Lair actually had one of my favorite features ever: a full gallery mode that shows hundreds of pictures of the devs working on the game, celebrating events, having fun together etc. Incredibly wholesome and human.
Ratchet and Clank had a dev museums after beating the game. Got to actually walk around a museum full of developer notes, designs, models etc. Really good feature of a game for sure.
same, there are games out there that I know are fucking horrible... but I just want to know EXACTLY how horrible they are... without paying to find out.

@@systemisdead I'm tempted to believe this, but I have one doubt: When she says "Eggs", there is a slight hesitation and she says "Eh-eggs". It sounds more like someone who was reading the script for the first time and was legitimately taken off-guard. The in-game voice is 100% AI, but the narrator does sound human because of those little details and those would are typically present in high quality AI models. It is highly unlikely that the creators of this game would have a high quality voice model and a cheap ass TikTok narration model in the same game. It makes much more sense that they found someone on Fiver for the opening narration to make the first 5 minutes of the game seem like thought and care went into it (probably for a trailer).
If you can manage to snag a copy of the Nanosaur II free trial (since it's no longer sold), that's an awesome title. You play as a Pterodactyl with a jetpack and laser guns and you steal eggs back and destroy the turrets/structures set up by the evil time traveling raptors who also have laser guns. You can even keep playing after the trial "ends" and beat the whole game. Truly a hidden gem.
Pangea Software always made the best Mac games of all time for us who grew up without a console or PC. Both Nanosaur games are great in totally different ways, and there was even an officially endorsed fan port for Nanosaur 1 to modern OSes including Windows
No way I've been looking for the title of that game for over a decade cuz we used to play it on the middle school computers in class, every computer had it. Everyone played.
If you like the film, good feeling shooting with lots of gibs/gore and like a power fantasy you will probably enjoy Robocop. It's not perfect but the devs show they have care for the franchise and they aren't AAA nor have AAA money so I think they succeeded. I think people forget games are entertainment, sometimes all they need to do is be fun (Game isn't fun for arcxcc, please respect his opinions) and not raise any bars.
@@Gatorade69 RoboCop is not a mere power fantasy, that's a pretty shallow view of the film. I'm sure the game is good enough for some mindless fun with throwing guys and stuff, and a fan might enjoy it, but that doesn't excuse shallowness, especially since the film it's based off was actually about something more interesting than a mere "cool robot guy shoot other guys" spectacle.
I come to watch your videos because I know I’ll laugh a few times, think a few times, disagree or agree a few times and enjoy every second.

Thank you Jim for all your hard work on your Hidden Gem show, I always want to hear about your latest finds : ) Please consider Wallace and Gromit Project Zoo for next week's episode
Only Dunkey could put a hidden gem among hidden gems in his hidden gem video. Among all the slop, a game that looks like fun, a game that I'd never even realized was a thing even though I'm a fan of the basis for it, an older game that gives you actual freedom and lets you take actions that were unthinkable for the time. Thank you for showing me Lair Dunkey; I'll never forget this.
It just hit me that I have been watching Dunkey videos for about a decade now. I was looking back through all the videos and there are some that came out 2-3 years ago that feel like it was just a few months ago. Thank you for the all the entertainment over the years Dunkey.
Dinobreak really is the first and most underrated Egg-type game, truly revolutionary; such a shame to see the genre take such a deep nosedive after its release.
It’s the least of Dino Break’s problems I know but my brain had me rewatch 2 seconds of the video to confirm she loads an invisible magazine into the grip of a revolver. Landstad confirmed
I've been a fan of of Hidden Gems with Jason Dunkey since the beginning, and I gotta say: this is the best episode yet! So many undiscovered masterpieces
Dunkey is truly a master of foreshadowing. The way he said "DINOBREAK" perfectly set up how the narrator says "DINOBREAK" during the games opening. Chills.
Idk where the memes stop; but that robo cop game looks like it's half baked af and would become boring after the first fire fight where you realize that game is just a glorfied god mode rail shooter with robocop paint for nostalgia.
I recommend Chulip (PS2) for a future episode of Hidden Gems. It's a boy meets girl story full of bizarre moments, characters, and gameplay. It's one of the strangest games I've ever played. I would love to see Dunkey do a full playthrough and discover his reactions to this unique game. Please make more episodes of Hidden Gems, this is a great new format. There are so many weird, obscure, terrible, etc., videogames out there just waiting to be roasted by Dunkey. And there are plenty of little known enjoyable videogames (Chulip!) for Dunkey to discover and love as well.
DITTO. When I saw that fleagame or whatever I was thinking "Huh, snesdrunk just did that", then showing the tiny clip at the end I was like 'Ohhh now I get it'
I was discharged from the hospital for some of my cancer treatment today and I get the luxury to come home and enjoy this. Thank you dunkey, you're awesome
Dunkey you are the first person I've heard actually talk about crazy frog racer, I remember renting it from a blockbuster 15 years back and I can still hear it's soundtrack but sometimes I felt like it was all a fever dream cause I've never heard anyone else mention it before so seeing it in this video threw me back thank you
Thank you for reviewing A-Team. My favorite part is the recurring gag where Murdock makes Mr. T really angry. Always good for a laugh. I love it when a plan comes together.
As a real and honest reviewer, I'm so glad I traded my extra 2 copies of Lair for 1 copy of Dinobreak THEN realizing my mistake traded my 1 copy of Dinobreak for A-Train HX after the futile disappointment of the original A-Train. The dragon content in Lair is no matchup against Dragon2020 since it only contained dragons and no human. I absolutely had to trade my 5th and final copy of Lair for that. Lost Luggage and Frantic Flea look fun and I'm looking forward to remastered versions of both. Izzy's quest for the Olympic Rings looks really difficult . . . I'm not sure I'm up for that kind of a challenge.
Wow!! When my family and I saw the graphics for A-Train HX High Definition 720P, they were so incredibly realistic that we actually thought there was a train coming out of the screen towards us. We all screamed, dove to the ground and said our tearful goodbyes to one another - image our surprise when we realized it was only a game for the Xbox 360!
Hey Jason, thanks for 11-12 years of great content. I left the Navy in 2010 and your humor was always reminiscent of my good times in the military. Thank you so much bro, I hope you’re well :)
Personally my two favorite hidden gems are little known indie projects Frogger: The Great Quest (2001) for the PS2 and Disaster: Day of Crisis (2008) for the Nintendo Wii. I think I have a copy of each somewhere in my Lair (2007) closet. My dad transferred all our money into hidden gems during the 2008 financial crisis so we have about $10,000 in hidden gems, definitly more stable than those silver scams on cable tv.
Dunked absolutely has to cover Geist in the next one. Such a hidden gem classic. No dragons in this one, so maybe not as good as Lair, but still has lizards in it, so close enough.
After recognizing Frantic Flea from SNES Drunk's recent video on it, it was super nice to see you give him a shout out. Love the channels out there that do sincere coverage of all sorts of forgotten games.
Dunkey, i was having a rough, thought-provoking day, but coming home from all the chaos to see your new video puts a smile on my face, per usual. Thank you for all the good times
I know he isn't actually taking suggestions, but I'd love to see Dunkey review Teardown. There's a lot of goofy fun to be had in that game that I think he would enjoy.
Einhänder. Squaresoft's best shooter. The attention to detail in that game was unreal. The art gallery. the soundtrack. It was a passion project that's for sure.
I want a version of this format that includes both good and bad games (based on reviews scores), but he reviews them both with the same level of enthusiasm and wit, and it’s up to us to figure out if the game is good or bad based on what he chooses/is forced to compliment about the games. We can check our scores on metacritic after the video XD
I just had whiplash having Dunkey mention Lair. I literally played that games for hours on end as a young kid bc I just loved the fact I could ride around on a dragon….good times
The reason why Robocop is a great game is because it's a double A game, so that's like two A-trains so it's twice as good as that game, which is weird because giving it a 20 out of 10 doesn't work since that's not how the "out of 10" system works but it's just that good
Since you asked, a hidden gem I would like in a future video to see is Bumper Wars. It’s an early 2000s vehicle combat game about an alien empire that visited earths amusement parks, mistakenly thinking they were punishment camps, and making a gladiatorial death game based on bumper cars. Bizarrely, this game sold at Scholastic Book fairs at schools (like my copy) despite having no educational value other than being Baby’s-First-Twisted Metal. I never hear anyone talk about it though.
Might not really be as hidden as most, but Warhawk on the PS3 was one of my favorites of that generation. None of my friends had any idea what it was but it was always so fun to play.
Didn't realise A-Train actually had a console release. Played it way back when Maxis was, well, Maxis. Absolutely impenetrable management simulator, with a manual thicker than most novels. I loved it.
It would be great if Robocop had an 80s/early 90s printer on his back so he can print up his parking tickets. Maybe a dial up sound plays as well so you know he is connecting to the internet and in real time you have to wait 3 minute to connect and then 2 more to print the ticket...then if you are called during it you have to start the process all over again. Perfection!
I remember watching Dunkey's Hidden Gems at my grandparents' house when I was a lad. I'd get so excited every week when Jim Dunkey would talk about Lair again.
I used to get excited every week but not anymore...Man the show has gone to shit. It used to be so much better when he went by his full name Jim Dunkeyton the 3rd but I guess shortened names are cool now and do better in the algorithm ? Like you said he already covered Lair and this episode added nothing new and was just a rehash of his old Lair episode. Is he all out of ideas ? Has he gotten bored with this series ? Is the fact that he is now owned by the liberal media ? Who knows.
Hi Jim, I'd love to see you talk about "Rayman Rush" on your talk show here! It's certainly a sparkling gem in the Rayman series, and I never hear anyone talk about it believe it or not. I mean, who doesn't want to have a whole game where all you do is race on foot? Thanks for shining your light into the dark corners of the world of video based gaming! Best, John
i'm genuinly really happy with the robocop moderated success it's having, because it means maybe the industry could give AA games a try. great vid dunk
Dunkey, Tasty Planet is the greatest game of all time. It allows you to start as a small creature and grow into the size of the galaxy. It has an invigorating story with some of the best-written characters in all of fiction. It's really hard to tell if the protagonist is a good guy because he eats everything with no moral compass. I would strongly recommend it and it's sequels for a stellar gaming experience.
That was pretty innovative of the Dinobreak team to record all their audio from the bottom of a well.
Avant garde.
That explains why I heard redeads groaning in the background...
Maybe they were playing animal well while recording
First game to implement well-type audio.

We all screamed, dove to the ground and said our tearful goodbyes to one another - image our surprise when we realized it was only a game for the Xbox 360!
SNES Drunk and Dunkey in the same video? Pure perfection.
I'm glad good youtubers like Dunkey still make quality content to remind me that it is in fact dinner time!!!
Love the idea behind this. Can't wait to see Mr Bones covered for the Sega Saturn on the next episode of Hidden Gems!
Ah yes, the first strand type experience. That game is practically made for a dunkey video.
You just know this entire video just happened because dunkey enjoyed giving that ticket in robocop so much he had to share
Don't sleep on dah robocop
Legitimately great game.
I really hope he makes more of these types of videos It's always cool to see him cover random games aposed to just games everyone is talking about.
A-Train was a legit classic and Dunkey is only doing the Lord's work bringing it to a new generation
Hey Jason, thanks for 11-12 years of great content. I left the Navy in 2010 and your humor was always reminiscent of my good times in the military. Thank you so much bro, I hope you’re well :)
He died in 2019.

Personally my two favorite hidden gems are little known indie projects Frogger: The Great Quest (2001) for the PS2 and Disaster: Day of Crisis (2008) for the Nintendo Wii. I think I have a copy of each somewhere in my Lair (2007) closet. My dad transferred all our money into hidden gems during the 2008 financial crisis so we have about $10,000 in hidden gems, definitly more stable than those silver scams on cable tv.
Thank you for bringing us another portion of the Hidden Gems! Love the show! Already thinking to buy those 600 copies of Animal Well in mint condition
Wow, actually hearing SNES Drunk's voice in a Dunkey video just completely made my day.
Dunked absolutely has to cover Geist in the next one. Such a hidden gem classic. No dragons in this one, so maybe not as good as Lair, but still has lizards in it, so close enough.
As we all know, it takes about 7 lizards to be worth 1 dragon, so as long as it has at least 84 lizards on screen at all times it should be fine
After recognizing Frantic Flea from SNES Drunk's recent video on it, it was super nice to see you give him a shout out. Love the channels out there that do sincere coverage of all sorts of forgotten games.
❤❤ SNESdrunk love
Really glad you covered so many Mario titles in this one. Well played.
Love when she reloads the revolver with a magazine replacement animation.
Dunkey, i was having a rough, thought-provoking day, but coming home from all the chaos to see your new video puts a smile on my face, per usual. Thank you for all the good times
Yeah imagine having thoughts ew
My GF broke up with me. I wanted to die for the past 3 weeks right now. I still do, but at least I can watch this video while wanting to die
@@plasticfacedvillian4779maybe give it a try also 10 year olds dont count as girlfriends
Dunkey, YOU'RE a hidden gem ❤
wdym hes right there
Your mom is a hidden gem.

I know he isn't actually taking suggestions, but I'd love to see Dunkey review Teardown. There's a lot of goofy fun to be had in that game that I think he would enjoy.
Finally giving SNESDRUNK the attention he deserves
I was curious if Dunkey got the idea to reference Frantic Flea from SNESDrunk's video on it. I suspect that he did.
Einhänder. Squaresoft's best shooter.
The attention to detail in that game was unreal. The art gallery. the soundtrack. It was a passion project that's for sure.
Soundtrack unreal.
I unironically bought that Robocop game because it made me FEEL like Robocop and I’ve been waiting since the first movie to get a game that did that.
Have you heard of Spiderman? As an empath myself, I FEEL like you might enjoy it.
Have you heard of Batman? I'm certain Arkham Asylum will really make you FEEL like the caped crusader
Have you heard of Spec Ops: The Line? It really makes you FEEL like a war criminal!
@@thewizardofrozIt really makes you feel like you didn't want to hurt anybody. 10 out of 10.
I want a version of this format that includes both good and bad games (based on reviews scores), but he reviews them both with the same level of enthusiasm and wit, and it’s up to us to figure out if the game is good or bad based on what he chooses/is forced to compliment about the games. We can check our scores on metacritic after the video XD
"There is an only hope"
such inspiring words.
Dunky never fails to make lay on my stomach and flutter kick until the video is finished
Those were some pretty cool hidden gems Dunkey! I'd love it if you reviewed the cult classic Lair for Ps3, you get to ride a dragon and it's only 10$
Yeah, it's awsome. I playedit a lot as a kid, and I think I still have it somewhere in my flat.
I just had whiplash having Dunkey mention Lair. I literally played that games for hours on end as a young kid bc I just loved the fact I could ride around on a dragon….good times
SNES Drunk Dunkey crossover is what I needed.
The reason why Robocop is a great game is because it's a double A game, so that's like two A-trains so it's twice as good as that game, which is weird because giving it a 20 out of 10 doesn't work since that's not how the "out of 10" system works but it's just that good
Wait. Am I crazy or did the RoboCop game actually look like a ton of fun?
yes its pretty great and has pretty good writing too
No you're not, it genuinely is that fun.
Yeah, it's really good overall especially so if you're a fan of the film.
Yeah kinda does lol
It has no business being as good as it is
Love it when Dunkey just does these random videos
Since you asked, a hidden gem I would like in a future video to see is Bumper Wars.
It’s an early 2000s vehicle combat game about an alien empire that visited earths amusement parks, mistakenly thinking they were punishment camps, and making a gladiatorial death game based on bumper cars. Bizarrely, this game sold at Scholastic Book fairs at schools (like my copy) despite having no educational value other than being Baby’s-First-Twisted Metal. I never hear anyone talk about it though.
We got a code 4 here. Stay where you are.
3:18 that revolver reload was sick
"Dinner time" such a badass line im gonna start using that.
Dunkey x snesdrunk what a time to be alive
Seeing Lair just gave me a crazy nostalgia blast, I played a weird amount of it long ago
Same man I loved it as a kid
What is it about?
@@quilava7912it's literally just flying around on a dragon but it sucks to control and is boring, lol
@@rudeboyspodcast"flying around on a dragon" and "boring" do not belong in the same sentence.
Might not really be as hidden as most, but Warhawk on the PS3 was one of my favorites of that generation. None of my friends had any idea what it was but it was always so fun to play.
Didn't realise A-Train actually had a console release. Played it way back when Maxis was, well, Maxis. Absolutely impenetrable management simulator, with a manual thicker than most novels. I loved it.
Love the SNESDrunk cameo
Truly an incredible video. Can't wait for Bookworm Adventures Deluxe to appear on next week's episode of Hidden Gems.
It would be great if Robocop had an 80s/early 90s printer on his back so he can print up his parking tickets.
Maybe a dial up sound plays as well so you know he is connecting to the internet and in real time you have to wait 3 minute to connect and then 2 more to print the ticket...then if you are called during it you have to start the process all over again.
Perfection!
I actually want this to be a series.
these r personally my favorite type of dunkey videos
I remember watching Dunkey's Hidden Gems at my grandparents' house when I was a lad. I'd get so excited every week when Jim Dunkey would talk about Lair again.
I used to get excited every week but not anymore...Man the show has gone to shit. It used to be so much better when he went by his full name Jim Dunkeyton the 3rd but I guess shortened names are cool now and do better in the algorithm ? Like you said he already covered Lair and this episode added nothing new and was just a rehash of his old Lair episode. Is he all out of ideas ? Has he gotten bored with this series ? Is the fact that he is now owned by the liberal media ? Who knows.
Bro Lair was actually hella good. I really enjoyed it as I played it! My mind was blown with the massive armies and dragon warriors and stuff! Amazing
I never played it... but I was kind of thinking "Wasn't this actually like... maybe sort of ok for the time?"
Play it with the sixaxis motion controls and then come back here.
Drakengard is way better anyway
If you enjoy tilting your controller to move
@@kebm1388BROOOOO hitting me right in the nostalgia with that shit, drakengard I feel really needs a remaster or hell even a port
Hi Jim,
I'd love to see you talk about "Rayman Rush" on your talk show here! It's certainly a sparkling gem in the Rayman series, and I never hear anyone talk about it believe it or not. I mean, who doesn't want to have a whole game where all you do is race on foot? Thanks for shining your light into the dark corners of the world of video based gaming!
Best,
John
Glad to see my man SNESDrunk getting some love
Great video dunkey! I watched the whole video and it was great!
i'm genuinly really happy with the robocop moderated success it's having, because it means maybe the industry could give AA games a try.
great vid dunk
Glad to know Dunkey decided to do investigative journalism and find the lost gems!
Hidden Gems as a recurring series is a great idea dude! I'm excited to find some gems
Dunkey, Tasty Planet is the greatest game of all time. It allows you to start as a small creature and grow into the size of the galaxy. It has an invigorating story with some of the best-written characters in all of fiction. It's really hard to tell if the protagonist is a good guy because he eats everything with no moral compass. I would strongly recommend it and it's sequels for a stellar gaming experience.
DUDE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT PLAYED THAT GAME!!! The elevator type music hath never left my psyche
