#Thabeast #BeatingEveryN64Game #NASCAR99
What a lot of people probably don't know about this championship battle which is interesting is if Dale Jarrett led a lap in the final race than thabeast would have lost the title by 1 point. Back in these days in NASCAR you got 5 points for leading a lap and another 5 points if you led the most laps. Since he didn't lead a lap he didn't get the bonus points.
this was the point system used in 1998 (the year of the game's release)
1st - 175 points
2nd- 170 points
3rd - 165 points
4th - 160 points
5th - 155 points
6th - 150 points
7th to 11th drop in increments of 4 points per postion with 7th being 146 points and 11th being 130 points
12th to 43rd drop in increments of 3 points per postion with 12th being 127 points and 43rd being 34 points
The “totally human Jeff Gordon” was cracking me up. Great video!
Any relation to Michael Human?
These are so well put together, I look forward to watching them every Friday. Great job!
My mom wanted me to play this when I was kid since she was a diehard NASCAR fan. She was upset that it lacked the necessity of pitstops, and back then I begged to differ, but know I see it differently. Pitstops add to player control and calculation. Not having them is like doing a precision level in Mario but with unlimited mushrooms.
Ye, this game went for what the Gran Turismo series has always done. Realism etc. That the car could break down and lose a tire etc. is what set it apart from other driving games. Automatic handling and lack of pitstops takes away from that aspect of it tho. This is the type of racing game that shines with the details as "player control and calculation" as you put it. Definitely not the game for ThaBeast but definitely a game that was enjoyed by a lot of people when it was released because it wasn't unrealistic.
@@T3n50r but it looks like the devs new that they made a specialized game that could end up in kids hand, so they made a decent attempt at a compromise
Totally Human Jeff Gordon vs. Michael Human would be a heck of a matchup
As a nascar fan since the mid 90s can 100% confirm that Dick Trickle was a legit driver. He never won in the top level in NASCAR but he won over 1000 short track races across the country during his driving days.
Would be kinda funny if Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth ended up being some space race game where you have to hold left to go around the earth and the winner makes it vanish
Impressive you managed a 13 minute review of just turning left.
You should see how many minutes he has on just going right!
@@nathanboolin "I understood that reference"
Did you literally not watch the ducking video
@@blindwhy What's with the attitude? Did your mom limit your Fortnite playing time?

Thab this is my favorite series of any creator on YT right now. Even the bad games are fun to watch, and I'm stoked for the good ones. Keep it up!
I don't think you really comprehend the extreme technical limitations of the N64. This game also released on the PS1. That version had better graphics, full, licensed music tracks, higher quality sound effects, and pre-recorded FMV sequences. The PS1's maximum size for a game was 660 MB. For the N64, it's only 64 MB, less than 10%. The fact that they were able to get all the cars and tracks into the game without any sacrifices is a real feat. Once that was done, there wasn't a lot of room left. Graphics and sounds are expensive data-wise, so they had to compress everything down, loop what little music they could fit, and sacrifice the FMVs in favor of text walls. It's easy to look back on this game, nearly a quarter of a century later, and wonder why every driver looks like a cursed mannequin. But, we could play as ANY driver on ANY track, in 3D. We could wreck up our cars and have them drive like crap. We could race a full season at 100% length if we wanted to. Those were the real NASCAR commentators delivering those voice lines. That was groundbreaking stuff in 1998.
I really like how you make things sound suspenseful without giving away the ending!
For some of the races I really couldn't tell if you were going to win or lose based on the inflection of your voice.
I just started this playlist and didn't realize how hooked I was until video 15. Great idea for a series.
The best way to play this game is by turning around and driving the wrong way into traffic while the announcer casually says "Whoa, there goes a tire!" over and over.
My dad loves playing nascar games and played the ps3 version for so many years and ive watched him play that game so much that i can reconise the tracks in this game...
Good for you.
So you recognized an oval shape. Impressive
The "human" model is terrifying.
Plastic man
Grew up on the N64 and alot of these games. Grew up and sold it all but got back into collecting 64 stuff a few years back just to play again. Man this series is great! Thanks for doing this with such care!
"Dick Trickle? that cannot be somebody's real name, I refuse to believe that" that's also me when I heard about Dick Pound lol
I am beating every N64 game. The twist is that I'm skipping all racing and sports games. See you next week for the final episode.
That should remove about 2/3 of the games for you LOL
That’s not a twist, that’s a short cut lol.
@@danielblaise156 the fact that there is a shortcut is the twist
I had this game for awhile when I was young and I really sucked at it, so I would turn around and go the wrong way just to go as fast as possible and crash head on into the oncoming cars. That actually made the game really enjoyable for me.
I saw so many comments about crashing being more enjoyable than the actual gameplay in this game, which I’m not surprised at all 😂
"They're trying to make a realistic racing game."
*proceeds to win after one of his wheels falls off*
well, technically you can win a formula 1 race by leaving the car, taking the stearing wheel and running to the finish line.
One time a guy finished upside down *and* on fire.
Yea… when I was like 10 my cousin accidentally pushed someone into pit lane which we found hilarious. We then started to turn damage off, race at Martinsville, be vigilantes, “cream Jeffy” and make him be multiple laps down. I think our record was like 68 in a full race. Way more fun than nascar
As someone who was raised on NASCAR (Rusty Wallace fan, #2 Car), this game was in rotation a lot as a kid. The funny thing is, you say you prefer more unrealistic racing games...but this was actually very unrealistic for a NASCAR game, it was more Arcadey, and they became more sim based with each installment. I eventually stopped watching NASCAR a few years back and stopped caring about the games around NASCAR Thunder 2006 or so...but these were a lot of fun back during this time.
The funniest entry yet?! Another great one, looking forward to whatever Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth is.
"fighting off a nap"
might be my new favorite roast
You have a knack for making content out of even the most snooze-inducing games.
Dude playing this on 4 way split screen with your friends on a huge box tv is probably one of my most wholesome core memories I have.
well if you don't understand the sport then I guess it's a snoozer lol
I just realized if you're releasing one video every week, this series will take you over 7 YEARS. Good lord.
That gives us time to develop and release new N64 games to keep it going!
@@inthefade that would never happen
@@hinglemccringleberry9389 There are 3 full Goldeneye campaigns. Last one came out last year. A new Zelda game. Lots of Mario 64 rom hacks with entire new worlds, some of a more Kaizo like difficulty. And a bunch of F Zero X track packs. Should he beat all of those as well? Well, he's beating every N64 game. Those are N64 games. So add a couple of years to that.
@@desamsterthose are not n64 games. U can't play them on the original n64 console so those do not count.
@@KingLee8977 You can actually. But not all off them. Ppl play them on original hardware using Everdrive.
“It actually felt like I was playing a racing game rather than fighting off a nap”. I think that’s also what was in Nintendo magazine when this came out.
We used to play this a lot back in the day. One of us would go backwards to take out the other racers so the other player would win lol
After my parents got me Nascar one rental because they didn't want their kid playing Driver... I stopped trying to beat the race and just drove backwards building up speed so I could cause a head-on collision. Effectively still doing the same thing to me as I would have had happened if they had gotten Driver.
driver was good
Big brained that one. I love it
8:14 loses a tire and proceeds to body block Dale Earnhardt like a macho man for the last quarter lap.
"POS Lap" would have been a better title.
The fact this poor kid didn't know who dale Earnhardt was upsets me
He also killed him at 8:15
"No one could have guessed the next track"
*Laughs in NASCAR*
Yeah, people don't know that NASCAR races on road courses
1:12 yes that was his real name and he passed away via suicide in 2013 at the same graveyard as his grand daighter he called 911 and said “there’s going to be a dead body suicide” the operator asked who it would be he said “I’m the one” and hung up the phone and took his life beside his pickup truck I used to joke about the name but recently learned about the death and decided to stop using it as a joking manor as respect for him anyways hope everyone is having a good year
I'm gonna watch all of these no matter how stupid the game sounds
ThaB: "I think what people want in a driving video games is very unrealistic driving physics."
Forza players: 😡🤬😡
(Edit: Grammar)
I had this game on PS1 as a kid and played it a lot (mainly the opposite way on the track and getting into head on collisions to flip around)
NASCAR 95 on PS1 had a paintball mode. You shot paintballs out of the front of your car. The other cars would crash if you shot them. It was great. Plus, it has Molly hatchet flirting with disaster on the soundtrack.
I remember playing this game when I was younger with my friend.
Love the content as usual thab! Keep it up! Btw, do you think you will start to upload these more frequently? In this pace we will be finished in about 7 & 1/2 year haha! Maybe twice a week would be good? Anyway, however you do I will watch them till this series is finished!
Turbo Mode makes this game way more fun to play. It feels like Daytona USA.
I subbed you just because you knew Surfin With The Alien. Mad respect!
0:57 what kind of demon are you summoning with all these names? LOL
Most of NASCAR is a circle but they are actually different types of ovals. Here are some of the different types:
1.5 Mile Oval
1.5 Mile D Shape
1 Mile Oval
.5 Mile Oval
.75 Paper Clip Oval
Massive High Speed 2 Mile Oval
2.2 Mile Triangle
2 Mile Rectangle
.75 Mile Pear Shape Oval
Then there's a few road courses
With all that being said I dont really watch much NASCAR anymore because my guy won the championship already lol
This was one of my first 2 n64 games as a kid…. Luckily my other game was Diddy Kong Racing. In this game all I would do is drive off in the dirt and ram into my friend. The only fun to be had.
I'm watching every video in this series, and I mean all of them. The twist is, I shuffled the play list, so I have no idea what's coming next
Fun fact those two not-circle courses are known as 'road courses' and Jeff Gordon in his prime was the best at those.
I’ve never heard of next week’s game, but it doesn’t sound like a sports/racing game! Im excited!
Pretty cool they have SRV in this game. He's my idol. Live at El mocambo is a masterpiece of pure guitar magic. It's worth watching.
5:43 was that freaking surifing with the alien?? lmao
Lmao what the helll xD
The differences in nascar tracks are pretty big in some cases, and pretty cool too. Different tracks have different banking angles around the corners, some are paved with different materials, some of them were made with a tractor and willpower, and some were measured out meticulously and laid out the same. Drivers will talk about certain bumps on certain parts of the tracks they need to avoid as well, but that's more of a real life difference between the tracks, rather than something that could be put in gameplay.
Just tryna say nascar is cool as hell, and it always upsets me a little when people just say it's turning left
Yeah, it is just an oval, but those drivers have to optimize every single detail of that oval, manage changing lines based on how the track changes and tires wear, and do it all consistently for hundreds of laps in wheel-to-wheel traffic on the limit. Insane how underappreciated oval racing in general is, though to be fair most of the detail that makes it cool isn't super evident if you're just watching a bunch of dudes drive in a circle with no context.
I think the perfect analogy to NASCAR games if you’re not a fan of the sport, is it’s kinda like Pokémon... if you want to just “drive left” - and have fun bumping and racing a few laps on different tracks, ya, you can do that...
Just like you can follow the story of a Pokémon game, catch the Pokémon you think are cool, and just level ‘em up...
But if you really want to nerd out, and get deep into it and figure out the absolute best ratio’s to find shiny Pokémon, or find the best way to max out EV’s and IV’s you want, etc etc...
Just like the point of the “driving left” simulator for some like me who actually like these games, The point is to do better and better, go faster and faster, etc.
But ya...the graphics and stuff on this are just straight awful compared to some of the nascar games starting around 03’ which is when I came across them and then started following the sport a bit because of them...those games actually felt very realistic compared to this.
They had a 20 year career mode where you started from the bottom with the crappiest crew and the crappiest engines and the crappiest engine and chassis builders and lowest paying sponsors (with lowest expectations atleast) on and on and on...
Man I had so much fun growing up playing Thunder 2004...
Me too, I stopped playing NASCAR games when Call of duty multiplayer came out. Just now rediscovering my love for NASCAR.
"its like an oval. So we're gonna drive straight and we're gonna be turning to the left" -Cartman-
Dick trickle was a legend. Weirdly my high school algebra teacher was a huge race guy and loved the trickle!
What I think every time I see NASCAR; "Do they know how to turn right?" "That one guy must really like Tide." "Why am I not watching Formula 1 instead?"
Ever heard of road course races? Lol
The blown tire around the last turn glitch had me in stitches !! 😅
First off love the series it’s incredible I’m 35 years old and I feel like a kid again thank you but good God Dale Earnhardt died the year this video game came out I was a huge NASCAR fan I was crying I watch the Daytona 500 and he hit the wall and died and you’re like this guy came up behind me and I was able to fight him off and I literally believe you don’t know who Dale Earnhardt is somehow I was upset and it made my day love your contact keep up the good work thank you so much appreciate it awesome videos
I remember watching this in the other channel. I really felt how difficult it is.
Friendly reminder that racecar spelled backwards is racecar.
a-ma-zing
Aww yeah, we gon' drive REAL FAST and TURN TO THE LEFT!!
Nascar has road track races too. They just don't show them on TV because of all the camera changes from each turn and straight away.
This was 1 if my fav games growing up
Dayum, bro, this was so cool. It's the first video i see of this series and was worth it. I like simulators/simcade, i just don't like nascar lol
Absolute all star’s of nascar in this game
I think thab is a great narrator. Alongside Morgan freeman
It’s great how excited you get. Thrilling.
6:04 now I remember why I don't listen to that song anymore.
This has a problem which shows up in many "true" racing games (vs kart games) where the line you are trying to hit is pretty important for achieving a good time. Very few games teach this well though, so unless you actually have learned it outside the game, it takes away a lot of the potential play from the game.
For turns, you are trying to use as much of the track (side to side) as possible. Right before you start your turn, you break. This allows you to accelerate through and out of the turn, reaching the top speed faster. The different courses all have slightly different turns/shapes, so the optimum break, turn, and acceleration is all a little different. Thab often tried to take a turn too early or too fast, putting him on the outside of the curve when he wants to be on the inside.
It doesn't get any better than this.
only watched 10 seconds and remembered as a kid... "WOAH, THERE GOES A TIRE!"
Dale Earnhart stood no chance against Jeff Gordon and his magic car.
So realistic
Especially The expression on Jeff Gordon’s face
You don't see traffic like this on the interstate!
Really? Isn't nascar torture enough? You have to add insult to injury with the lamest of dad jokes?
@@stylis666 it's one of the lines they say over and over again in the game
There was a Gran Turismo that had Nascar. I was very biased, but I ended up enjoying it 😅 i do love this series though
Love this series
I had this game on PC and would just drive against the flow of traffic for 10 minutes and just watch cars explode lol
Star Soldier... Great game made by Hudson.
This video is gonna be short, but fun.
I still have this game and love playing it haha. I play It all the time.
Man o Man!
Personally enjoy sim racing more than arcade racing. So gotta say, no, people dont want unrealistic racing :P
…And I was pretty sure that Superman 64 Would takes the cake. 😂 lol
It's weird that the N64 has so many racing games and, like, 3 JRPGs. The N64 was great, but genre diversity was not it's strong suit.
The legendary Dick Trickle. Rest in Peace mang.
That’s definitely Jeff Gordon. Look at him.
Are we sure Jeff Gordon isn't made of LEGOs?
Lol I used to love going backwards and causing mayhem
Man I remember when me and my friend played this and did 300 laps out of pure spite
I've only played one nascar game that I enjoyed. It was a PC game and the car damage and crashes were amazing. That's the only reason I liked it haha
I remember having a nascar pc game with a stearing wheel.
Back in the days as a kid, having a stearing wheel game controller was just amazing in its own right.
Dude, seriously? How did you not choose Dick Trickle? He was just sittin there for the taking.
I don’t think you realize how epic that finish at Sonoma was lol 😂
One must always raise hell and praise Dale. I’m sad you didn’t use Dale lol
And Kevin Harvik comes down the inside line, below Kevin Harvik, followed by kevin harvik in 3rd and 4th
It's actually 36 races in a season. And those 2 tracks are actual real tracks.
Man oh man this was a great review video!
Fantastic again :D
It doesn't get any better than this
Lol. "I gave this a 0 out of 10 for enjoyability." Man...even Superman 64 was better than that.
I loved this game growing up haha
Dick trickle called 911 a few years ago, told them there was a body at the cemetery, they asked if he could identify it and he said yeah, mine. He Hu g up and took his own life. Crazy end to a crazy named fella!
Dick Trickle committed suicide in 2013 after a prolonged struggle with chronic pain, and after his granddaughter died in a car accident. RIP
