Adventures in Heaven 2 is not what I expected

- Like, I knew it'd be a mid 90s shareware/shovelware compilation for DOS and Windows 3.1. But the overall presentation is just something else, haha
Download the disc here:
archive.org/de...
29 minutes of watching shovelware and you get rewarded by an LGR original song. What more could a person want in 2020?
I remember most of these games and this is a super weird reminder of things from my past.
Artists rendition only. Actual experience of heaven may vary.
I used to love Slam!.. now I know what it was called. I remember Neverlock.
Laugh intro is awesome
Goldhunt lmao reminds me of shareware breakthrough, countless hours I've spent playing that and still playing it on my 97 dell laptop :)
22:26
Absolutely used Neverlock before. I think I downloaded it off a BBS back in 90s IIRC. Used it to crack many games. Bad me. Good me now owns my games.
Seemed to be really well known.
That gate way is sharp.Nice.Is it a "17 ?I use couple since a lot dos looks sharp on smaller pc crt.
Oh wow, your modern keyboard looks slick! Which one is it?
EDIT: Nevermind, found it. It's the Keychron K8 with Blue switches. :)
6:08 a new lgr thing is here
Retro Nathan Drake straight up
The cover art is just Clint on his way to the thrift store to look for some interesting tech
DUDE. You NEED to mix us some chill, retro pc era-inspired electronic tracks. Make them in the vein of house or trance and I'd be absolutely willing to finance the results.
Me too!
A collab with 8-Bit Guy would be awesome
@@Ltulrich This! Holy crap! That would be awesome. Clint has been hiding some pretty awesome mixing skills all along. Wonder if Tech Moan could be brought in for stinks and grins.
I think someone said bring in the 8-bit guy as well. That would be sick.
@@NathanTempleton_Integration Indeed.
But that's it for the moment!
Styxhexenhammer666 is also a decent musician.
"Why does this channel have 100k+ subs?"
Graces us with this absolute treasure, then live-mixes an edm song to end the video
Yeah. ”Why does this channel have a silver button?” Then casually drops a sweetly mixed chilll tune with some spicy beats straight out of the blue.
Few things in life are as pure as Clint laughing over stuff he's enjoying immensely lol
Except maybe STEVE1989MREinfo saying nice.
@@DerthDeboblo Or "nice hiss!" Lol
I typically can’t stand it when people laugh, hum, whistle, or sing out loud in public. But Mr. Clint here simply has a pleasant laugh that makes you want to 😊.
I find it's actually the one thing that ruins his videos for me.
@@RikoJAmado you must hate fun if you hate people laughing lol
Definitely expected "Adventures in Heaven" to be one of those weird Christian games like Bible Adventures or Super Noah's Ark 3D
With the cover art, I expected it to be a collection of Chick Tracts
@@lastcontinue3010 "DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WILL ADVENTURE AFTER YOU DIE?" and then Discount BJ Blascovich here gives you a sermon while shooting those darn satanic influencers with his tiny gun
Same!! I was expecting bizarre religious gaming.
I was expecting a shoot em up with a lot of girls in it.
You would never get a Christian game called adventures in Heaven. Adventures aren't allowed in heaven because everybody is good there and adventures need trials, tribulations and bad guys
I live in Lakewood Ohio. That address is a balloon store now lol
Hello fellow Lakewoodite!
thank you for the information i never knew that i needed
I live in neither Lakewood, nor Ohio, but I did go to google maps and find out it’s now a balloon store. You should visit them and report back. Send Clint a balloon.
Saw my name and did a double take.
I used to work in downtown Cleveland and frequent the Lakewood Taco Bell for lunch. It was excellent in 2008!
DJ LGR is back with another bop!
Coming from the future of 3022 with his new Mix Tape "Bangers in Heaven 2"
10:12 "Please feel free to distribute copies of this unregistered version to friends, neighbors, lovers, etc."
... my many lovers will appreciate this.
And if they don't, then did they really love at all?
Clint, you seriously need to start a SoundCloud.
Or BandCamp
I was thinking this too! That was some seriously good stuff at the end
I was not expecting that level of talent and bruh he just LAID IT DOWN 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I thought I got autoplayed into one of my musictuber subs until I saw it was Clint and I was like "WTF THIS IS SICK".
The bass is fuckin' RAW
This isn't a game where you get to meet Jesus and ask him questions about the universe? how disappointing!
You may be looking for TempleOS
That's what it will be when you get one and put it in your DOS box. Clint just happens to not be one of the heaven-bound Chosen. Tragic, really.
@@HubrisInc I never heard ofuntil you mentioned it and then I had to look it up never knew there was a Bible operating system, weird.that would be something I definitely would like to see featured on lgr or this channel.
@@squirlmy so that explains how the rapture is going to be done in the Bible it's going to be through old CD-ROM disc containing shareware that people are just going to put into their drives and get raptured up to heaven if you're chosen. I wonder if God thought this through well considering most computers don't have disk drives now and shareware is a thing of the past. Think he's going to need to come up with a new way to rapture his people.
You don't meet Jesus in Adventures in Heaven 2, you play as him. The game's kinda boring because nothing ever happens and you can't die.
Hey, Clint, can we get a video that's just your little remix that was at the end of the video? I'd like that for my youtube music playlist.
Yes
Time for a LGR Tunes channel perhaps?
@@natalie5947 petition for LGR Music
So, wait. This disk has a SHAREWARE version of a cracking tool to remove license checks from games? 90s were WEIRD.
WTF?!
The real question is: does it actually work?
In the 8-bit days the magazines would print POKEs to bypass code cards.
@@6581punk old school
I wonder if it cracks itself.
Those laser sounds when you went into DOS, is the intro to "Jungle Love" by Steve Miller Band.
th-cam.com/video/y6DhLuwsI6M/w-d-xo.html
I just commented this. LOL.
I knew that sounded familiar!
Yeah, I recognized that right off when Clint opened the DOS menu.
"Adventures in Heaven 2! It's driving me mad! It's making me crazy!" LOL.
THANK YOU
The dude looks like he's blasting a fart and shooting at the same time, plus looks like David Bowie on a Roid rage, classic
I was thinking David Bowie too. lol
Mate I was wondering why it looks like David Bowie after a bad car crash
Neverlock is absolutely a thing I remember. The irony is... it was widely pirated and I think they went out of business because of this fact.
Seems fair... why pirate one when you can pirate them all... what ya gonna do, go to court?
F
He who lives by the sword...
@@stevethepocket Dies by the gun.
Eat your heart out Drew Struzan, I want this cover framed and on my wall!
Seriously this is your best LGR Blurbs video so far. Immensely entertaining and fun.
Also can we have a download copy of That remix at the end.
This feels like looking through my Steam library at the hundreds of humble bundle games I own but will never play.
LGR just casually dropped a funky beat at the end of this like it was nothing.
Somewhere out there, a developer is shouting at the screen, "I wrote that game!" 😅
And another one is out there saying "Yeah man, I built that whole menu system thing when I first learned VB3 (Visual Basic), then we redid it in VB for DOS. Good times..."
@Paul Miner
And some developer might lean back thinking: dude, I still can't believe so many people sent me $5,52 back then, I still can live off this...
That cover art is the Wolfenstein × David Bowie mashup I never knew I needed in my life.
Looks more like bootleg Nathan Drake
I did NOT expect Clint to just live-mix some kind of Deep House thing at the end of this video. That shit was fire, too!
Nice little banger at the end!
28:56 LGR Beats channel when?
Everyone is hoping to come soon!
SERIOUSLY. That's gonna be in my head forever!
If MC Duke is on board, I am 100% in
I want Clint to walk us through all the synthesizers and DAWs he has
Have blerb type episodes where he goes through DAWs for older systems
Oh my god I’m foaming at the mouth just thinking about it
I second this emotion
These type of cds always make me wonder if they've managed to include some forgotten program that isn't found anywhere else.
There is much forgotten software. Usually for a reason.
One program i used was desktop delivery. Was the same premise as teamviewer.
Was a great piece of software but I have never been able to find any thing about the developers etc :(
I choose to believe its Adventures in 'Heaven 2', as in Adventures taking place within a realm known as "Heaven 2", as opposed to it being just a sequel to an initial Adventures in Heaven installment, and since there presumably isn't much information out there on this, my interpretation is just as correct as any other.
For that matter, they might have put in a two as false advertising, pretending they were established long enough to put out a sequel. The two might be totally meaningless, even a typo! I think you're a bit too proud of finding "an alternative". Corruption, not to mention the absurdity of humanity life means hardly anything has any meaning and Heaven 2 might refer to a bologna sandwich or even a good bowel movement.
Some say it's where the wrathful alien god JHVH-1 originates from.
sup drunk me
The answer to the age old question: if Heaven is so good, where's Heaven 2
On first glance I thought it was a Choose Your Own Adventure game. Those covers, man.
"Shockingly" that store is long gone. But this brought back a bunch of memories, I still live in lakewood.
Thought that this video is something related to War in Heaven fps in the 1990s :D
A LOT of memories. Not bunch.
@@simontay4851 In some parts of the US, "bunch" is considered an acceptable alternative to words like "lot" for the purposes it was used for here.
I hope that's what David Bowie looks like in heaven.
With a gun? Shooting whom?
@@Ganiscol whomever he wants,as long as he's expressing himself, artistically.
I don't think I've ever directed a band that isn't made entirely of spiders
@@Sithedd Mars, or glass, it's all great.
Som much goodness in one single blerb. I really enjoyed the jam at the end as well.
“Welcome to LGR: After Dark, I’m your host DJ Clint and we’re going to be spinning the decks with some retro game tunes.”
Lazy Music Sampling at 28:56
Given the fact he's kicking a door in with a gun in his hand, maybe the cover art guy is a home invader who shouts "adventures in heaven" right before he executes hapless homeowners.
If I ever go on a k*lling spree I'm totally going to do this lol
When are the Christmas games/vids gonna start? lol
LGR Christmas INTESIFIES
Why is David Bowie on the cover of the game?
Looks more like Josh Homme to me
Because it’s copysoft
Because:-
Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy
Bowie's back, and he's pissed!
Had to go doen too far to fins this. Looks like a mash up of Bowie and the Wolfenstein 3d cover.
All right, that's quite enough... We NEED an LGR MUSIC CHANNEL!
Dude, I had Neverlock! Ironically, it was a fully registered version I downloaded off of a BBS. I used it all the time, even on games I did buy. It was super helpful for stuff like the AD&D Goldbox games when it would randomly ask you to look up stuff in the manual upon saving.
That little mix you wade at the end was seriously awesome! I've never seen anyone use one of those little machines before, I had no idea you could produce something so complex and enjoyable with such a relatively simple piece of hardware and relatively modest skill (I only say that because I don't recall hearing you mention your music producing interest, so I assume it's just a fairly minor hobby; although I have to say that looked - and sounded - pretty skilful to me!)

13:35 Jungle Love - Steve Miller Band
This compilation is nostalgic on another level since it has a lot of DOS games you covered in the early LGR days in like 2011. Good times.
is lgr flexing a game&watch on the left speaker over there?
edit: holy crap that ending was brilliant dude!
Could be the new one ? They just released a "Game and Watch" with SMB1 on it.
I reckon it's the new one alright. Would be just ~right~ for a casual drop in the background of the video.
I like that next to "How do you rate this CD?" it has fair, average (which I thought were both the same thing), good, and excellent. No option for "f**king terrible" then?
God, that cover. Am I the only one who feels like an 8-year-old designed it?
Plus, apparently “unprotect” is a game category. Nice...? (Wait, so it some of this actually pirated?)
Tbh, I think this cover looks about as good, if not better, than the cover of Wolfenstein 3D (which it was clearly inspired by)
What kind of highly talented, art grad, Da Vinci levels of skill 8 year olds you been hanging out with?
@@DeadHandtheSurvivor You’d be surprised 😛
@@SuperBravo45 Devian Art artists don't count.
Naw I jest.
That coverart looks like David Bowie playing the role of John McClane. It's marvelous.
It's an episode of shovelware diggers by LGR.
Would be lovely to see Chris and Clint together to play some of those games.
@@marcsm2008 agreed
Yeah, this looks exactly like the right kind of followup to Shovelware Diggers: Heaven's Boogaloo.
Neverlock, now that takes me back. I used it all the time, mostly with stuff I owned that I lost the manuals for. If I remember right, it worked by dropping a launcher in the game folder that would run before the game itself. Neverlock wasn't the only one out there, I remember there were a few other commercial anti-copy-protection packages out there.
The "Registration Card" grants you access to a list they can sell to advertisers - Bonus! 🥳
This is too good. Love the sampling at the end
This is the definition of "shovelware"
Yeah, It's not as bad as those CDs they used to sell that said things like "50+1 amazing games" and all of them were made in flash, all of them were obviously quickly made and horrible.
Because you can use the CD as some sort of primitive ground digging device? :)
@@6581punk lolz, it's the idea back in the late 90s when cds first came out, since games fitted on floppy disks the largest you'd get would be somewhere like 20 floppies at 1.4mb each, 30mb so they'd put that on a CD, then just pile tons of crap on top to make it up to 650mb. It's amazing how much you can get on a disk
@@TheInternetHelpdeskPlays Your timeline is wrong. These compilations start showing up everywhere around '93-ish. By the late 90's basically everything was released on CD-ROM's.
@@BobbyOxygen well he's silly to think someone who names himself after a 6581audio chip doesn't already know this. He's also made it sound like this was a low-end shareware tactic. Major software publishers and even PC distributers were putting out terrible software to make it seem like they were giving away whole libraries of software. This useless stuff was on Iomega products like zipdisks and on new computer hard drives. "Educational" software, utilities, "internet suites" everyone was taking advantage of computer newbies. It was sort of a fundamental part of "software" being a product that didn't take up physical space. The transition to CDs made it worse, but it wasn't the cause. Source: being a college graduate who bought a 68k Mac with my wife in '94, AOL online! My relatives, at least, thought me a "techie" and in helping them, found "shovelware" everywhere. The cost and time needed to download things over telephone line modems thankfully spared us from that online.
3:19 - the case clearly states no installation required! You're wrong, you are NOT going to install it!
13:36 Adventures in Heav... JUNGLE LOVE
Came for the box art, stayed for the music.
Love the quotation marks around "new and improved".
Also, IIRC at the time I thought Elftree was quite nifty.
Looks like David Bowie in airless Mars from Total Recall!
The dude in the game's cover art looks like an off-looking painting of David Bowie.
MSB moved to Avon, Ohio some time in the early 2000’s. I frequently delivered pizza’s to them and it was all sorts of sketchy. They took over a retail location and covered all the windows. It never looked open, only one or two cars ever in the parking lot, but the orders were huge. Always 4 or 5 half-sheet pizzas, dozens of wings, etc. They were adamant that drivers stayed in their car and they’d send somebody out to get it. I went to the door only once, was let in by a teenaged kid, and saw inside the place. I saw a bunch of kids running around, easily 20+ people all sitting on couches in what I assume was the sales floor. I was very quickly escorted out by a panicked adult, given a $20 tip, and had the door slammed in my face. Again, only one car in the parking lot. That was 15+ years ago and I still remember it vividly. I delivered pizzas for about 6 years, that was by far the weirdest.
In hindsight, given what I saw in that place, all of the ‘heaven’ references make a lot of sense.
@@abductedcows4100 How so?
The DOS intro synth tune sounds like the beginning of Jungle Love by the Steve Miller Band.
You beat me to it, but it most definitely is.
Let's summon Chris from ADG here. He'd love this CD.
Man, David Bowie looks pissed in that cover
I’m dying here for Christmas Clint man... the suspense is killing me
That music at the end was DOOOPPEE. I want one of those thingies now.
11:48 "Murder - A simple game where you shoot targets (boss, mother-in-law, ex-wife)"
Can we see this game, please?
I'm so glad someone else noticed that weirdness
It’s been shown in Shovelware Diggers.

20:34 Unprotects (as they probably call them here) were basically programs that would disable the copy protection schemes used in the day. For example, some games would ask you a question or have you find text in a book as a means to prove you own the game. I know for example in Where in the World is Carmen SAndiego you had to ocassionally look up information in the Fodder's guidebook after certain missions so you could progress through the games. In Bill Elliot's Nascar Challenge, you would be prompted with a challenge question, for which you could find the answer on the printed "copy proof" paper which was usually dark in color so it couldn't be easily copied. In fact, I used the NeverLock program a few times on some of my gams (which Iegitimately owned to begin with).

...watching this video 😄
A bit of information I could find out about this company. As late as 2005 they were in Lagrange, Ohio and were known as MSB.
They are still there, same people and address but known as SpaceBound. An IT support company. So they went far it seems.
Hey you reading the comments before watching the whole video! This is one of those videos you stay to the very end for the VERY best part! Love it Clint!
Yes ma'am
Those Copyware guys missed a marketing trick there; they could have used the strapline "Business Neverlock-ed so good" . . . !

Pfffrtt
I like the game and watch sitting on top of the left speaker.
That's the newest Game & Watch that was made this year. It has Super Mario Bros, the original Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, which was considered "too hard" for an American audience back then, and some Game & Watch Gallery version of "Ball," which was the first Game & Watch.
I completely forgot about Skunny and this brought back a ton of memories.....not all of them....shall we say good
I LOVE YOU MY MSN YOU MACK MY LIFE INTROSTIN
From the makers of "All Dogs Go to Heaven" comes the thrilling sequel "All Reservoir Dogs Go To Heaven 2"!
That opening sound for the launcher on DOS, isn’t that just the beginning of Jungle Love by Steve Miller?
LGR, 8Bit-Keys, and Anders Enger Jensen should have a massive cross over, and do an album, as I would for sure buy that.
Clint, when are you going to start making your music available? I keep checking your descriptions for links to it.
I remember having something like this on windows xp. It brought hours of fun. One was a mining type game where you were a "sperm man" and you had to find your way to the "egg." I cant remember the name.
Surprised I never got these compilations, considering my mom would have assumed it was filled with Bible games
Funny! I live in the Cleveland area, and that address is occupied by Up N Away Balloons, which is oddly closed on Mondays. Love the Blerbs and the regular channel- You and 8 Bit Guy are a part of my morning coffee ritual when I'm off work. Keep up the great content!
i've used neverlock before its a fantastic program, all it does is modifies games that ask for a book phrase. so you can just type in gibberish and the game will still let you play it. cracked my copy of speed racer, stunts, and might and magic III because it was always a hassle to get the manual
That rotten pad Thai commercial is so annoying that I’m never ordering from Postmates again.
Someone needs to make a 486 DOS game based on this sweet cover art. They can name it Adventures in Heaven 2: Judgement Day.
The good old days in the mid-nineties when everyone and their dog made these compilation CDs. I once saw an ad in a computing magazine for a CD which claimed to have 5000 icons.
Okay but how do I follow you on SoundCloud now 😂
This begs for a Bad Box Art Part 2 video on the main channel.

BONK
Seriously is that the same stock sound effect?
The sound effect of the splash screen is Steve Miller Band (Jungle Love), not public domain to the best of my knowledge. :D
