Great work. Even the sound quality has that "fresh out of the Soundblaster 16 audio card that I just spent two hours fiddling with the IRQ settings to get the dialogue working" feel.
I'd love to see this expanded with alternate scenarios. Like, a bad ending if Skinner stays in the burning kitchen for too long. Or, what happens if Skinner tells the truth?
@@iannickCZ well, yeah: they're from the simpsons series do you know how many episodes worth of voice lines the simpsons has???? every character has probably said every common word at this point
Ah back before the internet days and you can Google the answer to these puzzles. Like seriously, who would think you're supposed to answer "Aurora Borealis" at the luncheon puzzle?
You're not! This is the ending where the house burns down. Obviously the game isn't under 10 minutes long. It's just an early "You've died." sequence. You're actually supposed to go right at the very start and "Use" the oven before Chalmers gets there..
Remember when you could actually Google solutions and guides for games quickly. Now you're directed to useless videos which are no help. Ah the good old days
We can basically take the channel anywhere we want to! Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, I'm sure you found a few flaws by moving the camera out of bounds. 😉
I'm sorry for the negativity, but it's mostly a rip-and-patch-together job. The engine was programmed by someone else (think RPG Maker but for P&C adventure games). The audio was ripped from the show. The sprites were ripped from the Simpsons arcade game (by someone else, on a sprite rip website). The background were ripped from Maniac Mansion (though edited and recolored!), etc.. The *original* effort made here was in stringing together the game scenario, which is rather short and with little to no variation. This *would* be legendary status if the "wrong" answers led to alternate conversation routes/events, or if we could explore more of Skinner's house and find additional interactions with Chalmers (ex, serving him that snowman in the fridge for desert under the guise of it being vegan ice-cream, have Skinner's mother come downstairs and chase him away by talking his ear off, or something). There's so much you can do with this format of game but the game just sticks to this one single premise... I'm hoping more will be added to it and that we're just seeing the beginning, TBH. :D
@@wunderwalze To be fair, my biggest disappointment is that he didn't write the physical laws under which operate the computer the OS running his game is running on. And I'm not seeing any credits to electrons and neutrinos anywhere at the end of the game, which I simply think is misappropriation on the dev's part. :( It speaks volumes about his level of talent and professionalism, IMO. I mean, what *serious* dev isn't running a microverse in their living room?
@MS-DOS Friends, not bad. But @ 5:10 you need to pause a bit more after "... may I see it?". like 2 seconds more. then, "No.". That wouldve been perfect.
This might be one of my all time favorite videos in the history of RU-vid... And I have seen thousands upon thousands of videos. This is just an absolute masterpiece! I loved Maniac Mansion back in the day and this is one hell of a tribute to it! And to one of the best internet memes of all time! It's PERFECTION!
My favorite part was honestly Skinner's expression at the end as he stands motionless, helpless to do anything but hold his thumb up while the credits roll as his house burns to the ground behind him.
Imagine in an actual adventure game being expected to figure out that the way to deal with your burning oven and ruined roast was to climb out the window to buy fast-food from an off-screen restaurant that you had no idea was there.
Yeah, I'd like to see some Sierra style bad endings for the wrong choices, haha. And maybe if you explore all of the options where Seymour tells the truth, Chalmers reveals a secret fire extinguisher, helps you fight the A̶u̶r̶o̶r̶a̶ ̶B̶o̶r̶e̶a̶l̶i̶s̶ fire, and gives you a raise for your honesty.
God I love steamed hams just the amount of creativity that people put into their version of the meme can be astounding I love it anywayd this video was great and I hope it gets way more traction at some point
The steamed hams meme is one of my favourite memes because of it's insane creative potential, I always find a new and interesting iteration of this meme, and this one by far is my favourite
This is peak-underrated Steamed Hams, one of the most faithful to the genre - in that it’s faithful to the other genre, and a lot of work went into it - deserves to be more famous
as someone who has seen more steamed hams than i can remember im surprised one of this caliber slipped through the cracks....popped up in recommended now so i think others will soon see it
I’m kind of disappointed they didn’t make a Simpsons game like this. Just exploring Springfield and seeing all the dialogue options you can get from its inhabitants would’ve eaten away weeks of my life.
