This game set a milestone for video games and hip-hop. No other game than Def Jam Fight for NY represents hip-hop better than this video game gem. It's the first in the series and one of my favorites because it's the ONLY one in the series that features the legendary DMX R.I.P. This masterpiece must be preserved. Otherwise we will lose one of the best fighting games of all time, including one of the best rapper.
one of the very few games that all of my brothers, cousins, friends and I would play and everyone had a great time. we still talk about the battles we had 20 years later. brining this game back would allow us to make new memories and rekindle old rivalries and allow our kids to experience one of the most unique fighting games for our generation. Also the music tracks were among the best for the time. And still hold up to this day.

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Neon Genesis EvangelionThis game is an interactive adaptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion for N64. Called Shinseki Evangelion in Japan, the Gainax-produced anime series originally aired from October '95 to March '96 and soon spawned a feature movie release in '97. The N64 game starts in the year 2015, 15 years after Second Impact. The Angels have returned and suddenly attack Tokyo-3. Using so-called "terror-fields" that cannot be penetrated by ordinary weapons, the Angels are taking on every human force sent out to oppose them. That's where you come in. As the pilot of the NERV-designed Evangelions, Shinji Ikari, you take your giant humanoid combat mech into battle with the Angels. Gameplay can best be described as interactive anime, as it relies heavily on timed button presses.
