How Many Nintendo 64 Games Can You Purchase On Steam?

10 Mar, 2026

So, I was browsing my Steam library, as one does, deciding what to play out of my way too many games that I own, when my eyes fell upon “Doom 64”. How funny is that, that’s just a Nintendo 64 game, even still titled with the ‘64’ in it’s name.

Of course, instead of booting up Doom 64 and enjoying the game that I spent money on, I instead got to thinking, exactly how many Nintendo 64 games can you buy on Steam? The Nintendo 64 kind of sits in an odd place, there are plenty of ways to play NES, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis games on Steam. Games from those consoles are easy to emulate and titles from popular series are often put into collections such as the Mega Man Legacy Collection. However, this doesn't really happen with Nintendo 64 games, in part due to the fact that the Nintendo 64 is notoriously difficult to emulate. This may be (part of) why, for example, the Castlevania games on N64 have never appeared in a collection despite many other titles being reissued in the various collections Konami has put out over the years. The Doom 64 version on Steam is not emulated, by the way, but rather rebuilt by Nightdive Studios based on a reverse engineered hobby project by Samuel Villarreal. The Nintendo 64 also has a comparatively really small library, clocking in at 388 titles officially launched for the system across all regions.

What's far more likely is that a game released on PCs around the same time it came out on N64, which provides an easy path for a game to be an ‘N64 game’ while appearing on Steam, even if only by technicality. A good example of this is Daikatana. You might say, “Hey, that’s cheating, the version of Daikatana on Steam is not the Nintendo 64 version!” and I mean, that is fair, but also… do you want the N64 version of Daikatana on Steam? Plus, if we didn't count those, the number of "true N64 games" on Steam would be, well, I'll save that for the end, you'll see. Either way, we're working with so few games that I might as well count what I can.

Let's begin

Asteroids Hyper 64

I figured I would start by just opening up the Wikipedia page and checking every game to see what games also popped up on Steam. Of course the first title I hit that could possibly be a “Nintendo 64 game on Steam” is an edge case. It’s Asteroids Hyper 64, a version of Asteroids, of which there are, uhhh… at least one official version of Atari Asteroids on Steam. Looking at gameplay footage here, it's just Asteroids, no frills aside from some fancy graphics. Does that really count? I don't know, I've gone back and forth as to whether or not I want to include it but, you know what? We need as many wins as we're gonna get here, so, sure. Asteroids 64 is a game that you can play a version of on Steam.

Battlezone: Rise of the Dogs

“Battlezone: Rise of the Dogs” a Nintendo 64 port of the 1998 PC game “Battlezone”. It’s on Steam, under the title Battlezone 98 Redux! Apparently the Nintendo 64 version features an exclusive campaign that doesn’t appear to be in the original or the Steam re-release, but, you know, it still counts!

Bust-A-Move 2 Arcade Edition

Bust-A-Move 3

Perhaps better known as Puzzle Bobble 2, "Bust-A-Move 2 Arcade Edition" was ported onto Nintendo 64 nearly 3 years after it originally debuted in arcades. You can find what appears to be an emulated version of the Saturn version on Steam under the lengthy title Puzzle Bobble™2X/BUST-A-MOVE™2 Arcade Edition & Puzzle Bobble™3/BUST-A-MOVE™3 S-Tribute

Oh yeah that collection I just linked also includes a version of Bust-A-Move 3 (Puzzle Bobble 3).

Carmageddon 64

Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now was released as Carmageddon 64 on the N64. It was notoriously censored and replaced the human pedestrians with zombies so the game wouldn't have blood in it. You don't get to see that version of the game on Steam, but weirdly, the new reboot of the Carmageddon series, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift takes on after the N64 version in bringing back zombies over pedestrians.

Command & Conquer

Released on Steam as Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection. Sorry I don't have much to say about this one, I've never played it.

Daikatana

As mentioned above, Daikatana is the notorious FPS game from John Romero. It also appeared on N64, but I don't think anyone would recommend that version. There's an unofficial 1.3 patch by fans for the PC version that overhauls a lot of the game, I'm planning on trying that out some day.

Dark Rift

Dark Rift is a game I'd never heard of prior to this experiment. It appears to be a 3D fighting game. It had a Windows port back in the day which I assume is how it landed on Steam.

Doom 64

Yup. Again, props to Nightdive for an amazing remaster of the game.

Duke Nukem 64

Duke Nukem 64 is port of Duke Nukem 3D, which you can find as Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour on Steam.

Earthworm Jim 3D

This one was a surprise to me, but there it is. There was a PC port back in the day.

Extreme-G 2

You might ask, where's Extreme G 1, which also appeared on N64? Well, Extreme-G 2 had a PC version, which this is almost certainly based on, but the original is N64 only.

Fighting Force

In Fighting Force Collection, two PlayStation®1 classics return! So says the Steam page for this one. I guess nobody really cares about the N64 port of Fighting Force, huh.

Forsaken

On Steam as Forsaken Remastered, another Nightdive remaster.

Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko

Gex 64: Enter the Gecko

All the Gex games were re-released in the Gex Trilogy collection. It appears that the versions of Gex 2 (Gex 64) and Gex 3 are based on the Playstation versions and not the Nintendo 64 versions.

Glover

Well here is Glover, another actual true N64 game on Steam! So much so that apparently an N64 ROM is actually in the files and you can legally emulate the game if you purchase it that way. Seems the Steam port is pretty bad, unfortunately.

Hexen

You can get Hexen as part of Heretic + Hexen on Steam, yet another Nightdive venture. They'll be on this list quite a few more times.

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine

This was a PC game first, so it's not that surprising it could appear on Steam.

Mortal Kombat 4

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Mortal Kombat Trilogy

A ton of Mortal Kombat games got re-released in the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. Some of them even have multiple versions of the same game for you to chose from! So how many of those offer the N64 version? Oh, none. Ah well.

Namco Museum 64

This is a bit of an odd one, to the point I almost didn't include it. Steam has NAMCO MUSEUM ARCHIVES Vol 1 and NAMCO MUSEUM ARCHIVES Vol 2 and between the two they cover most of the titles that appear in Namco Museum 64, with the exceptions being Ms Pacman (likely due to the legal issues surrounding that game) and Pole Position (dunno).

Quake 64

It's (mostly) just Quake.

Quake II

It's just Quake II. EDIT: a reader (@shadowhog.bsky.social) pointed out that Quake II actually has a pretty different campaign on Nintendo 64 compared to the PC original. Of course, Nightdive's remaster went the extra mile and includes Quake II 64 as a bonus.

Re-Volt

Re-Volt is an RC car racing game that appeared on many platforms. Naturally the Steam version is based on the PC port

Shadow Man

On Steam as Shadow Man Remastered and, oh look, it's Nightdive yet again!

Space Invaders

It’s Space Invaders, and Space Invaders Extreme is on Steam. This is another one that feels like cheating to include but, I mean, if I included Asteroids then I gotta include this one, I guess.

Starshot: Space Circus Fever

This is another game I'd never heard of before. Like several others mentioned prior, it's likely only on Steam thanks to there having been a PC port back in the day.

Star Wars Episode I: Racer

Now this is pod racing! Looks like yet more PC ports.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron

Ditto above.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

And also ditto above.

Tetris 64

sighs deeply I kinda put myself in a hole in this one. I was double checking my work and I realized I'd passed this one. Since I included Space Invaders and Asteroids 64, I guess I gotta include this one because it's Tetris, and there are many ways to play Tetris on Steam.

Turok

It's Nightdive again! Nightdive brought Turok to modern platforms starting in 2015, though interestingly Steam says the release date is November 30th, 1997. Which is close, but not quite, the release date Wikipedia has for the original Windows version in North America. The N64 release date is months prior, in March.

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

Similar to the previous entry, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is listed on Steam under it's original release date, but interestingly, December 10th, 1998 is the release date of the game on N64, not Windows, which happened next Feburary.

Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion

Released as Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered, this has 'Remastered' in the title unlike the previous three. It also only ever came out on N64 back in the day, so the remaster is another true N64 port!

Worms Armageddon

Rounding out the list with a classic, Worms Armageddon is a PC original and one of, if not the best game in the Worms series, and is one I've played since a child. I'd love to give a proper shot of the N64 version someday, as it has an entirely different soundtrack and I'm curious to see what else might be different.

Honorable Mentions

These won't officially count as part of my final number, but I wanted to mention them here anyway: Rayman 2 has a wonderful version on GOG that SHOULD be on Steam but isn't for some reason. Resident Evil 2 has it's remake on Steam¹, but I do not count remakes as the same game as the original. Similarly, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1/2/3 also have remakes, but again, I count those as different games from the original.

Anyway, that's it, that's the end of the list. If you've been counting, that's 37 games in total, roughly 10% of the N64's total library. Some titles I put on here are debatable, and it's also certainly possible that I missed a few, my methodology wasn't exactly air tight. If you were to only count true ports of games straight from N64, then that list drops down to just 3 4 whole games: Doom 64, Glover, Quake II 64, and Turok 3. You could possibly make an argument for some of the other games being true N64 ports, like Turok 1 and 2, and a few others which came out on N64 first and later to PC, even if the Steam version is based on that PC version, but it's not going to make a huge difference.

It's not that no N64 games are available nowadays, but it's a little sad how little love games on the console seem to get particularly in terms of PC re-releases. Going into this I could've sworn that Rare Replay was on Steam, for example, but it isn't, meaning that there is no (official) way to play any of Rare's N64 games on PC. You'd think it'd be an easy win for Microsoft, but, I guess they tend not to take those.

Looking at all of this, I'm reminded of that study by the Video Game History foundation saying that 87% of of classic games in the United States are out of print. Given the Nintendo 64's already small library, it's situation is probably far better than most consoles. Sure, Steam may only somewhere in the ballpark of 3-37 games, but Nintendo has been consistently offering a big selection of their titles on consoles since the Wii (and even some on Gamecube), and Rare's titles are offered on Xbox via Rare Replay. Overall I wouldn't be surprised if the N64 fares much better than most consoles for titles that appeared on the system having reissues. Though, if you're splitting hairs, is it a big loss that we'll probably never see reissues, say, the unique N64 versions of Gex 2 and 3, or the Mortal Kombat games, or Daikatana, or Carmageddon 64?

Eh, probably not. Just get the games running in an emulator, or load them up on your non-warcrime funded FPGA console of choice if you really want to check them out. Or play some on your Dreamcast if you're a real sicko.
