      I tried quest 64 and booooy did i hate it. It needed to come up with a far better story of it wanted me to figure out it’s (at least for me at the time) punishing grindy game mechanics.

      Yes i did return it to toys r us, that same day. I’m still mad about it apparently since i wrote all this

      It’s not very good lol sorry to ruin the fun. Best description I’ve heard is “baby’s first RPG.” It’s fine, but it’s very simple/paint by numbers and the story/characters are very forgettable. Pretty good presentation for the time though.

        Yea when it came out it got a lot of attention because us in the N64 camp were starved for a good RPG. Unfortunately it was just a lot of nothing.

      I wish I could take credit for these, lol. There’s a Quest 64 novelty account that makes them, and I’m just a fan of the memes.

      I couldn’t actually figure out Quest 64 as a kid… It’s still sitting on a shelf upstairs with my old N64, unbeaten. Maybe I’ll join you in that adventure one day!

        Funny thing, I couldn’t figure out how to use the higher tier magic you got from the stones you collected. I played the whole game using the base spells you got from the environment. I wish Google were around back then to figure that one out.
