Skunny can be a tough, unfair and glitchy game. To prove it to you I have uploaded a Skunny fail-compilation too: th-cam.com/video/V1ZzGfRbjLA/w-d-xo.html
Ah, good old Copysoft. -Threatens to sue people who violate their copyrights. -Has an entire library of games that use stacks of sounds from copyrighted material, up to and including The Simpsons. This is what first brought me to the channel some time ago, but the comment is long overdue. Thank you for playing this so we don't have to.
@@bbzz1824 As somebody who was alive and playing games in its time, no it was not, it was clunky and poorly designed even for the early 90's, there were far better platform games, even on PC at the time this was released.
I am way younger than you. I was playing this in probably the early 00s. Old and outdated. I still found it entertaining. To each his own @@yellowblanka6058
Nah, cult classic have some kind of redeeming qualities/niche appeal, the Skunny games are just mediocre and frustrating. There were/are far better platformers.
I got this game around 1995, and it was probably the shareware version. Never got ahead of that guy in level 1 that charges you 10 coins to pass. Always remembered the weird vertical scrolling when you jump that looks off. Wow, 10 levels with one shitty song in the whole game. Each level is an endurance test, not really a typical platformer, in here you have to plan every move otherwise it's game over. Needing to find hidden coins everywhere to pay those guys seems too harsh. Also why Skunny throws bombs is an unexplained mystery. I'm surprised they included the chef as a final boss though. Those lion naked men are so weird, and the giant bird creatures with wrong perspective are so funny. What a terrible game, those help screens talking about copyright, and boasting about 256 colours (they seem to use like 40 in this game). Was fun to see what I missed.
Yeah, I'm always amazed to read nostalgic/positive comments on videos for games like this - were the Skunny games literally the only games they had access to or something? I can think of dozens of other platformers available at the time, even on the PC, that would have been infinitely more playable than this crap.
Terrible controls, awful game design and one song through the whole game. I used to play this for hours as a kid but thankfully it was a shareware version so I couldn't torture myself for more than two stages. This game feels much nicer in my memories than what it actually is. I can't be bothered to play this even for its nostalgic value so that's why I'm grateful you decided to pull this through!
The jumping in this game always pissed me off. When you jump, Skunny actually GAINS speed which can really throw you off. Lots of missed platforms and failed jumps.
Wholeheartedly agree - I'm amazed people are nostalgic for games like this. Did they literally only ever play Skunny games and never experience any other video-games or something? That's the only scenario that I can imagine anybody liking these games - if they were the only games they were ever exposed to or something.
A single, shitty song. Same enemies the whole game. Pointless mascot attempt with a text ending? I skipped ahead a lot and this was STILL the longest 5 years of my life
@@Dosgamert You've got more patience than I would have - put it to you this way, I would rather re-play the DOS port of Street Fighter II than play through this.

Gotta love how a musician with a lyre is far more dangerous than a Roman Centurion with a weapon he never actually uses, lol.
I got this game free with some deal from pizza hut. No idea why it came to my memory 25+ years later
It was a pretty cool game for its time

I was always frustrated by the controls. Thank you for memorializing this cult classic with a proper longplay!
Glad I could help! If you want to see the frustration, I have done a livestream of Skunny too... th-cam.com/video/heGKlRSEDl4/w-d-xo.html

I guess what I’m saying is I’d wear a skunny tshirt 🐿️🍕💣🏛️
Holy shit the scream when a music man is exploded by a bomb is Sam Kinison screaming AHHHHHHHH
I think it's a pitched up Homer Simpson scream.
I've added chapters to this longplay video so you can navigate easily between different levels!
I played this game on a CD called Zodiac 50 pack games. This was back in 1996. I remember it because of the fox.

This game remains a mystery! It wasn't easy to finish it!

Yeah, it's as if the developer/designer had never played any other platformers (hell, video-games) before or something.
A very hard game. I've never seen those later levels. What patience you have!
Bro, the memories 😭
Check out my Skunny livestreams too!
Though I never made it past the 1st level… I’ll say it I loved this game haha the dos magic is there the game is rough but it’s still beautiful 🤩
Check out my fails video too!

Jesus I couldn't find the coins in the arena for the life of me. Then I have to find out there's still 5 levels after that. Absolutely nope
Wow this sucks way more than I ever thought it did. And I thought it sucked really hard a long time ago.

Totally agree with you. Playing through this, I should ve awarded a medal.

Where have I heard that scream before?
This was way before SpongeBob, though…
Oh, right!
@@naif555 I know I heard it in other games before, though.
It is Sam Kinison, legendary comedian.
Eu cheguei primeiro
Puts, vc realmente foi rápido como o Ligeirinho
There’s no apostrophe in “pizzas”. Please fix the title of this video.
Oki
@@Dosgamert why “oki” and not “okay”?
@@Duvmasta Okay
@@Dosgamert why did you respond with an “oki”?
@@Duvmasta does it really matter? I am on a phone remote from home. Wasn't to offend you 'okay'?
