Beating EVERY N64 Game - Command & Conquer (80/394)

- Being one of the most popular RTS series ever, you might be surprised to find Command and Conquer on the N64. But that's exactly what they did back then. How did the controls work out on a controller?

Who needs the actual date it was streamed when you have Thab's hair to give you the answer
More accurate than an atomic clock
Love the fact Kane took time to t-pose right before being blown to smithereens @30:47
He asserted dominance one final time!
30:43 I'm glad Kane was able to assert dominance over the ion beam in his last moments.
The T-posing was unexpected lol
Came here to say this and was so glad it was the top comment.
The Command and Conquer Remastered collection for PC is on the Steam Summer Sale for like $7 right now if anyone is wanting to give it another go. Included C&C, Red Alert, and I think all the expansions. Plus a bunch of other stuff. Not a bad deal IMO
bargin
Yep! And they did a nice job remastering too!
It's not a bad deal even at full price. This remaster had so much love put into it that it amazes me that it even exists from modern EA.
This thing is a gem and a steal.
I think they added some stuff right
It also features missions and cutscenes unique to N64 version as a bonus.
I'm Kane's right hand man
the midi version of "march to doom" was bomb. and the fact that they used 3d models instead of sprites was impressive.
This soundtrack is superior at several points, IMO
I’m watching this guy beat every N64 game and I mean all of them. Twist is I don’t which he will play next as it is randomly selected at the end of each episode. This is the journey to watch this guy beat every N64 game.
Lolololol
I keep forgetting to like your comment but I see it everyone if these videos lol
Dude you say this on every post... its not even funny
i dont think its meant to be funny anymore@@Yourmomgoestocolledge
So glad to see you finally play this. This version was my first exposure to the series, and from there, my love for it just kept growing.
I'm absolutely loving this series. Always looking forward to it every week. Keep it up and thanks for the awesome content!
I’ve been waiting for this one!!
My dad still plays this game on PC haha. He actually was playing it last night.
this is the only game i ever played with my dad as a kid, only knew him for 3 days, this game is literally my dad
@@drum420 what happend to him?
@@berndknoppers6774 went to the dairy
WC3
No he doesn't b1tch he doesn't even have a computer
Edit I thought u meant my dad
Spent so many hours, days, weeks and years with C&C/Red Alert games on PC. Without a mouse/keyboard I don't think I could pull it off haha. Small edit here: The multiplayer for these games, now that's where the real fun was.
How I missed these. I got used to watching these twice a week and then we had to wait 2 whole weeks. Glad these are back, but I hope Thab is having a good trip.
Best series on youtube atm. Can't wait to see you beat Mischief Makers (whenever that happens).
shake shake
shake shake
@@jolly1559 I see you're a man/woman of culture as well.
SHAKE SHAKE
I loved that game as a kid. It was so weird but fun.
@@bes03c That's exactly how I feel about it. Its weirdness made it unique, and it ended up becoming one of my all time favorites for the N64.
Cannot wait for Starcraft. Thab has been giving these games' stories a good amount of attention, and Starcraft's story is amazing.
Can't wait for Star Craft. Played it on N64 as a kid, that's how I found the series!
I have genuinely enjoyed this entire series thus far. Seeing games I have played and not played. This has been such a treat. Thank you so much for doing this and making great content!
One of my favorite n64 games ever! I remember loving it on PC and was so glad to see it was on 64. Got it the same day that I first saw a marathon of the first 3 DBZ movies on a 3 day weekend.
I lived on red alert on pc when I was a kid. What a memory hole
I grew up playing this on pc back in the windows 98 days, I loved it. I especially liked the multiplayer maps and Red Alert. The best advice I can give is destroy enemy harvesters for the big battles, also if you capture a refinery with or without a harvester your harvesters now have more locations to go to instead of all the way to the other side of the maps
I love this. I don't usually care much for Let's play channels but this really sticks out. I wish you the best luck.
16:17 "NOD can use infantry to counter GDI tanks. It doesn't make sense from a realism standpoint"
Russia-Ukraine war shows well-equipped infantry can defeat tanks.
C&C64 was actually a pretty darn good console adaptation of the game, all things considered. Playing RTS games on a console with a controller was not (especially back then) something that had been attempted many times. They did end up making C&C work just fine with the N64 controller and the game played well, and on top of all that it was even in 3D which I thought at the time absolutely acted as a compensation for not having FMVs (and, frankly, quite horrible voice over quality due to the insane audio compression as mentioned in your video).
All in all, a solid 7 or 8 out of 10 game in my book (as far as console RTSes go).
Yeah I'm surprised it was a traditional RTS (build and destroy) so that's pretty impressive to me.
I really love this series! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
My cousin rented this one back in Summer of 2000. What a treasure this game was.
The soundtrack of this game is awesome. They are even on Spotify recorded in studio quality
That's so funny. I just clicked on your channel because I thought "seems like it's been a little bit since Thab uploaded a Every N64 video". This video was posted 26 minutes before I checked.
Can't wait for Starcraft
I didn't realize this came out on the N64. The first time I played C&C was the PS1 port. My brother would bring over his TV and PS1 and we'd hook up the consoles and play multiplayer. As soon as I had a PC able to run the game, I started buying all the C&C games and I've been hooked on RTS games (and cheesy FMVs) ever since. I still love this original game (at least on PC), it and Starcraft are probably still my favorite games in the genre.
man i never even thought to check out RTS’s on N64. That was legit interesting.
Keep up the great work!
I love the graphics on this! I never played C&C on the N64 I might add it to my list!!
fun fact: N64 port is made by Looking Glass Studios of System Shock and Thief fame
I am watching you beat every N64 game, and I mean all of them, the twist is the next video is randomly selected, so I have no clue what's coming next this is the journey to watching you beat every N64 game.
Just want to say I love this series, I absolutely love the different games that I had no idea about on the platform. Keep up the excellent work🤘
This game was the one that ive got with my n64, played a lot. Love it
The Construction Yard itself actually produces a small bit of power; that's how it works.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR THIS!!!!!
I'm so amazed they 3dified the whole thing
Can't wait for Starcraft - played that stuff so much as a kid before I got PC version, but god damn it's challenging.
Really enjoying the series!
" Should have listened when Zack told me about it" xD That burn to Seth.
This is really cool, especially since its 3D compared to the 2D PC version.
Command and Conquer Red Alert now that was a game
Command and Conquer games always looked so fun, but there's been years upon years where I only had consoles. I actually managed to to rent Starcraft for the N64 years ago. RIP Family Video.
30 minutes of thab N64 challenge. Yes please. This game is fun but so hard. I remember playing this as a kid. I never could beat the campaign.
Cool series! I love C&C
Wow, 30+ hours on the game is dedication
Oh, wait for the one coming up in a couple of months*. thabCarry
*Or quicker if there are any two-N64 video weeks in between, but I doubt there will be.
wow that's a good one, one of my favorite n64 game. My brother used to compared his copy of red alert on ps1 over my n64 C&C and i just know he was jealous of the 3D and cool gameplay lol
n64 had better in level graphics (that camera angle is a bit extreme), but the PS had the full cutscenes (compressed to hell)
for the remaster they supposedly had to use the PS cutscenes because they lost the masters for the original PC version.
@@gardian06_85 yeah also red alert was simply a better game but I like how the developers had to work around the system. Always ended up being original. I can't wait to thabeast to play StarCraft!
Every time thab calls Seth "Zack", take a shot. If the name "Seth" is on-screen while he does it, chug. 😂
Sounds like a bet, I am in 😆
I played so many hours into Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun for the PC. never played a strategy game before but was quickly saving/conquering the world.
Hey thab thanks for the video going to enjoy it very much excited to see what comes up next. Have a good week brother.
I love seeing your silent laugh when things go wrong.
So close to body harvest! Can't wait but after this 30 hour game it's probably a good thing you don't have to play it yet
Even as a frozen video, Seth’s “sus” face is pretty great
Good luck when you get to StarCraft. Those last missions in Brood War on a N64 controller were brutal.
I really look forward to these videos. I've been watching since day 1.
yesss always glad to see these vids in my sub box. love this series!
Can't wait for that fishing game, nice!!!
Cant wait to see body harvest, lets go randometer
I love the way Thab pronounces VeeHickles
Can’t wait until starcraft
Sitting at home with Covid and this vid is exactly what I needed. Keep up the noble work Thab
How do you feel ?
Man I love these videos so much
Your voice is so chill and I love it
Really enjoying this series. Can't wait for Goldeneye.
Looking forward to his playthrough of starcraft 64
Getting up there thab. Good job!
A hallmark game. Together with Warcraft II, it had codified the RTS genre.
For many years after that, every new RTS was labeled as either a "C&C clone" or a "Warcraft clone".
Im glad they remastered this game.
I probably put 100 hours into this game. Never played any RTS before this so for me it was great!
I can't wait for you to play Magical Tetris Challenge. One of my favorites
Having to beat RTS games with an N64 trident sounds like how toxic gamers are punished in hell.
Did chat never tell you how to deal with GDI airstrikes? It always targets the top-most, left-most unit. So sacrifice an infantry there periodically.
Generally speaking - unless he *really* hates a game (like a recent fishing game) or it's a Japanese-language game - he doesn't want help like that.
does this game have a skirmish mode?
@@sanityormadness Yep, thank you for pointing that out. There are so many times I see people hop into chat and help him out without any warning, and the frustration on his face is obvious.
Had no idea there was a C&C for N64. And it's on a 3D engine too? Crazy!
1:27 top left....is...is that you? Jon Tron?
Finally I was really worried you stoped your series 😩👍🏼❤️🩹
27:39 Hold up... Are you telling me Taco Bell has wings!? BRB.
FINALY!!! Hope you had fun
Bro I love your Rize Kamishiro cosplay
Cant wait for starcraft 64. If you thought command and conquer was a long playthrough 😂
IN the PC version at least engineers are ABSOLUTELY the best unit. You can take over almost EVERY structure no matter it's health and produce enemy units. As well as build your own structure next to them if you want to expand. And if a harvester is dropping off Tiberium you can take it over during delivery to gain control of it AND the building!
Also, a tip for the obelisk, massed infantry. It can only target one unit at a time so multiple infantry can take it out cheaply and with few casualties.
This was one of my favorite games, just not on console. Love it on PC. I haven't played the N64 one, but I can imagine the experience being horrible as I played the psx one. That was was horrible controls, but at least it had cutscenes.
It wasn’t bad if you used the mouse
why did the n64 get both cnc and starcraft?
@@jesuschrist9677 N64 was the big console at the time. Microsoft wasn't in the market, the ps1 was new, and unproven.
@@jclindsay007 1) the ps1 had a year on the market before the release of the n64, and 2) command and conquer made a big deal of its Full Motion Video, which the n64 had no chance of emulating, and Starcraft 1 while much less focused on Video was from a company renowned for their cinematic cutscenes, plus the ps1 had functionality where two consoles could be connected which would have better emulated the 1v1 feeling of pc starcraft 1.
a legitimate journalist could probably write a very compelling article with a good bit of research, but as a pure guess: this game was published by virgin interactive, who was bought by blockbuster the year prior. I imagine there wasn't much technical foresight from management as much as "why aren't we publishing on the major consoles, get it done whatever it takes"
Hell yeah, I love this series.❤️
"A smooth 30 fps" ahh I miss the 90's
Love this series
I can tell the Westwood lads had a lot of fun porting the game into a 3D space. It makes sense that you can't rotate it though so suedo-3D? I'm really surprised nobody has mad a mod for the PC game to do this too. I guess it isn't all that appreciated in the community! The original in all its sprites only form is fantastic mind you.
not many people know about this game. It's well hidden and wasn't really advertised much. I remember purchasing this at walmart way back when it dropped originally. Freaking love this game. I knew exactly what I was in for because I had the original on PC and played it to death. The 3d was such a great novelty to play and with the ram expansion, was even more fun as the graphics got quite a bit more polish however, the framerate took a small hit. Totally recommend this game for CnC fans.
This game is amazing and now we have a new version on steam
Love the purple hair tbh. hope you keep it
Sweet playthrough ❤
What?! He was 2 away from a banjo game! 😭 So close!!
something about seeing this makes me want to go watch Kelly's Heroes
An interesting thing about this game is that when you use an expansion pack, you can increase the resolution, and with that the game zooms out more than without it^^
But all in all, I feel like that I was mostly frustrated with that game, especially with the last GDI mission, as it gets really hard at the end. Still, I did beat both campaigns back in the days on the N64
He did mention that in the video (honestly, he should probably have shown it. There were a couple of streams where he started in low-res mode and then switched to "hi-res", so there's footage)
21:55 - this background sound is similar to my doorbell sound, I always think someone's on the door.
The hardest mission for me in this game was always the one where you have to capture the helicopter.
So tough 😅
I was wondering what was up with the purple hair. That's really cool!
Lol was waiting for you to play this game, i knew it would be a real hard one for ya
I beat it on n64 way back in 2009 , my lil brother always played it and he'd get me to beat it, i was 15 lmfao
I loved this game back in the day :D
Pretty interesting to see as someone who only ever played the PC versions.
14:26 Due to *Seth's little scheme he pulled, not Zack. Your comment made me think of "Saved by the Bell"
CC Red Alert was one of the first games I ever played
Can't wait for some mario golf
Fave N64 game
Now Seth is a general by whom I'd be proud to be led into war.
