I know a lot people look forward to seeing their favorite N64 games, but I LOVE seeing the more obscure games like this too! It can be really hard to find information on a lot of games like this, so I really appreciate that your videos keep a historical record of them.
ThaB, I can't believe you played through this entire game without using any of the secondary weapons, haha. Before missions, I think you select a secondary, and then you can hold down A to charge up, then release A when it beeps to fire. There's a nuke, a laser, a flak cannon, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
This game got pretty abysmal review scores back in the day and I never cared enough to try it out. Thanks for playing this, spared me from doing so plus I finally know what this game is all about. Thank you!
One of the cool things about watching this challenge is seeing some games i remember not wanting to rent based on the boxart. This game looked like some Military Helicopter Sim or something, yeah i didnt even look at the back of the box! I never rented it. Seeing it was an on rails space shooter with a wacky plot, i would have loved this back in the day, and you can beat it in a weekend rental too!
There was no gun for N64 (or GameCube for that matter) because demand was low, with the technology mostly being relegated to arcade units, and the emergence of rear-projection TVs made the technology difficult to implement.
I remember playing this back in the day with my friend and his two brothers. The multiplayer was actually pretty fun, a bit chaotic with 4 crosshairs on the screen.
I've heard of a bunch of these games before (cause I'm a huge dork) but this is one I legitimately have never seen or heard of anyone talking about. This is why I love this series!
i think the creepy face is supposed to be like that face that they supposedly found on mars in the 70s but it was all just shadows, look it up, very interesting optical illusion.
I remember getting this game from a "Grabbeltisch", where they just throw games into a basket and sell them for ~20 D-Mark (roughly 10$) or less, I chose this over Virtual Chess and initially I was disappointed because it was like Star Fox light, but back in the day, you didn't have much choice so I played the hell out of it. I couldn't speak english back then, so I didn't understand the story and I didn't know you could dodge with the C-buttons, making stage 4 ridiculously hard, but when I learned to dodge it felt like the easiest game ever... still, the last 2 levels gave me a hard time... but yeah, one should get Star Fox instead, you just have more game with that.
I used to play this game with my brother a LOT back in the day, I don’t think I ever necessarily liked it but it was one of the only games we had so we rolled with it
@@continuallyblessed44 aidyn chronicles, i love this game... i think he will hate how slow the character moves lol but it's one of my favorite RPGs of all time.
Probably gonna have to wait a few years. He's streaming 90 games ahead of the videos and still hasn't gotten Ogre Battle yet. He beat Knife Edge: Nose Gunner over 10 months ago, and at the rate of one video per week he won't be putting up the latest games he's beaten until 2025.
Yeah Thab doesn't seem huge on that genre of game but as a Pokemon fan Puzzle League was LEGIT. I still have my copy and bust it out every now and then just for a few matches. Fun and relaxing puzzle game prior to the modern era where now games of that genre are all on smartphones and stuffed with microtransactions.
I actually liked the OG Tetris Attack better...Even if just for the better feeling controller...I remember renting Puzzle League back in the day and liking it pretty well...but for a re-skinned SNES game...there was very little content IIRC...but multiplayer was always a blast...
Whoa...next week is gonna be Fuuuuuuunnnn...Pokemon Puzzle League is basically a reskinned Tetris Attack...I wore out multiple controllers playing TA...especially when you get to the harder modes and the AI just starts dumping block after block onto you...but it might be the most zen game ever in a way...I played it so much, I eventually went into a kind of trance state where I wasn't even looking at the blocks anymore...I would unfocus my eyes like doing one of those MagicEye pictures and just flip blocks almost subconsciously...The original is my absolute favorite puzzle game...Though, I seem to remember being disappointed a bit with the lack of content in PPL when I rented it at Blockbuster back in the day...
Fun fact: Japanese doesn’t do plurals the way we do in English. To do plurals in their character based language, you add the character for “many” or “some”. So, “dollar” becomes “many dollar” not “dollars.” This is perhaps why a direct translation makes it seem odd to us-10000 point!
Ooooh I have Knife's Edge! I loved it as a kid. Was a pretty massive Star Fox fan but that game gets fairly easy after a while. I also had completely beat Rogue Squadron and its Episode 1 cousin but never got to the end of Knife's Edge.
I'd like to say your videos are peaceful and that I look forward to them but I'm pretty sure I'm site wide shadow banned and you'll never see this (my last 50 comments had zero interactions)
Pokemon puzzle league is one of my favorite n64 games ^_^. Just so you know you gotta beat atleast very hard to count it as complete, super hard is just overkill though since they just use the a.i of the last very hard computer but on all of them. But on very hard you will fight all the ai available. Take your time with it though, it's not a game that clicks right away, your in for a good time.
Fun fact: this is one of the few N64 games that's completely unplayable on emulators. It's due to some hard-to-fix timing bugs that only majorly affect this game and cause it to go super fast. Which is a shame since this is the one game on the N64 that would be way better played with a mouse.
Going to hazard a guess that Nintendo didn't a gun accessory for their console by the N64 era. Columbine and whatnot. N64 was seen as a super family friendly console back then.
@Thabeast721 also I need advice as I see you are easily accessing the 54 never released to united states games I cannot get my hands on, E.G Hampsters/Trains I know I can buy them on Ebay, but how do I get them affordably in an all in one cart? like I have for the other 340 games
