I said it before and I'll say it again. I will never un-see a blackout drunk Joel stumbling around the streets of Sweden when I hear that race car building theme.
It's weird that he mentioned the lack of save state on the thing he played on, cus I played Lego Racers on PS2 and the game just didn't have any way of saving so I had to do the same thing he did. I had a memory card, it just never saved. I might've missed some option somewhere, idk.
@@DanteTorn I remember I didn't own an N64 save pak until a friend of mine gave me one of his. I still have it too, and all that sweet, childhood N64 data.
The sad thing is LEGO isn't too big on that in terms of video games now. They practially only contract to Traveler's Tale and they don't break from the gaming format they've specialized in that much. I don't think they've ever done a racing game under LEGO beyond small activities in the newer open-world game hubs.
I really hope at some point they do. And think of the content they could add! More tracks, older and modern characters, probably little bios to collect that tell newcomers who these older lego characters are, more fluid controls, more part customization, and multiple player! Shame it probably won’t happen any time in the foreseeable future.
@@SoheiJayce That looks cool. I wonder if it has all the Lego pieces from Lego Racers though. And if it has remixed music from Lego Racers, that will be amazing.
joel is a chill dude and his streams are always a mix of entertaining relaxing funny and sometimes nostalgic for me when he streamed the 3d universe GTA games
I just used this stream for background noise while messing around with PS2/GameCube emulators. It was definitely a relaxing experience, like a friend/roommate nearby having his own fun while you're busy with your own work.
Yeah, I played it ALL the freaking TIME. I got it for Christmas, but it only lasted like a year because t̶h̶e̶ ̶C̶E̶O̶S̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶v̶e̶s̶t̶o̶r̶s̶ ̶w̶e̶r̶e̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶p̶p̶y̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶v̶e̶n̶u̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶g̶e̶n̶e̶r̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ they wanted to end the game before "the experience got too repetitive and boring" or some garbage like that. It was such a shame too, because it was a really good game.
1:15:40 Omg that happened to me too! Years ago when i was a kid i lent my Mario Party 2 cartridge to my best friend, and i forgot about it (i thought i sold it on a store because i used to sell many of my old N64 games to get new ones back then). And a few years later i visited him and he said "hey this is yours, you gave it to me years ago and we both forgot about it!" and he returned it to me, i felt like i just got a new, free game! 😁 We still play it sometimes =]
I love how once he found the language options, he just reverted back to his native Swedish. And then made fun of the Danish afterwards lol. Seems both languages have some things in common, vocab wise, I noticed.
@@Thor.Jorgensen What's bad about Lego Stunt Rally. It was the first game that influenced me to demand editors and map builders in most video games because of it?
@@zonetropper What's bad about it? The game basically plays itself. Just hold the speed up button and you'll win the game because there's no real manual steering. It's kind of like handing a kid an unplugged game controller and making the kid watch someone else play the game, while they think they are in control.
Oh. My. God. The nostalgia. I'm going back like 7-8 years instantly when I heard the menu music. I honestly believe I whent back in time when my brother and I was sitting in my room in the afternoon just building cars, characters, and racing for hours! I love how you played this, one nostalgic trip of a game! Love it!
It's weird to me ppl emulate Lego Racers when you can just play the PC version, but I understand some have a fondness for that version. I grew up with the PC version, so it's interesting seeing this port. Also fuck Project 64. I remember that "new" version screwing up my laptop years ago. Now I refuse to ever emulate N64 games and just run ROMs off an Everdrive. Better that way anyways.
This isn't really relevant to Lego Racers, but a lot of Nintendo 64 games emulate a lot better with their Wii Virtual Console versions through Dolphin than in their native N64 format. Wii VC even has some semi-obscure ones like Pokemon Puzzle League.
i really have no idea what the problem is with project 64... i have the newest version and there is nothing to complain about... no asking for money or anything like that
This game actually doesn't have any form of rubberbanding Every car follows a premade path, and the only form of ai is for returning to that path if they got shoved aside, as well as firing weapons
Joel's stroke of good fortune with that warp against Baron in the second to last match was immediately undone by him driving into a wall waving a lightning wand at it.
The Time Trials either are not as difficult as people are making them out to be, or I had such a hard time I formed a mental block in my memory and just can’t recall how difficult they are.
In the mid 2000s they re-released Lego Island, Lego Island 2, and Lego Racers in a multipack for pc. My grandma got it for me once but it didnt have any modifications to make the games run at their correct speed on modern pcs, so they ran ultra fast and almost made me throw up. Well except for lego island 2 which was made for more modern pcs.
Oh man, I just smiled all the damn video. My dad used to rent this game for me all the time, and like Joel I just spent hours building cars. My dad loved watching me playing that game, I mean I also grow up with Turok so I think it was relaxing for him that I didn't just loved FPS games.
This game was my childhood on my old N64. Use to play this SO much. One of my classmates also had it on his playstation and his version had fancy cutscenes that the N64 did not :(
One tip with the powerups is that the varieties always spawn in their exact locations consistently, but they can be swapped with ones you're already carrying, and won't respawn the original unless a racer takes whichever powerup is on the spawnpoint. SO at times when there wasn't green power-ups, no other racer had collected the old one and thus it was replaced. This and that some tracks have less green bricks than others (the beach in particular has that issue) means that the strategy is lacking in some places. And in terms of shortcuts and course tricks, the blue shield powerups are pretty useful for avoiding some of the map hazards (like the UFO tractor beam of the lightning "turrets"). Shortcuts that need blasting open can use hte grappling hook, but as the hook tries to home in on other racers, it's only useful if you're like right in front of the shortcut door (also while the dossier on shortcuts is complicated, Joel misremembered a fair few. I don't think there even are shortcuts at all on the witch and pirate-themed courses in the 3rd/6th circuits)
Never played Racers but my two big nostalgia LEGO games were Star Wars 2 and Bionicle Heroes. If both were released on the Switch id probably buy them instantly
"LEGO Racers 2 sucked" YOU TAKE THAT BACK JOEL. It's different from the first but it's still a good game! And as a kid, I was the one with all the LEGOs and wanted to play with them. But everyone else wanted to play videogames instead. I'd spend all night putting together entire racing grids of cars, building tracks and pits, and creating elaborate mechanisms like clothesline pin powered ramps. And then they'd just want to play Need For Speed Underground 2 instead.
27:40 There actually is a Battery Powered motor for lego boats, I used to use one for my Old fireboat set back in 07-2010, sadly the plastic seal became brittle and the connections became corroded.. Still have the Boat though!

"I'll be waiting for you... at the finish line!"
I love the bit of Joel speaking Swedish after setting the language to Swedish
Imagine joining this stream for the first time and thinking "ah this is some sweedish streamer... Nvm" You'd miss out on soooo much laugh
That title screen music gave me so much nostalgia i actually got dizzy.
I'm getting reoccurring nightmares from the gameplay
did it also kick you in the balls?
@@Boomrainbownuke9608 nice caddy reference

Not to mention trying to replicate all of the NPC racers. Only to end up making bootleg versions with drastically shortened names lol
Joel activates Swede mode at the end of the stream and I don't know how to feel.
This game needs the CTR Nitro Fueled treatment. A faithful remake, but with tons of new content that celebrates the brand's history.

Swedish lessons with Uncle Joel has never been this fun
5:16 "sorry about the technical shit, I will probably edit it out of RUclips later"
you never do and that's why we love you
Except the times he does is when I get quite upset :(
When jobel is talking meatball language, the auto generated subtitles are beautiful
Joel: "I just need to teleport"

Joel: Immediately uses level one green.

Teleport?
It's weirdly REALLY satisfying to hear Joel speaking Swedish on stream. Like it clicks.
That’s so weird, Lego racers in the pc has a totally different intro than the 64
Because n64 doesn't support fmv, they had to make a new intro in-engine
I love that era of games, where the system actually matters
The intro was also used in the PC Demo
Ps1 uses the PC intro
@@EmeraldCoastttyes it does
Oh fuck didn't know I had missed a Lego racer stream. One of my favourite childhood games.
Finally the ancient ones foretold of this day and at last the holy one has come to grace this channel.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS !
Not sure why, but I really found this stream calming.
It sends me to sleep

Back when Racers 1 was made was when LEGO made all the awesome games like Lego Rock Raiders.

@@Thor.Jorgensen i used to really love lego loco the one where it was a top down train track editor or whatever
I can imagine all the bionicle fans being like NO JOEL YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG STOPP
All that comes to mind when I think of Lego Racers is Caddicarus's episode on the game going, "I like... to play... with LEGO..."
Sometimes I swear, I think Joel and Strong Bad are the same person.
"Hey, Joel; how can you play video games with boxing gloves on?"
Oh my gosh this game. YESSSS
MY CHILDHOOD
Man watching him miss some of those shortcuts when they were right in front of him were just infuriating
I love watching Joel play racers and especially fighting games.
I fell asleep midthru and Joel speaking swedish woke me up, I was wondering why Joel was speaking gibberish at first but it went for too long lol
Hearing someone describe himself as both "curmudgeonly old man" and be young enough to have liked Bionicles as a child makes _me_ feel old.
Joel: The yellow ones are the worst
Also Joel: _resets an entire grand prix because of one yellow trap_
“I wanted miniguns, I was really ridiculous”
Oh yeah, guns on a car is much less tame than a parrot on the exterior, clinging for dear life XD

When I was introduced to N64 through project 64 in ‘08 this was one of the first games I had on it, good times.
I've always used Retroarch's defaults and it's worked mostly flawlessly. An alternate if you're tired of Project64's 30 second wait.

One of my favourite games ever.
MY CHILDHOOD JOEL, MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD, ITS COMING BACK AAAAHHHHHHHHHH
That Build Menu music... holy shit. Nostalgia just smacked me right in the face, I can’t even! So many countless hours creating racers and vehicles.
one of the best racers
I'd rather have the troubleshooting stuff in vid than to jumpcut through what could be interesting commentary and some funny heehee haahaas.
I wish i could upvote this a million times.
For reasons I absolutely cannot pin down, the car building music makes me think of MySims Agents.
Wait a minute, that's not the right intro!
This game taught me to wield my rage and anger
Ahhh, yet some more quality Joel content to fall asleep to tonight.
This game actually doesn't have any form of rubberbanding
Every car follows a premade path, and the only form of ai is for returning to that path if they got shoved aside, as well as firing weapons
The AI drivers are actually recordings of the developers driving round their own tracks, with some normalisation thrown in
The car builder music gives off "no thoughts, head empty" vibes. And I think that was done on purpose. XD
This is the most anticipated joel stream of all time
I remember playing the demo of this game at one point
That mysterious city at sundown/sunup in the intro is based and now a place in my mind forever. And the electrician is a true man.
How dare you deprive us of our moopin techno beats Joel!
Joel's stroke of good fortune with that warp against Baron in the second to last match was immediately undone by him driving into a wall waving a lightning wand at it.
A lego racers remastered game with new tracks and characters added and multiplayer would probably sell really well
I remember the pc version having a “hahaha!” Voice clip at the end of the rocket racer cutscene
Same here! I tried looking up PC gameplay footage of that cutscene but it wasnt there
I had the PC version back in the 2000s thanks to my school book fair. I need to find a copy and play it again
I just saw this pop up in my feed and my nostalgia kicked in
The Time Trials either are not as difficult as people are making them out to be, or I had such a hard time I formed a mental block in my memory and just can’t recall how difficult they are.

i'm so sleepy that when joel started speaking a different language I thought I was dreaming
Best Lego game & top tier racing game for the N64!!!

The fact that Joel and I grew up playing the same version of Lego Racers makes me eternally happy

I see no sarcasm in there, everything in the OP is an millennium old established, documented facts.
@Чики Брики I agree
Lego racers induces so many feelings of nostalgia
One tip with the powerups is that the varieties always spawn in their exact locations consistently, but they can be swapped with ones you're already carrying, and won't respawn the original unless a racer takes whichever powerup is on the spawnpoint. SO at times when there wasn't green power-ups, no other racer had collected the old one and thus it was replaced. This and that some tracks have less green bricks than others (the beach in particular has that issue) means that the strategy is lacking in some places.
And in terms of shortcuts and course tricks, the blue shield powerups are pretty useful for avoiding some of the map hazards (like the UFO tractor beam of the lightning "turrets"). Shortcuts that need blasting open can use hte grappling hook, but as the hook tries to home in on other racers, it's only useful if you're like right in front of the shortcut door (also while the dossier on shortcuts is complicated, Joel misremembered a fair few. I don't think there even are shortcuts at all on the witch and pirate-themed courses in the 3rd/6th circuits)
Ah yes,probably the only game from my childhood that wasn't shovelware.
Ummm what kind of psycho pays for winrar?
Never played Racers but my two big nostalgia LEGO games were Star Wars 2 and Bionicle Heroes.
