Thank you, sir.

Wow Could not have been more off the mark on Body Harvest. It was the testing ground for the multi vehicles game play later done in GTA3. The whole game revolves around all kinds of stuff that you can take over.

[@mikematei]

Maybe it was more impressive then. I have never played that one before this. Didn't really grab my interest.

[@deathofkings5633]

Mike Matei it's does some cool things with its vehicles. I have only played a bit but yeah it's not everybody's cup of tea. If you like really unique RPG battle systems you might like Hybrid Heaven. That's another very original N64 game.

[@dannygagne4693]

Played this game a lot back then. Really good game but you gotta give it some time. Pretty much the ancestor of today's sandbox games IMO.

[@1Holbytla]

I LOVED Body Harvest! So many different vehicles from different time periods to appropriate! Great music, too, I think. Such chill but somewhat eerie ambience when exploring and not in full combat. Got to Russia in the (still?) future but didn’t have time to get far. Too bad. I was looking forward to the more futuristic vehicles.

[@skijumpnose]

Already awesome starting with Mischief Makers, I was at the stream for a bit when you played Chameleon Twist, Quite an underrated game

[@sgt.rudolf3811]

Whoa! I took a look at the gameplay playlist. It was exciting!!! Now that here in Italy we are all quarantined, I have finally the time to do a PROPER marathon. Thanks a lot for the releases Mike! Stay cool!!!! AAAAAND I will subscribe to Mike Matei Live to interact in the next sessions. See you later gamer.

I'd like to play that one more sometime.

[@joshuahodges308]

Thanks for playing blast corps mike! It’s a super fun puzzle game with a bunch of awesome levels and unique vehicles. Would love to see a full stream of this game!

[@AlienFrequency]

Mischief Makers was one of the 1st games I bought with my own money. I remember my older brother also making fun of shaking so many balls. I never beat it, but I remember enjoying it. Lots of variety in that game.

[@frostare]

Ahhh, I love Mischief Makers. It was my first N64 game and a great transition from SNES, I might add.

[@chubbycatfish4573]

Wow, I haven't seen Blast Corps, Forsaken, and some others since I rented them back in the 90s. This really takes me back. Also, I remember the same frustration at there being no way to change the controls in Forsaken.

[@nickm5419]

Forsaken 64 has Turok Dinosaur hunter controls which makes it playable

[@tommy8058]

Great video. I remember playing Robotron 64 with two controller. One stick for moving the character and the other stick for shooting. Makes this game more enjoyable. 😉

[@deathofkings5633]

That’s cool you can do that on the 64 version. I know you can on the old Atari 7800 one but didn’t know they carried it over to the newer game.

[@andrewalexander4331]

Body Harvest was one of my favourite N64 games back in the day, probably the least talked about excellent N64 game I know.

[@golden_eldorado]

"You know who won that fight? Me, by turning the game off". Sensei Mike Matei, 2020

[@Jeiyu]

The diamonds remind me of Kid Chameleon on Sega lol. Good vid man!

[@fusionspace175]

Forsaken is great, the trick to the controls is that the c buttons strafe left right up and down and the stick is mostly for aiming and turning. They're fantastic controls once you play around with it. It's all about collecting powerups, and after you die they stay and you can recollect them for your next run. Limited lives and continues and a good difficulty curve, it's beatable but pretty hard, you'll need to find what levels give extra lives and farm a bit, or at least I did.

[@rossfromfriends8468]

First m rated game I ever played . The gore was so over the top it blew my mind

Silicon valley is actually a really good game. I loved it as a kid. So inventive and memorable, I enjoyed the music too.

[@DarmokAtTinegra]

Thank god you figured out how to enjoy Blast Corps. It is very difficult later on, and the fun depends on which vehicle you're in, but it's a lot of fun. That dump truck is tricky to learn, but if you get in a groove you can go into ridiculous spirals of destruction.

[@CyberKaz3]

Still legendary how you fuckin just walked thru that minefield lol

Mischief Makes was the first game I played on the N64. Its pretty challenging, at least for an 8 year old. Felt like a legend when i finally beat it.

[@CyberKaz3]

I got in this stream late, but thank you for trying my suggestions!

[@eric12bee]

People think I'm nuts when I say Robotron 64 is my favorite N64 game, because it's not famous nor rare (expensive). Hey I think you showed everyone how entertaining it is. My favorite way to play is to plug in a second N64 controller and enable twin-stick shooter mode in the options.

[@TheRedRaven_]

Does Mike not know Treasure also made Gunstar Hero’s? The game design is so similar I figured he would make the connection.

[@Wellthatsinterestingstuff]

I remember wanting mischief makers SO BAD when I was a kid. When I finally got it I thought it sucked, but I beat it anyway. True story.

[@anzarudo]

blast corps is awesome, i remember buying it when i was younger and it has so much replayability dozens and dozens of stages using different combinations of vehicles, some of which are only unlocked after collecting all of the light-up beacons on the ground (like collecting notes in banjo kazooie), or destroying all buildings, or by clearing the mission quickly and the challenge gets really hard after a while - could never get all platinum. definitely got my money's worth though

[@EarlFaulk]

The developers definitely made a mistake with one of those platinum trials though. Its the stage that has you push square blocks into holes to stop the carrier from exploding when it hits those massive potholes. They calculated the time as if you had to do that to "clear all buildings" but if you just cleared all obstructions and set the ships up the right way to provide a bridge at the end you could get platinum with 3 minutes to spare while ignoring those massive square holes.

[@DanielBurapavong]

Love that Bomberman Hero music.

[@thedangerwich5476]

lol mike was about to say a duck shouldn't run out of breath underwater.

[@chubbycatfish4573]

The plot to Battle Tanx is bizarre: In 2001, a virus has killed 99.99% of the females on Earth. Various countries fight over each other's quarantine zones, and end up engaging in nuclear war, destroying much of civilization. The few remaining females are held by gangs who have taken over small pieces of the world. The main character, Griffin Spade, had his fiancée Madison taken away from Queens, New York by the U.S. government. Griffin ends up separated from his fiancée, and New York City is destroyed. He claims a tank for his own and sets out to cross the United States to find her, battling gangs as he reaches his goal. After surviving the ruins of New York City, Griffin heads westward gaining recruits in the countryside, Chicago, Las Vegas, and San Francisco.

[@MaxDrawsStuff]

Hey Mike! If you like games like Robotron you definetly should check Nex Machina on PS4 or PC. It's like Robotron++, just pure and fast arcade fun, but with nice graphics and music, different weapons and cool bosses.

I remember the day I finally beat Blast Corps that game is intense towards the end ... Not a bad game though, I remember buying it blindly from Walmart after mowing yards one summer...

[@feezee82]

I wish Nintendo will make N64 Classic Mini one day. I had PSX back then, so I completely missed out on N64.

[@ProdriveGT]

How can u not like body harvest?

[@deathofkings5633]

Mission Impossible on N64 is good but it’s more like a Splinter Cell game then a Bond game. Everybody wanted Mission Impossible to be another Goldeneye shooter just because both franchises are about spies and Goldeneye left such a huge impression. But Mission Impossible was always about team work and sneaky espionage not a first person Arcady shooter. The game really is it’s own thing which captures the spirit of the franchise rather decently.

[@DomOfSin666]

You got hooked on robotron just like I did

[@TheZaius]

Mike needs to do some Blast Corps streams. That game is absolutely AMAZING, but balls hard.

[@masterlee1988]

I hope he plays that more on stream someday.

"Silicon Valley, who came up with this?"...Scottish People after a sesh

[@Kourumeme]

Mischief maker, Hexen, and space Silicon Valley are the ones I would play for the n64. But he should also try out goemon,

[@feiwong3634]

Yeah Mystical Ninja Goemon 1 and 2 are fucking awesome, of my favorites on the console, but the problem is that are tons of cool games like - Jet Force Gemini, Turok 1 and 2, Perfect Dark... And don't get me started on the racing games, because there are lots and lots of them, and they mostly are cool too!

[@Ch4oTiK]

Check out Wallace and Gromit. Chicken Run is also pretty good, and Paranorman as well. But Wallace and Gromit is classic claymation.

[@rossfromfriends8468]

Wow so many games I remember playing for hours with my friend. He would bring over forsaken and battletanx and we would play all day . Once we got smash bros it was even more time spent gaming lol

[@jimmyju76]

Blask Corps was one of my favorite games lol

[@monkeyssss]

In robotron he could shoot diagonally by such as holding the c buttons together such as holding right & down c to shoot down right , only made the game harder for himself but when knowing that it will make it more fun & easier by far

[@kekeke8988]

Isn't there a better version of robotron on a system that actually has 2 sticks?

[@monkeyssss]

Kekeke89 of the original robotron yes on the midway remaster on 360 but with robo 64 there is no other way to play it besides on the 64 it’s worth it tho

[@dabnbong]

somewhere aroiund 37 mins.. i heard Robotron sound effects. Dad use to have this in the arcade.. but not this version.

Have you ever gave Terranigma for SNES a try Mike? It's a bit wordy at times, especially at the beginning but it has a fun Zelda/Secret of Mana combat system

[@kekeke8988]

It's nothing remotely like Zelda. Sort of like Secret of Mana.

[@saulpaul8422]

You and James should play Nightmare Creatures on N64. You and James also need to give Body Harvest a full try. I realize your just sampling games and you didn't think it was up your alley but you need to revisit that one. You get better guns 💪

[@cheaddos]

Donald Duck Goin' Quackers, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Rayman 2 are some of the games you might wanna try on Nintendo 64.

[@masterlee1988]

Oh yeah, he should definitely play those.

[@AirMal23]

Mike nice 👍 n64 stream. I like your videos where you play different hacks and home brews. Theirs a pretty decent home brew for the NES on ROM and physical copy available in June for release called “Trophy”. It’s a Mega Man inspired game that looks interesting to play. Keep that on your radar for possible stream.

[@Wymorence]

Vigilante 8 and Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 were my favorites on the PSX back in the day. Any game like RT:V2012 that had a sexed-up nun was pretty much a guarantee for a young teen like me.

Mike, you didn't play one of my all-time favorite N64 games of all time, which was San Francisco Rush 2049. San Francisco Rush 2049 had a stunt mode where you launched a supercar up and off of huge ramps/platforms and did a ton of bat shit crazy stunts in the air to earn points!!! It was odd/weird and an absolute ton of fun!!!! Mike please live stream or make a video of you playing San Francisco Rush 2049!!!!
