Some of y'all are gunna learn today that on this same system there was StarWars Pod Racing, and you could use 2 controllers, one for each engine. You're welcome.

I wish I had known that back in the day. It was one of my favorite games on n64.

Yeah, I don't think I knew about the two controller thing. I guess with emulation, PC releases, and dual sticks it wouldn't be necessary now

A Switch with the controller disconnected gets you pretty darn close to the same feeling these days.

You could dual stick Goldeneye as well.

That was the "kismet" config right? I remember you could still aim and shoot with the second controller during cutscenes...so it was possible to kill Bond or other characters during the short scene after beating a mission. 😂

I am one of the lucky 10 000.

I always played podracer on my HOTAS like a pleb.

I had the PC version growing up. So, I mostly played with a Gravis Stinger, or a that weird Nintendo branded joystick. The yaw was how you rotated your engines.
