Hey Quest 64! I almost beat this game as a kid, I think I was renting it.
I miss Blast Corps and Body Harvest as well, so many unique games on N64. Body Harvest was a clear predecessor to the 3D GTA games, being able to jump into any vehicle felt insane at the time.
Blast Corps was my favorite single player game on the system that wasn’t Ocarina of Time. Though, I still think the ending to the story was awful and anti-climatic.
This game was the only one that managed to give me motion sickness. I don’t know what was up with the graphics, but I felt nauseous after watching my brother play it for a few hours. Maybe it was all the flashing lights, small fonts, repetitive music, and confusing camera angles.
Quest 64 is my FAVORITE “bad” game! The difficulty spikes were annoying, the damn island that traps you there until you kill a boss is always stronger than I am, the game drones on near the end, but there was nothing like that combat system on the N64! I want a modern remake to solve the many problems plaguing this game!
I had it, but I had no idea what I was doing, so I didn’t make it very far.
I don’t remember if this came out before or after we got internet at home (and I never had the Nintendo Power magazine), so there wasn’t much to do about that.
I remember from talks had during some speed runs I watched that there were a few viable builds. You could do fire/earth for melee or water/wind with a little bit of earth which is what I did in my playthrough. I definitely cheesed the movement stat though.
I didn’t play anything past mario 64 back in the day, unfortunately. I was a teenager and had decided to “move on” to xbox games. Playing Sunshine and Galaxy in the Super Collection was really fun though!
I have a friend who just consumes his video games and moves on. I like to replay over and over really wring out that dopamine. He ridicules that I still fire up StarCraft 2 for some co-op maps from time to time, eww he says a 20 year old game?
StarCraft 2? I mean I still play Total Annihilation or Beyond All Reason, StarCraft 2 is practically a totally new game!
The nice thing about old things is that generally people only bother to keep returning to the good old things and the bad old things fade away and are forgotten, also the communities around old things while small tend to be very friendly and toxic people are muchhhhhh less common than with popular new games.
I just played sc2 co-op for the first time in 3 years a couple nights ago. Something about making a giant army and smashing it against another giant army is just fun.
