HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME IS FAST
...NO LOADING SCREENS FOR ANYTHING!

TURN ON YOUR N64 AND YOU CAN LITERALLY BE IN GODDAMN A RACE IN 22 SECONDS; I FUCKING COUNTED!

Also, F-Zero general. I've still yet to unlock the Joker course after all these years.

Is there any way at all to get the track editor in the English version? Like a romhack or something?

There is a track editor, but it's only by romhacking the game. Not sure if there's any way to emulate the 64dd expansion though.

I beat story mode all on normal, but on hard and very hard the later challenges are impossible.
I actually consider myself to be really good at X as well as GX, but those fucking missions... the race against the phantom Blue Falcon is miserable.

Really? I found that the easiest mission to beat on Very Hard.

>> No.439746

>>439728
The easiest? I'll say that it's one of the easier ones, but for me, the easiest one would be the speed-limit one where you had to stay fast the whole time.

3 is also pretty easy once you master the jumping.

It took several years before I was good enough to unlock X Cup and I was rather bored with the game by that point, but when I unlocked it, it brought back my attention perfectly

Yes.

Played Eternal Darkness one night in a thunderstorm all night long and had the tv off sanity effect trigger twice so far.

Then the tv went off.
and I waited..
And I waited.
The power really did go out.
I just sat there in the dark, with only the flashes of lighting to illuminate my quiet rage.

Turn the console off and sit calmly? No. I stormed up to that console, tore that god damned cartridge out of the slot (while it was still on, of course) and threw that fucker against the wall as hard as I could. That game still works, but there's a plastic bit that rattles inside of it and it looses its saves every now and then.

F-Zero GX is still one of the top 3 racing games of all time.

I think it depends on the region. I'm from the US and I have a comic-esque title screen. Not the unlockable Comic Panel title screen but... y'know.

Beat Master class finally.

>> No.447256

>>446906
Title screen changes depending on what you've beaten. You get a comic one with word bubbles and such by beating the 4 regular cups on Expert, and the machine schematics by beating all of them on Master.

I can't beat Master. I can breeze through Master on GX, but just cannot do ir on X.

seriously it's not that bad. only thing that sucks a bit is draw distance. if you get up close to other vehicles they look undetailed until they are fully detailed. every time. I don't mind flat 2D backgrounds, sprites and so forth.

Go ahead and start with X, F-zero on snes is fine too but X is real easy to find. Might as well get the hardest one out of the way though
