It doesn't look AS bad this time around, likely given his hair isn't as short this time to make it noticeable.

Decent episode. The kind i like. He talks about the game. Doesn’t use increasingly reaching profanity, no stupid skits. Just an in-character review.

This game really frustrated me when I was a kid because I just couldn't figure out what to do to get anywhere or do anything even though I liked the basic concept.
The game feels more like a beta version than any kind of finished product.

I do enjoy A boy and his blob. But it always felt like a ddumbed down for NES version of a Lucasarts or Sierra point and click adventure.
Oddly Maniac Mansion,a lucasarts game,didn't feel that dumbed down on the NES.
James...Use to be as soon as a new episode was I would watch it. Now it willl be weeks before I bother. The quality of the last year or so has been going up. But there is also so many more in his niche that I watchover James now.

Love this game, it's an all time classic.
Probably have no desire to watch this video though, despite his last one being probably his best video in years.

The Tornado Rex one unlocked some core memories for sure. I wish I still had it. It is CRAZY expensive to get a complete copy of it today. |

I love his mini rant on never getting the manuals with rentals because some f***head had stolen it. Some places I rented at just had the controls printed on the rental case because they knew some chach would eventually steal the damn thing

This is the kind of game I often dub more cool than fun. Like, it does a lot of neat stuff, and is very clever in its way, but it is so finicky. I guess it being pretty short, as he mentions, is part of why they allowed for it to be so obtuse about certain things, because it was one of those games where you could just try things and, once you knew what to do, speed through sections.

Decent episode. The kind i like. He talks about the game. Doesn’t use increasingly reaching profanity, no stupid skits. Just an in-character review. There's been a noticeable uptick in quality since he brought Mike back to write with and seemingly ditched the Screenwave guys |

Anyone see Mike Matei's (kinda related) playthrough of the game?

Anyone see Mike Matei's (kinda related) playthrough of the game? I did. Although since it has been over half a year since I have seen it, I cannot tell you any specific parts about it. |
