Beating EVERY N64 Game - Penny Racers (148/394)

[@dragoneater6771]

I am binge watching all of Thab's N64 playthroughs, and I mean all of them

[@mrcheesemunch]

It sucks when you catch up I had so much fun watching like 100 in a week or so

[@toxicmanbaby1069]

You must be a great fan of the great sport of Majong

[@jasonphillips3817]

What's the twist?!

[@doji_town_adventures]

first time?

[@nugboy420]

I’ve been caught up since episode 30 or so and yeah have fun while it lasts it sucks waiting a week for another.

[@houdin654jeff]

“There are so many games. How could anyone know them all?” By watching Thab play all of them, of course!

[@vancovio]

True, saves me time lol

[@EpicureMammon]

I had an actual Penny Racer car when I was a kid. Yeah, they look almost just like those cars with weird proportions. You could tuck a penny in a holder in the back and it would make it do wheelies, spin around, etc. I had no idea this game existed or that I hadn't just dreamed the whole thing. Apparently they still make them? What a weird thing to make into an N64 game.

[@CrawYT]

Did it have a cannon?

[@joel14roy]

2:24 why you can choose anything else than none: if you lost a race previously and got a piece changed , you can get it back this way. probably more common to do in multiplayer with friends.

[@gammaphonic]

This is part of the long running Choro Q series. They’re pretty fun games for the most part. Some of them are full on open world RPG style games too. They’ve been released under many different names in the west; Penny Racers, Gadget Racers, Road Trip.

[@donovaneckstrom]

I still have my copy of Road Trip on the GBA. Such an underrated gem.

[@notyetskeletal4809]

Ahh road trip for ps2

[@wes773105333]

Road trip is awesome.

[@n122333]

I somehow ended up with 2 copy of road trip (ps2) and it's still one of the greats.

[@pickleman40]

I liked gadget racers and seek and destroy, the cute talking tank rpg. Pretty good games considering they were made to promote takara toys

[@CIubDuck]

This game looks kinda like a mix between Snowboard Kids and Mario Kart 64, it looks really fun

[@mattlewis8889]

Reminds me of Stunt Race FX.

[@keithsherwood6274]

Really good analogy actually

[@Blaqk_Frozste]

I remember playing this one was a kid. It was good fun

[@xGshikamaru]

It feels like some assets are right from mk64 for the race tracks

[@BR-jw7pm]

I just gotta say, as someone whose first console was the N64, I respect the fact you’re playing EVERY game you absolute mad lad!

[@jcman-lp6lg]

no matter how many times I've watched these videos that part always gets me 0:05

[@pokeli2728]

This challenge has made me realize just how many games have level creators on this console. Kind of wish modern games would do things like that more.

[@anthonymorin400]

What I like about your videos, is that when you'll be done with all of them, a playlist of them will become a pretty good encyclopedia!

[@hardeho]

Facts. This series will be an staple for N64 retro fans for decades I think. Like, kids just now being born will get into N64 in 10 or 15 years and reference these vids.

[@ReviewTheCrew]

Can't believe we are about halfway through the journey at this point and we are heading up on some big titles in the coming videos. So hype.

[@Warrenoh]

Well we got 50 more games but ok :L

[@ReviewTheCrew]

@@Warrenoh That's if you are going in real time with the livestreams and not the completed videos that are a bit behind.

[@undericeaxeman]

Cant wait for Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. (1998)! awesome M rated fighting game that was way ahead of its time!

[@DekuLord]

You finally got to the only good Penny Racers game! I used to love this game as a kid, it's a shame every other game labelled as Penny Racers isn't anywhere near as good.

[@jrs4516]

the psx penny racers game shits on this game from a great height.

[@silvereloking6149]

1:13 That red car is Lamborghini Diablo from 1990

[@Remix916]

I'm honestly waiting for him to play the Extreme-G series. I absolutely loved those racing games and it also had a sweet soundtrack as well.

[@shouryuuken4147]

Agreed. Extreme-G 1 and 2 would be cool to see. Love those games.

[@kez963]

Hype for Quake 64!

[@fraggem]

Get ready for ABSOLUTE DARKNESS on the screen.

[@arkjag2991]

As someone who grew up with an N64 and who considers himself well versed in retro games, I continue to be stunned at the sheer number of racing games that exist on this console. 90% of them I wouldn't even know exist if it wasn't for this series.

[@SirGriefALot]

I remember the penny racer cars from when I was a kid. They had a little slot in the back to put a penny in to make them drive on the back two wheels. Seems like a strange idea to base a whole game around tho.

[@Melissanoma]

yeah easy to miss this is technically a game based on a toy

[@Atylonisus]

I never understood how the penny even made the things work, is it some kind of demon magic?

[@CatManDoom84]

Haha i was skimming the comments to see if anyone knew these were actual toys back in the day! I Def had a small collection of em :)

[@Melissanoma]

@@Atylonisus it's been a minute since I actually played with one, but wikipedia says the penny is a counterweight to make the car do a wheelie. The car moves with a ratchet and spring motor.

[@onebigboy1861]

Just found the channel. Excited for more content. This game has a hold on me. Hours if not days of my life dedicated to it as a child. So under rated

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

8:06 Thab is an hour into the game and still has not discovered tires. On the edge of my seat for when he chooses tires.

[@noice__]

I was waiting for you to play this one, this game is part of a huge line of games that go by Choro Q in Japan. The two games that made up my childhood were Penny Racers for PS2 (not to be confused with this one) that goes by Choro Q High Grade in Japan (チョロQ HG), and Road Trip Adventure that goes by Choro Q High Grade 2 (チョロQ HG2).

[@hoagieimpact9189]

There's no other N64 game that resembles 2005 Nintendo DS graphics more than 1998's Choro-Q/Penny Racers.

[@randomwowjunkie]

You're so right, it looks pretty close to Mario Kart DS!

[@anakinchromosomewalker7031]

Quake 2 was so fun on the ps1, I remember playing it with my dad as a kid (I was 7) as I was terrified to play alone, I wonder how the N64 holds up.

[@ChristMetalMayhem]

Pretty sure Quake 1 is next.

[@wpouser]

Now that looks like a very fine game, love the track creation tool by the way,

[@wes773105333]

I need to give this one a try sometime. I really enjoyed Road Trip on PS2.

[@jamesrasmussen9281]

Honestly this project is great for archival purposes. A really great way to pay respect to a foundational console.

[@bonokov84]

Oh man, I forgot I had Penny Racers for a bit…I remember the playing for hours to gain all the special parts. The game was a completionists nightmare because in order to steal the part, you needed the car that had the special part to finish in the bottom 3, but the special part usually meant that they were faster/better than most of the comp so the strat always seemed to be punish that car as much as possible to put them in last and then squeak out a win at the last second. Like Thab said, the game had interesting parts but missed the mark a bit.

[@juan_pwn]

I’ve been waiting on this one for a long time. My all time favorite game on the N64

[@jeremybailey7425]

Watching Thab get tossed around with the slightest of touches brought back many memories

[@juan_pwn]

@@jeremybailey7425 Tons of anger fueled from getting hit and fears were made by being in first place.

[@davidt3563]

Woot Quake 64 next! One I never got to play but I played the living hell out of it and Quake 2 on PC

[@VictorGaleskas]

Watching this video while sitting on the same hotel room at the same time from last year whenever I was starting to follow Thab’s N64 journey. Thanks for one year of entertainment Thab!

[@gustavocve1779]

you should see the more crazy weapons you can get. Missile launchers, huge lasers, hyper turbos... makes each race so much chaos.

[@DarkKen87]

I've put many hours into this game & have gotten all the parts multiple times lol it's the only game in which I've beaten the scores on the speedrun boards :)

[@JEFFYjackass]

Dude, I am so glad I'm all caught up with your N64 videos. Keep on rockin man 🤘

[@TheAaronRodgersTao]

Love this. Thx for doing these every week.

[@BdR76]

I know this channel focuses on finishing the single player modes, but with games like this, can you also show short part of the multiplayer mode? I feel like the 2x2 splitscreen multi-player mode was such a big part of the N64 era

[@caseyp5665]

If we're all first, none of us are! Lol

[@JomasterTheSecond]

The sequel to this was released exclusively in Japan; I hope you get to that some time. It's just as mental.

[@WoeBringer1195]

Man, I can't wait for the F-Zero X playthrough. I remember that game being really hard when I was little. I haven't played it in so long.

[@GarrettisFarret]

Dang it. Hurry up and get Ogre battle 64!!!

[@michaelvaldespinojr.4905]

Patiently waiting for WWF No Mercy content 🥺

[@aleckermit]

This game looks pretty good, bet its a fun mp experience when both players grasp all the mechanics.

[@Raro404]

Thank you for giving me at least one thing to look forward too every week, Thab. Legit one of the few things stopping me from necking at this point.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

looks surprisingly... fun!

[@DumDoDoor]

We didn't own this game so we rented it. For what it's worth, it was better as a rental title due to the limited tracks and stuff. I know me and my siblings had a great time with this one.

[@CatmanToxoplasmosis]

Nice one bro

[@TheAoalec14]

This game kinda looks like a 3d version of the isometric NES racer RC Pro AM. I think THQ made both games not sure though. But the parts/power ups and track varieties seem reminiscent of RC Pro AM just a 3d behind the car view

[@Tom_Doretto]

It's like the evolution of stunt race fx

[@zRevol]

I look forward to watching these every week. Doin gods work. Thank you

[@TurtleFPL]

Penny Racers was my first ever game 😍

[@thurantpnh6687]

My favorite part of the video is always the, "What's that."

[@mitch.e2960]

I Played this game so much as a kid got every item and 1st place on every track on my memory card, (yes you could save your items on a memory card). Also if you honk your horn twice you can do a barrel roll great for tight corners. Edit: Just got to the part where you mentioned the roll

[@pickleman40]

Been playing the ps2 choro q games after you posted this, the rpg car games they released later on are so awesome, shame they arent on n64

[@mrcheesemunch]

As fun as weapon pickups sound I do like the sound of basically making your own build with custom weapons in a game like this. I've never played it but I think you can basically do that in Crossout, I'd love a multiplayer racer where you design your own vehicle instead of everyone getting screwed over by stuff like blue shells which feel more annoying than fair to me.

[@three6hunter]

when is the Oot Run popping out

[@Mopboy4K]

This series has grown on me, I find myself watching every installment to see what's next!

[@SneakyDecoy72]

Why did it have to grow? HES PLAYING EVERY N64 GAME!

[@idonteatcheetos]

I've never even heard of this game before, looks fun though I would've enjoyed this back in the day for sure. I'm waiting for that Quest 64 playthrough lol

[@fabioalvesshow]

Hope when you reach Super Mario 64 you use a Mario Costume would be fun

[@usedforks]

4:32 Avoiding potholes in Chicago be like

[@CharlieKellyEsq]

Horse game???? Where is it at???

[@ABitMoreJordan]

This looks like adorable chaos.

[@Toxodos]

a built in track editor? How many racers of that console generation can boast that

[@TheBloggme]

Check out road trip adventure on ps2 if you think this looks cool

[@ChrisJones-pi5mh]

I have this game and it’s really fun. It’s not easy, but stealing powerups and upgrading your car is satisfying.😂

[@Matt-km8yw]

Some games I watch the whole video and sometimes I just skip to see which ones coming up next. It's great

[@misterodfox]

There is an excel sheet in the descriptions that shows what games he’s drawn.

[@Matt-km8yw]

@@misterodfox yes I know. But I like the anticipation at the end of the video

[@misterodfox]

@@Matt-km8yw me too. Hits harder when when you watch through all of them. And I mean all of them

[@101lemons]

Pretty fun, wonky sometimes infuriating physics

[@Thinh-Nguyen.]

I loved your playthrough of this thab!! 😊

[@gustavocve1779]

I love this game, so much fun playing it while growing up

[@StonedMonkeyProductions]

Sweet loved this game a neighbor had it. So much time spent racing around

[@fabioalvesshow]

The cars looks so cute

[@clamwok]

I hope everyone is having a great Friday!

[@pyroflameproductions]

i cannot wait for quake 9001

[@ReverendRockandRollJoe]

Dude when he gets to the end of all the Nintendo 64 games a marathon is going to ensue

[@RJKYEG]

All racing games on the N64 were up against Mario Kart, even if they're totally different in theme and style you can't get away from it.

[@ZootedBeaver]

Can't wait for Quake!

[@brendanpr21]

"How could anyone know them all?" Well you are finding that out :)

[@loosapalooza398]

One of the best soundtracks on the n64

[@nathanastle9322]

Don't forget to like the video!

[@keithsherwood6274]

Been waiting on this one! Instant nostalgia

[@Instrulnomical]

Woo! Quake! I Jus Finished A Playthrough Not Too Long Ago! Can’t Wait To Watch You Beat It! 😃

[@bradlauk1419]

I legitimately forgot penny racers existed

[@michaelholme93]

This was a relaxing episode.

[@Clodd1]

The best games are being saved for the end, that’s a good thing though.

[@ROMBomb001]

I'd really like to see your take on Aidyn Chronicles

[@Nirakolov]

Can't remember if you did F-Zero X yet, but when you get to that I hope you use the cheat code to unlock the X cup instead of grinding it out... cuz the X cup is super worth it

[@georgegeorgington2969]

I can't wait for Road Rash!

[@codygore7530]

Love this dudes videos

[@FTfilm]

it looks like this game really lacks polish and a vision. nice they threw in the map editor though..

[@roberthelm87]

OMG Quake...............YYYYEEEEESSSSS lets go

[@danobernabe5861]

This game is the father of Gran Turismo

[@justinyeager7735]

Do you livesteam these? How can I see it?

[@Thabeast721]

Yes on my Twitch channel. The same name as my KZbin

[@jhandcockful]

Once again within 10 spaces of Re-Volt!

[@eman54132]

Thank you

[@justinyeager7735]

I am loving this

[@jesselynds5411]

394 games is not a lot. it's actually quite a few compared to most consoles, SNES had well over 3000

[@sinistersurfer9249]

When does Zelda OOT drop?!

[@parker2490]

I Fn loooove this game, it’s my favourite N64 racer

[@user-account-not-found]

Nothing like a low cost racer 😅

[@Dave96939]

I keep waiting for you to get to stunt race, then I keep remembering it's SNES :(

[@434444334]

lol how’s the break from streaming 64 games on twitch while 100 games catching up I bet it’s a relief

[@natekunnen7021]

6th… if this is still happening. Love you Thab
