My only real memory of this game is its sponsorship with WWF during the Attitude Era, for WWF Rewind... brought to you by Glover, gotta love the Glove!
I got my N64 in late 1999 and this was the first game I got. I know a lot of people hate it but it was a blast to play. After so much time playing it I finally made it to Cross-stitch but could not beat him. My older brother beat him for me and I was so happy.
This and Rocket Robot on Wheels are incredibly unique games. It felt like people hit a huge creative deposit back in the 90's and the well has slowly dried up since then.
Have good memories of playing this gradually with my brother and sister. We got the N64 and Glover for Christmas, and watching your review is a blast from the past. Still remember exactly what you had to do in some of the levels you used in your footage. A shame about what happened with the sequel, and surprisingly, this is the first time I've learned about the circumstances behind that.
I personally couldn't get into Glover the few times I've tried it. I love 3D platformers like Banjo-Kazooie, but something about Glover just always felt off to me. It also seemed like every time I've tried the game, I for whatever reason started feeling light headed and the music and sound effects just wouldn't do it for me so I'd lose interest quickly and want to stop. Maybe I'll give it another go because I really love the concept and I want to love the game and see why so many others enjoy it so much.
@@n64glennplant yeah you were very fair in your review! I did have it growing up and I know the last level has some janky physics but I enjoyed having it as a child. I hope someday we get a spiritual successor. Thanks again for all of your fun videos!
Oh man, I had a friend that owned Glover, I was so fascinated by it. My buddy was such an ass about his video games, he never let anyone else play (honestly, what a fecker). I'm still fascinated by it and still haven't played it. Great video!
Glover is such a fascinating game to me. I don’t mind either console version, though I can’t deny the N64 version is the most defined and the one people should check out. On a side note, when it comes to the music, am I the only one who prefers the N64 score? It’s sequenced with MIDI, but each track is more full and longer than the soundtrack for the PS1/PC versions. Not to say the music is bad on PS1, it’s still quite good. It just rubbed me the wrong way when the tracks were shorter, some of the compositions were less melodic and they all cut up abruptly into silence (even though that was typical for the time).
@n64glennplant Thank you so much for the info! Im one of the few die-hard fans of this game. Its definitely one of those cult classics because of its uniqueness. Its a love it or hate it game. I remember following glover 2 news for years as someone online teased that they had a rom of the unfinished build but didnt want to upload it to the internet. A small community of people decided to fundraise money in an attempt to pay the asshole to upload the rom online. I played glover 2 the day it was upload online, a little over a decade ago. I know a modder planned on finishing the game up, but I stopped following news on it. Hopefully one day we'll get it
Great review - I’ll try and play this over the weekend. Your comparison to marble madness rouse my curiosity! I really learning the detail around the number of carts produced and the financial impact this had. Thank you as always Glenn.
Man I had no idea you came back. Your last few videos never showed up on my TH-cam feed but this one did. Amazing work as always and keep the videos coming. I got some content to catch up on now. N64 FOREVER!!!!!
Great to see you back with new content Glenn! Have you considered reviewing any newer N64-style games for modern platforms? Stuff like Cavern of Dreams, Pseudoregalia and Super Kiwi 64. They're all very cheap on the Steam winter sale right now and I think you'd enjoy them. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
The Atlantis 3 music gives me so much nostalgia! I also find it funny how you can't image playing this with the d-pad since for me, it's the only way I can play it now after speedrunning the game for years
Glenn have you played Shotgun Mario on the N64 everdrive yet? Awesome to play but keeps crashing unfortunately, hopefully we get a stable update for console play sometime soon.
Have you ever posted a video talking about what you use to capture gameplay? I know many people would be interested! This game looks great, btw. Love your content!
Good to see you bringing new content again Glenn. I never owned a N64 but it's still fun watching your reviews. I don't suppose you could give us a glimpse of what you have planned for this year?
Man, you were busy while you were away! So, I never heard of this game back when it was in stores, but I did manage to play it a few years ago when I was seeking out new old games to play. It felt unique, bizarre, and maybe a little unpolished at that time to me. I didn't stick with it too long, but it's without a doubt very, very memorable. Definitely is nice to see an in depth review of it.
Great review, thanks Glenn! Somehow this game has never worked its way into my N64 collection through the years but based on this review I think it will soon as it sound like something I could have some fun with!
Another great review. Thank you. I missed this game back in the day but I just bought a copy online. It is actually available on Steam right now for $19.99 with higher resolution graphics if people don't have an N64. Call me strange but I prefer the softer graphics of the N64 version. Also, to me, playing it on the N64 hardware also makes it feel more special. Thanks again for the review.
The N64/PS1/Saturn era was so unique. 3D was brand new in the console market and game concepts were built and developed around this new intriguing dimension. We haven't seen anything like it since perhaps the exception of Virtual Reality (VR).
@@n64glennplant Too expensive for the masses at the moment, and the technology isn't yet fully developed I think. I wonder what a new Mario game would be like in VR...
It kinda did with the remaster on steam but it wasn’t like a true remaster you see of other games. There’s also still rights ownership issues I believe for the title
I was listening to this soundtrack even before I had played the game! It's fairly laid-back and easy to listen to, but kind of catchy and funky as well. Regarding the game itself, it's a shame that its PC port had so little effort put into it. I'm glad that Glover is available for purchase again, but I'm not about to double-dip when it's just a worse version of the N64 game. Either way, I'd definitely be interested in Glover 2, if it's ever finished.
This is one of those games I ALWAYS saw at the rental store... but I never picked it up. I've recently been playing the N64 version of Bust-a-move 2 on my Ayn Odin (android handheld), but after this video, I think I'm going to give this a try! There's a version on Steam, but I think on the PC I'd rather play something different, plus it's 17€, which is quite a lot for a simple port of an 25 year old game imo. I recently read the director (and also one of the programmers) Darren Wood is still working in the industry. He also directed Fuzion Frenzy for the xbox.
@@n64glennplant but yeah, I really liked this game from start to finish. I was impressed with how unique it was, and the physics, while flawed, were impressive for the time. And the soundtrack... it's an absolute banger. I still listen to it to this day whenever I do things.
FUN FACT: The Glover theme tune is actually "Champ!" by Breakastra, which was later included in the soundtrack for the 2005 game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. Also, as an aside, I'm curious to know if Hasbro paid royalties to Breakastra or if it was the other way around. but knowing the greed of corporations like Hasbro, it was probably the latter scenario...
Check out my glover 2 video….they were the world’s second largest gaming company after splashing cash on acquisitions….id assume there would have been some deal done
Good to hear some of the shoddy work of the PlayStation port get mentioned. I try to ignore console wars and enjoy what both systems have to offer, but I won't deny I get a little giddy when it seems N64 owners have the better version when it comes to multiplat games. It was one of the very first games I prioritized getting when I started collecting N64 games, but I still haven't finished it the whole way through. I really should get that off my bucket list.
@n64glennplant Didn't know Armorines had a PS1 version either. Usually, it seems that whatever console the game released on first has the better version.
Hey Plant. Just ordered my copy for cheap. When I visit my parents for the holidays, my brother and I will go to my friend house and I’m gonna insist we play Glover!
Hey Glenn are you going to upload more frequently in 2024? I really enjoy the N64 Magazine retrospectives. I was born in the U.S.A. so I never got the chance to read N64 magazine until I discovered your channel.
I had the Glover game demo on PC so it's nostalgic for me, but because I only played the demo as a kid I'm not that interested in playing the full game
This was always a meme game with my friends and I in high school. Late at night we would boot it up and play it for a few laughs but I never did beat it!
I remember Glover being reviewed back in the day but never played it - my takeaways from this video are that it was a far more sophisticated and well put together game than I'd realized, but also that I might not have the time or patience to play through it in my old age! ;)
Question off the topic: Will you review the Japanese exclusive games of the console or just stay on the western releases? Great videos by the way. Your game reviews are a precious database, especially for the younger generations that didn't know the console (I found your channel while browsing on you tube in order to show the awsomeness of this console to my young nephew)
I liked this game as a kid, but it was too hard for me to finish. Too bad the sequel got cancelled (though I believe an incomplete prototype has been online for a few years now...)
This was a recent one for me, so I never played it back in the day. I started it and really enjoyed it, and then got distracted by the rest of my backlog. I came back to it last year and completed it. Overall, i think it's a tough but fun game with a unique and for the most part well executed gameplay style. Nice to see a positive review on it... I have heard views from many that weren't so kind. I appreciate it for its quirky gameplay. Having played it now, i do think it's a shame the sequel was cancelled.
I was interested to see Glover turn up on Steam, but apparently the port isn't very good. And I never have played it! I clearly remember reading N64 Magazine's review on it, but skipped on renting/buying. But it has got that reputation now of being very inventive. Kudos to them!
I had the PC port at around 10 or 11, no idea how as I don't remember buying it. I struggled with the controls and I suppose the lack of analogue stick is why! But I did sink a fair amount of time into it and enjoyed the game as I still have vivid memories of some of the levels (I'm 32 now.)
I still remember the first one too (but not necessarily the actual buttons): Fart, hiccup, burp, Ba-BAWK!, fart, fart, hiccup, hiccup (Next one was just fart, chicken, fart, chicken...)
What in N64 games still look better than water in games newadays. Water in N64 had character. The transparent simple blue/green effect is just magical.
I don't know what you mean by play with Glover with your hands but I do like this game a lot that I want to pick it up someday for myself. I never once played this game at all and I don't remember if I knew there was going to be a sequel or not. Regardless, both the game's visuals and storyline just sound absolutely amazing for me to play and pick up that I just absolutely want to pick this game up someday either on eBay or at a retro gaming store!
I actually bought two copies sealed from a thrift store as the GameCube was coming out for a dollar each. the same thrift store sold me earthbound complete for 5$. (earthbound wasn't sealed.)
I recall seeing this game displayed next to Ocarina of Time and FzeroX at ToysRUs. It was popular enough that it was demoed against PS1’s Crash Bandicoot 3. Pretty fun title with good production quality
It’s fair to be honest, never gone crazy price wise….theres also the $20 steam remaster which although is cheapest is quite good value for money I guess but it doesn’t look much better than n64 version but I guess it gives you more controller options
I remember trading in both Donkey Kong 64 and Pokemon Snap for Glover when I was a dumb kid. Within the first 10 minutes of playing, I realised what a horrible mistake I had made. I got back on my bike, cycled the 15-20 minute trip back to the store, and convinced the store owner to let me trade my games back. Luckily, he agreed. I haven't played Glover ever since.
I remember renting Glover 64 along with Army Men: Sarge's Heroes, one of the BattleTanx, (though I don't know which one), Mischief Makers, ClayFighter 63 1/3, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, Lego Racers & Gex 64.
Glover was one of those games that I hired from VideoEzy and could never find a copy to buy back then. I really enjoyed it but with the difficulty, I also never beat it
@@n64glennplant they never sold games they had on hire and I couldn't find a copy anywhere in town to buy. I got a week with it on weekly hire and that was it unfortunately
This game gets way too much hate, it’s sad that it lived in Super mario 64’s and Banjo Kazooies shadow :( Hopefully it will get more attention soon. Whoever has the rights to the game now, please give us Glover 2
Pico interactive do, they wanted to finish it and release it but there’s some legal troubles about who actually owns the rights so seems stuck at the moment
My only real memory of this game is its sponsorship with WWF during the Attitude Era, for WWF Rewind... brought to you by Glover, gotta love the Glove!
Hahah wow yeah that’s unlocked a core memory for me!
Wow. This, Castrol GTX, and the jvc kaboombox
@@MattG-nl4pp also, Luggz boots lol
Never forget Stacker 2 and BOD man fragrance spray.
PlayStation2, Xbox, Chef Boyardee, YJStinger,Tomb Raider: the Angel of darkness, SoulCalibur 2 & Tekken 5
It's so nice to have you back regularly Glenn.

I think there’s always a nostalgic thing with people’s first games on systems etc because they instantly draw you into the new vibe the console has
This and Rocket Robot on Wheels are incredibly unique games. It felt like people hit a huge creative deposit back in the 90's and the well has slowly dried up since then.
Agreed! And rocket is so under rated
1st N64 game I owned as a kid. I could never get past the monkey boss.
That boss was insane right?!?!?
One game that I've never played before, but always wanted to. The PS1 version went up on AntStream last week, but you said it wasn't very good, right?
Ps1 versions horrible got like 2-3 /10 scores back in the day
Dude, you've been on a roll with the videos! Love that! Glover is a hidden gem for sure.
Taking rest of the year off now I think ✌️
@@n64glennplant Well earned friend! Enjoy your holidays!
@@n64glennplant Looking forward to next year! Thank you for all these recent videos!
Definitly an underrated gem and I hate that we never got the sequel.
Yeah maybe one day hey
@@n64glennplant hopefully lol.
I'm shocked some fan hasn't taken the leaked rom and finished it themselves by now seeing as the majority of the game seems to already be complete.
@@BLOODY__FATALITY yeah more than likely it'll happen at some point
With how much people talk about spiritual sequels, I'm surprised no one has taken it into their hands to make anything remotely similar to Glover.
Have good memories of playing this gradually with my brother and sister. We got the N64 and Glover for Christmas, and watching your review is a blast from the past. Still remember exactly what you had to do in some of the levels you used in your footage. A shame about what happened with the sequel, and surprisingly, this is the first time I've learned about the circumstances behind that.
Yeah even when I played someone watching said it was crazy how I could remember the solutions to some of the puzzles still

Sounds like motion sickness mate!

Hope you like it!

I loved this game as a child. Its hard as fuck tho. I was finally able to beat it as an adult. This franchise has potential, I wish they'd revive it
They remastered this and glover 2 has some issues with ownership rights

Delivered! Held the cart in my hand today and I said “Thanks Glen”
Hope you enjoy it!
Glover is one of my favorite N64 games..so unique and quirky
Did you ever check out glover 2?
That quirkiness makes me feel like every N64 game could've been as special as Glover if it had the same love and polish in it.
Great review. This franchise had great potential. I really want to play this. I hope it is not an expensive cart.
Fingers crossed! It’s usually a cheap one
Glover's design and animations are too damn charming.
They managed to get a lot of personality into such an odd object

This was always a meme game with my friends and I in high school. Late at night we would boot it up and play it for a few laughs but I never did beat it!
I can also see it being a stoners go to game 😅
I remember Glover being reviewed back in the day but never played it - my takeaways from this video are that it was a far more sophisticated and well put together game than I'd realized, but also that I might not have the time or patience to play through it in my old age! ;)
Haha at nearly 40 I don’t have the patience or time like I used to!
@@n64glennplant Yep! I'm turning the big 4-0 in less than a month! Scary thought!
Question off the topic: Will you review the Japanese exclusive games of the console or just stay on the western releases?
Great videos by the way. Your game reviews are a precious database, especially for the younger generations that didn't know the console (I found your channel while browsing on you tube in order to show the awsomeness of this console to my young nephew)
See my n64 Japanese eye playlist ✌️
I liked this game as a kid, but it was too hard for me to finish. Too bad the sequel got cancelled (though I believe an incomplete prototype has been online for a few years now...)
Yeah that’s what I played in my glover 2 video
Is this footage captured on an N64 or emulator? It looks very clean!
N64 console
@@n64glennplant Awesome. What do you use to capture? I never get my N64 capture footage to look this good.
So what did "garib" actually originally refer to?
The playing card things
I remember playing this game it was pretty fun
Happy memories 😁
This was a recent one for me, so I never played it back in the day. I started it and really enjoyed it, and then got distracted by the rest of my backlog. I came back to it last year and completed it. Overall, i think it's a tough but fun game with a unique and for the most part well executed gameplay style. Nice to see a positive review on it... I have heard views from many that weren't so kind. I appreciate it for its quirky gameplay. Having played it now, i do think it's a shame the sequel was cancelled.
Ive read somewhere that the n64 version of Glover 2 was going to be picked up and finished , but that was like 2-3 years ago. Did the project die ?
Piko interactive….rights ownership issues
Great video. I love Glover on the Nintendo 64, it's a great platformer for sure, just wish we would of got Glover 2.
Same here! But at least there’s some of that to play and some cool new mechanics they were working on
When i was a kid i thought Glover was the Master Hand in Smash Bros
Sure you’re not alone there
I was interested to see Glover turn up on Steam, but apparently the port isn't very good. And I never have played it! I clearly remember reading N64 Magazine's review on it, but skipped on renting/buying. But it has got that reputation now of being very inventive. Kudos to them!
You and me both - the “remaster” barely looks better than the n64 version it’s crazy
I had the PC port at around 10 or 11, no idea how as I don't remember buying it. I struggled with the controls and I suppose the lack of analogue stick is why! But I did sink a fair amount of time into it and enjoyed the game as I still have vivid memories of some of the levels (I'm 32 now.)
It’s funny there have been a few people commenting saying they play dpad and can’t imagine playing with analogue stick
Narrator: He didn't edit it out
😉
Love this game! Pretty unique gimmick. Glad to see it's getting some love. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for the visit
I loved putting those codes in, with the hen...
I just really enjoyed the fart sound amd the chicken sound!
I still remember the first one too (but not necessarily the actual buttons):
Fart, hiccup, burp, Ba-BAWK!, fart, fart, hiccup, hiccup
(Next one was just fart, chicken, fart, chicken...)
What in N64 games still look better than water in games newadays. Water in N64 had character. The transparent simple blue/green effect is just magical.
Wave race is still better than a ton of modern water physics right!
I don't know what you mean by play with Glover with your hands but I do like this game a lot that I want to pick it up someday for myself. I never once played this game at all and I don't remember if I knew there was going to be a sequel or not. Regardless, both the game's visuals and storyline just sound absolutely amazing for me to play and pick up that I just absolutely want to pick this game up someday either on eBay or at a retro gaming store!
I did a triple take to make sure my eyes were correct when I saw this was uploaded.
About time right!
We need this on N64 app. Should be a cheap add for Nitendo.
Agreed
I remember playing this during my childhood. I honestly miss when games would try something unique or different.
Yeah was a cool idea and a risk they were willing to take
I actually bought two copies sealed from a thrift store as the GameCube was coming out for a dollar each. the same thrift store sold me earthbound complete for 5$. (earthbound wasn't sealed.)
Great buys right!
I recall seeing this game displayed next to Ocarina of Time and FzeroX at ToysRUs. It was popular enough that it was demoed against PS1’s Crash Bandicoot 3. Pretty fun title with good production quality
Popular / they were getting a real good price from hasbro to shill it for them 😂
"Gotta love the glove!"
I’ll give you a HAND for that great joke 😉
@@n64glennplant did you know this game was the sponsor for WWF In Your House "Rock Bottom"?
@@alexgeorge501 yeah someone reminded me and I remember like it was yesterday now
If ya Smell-ell-ell-ell-ell-ell-ell!…what the glove is Cookin’!
Never played it but looks awesome. Wonder if it's prohibitively pricey now. Ebay here I come!
It’s fair to be honest, never gone crazy price wise….theres also the $20 steam remaster which although is cheapest is quite good value for money I guess but it doesn’t look much better than n64 version but I guess it gives you more controller options
Hope you’re well Glenn! Hoping there’s more to come in the future, tho I’m not sure what you haven’t covered yet 🤔 Best 64 channel out there, cheers
Thanks, be back again when health allows 👍
Glenn, you’re on fire now my G! 🔥
Last one for the year I think as will be away for holidays
The long awaited prequel
Haha only a decade after glover 2
I remember trading in both Donkey Kong 64 and Pokemon Snap for Glover when I was a dumb kid. Within the first 10 minutes of playing, I realised what a horrible mistake I had made. I got back on my bike, cycled the 15-20 minute trip back to the store, and convinced the store owner to let me trade my games back. Luckily, he agreed.
I haven't played Glover ever since.
You weren't a smart kid. Glover was clearly better.
This would a good game to put on nintendo switch.
Yup!
I actually like this game, but I feel the controlles have a great input lag. And yes, I used to play it on a CRT.
Sad that they cancelled the sequel.
Not noticed any lag myself with the controls
Never played Glover, but always wanted to. I may end up buying the steam version once the next big sale comes around.
Bear in mind that’s the “remaster” but I personally don’t think they did a great job of it
I remember renting Glover 64 along with Army Men: Sarge's Heroes, one of the BattleTanx, (though I don't know which one), Mischief Makers, ClayFighter 63 1/3, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, Lego Racers & Gex 64.
Great rentals but some there I’d much rather own like DKR!
@@n64glennplant It was a fun game & I really liked those snow levels it had in the game.
Glover was one of those games that I hired from VideoEzy and could never find a copy to buy back then. I really enjoyed it but with the difficulty, I also never beat it
Wouldn’t they sell it to you?
@@n64glennplant they never sold games they had on hire and I couldn't find a copy anywhere in town to buy. I got a week with it on weekly hire and that was it unfortunately
I have fond memories of motion sickness playing this game.
Oh yeah I can imagine
This game gets way too much hate, it’s sad that it lived in Super mario 64’s and Banjo Kazooies shadow :( Hopefully it will get more attention soon. Whoever has the rights to the game now, please give us Glover 2
Pico interactive do, they wanted to finish it and release it but there’s some legal troubles about who actually owns the rights so seems stuck at the moment
Good review, why is your name not Glenn64?
Hey, at least it leaves him open to reviewing other N64-era or N64-like games in the future, without being limited to the N64 itself! ;)
No reason I just went with n64 Glenn plant many years ago and that’s remained since.
