From the wiki:
Blast Corps is a 1997 action video game for the Nintendo 64 in which the player uses vehicles to destroy buildings to clear a path for a runaway nuclear missile carrier. The game's 78 levels include puzzle elements wherein the player transfers between vehicles to move objects, fill gaps, and create bridges. Blast Corps was developed by Rare, published by Nintendo, and released in March 1997 in Japan and North America. A worldwide release followed at the end of that year.
The game was among Rare's first for the Nintendo 64. Its development team had between four and seven people, mostly recent graduates. Chris Stamper, Rare's co-founder, had wanted a building destruction game, so the team found a gameplay concept that could support it. Blast Corps's puzzle game mechanics were based on Donkey Kong (1994).
Review aggregator Metacritic described Blast Corps's reception as "universal acclaim",[2] with the second highest Nintendo 64 ratings of 1997. The game sold one million copies—lower than the team's expectations—and received several editor's choice awards. Reviewers highly praised its originality, variety, and graphics, but some critiqued its controls and repetition. The game was released in Rare's 2015 Rare Replay compilation for Xbox One and its reviewers considered Blast Corps one of the compilation's standout titles.
