Star Fox 64 is an on-rails space-combat shooter developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. Leading the Star Fox squadron, Fox McCloud pilots the Arwing (and a tank and submarine) through branching missions across the Lylat system, blasting enemies and bosses to stop Andross. It introduced the Rumble Pak, voice-acted radio chatter, branching paths, and a four-player versus mode.
