it.
Outside of those, one that I got nowhere near full completion was Iggy's Reckin Balls, that got savage towards the top end and was so technical. Glover I 100%'d as a kid (brag), I remember it as fiddly but not the nightmare many on here would say. ISS 98 on world class level was hard, but there were cheese strats.
I feel like a lot of N64 games respected the grind, casual players could get through most titles, but there was enough content and challenge for kids who could put the hours in.
Hey you Pikachu!
Forsaken is hard as nails, disorienting, frustrating, and I get motion sickness :P
Blast corps was the hardest game I beat 100%
Rainbow Six (non-recruit) is up there imo
Master mode F-ZERO X was always my white whale
Mario Golf is damn hard
Somehow beat Metal Mario with Luigi once upon a time!
mortal kombat mythologies.
Quest 64 anyone? Maybe it was just me but I don’t remember ever getting passed the desert area despite multiple play-through attempts… specifically I couldn’t find the exit from that area. 😅
Command and Conquer with that last mission
It's easily Blast Corps. Very few people have the skill, patience and insanity required to obtain every platinum medal
Turok 2
Maybe I’m bad at video games but the Zelda’s seem like they would be very difficult without a guide
