Being the best at a game in your local arcade was a big deal in the 80s and most of the 90s. Your name enshrined at the top of the scoreboard for all competitors to see. Whilst the games were simple, the competition never was.
Just an FYI Ron Bailey (the older guy Berzerk player at 48:40) has since been arrested for child molesting and Joel West who was the younger guy Ron upset by announcing he’d beaten his world record, has passed away. Berzerk is one cursed game 😳
This is a must watch companion to much more famous "The King of Kong". You can't really understand that film without watching this one. I am just not sure which one should be seen first?
Watching this right now. I’ll be 30 this year, this movie brings back soooo many memories. Time really does fly. Cartoons aren’t made like this anymore.
I actually love both, honestly it's an amazing prequel to King of Kong. Because it paints you the twin galaxies "Crew" a lot better than King of kong did. It's obviously true that they made it seem like they were out to put Steve on a pedestal, but a lot of the charm of King of Kong is that "mockumentry" energy.
Great nostalgia here! Believe it or not, I STILL HAVE my old VHS copy of this movie that I had since I was a kid! 15 years ago, back in 2008, my family and I were cleaning house, and there was this bag of old VHS tapes. Once Upon a Forest was placed in that bag, but when nobody was looking, I took the Once Upon a Forest tape out of that bag, snuck it into my room and hid it there. While my mother was planning on selling those tapes, my father, whose answer to old stuff like that was tossing it in the trash, took those old tapes to the dump and discarded them there. In hindsight, I actually saved my copy of Once Upon a Forest from getting junked 15 years ago!
hey I have a question do you know any other 2D film's like this, cause my muscle memory recognizes a film where a submarine captures otters under water in an iceberg environment and there was like a duckling and a goose I think I don't remember I was like 4 at that time 🤔
There's a slightly better version of this movie out there. It includes all of the original music (Flock of Seagulls, Montrose, etc.) instead of these soundalike tracks as well as some deleted material. It's worth seeking out, unfortunately it's not HD.
Any idea off the top of your head what was cut from this version? I've kind of looked back and forth between the two, but am unsure without two full watches. Edit: Nevermind, I found it. I saw a b-hole.
To be fair Todd Todger’s life was down the toilet even here 😂 sleeping on the floor of a filthy sitting room surrounded by Atari relics. I wonder why he couldn’t use the bedroom… can only assume he didn’t have exclusive use of the house.
Moral of life story! Where ever you go where you walk at or any choices you make! Always be very careful where you stand move onto cause you can always end up in any kind of situation dead or alive! Easy to get in than it is hard getting out!
Yeah! Sorry I missed the anniversary, but if it's any consolation, I STILL HAVE my old VHS copy of this movie that I had since I was a kid! 15 years ago, back in 2008, my family and I were cleaning house, and there was this bag of old VHS tapes. Once Upon a Forest was placed in that bag, but when nobody was looking, I took the Once Upon a Forest tape out of that bag, snuck it into my room and hid it there.

"Who wants to see an Egyptian's Lion's Head go against a ghost or something?" It's a Jaguar head, so native to a separate supercontinent, but still... pretty sure ancient Egyptians were into exactly that.
Only the Americans - playing a bunch of video games which came from *_JAPAN_* - could be arrogant enough to claim some $hithole in America is the Gaming Capital of the World, and not somewhere in *_JAPAN!_*
Grow up! Not all of those game were made in Japan, yes a good amount were but not all. And I don't know if you completely skipped watching the movie, but the fact that they were called that was becasue he was the only group that was collecting and recording high scores at that time, from all over. They never said that they were the place that games were most popular, or the place games where made, so what you said doesn't really mean anything. But go ahead, dismiss and hate on an entire country and it's citizens because you think every single person thinks alike...You do know that's not how the actual real world works right? If anything, American's have a hard time agreeing on anything...much less thinking, acting, and having the same exact mentality as each other.
56:57 It's really interesting to me that the That's Incredible VO calls one life in Burgertime a "ship," rather than a "life" or a "guy." I was too young to know if that's how people talked about video games back then, but the word "ship" seems heavily influenced by Japanese video game terminology (where lives are counted with the word 基, "ki," which is usually a counter for ships and planes).
Ahoyhoy There, Fellow RU-vidrinos! I was watching the Netflix version of Watership Down, and when the one Rabbit had the vision of the Danger, which was one of these tractors, I was wondering if it heard about the "Yellow Dragons in Secret of N.I M.H. or Once Upon a Forest.
