Concept wise - yes Unfortunately the PC version has problems of it's own - especially in terms of length - without the platforming sections the PC version is barely an hour long. Pajama Sam, Freddy Fish, Putt-Putt, Spy Fox (and so on) had AT LEAST a handful of hours (or more) worth of puzzles and fun animations to play through As it is - we BARELY get a taste of what made Tiny Toons good before Werps It's over :P

Might also be worth mentioning that Tiny Toons reran for a long time too. It was on Kids WB by 1998 at least, and it reran on both Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network well into the 2000s.
Maybe have it feature good games by traditional terrible developers? Like Warthog Games, the devs of the third game here, actually made an amazing Robot Wars game on the GBA.
Here's something to know: TTA: The Great Beanstalk and TTA: Toonenstein were developed by the same company (Terraglyph Interactive Studios), but had two different publishers. The Great Beanstalk was published by NewKidCo, while Toonenstein was published by Vatical Entertainment.
As bad as these games are: Elmira dressed as Elvira was HILARIOUS. The fact they even got most the original cast is actually impressive too. All Konami's 8 & 16-bit (and gaming gods Treasure's one 16-bit) efforts dance circles around this hot garbage fire. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to hear the rest of that Toonenstein rap now! 🤣 AAAAND THAT'S A WRAP!!
Konami has a solid track record when it comes to Tiny Toon Adventures video games. The 1991 NES Game of the same name, Babs' Big Break on Game Boy, Buster Busts Loose on SNES, and Buster's Hidden Treasure on Sega Genesis are all great games. After 1994, Konami gave the license to Atari so they could release a TTA video game for their ill-fated Jaguar system. What a mistake that was, because not only did the game never get released (despite being advertised in certain magazine ads), but the license was passed over to companies such as Terraglyph and Warthog, who made games such as these. My preferred method of playing video games is on either Nintendo or Sega consoles, and these TTA video games are one of the reasons why. One more thing, the Tiny Toon Adventures voice cast did get together one last time for an unreleased PS2 game, Defenders of the Universe. Charlie Adler even reprised his role as Buster, marking the first time he voiced Buster since he quit in late 1992 after being denied a part on Animaniacs.
I was gonna say the same thing, I remember playing that too. I didn't play it very long mind you, but I remember that it looked and played pretty good for a sidescroller platformer of that era, no major problems with it.
+geardog24 Let's hope they both fall into good reboot territory (DuckTales (2017) and Muppet Babies (2018)) and not bad reboot territory (Teen Titans Go! and The Powerpuff Girls (2016)).

I remember the beanstalk Tiny Toons, lol. I have to admit when you're just starting playing Playstation and had only played Sim Ants on your parents computer, it really left an imprint.
The problem was when it started getting reruns on like Nickelodeon in the mid-to-late 90s. And it kind of got a second wind hence why we got these games. The GBA one made by treasure though is magnifico. A shame that I literally found it in the bargain bin at rite aid and have never seen another copy of it since.
BUT WAIT! Turns out there was a CANCELLED Tiny Toons Game for the PS2 called Defenders of the Universe. The wierdest thing is that actually looks better than these 3 combined. It's an action game with co-op for up to 4 players developed by Treasure Video Games, makers of GOOD Games like Mischef Makers and Gunstar Heroes. It even would've had full voice acting and clever dialogue! You can find a complete playthrough of the alpha build here on TH-cam.
Believe it was meant for gamecube cause it was 4 players mode, you can find the rom of it lool hard enough! Brought back the original Buster and pretty much everyone
Well hey. Maybe if the revival series is successful, they could be convinced to dig up the game and hand it off to someone to finish. We got a remake of the _SpongeBob_ game; anything's possible.
I like the friendship in this one. Also, I can't wait until you find a game that is just completely middle of the road. I listen to a podcast that does Best Movie Ever and Worst Movie Ever as rankings, but sometimes, on those rare occasions, they pull out a "Just a Movie" grade
I totally remember renting Plucky's Big Adventure from Blockbuster years ago. I got stuck really early in the game and felt horrible wasting a rental on such a horrible game.
I'm not even sure why people were even making Tiny Toons games after the show ended. The whole point of cashing in on a TV show is because that show is still on the air or popular enough with its demographic. And as they stated in the review, most of the fans that grew up with this show were already old enough that these games wouldn't have appealed to them at all because they were made for a younger audience. Whoever gave these games the greenlight clearly didn't know what they were doing...
Exactly, at some point or another Nickelodeon I believe started playing reruns (at least here in the US) sometime in the mid-to-late 90s. complete with edits cuz apparently Nickelodeon didn't like some of the stuff in the episodes. Including completely banning the infamous one beer episode.
Tiny Toons received a lot of repeats via syndication, with local channels where I live still running the episodes daily all the way into the 2000s (coming home from high school as late as 2004 I could catch Tiny Toons back to back with the latest Digimon episode if I so desired.) I'm honestly surprised it apparently got new episodes for as short a time as it did: I'd have assumed the show ran for at least five years simply due to how often it aired.
@@SuperKokuJin916 Yes yes, someone else that has experienced that wonderful game. I found a copy buried in crappy games at a rite aid years ago. Talk about a good find and well worth the 10 to 15 bucks I paid for it, sealed.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu OOPS! The game I was talking about was Buster's Bad Dream on the GBA. I wasn't even expecting Treasure to make a Tiny Toons game but I'm so glad they did!!! Buster's Hidden Treasure was by far the best and most replayable game, though. It was the NES game on steroids that I always wanted! Konami's Sega Genesis/Mega Drive team were phenomenal. I had a total blast with Acme All-Stars too. That was the most fun sports title I've ever played (even more than NBA Jam)! Dizzy was the best goalie for soccer. He would only get knocked out if the CPU cheated! LOL Now if only Konami would've made a Tiny Toons arcade beat-em-up game...
2:49 ok who does buster think he is Rayman? Also am I the only one that was reminded about those cannon viruses in megaman battle network game because of how that obstacle looks
i remember playing The Great Beanstalk, i was so confused where i was supposed to go. I can only get one part of the key and ends up getting a game over.
You implying the people who grew up on this and Animaniacs EVER grew out of those shows, lmao. I'm in my 30s and hyped beyond words for the new Animaniacs season on hulu, and would love it to lead to a new Tiny Toons one too -- maybe with tie-in material closer to the quality of say the NES/SNES/genesis games, which were all pretty solid, we can hope.
You should check out the leaked Defenders of the Universe game, then. It's a, basically complete, unreleased Tiny Toons game for the PS2. It's pretty fun, and they managed to get the entire original cast back, minus Don Messick as Hampton, who had passed away by the time the game was made.
Cracking stuff, lads. Love your presentation. Coincidentally, when I was briefly studying animation in college, one of my lecturers was actually a background artist on the Tiny Toons Beanstalk game. He even had the original pencil drawings of some of the backgrounds to show us in class. Dude had a big archive from other projects he'd worked on, including Don Bluth films.
I think what they were getting at is that they made games that would only be considered like, very little kids games. Which would thin out the target demographic for them, because someone who's now like, a teen/young adult when the show was running, isn't going to play a game that's clearly aimed at ages 5 to 10. There are many other Tiny Toon games that are fun and enjoyable for all ages, so to make these super baby games wasn't really the smartest move.
This feels like someone was told to install a mod called "fun" into this lovely simulation we call "Life" but then they messed up and these games happened so enjoy.

Wait a minute...so the plot of the last game was to help Plucky go back in time to finish his homework. So his friends spend, what, an hour or two to make Plucky's time machine...INSTEAD OF USING THAT TIME TO HELP HIM FINISH HIS HOMEWORK!?!?
I used to play the Beanstalk game all the time for my ps1 as a kid. This was probably my 1st point and click adventure type game. I loved the hell out of it, but I remember it had a pretty game breaking glitch where if you click on a particular item, the riddle changes to one that's impossible to solve (had something to do with a key). The password system was bs, too. The jumping was a pain in the ass and hard mode was borderline impossible to play. I still had fun for the animations and clickable items though
You really have to give the first 2 games a tiny (lol) bit of credit for the fantastic artwork and animation. It's really nice to look at. I'm sure the artists had nothing to do with the gameplay.
I actually have nostalgia for The Great Beanstalk. I remember it was one of the few games my parents got for me and my brother when we were kids, and I remember all the little jokes and animations and stuff when you clicked on things in the point and click sections. I remember watching my brother go through the platforming sections. I loved that game to death and never knew why. I know I know. Its objectively bad. That being said, I love it and would love to play through it again. It's got a special place in my heart
@Shaman Xeed Actually no i didn't. Then again both animaniacs and tiny toons (especially tiny toons) are like 30 years old now so it sadly doesn't surprise me.
@@KaiKrimson56 Last I heard it was Netflix. But who knows shows are constantly being shifted around. There were shows that we're going to be on FX now they're on FX on Hulu. There's that regular show guy one that was supposed to be on TBS and now it's going to that HBO Max service along with the new boondocks.
I had Toonenstein growing up and I seriously loved it, maybe fully imprinted on it-- I've got extreme nostalgia for the bizzare soundtrack and gameplay. And since I didn't know much of gaming guides, I was EXTREMELY proud of knowing how to actually beat it/kept trying to do 'speedruns' of it. Bizzare board game style concept that feels like a weird modern indie experiment... I ACTUALLY Played it again on a retro pie about a year ago and I still enjoyed it lol. Fun review!

Oh, you guys ain't seen nothing yet. There is a game for GameCube, XBOX and PS2 that fits into the N64 collectathon path based on Animaniacs that was legit shipped unfinished because the people who made it ran out of money. It's called The Great Edgar Hunt.
9:29 When I read the title, I was expecting the unreleased PS2 title "Defenders of the Universe" to be given mention here (dating somewhere 'round 2002), that of which has the remaining voice cast reprise their roles for.
7:54, actually she does. I played the game on Easy, and I ended up getting the bad ending. The first two times she catches you, you go back to the first room you were in at the start of the game, third time, you get the bad ending.
That Cheesy Rider thing was not that strange in my opionion. I mean, yeah it is strange that the repair kit is in the film can but on the other side, it's Tiny Toons. And the riddle itself (use CAN OPENER with MOVIE CAN) is not that stupid.
I love how in the time to do this “adventure”, Plucky could have just done his homework. Would have saved everyone the trouble of playing this horrible excuse of a game
Yeah, that's how I got introduced to the show as a kid. I was born in 1990 and would have been too young to remember the original run, but I watched the hell out of the reruns.
11:27 *record scratch* I'm sorry, can we just have a moment a discuss the crude drawing of Babs with "XXX" written on it in that locker? No? I guess it's not a thing to be discussed in front of the young and impressionable minds of youtube.
@@reesesollars1553 Like X's and O's (kisses and hugs) is what I thought. The fact they put three X's in a row with no O's and used that pin up like picture was a bit of a questionable choice indeed. Clearly not a people bothered playing this game though to ever make it a problem.
I'm not entirely certain if this was already mentioned before but the last game featured in the Tiny Toon Adventures game trilogy WAS actually an episode where Plucky didn't do his homework. He successfully built the time machine (which was made from a bathtub) and he went into the past to trade places with himself so that he could do his homework again however it still didn't end well for him as he didn't do his homework and the future (or present) Plucky told him next time just to do his homework instead of goofing off. The last line was "Maybe I should build a time machine to get that jerk back".
When I first saw this video's thumbnail I wondered how that was possible! ...After seeing the video,now I know why! And it makes no sense! The game on the NES was amazing! The one good thing about these games is that I want to see some Tiny Toons fan art now!

Might also be worth mentioning that Tiny Toons reran for a long time too. It was on Kids WB by 1998 at least, and it reran on both Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network well into the 2000s.
At this point you should make a new series called “Just Good games”
No! Make that a April Fool's episode!
It feels more appropriate.
Absolutely that would be priceless.
@@planeslyville4645 That's a really solid idea!
Maybe have it feature good games by traditional terrible developers? Like Warthog Games, the devs of the third game here, actually made an amazing Robot Wars game on the GBA.
Its not funny see good games ripped.
These garbage games are more fun to watch.
Remenber ,the avgn best episodes are about shitty games
Here's something to know: TTA: The Great Beanstalk and TTA: Toonenstein were developed by the same company (Terraglyph Interactive Studios), but had two different publishers. The Great Beanstalk was published by NewKidCo, while Toonenstein was published by Vatical Entertainment.
As bad as these games are: Elmira dressed as Elvira was HILARIOUS. The fact they even got most the original cast is actually impressive too.
All Konami's 8 & 16-bit (and gaming gods Treasure's one 16-bit) efforts dance circles around this hot garbage fire.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to hear the rest of that Toonenstein rap now! 🤣 AAAAND THAT'S A WRAP!!
Konami has a solid track record when it comes to Tiny Toon Adventures video games. The 1991 NES Game of the same name, Babs' Big Break on Game Boy, Buster Busts Loose on SNES, and Buster's Hidden Treasure on Sega Genesis are all great games. After 1994, Konami gave the license to Atari so they could release a TTA video game for their ill-fated Jaguar system. What a mistake that was, because not only did the game never get released (despite being advertised in certain magazine ads), but the license was passed over to companies such as Terraglyph and Warthog, who made games such as these.
My preferred method of playing video games is on either Nintendo or Sega consoles, and these TTA video games are one of the reasons why.
One more thing, the Tiny Toon Adventures voice cast did get together one last time for an unreleased PS2 game, Defenders of the Universe. Charlie Adler even reprised his role as Buster, marking the first time he voiced Buster since he quit in late 1992 after being denied a part on Animaniacs.
Didn't know that thing about animaniacs and Charlie Adler.
That's a shame. Yet that's how the business goes.
It's the ghost of the money we wasted on these games!

The Ghost of the money you waste on terrible f***ing games.
@@pixelplayer140 I agree these games are freaking terrible
well at least i can look fondly at Buster busts loose on the SNES... right? RIGHT?
I was gonna say the same thing, I remember playing that too. I didn't play it very long mind you, but I remember that it looked and played pretty good for a sidescroller platformer of that era, no major problems with it.
The genesis and GBA game was good too.
@ A problem for sure, but not one I would've encountered, I usually play with default controls.
Tiny Toons really need a reboot, in both games and cartoons.
+geardog24 Let's hope they both fall into good reboot territory (DuckTales (2017) and Muppet Babies (2018)) and not bad reboot territory (Teen Titans Go! and The Powerpuff Girls (2016)).

I mean they're going to kind of sort of reboot animaniacs on Netflix.
Depending on how that goes I'll be able to say how likely/good a tiny toons reboot would be.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu And with the original voice cast! (I wonder if they'll get Bernadette Peters?)
Can't wait to see a new Tiny Toons series taking on the new topical humor--because let's face it, the original is great, but very, very dated in pop culture references (which is why we love it).
How about a Tiny Toons/Animaniacs extended universe? The pilot episode has the Luniversity built next to the Warner Bros. lot and Yakko, Wakko and Dot enroll as students. Then things just happen because of course they do.

I remember the beanstalk Tiny Toons, lol. I have to admit when you're just starting playing Playstation and had only played Sim Ants on your parents computer, it really left an imprint.
Tiny Toon Adventures was a great series
The problem was when it started getting reruns on like Nickelodeon in the mid-to-late 90s.
And it kind of got a second wind hence why we got these games. The GBA one made by treasure though is magnifico.
A shame that I literally found it in the bargain bin at rite aid and have never seen another copy of it since.
I used to love the show and the NES game. I would rent Tiny Toons Adventures a lot at Blockbuster.
Interestingly, I knew the Tiny Toons through video games for the SNES.

I'm always highly impressed that you completed these games so you can show us what they were like.
Ooooh boy.
Triple the Tiny Toon...
That's all (for Rerez's sanity), folks.
triple penetration
Ah the nostalgia, Tiny Toons and Animaniacs were my jam, and I'm from 92.
BUT WAIT! Turns out there was a CANCELLED Tiny Toons Game for the PS2 called Defenders of the Universe. The wierdest thing is that actually looks better than these 3 combined. It's an action game with co-op for up to 4 players developed by Treasure Video Games, makers of GOOD Games like Mischef Makers and Gunstar Heroes. It even would've had full voice acting and clever dialogue! You can find a complete playthrough of the alpha build here on TH-cam.
Why can't we get nice things ..
Believe it was meant for gamecube cause it was 4 players mode, you can find the rom of it lool hard enough! Brought back the original Buster and pretty much everyone
Yeah I played it and completed it , very fun and you can basically unlock all characters and play as them.
Wish it got a real release.
Well hey. Maybe if the revival series is successful, they could be convinced to dig up the game and hand it off to someone to finish. We got a remake of the _SpongeBob_ game; anything's possible.
Elmyra: She was an average nurse, but she was a *BRILLIANT* scientist!!
I like the friendship in this one. Also, I can't wait until you find a game that is just completely middle of the road. I listen to a podcast that does Best Movie Ever and Worst Movie Ever as rankings, but sometimes, on those rare occasions, they pull out a "Just a Movie" grade
This narration and voice acting in Rerez is impressive. They really are entertaining and sound better than most network television.

I totally remember renting Plucky's Big Adventure from Blockbuster years ago. I got stuck really early in the game and felt horrible wasting a rental on such a horrible game.
I'm not even sure why people were even making Tiny Toons games after the show ended. The whole point of cashing in on a TV show is because that show is still on the air or popular enough with its demographic. And as they stated in the review, most of the fans that grew up with this show were already old enough that these games wouldn't have appealed to them at all because they were made for a younger audience. Whoever gave these games the greenlight clearly didn't know what they were doing...
Montague
Trying to reintroduce the series?
Well, reruns were still airing
Exactly, at some point or another Nickelodeon I believe started playing reruns (at least here in the US) sometime in the mid-to-late 90s.
complete with edits cuz apparently Nickelodeon didn't like some of the stuff in the episodes. Including completely banning the infamous one beer episode.
Tiny Toons received a lot of repeats via syndication, with local channels where I live still running the episodes daily all the way into the 2000s (coming home from high school as late as 2004 I could catch Tiny Toons back to back with the latest Digimon episode if I so desired.)
I'm honestly surprised it apparently got new episodes for as short a time as it did: I'd have assumed the show ran for at least five years simply due to how often it aired.
It re-ran on Nick for YEARS afterward. The audience was still very much there.
I remember an ad for the Toonenstein one in Tips and Tricks magazine, and I remember thinking "but that's not on TV anymore...?"
You'd think it'd be easy to do a Tiny Toons game, a 3D platformer with references...it's that easy, THAT...
Alternative title: THEY’RE JUST BAD
You want a good Tiny Toons game you play Buster's Hidden Treasure on SEGA Genesis. As usual the good stuff was on the Genesis 👏
Ironically, made by Treasure! This was one of the best surprises on the GBA!! The best boxing, air-juggling, combo fest this side of Tekken 7!!
@@SuperKokuJin916
Yes yes, someone else that has experienced that wonderful game.
I found a copy buried in crappy games at a rite aid years ago. Talk about a good find and well worth the 10 to 15 bucks I paid for it, sealed.
+The SektorZ The Sega Genesis is my favorite video game console, and Buster's Hidden Treasure is my favorite Tiny Toon Adventures video game.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu OOPS! The game I was talking about was Buster's Bad Dream on the GBA. I wasn't even expecting Treasure to make a Tiny Toons game but I'm so glad they did!!!
Buster's Hidden Treasure was by far the best and most replayable game, though. It was the NES game on steroids that I always wanted! Konami's Sega Genesis/Mega Drive team were phenomenal. I had a total blast with Acme All-Stars too. That was the most fun sports title I've ever played (even more than NBA Jam)! Dizzy was the best goalie for soccer. He would only get knocked out if the CPU cheated! LOL
Now if only Konami would've made a Tiny Toons arcade beat-em-up game...
yep that game played somewhat similarly to an unholy mix of sonic and mario. it was fun.
I actually have Plucky's Big Adventure (got it when I was 9) and replayed it shortly after watching this video.
It's...exactly as you've described it.

There is a great TinyToon Game on the Genesis/SNES.
Still its a great Video.
i remember playing The Great Beanstalk, i was so confused where i was supposed to go. I can only get one part of the key and ends up getting a game over.
You implying the people who grew up on this and Animaniacs EVER grew out of those shows, lmao. I'm in my 30s and hyped beyond words for the new Animaniacs season on hulu, and would love it to lead to a new Tiny Toons one too -- maybe with tie-in material closer to the quality of say the NES/SNES/genesis games, which were all pretty solid, we can hope.
You should check out the leaked Defenders of the Universe game, then. It's a, basically complete, unreleased Tiny Toons game for the PS2. It's pretty fun, and they managed to get the entire original cast back, minus Don Messick as Hampton, who had passed away by the time the game was made.
Cracking stuff, lads. Love your presentation.
Coincidentally, when I was briefly studying animation in college, one of my lecturers was actually a background artist on the Tiny Toons Beanstalk game.
He even had the original pencil drawings of some of the backgrounds to show us in class. Dude had a big archive from other projects he'd worked on, including Don Bluth films.
Any good game ends with a rap song. Remember the rap song that plays during the credits of Doom Eternal. Oh man what a banger
Is it me or does no one notices that Plucky, Elmyra and Hamilton are the ONLY characters that are 2D?
The voice acting at the end was hilarious!
14:05 So this whole game's plot is just an elaborate message telling kids to do their homework?
I was 8 in 2001 and I watched Tiny Toons. They played reruns for a long time, so the age of the audience wasn’t an issue
Exactly. Sadly I don't think these guys understand how this works.
@@Scott356-m2u *sigh* you both didn’t understand the video
I think what they were getting at is that they made games that would only be considered like, very little kids games. Which would thin out the target demographic for them, because someone who's now like, a teen/young adult when the show was running, isn't going to play a game that's clearly aimed at ages 5 to 10.
There are many other Tiny Toon games that are fun and enjoyable for all ages, so to make these super baby games wasn't really the smartest move.
Ah jeez Shane, Adam. This was painful. Great work!
This feels like someone was told to install a mod called "fun" into this lovely simulation we call "Life" but then they messed up and these games happened so enjoy.
That person's name was Todd Howard.
You can’t say the target audience would’ve been young adults because they kept Tiny Toons on rerun for years. It had an audience of kids for a decade
I once read this comment on a deviantart post where it was a tiny toons / matrix crossover, and one of these comments was this long ass monologue that slowly spiraled into a full blown fanfic, but it got deleted very recently. I feel like sharing some lines.
“So many characters lost their furryness to the Montana Max virus…rest in peace. Hey, at least we can be certain Babs is still alive. She’s fucking Trinity in this parody. wait, Fifi La Fume! Fifi? Fifi? FIIIIIFIIIII!!!!!”
“*sigh* I never did get to make Fifi my bitch *cries loudly while shitting myself*”
“Considering that role play I did with a boob-obsessed smith clone a couple years ago and a commission I bought of Minerva Mink turning into a smith clone, they probably had the time of their LIVES infecting Minerva Mink. Just imagine it. Tons of identical dudes gripping those fucking melons, they probably had so much fun, more fun than poor me could ever have. Minnie to a Monty clone would be like Persephone to a Smith clone”
“When I first gazed upon this image, I could really feel Montana Max coming inside me. Something about seeing him as agent smith, all his clones surrounding Buster Bunny (Neo), one specifically with the most devious grin I’ve ever seen. That’s the one coming inside me, infecting me.”
“Technically, there’s only a 30% chance anyone will miss Elmyra. Unless you’re one of the 3 smithillion degenerates on this platform who think fucking animal inflation is a bold statement of society”
“Oh would you look at that! Elmyra just got shot dead in the Bronx.”
“bro couldn’t take watching his friend get covered in THE GOO anymore, and transformed into clones of some dude. “

Thanks a lot, guys. Now I have "talking bout toonenstein" stuck in my head
Wait a minute...so the plot of the last game was to help Plucky go back in time to finish his homework. So his friends spend, what, an hour or two to make Plucky's time machine...INSTEAD OF USING THAT TIME TO HELP HIM FINISH HIS HOMEWORK!?!?
I used to play the Beanstalk game all the time for my ps1 as a kid. This was probably my 1st point and click adventure type game. I loved the hell out of it, but I remember it had a pretty game breaking glitch where if you click on a particular item, the riddle changes to one that's impossible to solve (had something to do with a key). The password system was bs, too. The jumping was a pain in the ass and hard mode was borderline impossible to play. I still had fun for the animations and clickable items though
This series keeps getting better and better! xD
I had plucky’s big adventure as a kid and that hallway to this day gives me ptsd
You really have to give the first 2 games a tiny (lol) bit of credit for the fantastic artwork and animation. It's really nice to look at. I'm sure the artists had nothing to do with the gameplay.
I actually have nostalgia for The Great Beanstalk.
I remember it was one of the few games my parents got for me and my brother when we were kids, and I remember all the little jokes and animations and stuff when you clicked on things in the point and click sections. I remember watching my brother go through the platforming sections. I loved that game to death and never knew why.
I know I know. Its objectively bad. That being said, I love it and would love to play through it again. It's got a special place in my heart
I didn’t know the voice of plucky would voice daffy!

I had Toonenstein growing up and I seriously loved it, maybe fully imprinted on it-- I've got extreme nostalgia for the bizzare soundtrack and gameplay. And since I didn't know much of gaming guides, I was EXTREMELY proud of knowing how to actually beat it/kept trying to do 'speedruns' of it. Bizzare board game style concept that feels like a weird modern indie experiment... I ACTUALLY Played it again on a retro pie about a year ago and I still enjoyed it lol.

Oh, you guys ain't seen nothing yet. There is a game for GameCube, XBOX and PS2 that fits into the N64 collectathon path based on Animaniacs that was legit shipped unfinished because the people who made it ran out of money. It's called The Great Edgar Hunt.
9:29 When I read the title, I was expecting the unreleased PS2 title "Defenders of the Universe" to be given mention here (dating somewhere 'round 2002), that of which has the remaining voice cast reprise their roles for.

@@JohnDoe-wq5eu Yes
7:54, actually she does. I played the game on Easy, and I ended up getting the bad ending. The first two times she catches you, you go back to the first room you were in at the start of the game, third time, you get the bad ending.
That Cheesy Rider thing was not that strange in my opionion. I mean, yeah it is strange that the repair kit is in the film can but on the other side, it's Tiny Toons. And the riddle itself (use CAN OPENER with MOVIE CAN) is not that stupid.
I love how in the time to do this “adventure”, Plucky could have just done his homework. Would have saved everyone the trouble of playing this horrible excuse of a game
The first two games look interesting for the animations and voice cast, I'd say. Would probably prefer looking at the versions for PC though.
I had Plucky's Big Adventure as a kid. Played it twice, never touched it again. It's just one big, quite confusing fetch quest.

In all fairness, Tiny Toons reruns DID run in the mid-late 90s. Soooo the audience wasn't exclusively EARLY 90s kids.
Yeah, that's how I got introduced to the show as a kid. I was born in 1990 and would have been too young to remember the original run, but I watched the hell out of the reruns.

I kinda like the monstrosity beanstalk. Certainly a lot more imaginative than just green.
There was even gonna be a Tiny Toon Adventures game on PS2 but it was cancelled!
I'm not entirely certain if this was already mentioned before but the last game featured in the Tiny Toon Adventures game trilogy WAS actually an episode where Plucky didn't do his homework. He successfully built the time machine (which was made from a bathtub) and he went into the past to trade places with himself so that he could do his homework again however it still didn't end well for him as he didn't do his homework and the future (or present) Plucky told him next time just to do his homework instead of goofing off. The last line was "Maybe I should build a time machine to get that jerk back".
I feel like I've played this once before as a kid but I can't for the life remember where, when, or if I even did play it.
Sounds like the Trauma suppressing the memory lol
I remember playing point and click game back then but always thought it was Looney Tunes game so i never know the name until today

...After seeing the video,now I know why!
And it makes no sense!
The game on the NES was amazing!
The one good thing about these games is that I want to see some Tiny Toons fan art now!
Can you do 3 NES games, 3 Game Boy games, 2 SNES games, and 2 Genesis games after that?
I applaud your ability to endure the games just for the sake of reviewing them. Played the first one, and decided never again
