Beating EVERY N64 Game - Destruction Derby 64 (163/394) 

If you kill all cars, to end the race with a "congratulations" and a huge bonus, you just need to finish your lap and take a victory lap with whatever checkpoint entropy you have left

I have DD64 and let me tell you, my Dad and I had so many amazing memories of playing it together. I still have "ghost" races saved from when we played together, which is awesome because he passed away back in 2015 but I have some cool leftover demo reels of us together playing. Deff one of my all-time faves. The simplicity makes it worthwhile. Sometimes "keeping it simple, stupid" really is all you need in a video game.

I'm impressed by the draw distance this game has. It's almost like a modern racing game with zero pop-up.

the “Bomb Tag” multiplayer mode in this was incredible, and I’m shocked that it’s never been ripped off by modern titles

The PS2 version of this game is an absolute hidden gem. It introduces a story, characters and items. Such a fantastic overlooked game.

Moving to the marble race for game selection was such a good choice.

This seems quite a bit different than Destruction Derby for the Playstation, or maybe I played it wrong? You got points for winning the races but you could be damaged or destroyed, and then during each circuit I believe it also included the more traditional bowl/arena demolition derbies.

Considering you are 163 games in i am kinda impressed by how few truly great games you've had so far.

Can confirm, this game was a blast with friends. We would time the jumps on the Aztec map so we’d collide in midair. I remember the ambulance being my favorite.

I actually really enjoyed Virtual Chess 64 as a kid. I only understood the basics of chess but it was fun to see the pieces attack each other. Can't wait for the video!

Twisted Metal music in the montages was a good choice.

Lol the cover art for virtual chess caught me by surprise.

3:40 must be the Boeing factory. Awesome video!

had this on 64 and loved it. I still go back every now and then and listen to the ost, it rips

Thabs lil grin at 9:15 when he destroyed that car. Also he sounded like an auctioneer towards the end. You could become one how smooth that was

It's such a wild artifact of its time that the announcer says "Can't we all just get along?" (For those who weren't around then - this is a reference to a speech made on TV by Rodney King in 1992 with the idea of calming down the riots happening in Los Angeles at the time in his name. The riots started because when he was arrested for drunk driving the police offers really severely and excessively beat him, arguably influenced by the fact that he was Black, it was caught on video, and then they were acquitted. King was not a well man, and he was brain damaged from the beating, plus he wasn't a public figure or anything, so his speech to try to stop the riots came across as mumbled, out of touch and unrealistically and inappropriately good-natured for the situation, so it became a joke - paraphrased as "Can't we all just get along?" and was widely used on TV and by people in general for years. It's the kind of joke that would absolutely not fly today, but it was a different time. And here it is immortalized in a 90s video game about car crashes.)

He can't possibly mean ALL of them 😮

That box art for Virtual Chess 54 is HIDEOUS. lolz Whoever made it needs a spanking.

Broo. I loved this game as a kid. So much fun in multiplayer. Especially the game where you had a bomb with a timer on your car until you crashed into another car

Hey Man! Thank you so much for inspiring me to do livestream of n64 games, I was so scared for such a long time but after watching you I got the courage! Thanks man!

That was not the cover art I was expecting for next week's game!

Chess huh. Shogi coming in 4th seems like an omen for the future.

I can't wait for Road Rash!

Watching the random generator was a lot more fun than that Snoozefest 64 game.

One of my favorite games growing up. We used to make fun of the woman yelling check point 😂

Great video, these demo derby games were so fun. I loved the Twisted Metal 2 music you played during the crash montage.

you really don't realize the vast majority of N64 games were sports games and shitty driving games until you see someone play every single N64 game

You mean ALL of them? Get Guinness on the Phone! As someone who did play the multiplayer mode with their brothers as a kid, it is indeed a fun experience, unless somebody picks the Ambulance because that thing is literally unkillable, it's the equivalent of picking Oddjob in Goldeneye. (also the time trial is fun for a challenge I guess)

Probably my favorite ongoing series on RU-vid. Keep chipping away!

Been waiting for this one

0:22 Looking Glass Studios? As in Ultima, System Shock and Thief- Looking Glass Studios???

Instant nostalgia, it's a very simple concept and not very in depth but still fun to pop in the console from time to time.

the bomb tag multiplayer was my favorite part of this game

Wait until we get to the end and the marble race is just all classics. Every race is going to be white knuckle, edge-of-your-seat entertainment.

I love the twisted metal sound track in the montage

Hell yeah it's that time of the week again! 2AM here in New Zealand when I can't sleep. Let's goooo!

Great vid, thab!

This was one of the games I rented from Blockbuster back in the day. I honestly forgot it had a “racing” mode to it. I only did the arena demo mode but enjoyed it for the weekend I had it. Also played against another kid but it wasn’t as fun because we did 1 v 1 and was a lot of just chasing. But made that’s just the mode we did so it could have been more fun with bots.

I was waiting for this one, I have such good memories playing it.

The crash montage with the twisted metal 2 music tracks is legendary, perfect for the gameplay 😎

Loved this game, it's one I revisit every often. It's closest spiritual successor I've played is Wreckfest, which I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun online wreck derby with better graphics experience.

The hardest part was always unlocking the other cars with the time trials! I remember playing runs over and over again to get the hot rod and the police car especially

I have endless memories playing this game with friends every summer break. This and super smash 64, were the best multiplayer on the console.

I played this game all the time as a kid and NEVER did the races. I would just do the Destruction Derby over and over and over. Great underrated game.

A similar game with racing and mayhem like this is Crash n Burn for Ps2 and Xbox and the destruction aspect is so satisfying.

It feels like this game wasnt made to binge play. Gameplay looks fun for a few min, but then jde want to do something else lol. Yet it's chaotic enough ide want to come back to it.

I'm sure a million people have probably already mentioned this, but in real demolition derby the guys tend to back into each other so they hit them with the back of the car and don't blow the front end out with the engine in the steering right away. After the back of the car gets destroyed then they can start it guys with the front of their car because they'll tend to have like a Lincoln Town car or a Cadillac from the same time period. I don't know how realistic the game was, but I wonder if you were backing into people, if you would have lasted longer in those earlier matches. You were going dead nuts had to head game of Chicken in the early races lol

Let's go these are my favorite videos

This is a game I loved so much as a kid after renting that I had to buy it. I still come back to it to this day.

I'm so happy you got to play something fun this time after last week

Your editing and presentation skills have grown to the point that you can make watching a comparatively lame game a worthwhile experience Thab. Keep on truckin'.

Destruction Derby Raw was one of my favorite ps1 games never knew there was a 64game

Nice driving ace

You need to tell a T-shirt that says “That’s about all there is for this one. Game complete!”

Your channel has me addicted.

This feels like a precursor to the Flatout series.

Bomb tag on junkyard was the best part of this game. So many hours into that

Been loving the journey so far man, I know you're not even halfway through but Im going to somehow convince you to playthough the PSX library next. Theres like 1300 lol

Nice touch with the twisted metal music.

i used to play this game so much in my early teens. Amazing game to play with friends.

You are the best Thab

I played this game soooo much love to see it again

I played this game a bunch when I was a kid i was hooked on it!

I was hoping you'd do the Bomb Tag mode. It's an arena map where one person starts with a bomb and if they touch another car they pass the bomb. It's like a hot potato style game to not be the one holding the bomb when it finally goes off. It gets pretty intense, but like you said, becomes more interesting in split screen.

Woah this is way different from the PS1 games.

Dope!

Tremendous!

I had this game on the PS1 but I only remember crashing into cars in the same small ring. Still very fun.

Loved this game as a kid.

Multiplayer's bomb tag mode is AWESOME lol i love the announcer when i qas a kid

Finally a classic, ahh the figure 8 track that's the stuff.

I remember this fondly

I love the crash montage

I played this game with a racing wheel back in the day. So much fun

Ahh yea Twisted Metal soundtrack bonus too!

I never see ogre battle 64 in this race and I can't wait for you to play that even though it's going to be a long video for you to make cause it's the only real RPG on the console.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the track Alpine Ridge is the name of one of the levels from Spyro the Dragon. I guess they could get away with using it.

Looking Glass? The Same guys who did thief and system shock? Hells yeah they'd make an awesome car wrecking game. I need to find it.

I love chess, can't wait to see your theory :D

The Muliplayer is a really good time for this game, love me some Bomb Tag.

Can’t wait for next week! I hope there is an easy mode

My step dad and his side of the family actually do demolition derbies in real life so this game is extra cool for me lol

I had so much fun as a kid on this one playing multiplayer arena courses.

You're awesome

There is a board game called Thunder Road Vendeta that is like this game and mad max combined. Tons of fun and chaotic.

Loved this game as a child, played so much

this series is one of the most ambitious things ive ever seen someone do for fun.

Oh yeahhhhhh

Honestly this game looks like a lot of fun for a weekend

Y am I JUST NOW getting the notification?? This vid has been out for AN HOUUUR!

"Clear condition is defeat Magnus Carlsen". Ha! Good luck on that buddy. Stockfish is your friend.

Finally confirmed Ogre Battle 64 is on the list 😂!

Super hyped for Chess 64!!!

Metal thab racing

Wrestling vs chess at the end? Lol

twisted metal 2 music thrown in, nice.

This looks fun. I'll pick it up, if I can find it.

Lets Go !!!

Nice. Virtual chess easily in the top 10 games, right up there with banjo Kazooie and Goldeneye. Probably

Me and my brother rented this more than once growing up for the multi-player.
