ANTIGRAVITY’S GRAND IDEAS “In case you missed them, futuristic/sci-fi/antigravity/extreme racers (we never reached a consensus on what to call them) comprise a reasonably niche sub genre of racing games which enjoyed fleeting prevalence in the back half of the ’90s. At the time, popular culture was steeped in ‘extreme’ everything and our collective optimism could still imagine a future with flying-cars-going-fast as a top-of-mind conceit. In hindsight, our quixotic hovercrafts were as fast as we were naïve, and our dreams of them dissipated in a cynical post-9/11, post-middle class, post-truth haze. Also tragic was the short-lived potential of the kickass video game genre they inspired. Almost as quickly as they rocketed into the gaming landscape, futuristic racers sputtered into obscurity. Ultimately, most had limited mainstream appeal and many were confined to technology that couldn’t fully do them justice. Not that the genre hasn’t had its share of bright spots in the decades since. In 2003, Nintendo and Sega’s jointly-created F-Zero GX (on GameCube) and AX (in arcades) — developed by Toshihiro Nagoshi’s generationally talented team at Amusement Vision — were definitive contributions to the genre. In fact, they might’ve been too definitive as the mainline F-Zero series has laid dormant ever since. Not to be outdone, Sony’s Studio Liverpool, formerly Psygnosis, released a handful of excellent entries in its venerable Wipeout franchise for the PS3, PSP, and Vita, culminating with their remasters in 2017’s phenomenal Omega Collection. In the interim, Sony shuttered the studio altogether. Cynicism aside, let’s boost back to 1998 (give or take) when sci-fi racers were still enjoying the closest they’d see to a renaissance. To help set the stage, the world as we knew it was a utopia of future-inspired optimism. That year, the Beastie Boys and their giant space robot saved Tokyo from an octopus kaiju monster. And in a wholesale rebuke of science itself, Bruce Willis drilled a nuclear warhead into an imminent asteroid to stave off Earth’s annihilation. And most ambitiously of all: everything from iMacs to Atomic Purple N64 controllers were encased in vibrant, translucent plastic amid a dominant trend of colorful consumer products. We were living atop the pinnacle of human ambition. Warping back to today, I thought it’d be fun to escape to that hopeful, hovercraft-filled future we once dreamed of.” [READ MORE]

Star Wars: Episode 1 - Racer
Having this game on N64 was probably awesome. Its fast, thrilling, and some tracks are long enough that they really start to become intense gauntlets. The downsides are the amount of tracks and the AI. There's a decent number of tracks, but are mostly progressively harder versions of the same handful of courses. The AI racers are also not much to write home about, being pretty easily beaten unless you take some wrong turns, in which case good luck catching up.
I long for a high fidelity, modern, successor to this game. The modern star wars games have really mastered the visuals and audio of the universe, so a modern take on this would be insane. It’ll never happen sadly, and if it does they’ll mess it up somehow. Damn.

I've said it before but the funniest thing about Evangelion's deep lore (the one with the aliens fighting over the creation of life on Earth and all) is that it all comes from a PSP slice of life dating sim where it's all on a sidequest of Kaji looking through NERV's computers, and it's not even confirmed, just likely, that Anno wrote it.
It's like if the lore about the Force and Midichlorians and the Sith and Jedi was hidden in a computer in Star Wars Episode 1: Pod Racer for the Nintendo 64 and George Lucas supposedly wrote it but who knows it might have been just fanfic.

My cringe OC X Canon bullshittery has hit critical mass, resulting in a fankid, and I apologize for nothing.

Meet Krystal Sietson-Boonchuy, but their friends call them "Krys" for short.
An amateur mechanic with a surprisingly potent ego, Krys dreams of being a famous Pod Racer (y'know, from Star Wars Episode 1?) and taking on the most death-defying courses across both the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies, even if it worries their two moms to no end.
As clearly seen, they have a prosthetic arm, heterochromia and are non-binary, simply because I figured it all fit together well. Krys also built the arm themself, after getting an injury related to a faulty Pod Racer Turbine Engine.
Profile can be found [Here.]
