I was almost considering making this thread too, haha.

Blast Corps was one of my favorite childhood games, I always get really excited to see raocow playing lesser-known games I'm familiar with like this one. Hoping for a Rocket: Robot on Wheels playthrough one day, ehe.

The Sideswipe and various robots were always my favorite vehicles. Also I love how silly the music is in the first stage, it makes for hilarious visuals when paired with what's happening in this game.

A random, offhand comment in the first video now has me convinced Demo is the one driving all those vehicles.

Blast Corps is somewhat of a white whale to me. I bought the game used at a flea market - it worked just fine, but it had been 100%'d. As raocow showed, the game auto-saves every building destroyed, every other thing collected, so there was nothing to do except play the tutorial missions.

The huge issue with this is that the game simply doesn't have a menu option to delete the current save. I didn't have the internet yet and didn't know how else to get help with that problem, so I just tooled around in a few empty levels and played the final bonus missions a little (they were fun!), and got really sad and frustrated whenever I remembered that I had the game.

Eventually, I looked it up, and it's something like hold R+L then push A B Start Z or whatever to delete your save. Impossible to figure out on your own.

I could just emulate the game now (my N64 with it is long gone), but I don't think I would have nearly the same amount of fun with it right now as I would have had when the N64 was a shiny new toy and I had infinite time to grind out races or find the last light on the ground somewhere. Oh well


What I'm saying is this is gonna be a blast (heh! HA! :mgmnds: ) to watch and finally experience the game through a joyful mind who did in fact have it as a kid BUT also will 100% it

i feel like she'd drive with her leg nubs and she just has like iris uncomfortably under that or at her side just slamming on the pedals in like some fucked up qwop situation and maybe like garish is there maneuvering the stick shift and yelling incoherent commands like the worst player of seaman on the dreamcast (serac is there too doing hard drugs in the back seat because people will not stop putting her everywhere, c'est la vie)

Not at the time you posted that, but now he has. I was surprised when I heard the song.

I should really give this game a try again sometime. I remember dropping it out of frustration with that stupid dump truck that nobody likes, but I haven't played it since I owned a cartridge on real N64 hardware.

(Also apparently I have an account on this forum! I somehow totally forgot that I did lol)

A particularly... pragmatic way to win a race, but hey, whatever works. Screw that farm. It's in the way!

Mica Park is a level I remember playing as a kid a few times because these time trial levels, of course, do reset the buildings. It was very confusing.

Unrelated: I could listen to the race song/DKLand boss theme forever

Between all the racing and superclearing levels, the actual gameplay loop of protecting the hotdog truck feels almost meaningless.

I think the game being so incoherent is part of its charm, because it's exactly the sort of nonsense a kid would imagine while playing with their toys. Like how raocow noted everything looks like Hot Wheels and Tonka trucks: everything else feels like an extension of that premise, where the "story" is just a kid letting their imagination run wild.

What is this, "complete"? Have you no respect for the sanctity of your own arbitrary naming scheme? You had a perfectly good gimmick going, and now you have utterly destroyed it with a single moment of carelessness!

...wait a minute.

I did not know about the TNT crate you needed the boat to get... after getting to the end several times on that stage and having *no* idea what to do, I eventually resorted to the "blow up anything by repeatedly trying to get out of your vehicle" glitch to destroy the last building.

Are you telling me that ghosts have actually been bulldozers this whole time?
