It's 3:41 am. We're in the middle of the ride of the horseman of pestilence, and that make me laugh for a minute strait. Thank you. You're the hero I need right now.
"Winners don't do drugs!" Says the villain so he has all the drugs for himself. I've seen through you. I'm going to do all the cocaine, so the villain doesn't get any.
This is one of the better looking FMV-games. Not talking about the video quality, but the game has cool sets, not everything is greenscreened like in many titles from the era.
It's not dedicated to FMV games. It's dedicated to weird or obscure games that most people have never played and/or heard of. It's just only a coincidence that a lot of them have FMVs. Also sometimes he does games that he played as a kid like Pajama Sam and Roller Coaster Tycoon.
burgermike92 Yeah, but the videos on Sim Town and Prison Tycoon were done a really long time ago. I don't know exactly, but I'd say that 9/10 of his videos this year were of FMV games. It's a shame; I was really hoping for him to become that one guy that talks about sex games.
Come to think of it, with those enemies showing up one by one and the occasional colonist popping up as a surprise to not shoot them... this is just a very long, very slow game of Whack-A-Mole.... with a space-related story...
When I was like 12 I remember my older brother's highschool put on a stage play called Space Pirates and I think it was based on this game. I remember the play being really awesome but it's probably just the mystique/nostalgia of the whole thing.
You can usually get around screen tearing (usually just need to switch "output" variable) and other performance related issues issues in DosBox with a few adjustments to the settings. If you are not comfortable with the config files you can use a front end like D-Fend Reloaded. Actually, that one specifically has a ton of pretested profiles that usually run buttery smooth without tweaking. Not sure anyone cares, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
Don't shoot the postman strait from the buyer, but before lightning strikes = You should accept gifts from people but if they'll kill you don't accept them.
The Old Dude is The Old Dude from the two Mad Dog McCree FMV western lightgun games made by the same developer. He greets you the same way in both games' intros and shows up now and then to explain the plot further. I guess him being in all three games means that Space Pirates is the third and final entry in the Mad Dog McCree series, unofficially that is.
Another American Laser Game, "Who Shot Johnny Rock?", attempted to get around the lack of replayability issue by making sure that enemies always died out-of-view (falling back behind a wall or boxes etc.), and the lack of continuity then them to randomise the order in which enemies appeared. It also had multiple endings!
I remember seeing this game in arcades as a kid, don't think I ever played it though. I do however LOVE the set design (the parts that aren't just a desert anyway). It's like the 1990's collectively made a space ship.
Old Dude was also in Mad Dog McCree and threw bottles in the air for you to target practice, but every time you missed a bottle he'd say "You missed that one. Here, try another!" and threw another bottle in the air. In other words, this is practically the same game, but with a Science Fiction genre to it instead of Western.
You do NOT know how happy I was to see this, I just got my appendix out, am currently lying in a hospital bed tired and sore. Seeing Ian post was the best part of the day.
Always remember: if you're a civilian near a firefight involving the protagonist, be sure to jump dorectly in front of them and tell them to "Get Captain Talon!"
I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER WHERE THAT PIRATE GUY LOOKED FAMILIAR AND IT WAS THE WINNER'S DON'T DO DRUGS THING AND WHEN YOU POINTED IT OUT I SCREAMED SO GOD DAMN LOUD
3:20 The reminded me of those arcade alien shooting games with civilians keep jumpscaring in the way resulting in me firing them, and I keep losing because I was trigger happy in those games.
I love FMV too dude. My greatest joy was finding a new "Live Action" game. In the late 90s they were pretty cheap to buy from places like _Babbage's_. That and pixilated PC games were cheap to get because polygons were the new thing. I think some people can't really get how wonderous and neat these games were to those that lived when they were still mainstream. Because of them growing up with superior graphics and this being history. Not that this is always the case, thankfully.
"Do listen to villains" okay I get what you're saying, but you know how if you're in a bank robbery and the manager is like "just do what the robbers say"? *DO LISTEN TO VILLAINS*
Hahaha! Oh Moosie, you don't gotta tell me about Mad Dog McCree! After watching Arin fire and then miss and then fire and miss, he missed both time! Hahaha!!
"Huh Mad Dog McCree, like the dude from Overwatch, maybe that was inspiration? Weird I've never heard of it" *Goes to GameGrumps immediately after this video* "LETS PLAY MAD DOG MCCREE"
