The first N64 role-playing game released in North America, and a modest one by Next Generation's reckoning.
Quest 64 was developed by Imagineer. THQ published it in North America in June 1998, Konami released it in Europe as Holy Magic Century in September 1998, and Imagineer released it in Japan in July 1999. It was the first role-playing game on the system in North America, and its spells are cast through the four C buttons, each tied to an element: wind, earth, water and fire.
Next Generation's July 1998 review said it might quench younger players' thirst for RPGs but would disappoint everyone else with a cookie-cutter plot and no character development, even as it showed the cartridge format could carry the genre.
How it was made
Developed by Imagineer; published by THQ in North America, Konami in Europe and Imagineer in Japan.

“In the end. Quest 64 proves the cartridge-based N64 can be a viable format for RPGs. However, while graphics and sound go a long way, the need for well-told stories and characters you care about has never been more apparent.”
Next Generation rated games from one star ("Bad: crucially flawed in design or application") to five ("Revolutionary"); three stars meant "Good: a solid and competitive example of an established game style." Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Nintendo 64 version.
Before you buy
The US cartridge sits above the library median when loose, and a sealed copy is priced far above used ones. PAL complete copies cost less than US ones, while Japanese copies cost somewhat more. The fake risk is low. Budget for a Controller Pak, because the game saves there and not to the cartridge.
