N64 Magazine Issue 36

Christmas 1999
Release Date: 29 Nov 1999
Pages: 132
Editor: Tim Weaver

Introduction

22 was the magic number for issue 36, and 22 games reviewed was by far an all time record for the N64 magazine. It wasn't just quantity either, as there were no fewer than 6 Star game awards handed out. Mind you, Carmageddon 64 was also reviewed, scoring a pitiful 8%.

Donkey Kong 64 was the biggest of the 22, and scored an excellent 93%. Smash Bros was also finally launched in the UK, and also gathered a good score of 90%. Resident Evil 2, WWF Wrestlemania, Rocket and Worms Armageddon were the other Star games of the month, so it was well and truely N64's best Christmas!

Unsurprisingly, reviews took up most of the page space in this issue, although there was an excellent guide to Jet force Gemini, plus the first of many “cartwarming Christmas tales”, which combined old saucy novels with videogame characters
