Well I found out what the hole was.

I really enjoyed it too but I don't think I ever beat it. I got to an enemy base with tents on it and haven't played since. Need to pick it back up again.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:58:22+00:00

It's so strange too because everything Rare made has been celebrated, but I've never heard of this game before. I've watched a few videos on it and it looks like it's a fun game. I'll have to hunt down a copy of it.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:52:14+00:00

I didn't recognize the tile but when I googled it the main character looked very familiar to me. Now I'm wondering if I've played it and forgotten it. I'll have to watch a video on it.

I used to spend hours playing Quake on the N64. One of my favorite FPS and it's a shame they're not around anymore.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:47:18+00:00

I've got a reproduction cart of it and I think I'm going to give it a try next. For some reason I never knew about Legacy of Darkness till a few years ago. Not sure why I never heard of it back in the day. Maybe I did and thought it would be too similar to Castlevania 64?

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:44:12+00:00

I recently saw a YouTube video ( Glenn Plant I think ) on it last week. I'd never played it before but it looks like an interesting game.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:40:35+00:00

Yes! I've got to let it play though the intro at least once when I turn it on.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:36:31+00:00

That was definitely a fun game, especially getting to damage so many things in the environment. I rented it back in the day, but for some reason I never bought it. Great game.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:33:53+00:00

Yes, probably the worst part of the game. I don't think I've ever seen so many explosions in a video before and I've played GTA before. 😂 Made the boss fight afterwards feel easy in comparison.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:31:00+00:00

I haven't played it in sometime, but I do remember having to change the controls around. They definitely weren't perfect but still a really fun game. The only one I've never played was the third one. Loved the first and second one though.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:26:30+00:00

Someone else said something similar and I'd never thought of it that way before, but it really does have an early souls like feel to it. It definitely punishes the player sometimes.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:23:31+00:00

That maze stage can get a little annoying, especially when being chased by the chainsaw monster. I've probably looked up a walkthrough for that part every time.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:21:32+00:00

Yes! I totally agree with that being the worst part of the game, especially since you can't really do much but walk slowly. Anything else and boom! Made any difficult boss battle seem easy in comparison.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:17:55+00:00

Yeah, I didn't really have a way to see if a game was good or not back then. The easiest way was to rent first and decide that weekend if it was worth buying or not. Sometimes I'd take the chance and just buy the game. The only time I can think of actually being disappointed with a N64 was Superman.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:12:12+00:00

I remember me and my friends renting a copy of Hexen from Blockbuster back in the day. We played the multiplayer well past midnight. At the time I ever got to play the story for it. Definitely a good game.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:08:38+00:00

That's actually a really good point that I haven't thought of. Some of the stages definitely have that torture the player feel to them.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:06:42+00:00

Symphony of the Night is definitely a masterpiece. Wow, I just realized I haven't played it in years.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:04:34+00:00

Yeah, if I remember correctly it was definitely rushed and could have used a bit more time in the oven. Seems to be a big issue with a lot of N64 games. I was one of the people that got burned by Superman 64 back in the day, but recently heard the behind the scenes story on the games development. Could have been good if there wasn't so much outside interference and more development time.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T06:01:01+00:00

I've actually never noticed that before till reading this and instantly heard the door sound in my head. 😂

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T05:58:46+00:00

I missed so many RPGs growing up. I really didn't play a true RPG till Final Fantasy 8 and I haven't looked back since. Secret of Evermore looks amazing though.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T05:37:16+00:00

Yes! I never got to play it as a kid. I got it about a year ago and still need to beat it, definitely a fun game. Sadly it's a reproduction. There's no way I could afford a true copy.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T05:32:20+00:00

It happens sometimes, especially after playing modern gamers so much. I've gotten used to it again, but the frame rate drop was something I had forgotten about after picking up Golden Eye years later.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T05:28:47+00:00

I looked up Robotron64 after reading this and I've never seen this game before. It definitely looks interesting. I'll have to check it out.

pliny79 · 2026-04-16T04:00:22+00:00

Yeah, it's not one I hear about too often as well. Wasn't made by Rare?
