Right now is a good time to be a gamer looking for a little nostalgia in their life. From remakes of old games, to demakes of new ones that make them look retro, to modders creating a PC port of Ocarina of Time, this modern gaming era is awash with releases that turn the clocks back a few years or even decades. With the classic Nintendo 64 The Legend of Zelda game being reverse-engineered, it seems that there are plenty of other people out there who are taking it upon themselves to actualize unofficial PC versions of classic releases.

According to a recent report from VGC, there are more than 20 Nintendo 64 games that modders are working to bring to PC. Currently, a host of retro titles are being worked on, including a host of well-known games from this bygone era. Such games include Bomberman 64, Mario Party 3, Pokémon Stadium, Paper Mario, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Turok 3, and Perfect Dark, which, for those who don't know, is the spiritual successor to Rare's highly-praised GoldenEye 64.

As a result, the projects could take a long time, but it looks as though some of them are coming along well, with Perfect Dark said to be just under 70% done.
