Never even gave the DC system a thought on the Pi.

Dunno :)

@jonnykesh Goldeneye 007 would like a word with you

@lilbud during the N64s heyday I crushed my friends playing GoldenEye. Mainly because I used the c buttons to strafe. You'd think they'd would have wised up to this but I don't think they ever did.

On topic:

Episode 1 racer for Dreamcast is fun and runs well on the pi

The road rash series is also a blast

Doesnt run on retropie but Ridge Racer 2 on PSP is an amazing game that combines all the best of the previous 5 ridge racer games with a really awesome drifting mechanic, great sound track and generally awesome arcade racing gameplay! I emulate it on my mac when i need my fix, haha.

@quicksilver I used to pick Oddjob. My friends didn't understand why until they got too close to me and couldn't see me anymore because I was so short. Loved that guy. We also used to play Proximity Mines and Remote Mines only and those were a blast to come up with creative strategies.

@thedatacereal haha we had a standing rule "no oddjob". And anyone that picked jaws was a chump.

On topic : I have to second Mario Kart 64. The multiplayer is one of the best in my opinion.

KN4THX

@quicksilver Haha. We wound up with that rule eventually once I got better.

Good choices! I forgot about Wave Race and have yet to play Uniracers.

@thelostsoul as a bonus waverace 64 works great on my overclocked pi3 using the mupen64plus-rice emulator/plugin (high res runs well too).

thelostsoul

@quicksilver Yes, on mine too. I don't know the settings currently. But I played on easy, normal, hard and reverse all of them.
