So let's go 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.140 ahead and discuss what else we got going on. 00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:34.420 What you guys been into? I've just been reading. 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.299 Reading. I'm still reading my dungeon crawler 00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:40.180 carls, but I'm going slow with those. Yeah. Where 00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:44.319 they get too big now. Yeah. I just, I don't know. 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:46.219 I can't remember if I talked about it last time 00:01:46.219 --> 00:01:48.560 I recorded, but I got like a little tiny e -reader. 00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:51.420 Yeah. I think you said that. Okay. Yeah. And 00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.079 I've been reading crime and punishment show. 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.420 That's where most of my time has been going. 00:01:56.140 --> 00:01:59.640 So that's when the intellectual books. Yeah. 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.849 Way beyond my, my intellect. Yeah, I don't know. 00:02:04.909 --> 00:02:08.849 It's old school, and it's got its moments. It 00:02:08.849 --> 00:02:11.870 was translated from Russian, too. Yeah, yeah. 00:02:12.629 --> 00:02:16.110 So I'm about, like, 60 % through the book. But 00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:19.129 it's got its interesting moments, and then there's 00:02:19.129 --> 00:02:22.789 just, like, a lot of babbling. Dude, one of the 00:02:22.789 --> 00:02:24.729 biggest things, like, every time they mention 00:02:24.729 --> 00:02:27.110 somebody's name, they do, like, their first and 00:02:27.110 --> 00:02:30.469 last name. Or I don't know if that's, like, how 00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:32.270 names work in the Russian thing or whatever. 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.000 If they just cut out the last name every single... 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.840 That book would be like 200 pages. It's ridiculous. 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.419 It's because Russian names are so long. Yeah, 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.560 well, yeah. And then they do the first and the 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.340 last name. And then sometimes they do three names. 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.520 Yeah. It's like, geez. Yeah. That's weird. And 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.419 then you got Japan that does the last name first. 00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:55.979 I think that's about it, really. I watched some 00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:58.159 of my Trigons, but I haven't made it too far 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.060 with that. All right. Who's next? A Mastered 00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:04.550 Vector Man. Nice. Nice. But yeah, I got that 00:03:04.550 --> 00:03:08.009 finished up. And then I'm still learning Latin. 00:03:08.689 --> 00:03:10.469 Yeah, nice. Are you getting anywhere in that 00:03:10.469 --> 00:03:14.370 book? Yeah, it's getting pretty tough. Yeah. 00:03:15.669 --> 00:03:17.990 Because before I'd usually read a page and be 00:03:17.990 --> 00:03:20.569 like, alright, that makes sense. Now it's like 00:03:20.569 --> 00:03:24.009 I have to read it multiple times. Yeah, yeah. 00:03:24.469 --> 00:03:30.849 I do that with English. Yeah. I already knew 00:03:30.849 --> 00:03:37.750 that one. But the, it's, I don't know, the, like 00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:40.349 the he, she, and it, and all that stuff, and 00:03:40.349 --> 00:03:42.810 dude, it's just ridiculous. Yeah, do they have 00:03:42.810 --> 00:03:45.229 genders? They don't have genders, do they? They 00:03:45.229 --> 00:03:48.750 have, they do. Oh. They have masculine and feminine, 00:03:48.849 --> 00:03:52.629 and then they have generative, and then they 00:03:52.629 --> 00:03:55.530 have possessive. Dude, it's just ridiculous. 00:03:56.069 --> 00:04:00.340 Who came up with that idea? I don't know. It 00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:04.099 was like, this word sounds feminine. I have no 00:04:04.099 --> 00:04:09.860 idea. Makes no sense. Probably some man. I mean, 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.419 yeah. Well, yeah. I don't know. I just understand 00:04:14.419 --> 00:04:16.180 why someone took one of the most complicated 00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:18.480 things ever created and said, let's make it harder. 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.699 Yeah, pretty much. But anyway. Why make it easier? 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.100 You're using your brain. I guess so. Why is any 00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:29.029 language not written? Left to right. Like, why 00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:31.689 is that just a thing? Yeah. Well, that I can 00:04:31.689 --> 00:04:33.550 understand. No. What if you were left -handed? 00:04:34.129 --> 00:04:37.110 I mean, reading -wise. I don't know. Latin usually 00:04:37.110 --> 00:04:40.589 has, like, the verb last. Yeah. And then, like, 00:04:40.589 --> 00:04:42.470 the middle of the structure. Like, it's usually, 00:04:42.490 --> 00:04:44.889 like, beginning and then end and then to, like, 00:04:44.910 --> 00:04:47.290 middle. Yeah. Maybe someday I'll make a really 00:04:47.290 --> 00:04:50.790 simple language. Hmm. Yeah. Grumpy. I hope so. 00:04:52.930 --> 00:04:55.790 Just go back to cave, man. I think Home Improvement's 00:04:55.790 --> 00:04:59.480 already done that. Yeah. Yeah. I think emoji's 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.339 fixing everything. Everything's just gonna be 00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:04.100 emoji. It's going back to hieroglyphics. Yeah, 00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:08.759 that's fine. Readable hieroglyphics. Jacob, what 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.259 you got? I actually have a decent amount of stuff. 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.279 I beat Clocktower 3 in the first Medieval. Clocktower 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.680 3 was decent. It wasn't really that good of a 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.139 game, but gameplay was fairly simple. It's something 00:05:23.139 --> 00:05:26.720 you can just easily understand. Puzzles weren't 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.420 too hard. Is that one still point and click like 00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:33.839 the first one was? No. It's like an actual survival 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.360 horror game, I guess. Yeah. But yeah, the story 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.240 was good. Gameplay was not bad. Pretty simple. 00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:43.459 You can get through it pretty easily. But I enjoyed 00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:47.220 it. And the medieval was awesome. I mean, just 00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:50.060 one of the best games, honestly. Yeah, it's awesome. 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.120 That game actually has some pretty good humor 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.870 in it, too. It's funny. Yeah. Damn, dude, Fortescue's 00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:57.370 like one of my favorite characters. I love him. 00:05:58.529 --> 00:06:00.470 He's awesome. It sucks that Sony does nothing 00:06:00.470 --> 00:06:04.129 with him. I know. It's usually how it goes. They 00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:06.129 don't do anything with their characters. True. 00:06:06.810 --> 00:06:09.930 And then I also beat Medieval 2. Nice. And it's 00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:11.889 definitely not as good as the first one. The 00:06:11.889 --> 00:06:14.250 first one was just so classic. I just, I don't 00:06:14.250 --> 00:06:16.370 like how you can get, if you get hit in Medieval 00:06:16.370 --> 00:06:18.750 2, you will stop attacking. Like, you can't attack 00:06:18.750 --> 00:06:21.089 if you get attacked. I just loved how you can 00:06:21.089 --> 00:06:23.459 rush enemies in the first game. And it's like, 00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:24.959 well, you got to be careful because you can lose 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:26.860 your health fast. When the second game's like, 00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:28.579 nope, you got to think it's like that. I don't 00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:31.279 like that. But in any case, it's still a good 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.720 game. I still enjoy it. Dude, the museum. I love 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.740 the museum in that game. Yeah, that's cool. And 00:06:35.740 --> 00:06:38.259 the first boss, the dinosaur. It's sweet, right? 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.899 He changes his bones, dude. That is honestly 00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:43.300 one of the coolest boss fights ever. Yeah, that's 00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:46.399 cool. Like, it's short. It kind of sucks that 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.800 it's so short. But otherwise, like, the idea 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.370 is insane. Where it's like a bunch of bones can 00:06:51.370 --> 00:06:53.470 rearrange and become different dinosaurs. That's 00:06:53.470 --> 00:06:57.930 awesome. Besides that, I played the Resident 00:06:57.930 --> 00:07:01.350 Evil 1 remake. And that was pretty good. It's 00:07:01.350 --> 00:07:03.269 definitely better than the original. I mean, 00:07:03.310 --> 00:07:06.149 they added a few things. Some of the puzzles 00:07:06.149 --> 00:07:08.610 were just easier to understand. And the overall 00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:11.870 flow was improved. Did they keep the good basement 00:07:11.870 --> 00:07:15.889 music in there? That was the third one, wasn't 00:07:15.889 --> 00:07:18.189 it? No, it was the remastered version. Well, 00:07:18.209 --> 00:07:23.129 the director's cut. No, the safer music is more 00:07:23.129 --> 00:07:26.129 based to the original Resident Evil. Did I talk 00:07:26.129 --> 00:07:29.449 about this? That guy who did that director's 00:07:29.449 --> 00:07:34.730 cut, he claimed to be deaf for like 20 -something 00:07:34.730 --> 00:07:37.490 years. And no one found out about it until like 00:07:37.490 --> 00:07:41.750 20 -something years later. Really? Okay. I think 00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:44.050 it was deaf. He claimed to be deaf for like a 00:07:44.050 --> 00:07:47.600 long time. And he got caught. He got caught lying 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.360 about it. I don't know. It's just a weird, random 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.399 thing. Such a weird thing. I don't know why you'd 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.779 do that. Because you don't like talking to people? 00:07:55.899 --> 00:07:59.899 I don't know. And then he got accused of taking 00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:02.959 other people's music. He wasn't even making the 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.439 music himself. I don't know. It's a weird, whole, 00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:06.759 crazy thing. You could be like, well, I'm deaf. 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:08.879 How can I steal other people's music? Yeah, I 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.699 don't know. I just wanted to bring that up because 00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:13.199 I thought it was such a weird fact. I play a 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.399 little bit of House Slipper. It's pretty fun. 00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:19.500 It's simple, but it's so relaxing. It's like 00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:21.079 Power Wash Simulator. Yeah, I was going to say 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.500 that's my Power Wash Simulator. I'm reading a 00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:27.139 book called A Movie Making Nerd, which is James 00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:30.720 Rolfe's autobiography. He's the Angry Video Game 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.200 Nerd. It's such a train wreck. You would think 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.820 because his most famous character is the Angry 00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:40.279 Video Game Nerd, you'd think he'd be talking 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.360 about all kinds of stories about that and creation. 00:08:44.269 --> 00:08:47.610 But he goes on a bunch of like tangents and stories 00:08:47.610 --> 00:08:50.330 about his earlier works. Because before he did 00:08:50.330 --> 00:08:52.509 Angry Video Game Nerd, he made a bunch of his 00:08:52.509 --> 00:08:55.070 own like home. Well, he made like actual movies. 00:08:55.889 --> 00:08:58.389 But it's like, again, everybody knows him because 00:08:58.389 --> 00:09:00.870 of AVGN. They want to hear about, you know, the 00:09:00.870 --> 00:09:04.029 stories that behind Video Game Nerd. But there's 00:09:04.029 --> 00:09:06.490 just a bunch of shit about what he did before 00:09:06.490 --> 00:09:09.690 AVGN. There's not a lot of stuff about the actual 00:09:09.690 --> 00:09:13.049 nerd. So it's just weird. It's a train wreck. 00:09:13.070 --> 00:09:14.629 There's a lot of stupid stuff in there, too, 00:09:14.669 --> 00:09:16.830 that's kind of unintentionally funny. Mm -hmm. 00:09:16.990 --> 00:09:20.409 I didn't even know we had that. Yeah, I think 00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:22.289 it came out, what, two years ago? Two, three 00:09:22.289 --> 00:09:24.929 years ago. It's pretty new. And one last thing. 00:09:24.990 --> 00:09:26.970 I've been watching, I only watched three episodes 00:09:26.970 --> 00:09:30.429 of this show, but it's called The Detour. It's 00:09:30.429 --> 00:09:33.669 actually pretty funny, I think. It's a family 00:09:33.669 --> 00:09:36.529 of four goes on a road trip. They're going on 00:09:36.529 --> 00:09:38.450 a road trip from, I think, Pennsylvania all the 00:09:38.450 --> 00:09:41.639 way down to Miami, Florida. The dad of the group 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.519 is trying to get his job back. It's kind of a 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.080 whole thing. But his company that he was working 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.860 for is trying to sell a product that's actually 00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:54.200 really harmful to the masses. It's kind of weird, 00:09:54.259 --> 00:09:56.220 but it's actually a pretty funny show, I think. 00:09:56.940 --> 00:10:00.740 Let's check it out. Is it newer? I think it's 00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:06.600 from the mid -2010s. It's not new -new, but it's 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.600 fairly recent. I don't think I've ever heard 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.789 of that. Yeah, that's all I've been doing, though. 00:10:12.370 --> 00:10:16.110 All right, cool. Yeah, I've been doing a lot 00:10:16.110 --> 00:10:17.929 of reading, too. I finished The Kane Mutiny. 00:10:18.350 --> 00:10:21.690 That was an awesome book. I read that pretty 00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:22.929 quick. I think I got through that in like five 00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:26.110 or six days. How many pages is it? It's like 00:10:26.110 --> 00:10:29.450 almost 600, I think. Oh, wow. Yeah, I couldn't 00:10:29.450 --> 00:10:31.590 stop reading that book. It was good, dude. If 00:10:31.590 --> 00:10:34.509 you like just... I mean, it's a made -up story, 00:10:34.590 --> 00:10:37.210 but it's a World War II story about a mutiny 00:10:37.210 --> 00:10:40.600 on a mine -sweeping ship. I don't know. It was 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:44.740 pretty good. I liked it a lot. And then I started 00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:49.539 another book called The Last Mutiny. It's okay. 00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:51.860 It's starting off a little slow, but I think 00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:54.659 it's about a ship, another World War, not a World 00:10:54.659 --> 00:11:00.379 War II, but an aircraft carrier after the apocalypse, 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.379 like the atomic apocalypse happened or whatever. 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.980 Are they related? No, they don't have anything 00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:10.659 to do with each other. Oh, okay. I just, yeah, 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.779 I didn't even realize. Like, same Arthur or anything? 00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:18.840 No, no. Oh, okay. But I did realize after I started 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.320 reading it, I was like, huh, I'm doing a nonical 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.539 theme right now. I wasn't doing that on purpose. 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.600 Mutiny in general. Yeah. Well, then I read, you 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.679 know. That Moby Dick. Yeah, Moby Dick before 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.080 this, too. I didn't do that on purpose. I just 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.100 kind of. Oh, I did want to say something. So 00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:35.500 in Moby Dick, there's a character called Queequeeg. 00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:39.929 It's Q -U -E -E -Q -U -E -E -G. I guess he's 00:11:39.929 --> 00:11:42.250 like a Pacific Northern Islander kind of character. 00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:46.230 But in the Kane Mutiny, there's a captain called 00:11:46.230 --> 00:11:50.169 Captain Queeg. Q -U -E -E -G. And I was like, 00:11:50.210 --> 00:11:52.029 that has to be a direct reference. There's no 00:11:52.029 --> 00:11:57.149 way that name came up by chance. So I just thought 00:11:57.149 --> 00:11:58.990 that was... That's got to be a nod to... It has 00:11:58.990 --> 00:12:00.870 to be. I just thought it was weird that I read 00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:02.610 the book and then immediately after read a book 00:12:02.610 --> 00:12:06.620 with a reference directly to it. Yeah. Such an 00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:08.639 odd name. There's no way that name was thought 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:12.639 of by two different people. No way. I just thought 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.519 that was funny. Yeah, so this new book, The Last 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.120 Mutiny is okay. It's starting off a little slow, 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.980 but we'll see if it picks up. I'm not really 00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:22.600 sure where it's going to go. It hasn't really 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.600 made a direction. I'm not sure what it's going 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.139 to do, so we'll see how it goes. And then, that's 00:12:29.139 --> 00:12:31.139 really about it. The only other thing, I haven't 00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:32.460 been playing too many games, but I've been playing 00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:37.220 a on the PSP called Zenonia. It's okay. It's 00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:40.740 just a little simple RPG game. So it's a little 00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:44.860 grindy, but it's enjoyable so far. I don't think 00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:46.779 I've ever heard of it. Yeah, it's not a really 00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:48.580 big name game. I think it started out as like 00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:50.799 an Android thing and they ported it over to a 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.779 PSP, but it's fun. I've been playing it at work 00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:56.960 on lunch. That's what I do. Just sit down and 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.580 play some games. Yeah. All right. That's all 00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:03.580 I've got. What have you guys been doing out there? 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.539 What have you gamers been into recently? Let 00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:08.960 us know. We want to hear from you guys. All right. 00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:11.379 With all that said, it's now time to jump over 00:13:11.379 --> 00:14:14.769 to review for Megaverse. Welcome to VWBT. Welcome 00:14:14.769 --> 00:14:17.669 to Mega Race, the virtual world broadcast television 00:14:17.669 --> 00:14:20.190 experience that puts you in the driver's seat. 00:14:20.350 --> 00:14:24.309 And I'm your VWBT mega host, Lance Boyle.

You're going to need more than 00:14:45.110 --> 00:14:47.610 speed to beat this bunch. On behalf of the billions 00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:50.070 of viewers out there in TV land, good luck and 00:14:50.070 --> 00:14:52.370 keep a firm grip on the wheel. It's a whole lot 00:14:52.370 --> 00:14:54.730 better than real, baby. It's virtual television, 00:14:54.909 --> 00:15:07.860 reality's worst nightmare. Mega Race was developed 00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.919 by Cryo and published by the Software Toolworks 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:17.639 for the 3DO in 1993. I don't really have much 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.460 history or facts about this game. It seems like 00:15:19.460 --> 00:15:22.620 it was not too much to say about this game. I 00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:24.860 think it was a pretty early release for the 3DO. 00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:27.559 I think it was released within a couple of months 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.200 of the 3DO. I picked this game because, I don't 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.059 know, I've always been... like, fascinated by 00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:36.620 the 3DO because I remember, like, seeing it when 00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:39.299 it came out, but I've never seen one in person. 00:15:39.379 --> 00:15:41.240 I've never played any games for it, so I was 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.980 just curious to kind of jump into it and see 00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:46.779 what it offered. I own one now. I bought one 00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:48.279 recently. I just don't have any games for it, 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.019 so I want to get some and play it. Well, that's 00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:54.059 why I was going to ask you why you picked the 00:15:54.059 --> 00:15:58.320 3DO over the Sega CD version. Yeah, because this 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.360 was originally made for DOS, actually, and they 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.500 ported it over. But yeah, I think it was just 00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:06.720 because I wanted to play some 3DO stuff. Okay. 00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:10.720 I don't know if there was any reason. I don't 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.360 think there was any difference between all of 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.600 them. I think the 3DO has a little bit better 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.879 FMV quality than the Sega CD. I think from what 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.940 I read, the 3DO was the best version. Yeah, I 00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:22.320 think it actually looked better than the DOS 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.340 version, I think. Yeah. Yeah, that's why. Alright, 00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:30.559 were you guys able to complete this game? Yes. 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.889 Yeah, I did too. So we all completed this one? 00:16:34.830 --> 00:16:37.389 Yep. Nice, nice. Did you guys play through the 00:16:37.389 --> 00:16:41.429 second time on the harder difficulty? I haven't 00:16:41.429 --> 00:16:44.289 made it through yet, but yeah, I started. I got 00:16:44.289 --> 00:16:47.190 about halfway through. I just beat it before 00:16:47.190 --> 00:16:57.970 we record. Nice, nice. Yeah, I did too. So this 00:16:57.970 --> 00:17:02.289 game is a... I guess it's vehicular combat game. 00:17:02.750 --> 00:17:06.690 Um, you play as the enforcer who is a contestant 00:17:06.690 --> 00:17:10.490 on a virtual game show and you have to, uh, you're 00:17:10.490 --> 00:17:13.410 basically battling other racers to try and blow 00:17:13.410 --> 00:17:15.170 them up. Cause I guess they're like degenerates 00:17:15.170 --> 00:17:18.809 of the, of the, um, like gang leaders. Yeah. 00:17:18.809 --> 00:17:21.609 I was like the futuristic scum of the earth, 00:17:21.750 --> 00:17:24.690 futuristic cities or whatever. The thing was 00:17:24.690 --> 00:17:26.529 though, is he kept saying it was like, not really. 00:17:26.549 --> 00:17:28.930 It's like, it's not reality. It's virtual. And 00:17:28.930 --> 00:17:31.380 I'm like, is it really or are they just saying 00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:32.900 that to make you feel better i couldn't tell 00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:36.779 if it was like a something like that but yeah 00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:39.240 so basically you you're racing down a track but 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.359 it's like an fmv track so you don't really have 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.539 like full control over the car um so basically 00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:46.460 the track is like playing in front of you and 00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:48.640 you can kind of speed up and slow down but you 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.079 have to uh you can either blow up the cars by 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.859 shooting at them or if you get far enough ahead 00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:56.880 of them they'll blow up as you uh get past them 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:58.920 And you just want to get through all the cars 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:02.680 before you finish all the laps. So it just, like, 00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:05.279 gives you six laps? Yeah, five or six laps, something 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.319 like that, yeah. And then if you don't have all 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:08.920 the cars by the time you get to the end of that, 00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:11.000 then, you know, the race is over and you have 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.380 to start over, so. And then on the track, you 00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:16.640 have, like, a ton of pickups. There's, like, 00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:20.279 speed up, slow downs. There's, like, energies. 00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:24.099 There's, like, missile pickups. which only some 00:18:24.099 --> 00:18:25.799 of the cars can carry missile pickup. So there's 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.339 like eight different cars and some of them have 00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:30.000 different abilities. And one of the things is 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.099 like, I think only two of the cars can have missiles, 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.039 which was, yeah, I think it was only two of them, 00:18:34.059 --> 00:18:36.160 which was, I thought was weird, but otherwise 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.460 you just got lasers to shoot at them. And that 00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:41.980 was kind of one of the, which is weird for on 00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:44.680 hard difficulty because that's mandatory basically. 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.559 Yeah. To win the harder ones, you've got to use 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.289 missiles. Yeah. It's tough. i was gonna say that's 00:18:51.289 --> 00:18:53.170 one of the things so your car has like an energy 00:18:53.170 --> 00:18:55.829 and every time you shoot a laser it like uses 00:18:55.829 --> 00:18:58.069 up your energy and you will go through that so 00:18:58.069 --> 00:19:00.450 fast when i first started playing this game i 00:19:00.450 --> 00:19:02.049 kept losing the second race because i kept running 00:19:02.049 --> 00:19:04.269 out of energy and there's no energy pickups you 00:19:04.269 --> 00:19:06.309 have to be like super accurate i know it's like 00:19:06.309 --> 00:19:07.849 how the fuck do i win this i don't understand 00:19:07.849 --> 00:19:12.369 but so it's weird for me because the first gameplay 00:19:12.369 --> 00:19:16.500 on the normal difficulty One of the main mechanics 00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:18.980 for playing the game was passing them, because 00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:22.380 after you pass them at a certain amount of distance, 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.299 they will blow up. But on the hard difficulty, 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:28.720 it doesn't work that way. Yeah, it's a lot harder. 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.039 It's like a whole different mechanic and a different 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.220 way of playing the game, which at first I was 00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:35.339 like, what the hell? But, I mean, it kind of, 00:19:35.339 --> 00:19:38.220 I guess it made me appreciate, you know, the 00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:40.819 different gameplay style, I guess. Yeah, it was 00:19:40.819 --> 00:19:42.880 cool that it actually changed it up a little 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.990 bit. yeah and then the other thing too when the 00:19:44.990 --> 00:19:48.009 hardened difficulty is they add way more like 00:19:48.009 --> 00:19:50.049 detrimental stuff to the track so you've got 00:19:50.049 --> 00:19:52.730 to learn to like steer back and forth a lot so 00:19:52.730 --> 00:19:56.490 and then so like i said for so the for the controls 00:19:56.490 --> 00:20:00.029 um you don't have like super control of the car 00:20:00.029 --> 00:20:01.809 you can really only go left or right and slow 00:20:01.809 --> 00:20:05.210 down and and speed up a bit like i said because 00:20:05.210 --> 00:20:07.710 the the track itself is actually an fmv that's 00:20:07.710 --> 00:20:10.569 just playing uh in the background and you have 00:20:10.569 --> 00:20:13.579 to um you know move back and forth but i mean 00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:16.640 the car the cars control okay you know like if 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.359 you i feel like some handled better than the 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.339 others yeah they did yeah but you just had to 00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:23.319 learn how to like drift around corners and stuff 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:24.579 and everything because if you're up and against 00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:26.480 the wall too much that'll do damage to your car 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:31.220 too um which yeah you have a damage meter a speed 00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:34.559 meter and an energy meter yeah and in the thrill 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.319 meter which does that even do anything i don't 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:42.019 think it does anything I did like how each car 00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:44.420 had their own layout. Like the HUD changed for 00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:45.579 each car. Yeah, dude. That was pretty sweet. 00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:48.339 That was awesome. Yeah, that was cool. I liked 00:20:48.339 --> 00:20:51.079 that. Although the HUDs were insanely difficult 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.960 to understand. Yeah, some of them didn't make 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.559 any sense. Yeah. Well, then again, they were 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.900 all different. So some had missiles, and then 00:20:57.900 --> 00:20:59.759 some of the cars had an early warning system 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:01.900 that was basically just like a radar that would 00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:03.720 show you what was coming in front of you. But 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.160 not all of them had that. Some of them had that 00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.619 lock -on thing, the reticle or whatever. Mm -hmm. 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.019 I don't know how that works. I'm curious. What 00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:16.380 vehicle did you guys use the most? The Maria. 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:21.339 I like Maria. Okay. The white one. I used Ausbell, 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.279 I think is the name. What color was that? The 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:27.220 one with the two jets on the back. Yeah, okay. 00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:30.460 Yeah, I used the white one the most. Yeah, the 00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:32.400 Maria. I like the Maria. Yeah, that one's really 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:35.420 good. It was just cool looking. I like the one 00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:37.500 because it looked like a Hot Wheels car. Yeah, 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:39.609 I know. Yeah, that one was cool too. Yeah, I 00:21:39.609 --> 00:21:40.710 mean, all the cars are actually pretty cool. 00:21:40.750 --> 00:21:43.509 I like the design of them and stuff. Is Jacob 00:21:43.509 --> 00:21:47.390 here? I'm here. Okay. He's just listening. Which 00:21:47.390 --> 00:21:50.049 car did you use? Whichever one's all the way 00:21:50.049 --> 00:21:52.230 in the top left. Just the orange? Oh, the first 00:21:52.230 --> 00:21:54.410 one. Oh, you just used the base car the whole 00:21:54.410 --> 00:21:57.190 time? Well, for my first playthrough, yeah. After 00:21:57.190 --> 00:21:59.109 that, I did use some of the other cars, but I 00:21:59.109 --> 00:22:00.690 don't know. I just kind of stick to it. Okay. 00:22:01.009 --> 00:22:02.829 I mean, that doesn't really seem to make too 00:22:02.829 --> 00:22:04.529 much of a difference, honestly. No, it's not 00:22:04.529 --> 00:22:06.849 too much, no. The biggest thing is just the missiles 00:22:06.849 --> 00:22:10.750 for the Harden. difficulty later but so one of 00:22:10.750 --> 00:22:13.269 the big things about this game is this is around 00:22:13.269 --> 00:22:16.130 the time when cd technology came out and fmvs 00:22:16.130 --> 00:22:20.130 were all the fucking rage so i feel like more 00:22:20.130 --> 00:22:23.390 of this game is actually fmv than gameplay yeah 00:22:23.390 --> 00:22:26.529 um it's it's a lot it's funny that you mentioned 00:22:26.529 --> 00:22:29.349 that because the gameplay has an fmv so right 00:22:29.349 --> 00:22:33.049 yeah yeah but there's this there's a character 00:22:33.049 --> 00:22:37.210 called uh lance boyle uh which lol you get that 00:22:37.529 --> 00:22:41.849 And then it's just him like hosting this show 00:22:41.849 --> 00:22:43.589 and like talking about how you're going to blow 00:22:43.589 --> 00:22:46.630 up and all this stuff and everything, which I 00:22:46.630 --> 00:22:48.109 don't know why that was a thing in the 90s to 00:22:48.109 --> 00:22:51.970 have a host just berate you. I can think of like 00:22:51.970 --> 00:22:54.990 five other games like that. I don't know why 00:22:54.990 --> 00:22:58.930 that was a thing. I guess people were not too 00:22:58.930 --> 00:23:01.460 happy with themselves. I don't know, but. so 00:23:01.460 --> 00:23:02.799 yeah there's a lot of cut scenes i mean they're 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:04.700 fine you know they're kind of they're a little 00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:09.119 cringy uh i think but they're not awful i i couldn't 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:11.740 get into them they were way too fleshed out yeah 00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:13.880 they were just dragged out they took forever 00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.980 yeah they could have cut some of them one of 00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:17.180 the things i would have liked to seen is like 00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:19.279 more characters you know how you were like racing 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.799 against gangs it would have been cool if the 00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.839 gang leaders like taunted you a little bit too 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.079 you know almost like what was that game on the 00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:28.289 uh mute rampage Yeah, Mutant Rampage. Yeah, yeah. 00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:30.410 If they did something like that, that would be 00:23:30.410 --> 00:23:32.029 cool. Yeah, they should have done some more of 00:23:32.029 --> 00:23:33.289 that. But, I mean, you know, I'm sure they didn't 00:23:33.289 --> 00:23:35.609 have the money for all that stuff, but that would 00:23:35.609 --> 00:23:37.569 have been cool to see. They could have gotten 00:23:37.569 --> 00:23:40.410 MS Paint and started. Yeah, just making noises 00:23:40.410 --> 00:23:42.809 in the background. I think one cool thing about 00:23:42.809 --> 00:23:45.430 the FMVs is that there's a lot of different camera 00:23:45.430 --> 00:23:48.150 angles that they show you. Yeah, they do a lot 00:23:48.150 --> 00:23:51.109 of jump cuts. There's a few different, like, 00:23:51.130 --> 00:23:54.690 city levels in this game, and they show, like, 00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:57.299 like camera shots throughout the different parts 00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:58.759 of the city which i thought was pretty cool i 00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:00.420 thought it was kind of immersive and then they 00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:03.200 would have like the cg like city and then it 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:04.819 would have the video and like a billboard in 00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:06.119 the background or something that was cool too 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.000 yeah yeah and then you can like preview the track 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.140 before you race on it yeah it too is cool yeah 00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:13.119 which is cool I would say that was one of the 00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.079 complaints of this game, is that there's so many 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.019 cutscenes, and then the gameplay itself, like, 00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:19.180 every track you can beat in under, like, two 00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:22.400 minutes, so. Yeah. You're watching a movie for, 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:23.799 like, five minutes, and then you get to play 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.740 for two, and then it's back to five minutes of 00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:28.519 cutscenes and stuff, so. Not to mention, some 00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:30.920 of the cutscenes are, like, repeated, so. Yeah, 00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:32.579 it does. I was just about to say, usually when 00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:35.259 you beat a level, like, one, maybe two cutscenes 00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:37.500 are unique for that, and then the rest are just 00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:40.740 repeated. Yeah, yeah. Which gets really annoying 00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:44.240 fast. Yeah, a little bit. I fast -forwarded almost 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:47.359 instantly. I mean, you can skip everything, which 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:51.039 is nice. Yeah. That's actually kind of a big 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.740 deal, because not a lot of games let you skip 00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:55.619 stuff back then. Dude. Could you imagine if you 00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:58.059 couldn't skip any of those? Yeah. Without fast 00:24:58.059 --> 00:25:02.720 -forward. Yeah, yeah. Try playing Parasite Eve. 00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:04.859 Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. Oh, my 00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:08.500 God, dude. But, so, if you... If you fail, like, 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:10.980 basically, if you don't blow everybody up before 00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:13.400 the end of the race, you fail. But you can actually 00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.279 save after every race, which is nice, and then 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:17.539 just reload. So you basically have, like, unlimited 00:25:17.539 --> 00:25:20.519 chances, basically. And then they also have a 00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.099 thing where there was a bonus track where you 00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:25.059 basically race backwards. I don't know if you're 00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:27.380 backwards, but there's cars coming at you and 00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:29.599 everything, and you have to avoid them. It's 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:31.200 like traffic you have to avoid, yeah. Yeah, and 00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:32.759 if you hit them, you blow up. But it's just, 00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:35.589 like, a points -based... thing you're not actually 00:25:35.589 --> 00:25:37.650 racing anybody and then they had this thing which 00:25:37.650 --> 00:25:39.289 is pretty cool they had a second chance race 00:25:39.289 --> 00:25:41.789 so basically if you get if you do pretty good 00:25:41.789 --> 00:25:44.109 for a while and then like mess up one race like 00:25:44.109 --> 00:25:46.309 if you get second in one race you can actually 00:25:46.309 --> 00:25:49.210 go to a another track that's only for this it's 00:25:49.210 --> 00:25:51.930 called the tokyo track and then if you win that 00:25:51.930 --> 00:25:53.630 then you can get back in the race which i thought 00:25:53.630 --> 00:25:55.829 was uh which is pretty cool little extra thing 00:25:55.829 --> 00:25:58.730 they had in there so after you win the races 00:25:58.730 --> 00:26:03.430 you get like a a terrible prize Yeah, that's 00:26:03.430 --> 00:26:08.269 true. Some of them were very weird. Like a Russian 00:26:08.269 --> 00:26:11.950 translator or something. A Scottish accent. Yeah, 00:26:11.950 --> 00:26:14.349 a Scottish accent. Dude, it was so weird. A dolphin 00:26:14.349 --> 00:26:20.950 dentist. A scientist. And they're creepy. They're 00:26:20.950 --> 00:26:23.910 creepy looking. Like a brain in a jar and then 00:26:23.910 --> 00:26:27.569 the accent one was a mouth with lips like the 00:26:27.569 --> 00:26:30.710 tongue flapping. I was like, dude, what is this? 00:26:30.849 --> 00:26:34.130 It was so weird. Yeah, those were weird. And 00:26:34.130 --> 00:26:36.329 then, you do also, like, start out with three 00:26:36.329 --> 00:26:38.150 cars, and then after every race, you do get to 00:26:38.150 --> 00:26:42.190 unlock new cars as well, so. So you do actually 00:26:42.190 --> 00:26:44.809 get something useful. I'm surprised there wasn't, 00:26:44.809 --> 00:26:49.309 like, one more hidden car, like, after you beat 00:26:49.309 --> 00:26:50.849 the game on hard or something. True, yeah, they 00:26:50.849 --> 00:26:53.109 gave you one extra one or something. I wish there 00:26:53.109 --> 00:26:55.670 was, like, one more. Like a super special car 00:26:55.670 --> 00:26:57.150 or something. Yeah, like a secret or something. 00:26:57.269 --> 00:26:58.829 Like an ice cream truck. Yeah, yeah, something 00:26:58.829 --> 00:27:01.430 cool. That'd be funny. Futuristic ice cream truck. 00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:05.180 Pretty funny. One thing I didn't like about the 00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:07.579 graphics of this game is that some of the item 00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:10.619 pickups on the track, you know, the stuff that's 00:27:10.619 --> 00:27:12.500 on the track, like the speed up item pickups 00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:14.980 and the slowdowns. I think if I remember correctly, 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.240 the icon that gives you more laser energy and 00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:21.200 the icon that speeds you up are both white. And 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.740 it's kind of confusing. It's like, can you not 00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:25.779 make these two different colors? Yeah. And they're 00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:29.019 actually, those shapes look so similar. Yeah, 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.000 they're not easy to read either when they're 00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.200 coming up. And then even some of them were blue 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:39.019 with the raceway that's blue too. One of the 00:27:39.019 --> 00:27:42.119 levels was extremely hard to see. And I'm sure 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:43.880 that was done on purpose. Yeah, I'm sure that's 00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.480 on purpose. Probably. But they could have done 00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:50.079 better with the shapes. Plus, they're also tiny. 00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:52.660 They could have just made them bigger. And they 00:27:52.660 --> 00:27:54.319 come up really fast. Yeah, I was going to say, 00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:56.410 that's one of the... things that was a pain in 00:27:56.410 --> 00:27:58.130 this game is trying to actually hit those things 00:27:58.130 --> 00:28:01.089 is really tough yeah the hitboxes the detection 00:28:01.089 --> 00:28:04.609 is very yeah and then they're always like around 00:28:04.609 --> 00:28:06.329 a curve and stuff so you kind of have to you 00:28:06.329 --> 00:28:08.630 kind of have to learn the track just like i mean 00:28:08.630 --> 00:28:11.390 i learned just to just slow down basically and 00:28:11.390 --> 00:28:13.509 get the power up and then just speed up true 00:28:13.509 --> 00:28:16.190 yeah yeah it just makes it easier when you're 00:28:16.190 --> 00:28:17.970 playing the hard mode and you and you basically 00:28:17.970 --> 00:28:19.710 have to get the missiles to win yeah you have 00:28:19.710 --> 00:28:21.849 to get that yeah yeah trying to trying to hit 00:28:21.849 --> 00:28:23.490 those every time was a pain in the butt getting 00:28:23.490 --> 00:28:26.990 those missiles Like I said, the biggest challenge 00:28:26.990 --> 00:28:29.930 to this game is dealing with your energy. Like, 00:28:29.930 --> 00:28:33.210 you run out of energy so fast. And if you do 00:28:33.210 --> 00:28:35.309 that, especially in the hard one, it's basically 00:28:35.309 --> 00:28:37.349 impossible to win at that point. You have to 00:28:37.349 --> 00:28:40.210 conserve it and find exactly where those energy 00:28:40.210 --> 00:28:42.069 pads are, otherwise you're not going to win the 00:28:42.069 --> 00:28:44.369 game. Especially in the later levels, too. It's 00:28:44.369 --> 00:28:48.029 filled with the pickups that drain your energy. 00:28:48.029 --> 00:28:49.990 Yeah, they can drain your energy. Oh, dude, they're 00:28:49.990 --> 00:28:52.589 everywhere in the later levels. They, like, spin 00:28:52.589 --> 00:28:55.869 you out. shoot you to the left or right oh my 00:28:55.869 --> 00:28:57.750 god and then they're all over the place some 00:28:57.750 --> 00:29:01.329 of those fucks your whole screen up that was 00:29:01.329 --> 00:29:04.130 like drunk driving that was an awesome effect 00:29:04.130 --> 00:29:06.109 that was really cool yeah it was it would do 00:29:06.109 --> 00:29:08.210 like a double image and they were like they would 00:29:08.210 --> 00:29:10.309 like wave back and forth on top of each other 00:29:10.309 --> 00:29:12.890 that was really I really liked that that was 00:29:12.890 --> 00:29:15.069 really impressive it was a pain in the ass but 00:29:15.069 --> 00:29:17.990 it was pretty cool yeah it wasn't too bad I mean 00:29:17.990 --> 00:29:19.849 I just thought it was a cool effect it doesn't 00:29:19.849 --> 00:29:22.289 last that long anyway it's not hard to like drive 00:29:22.289 --> 00:29:25.160 with but trying to like, get the pickups and 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:27.359 stuff, that's what messes you up. Yeah, yeah. 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:29.880 But usually they would have it just, like, on 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.259 a straight line, and it doesn't really do much. 00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:36.500 Another thing is, like we said, you have a damage 00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:41.380 bar, and if... On normal mode, it's not too bad, 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:43.980 but if you get in front of those guys... Oh, 00:29:44.019 --> 00:29:46.500 dude, they'll destroy you. They shoot you. Yeah. 00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.819 But on the hardened difficulty, man, they... 00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:53.119 It's hard to get them back in front of you. It's 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.299 kind of funny. It's a racing game that you don't 00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:58.180 want to pass anybody in. Yeah, you don't want 00:29:58.180 --> 00:30:00.720 to pass them. Yeah, it's kind of weird. On hard. 00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:04.839 Yeah. I would say even on normal. I don't know. 00:30:05.500 --> 00:30:08.299 So I thought in this game. If you can pass them 00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:10.779 fast enough. Yeah. Well, yeah, but I'm saying 00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:14.279 if you don't get far enough. Because I thought 00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.059 in this game if you can smack into them and do 00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:19.549 damage or smack them into the wall. That's what 00:30:19.549 --> 00:30:22.269 the manual says. But it doesn't do anything, 00:30:22.470 --> 00:30:24.049 though. But when you're in front of them and 00:30:24.049 --> 00:30:26.130 they smack into you, it, like, breaks the game 00:30:26.130 --> 00:30:27.990 and you get stuck between them and the wall and 00:30:27.990 --> 00:30:30.609 then you just die instantly. It's weird because 00:30:30.609 --> 00:30:33.930 you have to hit them from behind, but at, like... 00:30:33.930 --> 00:30:38.329 It's such a weird mechanic because if you're 00:30:38.329 --> 00:30:40.170 too close to the wall, then you start taking 00:30:40.170 --> 00:30:42.910 damage. Yeah. But if you're, like, behind them, 00:30:42.970 --> 00:30:45.430 it makes, like, a certain noise and then you 00:30:45.430 --> 00:30:48.829 start doing a ton of damage to them. Okay. It's 00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:52.750 weird. It's really hard to pull off. Yeah, it's 00:30:52.750 --> 00:30:57.549 strange. Also, if you're far enough away from 00:30:57.549 --> 00:31:00.970 them and you get a speed boost, if you hit them 00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:04.150 at full speed or something, you'll blow them 00:31:04.150 --> 00:31:09.069 up. Which, again, is also hard to pull off. But 00:31:09.069 --> 00:31:10.650 I kind of do like that because it reminds me 00:31:10.650 --> 00:31:14.250 of the death from above from Destruction Derby. 00:31:15.589 --> 00:31:18.039 That game needs to go on the list. Oh, yeah. 00:31:18.140 --> 00:31:20.279 I think it is, isn't it? I don't remember. It 00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:22.640 doesn't matter. Anyway, does anybody have anything 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:24.460 else? I can't really think of much else for this 00:31:24.460 --> 00:31:25.880 game. There's not really too much to this game. 00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:27.480 It's a pretty simple game. Like I said, I think 00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:31.500 the main focus of this game was the FMVs. Yeah, 00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:34.559 just showcasing that. I'm sure that's where most 00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:45.079 of the money went to. Alright, well, speaking 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:46.619 of that, so let's go ahead and jump over to the 00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:49.380 graphics here. The 3DO is actually pretty impressive 00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:52.900 with its cutscene quality. They actually look 00:31:52.900 --> 00:31:54.559 pretty good. It didn't seem like they had a ton 00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:57.140 of compression. I don't know. It seemed like 00:31:57.140 --> 00:31:58.660 the video actually flowed pretty good on there. 00:31:59.579 --> 00:32:04.079 Yeah, I agree. It wasn't... It didn't look horrible. 00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:08.339 I mean, again, it's old. It's not HD, yeah, but... 00:32:08.339 --> 00:32:11.859 No, no. But it did look good. You might have 00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:14.519 a different opinion. I don't really like FMVs. 00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:19.319 I mean, I don't hate them. I'm just saying for 00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.079 quality -wise, they looked pretty good for a 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:26.059 home console. Yeah, I agree. Compared to the 00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:29.779 PS1 or the Sega Saturn or even the Sega CD, the 00:32:29.779 --> 00:32:32.359 3DO actually seems like that was one thing it 00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:35.140 excelled at really, really well. I think the 00:32:35.140 --> 00:32:37.619 number one thing that's going to date these FMVs 00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:42.740 is that they use really early 90s like 3d cgi 00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:46.180 so it's something that you're gonna notice immediately 00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:50.359 yeah which uh yeah i mean the cg was was obviously 00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.200 like blocky you know that early 90s look but 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:54.920 and then that was the thing too like with the 00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:56.859 tracks and stuff like they were cool but they 00:32:56.859 --> 00:33:00.279 were very like i don't know esoteric there really 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.299 wasn't like a like the backgrounds didn't really 00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:04.940 look like anything you know what i mean it just 00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:08.819 kind of shapes like in a little space kind of 00:33:08.819 --> 00:33:11.230 thing you know yeah they were kind of weird dude 00:33:11.230 --> 00:33:16.210 but i mean again it is 90s virtual yeah so yeah 00:33:16.210 --> 00:33:19.049 i guess that's true they were like virtual tracks 00:33:19.049 --> 00:33:22.069 yeah i did like the cars though the cars all 00:33:22.069 --> 00:33:24.109 had like cool designs and and look pretty cool 00:33:24.109 --> 00:33:26.630 which i think the cars were sprites i think they 00:33:26.630 --> 00:33:29.430 look like sprites yeah but i mean i never had 00:33:29.430 --> 00:33:31.809 a problem with the game slowing down or anything 00:33:31.809 --> 00:33:34.970 no i never had any slowdown pretty good i think 00:33:34.970 --> 00:33:38.519 there was one level i had a Not a problem, but 00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:41.079 it slowed down a little bit. The one in space. 00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:45.740 Yeah. I think that was the only one. Yeah. But 00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:48.200 it was still playable. It wasn't bad, but I can 00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.619 notice it slowed down a little bit. Yeah, yeah. 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.980 The game ran good, yeah. Yeah, they really had 00:33:53.980 --> 00:33:56.559 a problem with it. Usually, some of those old 00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:59.640 games, they try to push the limit a little bit. 00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:03.099 Yeah. I had some odd glitches, but again, I don't 00:34:03.099 --> 00:34:09.980 know if that's... But they weren't anything major. 00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:12.519 I think one time the map disappeared after I 00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.679 died or something. I didn't get any of that stuff. 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:21.900 One time I was doing one of the races and I killed 00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:24.559 a dude and then I blew up immediately at the 00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.900 same time. And I said I won, but then it just 00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:34.550 took me to the lost screen. Yeah, because it 00:34:34.550 --> 00:34:36.190 did sit there for a second. That's pretty funny. 00:34:37.590 --> 00:34:39.730 Yeah, I mean, for the first 3DO game I played, 00:34:39.769 --> 00:34:41.750 I was pretty impressed with the quality of it. 00:34:42.269 --> 00:34:44.449 Yeah, yeah. It actually does look pretty decent. 00:34:46.150 --> 00:34:50.750 I would say similar to the Sega CD. Yeah, I would 00:34:50.750 --> 00:35:00.170 say it was better. Alright, let's jump over to 00:35:00.170 --> 00:35:03.820 the music then. This was the one thing that I... 00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:05.920 So I don't know if you guys even noticed this, 00:35:06.019 --> 00:35:08.380 but you actually had to turn the music on. Did 00:35:08.380 --> 00:35:11.159 you guys turn the music on? Okay. Yeah. I did 00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:13.199 once and then it turned off and I never turned 00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.900 it back on again. I read they did this. So there's 00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:18.019 a menu option. The game starts out with just 00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:20.820 sounds and you'll just have like the weapon sounds 00:35:20.820 --> 00:35:23.739 and engine sounds. And then you can change it 00:35:23.739 --> 00:35:25.880 to turn on the music and then there won't be 00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:27.679 any more engine sound. It'll be music and then 00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.030 the weapon sounds. And I read they did that because 00:35:30.030 --> 00:35:32.110 of some weird glitch with the music. I don't 00:35:32.110 --> 00:35:35.389 know. I heard there was like different sound 00:35:35.389 --> 00:35:38.329 chips or something. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not 00:35:38.329 --> 00:35:40.429 100 % sure what happened. And I think that was 00:35:40.429 --> 00:35:42.469 because of, well, I don't know if that was because 00:35:42.469 --> 00:35:45.050 of the DOS or what. Yeah, I think there was like 00:35:45.050 --> 00:35:47.969 different sound chips or something and one couldn't 00:35:47.969 --> 00:35:50.590 do both. I don't know. I'm not sure what it was. 00:35:50.730 --> 00:35:53.489 Yeah, it was weird. That's just a kind of weird 00:35:53.489 --> 00:35:54.989 thing. So a lot of people probably played this 00:35:54.989 --> 00:35:56.530 game and didn't even realize there was music. 00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:01.739 To me, honestly, I didn't really feel like I 00:36:01.739 --> 00:36:05.260 needed it. Yeah. No, it wasn't really necessary. 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:07.639 The sound effects were pretty good. They kept 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:09.820 you pretty interested in stuff. I actually enjoyed 00:36:09.820 --> 00:36:13.460 them. Yeah. I was going to say, the music, I 00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:15.460 like the music, and I don't know if it was the 00:36:15.460 --> 00:36:18.179 3DO or not, but it sounds really compressed. 00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:20.800 It has a really weird compression over the music. 00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:23.579 Like, it's good. I like the soundtrack. It's 00:36:23.579 --> 00:36:26.460 like a nice Eurobeat kind of music, like techno 00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:28.940 stuff. But it just has a weird compression to 00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:31.000 it. I don't know. It sounds weird. It doesn't 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.320 have a really big punch to it. I can't explain 00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:36.440 it. I'm sure it was to save space, probably. 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:38.659 I don't know. I don't know if that's just how 00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:41.980 the 3DO sounds. Because the cutscenes kind of 00:36:41.980 --> 00:36:45.159 had a weird compression to them, too. So I don't 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:48.820 know if that's just how the 3DO sounds. The cutscenes 00:36:48.820 --> 00:36:53.480 were static -y, I guess. They had a weird feedback. 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.289 They had a muted sound to them. Yeah. It's really, 00:36:57.369 --> 00:36:59.670 really odd. Like I said, I don't know if that's 00:36:59.670 --> 00:37:01.050 just emulation. I don't know if that's just what 00:37:01.050 --> 00:37:02.489 this 3DO sounds like. I don't know if that's 00:37:02.489 --> 00:37:04.010 just what this game sounds like. I don't know. 00:37:04.630 --> 00:37:08.010 We'll have to play more 3DO games and find out. 00:37:08.590 --> 00:37:11.489 Yeah. See if you can maybe download that music 00:37:11.489 --> 00:37:13.449 from somewhere. Well, I did. I went online and 00:37:13.449 --> 00:37:16.329 I listened to the soundtrack and it sounds like 00:37:16.329 --> 00:37:18.989 that. Well, I'm sure that's just how it is then. 00:37:19.190 --> 00:37:21.469 Yeah, it's weird. Like I said, though, it is 00:37:21.469 --> 00:37:25.039 cool songs. I like the songs. The card selection, 00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.599 that's a good song. Yeah, it's good, yeah. It's 00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:31.780 pretty upbeat, pretty heavy. It fits with the 00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:35.539 battling of the races and stuff. Yeah, yeah. 00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:38.039 I think it fits the game pretty well. The music 00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:40.699 has a kind of chiptune sound to it. I don't know 00:37:40.699 --> 00:37:42.659 if it's like compression or if that's actually 00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:45.000 how it's supposed to sound, but I think that's 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.119 a little weird because this is CD -based. This 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:51.079 is CD -based games. A lot of CD -based games 00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.099 weren't doing that. They were actually having 00:37:53.099 --> 00:37:56.900 MP3 files or whatever kind of music files to 00:37:56.900 --> 00:38:01.019 play pre -recorded music. I just found that kind 00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:03.119 of interesting. Yeah, they went full electronic, 00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:06.039 which was weird. You'd think they'd be rocking 00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:10.340 guitars and drums and stuff for this game. The 00:38:10.340 --> 00:38:13.380 music's kind of laid back. It has some energy, 00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.860 but for the most part, it's just in the background. 00:38:17.150 --> 00:38:19.570 Well, then they also had the DOS version had 00:38:19.570 --> 00:38:22.489 completely different music in it. Right. I think 00:38:22.489 --> 00:38:25.670 the 3DO was unique. I think the Sega CD used 00:38:25.670 --> 00:38:35.829 the DOS music, I think. The only other thing 00:38:35.829 --> 00:38:38.250 I want to mention is why the fuck does the name 00:38:38.250 --> 00:38:41.809 entry bounce like that? It was so hard to pick 00:38:41.809 --> 00:38:47.219 a fucking letter. I never tried it. I don't know, 00:38:47.219 --> 00:38:50.199 dude. It was such an odd design choice. It just 00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:52.440 keeps bouncing while you're trying to go through 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.260 it. And you're like, stop fucking bouncing so 00:38:54.260 --> 00:38:57.960 I can read what I'm doing. It's very weird. I 00:38:57.960 --> 00:38:59.619 don't know. I don't know about you guys. I like 00:38:59.619 --> 00:39:01.920 the commentary. Yeah, I didn't mind the guy. 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:05.599 It was fine, yeah. It was a little, you know, 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:09.300 90s. It was a little cringey. It was, but I liked 00:39:09.300 --> 00:39:11.219 it. It's not the worst thing I've ever seen. 00:39:11.380 --> 00:39:13.900 I think it was pretty entertaining. I mean... 00:39:13.900 --> 00:39:17.519 Yeah. I couldn't get behind it. Yeah, me either. 00:39:17.739 --> 00:39:20.820 I thought it was pretty funny as... I mean, if 00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:24.880 you take it as like a... I don't know, dry humor, 00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:27.840 I guess. I don't know. I like when he had the 00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:29.800 glasses on and went, have a nice death, baby. 00:39:30.340 --> 00:39:33.579 Yeah. He says, cars are people too. Yeah, that 00:39:33.579 --> 00:39:37.829 was funny too. Because cars are people too. Yeah, 00:39:37.829 --> 00:39:39.650 that was funny. But it's just funny. It was very, 00:39:39.809 --> 00:39:44.710 you just live in like this bland, boring dystopia. 00:39:44.829 --> 00:39:47.650 Yeah. And he's like, oh, you should be happy 00:39:47.650 --> 00:39:51.269 about that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then your final 00:39:51.269 --> 00:39:54.090 prize is you get an evening or a night out by 00:39:54.090 --> 00:39:56.889 yourself. Yeah, or car cars. All expenses paid 00:39:56.889 --> 00:40:00.050 by you. Yeah, yeah. Stuff like that, yeah. I 00:40:00.050 --> 00:40:02.469 don't know. It was stupid. It's stupid humor, 00:40:02.610 --> 00:40:05.190 but I thought it was interesting. I thought it 00:40:05.190 --> 00:40:14.949 was pretty funny. I agree. So let's go ahead 00:40:14.949 --> 00:40:18.329 and talk about them Chivos. So we had, this game 00:40:18.329 --> 00:40:22.469 had 60 achievements worth 420 points, which is 00:40:22.469 --> 00:40:26.690 pretty good for the game. Did you guys master 00:40:26.690 --> 00:40:32.050 this game? Not quite yet. Yeah, I did. I got 00:40:32.050 --> 00:40:33.670 through it. I actually went through this game 00:40:33.670 --> 00:40:37.579 pretty quickly. Yeah, you did. Two days? Yeah, 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:39.960 I think over one weekend I plowed through it. 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:43.119 I only got three more left. Yeah, the achievements 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.619 really aren't that hard. You just have to beat 00:40:44.619 --> 00:40:46.260 the game on the easy and then the hard difficulty. 00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:50.400 That's three quarters of it right there. Yeah, 00:40:50.420 --> 00:40:52.340 and then you just gotta get all the silly unlocks 00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:55.500 like the night out by yourself and all that stuff. 00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.260 I think all that's random. Yeah, I was getting 00:40:59.260 --> 00:41:01.340 scared because I wasn't getting that one. Yeah, 00:41:01.420 --> 00:41:04.230 I think one of them I think the Car seat one, 00:41:04.329 --> 00:41:05.849 you don't get until you beat the game on Hard 00:41:05.849 --> 00:41:10.250 and Difficulty, I think. I think. I think I got 00:41:10.250 --> 00:41:12.809 that one. It wasn't beat the game, but it was 00:41:12.809 --> 00:41:14.650 towards the end. But the night out to myself, 00:41:14.769 --> 00:41:16.170 I was getting scared because I wasn't getting 00:41:16.170 --> 00:41:17.809 that one. I think that was the first one I got. 00:41:18.510 --> 00:41:21.150 I didn't get it until I beat the second to last 00:41:21.150 --> 00:41:22.769 level. I thought you got that for beating the 00:41:22.769 --> 00:41:26.670 game because that's when I got mine. Yeah, but 00:41:26.670 --> 00:41:30.710 they're all random. They are, yeah. So then there's 00:41:30.710 --> 00:41:32.760 that, and then there was like... For me, the 00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:36.539 toughest one was that fucking track one. So this 00:41:36.539 --> 00:41:38.860 achievement's actually wrong. It says on the 00:41:38.860 --> 00:41:40.860 bonus track you have to survive three laps. It's 00:41:40.860 --> 00:41:43.500 only two. Yeah, it doesn't even go to three laps. 00:41:43.579 --> 00:41:47.059 It stops after two. Dang, bro, I did one. Yeah, 00:41:47.179 --> 00:41:50.980 you gotta do two. So does the game say that you 00:41:50.980 --> 00:41:53.480 made it to the third lap? Because this game's 00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:56.420 weird. I'm guessing so. It's only two laps. You 00:41:56.420 --> 00:41:58.449 go around twice. That's it. Well, because technically 00:41:58.449 --> 00:42:02.050 the tracks are five laps. Yes. But if you don't 00:42:02.050 --> 00:42:06.090 win when you start the sixth or whatever, it's 00:42:06.090 --> 00:42:09.210 over. So you don't actually do six laps. Right. 00:42:09.369 --> 00:42:11.750 Well, this one, this is the bonus one. So you 00:42:11.750 --> 00:42:14.489 start on the first lap and you do one and then 00:42:14.489 --> 00:42:18.349 you do the second lap. Okay. So I guess technically 00:42:18.349 --> 00:42:20.429 you're starting the third lap. The third lap, 00:42:20.510 --> 00:42:22.710 but you don't actually do it. The achievement 00:42:22.710 --> 00:42:25.690 says survive for three laps. So they need to 00:42:25.690 --> 00:42:28.239 fix that. Yeah, the achievement's wrong. I feel 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:29.579 like that was the hardest achievement. At least 00:42:29.579 --> 00:42:33.000 for me, that achievement was a bitch. Yeah, I 00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:35.460 tried. I have a save that I can just keep going 00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:38.059 back to. Yeah, I did that too. That one's tough. 00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:40.340 Just so you know, don't turn the music on. It 00:42:40.340 --> 00:42:43.820 actually makes it much easier. I never have it 00:42:43.820 --> 00:42:46.460 on anyways. Okay, well, I did, and it was tough 00:42:46.460 --> 00:42:48.420 because when you turn that off, you can't hear 00:42:48.420 --> 00:42:50.099 the engine noises anymore, and then you can't 00:42:50.099 --> 00:42:52.400 tell which side they're coming from. I can't 00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.639 hear anyway, so. Okay. Just letting you know. 00:42:55.949 --> 00:42:58.710 I also thought that 500 ,000 and the points ones 00:42:58.710 --> 00:43:00.849 were going to be insanely difficult, but I didn't 00:43:00.849 --> 00:43:02.610 realize your points carry over. Yeah, I'm just 00:43:02.610 --> 00:43:04.550 saying. Your points just keep going up and up 00:43:04.550 --> 00:43:07.150 and up. Yeah, I was looking at that. I'm like, 00:43:07.210 --> 00:43:11.050 how did you get 500 ,000 points? Yeah. I thought 00:43:11.050 --> 00:43:14.250 I had to get all the freaking points on the floor. 00:43:14.389 --> 00:43:16.769 Yeah, and stuff, yeah. It's nice, too, when you 00:43:16.769 --> 00:43:19.150 beat the game on normal and you start hard, they 00:43:19.150 --> 00:43:21.250 carry over. Yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying. 00:43:21.309 --> 00:43:23.469 Yeah, they just carry over. Once you beat the 00:43:23.469 --> 00:43:25.530 game once, it just loops back over, and then 00:43:25.530 --> 00:43:27.449 you start on hard. Beat it again, it just loops 00:43:27.449 --> 00:43:29.409 back over to easy. Beat it again, it just keeps 00:43:29.409 --> 00:43:30.650 looping over and over, and you keep all your 00:43:30.650 --> 00:43:35.230 points and stuff. Yeah, I just get the points, 00:43:35.269 --> 00:43:37.449 and I think that's really it. And then win a 00:43:37.449 --> 00:43:43.869 race with every car. Not bad. Pretty simple. 00:43:44.210 --> 00:43:47.130 Yeah, I would say overall it's a moderate. I 00:43:47.130 --> 00:43:49.070 wouldn't say it's easy, but I would say it's 00:43:49.070 --> 00:43:52.619 a pretty moderate. I guess so. Moderate set. 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:54.619 Just because some of those hardened races are 00:43:54.619 --> 00:43:57.599 pretty tough. Yeah, I agree. I guess so, yeah. 00:43:57.820 --> 00:43:59.480 That's it for achievements, so let's go ahead 00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:02.219 and over to the final verdict for Mega Race. 00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:05.699 Here we are at the final verdict. We don't use 00:45:05.699 --> 00:45:07.380 scores or numbering here. We use a very simple 00:45:07.380 --> 00:45:09.619 system. Did you enjoy the game? And would you 00:45:09.619 --> 00:45:12.280 recommend the game? Because that's what it's 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:16.380 all about, right? So, who wants to go first? 00:45:17.300 --> 00:45:19.539 I'll go first. All right, go ahead, Roman. Why 00:45:19.539 --> 00:45:25.480 not? Did you enjoy this game? Yeah, I guess so. 00:45:25.619 --> 00:45:28.940 I mean, I didn't really hate this game, but I 00:45:28.940 --> 00:45:32.579 guess I enjoyed it more than not. There's not 00:45:32.579 --> 00:45:36.460 really too much. Like we said, it's more cutscene 00:45:36.460 --> 00:45:40.679 than gameplay. And the gameplay's alright. It's 00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:44.219 nothing to write home about. It's just racing 00:45:44.219 --> 00:45:47.380 and trying to blow other people up. Which, I 00:45:47.380 --> 00:45:51.820 mean, is a cool concept. But it's just boring. 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:54.300 Not boring. I don't want to say boring. Just 00:45:54.300 --> 00:45:58.260 fell flat on the execution a little bit. But, 00:45:58.340 --> 00:46:04.429 I mean, it's a short game. You don't really have 00:46:04.429 --> 00:46:08.190 to put that much time into it. So it's not too 00:46:08.190 --> 00:46:12.590 much of a commitment. But I did like the commentary 00:46:12.590 --> 00:46:17.369 from the host and everything. It's just that 00:46:17.369 --> 00:46:22.550 dry, stupid, I guess kiddish behavior. I don't 00:46:22.550 --> 00:46:27.550 know. It's very... Pure isle. Yeah. I found it 00:46:27.550 --> 00:46:32.110 funny. But yeah, I guess I enjoyed the game. 00:46:32.329 --> 00:46:37.750 Okay. Would you recommend it? Yeah. Like I said, 00:46:37.809 --> 00:46:40.849 it's short. It's not a big commitment. You can 00:46:40.849 --> 00:46:45.570 beat it in like a fucking hour, maybe. Yeah. 00:46:45.769 --> 00:46:47.670 It's something different. If you've never played 00:46:47.670 --> 00:46:52.869 a 3DO game or you just want a quick game to play 00:46:52.869 --> 00:46:57.090 and have funny, just stupid cutscenes that have 00:46:57.090 --> 00:47:00.210 a good laugh or entertainment, I'd recommend 00:47:00.210 --> 00:47:05.570 it. Okay. Sounds good. Jacob, how about you want 00:47:05.570 --> 00:47:08.570 to go next? Did you enjoy the game? Yeah, I enjoyed 00:47:08.570 --> 00:47:13.730 this game. It's simple fun. It's really not that 00:47:13.730 --> 00:47:18.469 difficult. And it's fairly easy to learn. I liked 00:47:18.469 --> 00:47:23.269 the environments. Music wasn't bad either. Wasn't 00:47:23.269 --> 00:47:25.989 a fan of the commentary, but that's just me. 00:47:26.989 --> 00:47:30.480 It's like more than half the game. Yeah, I didn't 00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:31.840 like it. I didn't like this guy's personality. 00:47:32.179 --> 00:47:35.579 I thought it was just... I didn't like it. I 00:47:35.579 --> 00:47:37.940 think anybody could do it, honestly. Too similar 00:47:37.940 --> 00:47:43.400 to your own? Anybody can do it. Not to mention, 00:47:43.500 --> 00:47:45.699 that guy needs to be on barbiturates if he wants 00:47:45.699 --> 00:47:51.159 to get close to me. Do you really think my energy 00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:55.519 is the same as that asshole's? I'd say so. When 00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:57.179 was the last time that guy started telling you 00:47:57.179 --> 00:48:00.239 to start digging your butt? I don't know, but 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:02.199 would you recommend it? Yeah, exactly. You might 00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:04.019 want to step down there, Joseph. You're derailing 00:48:04.019 --> 00:48:07.119 it a little bit. Well, he's putting up false 00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:09.099 information. I gotta correct it, you know? Alright, 00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:11.579 let's get back on track here. Would you recommend 00:48:11.579 --> 00:48:16.300 the game? No. It's really not that fun, in my 00:48:16.300 --> 00:48:18.780 opinion. I mean, if you want something like this, 00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:21.519 just play any Twisted Metal and you'll have so 00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:24.980 much more fun. It's a completely different game. 00:48:25.460 --> 00:48:27.159 Well, I mean, you're destroying vehicles and 00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:33.320 you're going fast. That makes it the same. It's 00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:35.920 similar. I didn't say the same. Not to mention 00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.659 it's what? Yeah, there you go. See? This guy 00:48:38.659 --> 00:48:42.539 gets it. But he doesn't get it. Anyways, I don't 00:48:42.539 --> 00:48:44.380 recommend it. Go play Justin Metal. Way better. 00:48:45.099 --> 00:48:49.880 Eric, what do you got? I think I did enjoy the 00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:55.099 game. I didn't hate it. But I kind of played 00:48:55.099 --> 00:48:58.690 off what Ryan said. It is kind of lackluster. 00:49:00.289 --> 00:49:04.090 There's nothing too crazy. But I do like some 00:49:04.090 --> 00:49:09.090 of the mechanics. There's not too many games 00:49:09.090 --> 00:49:11.869 that I... Or if there is even one that's similar 00:49:11.869 --> 00:49:16.710 or the same as this at all. Yeah, it is a pretty 00:49:16.710 --> 00:49:19.590 unique game for sure. Is there any other game 00:49:19.590 --> 00:49:22.610 that's similar to this? I mean, there's racing 00:49:22.610 --> 00:49:24.170 games where you shoot at people, but there's 00:49:24.170 --> 00:49:26.130 not... I don't know how many were based off of, 00:49:26.150 --> 00:49:31.329 like, FMVs like that. Yeah. And they made three 00:49:31.329 --> 00:49:33.590 of these, I think? Yeah, the second one's just 00:49:33.590 --> 00:49:35.150 like this one. The third one's completely different. 00:49:35.610 --> 00:49:38.989 Okay, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. But, 00:49:39.050 --> 00:49:42.849 yeah, I think it was... At first, I was kind 00:49:42.849 --> 00:49:44.750 of struggling, but once I learned the mechanics 00:49:44.750 --> 00:49:47.190 and stuff of it, I started enjoying it a little 00:49:47.190 --> 00:49:50.849 bit more, so... Okay. Would you recommend it? 00:49:52.130 --> 00:49:55.400 I'm kind of 50 -50 on it. I don't want to say 00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:58.940 no, but I don't really want to say yes. I don't 00:49:58.940 --> 00:50:01.159 know who this is for. You know what I mean? Yeah. 00:50:02.260 --> 00:50:07.719 It's hard to target audience for this. It pains 00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:11.900 me to say this, but I agree with Jacob. I don't 00:50:11.900 --> 00:50:14.360 like the commentary either. I just don't think 00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:17.559 it was very funny. And again, like you said, 00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:20.719 it's about half of the game. Yeah, it's quite 00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:23.500 a bit. I like the gameplay. I didn't like the 00:50:23.500 --> 00:50:28.539 FMV. Okay. I don't know. It's hard for me to 00:50:28.539 --> 00:50:31.119 say. I mean, if you go into it just to play the 00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:32.639 game and skip all the cut scenes, then yeah. 00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:36.559 Because that's basically what I did. I just fast 00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:40.360 forwarded through all. Yeah. Like I said, they're 00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:43.980 just so dragged out. Yeah. They took up too much. 00:50:45.340 --> 00:50:49.719 Okay. Yeah. It sounded like a no. Yeah, I guess 00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:55.780 so. Okay. I don't hate this game. It's not enthusiastic. 00:50:56.360 --> 00:51:00.480 Oh, man. We're following a pattern here again. 00:51:01.019 --> 00:51:05.539 Well, no, we're not. Did I enjoy this game? Yeah, 00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:07.059 I actually liked this game. I thought it was 00:51:07.059 --> 00:51:09.960 pretty fun. The gameplay is cool. I like the 00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:13.980 idea of racing and blowing up cars and trying 00:51:13.980 --> 00:51:17.059 to get away from stuff and everything. I enjoyed 00:51:17.059 --> 00:51:18.980 the cutscenes and stuff, too. Obviously, the 00:51:18.980 --> 00:51:21.699 big... push here was on the cut scenes uh the 00:51:21.699 --> 00:51:23.739 fmv was definitely the focus and the gameplay 00:51:23.739 --> 00:51:27.440 honestly seemed like it was secondary but um 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.219 it was pretty good my biggest complaint like 00:51:30.219 --> 00:51:31.880 i said is just that it was so short i mean you 00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:34.019 could every race was done in under like two minutes 00:51:34.019 --> 00:51:37.820 you know so um but i did enjoy it it was fun 00:51:37.820 --> 00:51:40.539 and i like i said i did i did enjoy the commentary 00:51:40.539 --> 00:51:44.019 i thought it was uh just had that silly 90s silliness 00:51:44.019 --> 00:51:47.639 to it so it was enjoyable um would i recommend 00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:50.510 this game No, I don't think so. I think there's 00:51:50.510 --> 00:51:53.590 just not enough gameplay here. It's fun. I enjoyed 00:51:53.590 --> 00:51:56.469 it, but there's just not enough. And I don't 00:51:56.469 --> 00:51:59.070 feel like a lot of gamers would want to sit through 00:51:59.070 --> 00:52:00.969 a lot of FMVs. I just don't think that those 00:52:00.969 --> 00:52:04.809 kind of games have aged very well. Which sucks, 00:52:04.869 --> 00:52:06.710 because I feel like if they'd spent more time 00:52:06.710 --> 00:52:08.289 on the actual gameplay, this game would have 00:52:08.289 --> 00:52:12.559 been much more enjoyable. so that's funny because 00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:14.059 i feel like you're the one who enjoyed this game 00:52:14.059 --> 00:52:16.059 the most probably i mean yeah it's probably true 00:52:16.059 --> 00:52:18.960 but i can just i just don't when i think of recommendations 00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:21.860 i i try to think of how the most people are going 00:52:21.860 --> 00:52:24.159 to feel about it yeah the majority and i just 00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:26.159 don't feel like enough people would enjoy this 00:52:26.159 --> 00:52:29.099 game what is the target audience here now i don't 00:52:29.099 --> 00:52:32.039 know i mean what this who this appeals to this 00:52:32.039 --> 00:52:35.150 game is is the definition of a product of its 00:52:35.150 --> 00:52:37.409 time because the thing at the time it was cd 00:52:37.409 --> 00:52:41.110 technology and fmvs were all the rage so they 00:52:41.110 --> 00:52:43.130 were they were literally just showing off fmvs 00:52:43.130 --> 00:52:46.329 is what they were doing for this game so but 00:52:46.329 --> 00:52:47.889 like i said some of it were some of it worked 00:52:47.889 --> 00:52:50.130 some of it's fun it's just such a small piece 00:52:50.130 --> 00:52:52.389 of the entire package that i just don't think 00:52:52.389 --> 00:52:56.170 it's worth checking out but But I mean, for the 00:52:56.170 --> 00:52:58.150 first 3DO game that we've ever played, I thought 00:52:58.150 --> 00:53:01.309 it was good. I agree. I don't think it's a bad 00:53:01.309 --> 00:53:04.550 game. I'm willing to dig in more into 3DO and 00:53:04.550 --> 00:53:08.849 see what it's got. Yeah. I was impressed with 00:53:08.849 --> 00:53:13.909 it. Yeah. Alright. Is this anybody's new least 00:53:13.909 --> 00:53:20.289 most favorite? No. Mine either. Okay. Alright, 00:53:20.369 --> 00:53:23.010 let us know out there, the gamers out there, 00:53:23.090 --> 00:53:24.710 if you guys enjoyed this game, would you recommend 00:53:24.710 --> 00:53:28.250 this game? Let us know. With that, we're going 00:53:28.250 --> 00:53:30.550 to go ahead and jump over to our next game, which 00:53:30.550 --> 00:53:36.170 is going to be Ristar on the Sega Genesis. Another 00:53:36.170 --> 00:53:42.190 Genesis. Who would do that? This is your game, 00:53:42.210 --> 00:53:44.110 right? You picked this one? Yeah, this is me. 00:53:44.530 --> 00:53:46.190 Do you guys have any prior experience with this 00:53:46.190 --> 00:53:50.949 game? Yes. I don't think so. I know about it, 00:53:50.989 --> 00:53:53.329 but... Yeah. I have a tiny little bit because 00:53:53.329 --> 00:53:55.889 Eric borrowed it from his friend one time. Yeah. 00:53:56.269 --> 00:53:59.210 And I played like a level or two of it, so... 00:53:59.210 --> 00:54:03.250 I can't... I don't think I beat it. Yeah. I didn't 00:54:03.250 --> 00:54:05.989 get very far, but I do remember enjoying it. 00:54:06.030 --> 00:54:09.730 It was a really cool game, so... Let's go ahead 00:54:09.730 --> 00:54:11.010 and take a look at the front of the box here. 00:54:11.929 --> 00:54:14.309 You got a pretty smug -looking star character 00:54:14.309 --> 00:54:20.800 standing here. Yeah, he do be. Yeah, he looks 00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:22.460 like, oh, I've already won this game, brother. 00:54:22.980 --> 00:54:26.219 And you got a bunch of planets out there. And 00:54:26.219 --> 00:54:27.820 look, Jacob is doing the same thing as Vectorman 00:54:27.820 --> 00:54:31.400 with the balls over. Yeah, the ball went into 00:54:31.400 --> 00:54:36.320 the thing. That's crazy. Yeah, but Vectorman 00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:38.639 is like all broken. Yeah, Vectorman was punching 00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:45.079 the shit out of it, yeah. Do you think this character 00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:47.639 on the front of the box, you see how like The 00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:51.079 star is attached to a... Oh. Oh, no, no. Maybe. 00:54:51.320 --> 00:54:53.119 It could be. But you see how, like, the star 00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:56.380 is attached to, like, this black orb with arms 00:54:56.380 --> 00:54:59.260 and legs? Yeah. Like, is that a star that just 00:54:59.260 --> 00:55:02.219 attached itself to that? Or is that my star? 00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:03.880 I don't know. Why don't you play the game and 00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:05.119 find out? Is that his face? I guess we will. 00:55:05.139 --> 00:55:07.940 Or is that just a mask? Yeah. It's like Kool 00:55:07.940 --> 00:55:09.800 -Aid, man, you know? Yeah, yeah. Is he the juice 00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:14.659 or is he the jar? Oh. No. He's the Kool -Aid. 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:17.039 Kool -Aid's not juice. You literally can't call 00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:19.460 Kool -Aid juice. You know what I mean. I was 00:55:19.460 --> 00:55:22.199 looking at his shoes, bro. He's got some good 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:26.440 Kool -Aid shoes, man. It's like a Sonic, almost. 00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:32.300 Yeah, with yellow stripes. Yeah. Alright, alright. 00:55:33.380 --> 00:55:37.679 Let's flip this box over. Eric, go ahead. Rise 00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:41.960 star. Catch a rising star. Rystar, the son of 00:55:41.960 --> 00:55:44.840 a legendary hero who's been captured, is the 00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:47.400 solar system's last hope against the evil space 00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:52.340 pirate Greedy. Rystar must travel to the seven 00:55:52.340 --> 00:55:54.840 planets of his home system to restore peace to 00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:57.380 their once happy worlds and ultimately free his 00:55:57.380 --> 00:56:04.119 father. Rystar stretches his long elastic arms 00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:07.900 to grab enemies and headbutt them. His long limbs 00:56:07.900 --> 00:56:10.869 help him climb up walls. or swing out of danger. 00:56:12.570 --> 00:56:15.289 Discover totally different worlds and new creatures 00:56:15.289 --> 00:56:18.349 on each planet. Battle strange beings who aren't 00:56:18.349 --> 00:56:20.789 always what they seem. Shoot through a variety 00:56:20.789 --> 00:56:24.150 of gameplay, action, puzzle, and strategy combined 00:56:24.150 --> 00:56:29.210 to challenge Ristar at every turn. So, we played 00:56:29.210 --> 00:56:31.110 a game where we used our butts, now we're playing 00:56:31.110 --> 00:56:34.630 a game where we use our head. I think I remember 00:56:34.630 --> 00:56:35.949 that. You can't jump in this game, right? You 00:56:35.949 --> 00:56:39.179 have to grab everything? I think so. It's been 00:56:39.179 --> 00:56:41.199 a long time since I played this game. Yeah, yeah, 00:56:41.219 --> 00:56:45.260 yeah. Huh. Okay. That's interesting. It's only 00:56:45.260 --> 00:56:48.760 one player. Oh, that's it? Oh, damn. Dude. And 00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:51.059 it's only kids to adults, so. Yeah, so neither 00:56:51.059 --> 00:56:56.099 of us can play this game. Alright. Are you guys 00:56:56.099 --> 00:56:56.760 looking forward to this game? Why don't they 00:56:56.760 --> 00:57:00.619 do infants to adults? I don't know. They gotta 00:57:00.619 --> 00:57:03.239 have baby games, right? Baby games. They did, 00:57:03.300 --> 00:57:06.829 like Sesame Street on the NES. Yeah. What was 00:57:06.829 --> 00:57:09.550 that other game we had? I don't remember. We're 00:57:09.550 --> 00:57:10.769 not talking about those. Are you guys looking 00:57:10.769 --> 00:57:14.789 forward to playing this game? Yeah. It looks 00:57:14.789 --> 00:57:17.250 pretty sweet. Even if I didn't know anything 00:57:17.250 --> 00:57:18.829 about this game, I really like the colors and 00:57:18.829 --> 00:57:22.469 pictures on this box. This game catches your 00:57:22.469 --> 00:57:24.269 attention. I was going to say, the backgrounds 00:57:24.269 --> 00:57:26.010 in this game are giving me Vectorman vibes, man. 00:57:26.130 --> 00:57:27.949 Those are actually really nice, vibrant fucking 00:57:27.949 --> 00:57:31.090 backgrounds. Yeah, they look good. Potential 00:57:31.090 --> 00:57:35.530 goat. Do you know what year this is, Eric? Nah. 00:57:35.889 --> 00:57:41.449 It says 94 on the box. Yeah. On the back. I like 00:57:41.449 --> 00:57:44.190 the back of the cover. It's red and blue and 00:57:44.190 --> 00:57:46.130 it's got yellow stars all over it. Yeah, I know. 00:57:46.150 --> 00:57:48.909 I like the boxes on it. It says released February 00:57:48.909 --> 00:57:54.929 16, 1995. Okay. Oh, okay. Alright. Sweet. Okay. 00:57:55.130 --> 00:57:57.070 Are you gamers out there interested in this one? 00:57:57.150 --> 00:57:58.869 Do you have any experience? Let us know.
