I never heard about this game until recently, but it has been such a fun experience so far! Looks great on Analogue 3D :)

This was my absolute favourite N64 game.

Basically GTA but cooler lol.

I've never got it to run correctly on emulators.

I know this was one of very few games that actually wouldn't run with an expansion pack, so consider investigating relevant settings on your emulator

It is certainly one of the more unique games out there. Fun fact it was made by DMA Design, the people who later made Grand Theft Auto and spawned the monster that is GTA5 today.

It's a fun game, but it's hard to say what the audience for it exactly is. For young children it's too complicated, most won't get it. For kids who get it, it's probably too boring and tedious. It's more for adults who get with the vibe and enjoy the excellent design. But not that surprising it wasn't a huge hit at the time.

Personally I think it's a charming game with cool mechanics. It can get tedious at some moments, but mostly it's fine. I'll never forget the first time I saw King Rat, such a fun time.

Never heard of this (probably because the only console I ever had was the Sega Mega Drive which was abandoned after we got a PC), surprised to hear it was made by DMA Design. DMA Design were revolutionary in the 90s; GTA2 is one of my favourite games (I like GTA3 a lot too).
