This review is from: Pilotwings 64 (Video Game)
I remember this game quite well... It was 1 of 2 launch games for the Nintendo 64. I was only in 6th grade when the 64 launched, and I was spoiled back then so of course I got the system on day 1. However - I was unable to get Super Mario 64 (it was the harder game to find of the 2 at launch, and seeing how there were only 2 games... it was almost impossible to find either stocked at a store). So I ended up getting Pilot Wings at launch instead.. I was a little bummed due to the fact that Mario was what I was looking forward to (who wasn't?) but as i popped in pilotwings I realized this was another gorgeous looking game that was a lot of fun to play! Blowing things up with rockets sticks out as a memory for me. I remember spending hours just cruising around the maps in the different vehicles just to explore and see everything. There was a neat feature to make the maps snowy (rainy?), foggy, dusk, day or night. The soundtracks was also very memorable and i kinda wish i had the soundtrack on CD now a days to spark those memories of when i was a kid. A week or two later, i finally got mario 64 - but pilotwings didnt disappear.. i remember playing it for almost a year after launch. Classic game for a classic system
