Battle 64

Last one standing.

A battle royale for the Nintendo 64. Drop onto an island, loot the buildings, stay inside the shrinking zone and try to be the last one standing.

About Battle 64

You jump from a plane over the island, search the buildings for guns, vests, bandages and grenades, and try to stay inside the zone as it shrinks. The last fighter or team standing wins.

On the N64 it supports one to four players in split screen, and the computer-controlled fighters loot, shoot, throw grenades, drive jeeps and pick up their friends when they go down. The web version also lets you play online with up to three friends.

  • An island with buildings, roads, a river and a jeep you can drive
  • Free for all matches, or 2 v 2 with computer team-mates
  • Weapons ranging from a slap to a scoped rifle, plus grenades, mines and a colander
  • A shrinking zone, a compass, a map and the drop from the plane
  • Computer fighters at three skill levels
  • Split screen for up to four players, or online with friends in the browser
