Based on how obscure a majority of the games he looks at are, I wouldn't be surprised if they where. A majority (If I remember correctly) end with a fairly similar "haha you're screwed there's still a threat existing" detail, which may tie all these games together.
If thats the case, Polaris's wonky timeline is because he didn't get the dates right and he had to shift the blame to the band to avoid getting found out.
I must say, as much as I wouldn't call this a great or necessarily even fun game, the constant need to; manage resources, be extremely careful when doing anything, the constant never ending need to hurry up, and the looming sense of paranoia at all times really does sound like the work environment of someone trying to clean up a radioactive disaster.
The only real way you can derive fun out of this is the satisfaction of making progress through each level cluster, and having an over-the-top happy ending where you basically are the best hero ever and get all the money, sexual partners, and anything else you'd ever want. THAT's how you end a hard game.
And your reward is... radiation poisoning! Congratulations! You have successfully contained the nuclear fuel rods and prevented a China syndrome event! Due to the amount of radiation your body has absorbed, however, you yourself must be isolated from the rest of society. No returning home, visiting your family, or financial compensation, just some morphine pills to ease your way into an early grave. Oh, by the way, here's a mention in the papers for your efforts. You earned it.

The robot voice Ross uses here, also at the start of the Spiderbot episode sounds a lot like H3mmer I just noticed. I keep expecting him to go "Play the game, Civvie."
I don’t usually like commenting but I have to say this is my favourite channel on TH-cam. Ross stands to be one of the most interesting people I’ve come across ever, he has an incredibly unique outlook on everything almost like he’s stared into the eye of madness and wants to share the tale. This video was uploaded as I was admitted into hospital after being operated on, it’s probably the morphine that’s encouraging me to write this but for someone with a selection of holes cut in him I couldn’t be happier
15:30 This is why Game Dungeon is not just my favourite thing on the internet - it's my favourite _thing_ period. Ross is able to make me angry and upset about stuff I haven't even heard of and will never affect me. I hadn't heard of Quadralien before now, and I knew within seconds of the video starting that I'd never play this game. But now I'm so furious at cheat sites copy-pasting incorrect information that I *have* to see the end of this game. Everything depends on it now. Life has meaning now. [/unpause]
It never fails to amaze me how some old games seem to have crazy and detailed backstories for somewhat simplistic gameplay. One of my favorite examples is "Vangers". The game is basically a top-down driving/trading/fighting open world with destructible environment and freedom of action, but the story is about post-humans-insects, chains of worlds, parallel dimensions, philosophy and what not. Even the game manual is in character. Wonder if Ross has heard of it.
Well, it was localized and people have heard of "Ex Machina (Hard Truck Apocalypse)" from the same studio. But then again, some games that Ross covers are pretty obscure.
As a certified welder, I can say that if they crammed a requirement for a welding cert in the game, that space station would be gone before you’d even be able to take the test.
Also, on the subject of the "otherspace"... That's you breaking out of the level's area in memory and going into the rest of the game data. As you can imagine, wandering around there can cause serious issues, especially if you start giving the "level" what for with the laser. :P
Ross, you are truly insane. But the good kind of insane. The kind that's willing to go to the depths of Hell, just to get answers, and share them with the rest of the world.
I appreciate the amount of effort Ross puts into his videos, he plays the games til the end no matter how retarded or bad the design is to show us the journey and the ending.
Ross finds a completely playable and non dos game that's pretty bad in terms of story only. Ross: "Oh man, fuck no, I can't finish this"! Finds an old dos game with shitty controls, rigged gameplay and floppy saves. Ross: "Yeah, I can get this done in a week or so".
ea sells dlc for their dlc's (sims4) and now this microtrans hopefully will not be the future for gaming but it will take everyone to refuse to purchase these games that ask full price for a game and then charge for saves. / tho microtrans in ftp is ok in my book so long as its decoration(like fortnite)/ doesnt give an unfair advantage (ptw)
yeah but to be fair weve had mmo games do the exact same thing for a long ass time but virtually nobody got pissed off, and some of them were monthly payment-based subscriptions, not one-time purchases but also to be fair, fuck konami for eternity, obviously
This was a wonderful episode, while every Game Dungeon tends to be one of the best things on youtube, This one just felt so deeply intriguing, given the subject material.
Quadralien, Captain Zzap, Baldies, and Contraption Zack are my favorite Game Dungeons alongside Armed and Delirious. There's just something about these really obscure old PC games that really goes well with Ross's style.
Well, there goes people asking me where I got the username from. Come to think of it, I think some friends will say this explains a few things about me, as well. :)
I love games like these, rare they may be. Seeing the game through the eyes of a controller who can only see a simplified/symbolic version of the world being sensed by the technology they are using. I get this same feeling from that game "Duskers" which is actually pretty similar in some ways to Quadralien, wish more devs would use this sort of visual style.
I love your videos Ross! Old video and obscure video games are my crack, and watching your videos are the best way to get them. Thank you so much!! Can't wait for more
Big ups Ross, you introduced me to a new game I've never heard of, then did all the heavy lifting of actually getting it working, and then beating it, all while making an entertaining video about it. Well done, if only the quadraliens didn't get to me first....
Hey Ross, I don't comment much man, but I just thought that I'd thank you for creating content for us that's always top quality and never compromising that despite what you may or may not be dealing with. I've been around these parts since Freeman's Mind's first April fools episode, and lemme tell ya (if you didn't know) but seeing this channel grow and find itself and evolve to what it is has been damn near amazing. From breaking with Machinima, to meeting self-imposed Christmas deadlines, to branching out with other content such as this, and even to content the viewers aren't even aware of yet (THE MOVIE), you've done a shitload for us. So thanks man. I also think I'm a little more self aware now where I'm comfortable saying you were among some of the select few game oriented channels I watched back in high school that cemented my decision to go to university for game development...which may seem a little random but your personality mixed with the content you provide I believe definitely was one of the contributing factors. Hope you're doing well, my guy :)
Wait... You haven't seen aliens like the quadraliens... So what kinda aliens have you seen? Were they Greys? Lizard people? Space farts? Don't pull an admiral on us Ross.
I was one of the five people in the world that played this game as a child. It was confusing as fuck and I never really made much headway, but I loved it for some reason. What a joy to relive it like this! You're the best, Ross. You might have fun with another game I played around that time called "Archipelagos."
I've played an old DOS game once called "Evasion" - it was a 3D game about escaping from alien activity. I found it on some CD-R I got from a friend two decades ago along with Blood shareware and a ton of other DOS games. The CD-R was even called something like 128 DOS Games. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I don't have this CD-R any more. I've tried finding this game online, but there seems to be no trace of it whatsoever. The matters are worsened by the fact that ther's a modern game called "Evasion". If anyone ever stumbles upon it, please let me know. I'm curious what that was, but I was a child back then and I don't remember much of it.
Hey there! So, I’ve found a few different games that may be what you’re talking about. I’ve yet to stumble upon a game just called “Evasion”, but here’s what I HAVE found that fits your description. www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/corridor-7-alien-invasion/ www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/eradicator/ Are any of these what you’re looking for?
Here’s a few more as well. www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=Alien+Cabal&gid=1679 www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=Descent&gid=1237 www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=In+Extremis&gid=976 www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=System+Shock&gid=2522 Hope this helps you find what you’ve been looking for.
Man... My dad's 386 had this game, and at the time I was too young to have ANY hope of ever understanding what was even going on -much less complete more than one or two tasks. I did enjoy the illustrations of the bots, and it was the first game where the time limit stressed me out.
How comes there aren't more views on this video and on the most recent one?? The mysteries of TH-cam again... One creates the best content ever and then nobody sees the videos in their subscription feeds (though, by "nobody" I still mean TENS of THOUSANDS of human beings).
I always find it funny that even when out-of-bounds Ross still cleans up one of the radiation tiles, reality is compromised and collapsing into utter chaos, "but hey look, radiation." *cleans*.
I played Severence: Blade of Darkness the other month and I think you'd like it tough-as-nails 3d RPG from 2001 and it seems to have inspired a lot of the souls-y stuff we see today but its completely forgotten about. It's in dire need of a remake
God damn Ross. I don't think any videos in my subscription box get me more hyped than yours. You've continually produced quality content over the course of YEARS and it always seems to only be getting better and better. These game dungeon videos are so fascinating and I love learning about these old games while listening to your unique perspective on them. Keep up the great work and thank you for the entertainment.
I had this game once, but I couldn’t play it primarily because I had no idea how to use DOS at the time. (It was a VERY long time ago.) So thank you, Ross, for covering this.
Stop me if I'm wrong, but I think that the Quadalien Queen is the kindest final boss in gaming history. Rarely do you get such a sincere apology from the FINAL BOSS. Mini-Bosses, occasionally, certain boss battle aftermaths mid-way through the game? Yes. The last boss/true boss? Rarer than Astatine. You don't even get any direct malice or scorn from her either. Just a self-aware acknowledgement of a lacklustre congratulations in text form.
Everybody at the start of a new Game Dungeon episode: "Yay! New upload from Ross!" Everybody at the middle of a new Game Dungeon episode: "What the fuck."
you seem to have a knack for finding games so obscure that what little info there is out there is wrong. i'd say kudos, but it seems to mostly only frustrate you
so the fate of the protagonist was isolation on a satellite with a few bots for friends? I hope they had some cheesey movies to keep themselves occupied...
God, I love the Game Dungeon. Don't care how long each episode takes, Ross - it's always gold. You're the best; you're the only one on the internet who can find, finish and explain these bizarre little gems! Thanks for the entertainment, dude _* salutes *_
There seem to be a lot of PC games where you control a robot that has to solve puzzles, sometimes they have a laser. Usually aliens are involved. Spiderbot, Maabus and this.
For those wondering what the credit music is, it's part of the Quadralien soundtrack from the Amiga copy. Took a while to find, but here you go: m.th-cam.com/video/Mh2TE8VQWZg/w-d-xo.html
Had this for the Atari 1440. Never understood the objectives, or the meaning of most of the GUI. Never progressed beyond the first level. Still have a positive memory of it, though. ...Actually, maybe it was called '1044', or something. I'm not even sure about that anymore.

Sometimes, I wonder if Ross has the power to will games in existence just to review them in game dungeon.
I don't just wonder. I believe it as fact
Kind of a reverse Mandela effect... where reality is shifted to an alternative timeline where these games existed all along
Based on how obscure a majority of the games he looks at are, I wouldn't be surprised if they where. A majority (If I remember correctly) end with a fairly similar "haha you're screwed there's still a threat existing" detail, which may tie all these games together.
Not all of them, but Spiderbot definitely was one.
If thats the case, Polaris's wonky timeline is because he didn't get the dates right and he had to shift the blame to the band to avoid getting found out.
I like how you beat games that are not only rare, but so rare you cannot even cheat by looking it up on the internet
Your profile pic! IM ENJOYING A TREAT DERRICK
John Smith What're you guys DOING?
it's not cheating to look up how to beat adventure games
That might be why they are rare.
I mean how many people used a god mode cheat in Doom/2?
I know I sure did.
Finally, sweet mercy. I was suffering Game Dungeon Withdrawal.
Raven Dude, yes!
It's a serious condition.
agreed
EXACTLY!
*YES ME TOO*
Ross' exact words: "I've never seen aliens that look like *this*"
Suspicious!
God has blessed him with an interesting life.
He finished that game sent by aliens (without telling us) and got beamed up and had to escape
I must say, as much as I wouldn't call this a great or necessarily even fun game, the constant need to; manage resources, be extremely careful when doing anything, the constant never ending need to hurry up, and the looming sense of paranoia at all times really does sound like the work environment of someone trying to clean up a radioactive disaster.

I'm glad to see The Quadralien queen acting in roles again.
*mother
I'm not your mother.
That's a relief.
This was Game Dungeon Gold. Awards, interesting game, fantastic humor, referencing previous episodes. Top Quality.
Shogun should i watch it, without spoiling anything, if i want to have another one out by playing all previous videos (except carnevil and go to hell)
you were right, it was gold
Shogun
Don't forget about great soundtrack.
Every episode is gold. Every video Ross makes is gold. One of the few content creators where I hit like before I even start the video.
Don't forget unlocking something that isn't available anywhere on the internet (the Level 2 code).
The robot voice Ross uses here, also at the start of the Spiderbot episode sounds a lot like H3mmer I just noticed. I keep expecting him to go "Play the game, Civvie."
“No Python.”
Maybe Civvie's cell is located in a deep level of the Game Dungeon
New Game dungeon? On a game I’ve never remotely heard of? Awesome!
You must follow the same channels I do. Think I've seen you st ForgottenWeapons and Scholaglagiatoria also.
I don’t usually like commenting but I have to say this is my favourite channel on TH-cam. Ross stands to be one of the most interesting people I’ve come across ever, he has an incredibly unique outlook on everything almost like he’s stared into the eye of madness and wants to share the tale.
This video was uploaded as I was admitted into hospital after being operated on, it’s probably the morphine that’s encouraging me to write this but for someone with a selection of holes cut in him I couldn’t be happier
Writing from the future! Hope all those holes healed up
Just like the other guy commented, I too am from the future, and hope you're healed up, pal!
I honestly wonder if this person is okay, I mean he hasn't responded even after 5 months since the first reply. It's really concerning.

wonder if anybody has heard of it outside of ex-ussr
I saw mandaloregaming review it, that game looks pretty crazy
Well, it was localized and people have heard of "Ex Machina (Hard Truck Apocalypse)" from the same studio.
But then again, some games that Ross covers are pretty obscure.
I'll have too look at it. Never finished it myself.
Hold up, Vangers was made by the same studio that made Ex Machina? Goddamn
It's biographical because it shows Ross's ongoing efforts to remove the mould from every place he's ever lived.
As a certified welder, I can say that if they crammed a requirement for a welding cert in the game, that space station would be gone before you’d even be able to take the test.
Is this the spiritual successor to Spiderbot?
Quadralien is the logical, deterministic conscious mind and Spiderbot is the dreamlike, unfathomable subconscious mind.
Nailed it !
*Spiderbot!*
I don't NEED drugs because I already know what I'm going to find, more spider bot.
Is this the prequel?
The sequel?

This is also the ending to the first Descent. Metal indeed.
And Ross used Descent music in the video. Coincidence?

I can’t stop rewatching this series. I do it about once a year.
Also, on the subject of the "otherspace"... That's you breaking out of the level's area in memory and going into the rest of the game data. As you can imagine, wandering around there can cause serious issues, especially if you start giving the "level" what for with the laser. :P
Oh I've been having a shitty day, thank God there's a new Game Dungeon
Every day Ross uploads an episode of Game Dungeon is a good day

Same here man. Same here.
Hope your day got better
"sorry"
I lost it
this whole week ive just been rewatching your old game dungeons and damn you are badass for uploading right when my spreee was done
Ross, you are truly insane. But the good kind of insane. The kind that's willing to go to the depths of Hell, just to get answers, and share them with the rest of the world.
Oh shiiiit, the Quadralien theme is a David Whittaker track! No wonder its sick as hell.
"I can tell whoever wrote this had some aspirations here."
That line made me giggle a bit.
I appreciate the amount of effort Ross puts into his videos, he plays the games til the end no matter how retarded or bad the design is to show us the journey and the ending.
DrGhostrich no, not always.

This couldn't have been published at a better time.
Love that Descent background music

Big ups Ross, you introduced me to a new game I've never heard of, then did all the heavy lifting of actually getting it working, and then beating it, all while making an entertaining video about it. Well done, if only the quadraliens didn't get to me first....
I was literally just thinking about how awesome it would be, if there was a Game Dungeon episode released today. That's freaky.

EDIT: Also... that ending message was ingenius.
This is my favorite youtube video of all time. I watched a million times and always cracked up
Wait... You haven't seen aliens like the quadraliens... So what kinda aliens have you seen? Were they Greys? Lizard people? Space farts? Don't pull an admiral on us Ross.
I didn't remember the number. I guess I have to commit Seppuku now or something.
Darkan you just have to cut off three testicals to preserve your honor. Just like those old Japanese games.
I think Sudoku will suffice.

I'm sure it doesn't mean anything.

How comes there aren't more views on this video and on the most recent one?? The mysteries of TH-cam again... One creates the best content ever and then nobody sees the videos in their subscription feeds (though, by "nobody" I still mean TENS of THOUSANDS of human beings).
I always find it funny that even when out-of-bounds Ross still cleans up one of the radiation tiles, reality is compromised and collapsing into utter chaos, "but hey look, radiation." *cleans*.
I enjoy that Ross's Channels videos usually get the same if not more views than his subscriber count shows that he has a dedicated following and more.
It's nice that you gave the Quadralien mother her own credit. She worked hard to get that role.

"Sometimes, your best just isn't good enough."
Sums up my love life quite well.
My life, generally
After just finishing a trip from Connecticut to Georgia, a new Game Dungeon is a good remedy for my soreness.
Awesome I been re watching all the older dungeon videos. these are the only thing I can play help me fall asleep. I love these videos so much.
*enthusiastically* Spiderbot!
Stop me if I'm wrong, but I think that the Quadalien Queen is the kindest final boss in gaming history. Rarely do you get such a sincere apology from the FINAL BOSS. Mini-Bosses, occasionally, certain boss battle aftermaths mid-way through the game? Yes. The last boss/true boss? Rarer than Astatine.
You don't even get any direct malice or scorn from her either. Just a self-aware acknowledgement of a lacklustre congratulations in text form.
Everybody at the start of a new Game Dungeon episode: "Yay! New upload from Ross!"
Everybody at the middle of a new Game Dungeon episode: "What the fuck."
You bring pure joy to my life Ross when I see your videos in my feed.
They're always good. +1 my friend
you seem to have a knack for finding games so obscure that what little info there is out there is wrong. i'd say kudos, but it seems to mostly only frustrate you
so the fate of the protagonist was isolation on a satellite with a few bots for friends? I hope they had some cheesey movies to keep themselves occupied...
God, I love the Game Dungeon. Don't care how long each episode takes, Ross - it's always gold. You're the best; you're the only one on the internet who can find, finish and explain these bizarre little gems! Thanks for the entertainment, dude _* salutes *_
There seem to be a lot of PC games where you control a robot that has to solve puzzles, sometimes they have a laser. Usually aliens are involved.
Spiderbot, Maabus and this.
For those wondering what the credit music is, it's part of the Quadralien soundtrack from the Amiga copy. Took a while to find, but here you go: m.th-cam.com/video/Mh2TE8VQWZg/w-d-xo.html
Parenthasees Thanks!
David Whittaker rules!

Freakin love this gentleman’s commentary
I keep coming back to these dungeons
Damn ross... im so used to watching these game dungeons right before i drift off to sleep, the end credits song being so sick is throwing me off
A92F yes master.
Wait, shouldn't there be the awards summary at the end?
To be fair, the game should have had an ending at the end, so turnabout is fair play.
Awards: God Fist
that "sorry" was amazing :D
Kinda makes up for the game, kinda
God, Ross. You're a hero we don't know we needed.
Had this for the Atari 1440. Never understood the objectives, or the meaning of most of the GUI. Never progressed beyond the first level. Still have a positive memory of it, though.
...Actually, maybe it was called '1044', or something. I'm not even sure about that anymore.
AM I AN IDIOT OR WERE THERE ONLY TWO AWARDS
FUTURE10S There is a third award. Sequalbait!
The award is "Oops" in Follow Up Episode 3 or 4.
Some games get only one award by him ;)
This is actually legitimately good cosmic horror.
Exactly what I needed today. I vaguely remembered this looking at it, think it used to be part of the Encyclopedia of Games collection.
Thanks for the vid, Ross :)
Yes! I'm dropping my homework to watch this. :D
TheRockstarr33 Don't do school. Stay in Game Dungeon.
Has to be one of the tougher games to go through. I applaud you, good sir. Brutal but doable seems to be Ross' comfort zone
This episode is legendary.
I give it 9 choosable robots out of 10
If it's "Incoming" and "Incoming Forces" I'll have to ask how you got it work. Cause I can't run it whatsoever on Windows 10.
13:11 Seems like Konami took a lesson from Nyet 3 with Metal Gear Survive
Awesome episode. I'm so glad we have you to go through these old games for us. I think it would drive me insane.
Loving the gags. Loving the game dungeon. Need more of it. Fuck it, I'm binge watching the whole series again.
