I can't imagine slogging through Aidyn Chronicles, but Blast Corps would be a lot of fun. So no matter how hard it is I don't think 100% in Blast Corps would be the worst N64 game to beat.

Aidyn Chronicles is really good thoooough!

Aidyn Chronicles makes FFVII look like Quest 64.

We both know you haven't played FFVII, silly man.

...but I guess haven't played Aidyn...

 

Stalemate.

I have played neither Aidyn Chronicles, nor FFVII, or even Quest 64.

Checkmate.

Apparently two of youse guys have beat Aidyn Chronicles which is how I know I’m on the website for true hardcore gamers. Can you imagine buying Aidyn Chronicles as your first console RPG as a kid after seeing FF2, FF3, Lunar, FF7, and Chrono Cross at your friends’ houses and probably around the time I was playing Neverwinter Nights? Because I can. Tbf my memories are 20 years old at this point. It’s a poignant Hollywood Video bargain bin regret!

"I beat aidyn chronicles on n64"

I'm the guy who beat and enjoyed the console versions of the Ultimas, Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master, Wizardry V, Obitus, (mostly) Might and Magic III, etc...

So, even though I've never played Aidyn, I'm right there with you guys.  Janky, unoptimized, WRPG console bastardizations FTW!

I played through Doom on 32x.

And LIKED it.

I played through Doom on SNES.  And it has no saves!

Impressive, of all the necessary cuts in the game, that was the crime of the century as far as that release went no way to save battery or password.  It's a very very long day trying to do that one start to end, or an increasingly painful one outside Japan jumping to higher episodes as Japan could do E3 on easy, but elsewhere had to be on a high difficulty to do so.

never realized SNES Doom required you to do the episodes front to back. That's killer, would be so much easier if you could do episodes individually.

I played through both for some reason. 1995 was a strange time.

[VmprHntrD | 1]

I had access to a x-band modem before, that is a work around somewhat for the Doom experience on SNES.  That one opens up some options with deathmatch and a level select too.

FYI, added to NSO.

I haven't played this thing in so long.

[Tantalus | 457]

Just played through it again via Switch Online. It's not as long as I remember as it took me just under 4 hours to get all gold medals, although I'm not touching the platinum medals any time soon. It is just as good as I remember. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. Apparently I gave it a 9/10 back in August and I stick by that score now.

I played it recently, enjoyed it but Oyster Bay(?) level was extremely tough for me to enjoy.
