Each one had a set of abilities that the others did not, so heading into one stage with the wrong sort, would make things far more challenging.
The game is a 3 rd person shooter/adventure game and makes good use of those aspects, its big draw though, was the three playable characters. One of the overlooked titles from Rare on the Nintendo 64, Jet Force Gemini has you attempting to save the galaxy from a race of evil insectoid beings. It managed to tell a decent story and has some good moments, interestingly the Nintendo 64 release was ported over by Factor5, who also have games that appear later in the list. The game had you take control of the titular Indiana Jones, who has teamed up with the CIA to find and protect the four pieces of the Infernal Machine. One game that didn’t see a release in Australia, at least on the Nintendo 64, Indiana Jones was a fun adventure, though perhaps flawed. Players were in control of a synthetic human, created by aliens but when the character turns on its creators, it is time to fight back and then we get a political sci-fi game, it really is unlike anything else. This was a weird one, even back when it released in late 1999, the game gives of some Cyberpunk vibes, but combines it with a gameplay system that could be compared to the VATS system from modern Fallout games. A sequel was planned, but never released, though there were some GameBoy games released as part of the series. Set within a fantasised version of Ireland, the gameplay was similar to Chrono Trigger for its combat but used a levelling system similar to Final Fantasy 2. Developed by Imagineer, the same folks behind the recent Fitness Boxing 2, the game was aimed to fill the RPG sized hole that the Nintendo 64 library had. If the name Holy Magic Century doesn’t ring any bells for you, you would not be alone in that. The gameplay loop is much what you would expect from the series, but even to this day, there is a charm in the older games, so this would be a welcome addition.
What makes this game special is that PAL gamers, which is us, never actually got the original release of the game back in the 90s, we got it for the first time via the Wii’s Virtual Console service. If you have played any recent Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Rune Factory or heck, even Stardew Valley, they all own their success to the early Harvest Moon games. It also has the distinction of having older games available to play within, if you can find them. With 5 playable characters, each with their own unique collectables, weapons and moves, plus all those bananas… so, so many bananas. What a way to open a game and there was, at the time, no game with as much game to offer as Donkey Kong 64. Their finally here, performing for you and if you know the words you can join in to.
