    My neighbor comes over and we jam out on retro games. I learned that the generation after mine were super into Diddy Kong Racing on the N64. My friends and i were too old for that game, we were waverace and oo7 addicts.

        We’ve demolished Diddy Kong Racing in the past couple of months. I have to say it’s one of the best racers of its time.

        The amount of unlockable races, characters with actual different stats, boss races, time trials, an extra world, multiple vehicles, open world, four tiers of in race items, unlockable characters, and an entire second quest… It’s a damn fine game that ive personally grown to love more than the tech demo that was Wave Race 64.

      Mario Kart 64 was super popular at my dorm, but Diddy Kong Racing never caught on. It just isn’t as good a game.

        Yeah we all played Mario kart in college.
        DiddyKong is probably the better game, imo now. But the into and character screens are incredibly grating to hear
