Expansion Pak Detected: Cruis'n USA

http://www.expansionpakdetected.com/2013/05/cruisn-usa.html

What better game to kick things off than the infamous Cruis'n USA? How does it fare? Not too badly, as it turns out. Back in the day, money to spend on games was scarce for me so I took magazine reviews very seriously. Those journalists had the power to make or break a game's sales figures in the early days of the internet: where else could you go for game reviews in 1998 but the magazines? The sharpness tells me this screen is of an emulated version. The music however, is complete dog shit. Play thi...

Expansion Pak Detected: WipEout 64

http://www.expansionpakdetected.com/2013/06/wipeout-64.html

I recently looked at my collection of games. It spans seven different consoles from various generations.and that's slightly coincidental because I also own seven different incarnations of the world's best known futuristic racing game: WipEout. *. Edit: I now own 20 consoles, but in the name of coherent intros, I'll just add this bit instead of re-writing the whole thing! That evening, I slunk back home and couldn't even look at my lowly Multi-Mega. I knew it didn't have even half of the 'awesome' tha...

Expansion Pak Detected: The Curious Case Of Rev Limit

http://www.expansionpakdetected.com/2013/05/the-curious-case-of-rev-limit.html

The Curious Case Of Rev Limit. One game that looked like it may have had the potential to remedy this was Ocean's GT64: Championship Edition, but the final game was let down by a poor frame rate, muddy visuals and car handling from the stone age (indeed, Fred Flintstone's foot-powered saloon probably had better cornering abilities that the machines in GT64). Very few screens or footage of Rev Limit exist online today, but below is a selection of both:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I’ve got t...

Expansion Pak Detected: A Letter From Rare

http://www.expansionpakdetected.com/2013/05/a-letter-from-rare.html

A Letter From Rare. Back in 2001, I felt just as strongly and took it upon myself to write to Rare to tell them just how awesome I thought their game was. I wasn't expecting any form of reply - I just wanted to let them know how appreciative I was to them for all of their efforts in creating one of the best games of all time. If I remember rightly, the 19 year old me wrote the letter by hand on lined paper as I didn't even have a computer back then! And here it is:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Expansion Pak Detected: Perfect Dark: N64 Vs XBOX 360

Perfect Dark: N64 Vs XBOX 360. I know what you're thinking: "not another Perfect Dark video! Well stop your groaning, dear reader! This is even cooler that the previous vids I've uploaded.

Expansion Pak Detected: Mickey's Speedway USA

http://www.expansionpakdetected.com/2013/05/mickeys-speedway-usa.html

The N64 is home to some of the best kart racers around. The PSX had Crash Team Racing, which to be fair, was pretty good. But the N64 was simply light years ahead in the genre, boasting titles like Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing. Following in the wake of those illustrious karters, comes Mickey's Speedway USA.and it's pretty enjoyable. Messed up text and textures? Blurry as hell and normal text? The real deal.huzzah! Mickey's Speedway USA doesn't trump Mario Kart for brainless fun and doesn't even co...

Expansion Pak Detected: Two Tales: Conker 64

http://www.expansionpakdetected.com/2014/11/two-tales-conker-64.html

Two Tales: Conker 64. That title isn't a typo. It refers to the two different versions of Conker's Bad Fur Day that made it out of Rare's door before they turned into the Microsoft Kinect Sports whores that they have become. Conker's Bad Fur Day is one of my favourite N64 games, not just because it looks great and has some really clever adult humour.but because it's fun to play and well, it's a Rare game of old.
