Wave Race 64 Memories: Julio

"Wave Race inspired me to take up water sports."

I was always a big fan of racing games. When I was in my early teens, I was visiting Disney World with the family, and there was a jet ski game there. I didn't play it but it looked interesting.

When I got home I bought Wave Race 64, thinking it was the same game I had seen. It wasn't, but it was actually better than the one I saw.

I loved the difficulty and the wave aspect. I loved the atmosphere of the game. Riding on a jet ski looked like it was the coolest thing ever.

My little brother was so excited by the game that he stood on a chair backwards and pretended he was racing on a jet ski.

That summer I talked my dad into getting me one of my own (the sit down kind), and I've been hooked on water sports ever since.

It's ten years later and I still spend a lot of time doing water sports.

All thanks to Wave Race 64!
