Never played Jet Force Gemini, but I do remember it quite a bit from those days.
It's a good thing you provided the magazine so I can look over it!

@Dennis5891
Little known fact. Jet Force Gemini uses a modified Diddy Kong Racing engine as it was the game that team at Rare worked on next, and they didn't share engines between teams.

The controls took a bit to get used to, but then again it was the early days of third person shooters on consoles, and with a single analogue stick to boot, so that's only natural.

But I completed it and had a ton of fun with it. Very unique game at the time.

@OutofPrintArchive

That's cool to hear. Do you have any magazines with stuff from Blast Corps in it? That was another game I fondly remember from the N64 days.

@Dennis5891
Oh absolutely.
I've done the complete set of N64 Magazine, which did the import review for Blast Corps in issue 2:

I've also done a couple of N64 Pro and 64 Magazines so far, but there's still a ton to scan on those.

BTW, your avatar seems to be broken as it shows up as a question mark.

Awesome! I just grabbed that issue. And that is strange. I just changed my avatar. Did that fix it?
