  • The Army Men games had decent popularity in the 90s. Also, helicopter games had decent popularity in the 90s. This game is the logical conclusion of those two things.

    The Army Men games were always my favorite! I used to rent every one of them from my local video rental store that also had N64 games. They weren't great games but I had the toys too so it was like they were actually real to me.

    Glad your are still able to upload these. I really do enjoy them. Know you had your sickness recently in your last vid but its ok. Its a huge endevor and I look forward to a lot of games that I love and loved that havent shown up yet.....like Jet Force Gemini, Quest 64, Clayfighter 63 1/3, Tetrisphere, Iggy's Wreckin' Balls, Banjo-Kazooie, Mystical Ninja Goemon, Starfox 64, Turok 2, Turok 3, Yoshi's Story........a lot more (I played and rented A LOT of N64 games lol) but I just look forward to them whenever they get released.

      ​@@ryannachtrabI couldn't beat the Jet Force Gemini final boss because I spread the upgrades around too much between characters and you can't choose your character for that boss. Would have had to replay the entire game to beat it.

    this is one of those games that is hugely nostalgic for me if I ever think of it. games like ocarina of time are actually less nostalgic because they are more memorable, if I think about this game it's like unlocking a secret trove of hidden knowledge I totally forgot about which makes it more nostalgic
