nonh1 well if you mean the movie I think it is rather good although it is tough to categorize cause it’s not just a normal action movie. Charles Dance is without a doubt an incredible villian in the movie lol
Thank you for mentioning True Lies! Rarely does that game get any mention anywhere else on nostalgia SNES games, and it's a damn crime considering how fun (and bloody) that game really is.
This game was ok. Not incredible but decent isometric action. Surprising it turned down to be maybe one of the only two or three movie based titles on the system that are worth playing
@@Bubba__Sawyer What was "kid friendly" about that movie? You have to be talking about a different No Escape because the one from 1994 was rated R and had a decent amount of violence...
I like your channel ... you don’t talk down to your viewers intelligence, and you don beg for subscribers at the end of your videos ... it’s refreshing ... liked and subscribed 👍🏾
Just a quick correction but Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures was developed by Factor 5 of Turrican fame. The Super Star Wars games were developed by Sculptured Software.
I wondered how they got sprite rotation (the giant boulder) to work, as the SNES didn't natively support sprite rotation without the SuperFX chip. But of course the boulder is an image on the otherwise black background layer, which can be rotated in mode 7.
I enjoyed Alien 3 also... scrambling around tunnels and levels while trying to ration ammo, with xenomorphs popping out of nowhere at you... planning your route strategically at the terminals... and the music really matched the atmosphere.
Which stars a lot of famous actors, like Lance Herinksen, Ernie Hudson, and of course, Ray Liotta the action is very well done and is very satisfying to watch!!
That Bruce Lee game has really great music for SNES (actually most of games you mentioned have good sound design - Lawnmower Man, RoboCop 3 etc.). Also I like how you can continue your game even after death by beating ominous samurai ghost (really creepy atmosphere for movie-licensed 16-bit game).
Another fantastic video. Spot on with everything you said but I do love the SNES Jurassic Park. The game itself was great and the soundtrack is amazing. Some of the best SNES music in my humble opinion.
I remember to beat cutthroat Island a long time ago. Me too would put it on my list, 'cause the game can be really fun when you accept the challenge and memorize the patterns. I think they could've polish a bit more of the game, it could deliver to the player a bigger promisse.
I really enjoy these video, and thats the reason why (combined with my OCD) I must say it's not on your "Lists" playlist. And yes, I already made a few of these comments =) Cheers! OK, this is 13th comment in last hour or so. I hope all those comments and views and ads hope your channel to grow =) And thank you for all your great videos!
Guess I'm one of the 5 who liked Last Action Hero (the movie) too. Great video as always, Drunk! Lots of solid content and guidance in this one. Keep it up.
I know a lot of people (including myself) that liked the movie, I must have watched several hundred times in the 90s thanks to it being replayed constantly on HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz and Encore during the summer.
The kid ruins it for a lot of people, and to be fair he is really annoying. But still it's got some great jokes, "How did you know there was a guy in there?" "There's always a guy in there."
I played and kinda liked it as well, without even watching movies. Even if it was obvious it is not that great. On PC though. Big nicely drawn characters, driving stages.. Standards were lower back then, especially among owners of a low-end PCs.
I love you! Please don't dog No Escape without seeing it. It's actually pretty good and got thumbs up from Ebert. Aside from that tiny off topic point-another awesome video
The Soundtrack to Waterworld was made by Dean Evans. He also made other great video game music, like an unused song for the SNES Flintstone's and the cancelled Green Lantern game. He has his own TH-cam channel, which goes by his name, with alot of high quality game music uploads and also background stories to the songs.
oh wow! you have gotten alot of subscribers... i never thought about it before now but it sure has grown. congratulations, its well deserved. also, good video as usual
Dragon-The Bruce Lee Story,is actually a very good fighting game.It has an in depth combat system,with 3 different fighting styles,that you activate by building up your ''chi-meter''.If you build up enough ''chi'',you can pull out a nunchaku and trust me,you will need it.The game is also pretty hard,has great animations(if you're a Bruce Lee fan you will recognise many iconic moves),cool soundtrack incl. music from Lalo Schifrin's ''Enter the Dragon'' soundtrack,speaking off,you actually fight the villain of this movie and an opponent who looks like Jim Kelly.It also has a co-op mode The negatives:it's very short,you can finish it in less then half an hour and in multiplayer versus-mode ,you can't play as the opponents,only as different coloured Bruce Lee's.
No bullshit, there is a Cutthroat Island kiosk in the Maritime Museum in Beaufort, NC. It's located in a section for pirate and sailing themed entertainment along with some Muppet Treasure Island and the original Treasure Island movie stuff... all in the same museum as a bunch of artifacts found in the wreckage of Blackbeard's ship, The Queen Anne's Revenge!
Another great video! Good job man, so many titles to analyse. MM Power Rangers is my favorite of these. Really fun and unique beat'em up. 3 Ninjas have really good graphics. Wasn't expecting that.
The last action hero was a great movie, ahead of its time. Demolition man is amazing. A lot of people hate it for its difficulty, but it's actually really nice. And it never gets boring.
I was going to rebuke you for the one on one fighting games and beat em ups; then I realized this was titled “What Games based on Action Movies etc” not “What Action Games based on Action Movies etc.” Very good, Mr. Drunk, very good.
Well, that Power Rangers game wasn't really based on the movie considering that the only thing from the movie in it is the final boss being Ivan Ooze, the villain from the movie. Everything else from in the game is just from the TV show.
As a kid, i had Waterworld for the virtual boy. Horrible experience. Didnt know about the snes version. Looks like it was better. Ill have to load it on my snes mini.
Man you were REALLY lenient on Lethal Weapon. I got the game pretty recently and, of the 30-something SNES carts I own (not counting duplicates), it's the only one I own that I would truly label as "awful." Can't shoot while ducking (even though the enemies can do it just fine), can't shoot while on the ladder, boring and/or confusing level design (depending on the mission) and terrible enemy placement where you sometimes have no choice but to take a hit. One such instance was while I was on a ladder so I fell to the bottom and had to climb back up only to take another bullet I couldn't avoid. If that's not horse shit, I don't know what is.
I am amazed your the first to mention snes Bruce Lee game I forgot about that I watch alot of gamer channels too I remember renting it from block buster and being in shock of the awesomeness ( applause)
The guy said “big meat headed” so I stopped watching because it’s NOT NICE TO BODY SHAME PEOPLE! Gamers are some of the most disgusting and awesome people at the same time but I don’t support plain body shaming. Especially when it includes my childhood heroes Stallone and Arnie! And van damnnn lol
Dude, love your videos. Could you add a list of "good" and "bad" in your comments section? I'm from MN as well, I laughed hard when you talked about the pains of NBA Jam and the sad player options for T-wolves. They could update NBA Jam every year and include it in the new NBA games
Cliffhanger use to make me cry....physically,and mentally. I was so excited to play it but I should have know better,I won it at the arcade for like 5000 tickets.
If you haven't seen No Escape, give it a chance. I actually really enjoy it. Also another action movie from the 90's nobody has heard of is Perfect Weapon with Jeff Speakman. Enjoy your day.
Indiana Jones' greatest Adventures is great, it was everything an Indy fan could want back in the early 90s. I recall Cutthroat Island being completely panned at the time, like 3/10 panned. Last Action Hero is quite possibly the worst game I've played on the SNES.
Indiana, the problem is that it's one of those try and error, games. You only enjoy after playing tons of times and memorizing the stages. Like Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
I actually remember both of my older brother's playing the True Lies game back in the day. I never got around to playing it back then I think it was just a rental from Hollywood Video to be honest. Yeah we did have Blockbuster Video in town but we like going to Hollywood Video instead which was pretty cool at the time.
Just like with the said movies that these games portrayed they were hit or miss lol that terminator jump was just awful but too funny! Cool video Drunk!
Anyone notice that the Judge Dredd character/uniform is from the comic rather than the film's toned-down one? I may be mistaken, but there are other references to the comics. Perhaps the devs were fans prior or following 'research'
I love last action hero but the snes game was one of the worst birthday gifts I ever choose for myself. I picked it over star fox what an idiot. I love the vids man keep up the great work.
I had Judge Dredd for the Genesis. It was not bad for a movie game but I got lost in the levels a lot because of those dumb ladders I would never notice.
I rented Last Action Hero from a local video store after it came out and I remember being confused by it. I was young, naïve, and it was the first time I had played a game that was no fun to play and had absolutely no redeeming qualities. I kept thinking I was missing something and continued playing waiting for something good to happen, but it never did.
I also love Last Action Hero. 99.99% of the time when people say something was too smart for people to get it, they're just being dickheads, but there are a few times when I think it applies. Starship Troopers is one of them, and I think LAH is another. Not that they're Crime and Punishment or anything, they're not hyper intellectual, but they have the appearance of being stupid so the genuinely thoughtful critique went missed by a lot of people. LAH really is a wonderful exploration on the topic of violence post 1970s cinema. It really cleverly explores how movie violence is both related to and distinct from real world violence. Worth a critical analysis or two :)
True Lies was the only action movie game that was any good on SNES. FYI: Timecop, the movie, is based on a comic book. Hence the comic cover on the game.
I admit I'm one of the four or five people in the world who loved Last Action Hero.
Same. We are dozens!(Maybe)
nonh1 well if you mean the movie I think it is rather good although it is tough to categorize cause it’s not just a normal action movie. Charles Dance is without a doubt an incredible villian in the movie lol
I'm one of the 12 people in the world who hasn't seen Last Action Hero, but knows enough about it to question why people hate it
I was going to say, Last Action Hero is amazing.
No you’re wrong we all loved that game it was very Unique gameplay and super challenging
YES TRUE LIES!! Among all the dog crap I rented back in the day, True Lies was a total hidden gem, I had a blast playing that one.
Waterworld music is very relaxing, Donkey Kong underwater levels level of relaxation 😂
That Shane McMahon comment was hilarious and spot on
Armateras it isn’t Shane McMahon in that game unless he is jumping off something very high, like a steel cage, lol
As soon as he said it I did a double take and was like... yup definitely him!
I died.. it definitely looked like Shane O Mac 😆
My GF heard that comment and had to check it out too lmao
Thank you for mentioning True Lies! Rarely does that game get any mention anywhere else on nostalgia SNES games, and it's a damn crime considering how fun (and bloody) that game really is.

José Marques Def debatable with your first statement, but I respect your opinion. I do agree with the second though.
This video had my sister and I cracking up, I love how straightforward you are and we lost our shit when you said " this game is bullshit".
Man, I just stumbled on your videos just yesterday and I've been watching non stop since. I really appreciate your videos!
I loved last actuon hero as a kid. The over-the-top parodic action was just fun. Like when he doinf continuous flips off the top of the sky scraper.
No Escape is an underrated movie. It was good.
It would've been better if it had a hard R rating. Felt a bit kid friendly.
@@Bubba__Sawyer What was "kid friendly" about that movie? You have to be talking about a different No Escape because the one from 1994 was rated R and had a decent amount of violence...
@@Bubba__Sawyerbeheadings are kid friendly?
Nice video. I like the idea of reviewing a specific genre, makes it handy for someone looking for a game similar to one they already know they love.
One of the best video game review channels on youtube. I really like how you make your videos. and checked out some games because of your suggestions.
Thanks for watching
That waterworld music at the end though ...beautiful
I've always loved last action hero. Great flick.
I like your channel ... you don’t talk down to your viewers intelligence, and you don beg for subscribers at the end of your videos ... it’s refreshing ... liked and subscribed 👍🏾
Thanks, that's the idea
Arnold looks like Hank Hill in Terminator 2 on SNES.
Just a quick correction but Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures was developed by Factor 5 of Turrican fame. The Super Star Wars games were developed by Sculptured Software.
I love Factor 5.
I wondered how they got sprite rotation (the giant boulder) to work, as the SNES didn't natively support sprite rotation without the SuperFX chip. But of course the boulder is an image on the otherwise black background layer, which can be rotated in mode 7.
Terminator 2: Garbage Day!!!
The only thing in the morning to look forward to
I enjoyed Alien 3 also... scrambling around tunnels and levels while trying to ration ammo, with xenomorphs popping out of nowhere at you... planning your route strategically at the terminals... and the music really matched the atmosphere.
No Escape aka Escape from Absolom is a flawed but enjoyable flick. Worth checking out.
Which stars a lot of famous actors, like Lance Herinksen, Ernie Hudson, and of course, Ray Liotta
the action is very well done and is very satisfying to watch!!
This was my favorite movie on the rent store back then.
the power ranger super nintendo games were amazing to play. movie game was hard but still fun.
True lies was such a sweet game... A big part of my childhood.. maybe the reason I was so bad at school for a year. Loved that game
thanks for the video. your channel really helps me find games I havent heard of
Thank you for watching
Thanks for making this list it will save me a lot of time.
That Bruce Lee game has really great music for SNES (actually most of games you mentioned have good sound design - Lawnmower Man, RoboCop 3 etc.). Also I like how you can continue your game even after death by beating ominous samurai ghost (really creepy atmosphere for movie-licensed 16-bit game).
I played the jaguar version. didn't even know there was a snes version
It's an amazing game with hidden depth. Music is stunning and it's got a 3 player mode.
Thanks 7
Another fantastic video. Spot on with everything you said but I do love the SNES Jurassic Park. The game itself was great and the soundtrack is amazing. Some of the best SNES music in my humble opinion.

No Escape analysis: "Anyway, this game is bullshit." Concise and descriptive. I love it.
Jeffrey Wachter cool. I love the game too.
I also loved Last Action Hero... really ahead of it’s time
True Lies is one of my childhood favorites, sadly i never finished it.
After watching this video i will have a great rest of my day! Thank you SNES drunk ❤
"Heh, this guy doesn't even know how to use the three seashells."
Last Action Hero featuring Shane O'Mac lol
Demolition Man was my favourite game for a while, back in the day.
The music at the end is 🔥🔥🔥
Finally, found someone who shares my love for The Last Action Hero
I really enjoy these video, and thats the reason why (combined with my OCD) I must say it's not on your "Lists" playlist.
And yes, I already made a few of these comments =)
Cheers!
OK, this is 13th comment in last hour or so. I hope all those comments and views and ads hope your channel to grow =)

Yup Alien 3 is an awesome game, its definitely in my top 25 SNES games
Nice. Thanks. I'm buying It soon
True Lies is way underrated.. excellent movie, excellent game tie in.

I thought everyone liked it.
"It's a beautiful day and we're out killing drug dealers...are there any in the house?"
I played and kinda liked it as well, without even watching movies. Even if it was obvious it is not that great. On PC though. Big nicely drawn characters, driving stages.. Standards were lower back then, especially among owners of a low-end PCs.
I love you! Please don't dog No Escape without seeing it. It's actually pretty good and got thumbs up from Ebert. Aside from that tiny off topic point-another awesome video
I wonder what sold more: Tickets for Cutthroat Island or the game?
probably the game since they made an adptation of the movie almost to all the actual platforms of the time.
Neither, lol.

Whoa whoa whoa! Last action hero rocked sir!
Last action hero is an awesome film! No escape is a good
Film to!
Seems like no game can get Arnold right. Looks like John Goodman in T2.
John Goodman cosplaying Arnold, but then having the body language of Frankenstein's Monster when he jumps
Looked like hank hill. “I’ll be back, I’ll tell ya what”
The last action hero was a great movie, ahead of its time.
Demolition man is amazing. A lot of people hate it for its difficulty, but it's actually really nice. And it never gets boring.

EXACTLY! This channel should have been over after that comment.
Well, that Power Rangers game wasn't really based on the movie considering that the only thing from the movie in it is the final boss being Ivan Ooze, the villain from the movie. Everything else from in the game is just from the TV show.
Literally called the movie.

I'm going to bed so I can have a good rest of my day
I laughed at that clip of Cliffhanger where your character is climbing and the bad guy just shoots at you from a ledge.
You're not the only one who loves Last action Hero!

Bro that Shane McMan comment was perfect at 5:21! 😂
One of the cool things about Dragon The Bruce Lee Story were the three player fights. If you had a multitap then that mode was a good laugh.
"I'd avoid this game."
Imagine how often that'll be said in the 2040s when people are sifting through the remnants of 8th generation console gaming.
The guy said “big meat headed” so I stopped watching because it’s NOT NICE TO BODY SHAME PEOPLE! Gamers are some of the most disgusting and awesome people at the same time but I don’t support plain body shaming. Especially when it includes my childhood heroes Stallone and Arnie! And van damnnn lol

I really like Lawnmower Man for snes, I dont play it to much but I liked what I played.
In Lethal Weapon, You can switch to Murtal by going to the lockers in stage select part of the game
I loved Last Action Hero the movie! First time I actually listened to any Megadeth. Friggin fell in love with Angry Again.
Cliffhanger use to make me cry....physically,and mentally. I was so excited to play it but I should have know better,I won it at the arcade for like 5000 tickets.
The Water World movie was a good flick...🤘🏼💯✔️
True Lies is one of the best shoot-em-ups on SNES, no question. Its perfect 16-bit fun.

here comes the money
DOLLA DOLLA

Hi Drunk. May I suggest "Video games based in anime series / OVAs"?. Regards.
Stashblade lol
You are absolutely right. The Arnold character from Last Action Hero DOES look like Shane-O-Mac!
3:01 So, is this game similar to Contra 3 or Alien Syndrome? Also is Jurassic Park similar too?
I actually remember both of my older brother's playing the True Lies game back in the day. I never got around to playing it back then I think it was just a rental from Hollywood Video to be honest. Yeah we did have Blockbuster Video in town but we like going to Hollywood Video instead which was pretty cool at the time.

No Escape with Ray Liotta and Stuart Wilson is a great film! You should give it a viewing.
Anyone notice that the Judge Dredd character/uniform is from the comic rather than the film's toned-down one? I may be mistaken, but there are other references to the comics. Perhaps the devs were fans prior or following 'research'
Your cideos are just the best
You can use the SNES mouse in the first person segments of Jurassic Park.
I too love Last Action Hero..."No Ragrets"
I love last action hero but the snes game was one of the worst birthday gifts I ever choose for myself. I picked it over star fox what an idiot. I love the vids man keep up the great work.
Love the music at the end
I remember no escape!It had Ray Liora and Ernie Hudson.It was pretty decent to me!
I had Judge Dredd for the Genesis. It was not bad for a movie game but I got lost in the levels a lot because of those dumb ladders I would never notice.
I rented Last Action Hero from a local video store after it came out and I remember being confused by it. I was young, naïve, and it was the first time I had played a game that was no fun to play and had absolutely no redeeming qualities. I kept thinking I was missing something and continued playing waiting for something good to happen, but it never did.
That waterworld soundtrack is fantastic.
I saw Two Best Friends Play do most of these games in one episode years ago. Funny stuff.
I also love Last Action Hero. 99.99% of the time when people say something was too smart for people to get it, they're just being dickheads, but there are a few times when I think it applies. Starship Troopers is one of them, and I think LAH is another.

LAH really is a wonderful exploration on the topic of violence post 1970s cinema. It really cleverly explores how movie violence is both related to and distinct from real world violence. Worth a critical analysis or two :)
True Lies was the only action movie game that was any good on SNES.
FYI: Timecop, the movie, is based on a comic book. Hence the comic cover on the game.
Batman returns. One of the best movie based games
