Honestly, I still wonder if anyone else has thought of like, modifying the assets of any of the Beavis and Butt-Head games (Virtual Stupidity included) and restoring their Metallica + AC⚡️DC shirts…
Funny how people were meming on the Chat member saying there's a still a community for Dogz when that is true and there was a video on the history of the Dogz community
Dogz/catz 5 is genuinely a really good game and I'm not even joking, it was so far ahead of its time with engaging pet AI and a breeding system that allowed you to create pets with unique traits, and you could just keep on breeding them infinity so each generation of animals would evolve and have different traits. It had a scene builder where you could create custom environments, and then you could take your pets to your desktop
2:18:33 I actually have a vinyl record by Split Enz, called True Colours. I'm gonna be honest, the only reason I got it is because it is one of the few albums ever made that has a laser-etched design where music still plays over it (most etched records just have the etched design on that side, with no music). The design is holographic and shines rainbow in the light too (again unlike most standard etched records) so it looks really cool, and the cover comes in various colors so I got the purple and yellow one because I liked that color combo the best. I'm gonna be honest, I bought it just for the novelty factor and because it looks really cool, but the music wasn't bad, I enjoyed listening through it well enough.
In the First Luigi game, i think that strange worm, as the game title sugests, is spaghetti. And the weird Green alien looks a Lot like mr bumpy, from the 90's claymation kids tv show.
The music on that Joker head screen in the second Luigi game is from an irish tv show called Podge and Rodge A Scare At Bedtime from the 90's/2000's. Crazy what ends up in these weird games.
Nice to see a Game Dungeon game on here (Arcade America). 1:13:43 The first thing you play after you buy a GPU powerful enough to render an entire universe.
Holy shit, I remember (barely) playing Fury 3 as a kid. I forgot the name of the game until this stream. Thank you for unlocking a very vague childhood memory.
God, that demo disc was amazing. A shame he didn't get to check out MechWarrior 2. We need to bring this aesthetic back. Not that modern times would do it any justice.
I feel like when a lot of modern studios try a retro aesthetic it ends up just being a really boring game that tries to sell itself off the aesthetic alone. Older games with that style put a lot of their work into making the actual game fun and the art style is just a necessity.
You mean the "explorable virtual museum/exhibit" thing? Because if so, hell _yes_ we need to bring back that aesthetic. My first real experience with game creation was looking at arcade PCBs and learning about dip switches and stuff in the Namco Museum PS1 games.
Not that a triple A game company needs to get their hands on it because honestly the genre wasn't that successful even at the time, it won't do any better now but this is a gold mine for the right indie dev to tackle.
Old grungy 90s scifi with CD technology and box computers are my life fuel. Looks way better than the clean, white, shiny, hologram-laden stuff we have nowadays.
HOLY SH/T I REMEMBER THAT 3D WINDOWS 95 DEMO. I've been trying to find footage of it for years but never knew what to look for. That brought back a ton of memories, man. I remember spending a ton of time in the Demo Room (And also getting frustrated because some of them were just promo images, i.e. the Earthworm jim one.) I can't believe I saw this again.
beavis and butthead has this unique self-aware humor that breaks up small sections of actual wit with pure unbridled stupidity it catches you off guard a lot
Holy shit.. This takes me back. I had a tech savvy neighbor who hooked me up with this and my first PC back in the 90s. Thank you for this whomever sent this in, and Vin for playing it. More importantly, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had almost forgotten all about it. It may not seem like much to most people, and weird to some that I'm a bit sappy about this, but it was a significant time in my earlier life.
I swear "The Daedalus Encounter" is so reminiscent of the TV shows of the era...I almost thought it was a TV show at first with how "awesom radikal rock-out lazer sci-fi" it looks.
I was rewatching this, and that chat member who brought up that dogz has an active community made me go down a rabbit hole tonight. Not only is that the same game series that the later Dogz and Catz shovelware DS games came from, but it DOES have an active community. Also, it seems to have some sort of Spore-like pet creation mechanic, where you can breed your pets to have yoshi, dragons, and even spider bodies. The fans are almost all women, too. Young girls who saw the demo or CD at a store and became hooked. There's a couple of cool blog posts you can find like Petz: A lost community of mostly women gamers and Ballz & Linez. I love finding niche aspects of gaming like this. An entire hidden community behind a game series I always cast off as a shovelware DS series.
I played this game as a kid and every time it's mentioned I feel so nostalgic for it. It's not surprising that people are captivated by it, it's a charming and engaging pet simulation with surprisingly good AI and a fun breeding system. Though the dragons and stuff like that are all mods, the only adoptable animals that exist in the games are dogs or cats depending on the version.
Yet again with naming things in space after things and people in Greek mythology. Case in point - The Daedalus Encounter, named after Icarus's dear old dad who prematurely contracted Empty Nest Syndrome after losing his poor boy to a chronic case of the "look how high I can go, Dad"s.
1:47:42 isn't that the dog sound effect from Mario Paint? 1:58:49 ...why does that vaguely sound like the start of a Beatles song 2:07:26 that actually sounds pretty good. What is this doing in a shitty Mcdonalds game
The title screen music for Luigi and Spaghetti is from a recent Sonic game. I'm positive, I just don't know which one exactly. It's either '06, Colors, or Forces. It's on the tip of my tongue.
Oh, explains why something like what I understand to be the original Spin Doctor can't be found for anything else and you have to be smarter than me to set up an emulator to play it even after you've spent years looking for the ROM XD
@@Roadent1241 Out of this set, to me "The Hive" is most interesting, because it's the same engine as Ravage D.C.X. that was on Microsoft Windows Game Sampler 2. Took me years to stumble upon the full version. There aren't even any complete playthroughs of it on youtube to this day. I beat that rail shooter many times. If I knew The Hive existed, I would've enjoyed it also. Loved early day FMV's. Multimedia wasn't just a buzz word. It was something new and revolutionary - something computers couldn't do before. And it was expensive to have all the necessary components, like the CD-ROM drive and the soundcard. Computer capable of playing multimedia was luxury and a status symbol.
I had that Havoc game as a kid on a demo disc as well. It came bundled with some software for a graphics card. Ran extremely well for a 3d game of the era.
I called the number for the Mach V in the Windows 95 disk. Unlike Vinny's call, the line was female voice selling a 'medical alert device' with a lengthy explaination over what was essentially LifeAlert. After a few prompts, got redirected to Sharon who went through the same shpiel. Since I couldn't get them to respond to my prompts, it was obvious they were pre-recorded bots likely for a fraud line. DO NOT CALL!
1:13:58 Ah, yes. I remember this game so well when I was but a child! To be honest, Space Cadet is actually my first pinball game, but not my first pinball arcade machine. I use to play this so much in my father's computer, I keep playing until I beat his highscore (I never beat it). The funny part is if you pressed some certain buttons, you will "TILT" the game, permanently disabling your controls until you lose that pinball. I also tried experimenting at the start by tilting the game. It...sorta tilted, yes, but the launch will auto-start the pinball for you, causing another pinball lost. Still, besides "Ski" and that one bowling party game, it was kinda fun back then.
1:17:20-ish, regarding your question about why so many games on Windows 95 took place in the desert- one of the bonus features on a 90s animated show i was into as a kid, VeggieTales, interviewed the creators regarding animating the show who had said that deserts were one of the easiest settings to animate
That Su-27 Flanker simulator was a predecessor to the modern day DCS line of flight simulators. Kinda wild but also cool to see Vinny take a look, even if just for a short bit.
Also, I'm disturbed that Butthead's* "laugh" is just creepy breathing. *Butthead is the brunet and Beavis is blond. I don't know how they could create a show with protagonists as ugly outside as they are inside.
