You can download the game right now.
I was 12 when Forsaken 64 came out and, well, the ads for the game certainly left an impression when they were popping up in the video game magazines of the era. A campaign that would blow the mind of your average puritanical Redditor these days, what I didn't know then but do now is that the game really doesn't have much to do with any of the photos of model Donna Decianni that were used to sell it. Take a look for yourself in the trailer for Forsaken 64's rerelease on Nintendo Switch:
Here's what the game is all about:
You are a ruthless mercenary, sent to the condemned remains of Earth as part of a covert operation codenamed “Forsaken.” Your mission is to infiltrate and destroy the last bastions of the mechanized terror that wiped out all life on the planet. Earth is a death trap riddled with merciless mechanoid adversaries and gangs of rival bounty hunters, and you’ll have to brave them all astride your anti-grav pioncycle to make your fortune…or meet your doom. Choose between different modes in this first-person shooter title released for the Nintendo 64 system in 1998, and enter the fight in Single Player Mode or Multi-Player Mode. Then, select your bike. Each bike has different attributes, each biker a different attitude. Pick one that suits your style, then dive into your mission. The availability of weapons, enemies, and powerups changes depending on the level you play, so stay sharp!
If you're interested in trying it out, you'll need to have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. From there, download the Nintendo 64: Mature 17+ app and you can start playing straight away, as Forsaken 64 is out now.
