I'm really proud of you completing this while maintaining calm composure throughout. I only played this for few minutes and gave up.. Over the years seeing this game fully finished on various youtube channels it has made me think of a similar gameplay design but make it feel mostly endless like the same gameplay but you play as a dude who has to do his daily shopping, but you're a normal casual citizen who lives on low income, you gotta deal with tough people outside during your trips to the shop. However when your rage gets to max you become a monster n go in reverse level but you game over if you reach the actual point you stopped before hinting that the protagonist did a crime n results in game over , the monster form just falls to the ground n game over (obviously wont show the crime, heck mr hyde did that alot) however to win the game you gotta keep on doing more successful shop trips however you must buy lottery tickets for the protagonists wife who is very fussy on money, you gotta deal with the family's money issues to so if you can't afford the right amount of payments about 3 times in a row that's a game over, so the goal is to keep on doing these endurance shopping trips until you some how get lucky n get money however you must deal with more situations that can take it all away... maybe if the protagonist reaches 1 million £/$ then the whole family becomes stinking rich and lives the high life annnnd you win. I doubt i'll enjoy this game if i went and tried it again now not even with save states or rewind features. But the dual style gameplay im starting to like.
Yeah the management of the two modes makes this one at least worth picking up. It could stand to be a little trimmer, possibly because of the level rehashes like Fluff mentioned but yep.
42:56 Those barrels are an all-time annoying enemy; not just this game. Remember that this is the primary reason why the Angry Video Game Nerd exists. Oh, and that Fluff playing Barbie cameo is just pure gold there.
Haven't messed with this game much. A bit surprised it didn't reach a 10/10 difficulty. Perfect game for the Halloween season though! That last surprise jump scare at the end is a bit creepy at the very least.
Yeah I can make an argument for 10/10, but I made it harder on myself than it actually is in this class by showing it all the way to the end because as Fluff mentioned you don't even really need to play that final and most difficult level if you manage the Jekyll/Hyde tradeoff well.
I probably would have hated this game as a kid, but I appreciate the attempt to make a game where the main character (most of the time) is a regular guy just walking around.
Ha I feel like even Bruce Banner would smack that kid or at least take his slingshot away. But yeah, if you wanted to sell more copies just do a sprite swap with BB and Hulk without changing the gameplay and REALLY swindle some kids out of their $30, heh.
Don't forget about thoroughly disappointed. Just the once, but it lasted the whole time. Good look with the stats, though, feels like the Mario 2 character use count at the end, heh.
I find this game very interesting, just as infuriating based on difficulty. Lol, imo Barbie is worse on my count. Rather go back to my younger years and get mad over Legendary Wings' challenge. XD
I owned this game as a kid and was able to beat it. I am an average gamer. Not an easy game, but playable and beatable. Jekyll and Hyde had some interesting concepts and features. The basic premise is pretty good. The execution and design could have been better. A reasonable game.
At least Fluff, Blaze, and Gary stuck around for this... Unlike Battletoads when they bolted on ya (at least Gary had your back in the end)... And speaking of AVGN, his trilogy of this shitty pile of rotten buffalo guts of a game was one of the best he has ever done. Great class, Professor...
But I thought you hated medusa heads. But look professor look!!! This game has objects with the same movement! More sine wave movement! YOUR FAVOURITE!!! What a special treat this game is! The barrels use sin movement. The psycho wave uses sine and cosine to make the circle patterns and does the coordinate change that is ALSO a sine wave to make the circular pattern that looks like it is moving in a figure eight across the entire screen. Since the NES processor is so slow, the devs would probably used a fixed point math function to do the sin and cos calculation. It's not as good as doing the calculation for real but for these games it good enough. I realized I was spelling sin in the programmer way on previous comments because I'm lazy. I'm sorry, professor. WOOOOO!!!! Sin! Math! I'll go sit in my corner and be good.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a very misunderstood game. I know Professor Brigands will clear up the issues we have with this game. Thank you for your sacrifice in playing this horrid rendition of a classic story.
I remember watching a vid of a coder fixing the issues with the game. Mainly the scrolling and awful timing the bombs have. I also remember AVGN reviewing this game.
Scary in a different way... well maybe not actually. Yeah we'll tackle that/those in time, still funny to me that they titled the game Part 2-3. Their way of understandably saying we're DEFINITELY not making two separate crappy games.
@@VideoGames101 bttf2&3 was pretty fun I thought, for about 20 minutes but the lack of save feature was PAINFUL. I tried beating that game so much as a kid but it was just nonsense. I would've beaten it but there was nothing to navigate by or saving allowed. Sigh.
@@VXA1PSTART I once cosplayed as the AVGN, while playing this game at a local gamer's bar. Got a free rolling rock as I did a word-for-word reenactment of the OG episode of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Dosn't this almost remind you of what happens when Dr. Bruce Banner gets angry? I wonder if Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was what inspired Marvel to create the Incredible Hulk.
How I played this game, back in the day, is getting to the game rental store on Saturday. The only games waiting would be this, or Taboo, or something. Rented it and immediately hated the game. For the 2 days I had this, I tried to give it a chance. To me, this was a game that shouldn't have been on the NES, but on one of the lesser systems. I did think it was funny how the birds dropped coils on you. Looking at it now, I do think the Hyde levels are better. The enemies are pretty cool and the game controls fairly well. The dark background, moon in the sky. Better than that goody two shoes Jekyll.
Yep that's true but it's a narrow window and if you mistime it it can be a deadly mistake for a quick game over. I wish you could just hold up for the duration you wanted to stay concealed to not have to worry about that, but that would've made too much sense from a development perspective.
Imagine getting this for Christmas... I sort of know what it's like. I got Hydlide one Christmas (brothers got 1943 and Gradius). I think hydlide might be a little better than this one. Either way, after this, we didn't let the parents know what we rented unless it was cool.
I think my inner Hyde would've come out had I received this for Christmas. That's a great lesson, though, have to be careful with tipping off/guiding the folks lest you would receive one of these.
I, Thankfully, was able to avoid renting this one. Terrible by all accounts. 40:01 I played barbie at my neighbors house, she was right. All and all, not a bad game. (Edit: time stamp)
If there was ever a game that deserved a remake enabling some _Clockwork Orange_ levels of ultra violence, I think this is it. But that would imply hiring the goons that made this game in the first place. Displaced Gamers even went into how the framerate of this game was so atrocious and irregular.
*Kills a bee* I killed something. The one thing in the game and its a pathetic stupid bee. I once actually played this. Its not bad but I didn't play very far. Speaking of bad games have you done a class on tailspin? That game definitely has a bunch of rage moments. Just everything about the game is awful. And this is a Capcom game. Capcom the company that made great games like mega man. I guess not all games can be winners
Ha I did play Tailspin in the last couple years and actually put insulting words over top of the melody of the one of the stages, to your point. We'll see if they make it to the class when we inevitably do it.
Worst game ever. I always laugh when I see channels putting out videos like "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde does NOT suck!". Anything to be contrarian, I guess.
Yeah I think you nailed it. I acknowledge as I did in the video that the game within the game of the management of the two modes is a bit interesting in making it to the final goal, but you definitely can't successfully argue this is a good game.
@@VideoGames101 It's an interesting idea on paper. This could have worked as an RPG or as a story based game with multiple paths, but this version is just bizarre. Still had fun watching this. I don't think I ever understood this game even after watching the AVGN vids but now I at least see what they were going for.

Sewage wrapped vegetables is mysterious
Yet it's the perfect analogy!
Meow sound effect is so good.
Ha I was hearing it for days after finishing this class.
I'm really proud of you completing this while maintaining calm composure throughout.

Regular citizens don't charge at you UNLESS the mad bomber shows up, that's the moment when they start panicking...
Good call! Everyone in town knows he's the bomber, where's the Constable!?
Another childhood weekend rental redeemed. Thanks, prof!
Heh we're getting them one at a time!
You a real man for doing this task!
I am so ready for this ride through rage.
Strap in!
Oh this IS that channel I like. I guess I need to watch.
Thank you MuckyPup!
42:56 Those barrels are an all-time annoying enemy; not just this game.
Remember that this is the primary reason why the Angry Video Game Nerd exists.
Oh, and that Fluff playing Barbie cameo is just pure gold there.
Heh that's true, we have a lot to thank this game for!
Blaze really putting in the overtime for this week
Yeah most of our classes have a particular standout TA, and it's undeniably Blaze this week.
Haven't messed with this game much. A bit surprised it didn't reach a 10/10 difficulty. Perfect game for the Halloween season though! That last surprise jump scare at the end is a bit creepy at the very least.
Yeah I can make an argument for 10/10, but I made it harder on myself than it actually is in this class by showing it all the way to the end because as Fluff mentioned you don't even really need to play that final and most difficult level if you manage the Jekyll/Hyde tradeoff well.
A LIVE rage meter? Oh Briggy, you so good to us!
Yep, this week's class demanded it.
Thanks for the scary month of games!
It was a lot of fun!
I'm guessing the Barbie video will have a cameo as the rage meter intrudes upon it, interrupting Fluff as he addresses the Professor across classes.
Ha we'll see!
i look forward to watching someone actually play this.
Haha that's quite the claim, but I know what you mean.
@ sorry if my wording was ambiguous, yeah, I meant watching you slog through this beast of a game
I was getting raged just watching the gameplay and had to take a break.
Ha understandable, understandable.
The pain... The pain...
It's real!
I probably would have hated this game as a kid, but I appreciate the attempt to make a game where the main character (most of the time) is a regular guy just walking around.
Yep, and honestly he jumps higher than he probably should be able to (as I try to spin for a game which came out 30+ years ago, heh).
Jekyll and Hyde may as well be Baner and Hulk
Ha I feel like even Bruce Banner would smack that kid or at least take his slingshot away. But yeah, if you wanted to sell more copies just do a sprite swap with BB and Hulk without changing the gameplay and REALLY swindle some kids out of their $30, heh.
39:50 - wow, thats creative lol
Yeah a lesson you can only learn after receiving a game like this.
24:50 - oh we have a new cat for halloween!
He's back!
imagine a let's Burn With Brigands episode where you take hot sauce every time you turn into Hyde.
Ha that's actually a good suggestion; I've run it enough that I feel confident taking on that challenge in the future.
You were Jekyll Jekyll Hyde Jekyll Hyde Hyde Jekyll! Jekyll Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde!
Don't forget about thoroughly disappointed. Just the once, but it lasted the whole time. Good look with the stats, though, feels like the Mario 2 character use count at the end, heh.
@@VideoGames101 That was an Arthur Reference. From "Arthur's Almost-Live, Not-Real Music Festival"
Great class! Fluff won costume contest! Next year Monster Party?
Yep, I'll add it to the spooky games list!
It's... pronounced... _'JEEEEEK-uuuuuhhhhhlllll!!!'_
_...Ahem._ Fine weather we're 'avin', innit?
Blimey!
One of the hardest and infuriating games of all time
Certainly on the NES, I'm with you, James.
This game is the closest representation to meeting people in real life I’ve ever played. Bombers=homeless btw.
YES!
Been planning this one for awhile!
I find this game very interesting, just as infuriating based on difficulty.
Lol, imo Barbie is worse on my count. Rather go back to my younger years and get mad over Legendary Wings' challenge. XD
This game is one of the few that would benefit from having a Game Journalist difficulty mode.
Ha most definitely. I guess the debug feature Fluff mentions would help, but still.
@@VideoGames101 Even Keyboard Cat has nothing on Fluff.
I owned this game as a kid and was able to beat it. I am an average gamer. Not an easy game, but playable and beatable. Jekyll and Hyde had some interesting concepts and features. The basic premise is pretty good. The execution and design could have been better. A reasonable game.
Yep, I might like it more if it didn't go on as long as it does (assuming you're trying to get Mr. Hyde to the end).
At least Fluff, Blaze, and Gary stuck around for this... Unlike Battletoads when they bolted on ya (at least Gary had your back in the end)... And speaking of AVGN, his trilogy of this shitty pile of rotten buffalo guts of a game was one of the best he has ever done. Great class, Professor...
Thank you! And yeah they weren't spooked by this one like Battletoads (I guess I say in their defense).

Excellent supplementary info. Ha I like the sine waves when they're working FOR us. Also, I loved my TI-89 as much as the next guy.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a very misunderstood game. I know Professor Brigands will clear up the issues we have with this game. Thank you for your sacrifice in playing this horrid rendition of a classic story.
Haha well we certainly have the strategy for getting to the end and beating it, for what that's worth!
In Japan "psycho-" is the prefix they use for psychic powers, while in the US we would use "psi-".
Good supplemental info to help explain their terming there, Tiro.
I remember watching a vid of a coder fixing the issues with the game. Mainly the scrolling and awful timing the bombs have. I also remember AVGN reviewing this game.
Yeah to that anecdote, if I could tweak a few things, this game would be a lot more palatable.
I triple dog dare the Professor and Co to do a class on Back Future 2 -3
Scary in a different way... well maybe not actually. Yeah we'll tackle that/those in time, still funny to me that they titled the game Part 2-3. Their way of understandably saying we're DEFINITELY not making two separate crappy games.

This game was brutal, If you ever do Japanese imports, Ringu Infinity for the Wonderswan would be a great game to use the rage meter with.
Not familiar with that one, but yes there are quite a few games that meter can be applied to indeed.
"He's the Angry, Video Game, Neerrrrrrdddd."
Classic!

@@Xan0789VA Haha from someone in the know.
I paid full price for this game when it first came out. I’m still mad about that.
Haha yeah that would probably stay with me for life, as well.
Dosn't this almost remind you of what happens when Dr. Bruce Banner gets angry? I wonder if Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was what inspired Marvel to create the Incredible Hulk.
It actually was a major inspiration.
Yep, that would make sense that it would've inspired that character, and making it something kids could more easily consume.

Is blaze brigands 😂
Blaze is all of us!
How long has it been since Blaze actually did a beastiery??
It's definitely been awhile.
Inputting that debugging code sounds harder than the actual game.
Yeah when Fluff's on the screen for that long, heh.
I oddly enough don’t hate this game. I admit it’s absolute garbage, but it’s so interesting.
Yeah I agree and admit I find the game within the game mechanic interesting while still acknowledging it plays like garbage.
I, Thankfully, was able to avoid renting this one. Terrible by all accounts. 40:01 I played barbie at my neighbors house, she was right. All and all, not a bad game.

Ha fair point, ZHP.
What is the point of this game? I feel like given the world set up for the player, Dr Jekyll would already be dead!
