Neon Genesis Evangelion is a video game released for the Nintendo 64 video game console; it was based on the anime series of the same name and the related full feature animated film The End of Evangelion, which was released subsequently to the anime series. The video game was only released in Japan. The game plays through most of the major battles from both the Evangelion series and End of Evangelion film, except for the battles with Gaghiel, Matarael, Iruel, Leliel and Armisael. Half of the levels are side-scrolling, 3D fighting levels, with the player controlling an Eva, while the other half involve their own styles of play. The game has 13 missions, each focusing on one of the major enemies of the series. Mission 1: Sachiel Mission 2: Shamshel Mission 3: Ramiel Mission 4: Jet Alone Mission 5: Israphel Mission 6: Sandalphon Mission 7: Sahaquiel Mission 8: Bardiel Mission 9: Zeruel Mission 10: Arael Mission 11: Tabris Mission 12: Military Forces/MP Evas Mission 13: MP Evas
There are two components for playing a n64 Neon Genesis Evangelion game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the n64 OS and software.
The second component is the Neon Genesis Evangelion game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Mupen – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Mupen, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the mupen64.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Neon Genesis Evangelion. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Mupen and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
