Dr. Mario 64 is a truly exceptional video game. I've played the original before as a child and, like everything else Nintendo, I loved it. I especially like this version for Nintendo64 because it allows four players; this is a great thing because it offers the chance to engage more people. I personally play the game with others more than I do alone, but I have played the "story mode" as well as against the computer and enjoy them equally both for practice and pleasure. The game itself is great because it is very hands-on and requires both attention and skill. It is very quick paced and fun for everyone to play anywhere from one to one hundred rounds!
I don't have this particular one up and running because I didn't get my controller yet, but I love playing this game. My friend has one that she has let me play in the past. It's soothing to me because the game is simple and fun at the same time. It's a little like tetris, because you have to stack things in the right order to make them disappear. One of my favorite parts is seeing the little viruses die. They are so cute. You don't have to be as coordinated to play this one either - I can never manage to jump or shoot in those other games. This game is good for the whole family - my kids helped me with it years ago.
Game came in good condition and worked great. Everything as I remembered.

I bought this product because one day I had an incredible urge to play Dr. Mario, but, alas! my original Dr. Mario game was no where to be found and probably lost to the depths of wherever random objects are lost to when you move. My Nintendo 64 is a bit more reliable than my good ol' original NES system, so I decided to upgrade on the game. It's actually a pretty boring game if you play it by yourself (even though Nintendo invented a storyline for it) unless you're into that sort of thing, but when you play it with others, it's a lot of fun. My dad and I play against each other for hours (as catchy and enjoyable as the game music is, it starts to wear on you after a while. I suggest turning down the volume and jamming to some other type of music). Try playing Speed Mario sometime...set the virus level to 0...it gets pretty crazy.Read full review
I loved Dr. Mario for the Nintendo, so was thrilled to pick it up for the N64. The graphics are great, it has the same old music from the first game and also a couple new ones. It's nice to have the story mode, the vs friends mode, and the vs computer. However, my biggest compliant is that it forces me to use the directional pad and not the stick. My hands are smaller, and using the directional pad on the N64 controller is difficult for me. So unless there's a setting I'm missing, that's the only thing that bumps this down.
