i've been thinking, especially after playing quite a few relatively long games recently, that i'd really like to know what games i own that are really short (say under 5 hours, or maybe under 10 at most). specifically i'm looking at N64 right now and can only think of Pokemon Snap off the top of my head (i think that was about 2-4 hours for 100%). i'd like to compile a list of short games and try beating as many as i can, does anyone know of any other good choices like that for N64?

There are some good racers and fighters that shouldnt take long to beat. Beetle Adventure Racing, 1080 Snowboarding, Cruisin anything, Rush, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat (if I remember correctly Sub-Zero Mythologies is pretty short too), Clay Fighter.

And Iggy's Wrecking Balls. The Namco game, Asteroids and Star Soldier I would assume arent too long either

Resident Evil 2 and Nightmare Creatures should be in the 8 hour range. I can't imagine Vigilante 8 or Carmageddon being super long either. And I hear you can speed run Ocarina of Time in around 20 minutes Wink

good suggestions! i know i can also beat super mario 64 in about 3 hours myself, but i was thinking more of first times with games than a speed run Wink

some of those i guess it depends on what i would consider "beaten", because i know some don't really have a set ending but i guess in terms of the racing games it could be to unlock all the tracks and get 1st place once on each.

I love playing through Snap in a single playthrough; I usually do that at least once a year.

Pokémon Puzzle League can be "beaten" very quickly, except for the final level on the hardest difficulty.

I remember Yoshi's Story being a very short game as a child.

Star Fox 64 is also beatable in under an hour, but I'm certain you've played it before.

Wave Race is also a pretty quick completion if memory serves.

i've beaten Star Fox 64, Yoshi's Story (though not in years, would be worth replaying), and Snap. i haven't played much of wave race or puzzle league though so those might be worth a shot.

A little late to the party with suggestions, but if you like the concept of episodic game those are really short. I'd recommend Kentucky Route Zero or The Wolf Among Us.

You mean predictable? Or maybe pretentious?

I meant you didn't read the original post. He is just looking for N64 games specifically. Or did I miss the N64 Wolf Amoung Us port?
