With as many horrible N64 games there are, adding the marble race at the end of these was such a great decision. I wasn't keen to them at first but man they are so good!! Keep it up THAB!
JM Supercross '98 was the very first game I had ever played at 7 years old on a PS1 that my mother rented, yes, rented. None of the tracks resembled real tracks and it was arguably worse than this, but 7-10 year old me didnt care 😂 love seeing the throwback
Oh no, I knew this day would come. When I learned about Thab and his N64 challenge, I did some research about the worst N64 games. And Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue was in every single top 10 I found. It's not as bad as Superman 64 but worse then Batman Beyond, and that's saying a lot. I really wish Thab luck with that one. I really do.
1:13 Seeing this, I finally understood what "CC" stands for in Mario Kart league names! (Cubic Centimeters or Cubic Capacity, engine's displacement which roughly defines its power)
I would watch another one of these videos, but I've already watched them all already. So glad these are back to the weekly release schedule, I love watching these every Friday. I will be here to the end.
Yo, Thab... checking in from Michigan. we DO have the best dirt!!! it has to do with the glaciers and Great Lakes. you should definitely take some time to come up here and visit. true hidden gem of a spot.
I am eating every lunch to this series. And I mean all of them. The twist is, the next meal I eat is randomly selected so I have no idea what I’m eating next.
My bro and I played this game a ton as kids, and was cracking up how lame it is now! 😂 I’ve watched all of this series, keep it up! Fun going down memory lane with these videos
Acclaim on the 64 is like the student turning in their first draft essay with spelling with errors to the teacher and satisfied with getting a C because they spent no time on it.
No, they made a bunch of good games too. In fact, many of them had excellent graphics. For example, the entire Turok franchise, or their baseball games. Their baseball game (or games) were some of the only N64 games which actually found a way to improve the load times and the frame-rate if you were using the RAM upgrade (expansion pak), which shows that at least some of their developers knew a lot more about how to program games for the N64 than most other devs did.
The story of Acclaim on the N64 is very interesting. They acquired a bunch of studios that knew what they were doing as well as some IP like Turok and Shadowman. Then they kinda imploded due to poor management? Read the Controversies section on their Wikipedia page it's wild
I had this game as a kid and yes, I liked it because I stood a chance at winning. I remember doing the trick mode the most. It probably also helped that I liked Motorcross as a kid and thought Jeremy McGrath was awesome.
Hey, don't say all Acclaim games are not great! Re-Volt is one of the best racing games of all time! Just don't judge it on the N64 version, the PC and Dreamcast versions are much better
Acclaim came out of the N64 gate early really strong with Extreme G and Turok, followed up with some great sequels, then tried to cash in with cookie cutter sequels and licensed games.
I've actually been to the motocross in Washougal ! I quit my job selling sausages , used my vendor wristband to just hang out watching motocross...i had to hitchhike back to Portland since i rode there with the guy i was selling sausage for. Really fun day , basically i got paid 50$ to go watch motocross...
The mini-montage of jumps to win races was pretty fun (around 4:40). Great video for a terrible game. I don't remember power rangers light speed rescue from the stream, so excited for the video.
I finally caught up after starting your series back in July. I'm going to need you to upload faster because now I'm very impatient for the next one! Keep up the good work.
So the outdoor tracks are real tracks! That’s why they feel better. In fact Motocross 338 (Southwick as it’s known), Redbud (the campers are actually visible and a big part of the culture there), Washougal, Buds Creek, and Spring Creek (those bumps are the infamous sand whoops!) are all still on the schedule. Glen Helen is still around but the owners have dispute with the AMA so no pro races for now. Broome Tioga was removed as it pretty much lines up with Unadilla for region Steel City is defunct!
I hope you do beating every dreamcast game once you are done beating every N64 game, albeit you will need the origional gdroms since the roms took out 1/4 of the content to fit on cds. And yes as someone who had a dreamcast until 3 years ago and tried playing the roms the roms are practically unplayable.
I am going to bet the next game isn't going to be positive for this youtuber. I got it from a brother's friend as a kid thinking that it was going to be awesome. Beat it in like 10 minutes. Rule of thumb for any game! Don't tell the gamer what to do, let him figure it out on his own! "over here" alright!"
This game is already pretty shallow and lacking in content, but it really confuses me that when Acclaim ported it to the more powerful Dreamcast they still left it the exact same aside from a moderate resolution upgrade lol
> "I really don't see any reason to touch this game unless you have some severe nostalgia for it..." What if you challenged yourself to beat every N64 game (and I mean all of them)? Isn't that a reason? thabT
I love that these are always released early in the day because it's become a tradition to watch as I eat lunch every Friday
I live in New Zealand, it's 2AM here and I can't sleep. Let's funkin' go!
@@Roflcrabshush little kiwi don't say a word, papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird....
Friday night for me in Australia - weekly highlight!
For me (Japan) it's in the evening after I get off of work, so it's perfect.
I work from home, so my Friday shifts are always the best in the morning with these new videos haha
With as many horrible N64 games there are, adding the marble race at the end of these was such a great decision. I wasn't keen to them at first but man they are so good!! Keep it up THAB!
Ya but is it worth no longer hearing “243! What is that?”
@@profedelasmontanas9023 true! What if the marble races were just the numbers and at the the end he announced the “What is that?” 🤯
@@jimrush8652you are a genius
@@jimrush8652 agreed, we need “what is that?” To make a comback
Agreed. It grew on me.
Sometimes I watch these videos just for the marble race. I was glued to my seat!!
Thab is an insanely good announcer
You can't skip the marble race. That's like dessert.
I bet he and raysfire would be a good duo for announcing a kaizo race.
While I love the base video, the marble race is definitely my favorite part. Always end with a smile.
After an entire video of "and then I held the A button and got first place" a good marble race was _necessary_!
This challenge is so amazing. Watching the weekly episode is really one of my highlights I am looking forward to.

Oh god the next game is a hot mess. Got it as a kid at a flea market for $5 and I still thought I got ripped off.
😂
$5 was quite a lot as a kid😢
I got it new lol
I played it recently, it's not that bad. It's pretty short though and I will most likely never play it again

Marble race stole the show this episode
I would watch another one of these videos, but I've already watched them all already. So glad these are back to the weekly release schedule, I love watching these every Friday. I will be here to the end.
I just spent a whole week moving, so hopefully I can keep up!
When you said you’ve watched them all already, did you mean ALL of them?
You can tell how good an N64 gane is by how much you're looking forward to the marble race ;)
can we acknowledge that travis has been a staple in action spots for a quarter of a century now. thats wild
Yo, Thab...
checking in from Michigan. we DO have the best dirt!!!
it has to do with the glaciers and Great Lakes.
you should definitely take some time to come up here and visit. true hidden gem of a spot.
And the sand is so great that Florida imported it.
The excitement of that marble race was definitely the highlight.
After hours of deliberation, the jury has come to the conclusion that he DOES indeed mean all of them

Acclaim published some good stuff on the N64. The Turok games, Forsaken, Shadow Man, and Extreme-G come to mind.
I love how 3rd place on the podium is so much lower than 1 and 2. It’s more insulting than finishing in 4th or worse. 😂
It's great to find this series. Can't wait to see your opinion of Conker's bad Fur Day and Paper Mario. Some of my childhood favorites.
I realize that during the marble race im yelling like its a UFC fight or something 😂
I had this game as a kid and yes, I liked it because I stood a chance at winning.
I remember doing the trick mode the most.
It probably also helped that I liked Motorcross as a kid and thought Jeremy McGrath was awesome.

I really love watching this series and eagerly await for the big name games to be featured

I quit my job selling sausages , used my vendor wristband to just hang out watching motocross...i had to hitchhike back to Portland since i rode there with the guy i was selling sausage for. Really fun day , basically i got paid 50$ to go watch motocross...
Glad my home state has the best track
Love these videos. This is my favorite series to binge right now.
I really wait for these, so much fun on a Friday morning. Hope you're well Thab!!
These Marble races are so good. Oh my god, this was probably the best one yet.
The marble race gives me high doses of dopamine. 😂
Sadly, the marble race was more exciting than the game. LOL. You're the best beast.
It is wild to have played as many hours of mahjong on N64 as you have and have there still be a game you haven’t played called Mahjong 64.
The mini-montage of jumps to win races was pretty fun (around 4:40). Great video for a terrible game. I don't remember power rangers light speed rescue from the stream, so excited for the video.
Love watching these on friday mornings
I finally caught up after starting your series back in July. I'm going to need you to upload faster because now I'm very impatient for the next one!
Keep up the good work.
Oof light speed rescue? I feel so sorry for you
That marble race what the best thing I’ve watched all year
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue?
YAY!!!!!!
(If you know, you know.)
*IT'S JUST BAD!*
I'm predicting excessive levels of "YAY!" in next week's video.
That marble race was more exciting than any from the motocross game, lol.
Every teenage boy back in the day was also #69😂
So the outdoor tracks are real tracks! That’s why they feel better. In fact Motocross 338 (Southwick as it’s known), Redbud (the campers are actually visible and a big part of the culture there), Washougal, Buds Creek, and Spring Creek (those bumps are the infamous sand whoops!) are all still on the schedule.
Glen Helen is still around but the owners have dispute with the AMA so no pro races for now.
Broome Tioga was removed as it pretty much lines up with Unadilla for region
Steel City is defunct!
This series has really opened my eyes to how many crap sports games there were on this system. It's kinda depressing, honestly.
One of the reasons I got this game was because the cart was red and I wanted to use it as the shell for my everdrive.
You should get a sports betting site to sponsor that marble race
I hope you do beating every dreamcast game once you are done beating every N64 game, albeit you will need the origional gdroms since the roms took out 1/4 of the content to fit on cds. And yes as someone who had a dreamcast until 3 years ago and tried playing the roms the roms are practically unplayable.
There are MANY great n64 rom hacks as well 😎
Oh boy next one is that damn power rangers game. You know it's gonna be a good episode when the nerd AND rerez have covered the game already
The most exciting marble race yet 😂
🎶The marbles are falling, the boulders will test you. Better make it LIGHT SPEED RESCUE! 🎶
Okay but the pass in the marble race tho Too bad that game SUCKS. Good luck with that, Thab.
What a finish
ooh nice little change with playing the game's music during the intro.
Always happy to see a new video.
I won’t stand for this Acclaim blasphemy! They made Turok!
All star baseball is solid too
Iggy's Wrecking Balls was a blast too!
Xtreme-G 2 was my jam growing up
I would have watched 10 minutes of whatever was happening at the end with the cheat codes. That looked hilarious and chaotic
Yeah the whole commentating during the marble race.......
Keep your day job xD
Power Rangers with the greatest comeback in racing history
THAB
Akklaim logo brings me back every time
I am going to bet the next game isn't going to be positive for this youtuber. I got it from a brother's friend as a kid thinking that it was going to be awesome. Beat it in like 10 minutes. Rule of thumb for any game! Don't tell the gamer what to do, let him figure it out on his own! "over here" alright!"
😆 have fun with power rangers it's amazing
He do say he so himself. Another awesome video thab
Another classic from my childhood
If thats the black cartridge power rangers game, i'm so sorry.
Yay!
Wait there was no tricks? Or what happen to the freestyle track we unlocked? I missed it. Love the series ThaB❤
This is such a fun challenge/series. Keep it up, Thab 👍
Not the point of the video but as a Washington resident, it's Wa-shoe-gul for pronunciation.
I literally came to say this. Used to live there. 😆
No one is doing this. Glad to be along for this ride. What’s next tho? You’ll be done eventually.
Next week’s game is a CLASSIC let’s goo
This game is already pretty shallow and lacking in content, but it really confuses me that when Acclaim ported it to the more powerful Dreamcast they still left it the exact same aside from a moderate resolution upgrade lol
Great stuff as always. Here's your algy bump
Watching from augusta ga, where I just literally had to go from having electricity to carrying around my gas lanterns for a week. Lmao
Thicc shaq at :10
The ball game at the end was more exciting then the actual game 😂
I guess this Jeremy McGrath guy is good enough to get his own game, but he is no Jumpin' Jim Rivers
What is the song that starts at 8 seconds!? I'm haunted by this question please help!
Who has the spreadsheet of thabs score reciewfor each game?
OVER HERE! ALRIGHT!
I can't wait for Road Rash!
IT'S FRIDAY!!
> "I really don't see any reason to touch this game unless you have some severe nostalgia for it..."
What if you challenged yourself to beat every N64 game (and I mean all of them)? Isn't that a reason? thabT
6:53 It's pronounced Wah-Shoe-gull
Cunningham's Law strikes again.
Good job on this one bike man
Not a jumping Jim Rivers in sight!
Lol. It’s pronounced “wash-oogle” (emphasis on oogle”
NFL blitz was a banger
Marble race once again the highlight of the video, I'm so glad theyre a part of these, it makes these dogsgit games worth sitting through
When the marble race is more entertaining than the game.
JUMPIN JIM RIV... oh wait.
Im not a Power Rangers fan, but I remember liking their games. Can't wait for the next one.
Only 21 episodes until custom robo v2 :), very very exited for that one!!
When the marble race is better than the game being reviewed.
Mr 199 all day he jumped out of a plane for a red bull commercial with no parachute and had to skydive to a guy with a parachute of course
Excitebike 64 undefeated!!
9 games to the half way point!
I'm just here for the Mahjong. It's always a shame when it loses the marble race.
Golden nuget 64!!! I have that 1 spent a ton of time with it
Goated marble race should use that track again
We were all there for the double backflip
wild marble race
