This is pretty funny. So I actually wrote a game that is included in this “pack”. Backcountry Killers. My kids were asking if I ever wrote any games (professional programmer now) so I googled it ti see if there were any screenshots I could show them and this video showed up. Story behind it may be somewhat interesting and clarifying for why this pack was so bad. It was early 1990’s and I was about 22ish I’m college. You were almost correct on one aspect, it was actually written in two nights over a weekend for a school project. You have to remember and consider the types of games available at that time and realize at the time the graphics and sound were actually considered quite good. Side note, on the PCs at that time the audio was not so delayed and was in sync. The compatibility mode it runs in now actually causes the delay issues. Anyway I received an A in the class for the project and the professor recommended I release it as shareware (popular back in those days). I did and simply asked for a $1 donation to register and unlock the extras. A number of these large publishers began packaging up shareware games and releasing them in these “packs”. They never obtained permission of paid any royalties etc. Hell, I didn’t even know it was being put on any of them until many years later. I suspect this same type of scenario played out for many of the other games in this pack. So while I found the commentary mostly true and funny, keep in mind the original authors never intended for the majority of these games to actually be sold especially at retail. The blame should all be directed at the publisher(s) for misleading buyers to make s quick buck
@@mikotoh At that time, there was a genre of hunting games that had become very popular. A series of Deer Hunter games and knock offs, even hunting arcade games with realistic guns were all extremely popular. Even the old Nintendo Duck Hunter game has been updated and re-released. So my game was just intended to be a comedic spoof on those types of games. The trend was towards trying to be serious and ultra realistic. I was trying to go the opposite way and be over the top goofy about it. Hence the ridiculous character descriptions and sounds etc. it’s really just a spin on the classic whack a mole carnival/arcade game. In high school I worked at an arcade which is partly what inspired it as well. Also important to keep in mind is that it also started out as a simple college project that ended up kind of taking off so I just went with it. Looking back it definitely wasn’t a planned out project but more of just a joke that took on a life of its own.
Incredible story man. That's such a trip to think about. I figured there was something shady about whoever distributed these games even though most of them were just made from the Klik N Play software.
A bit of a late reply, but I just want you to know, no comments made towards the game either by us the community or Vinny, are mean spirited. You made a cool game back when that shit was WAY harder to do than it is these days. That's worthy of a hell of a lot of praise and respect. But we also love to make jokes and poke fun at times past, and your game is very much a product of its' time. I hope you didn't take offense at any of the comments made by Vinny in his stream. We all love this stuff and it's part of video game history and culture at this point. I only wish you would have gotten some kickback from the sales of these compilations since I feel like it's super scummy of these companies to just dump hundreds of shareware games onto store shelves without even asking permission from the authors of the games. If you've made any more games since then, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we'd love to see them. Again, huge props for making the game and giving us all a few laughs, as well as relieving the boredom of plenty of office workers and students that had the good fortune to have a copy.
What a way to start a stream: >Clown giving a you kinky look >Cowboy duel in the background >Black shiny booty >Ducks All together while vinny says:"Tonight is trash" Oh boy. It gives me chills

UubrMan X Hey to be fair I wouldn't be into Sonic if it wasn't for Office Max, I got the Sega collection published by Activision, Sega Smash pack 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic CD, and Sonic R for the PC, I'm still sad I couldn't get CD to work on Windows Vista years later as a kid. still the best purchase I've made from there. Then again I bought it with the only knowledge of Sonic from the cartoon
There is a fan patch to get CD working on later versions of windows, granted the digital rerelease is probably superior to the original PC release in every way... Also, some older EA games would be rereleased by Cosmi themselves as budget games; I have NFS Carbon for instance.

I don’t know why, but this has to be one of my favorite fall asleep streams. Over the past 3 years I’ve been using this stream to fall asleep to. Works every time. Thanks Vinny!
I had this in my early teens. My parents bought it from office depot or something. The games were awful, but my siblings and I would laugh and play anyway. (We didn't have much else to do.) If I remember correctly a lot of the games either didn't even load or had glitches in them. For us they were so bad they were good. Thank you for sharing this with the world!
I recieved this collection as a gift around 14 years ago, It's nostalgic to see these shitty "games" again. Vinny's gonna love the loud, unnecessary sex sounds in "Rats"!
Fun Fact: Klik and Play isn't a company; it's Clickteam's earliest software. Clickteam is behind the engines that led to the creation of Five Nights at Freddy's and Freedom Planet.
Holy shit, you found the hot garbage of my childhood. This was actually the disc I got most of my games from for YEARS when I was a young bab. I played the SHIT out of Gunner 2 and Billy's Great Adventure. Gunner 2 was great because it contained a mess of copywritten music that I didn't recognize at the time, and when I later played the games the music was really from, I thought that they stole it from fucking Gunner 2.
garbage is nutritious because there is a slight 1 to ∞ chance that it may have been previously food. "but the bugs and stuff got to it first..." those are called twitch viewers, honey.
I owned and played this exact collection as a kid. Literally hundred of amazing hours were spent uninstalling games. You can actually edit the registry files for many of the games with regedit to unlock the full version features.
Dude this is such a trip, my dad bought me this from a PC repair store when I was like 8. I used to play these all the time and I thought they were the tits.
1:26:16 this is an absolutely shameless rip of Super Stardust for the Amiga, which although a version of Asteroids, was quite good - that's why this game is reasonable compared to some of the others lol
"Developer" of Earth Destruction (and some other games in part 2) here. I made that junk when I was like 8 or 9 years old with Click & Create. I'm 35 now. Had no idea those "games" wound up on a CD until recently, and then went on TH-cam to see if anyone had played them, and was pleasantly surprised to find this (already a Vinny fan). Wild.
@@ThatOneHellsingFan I think it's from this Cheech & Chong skit: th-cam.com/video/tHIwooltfzg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZD3rDnae7tXCYPjC&t=180 I probably found it on a "funny WAVs" site back in the day.
Your definition of "lit" and mine are two vastly different things... This music is like listening to a toddler trying to play during the demo on his little tykes keyboard.
Funny enough, that 3D Dirtbike game was actually my jam back in 2000, it was like the one little game smuggled onto the school computers that we could get away with playing without getting in trouble.
Holy shit, a midi version of rape me. There probably was an underpaid Indian programmer named Pajeet that didn't want to make the music, so he just took a random song off of a random album that was in the studio and made a midi of it. Kurt Cobain had forseen that this would happen, this is why he committed suicide
This video always helps me fight my depression. I always come back to it when I need white noise to relax or have something to listen to while I'm doing other stuff. Thank you Vinny
I didn't think I'd ever hear "computer controlled nikes" in my life, but there you go. Thanks, Vinny, for enduring this wonderful and beautiful collection, in all it's nostalgic MIDI glory. This brought back a lot of memories, but I never played this particular game collection. I played a different demo disc... ONE THAT HAD THE SHAREWARE VERSIONS OF DOOM, HERETIC, WOLFENSTEIN 3D, AND HEXEN ON IT! It was pretty cool, and it worked properlly.
Dexter plays 300 arcade games lol. This video is unreal. You are exactly as baffled as I was with these games! I sensed the same strange creepy vibes with some games like brutal space as well!
I like how that Captain Courageous game said it had offensive language in it, and then immediately after it flashed "ages 5+" for less than a seconds time.
I have a similar collection to this one, but it only states "100+" instead of 300+, and probably needs a virtual machine to run as well. The only real gem in the pack is the shareware version of Exile 3. EDIT: Well whadaya know, they shove two collections onto one disk, with x word on line y "copy protection" to prevent me from playing a smaller version of the EXACT SAME collection Vinny played! (Shares the same cover, minus the clown on top. Also, both programs use the same install menu/system) Maybe I should send Vinny the installer? In addition, Lowtax "reviewed" Battlepets way back in 2000 on Something Awful btw.
MrWolfSnack I assumed he used a virtual machine because the installer for my collection is inexplicably 16 bit; and as such doesn't install in 64 bit Windows, even if the games work just fine.
I had a CD back in the day called "2000 Shareware Games" for Windows 3.1. I remember a significant amount of trash on it, but that didn't stop Young Bab Dexcat from trying to find _something_ worthwhile in there. It was all in vain.
Oh god, you even got to see Brutal Space, and it looks like its still confusing as ever. When I was little, I thought this game was from China. I always thought the death sound was saying "Our ship!" But my brother insists it was "oh shit."
I actually remember "Klik N Play". I had used it back in the day at some video game creating camp I went to as a kid. Its very limited. I never seen a good game made with it to this day although I'm sure its possible.
There are couple not bad games tuck in this collection. 3D Planet Strike is a nice, if simple space shooter. DX Ball 2 is an excellent Arkanoid clone, and Drain Storm is a great puzzle game. Also there is an odd game called Booger which seems to be coded by Derek Yu, of Spelunky fame Overall this collection is great if only because it really seems to fill the whole disc (iso is iirc 593MB big) with ton of weird crap, and that's what makes those collections interesting after all these years.
Ugh. Actually, it could have been better to show an black screen instead of of that 'graphic' between each game. That staring clown is slightly disconcerting, i tried to resist looking at it each time it showed up but i couldn't for some wierd reason.
28:24 dat Kingpin OST tho. Not only that game is one of the most violent games ever in my opinion but it also has some... interesting american-italian stereotype voice acting, could be interesting to see Vinny react to it.

Well whadaya know, they shove two collections onto one disk, with x word on line y "copy protection" to prevent me from playing a smaller version of the EXACT SAME collection Vinny played! (Shares the same cover, minus the clown on top. Also, both programs use the same install menu/system) Maybe I should send Vinny the installer?
In addition, Lowtax "reviewed" Battlepets way back in 2000 on Something Awful btw.
MrWolfSnack I assumed he used a virtual machine because the installer for my collection is inexplicably 16 bit; and as such doesn't install in 64 bit Windows, even if the games work just fine.
30:03 I love how it sounds like they're saying 'help...'
1:58:09 A.K.A Rocket League: the crappy pedestrian version
33:14 vinny takes a fat rip out of a bong
Apperantly Balls Invasion high score music is a sample from "16 Men Till There's No Men Left".
Absolutely wonderful.
21:52 Bad Toys: Damn, I just had a major flashback.
I had a CD back in the day called "2000 Shareware Games" for Windows 3.1. I remember a significant amount of trash on it, but that didn't stop Young Bab Dexcat from trying to find _something_ worthwhile in there.
It was all in vain.
That BattlePets game was on the computers at my school about 17 years ago. It looks just as I remember it, but about 5 times as much.
37:57 Begone, Thoc.
1:00:00 Begone, Thoth.
As a side note, ET's Turbo pig bash's main menu music was stolen from another windows 95 game called Nebula Fighter, which was an awesome shmup.
What song is that (1:21:00) on the Death Assult title screen? I know it but I can't think of it >_
"Inside Out" by Eve 6
Thanks!
Oh god, you even got to see Brutal Space, and it looks like its still confusing as ever. When I was little, I thought this game was from China. I always thought the death sound was saying "Our ship!" But my brother insists it was "oh shit."
49:50 out of all midis and they choose that song....
What song is that? I'm guessing it's Nirvana, but what song?
@@Takimeko it's not nirvana
What's the music?
You know, Shooting Varmints reminds me of another game; Shootin' Balons!
Er, sorry, I mean Hootin' Ballons!
Hootin' balloos*
Shoo-ting Balls in.
Balloons, Shooting Balloons. *I knew that*
How many more times will Vinny tell that "this is my sanic game for the year" joke?
The man is going senile.
1:30:42 I think that looks like SNES Mario Circuit that was chewed and spat out onto a video game
Would like to know what music that is at the beginning of BattlePets? 29:20
Sounds kinda catchy.
I actually remember "Klik N Play". I had used it back in the day at some video game creating camp I went to as a kid. Its very limited. I never seen a good game made with it to this day although I'm sure its possible.
So many of these were made with a software package called GamesFactory. I had it growing up. The stock assets are used in so many of these.
Fun fact about the developers of BoaBite3D: They both went on to work at RedLynx, AKA the Trials company.
Vinny, I and so many other people would probably pay you money to listen to you sing lullabies. You have the perfect voice for it.
Just loop the bit starting at 1:10:02
1:31:41

_The gram is 3d_
There are couple not bad games tuck in this collection. 3D Planet Strike is a nice, if simple space shooter. DX Ball 2 is an excellent Arkanoid clone, and Drain Storm is a great puzzle game. Also there is an odd game called Booger which seems to be coded by Derek Yu, of Spelunky fame
Overall this collection is great if only because it really seems to fill the whole disc (iso is iirc 593MB big) with ton of weird crap, and that's what makes those collections interesting after all these years.
Vance, can you get the full version of 40:43 - Brutal Space and do a full playthru? Thanx
Ugh. Actually, it could have been better to show an black screen instead of of that 'graphic' between each game. That staring clown is slightly disconcerting, i tried to resist looking at it each time it showed up but i couldn't for some wierd reason.
28:24 dat Kingpin OST tho. Not only that game is one of the most violent games ever in my opinion but it also has some... interesting american-italian stereotype voice acting, could be interesting to see Vinny react to it.
I mean I stared at the ass the entire time but you do you
"Don't ya want your balloon, Jimmy?"
u r cool friend i like u
Milk-Proof Robot Oh, you "won" a miniscule comment war on the fucking internet. _Good for you._
Loved it so much I had to watch it a second time.
ur poo poo STANK
The fact that this collection was released commercially and that people payed money for this saddens me.
The very first time I heard the Stone Temple Pilots song "Plush" was in MIDI form in one of these games.
Vinny finds a shareware game i couldnt find that i played as a kid. Epic.
I don't understand why you're surprised they're all sharewares and demos.
It's a compilation of them, they were super common back when.
Jape me
Jape me again
Jape me
MIDIs once again
Am I the only one (Who loves MIDIs)
28:25 Cypress Hill - 16 men till there's no men left, they took the loop from Kingpin: Life of Crime
1:33:04 sums this game up pretty well
