    For some reason people seem to dislike Stunt Race FX... now admittedly it’s been over 20 years since I last played it, but watching videos it seems just as I recall. I think it chugs along quite nicely and I remember it being great fun for what it was. I enjoyed it more than Starfox, it wasn’t until 64 that my jaw dropped...

      Basically stunt Racer FX controls like crap. It wasn't very good back when it was released. Do I own it? Yes. Do I play it? No. I do play Star Fox though.

        The framerate's just too low, it makes it difficult to control as Yakumo mentioned.

        Good looking game though.

          For the time it had tons of tracks for a 3D racer. I quite like the handling once you get used to the appalling frame rate, you kind of rely upon your imagination to fill in the gaps.

            I enjoyed Stunt Race FX at the time, remembering that it was released before the PlayStation and Ridge Racer changed everything. Wasn't anything like it on a home console.

            Ingenous track and character designs, all very Nintendo. Shame that there wasn't a sequel on the Nintendo 64 or GameCube which had the hardware to do justice to the ideas behind it.

              It takes less cart space to define simple polygonal circuits than store a load of sprites and background tiles. It should have loads of tracks.

                I don't think anyone took more than three tracks for granted back then, especially not as many as fifteen.

                  Loft Raider

                  I went up the loft to find my N64 and came down with a load of other tat.
                  PlayStation disc wallet.
                  Inside it was:
                  Tomb Raider II
                  Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
                  Kensei: Sacred Fist
                  Doom
                  Shaolin
                  Syndicate Wars
                  Resident Evil
                  Tekken 3
                  Wu-Tang: Taste the Pain
                  Incredible Crisis
                  The Simpsons Wrestling

                  I'm going to put Shaolin, Wu-Tang and Syndicate Wars on as they were all ace.
                  I can't remember Kensei at all!

                  LOVED this boxart and manual as much as the game.

                    I loved those LCD games and the little carry case for the Game Boy!

                          Oh man, so much tat. Had that time boy and Sega tape too! I think the Sega tape came with either CG&G or Sega Power? I don't remember.

                              I quite liked it at the time.
                              It reminded me of "20 Seconds To Comply" by Silver Bullet.
