I'd say more it's PS1 games

low draw distance and lots of fog to hide that fact. and sparse level detail. N64 games could have very haunting, spartan atmospheres even with bright color palettes.

First thing I thought of. Just look at this shit.

Glover was a game where it seemed like everyone had it but I never knew anyone that actually liked it.
Grayson Barnes
The music certainly helped make things more unsettling.
Gavin Robinson
I remember renting it once and it creeped me out bad enough to not rent it again.
Jonathan Howard
I owned it and beat it a couple times. I really loved the soundtrack it had.

Probably the most unsettling game on n64. Every part of the game feels wrong on a primal level. You feel like you shouldn't be there, and the game knows it too. It's very eerie and uncanny even during the 'cheerful' sections.

I loved it but it was way too hard for me as a kid. tried to play it as an adult and didn't find it fun enough to keep playing

Eerie fog
Fat, sometimes barren worlds
Early 3D leaving more to the imagination

Other N64 games i find very unsettling for some reason are Jet Force Gemini, Gex: Enter The Gecko and the fucking Rugrats board game
Caleb Adams
Its okay
The gimmick is actually pretty cool and the ceiling for sick skill based platforming is high.
The levels can be bland though

Doesn't help that the snow wookie enemies look like zombies.

I think part of the problem is learning how 3D graphics are made kind of ruined the magic for me. I literally had no idea how any of this shit worked, and in the early days you'd get this baffling glitches and bugs that would get you a peak behind the curtain. I remember reading about how if you weren't careful in GTAIII, you could fall out of the world and end up in the "blue hell." I didn't even have a picture or a video, there was just a warning to be careful that your character doesn't slip through the cracks and fall into hell.
Early 3D games also did have this odd sensation of being infinite. The world was surrounded by fog, or darkness, or something and you honestly didn't know where the world of the game began and ended. It's so weird to see how truly tiny these maps were, looking back.
I'm playing Amid Evil right now and it's one of the few games I've played recently to give me these vibes. I wish more games would dick ride early 3D half as much as they did fucking SNES sprites.

This game is mostly comfy, until it needs to be very very creepy.
Scared the shit out of me at 7

This. I remember having no idea how games worked and thought I could find tons more levels/areas in Mario 64 to explore if I could just get past the boundaries.

This game definitely gave me unsettling vibes in youth. This is a thread talking of the visual aspect of the limited N64 tech, but the compression of audio from this game is a humongous part of the atmosphere.
Despite clunk, it's still one of my favorites.

The controller not being designed for actual humans.

Playing Mario Kart 64 by yourself in the time trials was top creepy if you turned off the music. You feel like you're the only thing alive in that entire area but it feels like someone is watching you, sometimes it's an inanimate object like a train or the smiling snow men. So you want to keep a low profile but your engine is making all this noise so whatever else is there certainly can hear you.

>he can’t pick up a 64 controller right this second and feel comfortable. Lmao fag
