    The dolls are worth collecting, because after like a dozen, you get a dolphin form, which allows you to move fast in water, and jump out high from it (and make a dolhin sound during the jumps). Then after collecting nearly all (28 I think) you get a bird form, with which you can fly anywhere (not just levitate in the same height, but actually fly wherever you want).

    Powerslave and Prey will both always stand out from the crowd for not just being games where you fight generic aliens with guns, but where you fight generic aliens with guns and a dash of *C U L T U R E*
    Seriously though, Egyptian gods in a shooter game? I’m eating that shit up. Prey’s fun too, but I feel like basically being unable to die sucks the gravity out of the situation, although the Native American culture flair is something that feels so rare in video games outside of the Red Dead series.

If they hit you a second time with it before turning back to normal, they instakill you. Also you missed an important detail of DOS Powerslave: the Hand power up breaks the game. It not just doubles your attack speed, it also doubles your damage output, and the Machinegun basically instakills all bosses with it.

    When I was a kid, the version I knew about was the PC version, specifically through the demo I got from a magazine, and later when it appeared on Home of the Underdogs as abandonware. I think I played that even before Duke 3D so it was still pretty impressive stuff for the time. The sound the spiders did and the initial scare I got from them still hunt my dreams.
    Skip a few years later and I found Exhumed at a local video games flea market but the Saturn version. So popping that game in I expected it to be something similar to the game I played back in 1996-97 on my PC. Yeah, I knew the engine was different by that point, but I expected it to be more or less the same game (kinda like Duke 3D I guess). To my amazement it was something completely different in almost every way. And I was blown away by what a relatively unknown studio pulled off, on a Saturn back in 1996. Like this was basically a full blown Metroid Prime game before that game was even a concept in the minds of Nintendo.

    Damn, I grew up in the 1990s and I've never heard of Powerslave upon its release. It wasn't SegaLord X, GmanLives, and RagnarRox that my interest for Powerslave peaked. Now you're doing a video on Powerslave, Civvie? Powerslave has truly become a cult classic as time passes.

    15:15 I was racking my brain trying to remember where that iconic sound effect is from. I quickly went through my games folder and when I saw the name "MDK" that was when I knew it's from when you use the sniper mode. The bubbling sound effect is also from MDK, though you only hear it in later levels.

    I love when Civvie screens at Ramses "Then why are you a GHOST!?" about the immortality, bc so far as I understand Egyptian mythology, you can be Immortal, but also die, your just now also immortal and dead, it's a whole thing, like Osiris, who died that one time, but came back, but was still technically dead, so even though he was back, he couldn't rule anymore.

The fact that even though he is in a government facility somewhere he finds the time between the torture and puke samples to make videos for us his fans and the fact he still has the will power to make funny jokes that are sometimes original is another thing I love.
