Vinny - Plug & Plague: Reactor Special Metallic Edition 

This thing has legitimately some of the most unhinged audio I've ever heard, and I'm a Vinesauce fan.

So cool of Secret Mission devs to finally make a playable version of what old people see in their mind when they think about video games.

This could have been someone's first experience with a video game

The audio from these games feel like I'm listening to someone play NES games over a phone call from another continent

Many years being a vinesauce fan and this might just be the absolute most truly painful audio from a stream to listen to

"Look at this wretched shit. You wanna talk about gormless? This is lacking in any and all gorm." - Vinny Vinesauce, 2023

maybe the reason why the metallic edition is so special is because it gives you lead poisoning

The music is either the most tinnitus inducing thing youve ever heard, or it slaps *really* hard but only for 5 seconds until the loop ends. I love it. That soccer breakout game straight up sounded like it had eurobeat in it.

i dont know if im just fucked up but this genuinely might be the most sick-inducing vinesauce video

This was the stream that gave me an idea for a haunted plug and play based horror game

This is genuinely the most physically uncomfortable a vinesauce video has ever made me feel and I've been watching corruptions for the past six years.

5:33 I don’t know why but the way Vinny says “electrocution” has me in absolute stitches 😭

2:22 Huh, I never knew Magcargo was super effective against Psy types

this is probably one of my favorite plug and plagues just because of how bizarre it is. watched it for the millionth time last night and kept asking myself "where did they get this music? why are the loops so short? why do they keep reusing audio and making the loops even more short? why do the games look like they're at -1080p?" plus it spawned some great vinny laughs. bean eater is legendary.

4:31 both Vinny and Joel have asked the same question once

The visuals are the most consistently offensive thing about these things. They don't know how to properly work with whatever low-Bit engine they use, so they just draw whatever and let it get Bit Crushed to fuck, making it look like the nightmares I had after my Covid shot. This one did the same with Audio, "Who cares if it sounds like the music is coming from deep in someone's colon? Just toss it in there and let the engine figure it out!"

someone needs to upload the music from this, it actually slaps.

7:35 me when i machine gun my diarrhea into an oil drum

So one of my earliest childhood memories is being shit scared of our Namco plug and play, a pac man one I think, not sure why, but it always had this “aura” of unsettling eerieness to it, maybe it was our shitty TV, the crackly quiet distorted sound, the constant buzzing of the connection cable, the wobbly visuals that faded in and out of the screen, no idea - but I’ve been watching vinny for over 8 years now and out of all the Plug & Play streams this one was the closest thing to that unsettling atmosphere, this whole consoles look and sound, the weird music, the distorting noises, it’s fucking awful, some weird deeply ingrained fear fucking awoke during the stream, thanks Vinny for awakening my childhood flight or fight response again after all these years 🤣👍

A classic from the Vinesauce "gormless" arc

"You wanna talk about gormless? This is lacking any and all GORM." Another great Vinsult from my favorite pasta man.

just leaving it here for anyone to know perhaps 3:28 gradius 3:43 dizzy? 4:33 nuts and milk 5:49 monaco gp? 6:22 kings knight 7:13 mighty bomb jack 7:40 arkanoid 12:19 commando? 12:31 tower of drugia 13:30 twinbee 14:49 chack'n'pop 15:12 city connection 18:57 elite? 19:14 darius? but submarine 20:10 scuffed up robotron i ever seen

5:22 GENOME Soldier Vinny

17:08 I heard Bach’s Minuet in G and immediately just stood up.

Damn, I’m shocked how bootleg makers love inserting italo-disco/eurodance songs in their consoles. First ‘Hey Hey Guy’ by Ken Lazlo, now 8:29 is straight up ‘Touch In The Night’ by Silent Circle.

12:42 this part killed me, from the ominous music to vinny’s narration… “cool condom noises” lol

10:00 I think Vinny was talking about that song on the "Uncle Samsonite" video, think it was called Pony It's a weird song, but it's a banger of a tune

I think some of those audio loops activated some sleeper agents

7:11 That melody loop kinda sounds like a sped up version of Touch in the Night

This video legitimately feels like a baby sensory video for much older audiences

18:59 Sped-up Windows 9x/XP notify sound. 20:39 At this point, this sounds like the weirdest Vaporwave album "▣世界から解放され▣ by ░▒▓新しいデラックスライフ▓▒░".

The music for the game at 12:15 is also in that bootleg 3D Pikachu Genesis game he played years ago.

This is amongst one of my favorite Vinny streams ever. Some of the funniest stuff he's ever streamed. The TwinBee clone with the insane music had me laughing for a good week straight.

9:52 I bet the song he was thinking of was "Pony" by Genuwine.

11:07 It never gets old, does it?

All the maplestory sprite rips are really sending me

9:55 the song vinny was thinking of was not Daft Punk but Ginuine's song Pony

14:45 this is a sped up sample of Touch in the Night by Silent Circle, in case anyone was wondering

Vinny should play the plug-in-play that has 76,000 games in one

The spaceship game was the same noise from Independence Day when the alien ship arrives.

Still love that the menu music just sounds like Phil Collins "Take me Home"

7:11 The music is literally the beginning of Touch in the Night by Silent Circle, but sped up by 200%

This art unironically looks like its a found footage arg... Omg someone shoild make a arg about a cursed plug and play.

At 17:07, that's music stolen from Dutch theme park Efteling (Track is Paddenstoelen). It's weird to hear something so local in a Chinese bootleg

Pier did a great job on the edit here. I need an ID on that Jungle break in the fighter plane game too

idk what you're all on about I think the crunchiness of the audio is transcendentally good Particularly at 20:01

"PLUGNPLAYCORE" is my new favorite music genre not gonna lie.

the world needs need more games with sped up looping audio recorded with a microwave

13:15 This is the standby sound for the New Den-O driver. Bizarre hearing it here

I realised something. All (or most) of these games are reskinned NES games - Enemy Hunt is King's Knight - That game with the "milk" number is Nuts & Milk (yes that's the actual name) - Jumper is Super Mario Bros - that one game near the beginning is just Chip & Dale

5:36 Binyot's confused bewilderment is so intense that Watto briefly slips out

3:55 I know this. That's Zeek the Geek. Impressive that someone would rip of shareware of all things. (Zeek does not let you walk though the walls.) 6:03 is Bump & Jump. 7:27 is some version of Bomb Jack.

I think the song he's talking about at 9:51 is "Hello" by OMFG

The game at 2:20 has some Magcargo and Qwilfish. Totally not stolen from anywhere else!

As a Korean, I’m a little bit proud that Chinese companies now seek after our game’s design too.

2:30 Gotta love the blatant Magcargo enemies

Vinny finally plays schüt games 11:30 the fabled babby AND schüt game

I'm 95% sure this thing's still directly using NES-derivative hardware. Some NES-on-a-chip forms have been known to have replaced graphics and sound hardware, that """"""improves"""""" the output of the games included (note the airquotes). The CPU and gamecode itself is unchanged, but what draws to the screen itself has been changed, along with the graphics and musical in each game's data.

This audio gave me superpowers

I'm fairly sure that the console's main menu music is the first couple of bars of Phil Collins' Take Me Home

The incredibly bitcrushed beats and the 5 second loops just mesmerize me

I never thought that audio can mentally damage a person... And yet, here we are...

15:36 made me choke on my muffin Gormlio might be the most cursed character in this series so far

Not even 3 minutes in and my ears are screaming at me to stop watching. Keep up the amazing slop

I remember some kind of program that let you replace NES graphics with custom ones, and I wonder if a similar technology was applied here to easily reskin official games into games at home.

The pause note in BEAN EATER is the start of the beat in "Harder Better Faster Stronger" by Daft Punk.

i think the only thing these games would be VERY GOOD for is sampling of these sounds in electronic music lmao i think producers would have a field day w/ it

i'm so glad this got turned into a main channel video, this is my favorite plug and plague segment yet

I think the song he’s talking about around 10:00 is Save Yourself by Stabbing Westward

6:20 never thought I'd see a bootleg copy King's Knight of all games.

4:41 new favorite Vinny laugh

I think this is powered by some sort of asset-replacing NES emulator

16:10 that's a california raisin spite

The bootleg Phil Collins ties it all together.

10:08 I never thought I'd see a flash game on a plug and play unless the assets in ownage burst are ripped from something else

2:04 that music suddenly got super good. edit: also excellent cow sprites.

This is like someone ported that HD NES emulator to some form of a console with custom assets.

In the town where I was born Lived a man who used to stream And he told us of his life In the land of shitty games So we sailed on to the live 'Til we found a shroom of green And we lived beneath the chat In our metallic plug & plague

That crappy game at 3:36 has the pvz lawn in the background lmao

6:05 is that fuckin City of Heroes music?!

8:57 bowser turns into Paras?

I like that they had a Mighty Bomb Jack knock-off in there. Imagine wanting to steal that.

8:10 231,539 by the way

6:56 Is Wizard Kaliva supposed to be a reference to Wiz Kalifa!?

18:55 The screen shake was the pilot desperately trying to hold in a poo, then it stops as he rips his trousers in half.

love the ediitng this time around, made the content actually bearable. lookin good there pier

1:58 I'm like 90% certain that boar is also a stolen, recolored asset from Maplestory. Odds are, everything is stolen assets, but just thought that was interesting. Oh, and immediately the next game has Macargo and Qwilfish from Pokemon in it... not even re-colored, just completely shameless. Lol.

Witnessing a bootleg Tower of Druaga at 12:33 was SO fucking jarring

5:23 Vinny sounds like a guard in a stealth game

22:05 I'm probably not the only one who knows where that crying sound clip comes from right?

Oh god, I remembered I had a tiny arcade console when I was like nine that I saw on a magazine and i was like "Look mom, there's super mario on that console I want it!" and then what I got was this. Like I legitimately remember some of the games that were here. I don't know which company makes these games, but I feel like if I dive into it I'll get into a huge rabbit hole.

11:04 Very uncanny that I said that at the same time Vinny did.

20:53 vinny unintentionally did a Spamton

I need this console you don't understand. It's so uncanny.

Great video as always, Joel!

This audio is unfathomable.

11:58 OH MY GOD IT LOOKS LIKE RED FROM NES GODZILLA

This is the Daft Punk: Human After All experience

Loved being here for these streams, during one of them I was getting over a sickness and I felt like crap watching Vinny play crap. Perfect combo lmao

the loop at 4:25 rules
