Beating EVERY N64 Game - Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (37/394) 

What I really enjoy about your vids is that you are funny and engaging without relying on being loud, screaming all the time, or using that typical streamer/RU-vidr cadence or editing style. Very refreshing and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for a great series I'll be interested to check out the rest of your oeuvre once I'm caught up on the N64 challenge

You have to give this game credit for doing a long unique story instead of a movie story retread.

Wow despite the fact that its a buggy mess, this game has a LOT of content for an exclusive blockbuster game

You know what's crazy? This game has an active speedrunning scene. The current N64 world record was set 2 weeks ago. The current PC world record was set 4 days ago. Wild.

Thab: A large open room, which can only mean one thing. Me: Boss fight! Thab: Platforming challenge. Me: ............. platforming challenge!

19:57 wheelhouse, the room where you steer a boat is called a wheelhouse

IQ = Indy Quotient. It's a completionist thing. In the earlier games in this series, puzzles have multiple solutions, and some reward more IQ points. Like stealth vs fighting, dexterity vs explosives, etc.

The graphics on this game were top tier for N64. I remember thinking this was a 96-bit game. Better than 64, but not quite 128

7 wardrobe changes and 27 hours of gameplay? That's some serious dedication!

I watched this entire review waiting for 49:55 because wow when that happened on stream I have never laughed harder…such strange unintended humor/glitch out of nowhere. Made my day.

"Turns out you can use the machete underwater so I SLASHED THE SHARK IN HIS FACE" Don't know why but I laughed pretty hard at that one

I like how blatantly apparent it is that the animators who worked on this game spent a truly excessive amount of time perfecting Indy's chin. I'm not sure that was the best use of development time, but it _does_ look spot on

One of my favourites as a kid, played this on the PC though! Wasn't easy.

Imagine renting this game from blockbuster and playing it for say, a weekend, like you're not supposed to be able to finish it on time, so you have to pay for another rent. Does that qualify as 90s microtransactions?

Thab! This is nothing short of epic. The masterpiece of the series so far!

the n64 vids just get better and better. how do you and craw do it? when youre writing the script, do you time stamp the vod for craw? so much goes into these vids! keep up the great work thabPog

25:30 hidden Thab frame :O

I swear this dude has seen only 3 or 4 movies in his entire life

Such an epic video. I love it. Thank you thab and craw for all of your hard work. These videos are incredibly entertaining and informative.

I'm impressed that this game has 30 hours of content and absolutely no right to have even a quarter of that.

The Palawan level is a real place i visited in Philippines called el nideo palwan. They take you to the secret cave where the Japanese hid from the Americans in ww2

Anyone one else catch that at 25:30?

Great job getting through this level, a very interesting game. I've literally stolen som of the puzzles for my DnD campaign, because they are quite creative

The characters are actually from a PC game, Indiana Jones and the Faye of Atlantis. The voice of Indy is the same Voice Actor in both games too

Damn it’s long! Usually movie video games are short and horrible lol. Have a great thanksgiving Thab and community!! 🦃

Phew, how long did this take to edit? Great video as always - entertaining game, haha

A trenching tool is different from a shovel due to its length, it's hard to dig a trench with a shovel because it's too long, so you use a trenching tool.

Ok let me help you out, STOP! Go watch the first two Indiana Jones movies. Then continue life.

Entrenching Tool is the military name for a shovel because that's what they are ossued to soldiers for...to entrench themselves in defensive positions. You were on an old WW2 Japanese-held island, hence the downed fighter plane and dead soldier. The equipment you found belonged to him so it's indeed an Entrenching Tool and not a shovel. The right term was used.

The original 3 movies took place before/during WW2, which is why he was continually apposing Germans. This game took place after WW2, when Germany was no longer a threat, but Russia was.

Fun fact left out of the edit: Thab does not wear a watch. And as the game says, wearing a watch is what makes you civilised. Ergo, thab is uncivilised. thabIQ

When I was a kid I had an old copy of this game from blockbuster. It always froze at the same spot during raft section. I really liked the game, but I never got to finish it.

This is a fantastic game. Loved this as a kid. (Though I played on PC). It is remarkable how much fidelity of the game they were able to keep on N64’s limited hardware.

Not sure if this game did but you gotta remember most games back in the day came with detailed instruction books so there was no need to have long detailed boring tutorials

I've been watching these in a random order and I have to say, I really like how direct yet comedic you are! I also vibe with how, despite when you find aspects of a game frustrating, you seem to not let it impact your experience super bad beyond saying "Yeah this was a lil annoying". Looking forward to seeing you play more in the future, especially my all-time favorite N64 game Majora's Mask! :)

I would have enjoyed and obsessed the crap out of this game back in the day. It looks so complex. I'm amazed this was even possible on the N64. I might try it, see if I can endure the old mechanics 😅 I'm watching all the YT videos in order for this challenge (new subscriber). I really enjoyed this entry, a game I never played or felt curious in searching gameplay videos yet surprised me.

This took me a week to get through, you did an amazing job bro love it

I used to own this game. All I remember is there being some snowy level with a rafting section I could never get past.

17:43 It looks like you defeated the boss with a turkey leg. Which is pretty fitting for today. Happy Thanksgiving, Thab!

It was actually sooo fun watching this summary of the game after watching the full playthrough on stream! Big props to you and Craw for another great video!

This game had such great potential. I’d love to see this game remastered with gameplay fixes, control tweaks, and mission structure fixes. It would be a great game!

A tomb raider shemaful rip-off, but a good one. And your commentary is still very funny.

That boulder spot made me laugh so loud i had people looking at me at work like wtf ahaha lol.

It just blows my mind that devs will make a game like this with an epic amount of content, level design and planning, then there are games that take literally 2-3h to beat, on the same platform, for the same price. I don't even remember this game being popular but it looks like a huge amount of effort went into making it.

Amazing video! Great work Thab and Craw! This series is awesome! also I want to just watch 49:51 over and over haha

Wait is it Friday?!? Early N64 video. What a Thanksgiving treat!

The only explanation is the Anunnaki from the planet Nibiru created all those contraptions. They also built the pyramids of course.

I swear I’ve always thought the n64 was such an overrated system! These games haven’t held up well.

"What do you call the room where you steer on a boat?" It's called the bridge, thab. And the specific station in the bridge where the pilot of the craft actually steers is called the helm.

I think nowadays we are used to NOT having instruction booklets/manuals that we forget the old games had them and they were useful 😂 great series, and glad to see there's a game from the N64 that's gonna take more than four hours to beat.

This is the best series on RU-vid. Thanks for the fun entertainment!!!!

It took him close to 12 minutes to find out it was a driving mission.

The dude literally stopped the apocalypse using a mirror and a whip... and Thab said he is not MacGyver. But seriously, 27 hours is too much for your regular adventure game, I don't think even the later Tomb Raider games from the original saga are that long.

10:45 The most ingenious water wheel design I've ever seen :-P

So excited to see people still playing this game! I got it on PC as a little kid and spent so much time playing it. It was one of the biggest games of my childhood

This series is like digital comfort food.

Loving this series

16:20 imagine being a toddler playing this game in 1999 and then this happen. Game flying through the window was the next obvious outcome.

I enjoy your reaction shots :D especially 24:40

24:38 Best part of the video yet

I have a feeling the reason there’s almost no music is because they used all that space for the voice acting instead.

Thab Beast: the movie.

This video was so good, the editing and your monolog was just excellent 👌

Subscribed! I've never seem more than the first level but your playthrough made me see levels that actually looked fun.

So much childhood nostalgia for this game. Glad you could share this childhood memory of mine with others.

these are the games that make you rage quit as a kid

That huge jump at 1:44 actually kept me from progressing for a while because I didn't think Indy could actually jump that far. Happened a few times in this game.

If I recall correctly, Factor 5 did that game. One of the old Lucas Arts gods, how I miss them. The nowaday's equivalent would be DICE but not the same spirit. But they do have a lot of fidelity with the movies and all, given limitations of the time ofc.

random thab jumpscare at 25:30 / 25:31

"I've never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies.." PAUSE. Count slowly to ten. Resume video

21:00 classic moment of 3d adventure game. lol I stopped halfway through the entire game. There's a lot of trial and error in the stages because you didn't know if it was the direction you needed to go to or if it was a reachable area. The stages are also large and the game is glitchy, which causes a burnout for the player.

I like how Russians are quite common video game enemies and I've heard that real Russians are actually pretty ok with it.

I was never able to finish or complete this Indiana Jones video game title... at least not without any cheat codes or guides (just like Prince of Persia 3D). Hmmm, of well; maybe one day I will try to finish these trials without any crutches (aides); the Simpsons Hit and Run & GTA 4 are two other titles I still can't complete without any cheats (even as an adult). 😱😂

What's funny is... Of all the games you played so far in this challenge this is the first one I really liked. And yeah, the Indiana Jones plots ARE like that. And I love them :) movie 1: He finds the Ark of the Covenant, which can pew pew laser Nazi guys with God's wrath movie 2: Magic red gems giving ultimate power to evil Kali worshippers sacrificing humans (weakest part of the series with constant screaming of the worst female actor in history) movie 3: The Holy Grail, giving literally immortality movie 4: Telepathic aliens have a UFO hidden somewhere in Peru (I think). Also we learn that you survive a nuke going off close by just hiding inside a refrigerator

fun fact: 39:31 reads: King Solomon's Mines - Property of Heinrich Hörner joint stock company. The skeleton in the very beginning of the video is none other than the remains of said Mr. Hörner!

I remember thinking that it was super hard when i played it as a kid and it looks like I wasn't totally wrong.

Stream your reaction to watching the Indiana Jones movies.

The deaths in this game are hilarious.

4:20 woah based Thab

Fantastic video. Recently played this on PC and this was a very entertaining blow-by-blow. Though I would like to clarify, 53:23 is actually you revisiting the babylon site from the second level. There was a door you couldn't pass yet at the end of that stage, and now, for the final level, you return to that door and find the infernal machine on the other side. Jank aside, I think this game is really cool.

Favorite part: The murdering of Simon.

RIP my productivity. Thab released a new N64 challenge video. The editing on this one was exceptional.

never watched a Indiana movie? what?

The hyena massacre of 2021 will never be forgotten

This game is way more bananas than the movies. The movies are fantastical, but nobody is killing a god. They totally hold up and are worth your time.

Never seen Indy movies, makes the snakes reference. 🤔

54:07 "Forget your ivory tower Jones, here's our chance to save Democracy!" Famous last words.

Saying u haven't seen any of the movies might be the most shocking thing I've heard in some time. Especially since u seem to know a lot about other movies and entertainment. That's a HUGE blind spot!

I have never seen this game. Looks like for the time it was neat.

Is this the "Indy games" everyone keeps talking about? Which one of those Russian guys is the amongus?

31:13 He's Dead inside XD

Wow, I would have lost patience with this game after 1 hour.

i definitely did not finish this game as a kid.

25:54 Warcraft II soundtrack remix

Wow good job on this one

In defense of this game, the movies are pretty dumb... But the best kind of dumb.

Very ambitious - GL . There's a lot of shovel ware to get thru

This series brings back a lot of memories. I used to rent these games from Blockbuster as a kid.

I love the channel, man, but I didn’t think you were much younger than me (I was born in ‘84). But I guess you’re Gen Z and you had me laughing and feeling old when you said you did not know about it because it was a blockbuster exclusive and that you’ve never seen any of the movies!🤪 But boy was this a blockbuster exclusive. That box art was burned into my head because it was always on the shelf and there was always a copy of it available! I never rented it bc I thought it looked boring

How haven't you seen any of the movies???
