Thanks for the advice! Difficult controls was one of my main worries about playing such an old game, so this makes me feel a lot more comfortable. There are a lot of legendary N64 games I missed and this seems like a great place to start. Actually pretty excited!

Growing up with the GBA, I played Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge and loved it. I want some more of that style of gameplay, but not sure I want to head all the way back to N64 to get it.

Is Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts a good representation of the series? Or would Yooka-Laylee be the better modern option? Or is the original Banjo-Kazooie (or its sequel) so good that I should look past the age of the game and give it a go?

Turns out the guy was named Christian Griepenkerl and he died in 1912, so… maybe waiting in line at the pearly gates, he might have gotten pulled to the side for Secondary Security Screening Selection.
