Thanks for another great video. This series is just excellent thanks man

[@lady1kaka]

Congrats to Sponsorship ❤️ and thank god it is Not Nord VPN or RAID 😂

[@jesipohl6717]

i absolutely loved this game when i was growing up.

[@Mitch3D]

Looks like a zombie decent game. Is $29.99 the sales price? That's what it's listed on Steam.

[@terig5584]

I trust Thab to be selective enough with his sponsors. I don’t remember who but I saw someone this week try and promote that Skull and Bones game which is getting critically obliterated, and thought that was a little embarrassing.

[@toddalexander1903]

I'm eating a 20 pack of tacos from Taco Bell. And I mean all of them.

Cmon man...

[@bradjones9784]

This is my journey to getting explosive diarrhea.

[@killergee21]

I did just eat door dash McDonald breakfast it was glorious

[@zch7491]

Comment envy 😅

[@BKay121]

The twist is the next bowel movement is randomly selected so I have no idea when I'll have to shit. This is my journey to getting explosive diarrhea

[@Pershath08]

I definitely get the feeling those cheats at the end were some kind of dev tools to help them model the game. Lower graphics, partially invisible tracks. Even the ‘bonus track’ looks like it was a demo track for testing and they just kept it in lol

[@DavidMartinez-bv6zu]

This was my game! Spent so many hours and I 100% the game multiple times. It was so addictive and the music puts you in a party mode. A lot of nostalgia.

[@tradwalls9218]

It’s also worth mentioning if your shield is empty, the walls immediately drop your speed to nearly zero, as do all damage sources.

[@Mctappits]

My uncle was a developer on this game, he was one of the world moddelers. The track with no barriers was suppsoed to have them but was overwritten by an older versoion of the track before the barriers were added. However it wasn't caught before release and as there was no way to patch it after release it stayed that way. I remember playing this as a kid and trying to build up loads of qualifying points as I'd usually come last on that track, however with enough points you can still scrape by.

[@seldom_bucket]

man the lore to this game actually goes pretty hard.

[@Timmothy_plays]

I love how the marble race in the end makes it exciting to see what the next game will be!

[@insanejlane]

I was so hyped for Rainbow Six Siege when it was leading the race, I play the current version on PS5

[@jhenes82]

I played the hell out of this game back in the day, and I think a big part of that was the banger of a soundtrack. Even to this day, I'll sometimes put on the Extreme-G soundtrack on in the background while I work.

[@xersys]

You can boost so fast in this game that the screen inverts. It's amazing.

[@RoyStorey]

the 'fergus' code references Fergus McGovern, the founder of Probe Entertainment, who developed this game. the code was originally on the genesis version of Mortal Kombat II, which they helped port

[@alexmacdougall5700]

Extreme g3 for the GameCube was so good. One of my favourite racing games. Super tight level design. Banger soundtrack. And driving just feels so fluid.

[@cmbaz1140]

There was a third one? Extreme G 2 is ma favorite...now i have to try the third one...

[@cmbaz1140]

@@alexmacdougall5700 ha ha ha...thanks

[@kasuraga]

Extreme G and the later PS2 title XGRA are awesome. XGRA has some pretty impressive sense of speed and when you go in areas with no atmosphere everything goes dead silent except the sound of your driver breathing, etc

[@rhysm.5915]

Cool to see so many people remember this one. I too played many hours and used to CRUSH my nephews who weren't really old enough to be good at games yet. 😂

[@Excoded]

I did the same and with just one hand!!! (you steer with the stick and accelerate with z, so really nothing to boast about)

[@M1XART]

One of the early exclusives for N64. This is actually very good series with lots of cult fanbase even these days. Shame that there has been only 3 sequels, really.

[@aaronkemp7789]

"Roller" turns this game into a marble race.

[@DarkKen87]

"That was quick" That's the XG series in a nutshell!

[@pebble943]

Your videos are a bright spot in my weeks. This video was a particular blast of nostalgia as I remember getting it as a block bluster rental once and could never remember the name.

[@Klonkus]

The marble run is probably my favorite way to decide the next game

[@clutchyfinger]

Man this game is faster paced than I remember. I grew up with this game and Re-volt, along with F-zero of course. I guess I can thank these devs for my love of tough racing games

[@StarFoxZX315]

I'd say the real challenge is beating this game on extreme, getting all the extra points for the fastest lap on every race while palying with Jolt. Man, that bike SUCKS! It got decent handling, but that's all it got... Maybe the weapon. Excel is far better than pulse or laser (and that's why I think Roach is better than Neon). The soundtrack is top notch. Probably one of my favorites in every game I've played.

[@igorndrapple1330]

Thanks for the vid :) I watched the custom robo vods, was a nice game and thab's voice acting really complements it And having a fan translation was huge

[@XpRnz]

Absolute blast this game, but i definitely understand the frustration.. It's also often too fast to be playable while boosting, in the Gamecube version the tracks are much more ' elongated ' which supported the insane speeds alot more. But the N64 just wasn't capable of stuff like that, still a blast though!

[@EduFirenze]

I rented this game so much as a kid my parents bought me a copy. One of my favorite 64 games.

[@BenBlackEquinoxEngelhard]

One of my top ten N64 games ever! This game is awesome!

[@joshbimthedoctor]

I got Extreme G and Star Wars Rogue Squadron with my N64 for christmas. This one is very nostalgic for me

[@Autumnal_willow]

After watching your vods for these, I feel so much more validated for getting frustrated with games 😂

[@boxxwiition2928]

About time, couldn't wait for these games

[@wieldylattice3015]

If you enjoyed this you might enjoy Rollcage Stage 2 (not an N64 game but I’m here anyway) It’s got all the chaos and nonsense and it even lets your car drive when flipped upside down. It’s very punishing about hitting walls wrong but the control I’d say is a lot more precise so it works

[@Drew_D]

17:33 Ferguson McGovern, Rest in peace.

[@devinand1fosho]

You can actually r1 to slide so you can make turns at high speeds. And these bikes are remote controlled while the sequel has drivers.

[@alanhazlie]

That jump in the overall timer between the two segments is huge, though I’m assuming 400hrs of that was due to the horse game.

[@PurplyBubbly]

These videos are a highlight and something to look forward to on Friday (and now sometimes Tuesday!)

[@Fusiondax1]

Closest thing to a boulder racing game that I know is the "Rock of Ages" franchise. Look it up, it's very creative.

[@EdinMike]

Sadly I had F-zero x and Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing. I did not have much more room for another racer !

[@ternel]

You should see if you can't find a way to try this one. The sense of speed is kinda similar to pod racer

[@KruelAidMan]

There's dozens of racing games on the 64, you had plenty of room!

[@Atom-E.B.E.]

This is one of my hallmark 64 games, glad to see the love finally - it wasn't that popular

[@bananieldiamonds1921]

i like this game. it was a budget game back in the day and the sequel is also good. i think it is better than wipeout

[@markransom9198]

and yes, the marbles edition to the videos is revolutionary.. I'm all for it

[@MLDrummer90]

I know I’m 3 weeks late to comment here but I really liked the struggle clips you included in this one, it was very entertaining

[@PiggyWiggy64]

Finally, the game we have all really been waiting for

[@wildmant7691]

I love the animations for selecting the next game.

[@ericcook2423]

Today we are blessed my brothers.

[@dougbabb1285]

Yoooo I'm so psyched for Custom Robo

[@eternity9099]

The Ramen eating rhythm game in Wanted Dead is so difficult to get perfect. (Unfortunately if you want to Platinum the game you need to)

[@mikemckenzie3175]

The soundtrack in this game is so awesome. So many bangers

[@thomasgold4449]

this was one that I always wanted to rent from blockbuster but never actually did

[@ianswift3521]

i rented it for you

[@PyakuKem]

Spent hours with my cousins and siblings doing the battle mode!

[@davemobil]

Gonna be interesting to see how hard you find f-zero x 😂 that game is brutal

[@idontwantahandlethough]

HELL YES CUSTOM ROBO IS SICK!!

[@shoonseiki]

Love the videos! But I wish you would play the in-game sound in the background and/or play clips with full sound every now and then so we can really feel and understand the game better. You usually only have a couple clips in each vid, this one had a bit more.

[@houndfall7261]

IMO the best techno soundtrack is destruction derby, cant wait to see that video. Snowboard kids 2 is a very close contender for the best too. Both videos I cant wait to see.

[@phoneyfredy]

Never heard the word obfuscate in my entire life.

[@tactical1981]

One of the handful of games I had for my N64 and I absolutely loved it! Never played the sequel though.

[@twizz420]

They didn't change into boulders. They changed into rocks. As in "rock and roll". Jesus christ

[@nachobrigante6581]

Dude this game was one of my first n64 games! It was so great ❤

Sorry but baked in ads will have me moving on. If it's money you need we got you dude!

This game was a big part of my childhood.

[@Zappy714]

Absolutely fantastic game with nonstop bangers. The battle mode was amazing as well, better than Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing's version in my opinion.

yes

do you say next game because you set it up to only play games of a series in order? (extreme g 1 before 2, etc)

Extreme G 2 is definitely in my top 3 games for the n64, up there with Paper Mario and Jet Force Gemini.

[@frankrizzo890]

Thab, only 1 comment. You talked a lot about how good the music was, but never included any in the video. Was it a copyright issue?

Unimaginative game

[@Badspot]

1:05 Hearing that "love letter" games are now being made for the 7th generation era made me instantly turn into a skeleton and die of old age.

[@three6hunter]

did you die after you turned into a skeleton?

[@myrojyn]

30 years ago is 1990 not 1960

[@thecianinator]

If it's any consolation, I doubt it's actually a "love letter" game. I bet that's just as good as they could get the graphics on their limited budget, so they decided to call it a "7th generation homage" to make the subpar graphics seem intentional.

[@Badspot]

@@thecianinator If I take off my glasses, I can't tell the difference between a good looking PS2 game and the latest PS5 release.

[@Badspot]

@@myrojynOh yeah, and we're further away from the release of Bowling for Soup's "1985" than that song was from the year 1985.

Yeah, this is one of those games I have great memories of. The sense of speed, especially at the time, felt pretty unrivalled. It was absolutely crazy. Fully agree about the soundtrack, too. So many bangers.
