Wow, someone else played this. I had a go at this when it was newly released, but I never did buy a copy. Good game, though. If I wasn't a poor boy with no income back then I probably would've got a copy. Glad to see someone else played it.

Yeah, in retrospect, the N64 is really the one console where I pretty much hit everything I wanted to play the first time around, without having to track down any rare copies of treasured games in the years following. I've been rooting through my N64 collection recently and reviewing some of the games that I always meant to write about, in case you haven't noticed. I'm more or less doing it for easy Alpha Marathon entries. In fact, I'll be nailing another (very pesky) letter tonight.

I like Donkey Kong 64 quite a bit. It was a fun game. I even bothered to collect all of the bananas and at one point wrote a guide about how others could do the same.

I liked Donkey Kong 64, but it didn't like me. Every copy I tracked down had major save glitches.

That's definitely a weird issue and I can't say I ever had that, but DK64 was still one of the glitchiest games I can recall playing. Like, I remember there was a way to clip into the center of the island and wind up in the middle of K. Rool's ship... WTF...

I remember Donkey Kong 64 being horrible because of all the glitches, and being incredibly frustrating at times. When you'd fail at a minigame or some other task, the game would rub it in your face, and often it didn't seem fair. If you got stuck at something, you just had to keep trying until you managed to somehow beat the system. In a game like Zelda, if you got stuck at something, you usually had to approach the problem from a different angle, or come back with a new item or something. In DK64, there wasn't any of that. If you couldn't do it, you couldn't do it, and that was one gold banana you'd have to come back for later.

The argument that DK64 is too frustrating and unfair will always seem weird to me, because I was able to 100% the game when I was, what, nine years old or something?
