Very nice, that game always kicks my ass in the Hard mode. What's your secret?
I second SH's curiosity. I started that one the other day for kicks, thinking it might be an easy/quick one to knock off in an hour or so. Not so. At least for me.
I started it after being frustrated with micro machines. Got the game recently, wanted to try it. Easy levels weren't too bad. Medium was tougher, the Damn secret path in the car east was a pain to hit perfectly. Then hard was a pain.
Honestly took hours. I would do a dry run through, not trying to beat anything. I just looked for the secret spots and where all the boosts were. Commit that to memory and then just keep playing the level. If I made 1 mistake, I'd just start over. There was no point in finishing the race as you couldn't win. Ship graveyard and new York disaster took the longest. I had to take a break with the latter, had to be so perfect. Was very frustrating. Actually beat it on my last attempt before going to work for the night.
The bonus levels were actually really easy. Nile adventure, while long, is forgiving as long as you do the 2 secret paths.
Destruction Derby 64 is done. Pretty fun, but short and really easy. There wasn't much to take a pic of at the end, just credits and "Thanks for playing!"
I'm about 3/4 done with Conker, in the middle of the Spooky part. My progress was delayed by about 2 hours since I was $100 short for Mr Barrel and I spent last night looking for missing money. It was on top of Bat's Tower. I always seem to miss that one!
Extreme-G 2 is done. Unlike last year, I didn't have any trouble beating it. I did it today and it went really well. I would say it is a very good game, because it is challenging and that's what I like the most about a game. Also, the levels are very nice and are unique. The only thing I truly dislike about it is the fact that when you hit a wall, you sometimes go in the opposite way. Because of this, I lost a few races and you need to be number 1 in every race in the Mirror Mode (the final mode). Great soundtrack too.
Very good game.
No credits, but from what I've seen on other websites, unlocking a character is finishing the game.
I'll be starting winback later today. Very fun game if you haven't played it.
Really want to try this one sometime. Have had it for awhile.
If you want to play it don't let me stop you. I don't get to pick what game I play next because of my stream. It is a fun game often overlooked. Had a sequal on the ps2.
Working on Castlevania 64 now. I still don;t understand the hate this game gets. The game plays VERY well. I made it halfway through the game last night without a single death. I'll probably finish it tonight or tomorrow night.

I hope you aren't playing on easy. You get to a point in the game and it goes yeah... We are done here go back and play on normal to get the last 2 or 3 levels to actually beat the game.

Nope, I'm playing on Normal. I never play on Easy, though I did play on Easy once years ago because it was my first Castlevania and I wasn't sure what to expect. I did get to that point. SUPER LAME. What's the point if it doesn't even let you finish the game? Lol
I was working on Castlevania but I've encountered a weird glitch - I wonder if anyone here has encountered this before. When I go to load the saved file, my character just immediately dies. So where I am, I'm stuck because I can't load my file because I'll just die and get game over. So I mean I can start over but that glitch really put a damper in my enthusiasm for the game right now. I think I'll look at other games I haven't played in a while (or at all).
Finished Conker's Bad Fur Day last night at 3 in the morning.
That ending always gets me... Such a meaningful message.
It is a great ending and a great message. I also love that the way you defeat the alien at the end is the same way Mario defeats Bowser in Super Mario 64... Swing em by the tail! Something about that really hit home with me. It's like they wanted the N64 to go out the same way it came in... Swingin'. Conker is also one of the few games I could play again immediately after I finished it. I love it that much. Lol
I'm working on Mischief Makers which seems to be becoming a perennial favorite as I know it very well and really enjoy it.

I've had something similar happen to me. Tomb Raider Legend has a glitch on one of the bosses that makes it impossible to beat and if you saved your game after causing the glitch to happen, you are SOL. I gave up, but was too frustrated to start over from the beginning. It was probably at least a year or maybe two before I tried to play the game again all the way through. Sometimes it helps to save the same game in multiple slots as a backup (for the games that allow you to do that).
I just started Hybrid Heaven and I'm not too sure if I'm gonna like it yet. But I'm gonna give it a chance. If I really hate it I'm moving onto a different game.
Oh I just realized I played and beat Mario Party 2 about 2 weeks ago. For some reason I thought someone already finished it. So that one can be marked as completed. I'm not really liking Hybrid Heaven so I'll probably move on to something else soon. I'd like to try and tackle Jet Force Gemini again, as I tried to finish it last year but couldn't.
Who's taking Earthworm Jim 3D lol. I beat that one not too long ago ( not this year, unfortunately ), not really looking forward to revisiting it due to the Pork Boarding levels.
This might surprise a few, but I've never played this game before. I have to say that I enjoyed this game from start to finish. I really feel like I missed out by not playing this game before. I'm really looking forward to The Thousand Year Door (which I also haven't played).

Not sure what to jump into next. Probably just pull a random game out.

Next 2 games on my list are Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 and Turok 2
WCW vs NWO: World Tour
WCW/NWO Revenge
These games were a blast to play
