Beta Roms

Oh yeah... the N64 is the graveyard of video games...
it's very sad how much games were announced but never released or just developed to the next console generation.
There are a lot of games, which were playable on conventions but never were ripped as a rom.
What for games you like to see as a beta (unfinished, for all the n00bs) rom on your emu.
I would megahappy to see a beta rom of Resident Evil Zer0, Eternal Darkness, Dinosaur Planet, kirbys air ride [that are these Next Gen Games], Robotech, Mission Impossible, Zelda (looks to cooliscool :p), Dream (Beta Banjo Kazooie), Goldeneye and Perfect Dark [these are games, which had some cool looking features in their beta version, which were never in the released version] and now the never released games, which were looking pretty funny: 40 winks (Co-op Adventure!), cool waters (a kanu and kajak racing) mother 3 (RPG for 64DD) SIm City64 and some other games I don't remember and add in the future.
Are there some games you are very sad, that they never were released on our wonderful N64?

basically some games are in fact not dumped but was released for real N64 : i know at least one game in this case:

it's Nintama Rantarou 64 Game Gallery made by culture brain.

it's a stupid game that only very passionate collectioners could have.

Robotech is dumped.

the 64dd games are not dumped even if there is some that exists:

F-Zero X Expansion Kit
Japan Pro-Golf Tour 64
Kyojin no Doshin 1 Doshin the Giant
Kyojin no Doshin: Kaihou Sensen Chibikko Chikko
Mario Artist: Communication
Mario Artist: Paint Studio
Mario Artist: Talent Studio
Sim City 64

it would be interesting for emu author to see if their emus works with 64dd games

well for the betas games there 'll be never release for sure. it's a pity but nobody can do something about that. and in fact it would be illegal as nobody would have the original roms. So it will stay a dream of N64 fans.

I have the beta robotech, and its pretty stupid. It had a great potential, the idea of having your ship transform into a mech and semi/mech, but it wouldve really launched a fanbase if it had more land action. Similar to rogue squadron, but better and not as linear. Its just dumb to go around shooting things in a non moving wallpaper of space. I realize its just the beta but the beta showed no signs of promise whatsoever. The controls were unusual as well, big learning curve(I learned them by heart but they are still awkward anyways).

But its really interesting because I have old nintendo powers talking about robotech.

(dont even ask me where to get it, its unfairly easy to get)

I never heard about the planned release of Mother 3, but it wouldve surely been among to top n64 games(being the only conventional RPG on the 64, unlike quest and Aidyn). The story was not exactly as good as Ness's story(very unique plot), it wouldve been awesome to see him again.

And I have a game magazine from mexico that has a preview of Simcity64, and i was pretty excited about it. There was mini games and flying helicopters...

hate it when good games dont come out.

I'd so much like to play Mother3 on emu. Any1 knows if the game got any release to go on GC or any next gen console ? Sounds pretty interesting. Would be cool to get the F-ZeroX editor as a patch for the original ROM. :) my opinion... :p
