If you were playing on a lower difficulty level, would you possibly have had access to grenades to blow up those stalactites, to access the new weapon and other goodies, by that point?

He might've got some grenade launcher ammo drops by then, but he still needs the actual weapon first, and those locations don't change.

The map cursor works as a crosshair if you need to line up long-range rifle/pistol shots.

I never realized Longhunter hung out at the edge of the not-arena while you were fighting the Hummers. I thought he didn't actually spawn until you killed them.

Although, the original Turok and it's jump puzzles are the reason why I have NO problem going through any modern FPS/Adventure game jump section. So...

Also....is that the PC version? I'm wanting to say that looking through my nostalgia glasses, the faces weren't THAT poorly done on the N64 version....


The N64's blurryness probably helps the faces if anything.

Pretty sure Quack mode is mocking Quake's janky animation and less-fancy particle effects.

What was the obsession with big head modes around this time in gaming? Most FPS games in particular seem to have this as an option, i guess because 3D technology was new and most programmers had fun messing with values? Why was it usually called DK mode as well? Donkey Kong doesn't have a particularly huge head or anything.

In Goldeneye, DK Mode gave enemies giant heads AND giant arms. It makes sense in motion:

It doesn't make any sense to use it as shorthand for big head mode in other games, but there you go.

e: That video gets loud as gently caress, so heads up.

I admit I only watched half the video, so forgive me if it got mentioned: we know (plenty) how the Infinite Lives Cheat is unlocked in-game (by getting max number of lives). I assume that a good portion of cheats are Nintendo Power/the internet only, but what about the rest? Do you get infinite ammo cheat for having, at one point, all weapons' ammo maxed out?

At the very end of the credits, it gives you a list of cheats, which I think changes depending on the difficulty you beat it on. In the video it listed Spirit Mode, All Weapons, and Inf. Ammo.

The saying 'ahead of its time' applies here, but in a bad way. There was a PC port, but I haven't spent enough time with it to really tell you if that fixes those issues or not.

It at least doubles the draw distance and gets rid of the frame rate issues. Having, like, infinite times more ram to work with has its advantages.
