Micro Machines 64 Turbo review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using a dazzle and on an original real N64 console and game cartridge.

I've had this game since the 90's, and a couple times dug it out of my box around 2015 to play with some people who had never seen it and were used to their ps4's with amazing graphics... But when we played this we would always get super into it and laugh and shout at each other... Sometimes it's the simple games that are the best.
The first time I played this game, it was while renting it for a weekend from my local store. I ended up buying the game when they were selling their n64 games to make room for ps2 rentals. I still have the truck the game came with
Omg I just described this game terribly to someone and said I couldnt remember it and they found it immediately! It's been bugging me for a decade
I just noticed that you are the one and only game reviewer on my subscription list. I don't know how you do it, but I find your reviews very engaging. Usually I only watch reviews on games I've already played but I find I come back every time a new upload comes up. I get excited because it's almost as if I forget you even exist until I see your videos pop up. This is also the first time I've glanced at your subscriber count since subing too and, my goodness, you've grown 3 times as big. Congratulations. Keep up the good work.
I have this game for 1 reason. 2 Player mod with tanks. Race and shoot against eachother on a dining table. It's simple but damn so much fun. MUST have for the multiplayer N64 gamer.
very fun game for sure. i remember being home from school really sick and playing this game for hours in a trance-like state...
Loved this one as a kid.
Same :]
What a series?! In love this game but nothing beats the Mega Drive experience for nostalgia 💖
48 tracks? thats a lot even for today standads
I remember playing this on Windows95 back in the day, it was titled Micro Machines V3. Thanks for this nostalgic video, Glenn!
I love the chalk-drawn road course!
Finally found it in the wild today for €5. Really a steal considering the nostalgia I have for the GB version, and the higher price it goes for online.
this was one of my favourite games as a kid
I never played the Micro Machines games on the Sega Genesis. But would absolutely love to play it and own it on my collection, as well as the European exclusive Turbo Tournament on the Mega Drive, after seeing multiple gameplay videos on RUclips. I happened to stumble across Micro Machines 64 Turbo at one of my local retro game stores at a very cheap price. The fact that they kept the classic overhead view was awesome. I'll be sure to pick this one up.
This game was extremely fun and underrated imo and forgotten a lot.
Underrated?The Game had good scores
@@colemandeadolf9690 based on every top whatever lists it's always forgotten. Especially as a racer it gets overlooked
Classic, great review.
I absolutely loved this game since day 1. The courses were all so well thought out and I often played them just to see the cool effects like being sent through that science experiment in your video. Don't know how I was so good it it back then because now I get frustrated at the bad camera angles and extremely touchy controls.
Memories man!! Memories
Loved playing this game with my siblings, I would argue we played this game more the diddy Kong racing haha
Damn, totally forgot about this game!
Played it back in the day at my friends house and both of us got really addicted to it ^^
+Diablokiller999 agreed a forgotten classic
looks really good, so I'll have to keep my eyes open for it.
I definitely have to pick this game up
Now this is a series I haven't seen in ages. I used to play Micro Machines on CD-I of all things and it's one of the few worthwhile games on the system. I've never heard of this entry before, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for it now. The lack of music while racing irks me a bit, as it feels like a lazy way of getting around the limitations of the cartridge format, much like what happened with Duke Nukem 64.
I remember playing this game with a family friend (a crush of mines at the time) dropped by my place. I would always go easy on her lol. I loved the game but traded it in for Mario Kart 64. They are both great games. Hope Nintendo could make a sequel to this on the Switch
It amazes me how many racers where on the N64, Looking back I wish there was more variety. Racers are great, but I think we need like ten tops.
I like your videos Glenn
This is such a great game, in fact this is the only game i play on N64 besides Mario Kart. It is easy to learn and hard to play. Why are there not more games like these?
I just recently bought Micro Machines Turbo 64, and at first I was turned off by how loose the controls were. But with enough time, I managed to get used to them a little. Pretty sure with enough time, I'll be able to master it. Mind you, I never played the original Genesis game, nor the European Mega Drive exclusive Turbo Tournament, but would LOVE to! Turbo 64, as hard as it is, isn't a bad game at all!
This and starfox 64 were the first video games I played.
I have the nes version, but for some reason the screen flickers on it inconsistently...can't figure out why!
So sad that I never got this at the time! The only version I've ever played is the original CodeMasters gold cart for NES. The tracks are so similar! Definitely want to pick up this one.
**EDIT**
I feel like I didn't buy it, because i assumed that it would be from a rear-cam perspective, like the majority of racing games on the console. Pleasantly surprised by this!
Hope you find it for a good price and enjoy it!
Is there anybody out there that didn't play as Spider?
I loved this game but have no idea when I picked it up. It's just always been in my collection.
I never knew there was a micromachines game for the N64 :O
When the camera changes position suddenly, does that throw off your steering Glenn? 2:55-2:58
great channel
+Stuart Corps thanks stuart
Retro Love
This looks amazing (faults aside), love MM and I need this in my life! Is it expensive?
Lawnboyspost1975 (The Home Of Dave) No it doesn't
Have you played Toybox Turbos? It's basically a new Micro Machines game from the same developer without the Micro Machines license.
Aw man, there's no music when racing? That's a buzz kill. Everything else about it looks pretty awesome.
The megadrive micro machine games were the best imo, the nintendo 64 game is good too i just think it loses some of its charm going 3D. Worth playing even today especially if you like playing with friends in your actual room huddled around a big tube tv having a few drinks and great fun! I wish more people loved playing split screen then i could invite them to mine for some goldeneye and mario kart tournaments :)
Review Rocket Robot On Wheels please.
Codemasters released Toybox Turbos a couple of years ago if you're pining for some micro machines action :)
Yeah... but its not the same thing
Been ages since I played any of these games. This one was well-made, but the camera angles just made these games too frustrating for me, not being able to see far ahead.
Man i couldn't imagine having 8 people crammed onto 4 controllers. I guess its cool that you have that option but people would have to be really desperate to play instead of just taking turns.
One of the games who appear near to the end of the N64 cycle. And also i never buy since i sold my n64 few weeks later.
But as always, nice review.
Btw, sorry of the lack of comments. I've been working on a small project on my youtube account. ^^
This is one of the few games that Nintendo Power gave strongly negative review scores.
Crazy right - it’s such a good game in terms of micro machines games etc
wow, i forgot how much i enjoyed this one has a kid. i forgot about it, to be honest. watching this video was quite emotional. lovely times.
i got this with my nintendo 64 which my nan got for around july 1999 if i remember likely. got it from some add in freeadds . cant remember all the games it came with, but it was bloody many. and if i remember likely she got it all for £160. shamefully in 2001 my nans house got robbed and i lost everything =/ still pissed about that haha. didnt start over again until like 2008. some of the games i still ain't got becaue of how pricey they are.. Makes me sad that some crack head went on to sell it all to some other twat for way to cheap.
Damn that's such a shame. My room caught fire and I lost my N64 and a few games but most survived, but what happened to your nan s far worse actually, crazy how life can be
Buen juego pero las Skins de los personajes me daban algo de miedo solo por eso lo deje de jugar...
I never liked playing this by myself. With friends and family it's always hilarious.
V4! V4! V4!
I always thought the first games on the Megadrive and Amiga weren't very good so never looked at this back at the time, looking at it now it still doesn't interest me. I think this one's an acquired taste.
+Barry's World I agree, I can't get round the fixed camera view, something about viewing the vehicles from above makes it feel awkward
Way too long since the last game...almost 10 years now.
They should at least put the old games on digital services.
This game always felt like a letdown after the Mega Drive ones. The cars / courses lacked inertia / speed and the features were cut down too (there was 8 player without a multitap too). Having said that I did play the PS1 original of this a lot back in the day and have this N64 version sat ready to try out so it'll be interesting to see how it compares in terms of feel.
I don't know Glenn. This looks pretty primitive.
As far as i know (and correct me if im wrong) the PS1 version runs at 60fps. If that's true, it makes this version an inferior port. Which is a shame considering the stronger hardware.
The ps1 version does look sharper but didn't realise there was a framerate difference as well. Looking it up though the PS1 was running at 60fps and there is no mention of it doing the same on the N64.
The PS1 does indeed run at 60 fps but there´s framerate drops everywhere, so maybe locking it to 30fps was the best idea for the N64 version. Also the n64 version looks betterm the cars have a higher poly count and the particle effects are much more realistic
first
I loved the PS1 version, didn't like this version.
May I ask why? It's a direct port.
The music is different, the characters don't look as good and the gameplay was not as good. The PS1 version was more crisp and feels better in my opinion. Much like A Bug's Life and Gex, some games were made for the PS1. But for the N64 versions of those games, it's like trying to put Crash Bandicoot on the N64.
Baz The Storyteller Why was the gameplay not as good? Lower framerate or lag in the controls? I ask because I am interested in buying the N64 version but have only ever tried the PS1 version.
BTW Crash Bandicoot wouldn't be problematic to port to N64, it would have probably missed the FMVs and had lowered quality music though.
On the other hand fighting games (due to N64 pad layout) and adventure games with big assets (due to cartridge space limitation) would have been problematic to port over N64.
The PS1 version had better music and the characters looked better because they were rendered with CGI. But when it comes to gameplay, the N64 version looks better and runs better, also the difficulty was balanced in the N64 version because the PS1 can be extremely cheap sometimes.
This game is definitely one that requires a crap ton of hours to master, yet so incredibly tedious and boring to bother with. The decision, by it's developers, to force such camera angles, blows my mind. This is an easy pass for me.
Most annoying game ever made
What don’t you like about it?
@@n64glennplant you just keep falling off the stages it's frustrating
