WipeOut 64 (Nintendo 64 - Psygnosis - 1998 - EUR) 🌟 I remember being blown away by WipeOut when it first came out on PlayStation. This game represented everything I was into at the time, such as techno music, cyberpunk and crazy graphic design by The Designer Republic. Its sequel was even better, and I was so jealous not to be able to play a WipeOut game on my N64 (I didn’t have a Playstation at the time). When WipeOut 64 finally came out, I had mixed feelings: it looked less cool on N64, the menu design was less appealing and without being on a CD, the music’s quality and selection wasn’t as revolutionary. But the game shines in the gameplay department, with the analog stick finally making WipeOut playable at high speed: it’s more precise and even the stiffest ships are fun to play. It took me some time to realize that all the race tracks of WipeOut 64 are reused from the two previous installment, with just a new coat of paint and a mirrored. I’ve spent hours in the challenge mode to get all the gold medals and boy that was tough. The cherry on the cake is the multiplayer mode, far more convenient to set up than the PlayStation versions. A personal favorite. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #nintendo64 #n64 #64bits #ultra64 #wipeout #wipeout64 #wipeout2097 #psygnosis
