The Tairyou Jigoku (aka The Overwhelming Hell) is a Japan-exclusive survival horror game in the SIMPLE2000 series. It is likely one of the lowest budget survival horror games on the PS2, but has a lot to love about it! Join me as I talk about this obscure title... Simple 2000 Series Vol. 113: The Tairyou Jigoku !

Something about stomping the bugs makes me upset. Not that bugs are fren, but that stomping a foot long cockroach would be so gross I can't believe it. Ugh, they would keep moving? And the other bugs would go immediately eat it? Ick. Zowa zowa zowa.

This kind of reminds me how important video games and electronic media conservation efforts are. I really hope these older titles remain playable and accessible into the far future. It'd be a shame to lose any of it, even if it wasn't the highest quality or effort material produced. I think your videos go a very long way to help the conservation efforts. Thank you!

@Achromatic_0 Год назад

there are a ton of games for really old systems that are actually really good but unfortunately have a very small following, or none at all. its so cool to dig through all of them and possibly find a hidden gem (its also really cool to see how devs got around hardware limitations back then). thats why i love videos like these so much.

@fuzzy7644 Год назад

It's kind of why emulation is so important. Games like these would be completly lost if it wasn't for file sharing and let's face it piracy. Piracy is bad in short term for businesses sure, but long term it's what stops a game from diappearing forever.

@fuzzy7644 10 месяцев назад

@@ifu138 I remember it being way worse in the past I feel. Emulation for a while felt like a dirty word for some. I do sometimes worry about companies (cough, cough nintendo, cough) forcing hosting sites for these games to shut down is gonna end with millions of obscure games disappearing some day. Which is why a video like this is good. The more spotlight these games get the more likely they will be remembered in the future.

@palchristianandersen9086 10 месяцев назад

@@fuzzy7644 Most of the time the original creators aren't going to see a dime out of the sale of an old classic on modern e-shops anyway. It's just passive income for the CEO of whatever company currently holds the rights to the IP. Some companies barely put a modicum of effort into preserving their legacy games compared to the preservation scene. The e-shops are littered with repackaged 10+ yo mobile ports of classic snes and psx games, sometimes with the bugs from those old ports still present.

@maraganger Год назад

God, there's just something about the game's vibe that hits the right spot. That middle gorund between genius, low budget and straight out of this world.

@Stuurminator Год назад

The fact that (one ending notwithstanding) our survival horror threat is not death or imprisonment but "eww gross" is certainly refreshing.

@themissionslayer Год назад

The PS2 has a specific vibe, no matter the game genre. Maybe this is nostalgia talking, but no other console has made me feel the way the PS2 did. Great work as always! Love learning about these obscure titles.

@giannisc.5254 Год назад

I completely agree, PS2 is my favorite console (although I grew up with a PS1). I've been trying to pinpoint what makes PS2 games special for me. I think that on a macro level it's that companies were willing to risk more and that "middle self" games or even budget games like the 2000 series were acceptable releases from a business point of view. Instead we now have photorealistic graphics and safe choices (when it comes to AAA releases in the west, but the safe part applies to Japanese releases also). In regards to graphics, PS2 had that sweet spot of more than geometric shapes but still....easy to look at and nostalgic ? Good but not too good so devs had flexibility ? I don't make much sense I know, but maybe that's why PS2 games are special.

Holy crap, thank you so much for this video! Back in 2008 I was flicking through some old video game magazines, and skimmed over a brief write-up of this weirdly interesting looking game. For the last several years I've spent far too much time trying to track that game down (all I could remember was that it involved a schoolgirl and a bunch of giant bugs), but never managed to find anything...and then today this video randomly shows up in my recommendations! So thank you for helping me actually find this game after all these years!

That kinda reminds me of the Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. Although it did end up on the shelves of the global market, you can bearly call it localized, I'd say "butchered" is a more fitting term for this kind of adaptation. Luckily, a few enthusiasts banded up to fully translate the Japanese version of the game to allow non-Japanese speaking players to appreciate the game in all its glory.

If creepy bugs fascinate you, then you might wanna take a look at Deadly Creatures. The bugs aren't giant, but you play from the perspective of small critters. Also, you PLAY as creepy bugs. More precisely, as a spider and a scorpion...so I guess it'd be more appropriate to say you're playing as creepy arachnids, but still.
