    Never thought I’d see a Quest 64 reference in the wild. Great game.

    Quest64! Wow!

    My favorite game that I could only play a couple of hours of because I couldn’t get past the starting forest area.

      The game is absolutely brutal if you don’t build one of like 3 specific spell builds. The bosses in this game are no joke!

      I couldn’t get past that stupid forest as a kid either, but I did borrow it from a friend and beat it as an adult.

        Maybe I’m just bad, but I found that you have to go water and earth because otherwise the last boss just wrecks you.

          I remember from talks had during some speed runs I watched that there were a few viable builds. You could do fire/earth for melee or water/wind with a little bit of earth which is what I did in my playthrough. I definitely cheesed the movement stat though.

      I had it, but I had no idea what I was doing, so I didn’t make it very far.

      I don’t remember if this came out before or after we got internet at home (and I never had the Nintendo Power magazine), so there wasn’t much to do about that.

      I didn’t have a memory card and had to beat the whole game on a single load.

      Was not easy.

    Hey Quest 64! I almost beat this game as a kid, I think I was renting it.

    I miss Blast Corps and Body Harvest as well, so many unique games on N64. Body Harvest was a clear predecessor to the 3D GTA games, being able to jump into any vehicle felt insane at the time.

    Dude. I’m playing this right now. Also never thought I would see anyone reference this game. Also doing a run through of Aidyn Chronicles.

    This game was the only one that managed to give me motion sickness. I don’t know what was up with the graphics, but I felt nauseous after watching my brother play it for a few hours. Maybe it was all the flashing lights, small fonts, repetitive music, and confusing camera angles.

    Quest 64 is my FAVORITE “bad” game! The difficulty spikes were annoying, the damn island that traps you there until you kill a boss is always stronger than I am, the game drones on near the end, but there was nothing like that combat system on the N64! I want a modern remake to solve the many problems plaguing this game!
