Hydro Thunder (Actual N64 Capture) - Lost Island
[Note: This video and description were originally posted on Youtube on November 10, 2014.]
This is a capture of me playing Hydro Thunder on the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using a real Hydro Thunder cartridge.
I felt like recording some newer, higher-quality Hydro Thunder footage since the old footage was grainy and too dark. I also felt like using my steering wheel accessory that I previously used for my Off Road Challenge playthrough. The steering wheel ended up working really well for this game and I even beat some of my old times with it.
Hydro Thunder is the last great arcade game that I can recall playing before arcades pretty much died. I dumped a lot of quarters into this game and then spent plenty of time playing the various console ports. The Dreamcast port was the best (I played it once or twice), but the other ports weren't bad at all.
I think one of my friends owned the Nintendo 64 version when I was in high school, so I played through it a bunch around 2000/2001. I may have rented it as well. For some reason the boats move a little slower in the Nintendo 64 version, but it has pretty good graphics overall. There's even a unique four-player mode, but it sucks terribly because you're stuck in a first-person view and the frame rate drops to horrendous levels.
In this video I got first place on Lost Island using the Banshee.
Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.
I'm using an Interact V3 Racing Wheel.
