Jet Force Gemini was one of those N64 games that stuck with me long after I first played it. It wasn’t just another third-person shooter — it felt like a space opera in miniature. You had these three heroes, a loyal dog companion, massive bug-like enemies, and entire planets to liberate. For a kid at the time, it felt like stepping into a Saturday morning cartoon mixed with a blockbuster movie.
What really made it special was the freedom and scale. Each world felt alive, full of hidden paths, villagers to save, and enemies that swarmed like nothing else on the system. The mix of exploration, action, and even light platforming gave it a depth I didn’t see in most shooters back then. And the soundtrack still echoes in my head — triumphant, adventurous, sometimes eerie.
But here’s the thing: Jet Force Gemini has never gotten a proper modern release outside of rare collections. Without GOG, it risks fading into obscurity, remembered only by those who had an N64 back in the day. GOG’s mission is to preserve gaming history, and this title deserves to stand alongside other classics.
I’d love to see Jet Force Gemini DRM-free on PC, ready for new generations to discover and for old fans to relive without dusting off aging hardware. It was a bold, quirky experiment by Rare — and those kinds of experiments are worth preserving.
