Space Station Silicon Valley (1998)
Genres:Platform, Puzzle
Themes:Action, Comedy, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:A space station that was built more than 1000 years before by Earth, shortly after its launch, vanished. The station has since then mysteriously reappeared and it's bound on a collision course with Earth. Unless Dan and Evo can stop it, all will surely perish. The idea behind the game is fairly simplistic: players take on the role of Evo, a robotic microchip that possesses the unique ability to take over the bodies of dead (robotic) animals. Evo makes his way through a variety of levels and worlds filled with different objectives and, of course, different animals.Show more

Dear Esteemed GOG Team,
We come to you with a request of absurd importance: please add Space Station Silicon Valley to your DRM-free library. It’s a game where a robot named Evo controls a bunch of bizarre robotic animals with ridiculous abilities—and it needs to be on your platform.
Imagine: Evo inhabiting a spring-loaded robotic critter that launches him like a defective circus act, a robotic rat squeezing into places it has no business being, and a robotic scorpion that literally stabs its enemies. Oh, and the best part: a polar bear tank. It’s not a polar bear in a tank—it’s a polar bear that’s a tank with tank treads for legs, crushing everything in its path.
The plot? Evo’s brain gets fused with a robotic dog, and he has to save a space station by jumping into various robotic animals with absurd abilities. There’s a robotic camel that functions as a mobile artillery unit, a robotic sheep that launches itself out of cannons, and a robotic bird... just for some mild variety. It’s the kind of weirdness that makes absolutely no sense but somehow works perfectly.
GOG, you’re the kings of quirky, nostalgic, and weird games. Space Station Silicon Valley is the ultimate bizarre classic, and it’s ready for the absurd joyride you can provide. The community needs this game.
Add it to your store, and we’ll bring an artillery robot camel to your headquarters. It’s fully armed. It’s coming. And don’t worry—it’ll be fine. Probably.
Yours in chaos and nostalgia,
A group of fans who definitely want a digital artillery robot camel.
P.S. The artillery robot camel’s coming. Brace yourselves.
Such a chill game with a chill soundtrack. Escapism at its best. Enjoy the vibes and goof off with all the different animals. Its one of those games you would totally make as a kid if you had any idea how.
Glad to see this on the Dreamlist! I just mentioned it on another game I voted for (plug incoming) Mythic Force, which is basically a better version of Altered Beast. Think Streets of Rage but your characters transform into cool werebeasts. Give it your votes; it won't hurt.
Anyway, Space Station Silicon Valley was one of my favorite games on the N64 growing up, along with Banjo-Tooie and Super Mario 64. I distinctly remember getting stuck on that stupid jungle stage, and I was unable to cross the invisible bridge to beat the dang level. So, I never beat the game. To be fair, I was just a stupid kid. But now I'm a stupid adult who wants to take a crack at it again! Please add this game to GOG. It's been stuck on the N64 forever. Also, we don't talk about the PS1 port. We don't even acknowledge its existence. Space Station Silicon Valley PS1 port where? When? Why?
