I trust Thab to be selective enough with his sponsors. I don’t remember who but I saw someone this week try and promote that Skull and Bones game which is getting critically obliterated, and thought that was a little embarrassing.
My uncle was a developer on this game, he was one of the world moddelers. The track with no barriers was suppsoed to have them but was overwritten by an older versoion of the track before the barriers were added. However it wasn't caught before release and as there was no way to patch it after release it stayed that way. I remember playing this as a kid and trying to build up loads of qualifying points as I'd usually come last on that track, however with enough points you can still scrape by.
This was my game! Spent so many hours and I 100% the game multiple times. It was so addictive and the music puts you in a party mode. A lot of nostalgia.
If it's any consolation, I doubt it's actually a "love letter" game. I bet that's just as good as they could get the graphics on their limited budget, so they decided to call it a "7th generation homage" to make the subpar graphics seem intentional.
Yeah, this is one of those games I have great memories of. The sense of speed, especially at the time, felt pretty unrivalled. It was absolutely crazy. Fully agree about the soundtrack, too. So many bangers.
I definitely get the feeling those cheats at the end were some kind of dev tools to help them model the game. Lower graphics, partially invisible tracks. Even the ‘bonus track’ looks like it was a demo track for testing and they just kept it in lol
"maybe even the best soundtrack on the 64" yea man this games soundtrack was actually insanely cutting edge, Goa trance had just started solidifying as a genre around 95 and this games music is really ahead of where the genre was at the time. This is closer to like 1998-1999 styles thanks to the higher bpm. Game's ost shaped my taste in music forever 💜
I played the hell out of this game back in the day, and I think a big part of that was the banger of a soundtrack. Even to this day, I'll sometimes put on the Extreme-G soundtrack on in the background while I work.
I love seeing people visit the Extreme-G games, be it, the first, second, third or fourth. Since I speedrun each game in the Extreme-G series, I always love seeing people say that they loved playing this game. I will always standby my statement that XG1 is one of the best racers on the Nintendo 64, yeah F-Zero X is cool and all, but Extreme-G just FEELS fast. for F-Zero you have to hit a certain speed threshold to have the game feel fast. I hope you enjoyed the playthrough of the game. I am not surprised that you just unlocked "Bonus Track - The Island" with the unlock code haha.
I actually had this as a kid. I remember thinking it was like a hard star wars episode 1 pod racer. The sense of speed in this game is amazing. It's hard but still fun to play. An underrated gem
Enjoyed playing this one as a kid. I remember using a "fisheye" cheat to give a faster appearance to driving and then also infinite boosters to make the speed through the roof. You couldn't really tell what was going on, but i thought it was so cool going that fast haha. Last year my kids wanted to have a dance party (they're 2 and 4), so i put this game's soundtrack on and strobelight the bedroom. They had a blast haha
Your videos are a bright spot in my weeks. This video was a particular blast of nostalgia as I remember getting it as a block bluster rental once and could never remember the name.
I think the first time on youtube i dont skip the ad. Its crazy to think its unbelievable to see an ad thats actually logical for the content and not insulting my intelligence 😂
One of the early exclusives for N64. This is actually very good series with lots of cult fanbase even these days. Shame that there has been only 3 sequels, really.
omg this is the one i've been waiting for. I begged my parents for this game when I was younger, and played this religiously. all i remember is that no one else wanted to play this vs Tony Hawk or Smash hahaha. oh well, this is an awesome nostalgia boost, thank you.
Extreme g3 for the GameCube was so good. One of my favourite racing games. Super tight level design. Banger soundtrack. And driving just feels so fluid.
Thanks for the vid :) I watched the custom robo vods, was a nice game and thab's voice acting really complements it And having a fan translation was huge
Cool to see so many people remember this one. I too played many hours and used to CRUSH my nephews who weren't really old enough to be good at games yet. 😂
Surpised nobody has mentioned since this video this game got added to Nintendo Switch Online's expansion pack thanks to a company named Throwback Entertainment.
The sequel was my jam as a kid. More a cross between Mario kart and SW episode 1 racer. Breaking the sound barrier was a surprise experience. A collection from what I called "mom saw it on sale at blockbuster". And this was one that ended up great
I really like this project, your style and this whole project. There are loads of N64 nostalgia channels out there, but most of them ignore the deeper cuts/rarer games (such as this one) which is great for me; I owned around 70-80 N64 games, and some of my fondest memories are with these so called "B tier" games
the 'fergus' code references Fergus McGovern, the founder of Probe Entertainment, who developed this game. the code was originally on the genesis version of Mortal Kombat II, which they helped port
Man this game is faster paced than I remember. I grew up with this game and Re-volt, along with F-zero of course. I guess I can thank these devs for my love of tough racing games
Love this series. Always hyped when I see a new video drop. Even better when it's a game I played as a kid. I haven't thought about this game in years, but I have fond memories playing it.
Good luck with Xtreme-G 2 them. On the highest difficulty it's pretty hard. The game is extremely good, but it lags sooooo much. The soundtrack is also amazing, I personally prefer the 2. I always wanted a remake of those two games. They have so much potential. Although there is a third one for the cube and did not work. xD Love the project, beast! Keep the excellent work!
Extreme G and the later PS2 title XGRA are awesome. XGRA has some pretty impressive sense of speed and when you go in areas with no atmosphere everything goes dead silent except the sound of your driver breathing, etc
17:25 I remember back in the day one of the gaming mags (might've been EGM or Game Informer) described that cheat code as how the game would look if it was ported to PlayStation.
For almost 25 years I've been trying to remember this game I've had this as a 5-7 year old and me and my friends would always play 4 player and that was the first time it ever happened in my life...thank you thab love you so much ❤️
Had this as a kid. Mastered it to the point i didn't hit a single wall in a race. Thats a feeling hard to recreate. This game, with blastcorps has a special place in my heart.
Absolute blast this game, but i definitely understand the frustration.. It's also often too fast to be playable while boosting, in the Gamecube version the tracks are much more ' elongated ' which supported the insane speeds alot more. But the N64 just wasn't capable of stuff like that, still a blast though!
Had this as a kid good time, had no idea there was lore for this game. Im sure when you go fast enough to break the sound barrier game goes all quiet, thought that was so cool
I should try the first ExtremeG. I got ExtremeG 2 the year it released as a Christmas gift. Absolutely adored the game! I had an awesome sound system at the time and would blast the music of the game :) One strat I learned as a kid was to just sit there and blow everyone else up and finish the race in first place because there was no one left lol
It's sad that this game never had a proper franchise till these days. The concept, although not new at all, obviously, was really well executed. Maybe someone could make a BallisticNG mode remaking this game.
Is there going to be another video on Tuesday? I think that’s what you meant in your community post and that the following week it will be back to one, but I’m not sure. You’re doing a great job, these all have a very consistent quality to them, which is amazing since the games themselves vary tremendously.
Owned these games and eventually 1 & 2 back in the day and eventually got vooe enoough to barely ever smack the walls on the hardest setting I loved this game the music, the tracks and the finally difficulty when all the PCs are cut throat is insane
One of my favorite games :) imagine this and the sequel got remade, with upgraded visuals, oh how I wish there was another racing game like this. Wait til you play the sequel "XG2" you break the goddamn sound barrier in it, sound/music become muffled too :0 I've never seen that in any racing game.
Back in the day, my parents got my brother and I am N64 but didn't pick up any games, so we went to Toys R Us to pick one out. My older brother convinced me we should get Extreme G. Not Mario 64 or anything else. I loved this game, but it was literally the only 64 game we had for quite a while, which is nuts.

Thanks for another great video. This series is just excellent thanks man
Congrats to Sponsorship ❤️ and thank god it is Not Nord VPN or RAID 😂
i absolutely loved this game when i was growing up.
Looks like a zombie decent game. Is $29.99 the sales price? That's what it's listed on Steam.

I'm eating a 20 pack of tacos from Taco Bell. And I mean all of them.
Cmon man...
This is my journey to getting explosive diarrhea.
I did just eat door dash McDonald breakfast it was glorious
Comment envy 😅
The twist is the next bowel movement is randomly selected so I have no idea when I'll have to shit. This is my journey to getting explosive diarrhea

1:05 Hearing that "love letter" games are now being made for the 7th generation era made me instantly turn into a skeleton and die of old age.
did you die after you turned into a skeleton?
30 years ago is 1990 not 1960
If it's any consolation, I doubt it's actually a "love letter" game. I bet that's just as good as they could get the graphics on their limited budget, so they decided to call it a "7th generation homage" to make the subpar graphics seem intentional.
@@thecianinator If I take off my glasses, I can't tell the difference between a good looking PS2 game and the latest PS5 release.
@@myrojynOh yeah, and we're further away from the release of Bowling for Soup's "1985" than that song was from the year 1985.
Come for the beast. Stay for the marbles.

Its a mineral

Is the pizza, yeah, for you and...
Me-hee-hee-hee-yee!
W comment
I loved that nugget about the recycled text for the sequel. Great investigative work!
It’s also worth mentioning if your shield is empty, the walls immediately drop your speed to nearly zero, as do all damage sources.
The ‘roller’ cheat basically turns this game into a new version of the marble race haha
I love how the marble race in the end makes it exciting to see what the next game will be!
I was so hyped for Rainbow Six Siege when it was leading the race, I play the current version on PS5

Bomberman Hero + this
One of the best soundtrack in history of gaming
man the lore to this game actually goes pretty hard.

The marble run is probably my favorite way to decide the next game
this game is in my top 5 n64 games (f-zero x, goldeneye, zelda oot, perfect dark, xtreme g)
PS: the emp reverse your stearing, but you can stear.
PPS: "uglymode" was a mockery of wipeout on the ps1 from the developers ;)
You can boost so fast in this game that the screen inverts. It's amazing.
I have the biggest grin on my face knowing you're getting sponsorships. So proud of you bud!
this game was HEAVY in the rental rotation for me in 1997, along with Cruis’n USA and Wave Race 64
Extreme g3 for the GameCube was so good. One of my favourite racing games. Super tight level design. Banger soundtrack. And driving just feels so fluid.
There was a third one?
Extreme G 2 is ma favorite...now i have to try the third one...
@@cmbaz1140 dude. Grab Dolphin and emulate that shit. Its just buttery smooth.
@@alexmacdougall5700 yeah just watched a few videos...
its wierd that i missed this title but now i can play it for the first time...
@@cmbaz1140 genuinely a little jealous actually
@@alexmacdougall5700 ha ha ha...thanks
Great you're getting these kinds of sponsors man. 👍 Keep up the good work.
The next one isn't a wrestling, racing, or sports game. Its a miracle!
"Roller" turns this game into a marble race.
Thanks for the vid :)
I watched the custom robo vods, was a nice game and thab's voice acting really complements it
And having a fan translation was huge
Cool to see so many people remember this one. I too played many hours and used to CRUSH my nephews who weren't really old enough to be good at games yet. 😂
I did the same and with just one hand!!! (you steer with the stick and accelerate with z, so really nothing to boast about)
Surpised nobody has mentioned since this video this game got added to Nintendo Switch Online's expansion pack thanks to a company named Throwback Entertainment.
Didn't notice Thab driving the car in the thumbnail shot for this video. Well played sir
This music track began a lifelong love of techno music. Great game
Ehhh grats on the sponsor man, you deserve it with all the hard work youre putting into this series.
been waiting for this one since the series started! all that's left to relive my childhood are Aerofighters Assault, Perfect Dark and SF Rush 2049
The sequel was my jam as a kid. More a cross between Mario kart and SW episode 1 racer. Breaking the sound barrier was a surprise experience.
A collection from what I called "mom saw it on sale at blockbuster". And this was one that ended up great

This is SUCH a cool series man, someday I will binge all of these
Extreme G is goated and the soundtrack slaps ridiculously hard. Been waiting for this one!
Love this game as a kid and never heard anything about it for like over 20 years. What a nostalgia hit.
Love this series. Always hyped when I see a new video drop. Even better when it's a game I played as a kid. I haven't thought about this game in years, but I have fond memories playing it.
"now I really want a rock racing game"
Rock of ages?
I was looking for a comment that mentioned this game! Thab doesn’t realize a “rock racing game” already exists, and it even has a sequel.
Good luck with Xtreme-G 2 them. On the highest difficulty it's pretty hard. The game is extremely good, but it lags sooooo much. The soundtrack is also amazing, I personally prefer the 2. I always wanted a remake of those two games. They have so much potential. Although there is a third one for the cube and did not work. xD

Extreme G and the later PS2 title XGRA are awesome. XGRA has some pretty impressive sense of speed and when you go in areas with no atmosphere everything goes dead silent except the sound of your driver breathing, etc
These videos are a highlight and something to look forward to on Friday (and now sometimes Tuesday!)
Thab you just made my night thank you. I've heard a rumour that you mean all of them?

"That was quick"
That's the XG series in a nutshell!
I love Extreme-G, even today still own my physical copy of it from when I was a kid.

The soundtrack to this game definitely imprinted on me in some way, alongside Buck Bumble
I love seeing the soundtrack of this game getting the recognition it deserves. It slaps so hard
"There's nothing I could do" should be made into a shirt and capture your most important deaths as people could relate to it (on more popular games)
Agreed.
I got Extreme G and Star Wars Rogue Squadron with my N64 for christmas. This one is very nostalgic for me
I would have just numbered the marbles. Can get the fun race, and still get the "Number xx!! What's that!?" meme outta the change.
Your hability to not rage quit these shitty ass games is inspiring and really respectable tbh lol
Had this as a kid good time, had no idea there was lore for this game. Im sure when you go fast enough to break the sound barrier game goes all quiet, thought that was so cool

@@Thabeast721 Got it, thanks for the reply :)
After watching your vods for these, I feel so much more validated for getting frustrated with games 😂
Today we are blessed my brothers.
Owned these games and eventually 1 & 2 back in the day and eventually got vooe enoough to barely ever smack the walls on the hardest setting I loved this game the music, the tracks and the finally difficulty when all the PCs are cut throat is insane
and yes, the marbles edition to the videos is revolutionary.. I'm all for it
The EMP wave thing, you want to slow down and hug the walls when you hear it coming.
I have very fond memories of this game. I first played it 27 years ago with my cousin on the n64 he got for his birthday.
This is one of my hallmark 64 games, glad to see the love finally - it wasn't that popular
Great game. I’m glad you replayed it on the harder difficulties for the overview video.
One of my top ten N64 games ever! This game is awesome!
17:33
Ferguson McGovern, Rest in peace.
YES! Been waiting for Custom Robo!
Extreme G is my all time favorite racing game. I still play it to this day.
You can actually r1 to slide so you can make turns at high speeds. And these bikes are remote controlled while the sequel has drivers.
I used to spend HOURS playing this game. That soundtrack is burned into my brain forever
One of my favorite games :) imagine this and the sequel got remade, with upgraded visuals, oh how I wish there was another racing game like this.
Wait til you play the sequel "XG2" you break the goddamn sound barrier in it, sound/music become muffled too :0 I've never seen that in any racing game.

Wait till part 2!😂
Sadly I had F-zero x and Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing. I did not have much more room for another racer !
You should see if you can't find a way to try this one. The sense of speed is kinda similar to pod racer
There's dozens of racing games on the 64, you had plenty of room!
you couldn't get more classic with this one
Finally, the game we have all really been waiting for
I can't believe Wanted Dead is still being advertised
Why is it I imagine the Beverly Hillbillies (excellent series) when Thab starts hawking the new promo-commercials?
So glad Custom Robo won, know nothing about the series other than Smash Bros references so looking forward to your next video.
It's a great little series, exactly as charming as you'd expect. Really hope _Arena_ gets ported onto the Switch.
The soundtrack in this game is so awesome. So many bangers
Used to spend hours on this game, staying up late with my older brother eating hot pockets.
It's always a great day with a new N64 video from you!
