Ubi soft made some really creative games in he he late 80s, especially on the Amstrad with stuff like Zombi. They went a bit shit in the 90s when they were shoving out nothing but tennis games, but started getting good again mid 90s onwards.
Erik Fejes My avatar is a rendition of Casey Jones from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe, as painted by an artist called Dave Rapoza. Look him up if you can, his artwork is phenomenal.
Maybe it's a pit full of spikes, the logic being that if you stab a vampire with enough stakes, at least one will pierce their heart. Though I imagine if a vampire were to fall into a trap they would instinctively turn into a bat just from the falling sensation. Love your picceh btw, want an apple?
There was also a game on Intellivision simply called "Dracula" where you played as the vampire and went around draining blood from hapless townsfolk. It probably wasn't an inspiration, but it's definitely an antecedent.
I like it when games let you be the monster and/or villain, be it a vampire, werewolf, or dungeon keeper. One of the many fun things about the Elder Scrolls series is being able to be a vampire or werewolf. But, when I want to play a vampire game I pull out one of my more recent GOG purchases, Bloodrayne.
I just wanna say THANK U LGR! for being so wonderfully dedicated to what you do! I absolutely love seing you talking about these old pc games with such passion! I am a dedicated retro nerd myself and know the feeling when you find a game in good condition (big boxes are the best) and just sit and read through the manual, to get a good idea of the story of the game. To me it´s art! Please keep em' coming! How about reviewing games like The dig, Full throttle, Monkey Island, Toon struck etc etc?
I always wondered why the EGA color palette has the most garish colours imaginable. Instead of just softer more pleasing primary colours. Like the screaming cyan, and the magenta red-pink. The ZX Spectrum palette is similarly weird, which makes ports of well known arcade games look like an acid nightmare in many cases.
You should review Gizmos and Gadgets! from The Learning Company. I loved that game as a kid. It came out in 1993 for DOS 3.3 and later for Windows 95. Gameplay description from Wikipedia: "The object of the game is to win 15 races in different vehicles against Morty Maxwell at the Shady Glen Technology Center. This is done by moving the Super Solver (who has no facial features) around a series of warehouses to collect vehicle parts by solving puzzles involving principles of physics. There are 15 races; five races in each of three categories, automotive, alternative energy, and aircraft. The races get progressively harder and the vehicles more complex as the player nears the fifth race in each category." Love your channel, man, keep up the great work!
I'm so glad I found your channel. You are so fucking funny, down to earth and clearly just love what you do. I think people could learn a lot from you. Thanks for creating hilarious content for us and be sure to take care man.
I read a review about this in "Video Games and Computer Entertainment" circa 1990. It noted the relative monotony but was otherwise positive. It seemed like a side-scroller with a more "realistic" look and feel compared to the glut of Super-Mario-clone NES games at the time. No floating platforms or Mario-like jumping; you can't even jump (very refreshing for an NES player). No arbitrary, icon-like power-ups that you merely touch to "pick up;" you actually have to manually pick up real, non-floating objects. No [overly] cliched enemies - thank God there are no bats! And no video-game-cliche weapons like "energy balls!" I like the 16-color EGA graphics; more so than the 256-color VGA graphics that were rapidly becoming standard for MS-DOS PC games. Until Doom came along, I didn't see a single DOS game that justified using 256-color VGA. In short, Night Hunter looks like fun. I hope to play it some day.
I absolutely love your shit lgr. I always watch one of your videos before I go to sleep. Even though. I've watched them all already. You're so mellow and chill. While also being entertaining, highly entertaining. Keep up the good work with lgr.
Dude I just want to let you I LOVE your videos and a student (which means I'm broke) but when I get some money I'm definitely giving you some money on patreon, thank you for the videos and I'm Irish so thank you from across the globe!
I have one of those game antagonizing memories again. My dad used to use DOS when I was very young. This had to be around 1992 or before but I remember a floppy disk game (he had a LOT he circulated amongst his friends). The game had a look similar to this game. It had an interface with items on the screen (I think) and the only thing I remember is you play on 1 screen and your objective was to get past certain things in the way. I vividly remember there being a rope/grappling hook item you would need to use to get across a canyon. The character looked like a hiker would, like with a back pack. The interface is what reminded me of that old ass game!
I wish more indie games nowadays would imitate DOS style graphics. Since so many are pixelated anyway, may as well go really old school, but with new school gameplay and features. ;)
That indie pixelated style is more from laziness than a deliberate style choice; games like Shovel Knight where they respect the constraints of the retro style they're trying to emulate and do their best to make it look good within them are few and far between
I would love to see a review of Anno 1602. It's a city-building, Renaissance-warfare, colony-building simulation game that I personally consider my all-time favorite. Released in 1998 by Sunflowers and developed by Max Design, and it still has a following today. Ubisoft has since purchased Sunflowers, and with it the rights to the Anno series, which has had 5 games released since 1602, their latest version being a freemium real-time online strategy game with no warfare and those annoying "come back in 5 hours to build the second house for your city" But none of the sequels were comparable to the simplicity and joy of 1602. The simple graphics and clear tiered system, along with the simple in-game mechanics made for an incredibly satisfying game which I enjoyed from the age of 5-15, and now I'm simply trying to find a way to play it again, since this game captured my heart. Jeeze. I just ended up writing my review of the game. Whatever, I'm interested to find out your opinions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1602
I remember playing this when i was 11, 23 years ago at a friends place, I was trying to remember the name of the game but could not, now thanks to you I finally found it. Thank you !
Music of the opening is a beep rendition of a classic post-punk/batcave/gothic track called "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus. In the Amiga version, they use a little slowed sample of the original track.
Awesome I saw it on your shelf and was hoping you'd do a review. I owned Both the Dos and Amiga version back in the day and thought it was a pretty cool game. Hope someday to complete it.
I had very hazy memories from when I was 6 or 7 years old about a game where you played as a vampire and have been wondering for years what that game was. Thank you.
I actually got this game from a friend last year along with Duke Nukem 1 and 2 when his dad was clearing out a bunch of old games from their basement. I was never able to test this game because I don't have a working DOS system with a 5.25" diskette drive, but it's still a really neat game to have. I've always wondered what the gameplay of this was like and I hope someday I can get a system with a drive that can read these disks so I could try it for myself.
Played this when I still had my 286. It's frustrating, but the graphics style of the DOS era (16-color only but nice), the nostalgia and the interesting anti-hero premise made this one of my favourite games.
I am going to be extremely weird...but your skin is so clear I am soooo jealous...can you please be a beauty guru? LOL. talk about comp tech while showing us how to do a smokey eye ;D
Check out his "3D Pinball Space Cadet" t-shirt. I never imagined I would see a t-shirt from a pre-installed Windows game. I wonder if there is a "Ski Free" t-shirt somewhere?
I saw this in the background of one of your recent videos. I was wondering what game it was (I couldn't make out the title text in the video). I have to say, this game looks kind of cool. Thanks for reviewing it.
Great to see you showing some Amiga love Clint; this and some of the ones in that 3D Realms pack really show up how weak the PC was for games in its early days. Just got to get you some US ROMs for your ST now!
Nice review. I played it on the Amiga back in the day (TM) ! Far better version, as you already mentioned, and I'm always excited to hear the amiga being called an "awesome machine" !
This is still way way better than NightWalk on the Atari and Amiga. Enjoying the retro reviews. Might I suggest some games by Microprose for future episodes?
There was another Amiga/ST vampire-based platformer with an almost identical premise to this - "Brides Of Dracula" published by Gonzo Games in 1991. The difference was it was two player split-screen, with one player as Dracula and the other Van Helsing. I had a demo of it that came with a magazine, it was really, really odd.
From the box-art I imagined something far more engaging and ominous, like a dark SierraLike adventure game, possibly in the first person or with first person elements (I think some games did proper full screen graphics when you talked to people) and if you got caught by a monster it would have a proper first person death sequence where the monster would lash out at the screen. If you wanted the main character to also be the villain the horror would come from the brutal nature of the protagonist himself; perhaps at one point giving the player the option to "Kill the girl" if she gets in the way of their goal, at which point a full screen cutscene occurs where the vampire grabs her, she struggles, the vampire tilts her in such a way that she's partially blocked off from the player's view and "kisses" her neck, she struggles harder, a pixel wide line of blood spills to the floor, pooling around the grooves of the stonework, she goes limp, the screen fades out back into the main game and you're standing over a bloody heap on the floor.
I remember playing this on the Amstrad 6128+ CPC and it looked and worked quite good on it. I think the manual said there was 30 levels, but I found it a bit long to get that far as I ended up stopping after about level 15-16 or there about, so I don't know what happened if you actually reached level 30 and completed it.
so i have to say LGR I love this I have loved you playing some of the Dos games I didnt even know other people knew they existed. Tomorrow I am going to go on my own thrift mission (but not make a youtube video because I wouldnt wan to rip you off) inspired by you thanks for the entertainment.
Hey Clint, are you planing on doing a video on the game Hunter Hunted? It is an interesting sidescroller (at least in my memory). I played the multiplayer a lot as a kid.
Can PC Speaker play audio ? When i play Links it dose music from the PC speaker and my Dell 260 P4 computer dose play auido from the PC speaker when i plug something into the front audio jack. I am guessing this is not met to happen maybe.
I see you're aware of the cancelled c64 port with its unbelievable soundtrack, since you play a track from it at the end there. And I think I can hear some very low volume tracks from the game while you talk?
I appreciate them trying to create an action game that relies more on planning, stalking and running away from foes than pure action like some sort of horror-inspired, sidescrolling Metal Gear. But alas, even though it's the thought that "counts", it can still only get you so far.
I'm gonna assume that somewhere in two years worth of comments, someone else mentioned that in Stoker's novel, Dracula was only repelled by crucifixes. So, a collection of crosses without Jesus on 'em could just be a trophy collection - "Hey, Mummy, look at all these crosses I got from pwning n00bs", or something.
lol dracula had a upside down cross in his inventory. which actually makes sense. old dracy just has to make sure he isnt holding that backwards cross upside down
Hi, I was wondering how far you got in this game. When I got to level 6 and saved, then quit and reloaded it wouldn't load my game. I don't have a real copy of it like you so I was wondering if the downloaded version I got was broken.
Question, what are registration cards actually for? As far as I can tell they're just to tell the company that you bought their game, but I doubt they actually give a shit.
+Matrilwood I always presumed it was for warranty. If you said "The floppy wore out" or "My manual was destroyed" they could check their records to see if someone with your information submitted the card to prevent pirating. I'm really just speculating though.
Wow Dracula killing lot of people....I think he has a drinking problem
+Redem10 Nice.
Couldn't kill the 66...
Badum
Some people say he's got a drinking problem but he's got no problem drinking at all.
Ubi soft made some really creative games in he he late 80s, especially on the Amstrad with stuff like Zombi.
They went a bit shit in the 90s when they were shoving out nothing but tennis games, but started getting good again mid 90s onwards.
And now they want to make all of their games the same.

I'd rather have Assassins Creed sequels than tennis games thought!

Developed by Ubi Soft and published by Electronic Arts? Now that's something you wouldn't see today.
It would be a nightmare to play if released now.
Also, if rereleased would it be on Origin or Uplay? :P
guguy00 I'd say probably Uplay, since Ubisoft - ahem, Ubi Soft - made it. EA only published it.
InfinityCraft
Doesn't the publisher have the pubishing rights though, so it should be Origin right?
Either way no one's buying this :P
*****
Let's not forget the dlc. The shitload of dlc.
I've never seen that shirt.
Now it's the most important thing to get in my life.
Customized it myself!
How you know there's a holiday coming up: when LGR says it's that time of the year again.
Seeing the Lord of Vampires being killed by a pitfall is kind of funny.
Maybe it's a pit full of spikes, the logic being that if you stab a vampire with enough stakes, at least one will pierce their heart. Though I imagine if a vampire were to fall into a trap they would instinctively turn into a bat just from the falling sensation.
Love your picceh btw, want an apple?
Thank you! I love apples!
Funny a fall high enough can kill most thing !!!
@@emanuelarriaza3710 This is apparent considering that it somehow managed to kill your grammar.
Ugh, those weirdos with balloon fetishes. They have such inflated egos.
Thanks for the joke

Ubisoft making an extremely mediocre repetitive game? Whoa who would guess that?
Nerte
A self fulfilling prophecy to this day...
Frankly, I'm as shocked as you are.
At least sleeping in coffins doesn't reveal icons on the map!

Another classic game review. Really enjoyed that one too mate. ~Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Love your channel. Been watching it for years. Your commentary and voice are very relaxing and I enjoy the humor and the retro dos games

Keep up the good work with lgr.
Signs that tell I'm tired, I got scared by that pop up Hugh Jackman XD
Ubisoft and EA? Now that is scary!
Repetitive open-world game where all the progression is locked behind lootboxes and DLC.
Dude I just want to let you I LOVE your videos and a student (which means I'm broke) but when I get some money I'm definitely giving you some money on patreon, thank you for the videos and I'm Irish so thank you from across the globe!
Love your videos man! I got about 10-ish years on you so I like how you appreciate the classics!
Anytime I see a vampire I must check it out...guilty pleasure. The name Vampyre Mike didn't come from nowhere X D . Cool video bro!
Great review :)
Never thought I'd see a comment from you guys here
“I can feel it waking the Dracula in me!”
“WAKE THE DRACULA IN YOU!”

ahh the wonderful orange reg.cards of old ....and the lovely essence it gives you.....i like them alot...

I love how objective LGR is. He's the go-to guy if you're interested in buying any of these games.
I find your episode writing pretty damn engaging. Nice work.

I can't imagine anyone who worked on this is still at Ubisoft or EA.
I was sniffing my 90s pc manuals all the time...I get you man! They smell amazing to this day
I'm not proud that I know what you mean
@@EvilStreaks proud or not...it was calling me to sniff it 😈
Some smelled so good I'm not joking.
So even back in the day Ubisoft was making boring schlock that would have been more fun being handled by anyone else? What a shocker...
Nice review. I played it on the Amiga back in the day (TM) ! Far better version, as you already mentioned, and I'm always excited to hear the amiga being called an "awesome machine" !

I remember this game, I kind of liked it. Thanks for the review.
Created by Ubi and published by EA... this game better have some tasty lootboxes
Other than the cheap deaths, this...actually looks like it could be decent. I'd love to see a remake.
Amazing review!

"Compared to someone with a balloon fetish, it's really not that bad."
That had me laughing far harder than you probably ever intended.
Wait, was that intro song at the main title screen a messed up version of Bela Lugosis dead by Bauhaus?
Is that title music a simplified version of Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus?
Never thought I'd hear ubisoft and electronic arts in the same sentence in a positive way
Lol, 3d Pinball shirt. Nice touch from the XP days.
From the box-art I imagined something far more engaging and ominous, like a dark SierraLike adventure game, possibly in the first person or with first person elements (I think some games did proper full screen graphics when you talked to people) and if you got caught by a monster it would have a proper first person death sequence where the monster would lash out at the screen.

Cool, thanks for the reply
0:13 - why would you want to be off pudding? I love pudding! You should always be on pudding :)
Nice review :)
Are you familiar with a game called Captain Claw?
Love the aesthetic - wish it'd show up on GOG.
That tshirt is incredible
The graphics and screen-by-screen style remind me of the Hugo series.
I played this one a lot on my Amstrad CPC. I think you forgot one of the abilities of the werewolf: press fire while crouching to jump.
Can PC Speaker play audio ? When i play Links it dose music from the PC speaker and my Dell 260 P4 computer dose play auido from the PC speaker when i plug something into the front audio jack. I am guessing this is not met to happen maybe.

you're the historian the master race needs. keep up the great work!

TY, now I have another game to put on my "play as the villain" list
Back then EA and Ubisoft weren't greedy money hungry bastards.
I loved that Hugh Jackman Van Helsing movie
I am Dracula.
Okay.
HeyIAmHiggins We got some kinda Dracula over here.
To be fair, the cross goes in your inventory as an upside-down cross, which is usually used as a sign of devilry.
I'm gonna assume that somewhere in two years worth of comments, someone else mentioned that in Stoker's novel, Dracula was only repelled by crucifixes. So, a collection of crosses without Jesus on 'em could just be a trophy collection - "Hey, Mummy, look at all these crosses I got from pwning n00bs", or something.
Laboriously polishing your sword while rats run around petrified... that's... quite a concept.
Where did you get that 3D Pinball Space Cadet t-shirt?!
lol dracula had a upside down cross in his inventory. which actually makes sense. old dracy just has to make sure he isnt holding that backwards cross upside down
Hi, I was wondering how far you got in this game. When I got to level 6
and saved, then quit and reloaded it wouldn't load my game. I don't
have a real copy of it like you so I was wondering if the downloaded
version I got was broken.
Did I hear Zed-X Spectrum and not ZX?
marioluigifun Zed-X is the only way to pronounce it!
+Lazy Game Reviews Agreed... just like the way to pronounce football (mind you, not the Gaelic, Australian, or American versions) is foot-ball.
LOL Love the review!
Question, what are registration cards actually for? As far as I can tell they're just to tell the company that you bought their game, but I doubt they actually give a shit.
Don't just +1 this comment, guys! Answer the question! XD
+Matrilwood I always presumed it was for warranty. If you said "The floppy wore out" or "My manual was destroyed" they could check their records to see if someone with your information submitted the card to prevent pirating. I'm really just speculating though.
