+N64 Glenn Plant i always liked this one. rented it as a kid and beat it that weekend. bought it a year or so ago for a couple dollars. cheap nostalgia rush :)
This review just earned you another subscriber. Very well done review, my friend! I've had this game on PC and i remember pure amazing memories. Me and my brother used to play it and I remember us being stuck for a while in the treehouse level and the last level before you're fighting Clayton, when saving the apes :S
ha yeah clayton was surprisingly hard i thought! glad you liked this video, i only cover n64 stuff on this channel which is not for everyones taste but for those of us with fond memories of the console its a cool place to be i hope :)
That's what I like about your channel so much. That you only cover n64 stuff :D Nintendo 64 is my favourite console of all time. I myself have a Nintendo 64, but I bought that console about 2 years ago. Because me and my brother (mostly me) made a BIG mistake and sold our first Nintendo 64 that we had :S So I bought another one to relive the good old classic games. Some of my top favourite games on the system are Donkey Kong 64, Mario 64, Turok: Rage Wars, Banjo Kazooie and most of all Conker's Bad Fur Day :D
Loved this game. I had this for PC back in the day and me and my brother used fight over who's turn it was to play. Even though the soundtrack from the movie is virtually absent the music was good and really set the mood. The mix of 2d and 3d elements also really made things cool and is one of the best "2.5d" games I've ever played. This one and Toy Story 2 for n64 are the best Disney licensed games on the console by a pretty significant margin. First class game!
Does anyone know the differences between this version and the PC version? As in which is better? I remember playing this on PC, must still have it laying around somewhere.
ArtilleryCrusader Both the PC and N64 version were ports of the Ps1 version. So all three are practically identical but I don't think the PS1 and PC has a difficulty setting. And the N64 doesn't have cutscenes from the movue
I believe I played the pc version of this game when it came out which is weird that I didn't get it for N64 but I remember really enjoying it. I surprisingly recalled a lot of the levels shown in the video so thanks for the memories Glenn
I remember watching my friend play this game through on the PC. I remember thinking that it looked really cool, I think this game was pretty underrated back then. I don't think my friend got very far past the young Tarzan levels.
It kinda reminds me of Pandemonium. It's a shame about Eurocom biting the dust recently though, they made pratically every James Bond game on consoles since James Bond Jr on the NES (which is a great game). But I think they always played catch up with them after Goldeneye, as they were all "like goldeneye, but...", they even developed the goldeneye "remake".
i really liked pandemonium, well the first one anyway i got it with my ps1 but i remember not liking the sequels all that much. plus the jester guy did get kind of annoying
Christ almighty, you really are everywhere. Anyway, Pandemonium is a blast. I've only found out about it recently. There was a serious lack of 2.5D games in that generation. Odd, being that in the previous generation, sidescrolling platformers were the norm.
Haha thank you, many people over the years have been in touch with similar. Last night someone said they watched my videos when they were a kid and they’re now all grown up. Makes me feel old 😂
I played this game on the Playstation and I had fun with it as a kid. From what you are saying it looks like I need to play the N64 version of this game.
When I was 4 I had this game on my old PC along with Hopmon,Hercules,GTA Vice City,Santa Claus In Trouble,Feeding Frenzy,Spiderman(the one from the PS1)and a restaurant game that I don't know the name of and I loved them all.
Same Glenn, I got like 10 hours in, realised Id not even really started and stopped. It's just too big of a game for someone who is married with kids ! This however, would be a treat !
Great review. Thanks. I knew about this games at it's release and thought it'd be too bland and not worth it's price so I avoided it. I'll give it a shot now I'm more open minded.
I never knew this game existed when I was younger. I only ever knew about the gamecube Tarzan game...but i'm definitely interested in trying to pick up a copy for my collection.
The game looks amazing full of variety ! I don't mind short games as long as they are good ! sometimes in this busy life a short game is just what you need ! :-)
Aah Skyrim, wherefore art thou so damn big :p Tarzan however was a very decent game on the playstation, I completed it with a friend just a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, here on the continent (kids) games are often localized, so I had to play it in Dutch. Why do game developers do this, can't they just leave the game in English and add optional subtitles. Who wants to play with dubbed voice acting :s Ooh well, I'll definitely look out for the English N64 version of Tarzan. Great review, thanks!
It's funny bc I've always been a Nintendo guy my whole life. From the snes to the switch. And I just found out this game is on the n64. I had it on the ps1 as a kid and used to loooove it. One of like 3 games I ever played on my old ps1 lol
Excellent review like always. Anyway that game was far too easy as a platform game. But the reason why they did was the fact this game was more for young children. The early beta was far more hard than the recent version. Was actually loose all interest in particular in Europe.
I have noticed in Sweden where i live, it's really hard to find Tarzan in english for a good price. If you want different languaged n64 games, check out swedish retrogaming websites. Is it easy to find english in the u.k? Thanks for this video
Never played it. Mainly because I felt it was beneath me because of the license at the time. Looking at it now I can see it may be fun regardless. Oh well.
I played this all the time as a kid. I had recently picked up a Playstation version of the game and was disappointed. It wasn't as good as I remembered it.
Oh yeah, it was incredibly short, even if there were many stages to unlock. Still, Black and White Yoshi's kinda extended it's life(And the pursuit of the fake Purple one xD). Anyways, I'll be waiting for it!
Its a good game, it has a decent level design with vibrant colours and lush enviroments, the sound deparment yeah it could be a little better IMO since is pretty tame and soft for a game like this it needs more of that "unfff" that platformers of the 16-bit era usually had with the soundtrack, but there some stuff that i think are a bit clunky to say the least, and those are the controls, yeah you can adapt to them really quickly but they are kinda stiff and sometimes way too tight, something i usually dislike of this game is the fact that when you want to jump from a stand still it has some strange delay to it and most of the time that means that if you dont jump while moving you will miss most of the platforms, other thing i think is pretty bad is the damage you took from the enemies, most of the time the enemies will destroy you with almost 4 hits even if you have the full life bar you will suffer with this the entire game, and most of the time you can't tell what's an enemy and what's not meaning that you will get hurt A LOT, also the Jane segment most of the time you will hit almost EVERYTHING in your path, i dont know if it is beacuse she has a pretty big hit box or how she controls but by far is one of the worst bonus-like stages on the game. Sorry for the long comment dude XD, in short Tarzan is a good game it has some pretty big flaws in some parts but after all is a good platformer for the N64.
Am I the only one that finds this difficult as fuck?!?! I just went back to it after never beating it as a kid and I can't beat it now either! And I'm only on normal! I can do most things with little challenge, but the stampede level and the baboon chase usually run me out of lives, and between unavoidable birds, rhinos that have exactly one place you can safely jump on, and vines that don't always follow physics I've never made it through. I also can't save it so I have to start from square one each time which just gets me more frustrated
Killing things with fruit always made me lose my shit. I'm surprised I beat this game because the noises when certain animals and humans made when you pelted them with fruit was too funny! This was a really fun game. My parents got so pissed off at me playing it that they took it away from me for awhile. Jane and the baboons was a annoying part and Clayton though hot asf, was an asshole. This gamr was definitely a hidden gem. I hate that I lost it.
Loved this game as well! I loved the gameplay and music! Shame I only BORROWED it :( At least I beat it during that time though :D Looking for my own copy though since I also collect games. Don't mind if it's loose though I got $50 in Amazon cash. But Amazon's prices are a bit steep for games
My first game. EVER. I played it when I was wearing diaper. And somehow I played better than my sister who is older. And I kicked-ass on the game. Maybe that is why I`m good at games.
I have to disagree with most people here, with the nostalgia goggles off, this is a poor game. The controls aren't that tight, considering how unfair the enemies are. They're constantly swooping down, or throwing things from off screen, and there's often too much of a delay between attacking or turning. It's not super clear when enemies are dangerous or not, and the invincibility frames aren't long enough so by the time you react you often get hit twice. Some levels don't let you backtrack, a cheap jab to force you to play the level again for 100% completion. I stopped playing at the stampede level, as that was a lazy cliche taken from Crash Bandicoot. It had potential to be acceptable, but as it is, it's entirely skippable, I'd give it around 45%.
I never watched the Disney Tarzan movie and the first time ive seen this game i just thought meh another mediocre platformer. But it is fun for one playthrough. Though as far as N64 2d platformers go nothing can beat Mischief Makers. Anyways i didnt know it got a big box release. I kind of want that... but if its really that rare and expensive my girlfriend would probably kill me... >_
I love this game. It's so nostalgic for me and it really is a hidden gem
Glad it has some fans aside from me :-)
***** It was really a great and super fresh game, I loved it.
+N64 Glenn Plant i always liked this one. rented it as a kid and beat it that weekend. bought it a year or so ago for a couple dollars. cheap nostalgia rush :)
same
i have a confession to make. my dad rented this game for me at a local blockbuster and i kept the game booklet that came with it. that is all.
We all did 😂😂❤

Well I'm aiming to eventually cover all n64 games and so there's plenty more to come :-)
so many memories! this is my childhood!!!
i think a lot of people feel the same! shame the new movie looks meh!
Loved this game. I had this for PC back in the day and me and my brother used fight over who's turn it was to play.

loved this game as kid and still do. it's one of my favortie n64 games also i did't know the box came with a toy.
Ok Glenn, I'm convinced. Tracked down a copy on eBay. Thanks for another well done review for a game that I wasn't even aware of.
SLoMo4 maybe hold off until I've finished the rest of the series this week as theres more to come ;)
eu adoro como você analisa retro games relativizando a época a que foram feitos, e não comparando com o que temos hoje.
Pretty good old game
Yeah has its charms for sure
Does anyone know the differences between this version and the PC version? As in which is better? I remember playing this on PC, must still have it laying around somewhere.
ArtilleryCrusader Both the PC and N64 version were ports of the Ps1 version. So all three are practically identical but I don't think the PS1 and PC has a difficulty setting. And the N64 doesn't have cutscenes from the movue
Great graphic but's that is all. Great games for kids and people who are new in games.
Wow those graphics are some of the best I have seen on the n64, never even heard of this one!
i remember renting this from a video store in maine when i was like 5
Great review, never would of thought that this was such a gem, definitely picking it up!
I remember renting this game at my local blockbuster as a kid, but later got my own copy years later.
It's great to see ya on RetrowareTV now!
I didn't know there was a 64 version!
2:46 nice movie quote :)
I’ve....seen things 😬
Where can I find it??
eBay
I believe I played the pc version of this game when it came out which is weird that I didn't get it for N64 but I remember really enjoying it. I surprisingly recalled a lot of the levels shown in the video so thanks for the memories Glenn
Nice review Glenn! Looks quite fun.
I bought three copies of this before I got a decent one. Now I want the big box :). Great review as always GP!
This game didn't have the movie clips like the version of playstation, right???
nah just text
I remember watching my friend play this game through on the PC. I remember thinking that it looked really cool, I think this game was pretty underrated back then. I don't think my friend got very far past the young Tarzan levels.
Beautiful game, just beautiful.
This was my first real video game. And it really takes me back.
Still quite a fun game to play even now I think
Cool, I didn't even know about the Pal special edition.
Great review shame this didn't get a Dreamcast release.
It kinda reminds me of Pandemonium.
It's a shame about Eurocom biting the dust recently though, they made pratically every James Bond game on consoles since James Bond Jr on the NES (which is a great game). But I think they always played catch up with them after Goldeneye, as they were all "like goldeneye, but...", they even developed the goldeneye "remake".
i really liked pandemonium, well the first one anyway i got it with my ps1 but i remember not liking the sequels all that much. plus the jester guy did get kind of annoying
Christ almighty, you really are everywhere. Anyway, Pandemonium is a blast. I've only found out about it recently. There was a serious lack of 2.5D games in that generation. Odd, being that in the previous generation, sidescrolling platformers were the norm.
I had the Playstation Version, overall a neat game, the FMV's were almost the entire movie, something that i haven't seen much on licensed games.
yeah i noticed that it seems to have loads of them too! thats pretty rad an unique you are right!
OH MY GOD IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SHIT FOREVER, THE MEMORIES OMG
Bathe in that nostalgia juice all night long
do you rly need to collect all those coins? i mean, for 100 %...
it look too much for my taste
Loved this game! Never owned it but I rented it from blockbuster plenty of times! Totally buy it if I ever saw it.
I have both ps1 and n64 controls are very clunky but after a few minutes you quickly adapt. Sick game though.
yeah its very under rated on both consoles i think but more so on n64 due to the epic platformers the console has
great game from my childhood, but like many childhood games on the ps1 side.. many games got scratched too much to play
DeViiaTe yeah thats one of the reasons cartridges are way better to own! one of the few reasons infact lol
I don’t really indulge parasocial stuff but I feel like we are brothers even 5k+ miles away you and your videos feel like home.
Haha thank you, many people over the years have been in touch with similar. Last night someone said they watched my videos when they were a kid and they’re now all grown up. Makes me feel old 😂
I've only played this game once a long time ago, but now I think I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for a copy of this, looks like alot of fun!
this doesn't work with my emulator
I played this game on the Playstation and I had fun with it as a kid. From what you are saying it looks like I need to play the N64 version of this game.
I played both the n64 and ps1 versions, although I only finished the latter. Very enjoyable.
Did the N64 have the movie clips like the version of Playstation??
That holds up pretty well graphically. Actually pretty surprising.
When I was 4 I had this game on my old PC along with Hopmon,Hercules,GTA Vice City,Santa Claus In Trouble,Feeding Frenzy,Spiderman(the one from the PS1)and a restaurant game that I don't know the name of and I loved them all.
Vladimir Dan - I love how you have fond memories of all these innocent children's games and then throw GTA in the mix.
Slater Brazeal When you're a kid you play everything you can get your hands on.
I know what you mean.
another cracking review Glenn, im sure I have this loose cart??
Played and completed this on PC as a kid, was forgotten it till i saw this video. Thought it was awesome at the time
yeah you know i still really rate this, such a great game
Great review!
0:52 cut off right before the fall to his death...
Same Glenn, I got like 10 hours in, realised Id not even really started and stopped. It's just too big of a game for someone who is married with kids ! This however, would be a treat !
are you attending this years play expo Glenn?
This one if going on my list as I absolutely love 2.5D platformers.
Great review. Thanks. I knew about this games at it's release and thought it'd be too bland and not worth it's price so I avoided it. I'll give it a shot now I'm more open minded.
I never knew this game existed when I was younger. I only ever knew about the gamecube Tarzan game...but i'm definitely interested in trying to pick up a copy for my collection.
Cool let me know how you like it when you do!
I need some money first :P
I remember playing it as a 7 year old and i loved it.
The game looks amazing full of variety ! I don't mind short games as long as they are good ! sometimes in this busy life a short game is just what you need ! :-)
Wasn't this on PC also? Or maybe I'm thinking of some other Tarzan game
it was on the pc two, I also still have dvd ... so i can play it if i want ... the point is yes this game was for the pc too
+Bio Knight I had it on the pc too as a kid.One of the first game's that i played
I've played the game and sure brings nostalgia, but just realized it is some what similar to the Crash games.
Great review and thank you. I love quality Disney games and I missed this one. I will have to fix that :)
malcolmar let me know how you find it!
***** This game was good but I started all the game at the beggining over and over because I did not have the rumble pack.
Aah Skyrim, wherefore art thou so damn big :p Tarzan however was a very decent game on the playstation, I completed it with a friend just a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, here on the continent (kids) games are often localized, so I had to play it in Dutch. Why do game developers do this, can't they just leave the game in English and add optional subtitles.

check this version out and let me know how you like it!
This was a good game to me have memories of playing with my brother.
I liked it, but I played the PC version. Still, I'm surprised that you didn't like Yoshi's Story, will you be reviewing it any time soon?
This game fills the Donkey Kong Country void on the N64 better than DK64 ever did. 😮💨
I do love the 2d DK games
Awesome game from my childhood, thanks for the review.
Oh yeah, I actually rented this from Blockbuster back when it was still around. Never beat it though...
Excellent review like always.
Anyway that game was far too easy as a platform game. But the reason why they did was the fact this game was more for young children. The early beta was far more hard than the recent version. Was actually loose all interest in particular in Europe.
I have noticed in Sweden where i live, it's really hard to find Tarzan in english for a good price. If you want different languaged n64 games, check out swedish retrogaming websites. Is it easy to find english in the u.k? Thanks for this video
I forgot too add games, english games
This game looks cool
I've heard of it but didn't know it was a platformer..will give it a ago!
Tengo 19 pero aunque no lo crean este juego fue una muy buena infancia, cuando me iba a la casa de mis abuelos..
I remember playing this on my dad's old p3 when I was a kid *_*
Never played it. Mainly because I felt it was beneath me because of the license at the time. Looking at it now I can see it may be fun regardless.
Oh well.
I played this all the time as a kid. I had recently picked up a Playstation version of the game and was disappointed. It wasn't as good as I remembered it.
Hard to find uk cart lot of france 1s on ebay uk only English not many made love the movie
Yeah those pesky French gamers! Haha
😂😂@@n64glennplant
***** Hey i reamember i was playing this when i was 3-5 years old i played this game over and over again
N64 Magazine gave this 35%!! That’s really harsh. I agree with the Official UK Nintendo Magazines score of 90% as this is a really fun 2D platformer.
I know right, as much as I love n64 magazine that score it’s criminal
I had the ps1 version of this game
Oh yeah, it was incredibly short, even if there were many stages to unlock. Still, Black and White Yoshi's kinda extended it's life(And the pursuit of the fake Purple one xD). Anyways, I'll be waiting for it!
Its a good game, it has a decent level design with vibrant colours and lush enviroments, the sound deparment yeah it could be a little better IMO since is pretty tame and soft for a game like this it needs more of that "unfff" that platformers of the 16-bit era usually had with the soundtrack, but there some stuff that i think are a bit clunky to say the least, and those are the controls, yeah you can adapt to them really quickly but they are kinda stiff and sometimes way too tight, something i usually dislike of this game is the fact that when you want to jump from a stand still it has some strange delay to it and most of the time that means that if you dont jump while moving you will miss most of the platforms, other thing i think is pretty bad is the damage you took from the enemies, most of the time the enemies will destroy you with almost 4 hits even if you have the full life bar you will suffer with this the entire game, and most of the time you can't tell what's an enemy and what's not meaning that you will get hurt A LOT, also the Jane segment most of the time you will hit almost EVERYTHING in your path, i dont know if it is beacuse she has a pretty big hit box or how she controls but by far is one of the worst bonus-like stages on the game.
Sorry for the long comment dude XD, in short Tarzan is a good game it has some pretty big flaws in some parts but after all is a good platformer for the N64.
Well technically this game is also 3D but with (mostly) side-scrolling perspective.
i'll be down on Saturday, i'll keep my eyes open might even bump into you!
oh man I had this game, love it!
tarzan to the rescue is hard
Saba Simba theme
I loved this game
Am I the only one that finds this difficult as fuck?!?! I just went back to it after never beating it as a kid and I can't beat it now either! And I'm only on normal! I can do most things with little challenge, but the stampede level and the baboon chase usually run me out of lives, and between unavoidable birds, rhinos that have exactly one place you can safely jump on, and vines that don't always follow physics I've never made it through. I also can't save it so I have to start from square one each time which just gets me more frustrated
In all your videos you ask why did or didnt we pick up these games. My answer is simple: my parents rarely bought us a game. Now I spoil myself haha
the best way to be!
Killing things with fruit always made me lose my shit. I'm surprised I beat this game because the noises when certain animals and humans made when you pelted them with fruit was too funny!
This was a really fun game. My parents got so pissed off at me playing it that they took it away from me for awhile. Jane and the baboons was a annoying part and Clayton though hot asf, was an asshole. This gamr was definitely a hidden gem. I hate that I lost it.
that game slooks really good, remind me of pitfall
Loved this game as well! I loved the gameplay and music! Shame I only BORROWED it :( At least I beat it during that time though :D Looking for my own copy though since I also collect games. Don't mind if it's loose though I got $50 in Amazon cash. But Amazon's prices are a bit steep for games
2D?
My first game. EVER. I played it when I was wearing diaper. And somehow I played better than my sister who is older. And I kicked-ass on the game. Maybe that is why I`m good at games.
Donkey Kong 64 should have been made like this.
I have to disagree with most people here, with the nostalgia goggles off, this is a poor game. The controls aren't that tight, considering how unfair the enemies are. They're constantly swooping down, or throwing things from off screen, and there's often too much of a delay between attacking or turning.

I stopped playing at the stampede level, as that was a lazy cliche taken from Crash Bandicoot. It had potential to be acceptable, but as it is, it's entirely skippable, I'd give it around 45%.
I played it once at a children's hospital I was treated at when I was younger. To me, it's meh.
Looks a lot like Donkey Kong Country
I never watched the Disney Tarzan movie and the first time ive seen this game i just thought meh another mediocre platformer. But it is fun for one playthrough.
Though as far as N64 2d platformers go nothing can beat Mischief Makers.
Anyways i didnt know it got a big box release. I kind of want that... but if its really that rare and expensive my girlfriend would probably kill me... >_
Nevermind.... A lot easier using the d pad
I rather enjoyed Yoshi's Story
