Wild card: Uniracers - Wikipedia

This made me laugh out loud, like all the kids say.

Glad I could help.

who in their right mind would say: "A game about unicycles! We should make that! It's what all the kids are into!" Laughing

I rented Uniracers once.  If you put in Sonic as your name at the beginning, the game says, "Not cool enough."  Uniracers was made by DMA Design, who would later go on to make the Grand Theft Auto series.  There's a rumor that the reason why Uniracers is so rare is that PIXAR sued them because they looked too close to a unicycle character in one of their shorts.  If that's true, I think that's pretty ridiculous on PIXAR's end.

Sadly, I think the story's legit, or at least there are quotes from DMA Design people regarding the lawsuit in this Nintendo Life article. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/03/feature_the_making_of_unirally

I agree with Dailly: "We modelled the unicycle exactly, based on a real life unicycle. The problem with Pixar was that they seemed to think that any computer generated unicycle was owned by them. They took footage from Red's Dream and compared it to Unirally and the unicycles were virtually the same; this isn't a big surprise as there’s not a lot of ways you can bring life to a unicycle without looking like the one Pixar did."

I mean ... it turned out to be a really fun game, though. My older brother owned it on SNES and reading the stuff about Pixar Cary mentioned honestly makes me mad.

A lot more interesting history than I expected, that's for sure. Smile

If you ever get into emulating again, I don't think it'll knock your socks off, but you might understand why some mid 90s kids like myself and (at that time maybe pre-teen or teen) older brother could play it for a while. 

It really was cool to be able to do "stunts" while you raced.

there was some obscure N64 game I rented a couple times that me and my roommate loved, but I can't remember what it's called now or even how to describe it. But it was a sort of abstract racing game of these like ink or slime blots. 

Posted on February 28, 2021 5:11 AM

Hmm ... I dunno. The only obscure N64 racer coming to my mind is Extreme G. 

Posted on February 27, 2021 12:34 AM

Very stoked about GG: Strive

Me too.

I was well entertained by your complete disregard for content and a total slacker approach to BaD. Well done, sir. 

Posted on February 27, 2021 7:39 AM

You call that slacking? I only wrote two blogs the whole month. I'm the biggest slacker around here and proud of it.

Posted on February 27, 2021 12:29 PM

I only wrote one blog, and it was just links to my GamerDad reviews. :)

Posted on February 28, 2021 3:42 AM

See, but again, those reviews took more effort than copying and pasting some game boxes, finding some humorous or obvious theme between them and slapping a vs in between said covers. 

Posted on February 28, 2021 1:23 AM

It's all good. I enjoyed everyone's posts this BaD. It's not an assignment. SuperStep just made me giggle with his attitude throughout. 

Posted on February 28, 2021 3:42 AM

Glad I could help. 

Posted on February 28, 2021 3:41 AM

Yeah, but you had a whole theme and real commentary on a heap of games, so by comparison in terms of effort, I still ... win? I'm not sure how this works. 

Posted on February 28, 2021 3:41 AM

Thank you. daftman seemed less amused ... but was he?

I've already played Guilty Gear -Strive- (sorta) so nanny nanny poo poo!

I've never played Rock N Roll Racing, but I've heard a lot about it.  I think it's neat that one of the Lost Vikings is an unlockable character.  

Speaking of which, Blizzard just released a "Blizzard Arcade Collection" that has The Lost Vikings, Rock N Roll Racing, and Blackthorne on it.  I sent them a message requesting a review copy, but I haven't heard from them yet.

Posted on February 28, 2021 3:46 AM

I saw and I commented as Joe Gisoioni, having no idea who that is. Is it a real person? Prove it by sending me his credit card information, email, phone number, social security card and any picture ID you may have of him. Not until all of this is done will I believe he is real. 

I'm fairly certain we rented it and the isometric graphics and racing mechanics were solid (probably mind blowing to little me tbh). Plus, the tracks on the SNES version are based on actual mainstream rock songs. I forgot about the Lost Vikings character unlock. 

Hope you get the review copy! I actually didn't realize all those were made by Blizzard.
