"...I didn't even know the NES was even capable of producing such an ear-piercing sound!" *Points to the Famicom Pokemon Gold bootleg* You'll hate me the moment you listen to it.
I am a musician and a composer, what I wonder is, how was the composer capable of producing this loop of music with such awful, detuned, totally unrelated notes? Did the programmer of this game let his 3 year old child hit some random keys on the computer or something? xD
+NightShader1 It is pretty easy. I'm not musician but I created similar cacophony as in CrazyBus in Reality Adlib Tracker by setting high-pitched sound in instrument and pressing random buttons on keyboard. Now I'm afraid myself this track lol.
+NightShader1 That one song at the end sounds absolutely terrible because the nerd was getting hit by bombs that fuck up your controls. The song is normally straightforward and consistent (though still not good), but for some reason, those bombs make the music go apeshit.
"Hey Rocky! Watch me turn this series into a game!" "But that trick never works!" "This time for sure...PRESTO!!" *pulls out game* "...well, I'm getting close..."
That's because they made by the same people Radical Entertainment. Thankfully they strongly improved themselves in the PS2/Xbox era with The Simpsons Hit & Run for example.
it depends on how many times you get hit by bombs....if you can pass the stage without getting hit the song sounds normal but everytime you get hit from bombs it makes the sound detuned
"... like trying to piss into a shotglass that's spinning on a record player that's strapped to a running cheetah's back while you're riding a unicycle on a tightrope blindfolded."
So apparently, there's a sound glitch in this game. Whenever bombs fall in this game, they put the sound channels out of whack. It basically makes an ear-piercing song ear-coveringinblood.

I don't know if its just me or AVGN's content has got much better and funnier. The past avgn episodes have lacked some of the original humour but the Christmas series that he has started to do has improved so much from the previous episodes. Well done James keep up the good work!

There are discordant music tracks that someone suffering with intrusive thoughts can listen to that will help distract the mind so much that the effect of the intrusive thoughts is lessened or negated altogether. The game music in this game sounds JUST like one of those tracks.
What’s funny is that this game was developed by Radical Entertainment, which also made The Terminator on NES and Wayne’s World. They also made Simpson’s hit and run.
Actually the stairs bit can be somewhat reasoned. Bullwinkle had long legs whereas Rocky is pretty small so it'd make sense that he would have to jump to get up a step. Doesn't mean it's a good mechanic but it does work with the context.
3:18-3:20 reminded me of The Angry Video Game Nerd's experience in 'Action 52' when playing 'Cheetahmen' when he said "What the fuck?!... I came out the top of the screen & came out the bottom of it & died???...".; Lol.
linkis ahero Yeah, HTF has a few buck-toothed squirrel or squirrel-like characters. Been a number of years since I last saw HTF, so I can't remember all their names.
Amazingly, this developer would go on to do The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, Prototype, and... uh, the Scarface game...? Okay, they're still not very good.
Olivier Bottin I know that. It was out at the same time, was of the same genre and had the same general concept as Prototype, and so it was in direct competition to it.
Wasted Rain I know, so was that Incredible Hulk game. But my choice of excellent games from them dried up pretty fast, unless I thought the GameCube Crash Bandicoot games and "Monsters Inc. Scream Arena" are awesome. :P
I want to see James be a guest voice on an episode of Rick and Morty. There are a few times where he stutters in disbelief, and it reminds me of the vibe of that show.
"You can't hurt anything without hurting yourself."
Kind of philosophical when you think about it.
Also, kind of like the Werewolf’s special move in ”Werewolf”; which, by the way, hurts you more than it does the enemy 😑.
"A stairway to nothing. That ended up being a stairway to something." Is much stupider (when you think about it as if it were philosophical), but also kind of fits the bill for being philosophical.
"It was a stairway to nothing that somehow happened to be a stairway to something.".

Are you sure that you aren’t just describing LJN’s entire program?
@crass k crack and beer. And it was beer filled with crack and crack moisturised by beer.
Warren Spector? You mean the guy who helped make Epic Mickey?

It makes me wonder how many other games of his were made on a drunken whim...

What’s funny is that this game was developed by Radical Entertainment, which also made The Terminator on NES and Wayne’s World.
They also made Simpson’s hit and run.
Did I hear a 4/4 to 7/8 time signature change at the end of the music loop? That's quite progressive for a game of this magnitude.
