    When this game came out there was a long drought of new or good N64 games. My friend and I would always go to the video store to see if anything new had come out to rent. One day Goldeneye was there, a movie tie in game... Ughhh... But we took a chance and rented it anyway. Took it home, played it for about three hours then took it back to the video store and returned it. We immediately went to Toys'R'us and I bought my own copy. Played this for like a year straight. Everyone else I knew wanted to buy it too but they could never find a copy it was always sold out. Amazing game, Thank you to everyone who was involved in making it.

    I finally took the time to beat this today (I played the mage). It's not as hard as first impressions might give one, but there were times I felt my character wasn't getting any stronger. I found myself always comparing the game to Dead Cells. Eventually, I made the decision to replay the game from the very beginning if I died, and honestly, just playing a couple of stages at a time was my favorite part of the game. The world map kind of threw me and I just had to forget about it as Dead Cells didn't have one.

Definitely should’ve been published. Along with Sonia, Take the bullet and flintstones. Gun Valkyrie looks 🔥 but that control scheme is MENTAL so yes throw it in the 🔥.

We have to pay BBC just to own a TV. I love it when you swear in your videos 😂 I can’t believe how many great games are on here but people didn’t even get to play it. Absolute banger of a video yet again 👏 Right, I’m off to play in grannies garden.

Thanks for highlighting some cool stuff for the BBC Micro. It's a total obscurity to me outside of hearing British UA-camrs (and the old VGJunk blog) talk about it.

Brilliant video this Pete, way better than my lousy effort I did some time back. Really enjoyed watching this and great to hear you talk up the underrated computer in detail. I salute you sir👌

    From what I remember for Capcom Fighting All Stars was it fucking bombed so hard in location tests in Japan and that was the primary motivating factor towards it's cancellation. The biggest complaints was the gameplay felt stiff and clunky, again, from what I can remember from translations on SRK and MMCafe forums. I remember seeing gameplay videos on Gamespot's site back in 2003 and was pretty hype for it and was surprised it was cancelled.
