Try Torneko again. Made by the same company of the roguelike shiren the wandered franchise by chunsoft. I think that this game is easier than the shiren franchise by a bit. I mean it was not the RPG title you where maybe looking for at the time but at least it was a good representation of the Rogue: dungeons of doom done in a Japanese style of gameplay. Kinda like chess where you get better at the game with more practice at knowing how to counter certain enemies or when to use differnt items in your inventory effectively. Did this title come with a tutorial puzzle section to help grapple the different items? I know it's kinda a time sink to get a good grasp on these kinda titles. Working through my DS copy and the moment I was able to get a companion on the journey I was able to progress further down the line.
I loved his dad's jokes. He was pretty quick with it.not all where amazing but whose batting perfectly? He just seems to usually have some kind of twist or word play or opposite almost ready to go. Like when he's showing the Saturn box, with the bald woman, that's prob my favorite
I lost my dad at a young age and watching these vids over the last year have been so Awsome I love your dad he seems like such a Awsome fun guy I’m sorry for your loss but I’m glad you have these amazing positive memories
Was just watching another Christmas video of yours when this popped up. Your Christmas videos are my favorite because of not only the love of video games, but more importantly, family. Reminds me of my family around this time. Thanks for these, man. I truly cherish your videos
Nice, We're right around the same age, I was born in December '84 and will be 39 on the 22nd, just watching this channel damn near makes me wanna cry man, It just takes me back to a simpler time when life was just fun and everybody was still alive and healthy and thinking how technology was what we could imagine it to be at the time and thinking how cutting edge it was, Man I miss these day's where everything just seemed so simple and everybody was just happy, the 90's pre 9/11 life was just different bruh, I really appreciate the channel and content and a BIG fan brother..💯
I got Mario is Missing for my 10th birthday. My parents knew they bought me a dud and then got me another game (Spiderman and X-men vs Arcades Revenge) which also stunk but was atleast was an adventure game.
Gotta love your Dads split second timing on his jokes! My worst christmas game would have to be Austin Powers for the Gameboy Colour (though at the time I kinda liked it, baby!)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours Tyler. Thanks for the PSA. Off topic: That Bruce Wayne/Batman action figure at 0:34 was the absolute greatest thing ever back then. All of the ToyBiz/Kenner toys from Batman ('89) were amazing.
Your one of my top channels. Nostalgia trip. Love the old footage. You’re lucky to have had it. Sorry about your dad. Everytime I see footage of you two it makes me sad. I’m fortunate to still have mine.
I remember getting Surf Ninjas when I got my Game Gear at Christmas in 93. Thankfully, I ended up getting other games that were actually good to make up for it. Still one of my favorite Christmases ever!
The SNES version of Aladdin. How it started: "YES THANK YOU I'VE WANTED THIS SO MUCH IT LOOKS AWESOME!" How it ended: "Where is the sword? There's no sword?! APPLES?!"
I 4got bout that game lol and lion king was really hard as well couldn't get past stupid ostrich throwing part. There was 1 game my dad bought me at a pawn shop 1 time I can't remember the name of it it was on Sega but it was worst game I ever played ur this ninja dude and there's no map basically and u jus teleport around places and die lol it was awful wish I cud remember it dude looked kinda like kung lao
Aladdin on SNES rocks! I thought it was okay when I was a kid but like most people I preferred the Genesis version. But I just picked up Aladdin SNES for 9.99 and had a ton of fun with it. I want to play through it again already!
There was one year back in the original Xbox days where I think my parents either didn’t know what I wanted for Christmas or they waited too late to shop, so I literally just got like 15 or 20 games. It was one of my best Christmas memories cause we had a blizzard and had off school for 3 weeks, so I was playing SSX, Greg Hastings Paintball, Fable, and so many other amazing games
The only time I had a disappointing Christmas video game story was in 1993. My dad asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I wanted a couple more games for my Genesis because even though it came with Sonic 1 I only had maybe 1 or 2 other games that I don't remember at the time and most of the time my parents took me for video rentals. When I woke up at 2am or 3am my mom let me start opening my gifts. As I start peeling back the paper I see Superman. I couldn't understand why he picked that out of all games when I've never been a big Superman fan but I didn't want to hurt my dad's feelings so I pretended to be happy and gave him a big hug. My assumptions were right too because when I popped the game in I thought it was so awful. Even though I played it more since I had nothing else in my collection I kinda liked the game a little bit at certain parts but the game overall just has the bland graphics, lackluster Superman abilities, and both enemies and bosses are such hit sponges that make the game drag on way too long and it's so unforgiving with the continues. The next go round on my birthday in 1994 he shocked me when he bought me Streets Of Rage 3 but little did I know those two moments of Christmas in 1993 and my birthday in 1994 would be the last time I saw him as he passed away in November of 1994. I love you dad and I miss you the same 29 years later.
How this has 9 thousand views more than the previous christmas episode is beyond me. I think it's your narration. You're really a great narrator. At the same time, I love how you put out the sega Christmas episode. For me personally, I'm such a huge fan of the way you compose your videos. Whatever decision you make, I am on board. Congrats to you and merry Christmas!
I pretty much was in luck that my dad had quite the talent to pick good games. He only failed once for christmas and that was Aerial Assault on the Master System. Not a horrible game, but thinking back, definitely the worst i got for christmas from him.
Love seeing the Christmas footage! Its nice that you have proof that you really did get these games and didn't turn out to be a serial killer... yet...
Good news is that F-16 Fighting Falcon is not compatible with the Sega Master System Power Base Converter for the Sega Genesis! Its the ONLY Master System that isn’t compatible with Genesis!
Ohhhh can't wait to watch this when I get home from work lol. We've all had random Christmas games you'll never forget. There were some I absolutely hated the Christmas morning but liked later on like Robocop 2 and Metal Mech on NES
Young kid version of you looks EXACTLY like my older brother when he was that age. The resemblance is uncanny back then. Now...yall look completely different but i wouldve mistaken you for him if i saw you back then. Craziness
Looking back I never got a bad game cause my mom would rent games a lot then just buy whatever I liked down the line it's the reason I left starfox adventures sealed so we could exchange it for Mario party 4 after Christmas
I never really got a bad game for Xmas as a kid. I did have one memorable anti-climatic moment though. When I was 9 in 1988 I first got an NES. My Mom, like most mothers, had no idea about games. She bought Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode to get packed along with my NES that Xmas. I opened it and didn't know wtf I was looking at. My mom noticing my look of befuddlement said 'I thought it looked pretty action packed with all the guns and stuff. All the other games looked awfully childish'. Well I'm 9 Mom but w/e. Anyhow, it turned out to be a pretty great game that covered multiple genres before games tried to do stuff like that. And it had some spicy adult content my preteen brain thought was hilarious. Good job Mom. Solid under the radar choice
Ghostbusters (but for Sega Master System) was first game too. I had no idea how to play it and of course my parents who didn't play games couldn't figure it out either.
When myself and my sister were kids I remember our younger neighbour running happily up to our door xmas morning with his new copy of bubsy 3d. Poor little bastard.
First time watcher here. I got my NES in 1990, at age 14 with SMB & Duck Hunt. I got my first new game Christmas of '91; Kung Fu. You don't realize how spoiled you sound.
Death Crimson on the Saturn is one of the best games ever made. Not because it’s well made but because it’s so uniquely bad. I like how SSFF thinks about games. There are no good or bad games, only interesting or uninteresting.
Ghostbusters!! Ghostbusters!! I got it on Xmas ‘88 too. I was not the only one. My most memorable gaming disappointment as a child for the NES. And this is a David Crane game!! I am even more confused now how this came to be.
I remember being so excited when I opened a gift and it was....Shaq Fu for the Genesis. Even as an added bonus it came with Shaq rap CD and my brother just got a cd player lol
Ghostbusters as your very first game...ouch...you always remember your first. My very first was Mario 2. Till this day my top 3 favourite game off all times.
A terrible game I remember getting for Christmas was when I got my Wii, my mom got me Circus games, talk about shovelware. Bad graphics, subpar games, and that stupid tightrope mini game.
I remember beating 8eyes without dying second time playing it. First time was getting used to the controls and hit detection. Second try, beat it. Wasn’t really hard
I am the youngest of 8 siblings so as a child back in the 80s, getting new games were very few and far in between. And when I did receive one, I had to make the most of it. Even if some were really bad, I kept playing them which makes me have very fond memories playing them.
I had no idea that there was another version of the Ghostbusters game. I remember playing on the NES and thought the game was garbage. I'm going to check out the Master system version. Thanks!
Here's how this is BS. Back in these days, when you paid for nothing, had no money, and had very little access to anything that wasn't available in stores (unlike now), WE WERE HAPPY AS HELL TO GET ANY GAME.
Yes, no one was ever disappointed with a game they got from an uninformed parent or relative in the history of gaming. I worked at EB Games from 2003-2008. I saw PLENTY of disappointed kids and teens returning or exchanging their games for better ones. It’s sort of the nature of retail and consumerism.
Oh god I remember some of these games! I was trying to think Rastan? Then once I saw the game playing I fondly remembered playing that in arcades, great game, had no idea a sequel happened. And that’s for the best it looks like lol. Xperts was awful, Mario is missing was even worse. I had a lot of bad games growing up in the 80s and 90s. But the one I remember most was Chester Cheetah for Snes. I believe was the 2nd game, yes crazy stuff there were 2 lol. But that game angered me so much I took it out of my snes and tossed it across my room and ended up breaking it lol
7:00 LOL 8 EYES. My sister voluntarily bought that at Toys R Us with her own $19.99 as kids. I dont know why she bought it. It was only one of a half dozen NES games we had. I dont know whats worse. Getting it as your gift or actually buying it.
Torneko is actually a pretty good game if you like Mystery Dungeon/Roguelike dungeon crawlers. It sold really well in Japan, but for some reason it was hated in America (at least by the gaming media).
I remember renting Ghost Busters out of my hard-earned allowance. I remember feeling rage for my first time, like I somehow was duped. I vowed to always check video game magazines first for reviews. haha.
Ever finished Ghostbusters? Virtually impossible. But the die hards that managed to not throw the game out of the window after the never ending 22 floors, would finally reach the roof. And then when you defeat Zuul, you get a black screen with a message in broken English: "Conglaturation" you have completed a great game and "prooved" the justice of our culture. Now go and rest our heroes" 😮😂 Haha wtf. That's all? No cool image or anything? After all that torture, that was our reward... 80's kids like us surely were build differently.
I have to put out run on my amstrad cpc as my worst game for Christmas ever.a double cassette with 1 cassette to play on your audio tape deck,what a stinker! Good video
There were a lot of games worse than E.T on the Atari 2600, it's infamous because of A. People expecting it to be a lot better than it is. B. Everyone knows E.T. as in the movie. Main thing that confuses people about it is WHY keep falling in holes, which basically if any PIXEL of E.T touches a hole, you fall in, even if it's his head. @@mariokart8715
I got a good one. As a 90s kid, I had a SNES but also really wanted a Genesis/MegaDrive. Asked my dad repeatedly all year long. Christmas day I saw a console sized box, got super excited. Opened a TG16...
19:15 Looks like a "Mystery Dungeon" game to me. At the time, there was likely NOTHING else like it in the West on Consoles. Only other game I can think of like it would of been Shiren the Wanderer but that was stuck in Japan for the N64. I'd suggest giving it 1 hour and if you find that you can't put up with the core gameplay and the plot doesn't do anything for you . . . try Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue on the original DS and if that doesn't float your boat then put both up for sale.
I actually enjoyed 8 eyes , it was a rental for me but the store i rented it from gave the game to me because i kept renting it because i didn't beat it
Dragon Warrior the original for the NES was my intro to RPGS and it some the best memories I have. Myself and my boy Joe spent countless hours playing the 4 for the NES. Good times
This is what happens when the parents depend on the wrong clerk at the store. Remember when Bart Simpson gets 'Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge' instead of "Bonestorm?" Mistakes were made...I have to defend 8 Eyes in this case. Somehow we never had Castlevania as kids, but this instead. They play so similar I realized later and really enjoyed the game honestly.
I remember I got Bubsy and my first Smashing Pumpkins album together from a neighbor. Not.know SP I tossed the album aside and it collected dust for months. Bubsy sucked of course and I hated it but went another year before hearing what then became one of my favorite albums of all time... Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
I got Bubsy 3D from my parents well-meaning friends that had no kids of their own, probably was the cheapest thing on the shelf. That said, we gave it a shot and it still provides jokes all these years later.
30 years ago this Friday (the 19th), my 10th bday, I got the gift I begged and begged and begged my parents for: The Super Scope 6. That will go down as one of the worst gifts ever and my ascension into the harsh reality that not everything video game related is going to be awesome lol
I also lost my dad to Cancer when I was around 12. His two favorite games were Super Mario Land and Terri's Blast. And I think Donkey Kong Land. But I'd definitely say Terri's Blast was his favorite. We eventually got the translucent purple Gameboy color with the Pelican magnifying glass to make the screen look larger and it actually does a good job at it too. Good memories. =]
Ghostbusters was when i learned not all games were equally as good😂. Went from hours of mario/track & field/duck hunt.....to Ghostbusters on Christmas day😂😂😂. Immediately went back to mario and track & field the rest of my Christmas.
Call of Duty 3 on the PS3 was the worst game I've beaten. It tried to be innovative with the motion controls, but it turned out to be tedious and annoying, and it didn't help that the campaign was bland, and the level design was so broken in some areas that I die constantly.
Its cool that you have so much footage of this stuff from when you were a kid! I'll say this, I have a few of terrible memories from a few specific incidents when I was a kid, not so perfect childhood BUT, my dad always made up for it by buying games for me and my brother. Which I realize sounds kind of messed up, but noone ever went to the hospital, broke a bone or was bleeding to death, so it's not quite as bad as it sounds but, there was 'some' abuse. The craziest one was when I was 15 and my dad was like, drunk or something, IDK, he never got drunk drunk but he had to have a few beers in him, and for almost no reason went OFF, and pushed over/broke my tv and my tv stand. Again this kind of stuff didn't happen often at all but, maybe once a year there was something like this. So, I was 15 and was bigger and could fight back, what did I do? I took the leg of the tv stand and hit him with it on the arm and cussed him out, and then he went and stayed the night at a hotel. Apparently I scared the shit out of him but my mom was already pissed and making him leave that night. This literally only ever happened twice where he had to leave like that in all the years living there. but, the very next day he took all the blame for it, and offered to take just me to Best Buy to buy me a new tv and stand. And not only did he do that, he bought me a FREAKING XBOX,,, mind you this was mid 2002, I had just got a Gamecube for christmas when it was brand new, Xbox was like 7 months old, I had got a PS2 my birthday the year before as well, I still had every other console in existance from earlier than that, and he was like oh hey you don't have that do you? Yeah, shit. Since you already had a tv and night stand, Im not really buying you anything you didn't have, so you can have the Xbox and 2 games. And that was 1 of the last times anything like that happened, some minor stuff later but, damn. He musta had some kinda life affirming shit that night at the hotel. He was never a bad guy, still isn't, his dad was violenter than me but, it was just wild how spoiled we were, whenever he did make a big mistake he made up for it with video games lol.

I have PIA. Had it for years and like it. But have never been able to use Netflix through it.

"Mario is Missing!" "Well now you've found him!" Perfect dad line! I love it!!
Lol. I thought the same thing. That lightening fast Dad wit.
Came to say the same thing!!!
@@DrawciaGleam02 brilliant! :)
Actually sounds like something Tony soprano would say lol.
I loved his dad's jokes. He was pretty quick with it.not all where amazing but whose batting perfectly? He just seems to usually have some kind of twist or word play or opposite almost ready to go. Like when he's showing the Saturn box, with the bald woman, that's prob my favorite
"Well now you found him" - He had that dad joke loaded in the chamber for weeks ready to unload it on his poor innocent family at christmas.
I lost my dad at a young age and watching these vids over the last year have been so Awsome I love your dad he seems like such a Awsome fun guy I’m sorry for your loss but I’m glad you have these amazing positive memories
Tyler lost his dad when he was older.
As an indian kid, seeing the clothes and hairstyle of your neighbors resonates with me. Happy holidays! Rip saikyomog :)
Was just watching another Christmas video of yours when this popped up. Your Christmas videos are my favorite because of not only the love of video games, but more importantly, family. Reminds me of my family around this time. Thanks for these, man. I truly cherish your videos
Really appreciate it. The memories of family, games and Christmas is really the crux of it all
Love busby but didn't buy 3d one but , almost when $20 I knew it was bad
Nice, We're right around the same age, I was born in December '84 and will be 39 on the 22nd, just watching this channel damn near makes me wanna cry man, It just takes me back to a simpler time when life was just fun and everybody was still alive and healthy and thinking how technology was what we could imagine it to be at the time and thinking how cutting edge it was, Man I miss these day's where everything just seemed so simple and everybody was just happy, the 90's pre 9/11 life was just different bruh, I really appreciate the channel and content and a BIG fan brother..💯
Appreciate the comment man. Glad you’re here
I got Mario is Missing for my 10th birthday. My parents knew they bought me a dud and then got me another game (Spiderman and X-men vs Arcades Revenge) which also stunk but was atleast was an adventure game.
I love 8Eyes on the NES. Fun Fact: It is post apocalyptic and the second controller can be used to control the bird.
Nope. Ur bad
Gotta love your Dads split second timing on his jokes! My worst christmas game would have to be Austin Powers for the Gameboy Colour (though at the time I kinda liked it, baby!)
Oh behave!
Sorry had to lol
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours Tyler. Thanks for the PSA.
Off topic: That Bruce Wayne/Batman action figure at 0:34 was the absolute greatest thing ever back then. All of the ToyBiz/Kenner toys from Batman ('89) were amazing.

I remember getting Surf Ninjas when I got my Game Gear at Christmas in 93. Thankfully, I ended up getting other games that were actually good to make up for it. Still one of my favorite Christmases ever!
I loved Rastan. I’ve almost bought a Rastan stand up cabinet arcade game. The audio was mesmerizing.
Listening to this video while cooking a Christmas breakfast for my family... a perfect trip down nostalgia lane.
The SNES version of Aladdin.
How it started: "YES THANK YOU I'VE WANTED THIS SO MUCH IT LOOKS AWESOME!"
How it ended: "Where is the sword? There's no sword?! APPLES?!"
I loved Aladdin on SNES. To be fair Aladdin only has a sword the last two minutes of the movie
I 4got bout that game lol and lion king was really hard as well couldn't get past stupid ostrich throwing part. There was 1 game my dad bought me at a pawn shop 1 time I can't remember the name of it it was on Sega but it was worst game I ever played ur this ninja dude and there's no map basically and u jus teleport around places and die lol it was awful wish I cud remember it dude looked kinda like kung lao

You had a blessed childhood. My parents bought me about 10 games for Christmas, total.
Lol I got shampoo bro.

Wow, thanks man! Merry Christmas to you too
I was born in 1986 and not once have I ever gotten a video game for Christmas I didn’t like
The worst game I ever remember getting was Awesome Possum for the Genesis and for some reason I have a ton of nostalgia for that game.
One of the worst games I ever owned but didn’t get that one for Christmas!
But did you kick Dr machinos butt? I still sing the theme to that to this day. Lol
"I'm awesome!", no you're not
I pretty much was in luck that my dad had quite the talent to pick good games. He only failed once for christmas and that was Aerial Assault on the Master System. Not a horrible game, but thinking back, definitely the worst i got for christmas from him.
Roadrunner Death Valley Ralley, I was super stoked to get this when it came out. Boy oh boy, was I disappointed
oh boy, Ghostbusters for the NES was a major disappointment for us who grew up watching the movie and cartoons in the late 80's.
I have Death Crimson OX. I had fun with it honestly. I need to go back and try it again tho.
Love seeing the Christmas footage! Its nice that you have proof that you really did get these games and didn't turn out to be a serial killer... yet...

Christmas 2000, asks for an RPG, doesn't get Vagrant Story. Brutal.
Ohhhh can't wait to watch this when I get home from work lol. We've all had random Christmas games you'll never forget. There were some I absolutely hated the Christmas morning but liked later on like Robocop 2 and Metal Mech on NES
I was a ninja like 5 years in a row for Halloween that’s how badass I thought ninjas were
Young kid version of you looks EXACTLY like my older brother when he was that age. The resemblance is uncanny back then. Now...yall look completely different but i wouldve mistaken you for him if i saw you back then. Craziness
If you thought Death Crimson 2 looked ugly, then wait till you see the first games on the Saturn
Looking back I never got a bad game cause my mom would rent games a lot then just buy whatever I liked down the line it's the reason I left starfox adventures sealed so we could exchange it for Mario party 4 after Christmas
And then you have Scott the woz getting all those trashy games as a kid, but hey it made for a great video so hey.
Conker’s Bad Fur Day was one of the worst too.
Conker's Bad Fur Day wasn't a terrible game, a terrible game to give to a kid sure, but that's why it was rated M or 15+ in the UK.@@mariokart8715
Surf ninjas is one of my favorites!

05:00 Death Crimson 2 is the Good One xD
It gets a rating of "alright" and "much better than the original" from those in the know xD
Everything you need to know about Ghostbusters on the NES has been said on AVGN
90s Christmas was different man, there is snow, school is off, ever house is decorated.

I saw PLENTY of disappointed kids and teens returning or exchanging their games for better ones. It’s sort of the nature of retail and consumerism.
One time, someone sold you a few CDi games.
Don’t feel too bad, the first game I ever owned via a present was Superman 64! But I also got Toy Story 2, and Ken Griffey Jr slugfest haha
I beat Toy Story 2 on the PS1 last year.
0:26 how dare you sir. . .i would have freaked out about that game
Oh god I remember some of these games! I was trying to think Rastan? Then once I saw the game playing I fondly remembered playing that in arcades, great game, had no idea a sequel happened. And that’s for the best it looks like lol. Xperts was awful, Mario is missing was even worse. I had a lot of bad games growing up in the 80s and 90s. But the one I remember most was Chester Cheetah for Snes. I believe was the 2nd game, yes crazy stuff there were 2 lol. But that game angered me so much I took it out of my snes and tossed it across my room and ended up breaking it lol
Richy Rich over here clearly never received a Tiger handheld. 😅😉
7:00 LOL 8 EYES. My sister voluntarily bought that at Toys R Us with her own $19.99 as kids. I dont know why she bought it. It was only one of a half dozen NES games we had. I dont know whats worse. Getting it as your gift or actually buying it.
Torneko is actually a pretty good game if you like Mystery Dungeon/Roguelike dungeon crawlers. It sold really well in Japan, but for some reason it was hated in America (at least by the gaming media).
I remember renting Ghost Busters out of my hard-earned allowance. I remember feeling rage for my first time, like I somehow was duped. I vowed to always check video game magazines first for reviews. haha.
I remember getting, City Connection for NES. Even though it sucked, I did play it a bunch.
I got Shaq-fu…my brother got NHL ‘94. four years before I got Dick Tracy, my brother got Ninja Turtles…i had the worst luck then 😢
This Ghostbusters game looks to be the same game as the Atari version. Weird thing is as im watch this, im also watching Ghostbusters on TV lol.
I liked 8 eyes but unless you're paying attention to put the stones in right order its gonna really suck when you finish it
Ever finished Ghostbusters? Virtually impossible. But the die hards that managed to not throw the game out of the window after the never ending 22 floors, would finally reach the roof. And then when you defeat Zuul, you get a black screen with a message in broken English:
"Conglaturation" you have completed a great game
and "prooved" the justice of our culture. Now go and rest our heroes" 😮😂
Haha wtf. That's all? No cool image or anything?
After all that torture,
that was our reward...
80's kids like us surely were build differently.
I had Ghostbusters on the genesis as my first Ghostbusters game and it's hard as hell but also fun
I have to put out run on my amstrad cpc as my worst game for Christmas ever.a double cassette with 1 cassette to play on your audio tape deck,what a stinker! Good video
I love Rastan II or, Nastar Warrior as it was known in the arcade. Yeah, it's not Rastan, but maybe I'm wearing nostalgia goggles.
To me the best ghostbusters game will always be the ghostbusters game for xbox 360 that had the original cast in it voicing their characters
That game is great it also got a remesterd port on ps4 xbox one and switch.
I got Bubsy 3D the Christmas of release and since I had so few games at the time, having nothing to compare it to, I thought it was amazing! 😆
yes. It wasn't that bad. There's much worse out there. For one, anything produced on the Atari 2600
Such as ET. That video game crash was 40 years ago this year.
There were a lot of games worse than E.T on the Atari 2600, it's infamous because of A. People expecting it to be a lot better than it is. B. Everyone knows E.T. as in the movie.
Main thing that confuses people about it is WHY keep falling in holes, which basically if any PIXEL of E.T touches a hole, you fall in, even if it's his head. @@mariokart8715
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.
Bubsy 3D is probably easily the worst game ever made! Can’t believe they released that game!
Anything Bubsy is an abomination to gaming.
It's fun to play now though
Dora The Explorer: Barnyard Buddies makes Bubsy 3D look like Final Fantasy VII
@@AngryCalvin I agree Bubsy has always been terrible he didn’t deserve a comeback
no it wasn't. Not even close. Pretty much everything on the Atari 2600 was tho. Despite growing up with it, that was a dog console.
I got a good one. As a 90s kid, I had a SNES but also really wanted a Genesis/MegaDrive. Asked my dad repeatedly all year long. Christmas day I saw a console sized box, got super excited. Opened a TG16...
I love watching your content over Christmas because your 10 year old self is what Christmas is all about 🎅🏻🎄
And maybe Jesus.
I got Pryzm one year. I heard Billy from game chasers loves 8 eyes.
19:15 Looks like a "Mystery Dungeon" game to me. At the time, there was likely NOTHING else like it in the West on Consoles. Only other game I can think of like it would of been Shiren the Wanderer but that was stuck in Japan for the N64.
I'd suggest giving it 1 hour and if you find that you can't put up with the core gameplay and the plot doesn't do anything for you . . . try Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue on the original DS and if that doesn't float your boat then put both up for sale.
I actually enjoyed 8 eyes , it was a rental for me but the store i rented it from gave the game to me because i kept renting it because i didn't beat it
I could see your dad today spoiling your kids and I think dad was the king of games?
Dragon Warrior the original for the NES was my intro to RPGS and it some the best memories I have. Myself and my boy Joe spent countless hours playing the 4 for the NES. Good times
The moment that starts at 13:59 and ends at 14:04 is my favorite part of this whole video. ❤️
This is such an American thing to record your kids opening presents, especially the camcorder days
RIP SAIKYOMOG.I will never unsubscribe from your channel.F...cancer.
This is what happens when the parents depend on the wrong clerk at the store. Remember when Bart Simpson gets 'Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge' instead of "Bonestorm?" Mistakes were made...I have to defend 8 Eyes in this case. Somehow we never had Castlevania as kids, but this instead. They play so similar I realized later and really enjoyed the game honestly.
One of my favorite Simpsons episodes
I remember I got Bubsy and my first Smashing Pumpkins album together from a neighbor. Not.know SP I tossed the album aside and it collected dust for months. Bubsy sucked of course and I hated it but went another year before hearing what then became one of my favorite albums of all time... Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
always a good day when tyler posts!
I got Bubsy 3D from my parents well-meaning friends that had no kids of their own, probably was the cheapest thing on the shelf. That said, we gave it a shot and it still provides jokes all these years later.
I’m so so sorry dude you, and him must be kindred spirits because that’s harsh.
From 1980-Now I’ve been blessed to have a nice Christmas
At first I hated I got Monster Party for NES but over time see it's kinda genius for a Bandai game.
I love friends, and I'm glad we have the same taste!
30 years ago this Friday (the 19th), my 10th bday, I got the gift I begged and begged and begged my parents for: The Super Scope 6. That will go down as one of the worst gifts ever and my ascension into the harsh reality that not everything video game related is going to be awesome lol
I also lost my dad to Cancer when I was around 12. His two favorite games were Super Mario Land and Terri's Blast. And I think Donkey Kong Land. But I'd definitely say Terri's Blast was his favorite. We eventually got the translucent purple Gameboy color with the Pelican magnifying glass to make the screen look larger and it actually does a good job at it too. Good memories. =]
1987- NES Bad Street Brawler with the power glove
Mario is missing is the worst I ever got. Finished it Xmas day morning and was sad for the rest of the day
I so feel your pain on Ghostbusters. The sega version rocked so hard, what a disappointment to see the Nintendo version got botched. 😢
Ghostbusters was when i learned not all games were equally as good😂. Went from hours of mario/track & field/duck hunt.....to Ghostbusters on Christmas day😂😂😂. Immediately went back to mario and track & field the rest of my Christmas.
My husband told me how one year, he got freakin Antz Racing for the PS2. lol!!
Ohhh man that Ghostbusters game sucked soo bad. My dad came home with a NES and that game lol
Thank god Mario came with the system
Call of Duty 3 on the PS3 was the worst game I've beaten. It tried to be innovative with the motion controls, but it turned out to be tedious and annoying, and it didn't help that the campaign was bland, and the level design was so broken in some areas that I die constantly.
When your family buys THAT many video games, you’re bound to end up with a few duds.
They owned over 1000 of them.
@@mariokart8715 Ummm, yeah, I’m aware… which is why I said what I said.
didn't get many games on christmas back in the day but now i'm happy my first was donkey kong country lol
Its cool that you have so much footage of this stuff from when you were a kid! I'll say this, I have a few of terrible memories from a few specific incidents when I was a kid, not so perfect childhood BUT, my dad always made up for it by buying games for me and my brother. Which I realize sounds kind of messed up, but noone ever went to the hospital, broke a bone or was bleeding to death, so it's not quite as bad as it sounds but, there was 'some' abuse.
The craziest one was when I was 15 and my dad was like, drunk or something, IDK, he never got drunk drunk but he had to have a few beers in him, and for almost no reason went OFF, and pushed over/broke my tv and my tv stand. Again this kind of stuff didn't happen often at all but, maybe once a year there was something like this. So, I was 15 and was bigger and could fight back, what did I do? I took the leg of the tv stand and hit him with it on the arm and cussed him out, and then he went and stayed the night at a hotel. Apparently I scared the shit out of him but my mom was already pissed and making him leave that night. This literally only ever happened twice where he had to leave like that in all the years living there.
but, the very next day he took all the blame for it, and offered to take just me to Best Buy to buy me a new tv and stand. And not only did he do that, he bought me a FREAKING XBOX,,, mind you this was mid 2002, I had just got a Gamecube for christmas when it was brand new, Xbox was like 7 months old, I had got a PS2 my birthday the year before as well, I still had every other console in existance from earlier than that, and he was like oh hey you don't have that do you? Yeah, shit. Since you already had a tv and night stand, Im not really buying you anything you didn't have, so you can have the Xbox and 2 games. And that was 1 of the last times anything like that happened, some minor stuff later but, damn. He musta had some kinda life affirming shit that night at the hotel. He was never a bad guy, still isn't, his dad was violenter than me but, it was just wild how spoiled we were, whenever he did make a big mistake he made up for it with video games lol.
