    I want to say THANK YOU for putting out the Jet Force content and RareWare content. Jet Force Gemini was THE first game my father ever gifted me as a kid, and it's one of the earliest memories I have growing up that I can remember. To this day, it has been my favorite game. And, after 23+ years, I finally beat it this year and it was one of the best days ever.

    I might have an answer to Lupus' cybernetic enhancements, and it's to do with the character select screen
    While the humans Juno and Vela have bio scans showing their brain and nervous systems, Lupus is the only one who shows his skeleton, or at least half of it (for whatever reason, his head doesn't animate to rotate profiles, so it's always from the side). His skeleton and nerve endings shows or seems to imply that he doesn't appear to have front or hind paws, seemingly suggesting that his feet are cybernetic prosthetics that function as his hover engines. The tank upgrade though isn't a full body replacement, it's just grafted around his body. If you look closely at his model, you can see his traces of his real body shrunken underneath to fit in

    I think Wizpig, being a wily villain, got his terrorism sanctioned by the intergalactic racing commission. The Jet Force can't intervene in time because they're stuck navigating the red tape, and all their maverick cops who don't play by the rules are off fighting Mizar.

    Regarding the space station blue door. I remember reading somewhere that Rare originally intended for you to proceed to the center of the ship where its core was. You'd find an NPC who'd give you a spaceship part and would show you a cutscene showing how Mizar attacked the space station and how it came to be abandoned. But due to time constraints it was scrapped. I think they moved the spaceship part to another location as a result, or so I figure. It's a shame they didn't get to add that in because I would have loved to see what exactly happened to the space station!!

    My biggest jfg mystery is what did the original theme song sounded like considering the final main theme was originally the roman world theme from twelve tales Conker 64 yet jfg released right before twelve tales started transitioning into bad fur day so it makes me wonder since other rare games repurposed scrapped ost for other games(scrapped tracks from project dream even made it into viva pinata for example) and maybe the original jfg theme could have been repurposed for bad fur day after scrapping 90% of the twelve tales ost.

    I couldnt get anywhere in this game as a kid lol. So I tried again on Switch as an adult but using a regular controller as an N64 controller is just awkward so I couldnt play any N64 games with any level of control. SO I got a wireless N64 controller for the switch and it works great and tried Jet Force again. Still cant get anywhere lmao, I have lost ALL skill with N64 aiming 😅, too used to modern controls now.

    • @jiggylookback
      @jiggylookback  3 месяца назад

    The absolute worst Rare game on the N64. Even in the 90s I thought it was unplayable. Worse still, it's one of those games in which you need to collect EVERYTHING just to access the final boss.

    • @jiggylookback

      I agree with the collecting everything to complete the game is trash.
      But the worst rare game on 64? Ummm maybe…I don’t think Killer Instinct or Blasts Corps are quite as strong as Gemini, but I guess with N64 titles like DKR and Banjo it is more bottom tier
