N64 Game Reviews I Wrote When I Was 12 years old

[@Larry]

Still more coherent than IGN :D

[@pettisd]

I love when you show up out of nowhere Larry

[@mikenewbold1699]

larry is everywhere must just sit on the computer 24/7

[@skippy17741]

Larry ❤

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Larry we love seeing your OG gamer face

[@jackbessant1936]

"The graphics look real." haha maaaan these were the days!

[@metjoe13]

Even 12 year old Pete made better reviews than IGN. :D

[@Justacat153]

Pros -Good Graphics -Atmosphere and Sense of Adventure Cons -More stupider than Mario 64

[@paulh909]

Cons - Too much water

[@TCBGplays]

The way you said “8 out of 10” at the end reminds me of Adam Sessler on Xplay 😂

[@Playongo]

Evidence that all the people overly critical of video games on the Internet are actually 12.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Dude if I got to have my younger self review something it'd be like "Final Fantasy 7 zomfg amazing nothing else is better Sephiroth is GOD" Something like that

[@BxSin67]

Wow! A blast from the past! how awesome you still have that around! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@epicben-ki7co]

Show the reviews Pete! this was very entertaining and fun to watch

[@millenniumfantasy6503]

I'm so glad Pete is making videos again!

[@nikkenakke3079]

These kind of videos are so cool!

[@CaptainNatron]

That was great! Yes I'd love to hear those ps2-era reviews as well. I never did reviews as a kid, but I did rate all the games I played during the snes era. I know at one point I used the Nintendo Power format. Wish I had kept mine like you did.

[@kevinarjune9121]

this is easily one of my favorite videos by you!

[@mediaglitch]

This is awesome! Its crazy that you keep all this stuff around!

[@bloodhound1212gb]

This is one of my favorite videos from you, Pete. Keep up the good work. On a side note, I too found my younger self being a lot more critical with video games than I am now. Maybe it's a collector's mentality, but ever since I got myself into game collecting, I appreciate the majority of video games (including Bubsy 3D).

[@TheRaven078]

Good video. I enjoyed listening to what an articulate little feller you must have been even back then. I have memories and a few writings like this from when I was a kid in the NES era.

[@CaptainFailcon]

Hey Pete, longtime viewer here. I'm glad you're still making content. Your videos are really nice to watch/listen to. Keep on collectin'.

[@canadianturtle7240]

Pete, you had an awesome childhood. You had all the best N64 games by the age of 12.

[@ghostisblack]

Also, he wasnt like the rest of us trying to sell all our games for the next gen stuff or throw away our boxes lol

[@allhailthelegs]

ikr those boxes are mint too. Kid loved his games

[@ethansmall01]

Brings me back! I used to post reviews on GameSpot.com back in the day. Nice video :-)

[@beyoncefan2382]

I'm not familiar with all the games but this was still entertaining to watch! glad to see more videos from you again as well!

[@CodisTheMan]

Surprised by some of these ratings. A lot of those games were ground breaking for gaming! Great video!

[@Neffets]

Awesome you found those papers! I did something similar. Not a review like you, but I scored all my NES and SNES games in graphics, sound, replayability, difficulty and a final overall score. I'm pretty sure I don't have those lying around anywhere..

[@PCGamer77]

Just watched this one, Pete. Really cool, I'd love to see/hear more of these!

[@IgorKolosha]

12:55 LOL you got me good there Pete. Was about to throw my mug at the monitor. 8/10 sounds about right though!

[@Pyraticalpunk]

This was great Pete!! I always like guys like us who like writing reviews

[@TheCompletionist]

This is a good idea for a video. This is actually one of the best videos you made in a while. I've always found with your reviews as you gotten older, you've been a little more forgiving with how you looked at games - you always try to see the good out of every game you play regardless if you like it or not. Its weird because as kids to teenagers, I often found that we're not usually as harsh because we're just simply happy to have a video game to play, but yet some of the complaints you had about games when you were younger would be things that i wouldn't complain about so its really interesting to see your mind set towards video games when you were younger. Still an excellent video and some good insight about what you deemed as a good game when you were much younger in your life.

[@PeteDorr]

Thanks, appreciate it :)

[@EngineermanCullen]

I love these type of videos Pete! Good job!

[@3229343]

really good video pete! thanks for sharing this with us!

[@jordunn131]

It's funny how we look back at enjoying every game as a child and back then we were little critics like we are today.

[@RE-LOOIE]

Absolutely fantastic :D Loved this video idea, Pete!

[@ryezio3637]

Jesus, Pete's really getting back into his KZbin videos isn't he? This is awesome

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

People still don't know the term "isometric" to this day. I keep hearing "the graphics are top down, but kind of from the side", it's funny.

[@deadlyotaku240]

ooo, another PeteDorr video? What a nice surprise :)

[@jamaicob]

Would love to hear more of your old reviews. I wish i had all my old work for "making sequels" i had hundreds of pages on an Altered beast sequel

[@jakebeneski1977]

I mean honestly you don't post as much but your just very relaxed but great commentarys makes you my favorite KZbinr for sure

[@j.r.goralczyk4182]

Amazing, been really looking forward to this one.

[@rafael_jimenez]

by far my favorite video game youtube channel!!!

[@RalphPootawn0]

Bring out more old review Pete this is great stuff

[@optimysticquest]

Pete keep making vids! KZbin needs you man

[@bmaga123]

loved this video Pete!

[@LEONthemercenarie]

Funny reaction to Yoshi's Story lol When I was in 8th grade I wrote a review of FFVII and I still have it. Your reviews seemed fair to me. Diddy Kong Racing was an interesting one.

[@capstasher]

it's awesome to see what kids actually thought about the games when they came out. would be cool to hear the reviews you had for ps2 games

[@SchmavidSchmobb]

I have to say- I came here from Dunkey’s “drama” video thinking that I wouldn’t like this guys content, and while I’m not sure I’ll be a repeat viewer, my initial impression of Pete is that he is a really sweet guy who deserves no hate or jokes… we need more sincere people who are unapologetic about who they are. Keep doing what you do Pete, all the best

[@sageraziel]

I love your videos, and I am really happy that you still take the time to make them! It would be awesome if you did a Pokemon themed video to celebrate Pokemon's 20th anniversary and the upcoming release of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. Maybe you could do like a retrospect or something. ^^

[@BrandonH58]

This was such a great video! Hahaha too bad more tubers can't do this. Would love more along with your current take on the game.

[@weredog132]

I'm so glad you're back.

[@Jessinator101]

More old reviews please Pete

[@VeteranTrainer]

I loved this style of video,please revisit your older reviews!

[@loudbill]

I love your vids pete. Keep up the good work!

[@MrKreisKlinge]

I remember writing a game review when I was around that age too... I even posted it online. Reading it now would make me cringe way too hard, though. Awesome video, Pete!

[@MegaMetal96]

Ya boi yung Pete Dorr with the hot takes

[@DarthGamer00]

It would be great to see some of the old reviews that you did for Game Rankings.

[@Post_Leako]

Did you ever make the PS2 review video? I'd love to hear that.

[@Ninten70]

I loved Yoshi's Story, DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing. I played and Rented every game from Blockbuster (Snowboard Kids, Fighter's Destiny, Beetle Adventure Racing, Mystical Ninja etc etc.)

[@Battosai]

Loving the uploads my friend.

[@newgameaaaa]

Yes I liked listening to your reviews I want to hear more on your ps2 reviews

[@danielwebofrito2]

I'd love to see those gamerankings reviews.

[@miniwarmonger788]

Dorrlicious ! Nice to have ye back man : D

[@thedutchess2003]

Would love to hear your ps2 reviews Pete

[@GeddyRC]

This was really entertaining. I'm about the same age, and it was an incredible time to be into video games. Subscribed!

[@RadiShineAmigo]

I like it when HappyConsoleGamer does these videos and when I saw you upload this I was excited. I would like to see more videos like this :)

[@WantedAngelina]

Bring back ur old ps2 reviews!! Would love to hear them!

[@oneleaftree86]

"My box has no flaps on it" Pete Dorr 2016.

[@SwedishGameNerd]

It's fun to hear your thoughts about the games now versus your thoughts about the games when you were younger :)

[@mannycisneros5765]

I do this for my a few systems.. mostly the games I get rid of though so I keep the game collection with only the best of the best games. A simple score from 1 through 5 about the graphics and fun factor. Sometimes the graphics are great and still don't make the cut of it isn't fun.

[@emilyvilleneuve9315]

There needs to be a game out there with a quote from you on it that says "Is great real time graphics".

[@WWEMMA32]

Definitely wanna see more past reviews.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I would like to hear you talk about those old PS2 reviews.

[@jasonrabeau]

that fonts awesome. it reminds me of AOL Instant Messenger.

[@ghostisblack]

Great video, I would do things like this when I was younger as well. Id love to see your reviews you did later on like you mentioned!

[@Ratlegion]

Interesting. Thank you for sharing, would like to see more.

[@Dezzan]

I would like to see more reviews! :D also lol @ you giving 6/7s to all games

[@VideoGameExplorers]

"This game is too big." - Pete Dorr, 1999 I agree with this.

[@lilycat2737]

This is amazing Pete! :D

[@XenosTheGamer]

yes bring up those old reviews also!

[@NicktheLP]

Lmao Mario 64? 7. DK64? 9. Great vid btw, I would like to see more. The blurbs were not too bad, but the scores were wild lol.

[@PeteDorr]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@superduperm1]

I love DK64 and even I wouldn't rate it two points higher over Mario 64, lol.

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

MKT is by far my favorite due to the speed alone.

[@ClintonomoBay]

i just watched the Top N64 Games video by you a few minutes ago and then this pops up!

[@ssj2matt]

It's probably the school's fault you never gave anything a 10. Back then they seemed to hammer it into kids that nothing could be perfect.

[@Capo-.-]

Loved the video, Pete. I definitely wanna see more. OoT should have got a 10/10, though. What was 12 year old you thinking?!

[@sir_mattimus7069]

I would of gave Mario 64, Mario kart and starfox 64 10/10 because those were my jam

[@tonylenzi166]

thats really cool i would love to have stuff like this from my childhood

[@jakebeneski1977]

Love your videos man

[@theobscurestash6537]

Thank you so much for sharing these nostalgic reviews. I wish I had enough security in my life to buy/own such a beautiful shrine of awesome yet otherwise useless plastic (the figures not the games) like that amazing collection behind you.

[@Ponimaju]

I had like 11 N64 games when I was a kid, and none of them were first party Nintendo games. Jealous of all the Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong/Star Fox etc.

[@nickswan212]

You have an awesome taste in N64 games. 7/10

[@alex_capone]

really awesome video! i wish I grew up in the n64 days...

[@nullrazor267]

Awesome video, Pete!

[@ElBribri]

Bring these back

[@jd-py5nm]

what were your favorite game magazines back in the day? i was all about egm and tips and tricks

[@MattHill_olpband]

That would be so cool if you did a video on your other Reviews from way back

[@altrogeruvah]

We have the same age! Don't tell me you wrote these on Microsoft Kids' Creative Writer, that font looks extremely familiar. Also, even though Bomberman 64 is one of my favorite N64 games that stood the test of time, I would have probably given it a lower score, cause I didn't know how to bounce on bombs to reach all the warp zones and therefore complete it 100%.

[@TheMountainman14]

Pete if you put more time into your channel you would easily have 1 million plus subs. You always have great content and quality. Been a sub for years. Hopefully you get inspired again and have the time to put more time I to your channel!:)

[@kellygriffin3922]

have you played 3d dot game heroes

[@flabbypluto7982]

please do more of your old reviews and man you were hard on ratings lol

[@RAZORREVOLUTION1]

You weren't an easily satisfied kid, I take it. The Mario and Banjo scores given by your 12 year old self need to be looked into. It's a travesty of justice! :)

[@NetConsole]

Drinking game: One shot for every time the word 'fun' is used.

[@michaelmcguire7526]

Dang, so harsh on glover 64 but I agree it is one of my favorites as well :)

[@thunderhawk11]

Hmmm was really expecting to see like a 1080, blast corps, majoras or pilotwings

[@GeminiNyc8]

Awesome vid, Pete. Definitely want to see more of your reviews. Reminds me of when I used to review my own games and gave my own review score.

[@fireheartis1]

Pete your younger self was straight trippin!! War Gods is a great game dude.
