Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt is an interactive board video game developed by Realtime Associates for the Nintendo 64. It was originally shown at THQ's booth in 1999 and was published that same year. The game is based on the animated television series Rugrats which aired on Nickelodeon from 1991 until 2004. It features the original voices from the Rugrats cast and borrows its concept from Nintendo's Mario Party franchise. The game features three game boards. Angelica's Temple of Gloom which has an Aztec setting, Pirate Treasure Hunt where the babies scuba dive under water to find hidden treasure near a sunken ship, and Reptar Rally which is the only stage that changes the babies into dinosaurs. Reviews were critically mixed to negative, receiving an aggregated score of 52.67% from GameRankings.
There are two components for playing a n64 Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the n64 OS and software.
The second component is the Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt 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 Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt. 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.
