"Everybody stay alert!", "Caiman here, no problems.", "Too late. Game over, pal!", "Enemy shield analysed." and of course "Do a barrel roll!". 'Lylat Wars', named 'Star Fox 64' outside of Europe is a treasure trove of cheesy one-liners. When you hear one, you'll also hear the voices of Peppy, Slippy, Falco or Fox in your head saying it. And this is part of the strength of this game. I'm not not sure if it was meant to be so cheesy, but it makes the game unbelievably memorable. It obviously also helps, that this is easily the greatest rail-shooter ever made, and one of the greatest games overall.

The game technically is quite short, but all the levels are so much fun, and there's multiple paths to take when completing certain objectives within those levels, that it has endless replay value. Of all the games out there, I have seen the end credits of this game roll the most by far. So much in fact, that I can still hum the entire closing music on the spot without even thinking about it or skipping a beat. Everything about this game is imprinted in my memory forever, and I'm reminded of it more often than you would guess. Thank god that it's something good to think back on, my life would have s*cked right now if this game was bad. Imagine that.
