So thats why I never got to grips with this game, you actually are supposed to wallride on certain corners. After learning Drifting in F-Zero X, now I need to give this and the second part another try!
Man. Aged pretty well, for an early 3D racer, but still can’t believe I paid £60 - in nineties money - for it. I guess weapons off means less lag and no red Missiles slowing you down? I used to love using the rear flamerthrower after passing a booster and using a nitro. There was one time, on the second track, I was approaching the sharp turn after the loop, and impulsively jinked right. About eight Missiles flew past and erupted into a framerate-wrecking explosion. Pretty exhilarating!
Still can't believe I used to play hours on this shit as a kid and I never experienced headaches. I'm 10 seconds into the video rn and I'm already feelin dizzy to the point I almost threw up 💀
This is my Favourite racer for N64, above Mario Kart, f zero x and Diddy Kong. Graphically limited by technology at the time. Give this game XBOX X 4k remaster, pump up the graphics and it would look and play spectacularly. Keep the music, cos it was awesome! Someone, just get it done!
great run, for a great game. i think i could beat it tho. i couldnt stream it, but i could get 1st place on this leaderboard for meltdown. i love how theres hundreds of tiny optimizations that can be made. with your help i got 55 second lap on cave two. using one nitro. i never thought i could ever do that. but yes im confident the leaderboard for this game isnt completely optimized
The record has come a long way in the past few months! And I'll get to work on lowering the Meltdown record again in two weeks or so. www.speedrun.com/extreme-g/full_game If you enjoy the game of XG1, you should join our discord. We've had activity nearly every day for the past month or so. I'd welcome your challenge to take down some of my times though. :)
My first introduction to electronic music as a child, what a soundtrack
absolute fantastic OST, I mostly played it without weapons, such a good racing game
My first videogame in 2008
I love Extreme G. Underrated for sure.
I'm surprised to see a late 90s racer without crazy rubber banding
Loved this game growing up. Definitely among the top 10 N64 games
Lvl-3 soundtrack always made me feel like this was a life or death race when I was a kid lol.

Your comment brings me joy, I used to do the same thing with the flame and nitros lolol

Yeah, I tried to play it a few years ago and I couldn't stand the frame rate. How did I had so much as a kid?

man you forgot your third nitro on the third track but good drive
Yeah lol :(
...Xelna plays Extreme G??
totally underrated! always played with uglymode on for the fps boost :(
Phat always took last. I love the “nitro” cheat
Nice game
hardcore
up on x, down on -x
+ speed at 2 second turn
Needs more G! XD
Y'know why they haven't remade this for the switch or 3DS?
Cause they're STUPID(!)
I remade this for my
Game Boy POCKET.
