Friends over at Hardcore Gaming 101 @hg101.bsky.social have a new episode up today with Quest 64! I haven't listened to it yet, so let's be surprised together lol www.hardcoregaming101.net/podcasts/top...

July 14 1999, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber debuted in Japan! Ogre Battle creator Yasumi Matsuno planned for the game to combine elements of the first two entries and be more mainstream. Development in this direction led him to leave for Square, making FF Tactics and Vagrant Story!

People get wild in my comments section . 🤣

July 13 2000, International Track & Field 2000 debuted on the N64 in Japan! For people who haven't played, this game is button mashing and stick spinning multiplayer hell on steroids; like Mario Party without the game board. Honestly worth your time to try this one with friends!

The Sinking City 2 is coming to GOG on August 18th, 2026. https://bit.ly/sinking_city_2 Pre-order now to get the Chthonic Arsenal: the “Shale Mary” handgun, the “Breakwater” shotgun, and the “Tektite Tommy” SMG, each with its own look and features!

It’s really funny when someone misinterprets your video, and leaves a pretty rough comment , and then you explain to them what you were saying and they realized they goofed up, but rather than acknowledge that they just delete their comment. I get it though, but man …. This was all avoidable.

July 12 2000, Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals debuted on the N64 in the Americas! The game was initially a Blockbuster Video rental exclusive, but eventually was sold at some retail outlets after poor rental numbers. The NTSC-J version also used the Gameboy Transfer Pak to unlock Megatron X!

Games no longer come on discs Now they all come on flashdrives They can even come with fun shells with a big place for the label And they'll look good on a shelf Kinda like this

If we get one more request to have Quest64 in our RPG Zone or Hooters Racing in our Pit Stop racing game section…. Check out some of the expanded curated gaming zones at this year’s expo, August 7-9. LIRetro.com

Brandon Sheffield on a generational joke tear

The Wisconsin version of this is leaving the state and ordering a Blood Mary.....only to find out you don't get a free beer with it. What do you mean I have to drink a whole glass of vegetables and alcohol and I don't have a beer to wash it down?

Follow up by Imagineer to Quest 64! Deffo worth the play, love that so many of the comments are "I heard It Sucks"...that's how you know it's good

July 10 1998, Star Soldier Vanishing Earth debuted on the N64 in Japan! An entry of the Star Soldier series and a sequel to Soldier Blade on TG16/PC Engine, there was also an arcade version released for Seta's Aleck 64! Reviews were mixed, Joypad in France was NOT impressed! (below in comments)

I like my job And yet Every day

This episode of Into the Aether @intothecast.bsky.social has BOTH QUEST 64 AND QUEST 65 call outs It's a rare treat getting both in the wild like this. Listen, if you will intothecast.transistor.fm/episodes/tha...

PlayStation has literally lost the next generation and it hasn’t even begun yet.

July 9th 1999, Eltale Monsters debuted on the N64 in Japan, almost a year after Quest 64! There is a laundry list of differences in the games,besides the cool box art, that I'll include below! HAPPY ELTALE DAY EVERYONE!

The only thing I disagree with this map is you can name your kid Nevada , but the last name better be Smith.

Glad I bought a house 11 years ago when they were still affordable.

In case you decide to climb out that window (Quest 64, Prima Guide, 1998)

July 8 1997, Dark Rift debuted on the N64 in the Americas! Dark Rift is notable for being the first N64 game to use 60 frames per second and is commonly referenced as the Nintendo 64's first native fighting game... though it was first developed for the Sega Saturn (and then later cancelled)!
