- Those blockheads at Kemco give us another cartoon-based game that has no substantial connection to the property. Snoopy's Magic Show is only a Peanut's game because it has Snoopy on the box; otherwise, it's just another in a long line of unremarkable and poorly designed puzzle action games for Game Boy. I know, right?

Craziness. I haven't seen or heard anything from this game since playing it at a friend's house in the early 90s, yet the moment I heard one of those themes, I instantly recalled the rest of it. The human mind is wondrous.
"Do you make an adventure game, packed with regretful text?"
Well there's an idea for a pet project... :)
I can't stop laughing at the way you sort of yelled, "Peanuts!" at the beginning.
You very effectively described what makes Peanuts unique and memorable!
Also why I dislike it so much
@@Mr_Redsfan why
40 years old and and can still tell a Kemco tune right away. So distinctive, and makes me think of Shadowgate every single time.
This has by far been my favorite intro in the series thus far. The build up of what it could have been something quite special...but no, another wasted license on a mediocre-at-best puzzle action game. Kudos to you Jeremy. Keep up the stellar work.
Even the intro music is a rearranged version of Crazy Castle's tune.
+Mauro Palumbo Huh! Good call!
+Mauro Palumbo Kemco budget cuts...even if making GB games was probably dirt cheap back in the day...

Oh Kemco, always cutting corners!
I loved Snoopy's Magic Show. It was one of the first Game Boy games I ever 100%ed.
Great synospsis the of the Peanuts comic strip. I grew up loving Peanuts, because my dad had several small anthologies from the 1960's of Schultz's strip, so I read and devoured each of those books many times over.
I didn't know so many early games on the Game Boy were puzzle games. I kinda draw a comparison to Wii's early "WiiWare" library, which also was filled with more puzzle games than it should've had.
Hi Jeremy! I really appreciate the commitment of this channel: mustn't be always a pleasure to write/talk about games you don't like!
PS: I didn't know the Game Boy World book was yours! I bought it for a friend who loves Game Boy and only then I realized it was made by you! Kudos! :)
Pu-wah wuah wuoh, uah uoh uah uah uah uah.
(translating into children's talk, since I am an adult):
"Kemco games sure did have great 8-bit music"
I'll still pick this up down the road. It looks alright (for a Gameboy Puzzler :P) Jeremy, thank you for archiving the Gameboy catalog. I look forward the many days ahead, of mediocre puzzle games and Pokémon clones!
Keep up the awesome work. Really enjoy this series. The book was a great read as well.
Great opening line. And all of your ideas are quite good.
Ah, I am so glad I am NOT the only one who had a great deal of trouble with Snoopy's Magic Show. I'm insanely hopeful that the Puzzle Chief will eventually challenge this game on Game Center CX. ;)
I've heard tales of how inundated with puzzlers the Game Boy was, but now I'm seeing it. We're not even close to half-way, either... I fear for your sanity.
+Levitz9 They do taper off after a while. To be replaced by Pokémon clones.
Did I miss #51 somewhere? Hugely enjoying this series.
That intro... was awesome!
That intro theme is a banger
I'm looking forward to your inevitable take on the Mickey/Real Ghostbusters/Garfield Kemco game and how irritating the copy-pasting of licenses was.
after doing the mental exercise, I note want a Sailor Moon, Ninja Turtle, Power Ranger crossover. I would even accept a puzzle game.
Why it's almost as if they wanted to recreate Charlie's existential angst.
Peanuts comic strips are a classic. 😀👍🎮
This one game is one that I played back then and which I still remember for one thing: its music. I don't know why, but I do like the charming little tunes in this one.
Other than that it's indeed pretty generic. The fact that it as nothing to do with Snoopy isn't exactly surprising. Kemco would pretty much develop any kind of game concept and slap onto it a random license among the many they happened to have under their hood back then. The concept of crazy castle isn't exactly any more relevant to the Looney Tunes or Bugs Bunny in particular, than Snoopy is in this case. And Kemco often DID swap licenses between territories, like I think one of the Crazy Castle games had Mickey in it instead of Bugs Bunny in a certain territory or something like that? I can't quite remember off the top of my head.
+RudyC3 You should watch the Crazy Castle episode! It goes into depth on that game's topsy-turvy licensing (it alternately featured Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and Roger Rabbit).
Hey Jeremy, did you see the new Peanuts movie? It has an interesting animation style and because of your artistic background and knowledge of Peanuts I'm curious as to your thoughts. Side note: great video, love the series, keep up the great work!
It may be _yet another "meh" action puzzler_ but there something in it that I kind of like.
Realistically though, Kemco hardly invented Snoopy kitsch with little to do with the Peanuts universe
This one... i quite like it.
Which one of the puzzlers would you rank as the worst so far?
+the_muteKi Blodia, by a country mile.
Oh god, I had already forgotten that one. What a nightmare.
This game. In one word:
"~~~AAAAAUGH!!!"
Playing it really does feel like having a football yanked away at the last second as you go in for the kick
I think this game was actually supposed to be an original title called Heart Attack before the Peanuts license was shoehorned into the game.
Looking through the graphics, an unused title called Death Ball is there. Probs what it was going to be after slapping it across the face with the Peanuts licence.
Just wanted to let you know that you got some of the episodes in the wrong order.
But while I am at it, thank you for your videos!
50, 52? All these bad puzzlers made Parish forget how to count...
+RogerPyoko Or maybe I jumped out of sequence because Peanuts seemed more relevant today than Popeye? Hmm.
+Jeremy Parish Nah, it's definitely the puzzlers. I hope the best for your sanity.
I thought Popeye was up next
+Raymond Gallant Don't believe everything you see on the Internet.
I mean, has there ever been a good Peanuts game? Peanuts doesn't really seem like it'd lend itself very well to video games, except some of Snoopy's whimsical stuff.
reminds me of chase the chuckwagon
Peanuts IS all the things this video says it is, but--as so many other tributes to the strip have likewise elided--it could ALSO be just *brutally* cutesy, cloying, and repetitive, generally when Schultz leaned too hard to Snoopy. That seems like a relevant thing to note with regards to this game.
Agreed. It didn't help that Mr. Schulz kept the strip running long after he ran out of good ideas. I loved Peanuts growing up, but even kid me could tell he was slipping in a bad way in the 90's. The last few years were saddening more than anything else, with the same handful of hackneyed jokes and anemic punchlines against a backdrop of shaky-lined drawings from a hand ravaged by age. But hey, at least it was still better than Family Circus.
@@Neverhoodian That's a subterranean bar to clear.
They already made a baseball game where you never win at baseball; it’s called Baseball.
No lies detected
Parish, I too went through the complete GameBoy rom set about 5 years ago... I admire your patience... But did you really know what you were getting into when you started this video series?
+Shell Shock Yeah, I broke down the release list in advance of beginning the series. And three videos from now, the pain's allll gonna be worth it.
Sounds more like Yars' Revenge. Replace snoopy with Yars and Spike with the destroyer missile and you have the mediocre sequel on the Game Boy that never was.
I'm a little torn about the Evangelion preview music at the end. I kinda like Game Boy World for its historical, documentarian quality to it, and frankly, the Evangelion music kinda erodes that quality. However I loved Evangelion and it has great music, and it's so much fun to hear it again.
I guess the question is, how seriously should we take Game Boy World?
+Brad Gravett The series has always had goofy little codas - just because it's a fairly serious project doesn't mean it has to be dry and straight-faced. If you're not a fan, though, you can skip past those last few seconds. I specifically include that stuff after the outro for that reason!
+Jeremy Parish Those are all good points. It doesn't affect the core content of the chapter. And I love that pang of nostalgia, so I don't want to argue too much =)
