The N64 Encyclopedia - Every Game Released for the Nintendo 64 written by
Chris Scullion and published by White Owl Books - £30 - Hardback - Pages 256
The fourth book in Chris Scullion’s critically acclaimed series of video game encyclopedias,
The N64 Encyclopedia is dedicated to the Nintendo 64, one of the most well-loved games
consoles ever released. Although the Nintendo 64 didn’t sell as well as some of Nintendo’s
other systems, and although it struggled in the shadow of the bold newcomer that was the
Sony PlayStation, everyone who owned an N64 was in love with it and the four-player
multiplayer it provided as standard. Despite its relatively small library, the Nintendo 64 had
a healthy number of groundbreaking titles that would revolutionise the way we played video
games. The likes of Super Mario 64, GoldenEye 007, Mario Kart 64 and The Legend of
Zelda: Ocarina of Time remain iconic in the eyes of video game fans 25 years down the line.
This book naturally contains those games, but it also contains every other game released for
the system, no matter how obscure. It also covers every game released in Japan, including
those for the ill-fated Nintendo 64DD add-on which never left the country. With over 400
games covered, screenshots for every title and a light-hearted writing style designed to make
reading it a fun experience, the N64 Encyclopedia is the definitive guide to a truly
revolutionary gaming system.
I have to say that this book is called an N64 Encyclopedia and to be honest it has to be.
I remember my parents moaning at me as a teenager for spending too much time on
my games consoles, so I thought I knew quite a bit about games, particularly the N64.
But the author Chris Scullion has an immense and comprehensive knowledge here,
and what’s more, the book is also packed with many hints, tips and facts. This book
is a dream for any fan of the N64 and it seems so many games made for the console.
This book has so much information about the games and together it’s supported by
so many pictures, graphics and screenshots. It’s a great book for gaming fans, who
will love this.
