Garth: "SPHINCTER" [video suddenly cuts to Wayne's World logo] I lost it there. This video is strangely amusing. I've had a hard time looking for clips from this thing; thanks for the upload!
I imagine this being super clunky when you actually tried playing it, but this doesn't seem so bad. It feels like something Wayne and Garth would have made
I know we played it at the time, the movie was huge and any tie in got our attention. Clunky is the word for VCR games in general, but with most board games and just kids playing, making up or changing rules on the spot to maximize fun was a common thing. So I do know we had fun with it, but I can't say how closely we stuck to the official method.
When I was 3-4 years old, I was at the neighbors watching them play this. One guys name was Billy. So it blew my mind when Garth said, "Really!?" That's a good name." Because I thought he said Billy, lol
You really have to imagine the rest of the room to get the true experience. You and your idiot friends are sitting together and playing the game, you're doing all the movie lines and bits when the guys on screen bait you to and telling your own jokes in the meantime. And the guys are actually taunting you as you play. It was surreal, it was as close to getting inside the movie world as one could get at the time, and may even be the best game form of the movie, period. It's not about the simple mechanics of game play, it's everything else around it, and even with a set tape, every game would be different because you all do and say different things, and even develop running gags over time. If you're just watching this tape in the modern day, you're only getting maybe 1/4 of the real experience.
This game brought to you by Grey Poupon. "I could be out playing street hockey. Not! This is great!" Think you used that 'not' a bit early, there, Garth. "All the players who haven't picked up a babe, or hunk..." Wayne's World, a progressive, all-inclusive game. Huh. I had no idea that word had an H and some K's in it. I've been spelling it 'way' all this time. "There are times when it's appropriate not to mince words." Agreed. This is awful. "The only way for someone other than Garth to win now..." Is to kill Garth! "...is to rewind and play all over again." oh. Ha ha, oh, Wayne's World game, you're such an asshole.
Is this the complete video? I have the game but it didnt have the VHS video with it and, call me crazy, but I would like to actually play it... wait. The box says it is 45 minutes long and this video is only 26 minutes long :(
The AVGN or Board James should review this and other VCR games. Edit: Also, I'm 10 minutes into this nonsense and I *still* haven't heard my special sound.
