I remember being really excited and renting Bubsy because it had a NERF Ballzooka in it as a weapon. For some reason I got a huge kick out of product-placement in video games. I also loved Cool Spot.
You know what else deserves to be in here? Did they ever make a game of hammerman? Some of you have to know what the fuck I'm talking about.
He had talking fucking shoes.
They did make a game I think. Some generic, slow-moving platformer probably. You also forgot to mention one critical point that Hammerman was M.C. Hammer as a dancing super-hero in a black suit with baggy pants and a gold chain.
I feel your pain Matatat, I must've spent literal days playing this with my cousin at boring weekly family gatherings as a child. Hell, I even had bubsy 3D on the PS1, which is pretty much literally the worst 3rd person game I have ever played. Holy shit was that an awful game.
I actually wish I could find it now just so I could fully appreciate the terribleness of it
You know what game is totally awesome? Streets of Rage.
Just sayin.
And if you want to try playing a terrible, yet novel game you should try Lifeline for the PS2. I own a copy that I found through eBay.
It's your basic Resident-Evil-style survival/horror game but set in outer space. You play a man attending a party in the world's first luxury space hotel when aliens show up and start murdering people. The game begins with you trapped in a control room while you guide around a waitress named "Rio" who inexplicably has a handgun in her locker (and infinite bullets). You play by opening doors and activating computers for her, while the rest is handled through voice control. It's frustrating, poorly-written and acted and very cheesy but also very unique.
Expect to say "dodge" "fire" "dodge" "firefirefire" "retreat" "reload" "fire!" a lot.
It also has a voice-recognition interpretation of the "go to cabinet" "open cabinet" "open drawer" "open sink" mechanic found in most olde-timey adventure games.
I just want to say that this is the most amazing and frightening thing I've seen all week. According to the YouTube description, this dude has apparently spent over 500 hours playing this game.

His voice though, you don't want to watch anymore ... and then he speaks again and your brain just kinda slides around inside your head a bit and suddenly the video has progressed 2 more minutes and you know much more about bubsy than you ever really wanted.

You can imagine the self-esteem issues that the game planted.
Celts, right? I never made that distinction reading them when I was younger either.

I don't know why I played it long enough to do so.

500. Five hundred.
or maybe they just assumed, wrongly, that the folks in charge of controls wouldn't botch everything
"I know this game veeery well"
Fuck him.
huh huh since you know I got 99 lives from playing level one so much (snort) huh
Oh man, Ulillillia.
that was incredible
500 hours on level 2, not the full game.
Level 2
are you serious
how can you not just fall in love with this guy
he has found his extremely aspergers-y passion and he is totally unashamed of it
honestly, I admire him
you should see his sonic videos too, they're fantastic
His imaginary friends.
also you should have linked the high res version of his picture first potu
