Yes, it’s basically a clone of Legend of Zelda, but, as someone who didn’t have Zelda during my childhood, this game blew my mind at the time and I went through countless play through. Graphics were amazing for the time too
I actually liked this game, but even back then everyone knew it was a Zelda clone. It’s pretty crazy how all these years later its contribution to the series might just have been porn of Crystal.
Damn I miss StarFox.
I got stuck pretty early and never picked the game up again.
It’s alright, but [it started its life as a completely different franchise](https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/20/22292964/dinosaur-planet-rare-n64-game-leak-star-fox) and it shows.
There’s something near!
I had to have my parents buy me a turbo controller just so I could beat that damn button mash minigame.
Edit: I was also _really_ pissed off that Falco was cut.
Devoted? No.
I had this game and really enjoyed it when it came out though.
As someone who played Star Fox 64 before this, the genre change was confusing but Crystal awakened something in me as a 13 year old
I had a weird glitch where the triceratops got hit with a blast of something… and it inverted his colors and was like that for the rest of the game
It was surprisingly a good game.
What? I brought this game up ALL THE TIME haha. I loved it. It was a really good looking game and fun. It just got crap because it was a spin off adventure game.
This game was super good if you got past the early game. I feel a lot of people quit on this game as getting past the 1st big area was rough and figuring out what to do to progress wasnt very clear. But after that everything else was pretty strait forward
How many times did you guys smack that sad Dino?
I wanted to play it back when it was just Dinosaur Planet on the N64, and I fucking loved the finished product even if it was shifted to a half-assed Starfox game.
The Test of Strength is still among my all time button mashing achievements, I don’t think I could do it again now.
This game was stellar. Loved the absolute shit out of it.
Was obsessed with it. Unfortunately I got stuck somewhere in the middle of the game and never finished it.

Devoted is an exaggeration, but I did remember being hyped for this game and enjoying it when it came out. Had smooth animations.
I devoted a part of my teens dedicated to a flash game made from this game. Different genre and I don’t think the esrb would’ve liked it too much.
I did play and enjoy this game but I got lost somewhere and went back to Metroid prime and Smash Bros Melee.

It sold 1.8 million copies.
This game was fucking awesome. It got a lot of hate because people wanted a traditional starfox. Doesn’t change the fact that’s its a super solid adventure game.
Although it is funny they let you literally use the staff as a shield infinitely and as far as I remember it negates any and all damage with zero cooldown for as long as you hold the button. Was pretty funny that made it in as it was
Oh yeah I played this! I remember being super disappointed that it wasn’t a regular star fox. Ended up liking it a lot!
Loved this game. Almost thinking about buying it again.
Played it, but I was in highschool when it came out, so it was just another enjoyable game at the time.
First time I’ve seen this game referred to as a gem
Thus started generations of furries because of Krystal’s cake.
Or so I’ve heard, I’ve only played actual Zelda.
You cannot be old and still upset that this wasn’t a true sequel to Starfix 64.
The game was fine! It was fun and very pretty. The only thing I didn’t like was the main villain getting replaced at the last instant.
Constantly got stuck as a kid (the FUCKING test of fear). Owned it again as an adult and got way further but ultimately got bored, some of the gameplay felt undercooked. I was briefly still indeed obsessed with it as a kid, the staff combat was really cool and the game has really good atmosphere. I should probably finish my save one day.
Love this game, but Tricky can die in a fire!
I loved it because playing it for the SNES and 64 I always wished we could play the characters out of their ships. Then this game launched. I was too blinded by my dreams come true to even notice any flaws it had. I loved it.
Too hard for me but I loved the ambiance. It felt exotic, mysterious.
This was Rare’s last Nintendo game before Microsoft bought them. The end of am era. One can only guess what they would have done has Nintendo put down the money to keep them.
Love this game, the controls were atrocious but I remember it being a lot of fun
Does anyone know if the A Button mashing part had rubber banding AI? I want to say it did
