This game was so fucking fun back in the 90s. I use to rent an n64 and play the shit out of this then make the sound effects and music with my mouth since I was an idiot little kid.

Best fun until I got a Dreamcast and Powerstone.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 5 23:53:19 2023 No.10042136 >>10042081 This was one of my first N64 games. Such a chill soundtrack and atmosphere, also it has two soundtracks, the original and the Player's Choice one which is what I had

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 5 23:56:43 2023 No.10042145 >>10042136 also the rumble pack version has 2 different tracks

I wouldn't trade being a kid in the 90s for anything in the world. It was pure magic.

My parents got me this game as a doctor's recommendation after I lost my right eye (car accident). I found it to be incredibly hard, but being 9y/o, one eyed and on pills most of the time I think I did pretty good. The game got a lot more fun when I got to play it when I wanted instead of as part of my physical therapy. Nothing but good memories.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 6 06:02:13 2023 No.10042812 >>10042136 >>10042145 So how many different soundtracks is that? 2, 3, or 4?

My whole summer of '97 was spending the whole day with my friends swimming in the pool, then coming home in the afternoon and play WR64. I was in the water the whole day, physically and virtually.
I agree with you, I wouldn't change being a kid in the 90s for any other decade (especially not modern times)

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 6 17:24:05 2023 No.10043823 >>10043792 Sounded like a comfy summer.

I vividly remember being in my room, feeling all chill after a day at the pool, and playing WR64 as the last rays of sunlight lit the sky during the sunset, then playing until it was dinner time later in the night.

Looks like you skipped the tutorial, it's a trick focused game. Despite being on the first stage you missed a buoy too so maybe once you practice a little you'll get better and enjoy it more. Here is how a more skilled player performs.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 6 20:38:10 2023 No.10044364 >>10044359 That's uhh certainly some gameplay. Still looks ugly and boring though.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 6 20:39:49 2023 No.10044372 >>10044364 Yeah, much more exciting than the other guy. I think playing on easy and barely engaging with the mechanics is like playing mario 64 with a d-pad and wondering why the game feels stiff.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 6 20:41:56 2023 No.10044376 >>10044372 I don't think it's possible to make Carve look exciting.

No game will ever match it, we're talking about EAD at their prime. Perfect gameplay, all the tracks are unique, perfect balance and length of the tracks. I mainly use Dave Mariner for the TT and Miles Jeter for the tighter tracks both with custom Jet Sky settings.
