Play Taz Express (usa) (proto) Online

I picked up Taz Express for the Nintendo 64 around 2000, a time when the console was full of experimental titles. It was published by Infogrames, and it stood out as one of the more unusual platformers on the system, based on the Tasmanian Devil character but taking a very different approach from the typical cartoon adaptation.

You control Taz, and your main job is to deliver food orders across a series of isometric levels. The core loop involves running through each stage, grabbing the required ingredients that are scattered around, and then tossing them into a moving train car before the timer runs out. Signature mechanics include your spin attack, which you use to defeat enemies and break open crates, and the constant pressure of the clock, which forces you to plan efficient routes through the multi-path stages. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty comes from managing both the enemies and the strict time limits for each delivery. It feels like a chaotic race against time where one wrong turn can ruin a perfect run.
