Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Let's Play Plok! It's like Rayman, only not at all! The End!

PlokUS0000.jpg

Hey guys, let's play some Plok. What is Plok? Well you see, Plok is a a freaky yellow and red thing that throws out his arms and legs to beat stuff up. He also has a gigantic life bar with about 15 notches that translates to about 3-4 hits from anything. Also as this is a SNES game, he cannot swim.

Notable things about Plok: There are none, nobody has played this game. There's me and maybe 2 other people. However, I can say some cool stuff about it.

1. There's no water levels. At all. Plok cannot swim and that's that. He can't magically swim in one level and then can't the next, no he can't swim at all.

2. This game has some of the best diddling music in any platformer ever made on the SNES. It is completely awesome and I love all of it. I think it may be because Rare was involved with this game and their games have the best music.

3. This game gets pretty tough later on. Because of this, I never beat it as a child. However I have beaten it recently so I can confirm that it is possible.

4. FUCK THE LAST BOSS WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING PROGRAMMERS?! JESUS CHRIST IT IS STUPID!

Some of you may be saying, "But Gilder, you already did a video of Plok's first world. Why not just post that one?" To you I say that that video sucked just like all of my other early videos did and I don't know why you crazy people liked them. Good god. Also you may be saying "But I thought you quit doing videos." To that I say I did. And now I haven't. But after this, I probably will again. Hooray!

This thread is also all me baby, nobody's riding my coattails this time. It's an event not seen since Pink Panther. So with that, let's play some PLOK!

Videos!

Cotton Island! I am going to be sued by the Disney Corporation.

Garlen Beach, Sleepy Dale, and Plok's House! Plok is super racist against fleas.

Island on Parade! It's the 1920's or 1950's or whatever, I can never decide a time to stick with.

Penkinos! I found after recording this that Plok actually is the king of Akryllic. How bout that?

Venge Thicket and Dreamy Cove. I noticed a hut at the bottom of the beach on the world map. We never go there. Mysterious.

Womack Spider. This is the best video ever made and makes Casablanca wish it was a cinematic masterpiece such as this.

Creepy Crag and GoHome Cavern. Hey guys, have I put in enough effort yet? A hyuck hyuck hyuck. Part 1. Part 2.

Rockyfella. Blah blah, whatever.

Some Fleapit levels. Gimmicks ahoy! Part 1. Part 2.

More Fleapit levels. Can you say more vehicle levels? Plok sure can! Part 1. Part 2.

The End! Part 1. Part 2.


Note: I've been given mod permission to do threads like this in the past, I know what's what and all that jazz. You probably do not so ask a mod before you attempt your own.

    That so? Maybe that was the thing that got edited out of the OP in my MM LP. If a mod wants to edit that out of this OP or wants me to remove it I'll be sure to do so but just in case, I'll keep it in.

    Oh hey. I watched your intermission video of Plok. Good to see you playing the whole game. I've seen this game before but never played it, always looked like fun though. I'll be keeping my eyes on this.

    So wait...does that mean we don't have to ask mod permission anymore and we can just post new LP threads at will, or does it mean we're not supposed to do LPs at all? I would doubt and seriously hope against the latter, seeing as how you just made this thread and all.

    There's actually one more end-level comment that I find amusing as well but it's no diddle. It's just a simple GADZOOKS!

    Gilder, I'm here to diddle with you. :twisted:

    Wherein Shady rocks harder than Gilder! (Warp to a BETTA LEVEL!)

    You know, I actually didn't know about that warp until I played through this time. The warp that's really hard is later on and it warps you to the last world. That one is really difficult because there's a bunch of walls blocking you and you have to throw grenades to get through. The thing is, you can't aim the grenades and they need to go to the lower ones. Plus if you miss even one jump, you're almost screwed because you're probably going to get trapped under the edge of the next piece of land.

    That video isn't going in the OP though because this is MY show. Not yours. So get your own!

    This game looks awesome.

    However, I think that if I do play it by myself it won't be NEARLY as awesome without Gilder's wonderful voice.

  • GilderGilder Registered User regular
    If you do play it yourself though you'd be able to hear the awesome music.

    Oh and because I am awful at recording sound, here is the awesome boss fight music. Seriously, it is the most awesome boss music I think I've heard in any platforming game. Also, I don't think I've said awesome enough in this post so let me say it again. Awesome.

    My God, just viewed the first video, and I have to say I absolutely love the narrator. What and excellent Let's Play! Really funny, I really enjoyed it! :lol: Also, the Boss music absolutely kicks ass.

  • -SPI--SPI- Registered User regular
    Actually Plok is secretly famous (work that one out). I remember Plok being played on an australian kid's game show back in the day called "A*mazing". One of the rounds involved the kids playing a snes game against each other (or trying to get a high score) amongst other games they played Plok, DKC, Mario Kart, Bubsy and if I remember correctly the flyswatter game in Mario Paint.

    Looking back now, the producers on that show must have been really lame and/or poor. Although I guess they did give away Gameboys if you found all they keys in the maze in the final round. I always laughed at the kids that missed a key or two, the look on their faces when they realised they weren't getting a gameboy was priceless. :lol:

    Anyway, Plok. Can't wait to see more.

  • SnareSnare Registered User
    Hell yea, another LP, thanks Gilder, you've saved me from boredom at work for countless hours :)

  • bruinbruin Registered User
    This game looks pretty amazing. I'm going to try to track down a copy.

    Gilder, you should make the game volume a bit louder in the next video.

  • GilderGilder Registered User regular
    Yeah I tried, it's just hard to get game audio with the microphone I use. No recording program really cooperates with it and trying to record the game and my voice separately would probably cause desynching which is worse than having no audio at all. I'll try turning up the game volume a bit more though, I think I'm just out of practice with how loud I need to make it.

    I played a lot of Plok when it came out, and just the other day was thinking of giving it another go. Loved the music, and the black and white level was so cool.

    I vaguely remember renting this at some point, but I don't think I got very far.

    Speaking of Gilder Let's Plays, we need like a dvd release of the Mario All-Stars videos or something. I'm sure Nintendo would approve.

    I remember as a kid I really wanted this game.

    So one day we were in this game store and I had to make a choice between Plok or Phantasy Star 4.

    I made the right decision.

    I am probably the other guy, still have it (and the manual), but usually never got farther than 1 or 2 levels past the 4th boss.

    I'm not sure where I fit in. I loved this game when I was younger.

    I can't believe there's actually this "many" people who have played this game. I'm astounded. Also, nobody mention what makes the last boss so difficult if you're one of those that reached it. It needs to stay a surprise for those who have no idea what it could be and people might be too tempted to click a spoiler and find out.

    I read on Wikipedia that it's a sleeper hit. No surprise a fair amount of people know about it.

    People must have been enticed by the cover. Everyone loves clay. They even used it in stuff like Earthbound. Which was also a sleeper hit. Coincidence? I think not.
