Re: Making Diddy Kong Racing Changed My Life

First thing I remember about playing Diddy Kong Racing was realizing how much better it looked compared to Mario Kart 64, with 3D characters and all. The airplane was my very nice to ride, I spent ountless hours just flying around the main area, relaxing. It worked for me just like the Dolphin Park in Wave Race 64.

Wow, what an article. Rare was the company I dreamt to be working for when I was a kid, and the farm looks very close to what I had imagined.

Good times the 90s, I loved playing all their SNES and N64 games with my friends, not caring about FPS dips, or resolution, or whatever. We were just having fun.
