I remember getting my brand new N64 and the box it came in. Looking at the back of the box, I remember seeing a game advertised that looked wholly different than anything else I had ever see: F-Zero X. It looked FANTASTIC. Racing against 29 other space ships? Dude, count me in.
Then, I actually got the game. And it destroyed me. It was so fast, and I had to push myself to near death to even keep up. The ramps and sheer speed, the atmosphere, the aliens and that freaking amazing heavy guitar soundtrack... Even if I was rarely finishing races, I was in love because it was so much COOLER than any other racing game I'd ever seen. Goodbye Mario Kart, I was a man now. Over time, I actually did get good at the game.
