    My biggest “wow” effect was Gran Turismo (1). The moving reflections on the cars!

      I legit thought that was a pre-rendered video until I saw them crash in the same place I did.

        N64 at the time appeared to be largely irrelevant within mainstream culture, in Europe at least. Not many people would have even knew of that game’s existence outside of magazine readers.

        £70-£80 for new games (Irish punts by the way) which converts to €100 and that’s without adjusting for inflation. Jesus, the N64 really had no chance in Europe. Shame though.

        Must give that game a go now though. Thankfully in hindsight we can all revisit some overlooked stuff.

          I would have thought the Top Gear games would have been popular in Europe. The first two on the SNES were basically ports of Lotus and developed by Brits.
