lovely drawing

I'm glad to hear it! Yeah don't worry about the last jiggy for now, funnily enough it's the one which *did* trip me up massively on my revisit this year...

Terrydactyland took me until a playthrough on original hardware to *get* as a level concept, however, and for how much I like the game in all, I never quite felt the last two worlds make sense in sequence after the multi-level sprawling epic of Grunty Industries

I *despised* Tooie on my first playthrough but from then on, with extensive knowledge of how everything everywhere works, it's a top 5 game for me - incidentally, GI is an n64 highlight for me akin to the best of Zelda once you're not trudging around for an hour trying to find a single jiggy...

started playing Perfect Dark for the first time just yesterday and it reaffirmed that very year as my favorite

They aren't even my favourites! I started with I but it is and always has been IV that has my heart! But it's frustrating to see "I like Gen I the best" misrepresented as nostalgia blinders when I haven't seen an honest-to-goodness "Genwunner" in what must be a decade

If, for whatever reason, you need more evidence of n64's complete cultural victory look no further than the Hot Newz 64 VHS. Newz with a z. The most 1999 looking thing this side of the Nookie music video

the children yearn for Banjo's Jon Lovitz-narrated promotional VHS.
