Friday, April 5All That Matters

As a 90s kid that gamed everyday, I thought it was impossible. No idea how I pulled it off as a 30-something-year-old man… But I did.

    This one was so hard, how many times I tried it an failed at around 2.07, and one time, I don’t even know why, 1.53, so quite large compared to the limit. I have to try again 😀

    God, I remember doing this on my OG N64 and hoo-boy was that difficult. (It took me 6-8 months on-and-off to beat it lmao)

    It is one of my greatest gaming achievements I’ve ever accomplished. It sits right next to beating doom eternal on nightmare mode in terms of difficulty.

    I remember renting this game from Hollywood Video and my dad ended up having to buy it because of the late fee.

    So many school nights grinding and then sleeping all day in class.

    I had all of them unlocked on the N64, I played the shit out of that game. Absolute worst was invincibility on the level you had to rescue Natalia and then talk to that guy in the room of instant death, so much rage.

    There were a few kids at my school who would unlock this cheat on your cartridge for a fee.

    I definitely considered using their services, but I was eventually able to do it myself after weeks of trying. It was a great challenge and felt like a big achievement! I’m not sure I could find the time to repeat it as a forty year old father of a toddler!

    This was how I learned that online guides existed. Those text files you could read on gamefaqs – one of them talked me through this. Shooting the right people to get them to open a door, having to meet Dr. Dork (I was 14, give me a break) at the right place or else it wasn’t gonna happen for you. I was like “whoa, other people figured this out and just SHARE THIS KNOWLEDGE?!?!?”. Totally changed gaming for me.

    I think everyone had that one friend growing up that was godly at stuff like this lol

    My buddy must have done those mission runs across 8 different cartridges for our group of friends. We’d just sit there in awe

  • Warrlock608

    I redid this a few years ago and it is amazing that I still have the complete sequence in my head. Took 4 tries because Dr. Dork was never where he was supposed to be.

  • GrooseandGoot

    Definitely not impossible, I used to charge the kids in middle school $10 each to beat all their GoldenEye cheat codes over a weekend. This was one of the hardest timepoints to meet though, you have to be real lucky Dr. Dork is in the right room.
