Fond festive memories of Christmas '97's gleeful kart, hovercraft and plane adventure: Diddy Kong Racing. Leon, Darren, Karl and our community peer through a haze of Nintendo 64 fuzz to Rare's candy cane (and rinse) fuelled sugar rush.

Darren Gargette has a good old nostalgic explore of Rare's beloved N64 classic Diddy Kong Racing from Christmas 1997. Darren is capturing the game via PC emulation here.

Darren emulates the 2007 DS version of Diddy Kong Racing on PC, but laments the loss of the charm of the 1997 N64 perfect Christmas present original.
