It’s kind of amazing how many references they managed to cram into this game… Hassan and the Abominable Snowman only appear in one cartoon each, I think… Rocky is in a few with Bugs Bunny, the flower headed screwball Daffy is from Duck Amok, obviously the whole thing with Marvin is from the original Duck Dodgers short, though his plan to blow up Earth (“It obstructs my view of Venus”) is from a Bugs cartoon. Even the boxing mini game and the turtle character are references, though again, to Bugs Bunny cartoons.
That “screw ball” creature daffy transforms into isn’t a false memory! It’s from a cartoon where daffy is talking to the animator breaking the fourth wall, and the animator keeps messing with him by erasing him and drawing him as different things. Turns out if was Bugs doing all the drawing of course “ain’t I a stinker!” Lol
I was sad to see he didn’t know some of the characters in the game. 😭 And was the turtle the same from the one that would race bugs? In the tortoise and the hare skits.
Probably some of the best cartoon graphics I've seen on the N64. Characters don't look like a bunch of polygon sausages, they're on-model, their animations are smooth, the backgrounds don't look like blurry smeared textures, and there's no fog!
Hassan, the boxer, Crusher, etc are all from the original cartoons from the 50s too, so the iffy depictions make more sense dating things back 70 years
@14:00 so for ducks being in the water when it's cold, they actually do that pretty regularly. they have a layer of body oil in their feathers that not only keeps water off them, but also insulates them pretty well.
Fun Fact: the "ACME" corporation featured in lots of cartoons is a riff off how many early post-depression companies called themselves "ACME" to appear first in the phone book.
The only reason I watch all the way to the end is because thab gives me a shout out. "If you've made it all the way to the end, I really appreciate it." Parasocial relationship coming in nice
YES! This was a classic “clearance shelf at blockbuster” game for me as a kid. Played the crap out of it. The city level is usually where I would get stuck because I had no idea how to push the bookshelves 😂
I don't know what game I'm even looking forward to...this is quite the task. Mad Props. Since these are posted at 6am and I get off work at 7am, it's the best video to lead into my days off.
I think every N64 fan is looking forward to the big bois - Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Starfox, Pilotwings... 🤌🤌
@@DM-kv9kj I'm actually digging the games I didn't play. Although I'm curious what he'll think of games like Mischief Makers and Chameleon Twist, which I loved back then.
*16:44** Planet X* is the name of a theoretical ninth (or tenth since your book still has Pluto) planet in the solar system. It's mostly a fringe theory, and in those versions Planet X is either some harbinger of apocalypse or possibly even the home of the Atlantians. But there have been some studies that have speculated that it might be expected that a tenth planet could exist, with an unusual orbit that sends it far beyond Pluto most of the time. It's not _impossible,_ but it's never been directly observed, so yeah
I grew up with this game and it was one of the first games I ever played. Planet X is still one of the most fun worlds I've ever played in a video game and the music is so joyous. I've always loved how Daffy controls, too. You can get a lot of things done with his twitchy, high jump. Some of the glitches did creep me out, though. There's a glitch in Planet X with the green Martian. Plus, on the snow planet, I also encountered a glitch in which the green puffer fish actually floated out of the water and chased me. That scared the shit out of me as a kid. Those enemies freaked me out in general because of the muffled, hissing noise they would make when they attacked you. The sewer level on Planet E (the earth world, I think) also was the first level to truly scare me as a kid. It was so dank and creepy to me back then, and I remember actually making my mom stay in the room with me as I traversed that section where you fill the room with water and a monster is in the water waiting to attack you. My mom was like, "Ryan, you're seriously scared of a Daffy Duck game?!" 😂 I'm happy to see a more high-profile UA-camr talk about and play this game, because it's pretty obscure. Not a lot of people played this game and no one really talks about it anymore. It honestly feels like I'm the only one who had this game as a kid.
Yoooo cant wait for next week's game!! That's by far my favorite genre of N64 games, for whatever reason the console just had so many bangers in that type of game
Love the randomly great-ish looney tunes games. I remember one on the PS1 that you played as Wile E. Coyote (super genius) getting into general shenanigans. Stealing sheep, setting up traps, watching out for Sam the sheepdog. Awesome game
I rented this game all the time as a kid. I honest to god can barely remember any gameplay but that soundtrack has stuck with me my entire life. I don't understand why but that's one of the most nostalgic soundtracks to me. Now I wanna track down a copy of this game haha
Planet X was in the original Duck Dodgers shorts. It was the last known site on which the shaving cream atom could be mined, So Dodgers was assigned to go and conquer it in the name of Earth. Martians like shaving too, so he wound up in direct conflict with Marvin who was there for the same reason.
Not to defend a mega Corp like A.C.M.E., but I do think a lot of those failures can be attributes to Mr Coyote using their products outside of their intended use
I'm a miner just doing my job, when an alien duck with arms chases me and I look back to check if hes still there when all of a sudden i accidentally hit a giant rock pillar that falls over and kills me
If I recall right, Duck Dodgers isn't actually daffy, but an out of universe character played by daffy. Like all the characters are played by Loony Toons characters as actors
14:04 The show that came later explains well how can he survive. The lyrics of the opening sequence say "Frozen in a time and space divide" 19:26 It did happen it is one of the best looney tunes shorts.
Marvin the Martian was a big crossover with the NBA. There was a huge ad campaign with Michael Jordan and Mars (Spike Lee). I’m sure this game can out around the same time as Space Jam.
Planet X is a long theorised 10th planet beyond the orbit of Pluto. Of course when the word planet was given a proper definition, there were only 8 planets in the solar system, so the term Planet X is no longer relevant. The event that made the word planet need a proper definition was the discovery of Eris in 2006. Which is actually more massive than Pluto. Some people initially described it as the 10th planet, or Planet X. This, and the prospect of other large objects in the outer solar system (there have been many similar discoveries since), prompted astronomers of properly define what a planet is. It’s interesting stuff. And really, Pluto not being a planet is much more prestigious. It’s no longer the 9th and least significant planet, but the first and most famous trans-Neptunian object.
I have officially caught up!!!!(with the YT video's) You also inspired me to play my own N64 games again, twist is I started with SM64, 96 stars as we speak, thanks.
I've been very interested in seeing you play Wipeout 64. I never played it before but I got the platinum for the one Sony gave out for free on ps3 and boy was it hard. So I'm looking forward to seeing the differences.
I believe we are around the same age (I'm 29) and I also remember planet X being a whole big thing at some point in childhood, and then never hearing about it again
I don't know about that worm spitting you out not being the intended way to get into the palace. From a game design perspective, it definitely seems unintentional, but from a funny cartoon perspective, it makes perfect sense and wouldn't seem out of place in an actual Looney Tunes cartoon.
My favorite Looney Tunes game (not that I played too many of them) was Taz Wanted. When I was little it was a frequent rental from the video store. It took years for me to get my own copy. It always feels surreal going back to a game you hadn't played in years and finally replaying it as an adult. I had a similar experience with Scooby Doo Night of 100 Frights and SpongeBob Squarepants Battle for the BIkini Bottom (the original version). It's amazing how much I clearly remember of video games I played as a kid when there's a lot of things from back then that just seem like a blur.
Still getting them out, good to see. My entire elementary school life was n64 (and learning I guess). Don't know if you have done Ocarina yet but it should be a whopper as we all obviously know.
The Planet X reference you made at 16:44 could be an example of the Mandela Effect. I also remember that discovery. Look up Nibiru for a possible explanation, but you'll most likely have to dig deeper than a simple Google search.
I never owned a N64 but have played Golden Eye, Mario 64, NFL Blits And bomber man on it at a friends house back in the 90s. Which is why i like watches these videos. Looney Tunes games are the best.
I've been enjoying these videos. The only problem is that they aren't all done so I can't jump to games I used to play. I was a teenager in the 90s and played lots of N64. The games I'm excited to see are ocarina of time, Majora's mask, Mario 64, pilotwings 64, blastcorps, goldeneye, perfect dark, turok, san Fransisco rush, and Conker's bad fur Day,. Just to name of few. But when, oh when will one of these be randomly selected!? Especially blast corps, that game was super fun. I wish they made a sequel.
He reviewed the first Turok game (not the other ones yet, tho) a few months ago. As for Super Mario 64...well...this will be literally the last N64 game he'll play for this challenge.
@@Diddy64wii yeah, I realised that right after the comment. Figured it didn't really matter enough to go back and change it. I forgot how much fog turok had. But I remember the controls were awesome, set the premise for pretty much all modern day dual analog fps setup. They used the 4 C buttons as forward, back, and strafe and used the analog as look around.
I genuinely feel this is a tiny bit of polish away from being one of the best games on the system. I've played through it quite a few times. Certainly my favourite non Nintendo game on the n64.
"But there are random spike pits & rolling logs with thorns everywhere- I mean, who's meant to live here?" I would think that is obviously the Prince of Persia. Duh.

13:52 - Ducks in fact have some of the best insulation of the animal kingdom and have no problem swimming or floating in cold water.
I knew somebody had to have corrected this already!
Ducks diving in cold water: ua-cam.com/video/f7wY4Cnuk-s/v-deo.html
Yea I see ducks on partially iced over ponds all the time
Make Way for Ducklings... famously set in Boston which is cold like half the year. Ducks are fine with cold
This deserves a pin.

👏👏👏 somebody knows what's up
One of my favourites.
I was sad to see he didn’t know some of the characters in the game. 😭 And was the turtle the same from the one that would race bugs? In the tortoise and the hare skits.
Ahhh, that's a strong memory, think we had it on tape back in the day...

No kidding, easily some of the most impressive art direction for any N64 game, its a shame the actual game isnt equally exceptional.
Thats Eggbert at 17:52 and Cecil the Turtle right after him. They pulled out all the side characters for this game.
Oh cool I figured they were from the show too
Hassan, the boxer, Crusher, etc are all from the original cartoons from the 50s too, so the iffy depictions make more sense dating things back 70 years
Also known as Egghead Jr. He first appeared in some Foghorn Leghorn shorts.

Yoooo cant wait for next week's game!! That's by far my favorite genre of N64 games, for whatever reason the console just had so many bangers in that type of game
Rocky was in my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon---"hiding in the stove eh?"
I remember reading a book as a kid that listed Planet X as a hypothetical planet.
I used to love this game as a kid. Loved going to the basketball court and shooting hoops.
Thank you for all of these N64 videos! This takes me back to such a happier time in life!
Love the randomly great-ish looney tunes games. I remember one on the PS1 that you played as Wile E. Coyote (super genius) getting into general shenanigans. Stealing sheep, setting up traps, watching out for Sam the sheepdog. Awesome game
That wasn't Wile E in Sheep Raider, it was his lookalike Ralph Wolf.

I was reading this comment right when Thab said soundtrack was forgettable @11:14.
Maybe 20 years from now, the soundtrack will stick with him too 😂.
The scripts are getting hilarious. These make my day. Thanks for doing this series!
The graphical transition from SNES to N64 was greater than any other generation in my opinion.
I laughed too hard at the Wile E. Coyote moment. 43 years old and those segments still make me laugh.
Then you would love sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf. Great puzzle game that I cant beat as a kid with even better humor
Man I never found it funny even as a kid, it’s literally just an animal getting hurt
I look forward to these every Friday. Great content!
Thab you did an AWESOME job on this one with the commentary and edits. You always do well, but man, you crushed it on this one.
Thabs gonna compliment the soundtrack for the next episode 100%

He can blow up Jupiter. I cant remember the last time Jupiter did anything for us
Wipeout 64, Extreme G, and FZERO X were all amazing hype speed racers with amazing soundtracks.
Not to defend a mega Corp like A.C.M.E., but I do think a lot of those failures can be attributes to Mr Coyote using their products outside of their intended use

I grew up on this game. Thank you so much THAB. I would've forgotten all about this if it were not for you.
I feel like playing this game will help when you get to Gex64. Very similar vibes.
If I recall right, Duck Dodgers isn't actually daffy, but an out of universe character played by daffy. Like all the characters are played by Loony Toons characters as actors
Pluto definitely is a planet... It was discovered in Phoenix after all ...
Games I am looking forward to:
Rocket: Robot On Wheels
Conkur's Bad Fur Day
Fur Fighters
In the 24th and 1 half Century!!!
Duck Dodgers was one the best cartoons and intro. Keep up the good work.
14:04 The show that came later explains well how can he survive. The lyrics of the opening sequence say
"Frozen in a time and space divide"

Bros too young
Marvin the Martian was a big crossover with the NBA. There was a huge ad campaign with Michael Jordan and Mars (Spike Lee). I’m sure this game can out around the same time as Space Jam.

You also inspired me to play my own N64 games again, twist is I started with SM64, 96 stars as we speak, thanks.
How do you not know the difference between a seal and a walrus?
hell yeah i love Wipeout. This is the best N64 series on YT. Love this quest keep up the good work duder
That shiny floor was awesome. That must have blown some minds back then.
Duck Dodgers deserves a new game honestly, with funny dialogs I'll buy it.
You always upload as I'm getting ready to go to sleep so I get to wind down while I watch, keep it up thab!
DUCK DODGER! and the 24th & a Half CENTURY!
I really enjoy this series, please keep it up.
Gomons great adventure
I love this series so much. Especially because O love your voice a lot. Perfect to fall asleep too.
Wipeout64 will be fun
When he spanked you, did he call you George?
I remember this game but for SNES got it from blockbuster on sale so much fun
I've been very interested in seeing you play Wipeout 64. I never played it before but I got the platinum for the one Sony gave out for free on ps3 and boy was it hard. So I'm looking forward to seeing the differences.
Dude i really love your videos. Your editing is crazy good. Tryna be like u bro 🙌🏼 so fun to watch
Excellent video !
LETS GO! I played this game so much when i was kid, love Duck Dodgers as a character so much.
I am watching every N64 Game and I mean all of them. The twist is the next game is not OOT or SM64. 😆
Dang one number away from Winback
I can't wait for him to play hexen 64, I remeber getting so lost in that game. Wonder if he will get as lost as I did as a kid.
How do I know it’s Friday without you bud? Lol loved this game ! Idk why nostalgia I guess haha
I believe we are around the same age (I'm 29) and I also remember planet X being a whole big thing at some point in childhood, and then never hearing about it again
I'm 28 and I remember hearing about this new planet as a kid too
I’ve been binging your videos(again) and I finally decided to try MM2 again. This is a good video to watch while I try to figure out what I’m doing. 😅
Love this series! Keep it up!
I passed over this game many times as a rental and I'm a bit disappointed. Graphically it looks very crisp, and similar to the source material.

Pluto is a Planet!

My favorite Looney Tunes game (not that I played too many of them) was Taz Wanted. When I was little it was a frequent rental from the video store. It took years for me to get my own copy.

This was an awesome game, and wipeout is a really cool racing game.
Still getting them out, good to see. My entire elementary school life was n64 (and learning I guess). Don't know if you have done Ocarina yet but it should be a whopper as we all obviously know.
The Planet X reference you made at 16:44 could be an example of the Mandela Effect. I also remember that discovery. Look up Nibiru for a possible explanation, but you'll most likely have to dig deeper than a simple Google search.
LOL "False memory", Fruit of the loom logo had a cornucopia.
Love all the old references in this game!
Easily one of my favorite series.

The speedrun uses that tech lol
