Wow battletanks that's some nostalgia right there played that all the time you should do a 3DO video probably the only one that wants that since it's only full of army man games (also played the shit out of those to)

[@awkwardGardener]

I gotta say, for N64 those weapon models in that The World is not Enough game look really damn good.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

And if you thought the not-reloading in GoldenEye was pretty funny, imagine that all the weapons in TWINE *all have reload animations* and look really cool. ...I mean, so does Perfect Dark, but I love seeing how these work on an N64.

[@jangobango2847]

@@UltimaKeyMaster perfect dark is the game everyone nostalgicly thinks goldeneye was lol

[@victorpresti]

@@jangobango2847 Goldeneye was amazing. I loved TWINE too, since I owned the damn game and played it a lot. But Perfect Dark was really the gold standard, it got everything that was great about Goldeneye and amped it up to eleven. Just the sheer number of players and bots together with the customization available on multiplayer was mind-blowing.

[@zach5708]

@@jangobango2847 Not so. In fact, most people didn't even actually play Perfect Dark, because it was too choppy and cut down unless you got the add on Expansion Pak, AND it came out right at the last minute when everyone was leaving the N64 console. Most of my friends and family were all jamming on Goldeneye for a few years, and most didn't play Perfect Dark until much later through emulation to get the graphics boost and better framerate. Perfect Dark was actually fairly niche when it released.

[@4dhumaninstrumentality789]

TWINE is criminally underrated.

I rented snowboard kids 1 and 2 quite a lot as a kid. Had a ton of fun playing with friends and mastering the rocket powered snowboard. That traffic jam at the bottom of the hill was such a tense moment and I loved it.

[@4dhumaninstrumentality789]

Still my two favorite cart/battle racing games till this day. The A.I. is brutal on the more difficult levels. The multiplayer’s frame rate is pretty hard to stomach these days but it would awesome to play an updated version with online capabilities. Those were some intense sessions.

It seems like I lived a completely different childhood from the rest of my friends whenever we talk about N64. All my games were stuff like Mischief Makers or Chameleon Twist or Space Station Silicon Valley. Whenever I try to explain Buck Bumble to them they look at me like I'm insane

[@pious83]

Absolutely adored Space Station Silicon Valley. Ironically made by who would be known today as Rockstar. We only ever rented Mischief Makers, back in the day. I remember it being really difficult, as a kid.

[@whosaidthat84]

Remember Body Harvest? That never gets talked about. Basically the predecessor to GTA 3.

"Ba to the ba to the ba to the base". That'll always have free real estate in your brain. I bet the songs from Musical ninja live in there too.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers Hybrid Heaven. Specifically went out of my way to get the N64 expansion pak as a kid to make the game look better XD I just remember being amazed at how great the plot and story sequences were.

I played it a lot at a friend's house. I thought it was an interesting game. Never found anyone else who knew what it was.

I didn't even know about that game until Matt McMuscles mentioned it once. I would've loved it as a kid.

[@vahlok1426]

A weird and cool 64 game that has been long since forgotten about for me is Fighter's Destiny. It's a 3-D fighter with a traditional cast, but a non-traditional gameplay style. Instead of depleting a health bar, you're gunning for points like a traditional karate match. Punches and kicks aren't worth a lot, but a throw or ring out is worth a few, and a throw-counter is worth a bunch. Fun game. And you can play as a cow. Not a cow person, just a cow standing on its hind legs and doing sick martial arts.

[@jonahabenhaim1223]

He forgot to mention Clayfighter 64

[@IIyana08]

Yess I was hoping someone else would know about Fighters Destiny. I had the sequel and it's probably one of my favorite fighting games in general. It was so ambitious for it's time. I miss my copy.

[@iTz_Cheshire]

I talk about Fighter's Destiny any time I'm in a debate about the best fighting games of all time

[@joshuachittun9109]

Agreed the point system adds tremendous value and creates a strategic element, especially since one can customize the point system entirely, resulting in different scenarios. I would hope to see this series on the Switch Online Service.

[@vahlok1426]

@@joshuachittun9109 Getting into counter-counter-counter matches is super tense and satisfying too. I really wish another fighting game would pull off the Fighter's Destiny style, but nope, it's all gotta be "balanced" and "tournament friendly." I love the fgc for the most part, but the elitism of some of them kinda ruined fighting games to an extent.

[@mrjiggywiggy_1582]

My dude you aren’t the only one with fond memories of BattleTanx I would rent this game so many times from Blockbuster back in the day and loved having friends come over and play this game with me!! It was so fun!!

[@Hogman926]

I remember the day I saw it at our local pawn shop. I showed it to my dad and he said "Fuck yeah, we're getting this." One of my absolute favorites.

[@loneronin6813]

Sucker Punch is one of my favorite video game developers because what they lack in number of games they've made, they more than make up for in the quality of each one. They use every second of the numerous years they take to make a game and turn in some pretty brilliant stuff! I don't have that many favorite game companies because I typically enjoy various games from wildly differing developers because the games matter more than the companies that make them. That being said, Sucker Punch is a company I often associate with quality, so my curiosity is automatically peaked when their name enters a conversation about upcoming games.

[@JeffGavinMusic]

“The World Is Not Enough” is a top tier game. One of my favorite N64 games.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

I definitely played it a lot more than Goldeneye when I think back. I think it was an improvement, overall. It certainly was in terms of graphics and game mechanics. I just remember leaving my N64 on for days, possibly weeks at a time, to finally beat it. That was because I didn't have the memory card and couldn't save the game...might also have been why I played it so much lol. I was terrible at figuring out games as a kid and never looked at strategy guides or asked people. I had to start that game over every time I turned it on, which was a lot. I was just stoked to be able to play it.

I remember being around 10 or 11 years old, not even knowing straight what a Nintendo 64 or even what emulation was, but having the time of my life when I got my grandfather's neighbor grandson, a "computer guy" a little older than me, who didn't even live in the city at the time, to install Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. on my grandfather's prehistoric computer rolling Windows XP. How much I played those two games... Saw the guy in his grandfather's funeral a few years ago; he probably doesn't even remember the big favor he made to a small kid back then, and how thankful I am for it.

Man, I remember renting Goemon from Blockbuster, and not knowing what to do. I remember this Power Ranger sequence where I was fighting this giant robot, lol. The World Is Not Enough is a great game. I did my best to beat each level to unlock things. This game was also great because it had A.I to play along/against with friends. When playing the multiplayer mode we would pick the characters with the highest health to shoot at; Jaws looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I remember that one level, where you are escaping an explosion, I couldn't figure out what to do. I kept running, and side running to have the door shut in my face each time, xD.

New to your channel Austin. I’m a 33 year old life-long gamer. I grew up playing my older brother’s Atari and NES and even though I missed the arcade heydays of the 80’s arcades were still pretty big when I was a kid. I was much more into PS than N64, my brother got me into the FF games and my eldest brother is an electrical engineer that actually helped design the PS2 and I got a free one before it was released from him. I have played most of these N64 games however. Weekends back then meant going to a friend’s with an N64 playing some multiplayer golden eye for 4 hours or so, burning some CDs and then going to blockbuster to rent 3-4 games and rock out to some music. Those were the days.

[@Hatsworthful]

One cool thing i realized (since i didn't know about raguka kids) is that the green bear with cannons glued to him appears as a special easter egg in castlevania circle of the moon twice: first as the bear ring (which has his face and is essentially a joke item since it reduces all your stats by a 100 points) and you can full-on transform into him by using the DSS combination of pluto and black dog while wearing it. The regular effect of the card combination is turning into a skeleton and throw bones just like the enemy, except you have the chance of throwing a giant bone that deals more damage than anything in the game.

Regarding *BattleTanx* - I owned this game when I lived on the island of Roi-Namur on the Kwajalein Atoll '99-2000 (it is well worth your time to Google that up - it's a cool place, with all kinds of forgotten history from WWII). There is ZERO to do out there when you work night shifts and have a night off after you get tired of going for moonlit walks on a tropical island beach... and, you get bored. My fellow night shift friends, or just solo - I would stay up all night playing BattleTanx, getting shit faced on Captain Morgan rum, and eating coconut crabs. It was a hell of an adventure for a 22 year old!

I had an N64 as a kid. I rented a ton and played around. I had Nintendo Power magazine. I haven't even heard of like half of these games. You did good. P.S.: Rocket is the number one N64 game I regret never playing.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Great video! Battle Tanx (both of them) were a blast!

Bro, I subscribed to you because you talked about Goemon in that old video! And now here we are! Time sure has passed but our love for Goemon haven't!

21:54 Oh man i loved battle tanks! The multiplayer was so fun, and this was the first game i recall that had a shockwave that actually damaged things!

Fun fact about that World is Not Enough game. In multiplayer, all choosable characters are designated as being either “good” or “evil”. Which, okay, whatever. Here’s the thing though. The developers, for WHATEVER insane reason, decided to program the game to where any “good” character could not ever compete against another “good” character (but “evil” characters can). This means that in team battles, it pretty much always had to be a team of good characters vs a team of evil characters, or evil character vs evil characters. Pretty limited, but it kinda fits a theme so in a way it kinda works. Quirky, but manageable. Ah, but here’s the kicker. That stipulation. It ALSO applies to FREE FOR ALLS. Meaning, that in any free-for-all fights (which, from my experiences at least, is how _most_ people played back then) only ONE person could play as a good character. Good cannot fight good, so it forces everyone else to pick an evil character. I’d _love_ to know what the reasoning behind that bizarre and boneheaded decision. I’m also pretty sure that that’s a major factor to why the game is so forgotten nowadays, as it did put a major damper on the multiplayer experience. PS: Also, as an aside, if you choose the ski lift level with guided missiles in team matches, so long as everyone playing is at least semi competent, it’s impossible for the team that spawns in the downhill building to win, as there’s practically nowhere there you can go to to hide from the missiles. Might could hide in a room toward the back…but then you’d be stuck there as there’s absolutely no safe path for you to get to the other team because the other team can see _everything._ With the uphill building at least you have visible cover on the roof. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

Yess so glad you brought up Hybrid Heaven. Love that game :)

Bomberman 64 The Second Attack is fantastic, I'm very glad to see someone else out there gets it. Seriously, that game is a favorite of that entire generation for me.

Bro, I have been here SINCE YOU MADE the Mystical ninja video. I would LOVE to see you cover Goemon's Great Adventure.
