     @AWIVR i don't really care about original piece of plastic, and one of the guys whose n64 i could play it on actually had it but sold it.
     
     In all seriousness though, it's one of the more complicated games to emulate so i'm just curious how the game is actually SUPPOSED to look like. And while i'm at it i might as well re-enact the tv show because it's possibly they only game that lets you do so

     @AWIVR >it's not very good though.
     
     it is very good if you like NGE, and in my honest opinion it's THE best N64 game. only Conker's Bad Fur day comes close to that with F-Zero X right behind both.
     
     
     where do you live? i mean apart from planet earth that is, hwich hiemisphere?

     @AWIVR it's probably the ONLY videogame adaptation that follows the source material closely. Like i said, you can re-enact the TV show as close as possibly if you're autistic. Most anime-based games are "what if" and spin-offs, including pretty much all of the other NGE games. It might be QTE heavy (with one part being the entire thing being a QTE with a final optional "secret" QTE segment) but if you like the series you'll like it a lot. At least I do and I STILL like it, decades later. Aas a game it's... ok i guess? If you set it to higher difficulty it sure is challenging but it does feel cheap.

     @AWIVR ok, i gotta be honest with you. Evangelion (64) might be THE best attempt at making a Tiger Electronics type of a "game" based on licensed media that follows the source material closely.
     
     Like, even without knowing japanese you might go "what the fuck is this shit", but after learning it's quite fun, even if mindless, but it is interactive and it is tied to source material, but in retrospect it is probably one of the BEST things that are tied to source material that has been ever made. And if you do know japanese game literally tells you what to do, and even if you fail at it, some failure is part of the story, like the very first "mission" where Shinji loses cable and essentially loses to alien and have EVA-01 go berzerk is sort of part of the story, sure you can play "the game" without it happening but that's extra.
     
     I mean by no mean it's a "great game", but given that emulators STILL struggle to properly emulate i assume it is technologically impressive and as a NGE fan it is a fucking treat, and I don't envy Americans who had their fucking LJN bullshit game "adaptations"

     @hj beating Sachiel in level one feels like random chance. I broke one of my controllers button/analog stick mashing to break an AT field and I could not get past the dance level on anything other than easy difficulty. 4/10 game, but like I said it is neat that it exists.

     @AWIVR oh right the OTHER QTE heavy mission. Oh well. It was a different time. I'm glad that i (_probably_, it has been more than 10 years) played with savestates (and possibly a guide too), I think it still had some additions over original story, like you CAN fail at some parts like EVA-01 losing an arm, but you can avoid it if you DO succeed at QTE.
