    Episodes with Reggie are usually the ones I tune in for the most. Dude really picks out the kind of obscure titles I like to see.

      Reggie picks the best games because he smokes weed.

      ***** It's a great Survival Horror game, feels a lot like the indie "hide and seek" horror games that are really popular these days.

    • @endigopink
      @endigopink 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yeah, I mean this game was like Amnesia or Alien Isolation, but 15 years ahead of it's time!

  • @dseklecki
    @dseklecki 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your videos, keep it up, guys! FYI about the notes pages in manuals: when printing, you have to have an even number of a set number of pages. If there isn't enough content to fill an even number of pages, publishers added "notes" pages at the end simply to fill out the blank pages at the end and even out the numbers. I don't think anyone really expected you to put down the controller and scribble notes in your manual!

  • @MizzahTee

  • @onaretrotip
    @onaretrotip 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video guys, and a cracking selection there Reggie! Nekketsu Oyako (Hot-Blooded Family) is one I'm after on the Saturn , but it's pricey. Never heard of that Panzer Bandit, looks awesome.
    The reason that PAL PS1 cases are so large is that they had to fit really thick manuals in, as they have to be multilingual in Europe. Some of them are crazy thick!

  • @FakYuhGoogel
    @FakYuhGoogel 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Yeah, I love those PAL cases :3
    Don't be jealous about 5-10 exclusive games us Europeans got, you guys got lots of fantastic JRPGs that we never got! Still looking for so many of them and shipping plus taxes (on eBay at least) is so expensive T-T

    Crisisbeat and VG advanced 1 & 2, I've been playing those games since my chilhood and I was really excited when you guys showed them :) . Also, I got Chaos Break the past year but I haven't found time to play it. Anyways great video and very very cool games you came up with Reggie.

    Love the video MJ and Reggie, you guys are the best on here. Love the channel. I have to get some Japanese games for my PS1, of course it's the launch version PS1, SCPH-1002 please keep the PS1 videos coming guys

  • @andrewpaniagua7765
    @andrewpaniagua7765 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! You've helped me so much when it comes to deciding which systems and games to get. And I love how entertaining and genuine you guys are when it comes to presenting the material. My hats off to both of you and a very big thanks. Like I said whenever I'm considering a new system or new game it's like second nature to come here first and see what MetalJesus and Reggie have to say first. Its almost a religion!

  • @EposVox

    @Nick-lq2kb 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really appreciated this video. I feel like I already posted this, but feel I have to post again, I just got a hold of a green debug PS One because I collect green systems....because I like green...because I'm a damn child.
    ANYWAY. I've had quite an annoying time tracking down decent lists of import PS1, 2, and Saturn stuff. Even if these videos drive up the value of some titles, you guys always help me track down some stuff I never would have otherwise heard of. It's always a blast playing a game that's brand new to me on old systems.

  • @twigz128
    @twigz128 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Man Crisisbeat, i’ve been trying to find the name of this game for many MANY years. I played it a lot with my friends back when i was 9 or maybe 10 years old, god this brings back so many good memories.
    That’s why i love this channel and this whole hidden gems series, thanks a lot guys!

  • @kevdogyt08ti
    @kevdogyt08ti 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very cool PS1 Hidden Gems vid! I got an ePSXe on my PC, so it's always awesome to DL these games 'n play em for the 1st time. Recently, I've DL'd 'n played Advanced V.G. 1 & 2 and Chaos Break. Had Hell Night, but got stuck on the last level in the gigantic lab (Took a wrong turn 'n hit F1 at the wrong time... LOL That happens...). Gonna try out The Firemen 2 (looks interesting).

    so nostalgic video! I remember when I was a kid here in brazil playing SNES and PS1 games, most of them in JP version, i don't know how I could beat some of those games at the time LOL. I got this CrisisBeat one of my few ps1 games. Really good game for those who love Beat'em Up! good job +MetalJesusRocks

    @asthmaticmonkey1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Have to confess, I do love the PAL cases for PS1 games. Brought a few of mine with me when I moved to the States from England. Amazingly they are still intact. :-)

  • @SylvainThuret
    @SylvainThuret 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Reggie is cool, I learn tons of stuff when you too are on. I owned an Atari when I was like ten. My best buds had an Amiga. And I played Team 17 games at their houses. Along with Psygnosis they were the masters of the machine and the computer gaming world at the time. Project X was quite a big deal when it came out, cause the graphisms came out of nowhere. Console cutlure seem to overshadow it but it was definitely something on the technical side. Didn't know there was a sequel. On the Playstation! Game hunting time.

  • @supermahmoud
    @supermahmoud 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    1:31 Hey Reggie I'm glad you picked up the AVGeo games they are awesome specially the 2nd I played it so much, the stories of the girls are interesting (cheesy in a way but cool old school JP stuff!) and got me attached to them even if I didn't understand everything and had to use a FAQ translation to learn about the characters. Very underrated 2D fighting games.
    3:17 Panzer Bandit, awesome game, good choice, is definitely an underrated gem.

    @Joe-dq5gq 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great list! Got a few more games to add to my collection now. Also, you should try the original "Tombi" PS1 game its a really nice game with a nostalgic element even if you haven't played it before; and it has colourful vibrant levels. It's one of my favourites. It's quite scarce to get hold of but well worth it if you can find it for the right price! It's a PAL game.

    Awesome recommendations. I definitely need to start building on my ps1 collection again lol.

  • @PomelopicturesStudio
    @PomelopicturesStudio 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The reason we had larger cases is because European versions of games very often had language options included in the build that's burnt on the disc (usually EFIGS - English, French, Italian, German & Spanish). Therefore the manuals also have to include all the language variants so they're much thicker - too thick to also act as the front artwork as well. This is true for cartridge games as well but they usually came in cardboard boxes anyway so it doesn't really matter how thick the manual is.

    Really enjoying the show, Ive been gaming since my spectrum and original NES and you are revealing games to me I didn't know existed... great stuff. You should do some Vita stuff. I know its current gen but I can't see it lasting much longer which is unfortunate, its a great console with some excellent games.

      @Therealmadkong 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @voltcorp
    @voltcorp 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    "Notes" pages in manuals are usually there because the printing process required a certain number of pages for the cutting/stapling to work, but sometimes there just isn't content for that many pages.
