“You think you’re the apex predator when you are a wolf with missiles, but then you find a polar bear with bombs” that might be my favorite quote of this whole series.

[@Pikpikmate]

I was waiting the entire time for this one! This is one of my favorite N64 games of all time. The humor, atmosphere, and music are fantastic. Gameplay can be frustrating and janky but it's fun. Btw, a dev actually commented on Cybershell's SSSV video that the ghost collectible had bad collision so it was disabled, not realizing that a collectible also used that collision.

[@andrewspielberg2914]

This game was sooooo underrated. One of the best on N64.

[@jordanpate5065]

I've watched all these N64 videos, but this is one I've watched the full vod of when it first hit the other channel. Your script is so good, you had to cut out so many moments, but what you chose to leave in was perfect, it flowed so well. Your video editor did fantastic too syncing up with the script, well done all around. I've loved this series from the start, but it has been great seeing it get even better as you perfect the format.

[@tanmad21]

16:12 "I did end up taking it down with a well-timed laugh combo." Not a phrase you hear everyday. LOL

[@LodeCos]

'You take over the corpse of the animal' is pretty hard core

[@darnelwashinton1295]

I loved this goofy game so much as a kid, but never got past that fish level. It also gave me horrific headaches and I could only play for like an hour before I had to stop. But it was so fun I still loved it! Was waiting for you to get to this game, gives me so much nostalgia! Thanks Thab.

[@ChetManly2047]

Man...this takes me back...My parents got me an N64 with this game for Christmas in 98. I was 10years old and was so happy. They got me goldeneye too! They just wanted a game to balance out the killing with some good puzzle based gaming. Love yah mom and dad ❤

[@mikeRedMDK2032]

I see why they decided on space station silicon valley as the name. "Play as a hostile version of every member of the animal kingdom" was just a tad too lengthy

[@philsurtees]

This was one of my favourite games, and it's truly underrated, because hardly anyone even knew it existed. I didn't know it was made by the people who started Rockstar, but I'm not surprised because it was a brilliant game...

[@riverjordan2010]

It’s either my love for the N64, the dead pan delivery, or the calm nature of walking us through my favorite childhood games, but I love this series! New subscriber for sure.

[@RJ-zl2kc]

Yes! I was really looking forward to this one. I remember renting this game from blockbuster back in the day with absolutely no idea what to expect. Only got to the ice levels before I had to return it (and didn't rent again) so it was interesting to see what happens in the rest of the game. Thanks for the cool video! I still maintain that this is one of the most bizarre games I've ever played, personally

[@DueNorthGaming]

I love the person in chat who said "the animals didn't die, they just got Windows Vista"

[@thepalagoon]

This game was all over Nintendo Power back in the day. I don't remember much about the game itself I just remember it was really cool for how groundbreaking and open it was.

[@Jack_80]

yeah, i vaguely remember playing it a little but never got very far in it. i think my friend rented it or something. it does look pretty revolutionary for it's time.

[@FLYWHEELPRIME]

I played the hell out of this game and Buck Bumble when I got sick of all the standard AAA games everybody knows from the 64. I'll be interested to see him go through Buck Bumble, it was a hell of a game.

[@KB8Killa]

​@@FLYWHEELPRIMEthat was the rental game for me. Loved the narrative of bugs fighting amongst each other

[@jdraco1687]

This was quite literally the very first video game I played as a young kid. I remember just playing around on the first stage switching between animals. Thanks for the video dude!

[@sanityormadness]

13:00 - Not shown, the time thab killed those Baby Penguins because he could, and then had to do the level over again since they needed to be alive for the souvenir! thabGreed

[@birchwood7557]

this was one of the most bizarre games i played as a kid, while having no idea what was going on. never actually beat it either. as soon i as i saw this uploaded you best believe i went directly to the vod, this is gonna be great to watch

[@Youtube_is_Trash]

Imagine seeing your lover being killed by a crashing spaceship then it's corpse suddenly start chasing you xD

[@joshbimthedoctor]

This definitely was a hidden gem. Never heard of this game until you played it

[@granddaddy_funk]

I loved this game as a kid

[@pronounsushistore]

Absolutely worth a play

[@skooges]

I've loved this game ever since randomly picking it up at a video rental store. It has such a huge amount of creativity, from the levels and objectives to the variety of animals, to the music and the visuals. I think the devs deserve a lot of credit for the art direction, in this generation I feel like a lot of people were just trying to get 3D objects to render on screen but this game has a distinctive and unique style. Even little details like the music being played on speakers in the level and being able to mute it by breaking them. I wish we saw indie games with this level of ambition today.

[@short600]

Best game play series on KZbin right now

[@dangusprime]

One time I was playing this game with my Mom in the other room. Apparently, without realising it until she got mad, I drove her crazy with the Hyena incessantly laughing over and over and over again lmao.

[@scotthoover1568]

Dude, I remember playing this game back as a kid, but hadn't thought about it since back then until I saw the thumbnail. So many memories watching this one! Love it!

[@jordonlees2]

Im just blown away somebody figured this game out

[@valeska_kevinleahy]

My memory of this game has been unlocked... wow!

[@zeusstormbolt8116]

I loved this one so much that I went and watched the whole VODs of it on your second channel!

[@calmplayer5043]

Space Station Silicon Valley the obscure N64 game, that nobody played as kid, but everybody wish, that they had

[@gamingwhilebroken2355]

I played it as a child

[@calmplayer5043]

@@gamingwhilebroken2355 do you have nice memories with it?

[@worldsboss]

So many games I’ve never heard of! That’s honestly one of the best things about this challenge.

[@Pearcinator]

The jungle level with the pit, I never got past that the intended way. What you were supposed to do is hit the rain switch and see the invisible path where the rain lands. Instead, I used the hyena to jump on top of the switch and then on top of the wall. You can then skip the whole pit but taking out the parrot with the hyena is very difficult!

[@richardhibert260]

My friend had this game and have always thought back to it as an adult. For some reason I thought it was Jet force Gemini, but of course as soon as I load it up it was clear it wasn't. Glad to know what it is now!!

[@chanic4621]

One of the best parts of Friday! Thanks ThaB and Craw!

[@CrawYT]

Yw :)

[@facesoffearbrewing1229]

Remember this game as a kid lol... Never knew how to get past these bears in one level...

[@wowritenow]

Thank you so much for giving access to your long play vods. Much much much appreciated, also love this series so much .

[@TheNoticer83]

One of my favorite N64 games. Totally flew under the radar but kept me engaged all the way through.

[@samthebroker]

I saw you play this on twitch and literally waited for you from the first few days of this challenge to draw this. Thanks for bringing back some nostalgia

[@scallaghan61]

Love the series, remember most of these games but a few like this slipped through the cracks as a kid. Impatiently waiting for 2 of my favorite games of all time, Doom 64 and Turok 2

[@bodie12333]

Hell yeah I've heard good things about Doom 64 but haven't played it. I use to love turok. I was wanting to ask how turok 2 compares to 1? Cause I've never played 2.

[@scallaghan61]

@@bodie12333 Turok 2 is pretty amazing considering the time and what they did while limited by the capabilities of the n64. Its massive and was a series that created some of the best weapons in video games like the cerebral bore among others. I think its a big step above the 1st game in my personal opinion. I look forward to seeing how long a playthrough of it takes and how long he gets stuck in lair of the blind ones, that level can be a pain. I actually bought the remakes of both Turok 2 and Doom 64 on xbox when they came out

[@bodie12333]

@@scallaghan61 hell yeah, that's dope you got 'em for xbox. How were they compared to the originals? Like did they update the graphics or something cause I feel like that would be weird. I'll have to check turok 2 out sometime. And there were so many weapons in turok. Are there a bunch of different ones in turok 2?

[@scallaghan61]

@@bodie12333 Im not sure they did a lot for doom but for Turok they made it a lot easier to find objectives and items you need to find. Lots of replaying levels to beat the game. Also lots of new weapons. Im trying to remember everything in Turok but unless im forgetting most weapons are new. I believe the pistol, shotgun, grenade launcher and tek bow are all that carried over. Gotta be 10 or so new weapons

[@bodie12333]

@@scallaghan61 Mkay, cool beans. I might have to check out a video of it sometime.

[@meezdoobie]

One of my favorite games ever. This series has been fantastic. Thank you ❤

[@joejack3823]

This game is so weird and unique. Surprised this is the first time I'm ever hearing of it

[@shadde519]

this game was waaaaay better than it needed to be. clunky controls aside ive been dying for a remaster of this for years

[@eccod]

This was my favorite N64 game as a kid. I still get the music stuck in my head sometimes.

[@smoaty4891]

This remains me favorite current series on KZbin. Love it. Keep it up.

[@TnT_F0X]

One of my favorite games.

[@IronyNinja]

God this is such good content. I played many games as a kid; I had a lot of time, I was pretty good at games, and I enjoyed them. But I wasn't allowed to buy many games, so I just rented them for a week at a time. This is one of the ones I never beat so I'm looking forward to seeing it all the way through! Edit after watching: I got stuck on the invisible pathway over lava; I thought I had missed something that could fly and I just kept re-doing the level trying to find it. I never realized there was an invisible floor. This game is full of terrible design decisions, but the core idea and the animal variety and stuff is so good! Ruined completely by brutal difficulty, horrific combat, and trial-and-error nonsense.

[@andrewoverhere8525]

The actual speakers in the game is one of the coolest features I've seen in a game. Ever

[@jasonparker346]

I used to play the king rat bit over and over again, so much fun commanding your subjects to attack

[@lukeb6394]

I loved this game man boy it brings back memories !! I used to play 64 with my brothers and friends I miss when you used to play together in the same room.

[@spamaccount6460]

I love the, "Number ___, what is THAT?" every time a new game gets selected lol

[@AnImAtEdCaRmInE]

I used to play this all the time as a kid, nobody else knew what I was talking about. Very cool to see it get some attention

[@tha_mau5]

Day 395 of appreciating Thab’s content. Thab is taking over all of these games one at a time.

[@starpetalarts6668]

"utlimate *behemoth* of a tank" Don't you think that went unnoticed.

[@sarahhumphrey9984]

My sister and I played and replayed this game a million times as kids. So many good memories ❤️

[@PlayerWon]

Loved this game as a kid! Good to see you playing of

[@AdamLikeGuitar]

Been watching the N64 series and been trying to remember why your name is so familiar. Finally realize I remember you from Scorehero back in 2008-2010. Great series brother.

[@trwijbenga]

I'd love to see the boxing kangaroo video man. Great content, I really enjoyed watching this video!

[@Imgema]

I love how the music comes from the speakers inside the levels. And when you destroy them you mute it.

[@staypuft27]

I was waiting for this one and blast corps! Nice one!

[@summerlaverdure]

this series is great, subbed

[@stich21]

Never heard of this game but it's one of the weirdest games I've ever seen.

[@Th3SP1C]

I had this game for n64 as kid and yea it was so much fun play

[@Borti_Ovi]

1:47 Ohp, I see where this is going! 6:23 Nevermind, nipped that problem right in the bud!

[@dimwarlock]

Tell me the genre and tone of the game only with this scene description: "A sheep and a dog in love, a spaceship crashes, killing the dog, alien takes control of the dog and uses it to kill the sheep so it can control it too"

[@RazorBladezX]

This game was so hard. I don't know it would be as an adult but man I could never beat the game before returning it to Blockbuster Just found your channel..i need to lurk to see if you went through any Bomberman games..those were so good!

[@adamnoakes2550]

12:42 In the ice world, the piano tune you need to play to get the gold trophy is a reference to the movie Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

[@fuzzylumpkins9506]

Love the series. Needed this. Great content man

[@sillywilly0169]

Love this fever dream game. Cant wait to see you beat the whole series

[@moleahjobe]

Your videos remind me of something from Rick and Morty’s inter dimensional cable

[@YoDz-117]

Right. Like his tone. Like his voice is always the same. Whether angry or sad or happy.

[@djwoolz1738]

I just started watching this series and I love it

[@Soonjai]

I have to say that the objective descriptions in this game are much better than what, let´s say, Super Mario 64 did. I mean, with stuff like "Get something Soft and Fluffy" or "Deactivate the big machine" and it becomes obvious what to do when in the level while "Shoot into the Wild Blue" from Whomp's Fortress is equal to saying "Yeet yourself out of the cannon, just figure it out"

[@Yupthereitism]

So glad you played this. Haven’t played this game in ages. Great game

[@BlueCheeseCrumbles]

Without fail after randomizing the game, beast cannot stop himself from saying "what the heck is that?!" Or "what is that?" 😆

[@dowingba]

Buuut, yeah.

[@LurkKlerk]

Body Harvest and This one, you can definitely see the sandbox-y elements. I remember seeing this one at blockbuster, but was NEVER in stock ha.

[@DirkParker]

I love this series, but I especially love seeing the games you’d already enjoyed when you were younger.

[@michaelbread5906]

Man, I can't wait till Thab plays Gex.

[@plmccorkindale]

this one deserves a remaster

[@thrillhouse4151]

This is one of those games I saw the box for in Blockbuster a lot, but never rented.

[@jasons1363]

when i found this channel i searched for this glad u played it … i loved this game as a jit

[@papabilby8855]

I can’t wait for Jet Force Gemini. Forgot all about that game til Thab brought it up last video.

This game held up even better than I expected! Really great game.

[@TheVergile]

this game always weirded me out as a kid….a friend had a copy and he absolutely loved it.

Looks like a mix of Super Mario and Ratchet & Clank

[@BoibiTheWeak]

I've been waiting for this game since you started the challenge. I remember renting this game from blockbuster. I could never get past the cod level.

[@benmaharaj6854]

A lot of novel concepts for a game at that time. My brother and I loved it.

I really wanted to play this back in the day, but the expansion pack bug kept me away from it, so I'm glad to see you play it.

Alright… earned my sub… you sir are magnificent and loving my absolute dream. Keep up the grind!

[@ryanwestmoreland9827]

Man I remember I had this game as a kid and could get through 95% of the game but could never figure out how to unlock that mission in the center of the space station. I used to be so mad 😩😩

[@Warrenoh]

Good job editor!! Keep it up

[@Relfar2]

Needs a reboot! What a kooky concept!

[@HereticPlays]

Thab, you inspired me to start this challenge, however I'm only doing NA games (296), but still, thank u for giving me a goal. also this was the first game i got on my wheel a bit long, some levels are a bit convoluted and directionless but overall pretty enjoyable.

[@Thabeast721]

Good luck! It’s been a lot of fun so far for me

[@westingtyler1]

when this game came out I was SUPPPPER excited about it, and to this day I have no idea why. the game is FINE, but I was like Skyrim-level hyped for some reason, and it baffles me because the game isn't too special. I remember finding it a bit tedious, and I think I got to the last level but could not beat it, I think because of a game-breaking soft lock bug forgotten by the devs.

[@Flameb0]

this was one of my favorite games as a kid

[@thedeaderer8791]

I loved this game I used to make clay sculptures of the animals. It was so frustrating cuz I had 99 percented it all except that one trophy u can't get it broke my Lil heart

I was worried when you said you where going to 100% it, but now that I know there's a patch, I might go through it again myself

[@funstuffonthenet5573]

I rented this from Blockbuster when I was a kid. This is a phenomenal game. The original Mario Odyssey mechanic

[@natefuller4039]

Early rockstar devs including a mini game as a reward is very on brand. I wonder if they used that shooter as inspiration for an arcade mini game in any of the Grand Theft autos.
