Donkey Kong N64... how many just gave up due to the arcade games and bonuses stages?

[Sabretooth]

it's all random bullshit. between control glitches, lack of patterns, lack of time to plan (not even a second to even think), can't be off on your jumps by one second... I've finished the arcade games twice: once on my N64 and one on the emulator (accidentally deleted the save). the arcade game alone can destroy any desire play any further! I wonder what the mentality was for those who created this game.

I don't think I played that very long, maybe a few hours or so (I never had an n64 of my own). But I love split second timing requirements and no patterns in games.

Not so much in regards to glitches however (though in older games they usually don't have glitches woth controls, its more often that it's a faulty controller or a dusty cart/scratched disc). Back then, testing and ironing out glitches had to be done before release, so developers couldn't afford to be lazy.

invisible walls and an ai turning itself off an not cooperating with me.

[TheSpaceGnome]

That sounds like ass.

I literally saw myself bounce back.

Invisible walls and retarded AIs are garbage, bury it in the desert with the ET carts.

[Sabretooth]

Lol. It's pretty fun if you ignore the camera, the terrible vine placements and the mini games.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Those things I'm actually fine with, I like challenge, as long as the game is not literally broken.

[Sabretooth]

I like it more relaxing. try swinging on level 2... see how many times you touch the quicksand. here's a tip: you see a narrow walkway--pull out your gun.

There is something timeless about old console graphics.

unnoticeable... given its universe.
