If anyone hasn't played Gex 3 yet, I recommend it. It's one of the better designed collect-a-thon platformers from the early mainstream 3D days of gaming. The fact you can skip a decent chunk of content similar to "Super Mario 64" gives it a lot of replay value.
I can remember seeing the James Pond games on the shelves at Blockbuster as a kid and thinking they didn't look like real games, like they had somehow fallen out of a movie or another universe. Something about them seemed off in a way I couldn't articulate. Figured out years later that's just the kind of vibe that a lot of games ported from the Amiga to the Genesis had.
I'm so glad I found this channel. I've been going back to watch old videos and I'm amazed at how good you started too! You should go back to Grinch for the PS1 and master that jump this Christmas :D
I'm kinda surprised there's not more Christmas themed games! Though maybe that's for the best! Always wanted to try out the Gex series though, really need to get on that at some point, great video man! Oh and I hope you have yourself a happy Christmas!
Our old friend from ass to mou.. A2m ! Haha I just discovered you with your video on Small Soldiers (Christmas, nostalgia, watching Small Soldiers, thinking of the great video game, finding your video... ) and I loved it. You won a follower from France ;) Happy Christmas - Joyeux Noël ! (A bit late, sorry !)
11:00 these games legitimately give me a slight panic attack thinking of kids getting some of these woefully bad games for christmas and having to enjoy it till next year.
The Grinch on the GBC is kinda like Pac-Man, but with more ways to manipulate the enemies, turning it into a light stealth game. There were some games in the early 2000s that came out on PS1 and GBA. Mostly by European developers I think.
That grinch GBC game sounds pretty cool. I actually had one or two of those GBA games, I think they were the CT Special forces games? Only found out later they came out on PS1 and some of them as late as 2004 which is pretty crazy. Those CT games are pretty good though, I had an idea to cover PS1 games released in 2004 since there's only about 4 or 5 I think? Would be fun to check em out.
You likely know this, but Robocod on PS1 (and all subsequent versions) isn't really a port; all the level designs are brand new and frankly vastly inferior, due to the removal of any hidden secret areas.
14:45 this is not a port yes the mechanics and sprites are all the same even the music is just remixed. But every level is a new and much worse layouts and harder along with the Snakes and Laders themed level removed,along with the bertie basset looking enemy and the whole Penguin Biscuits level and all the Penquin sprites changed to Elves. Yet this version improves the final boss fight giving it a new sprite making it easyier to understand and even leaves the way you acessed cheats the same colecting items in the hub to spell out cheat but at same time removes the mirrored screen effect from one boss fight. All versions of this game PS1 onwards are based off this version with the last one begin on Switch.

Instant nostalgia rush, back to my Windows XP Family PC.
dang Grinch's ost reminds me a lot of Medievil 1's soundtrack.
GEX CHRISTMAS LEVEL LETS GOOOOOO
The Grinch menu music gives me Medievil feelings. Also Gex 3 covers pretty much any theme imaginable, I rl love the game.
15:55 ha, his jumps sound like Gexs
a minute later: oh hey, there's Gex!
My favourite "christmas" ps1 game is Parasite Eve, and best PS1 game netherless :P
15:16 Didn't know this was a parodied Robocop theme (could've guessed so from the punny title) but I really like it

Thanks for the kind words! I will someday, that jump still haunts me.
My PS1 Christmas game was always Die Hard Trilogy.
HoHoHo, I have a machinegun!
Fine taste 😉

Appreciate it man! Happy Christmas to you too! 🎄
Merry Xmas dude 🎄 looking forward to more videos to come
Cheers dude! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄
Merry Christmas Mr Seanson, cheers for the gift of your content this year 😛
And thank you for the gift of your support ❤️
Merry Christmas! Wow, that Santa game looks dreadful! My favorite PS1 Christmas day memory was getting Spyro the Dragon.
Ah Great choice! Merry Christmas friend, appreciate the comment!
1:43 man i used to play this plataformer on a old digerati disc :0
such nice memories :)
Thank you as always! Grinch gonna be my Christmas game this season. But now I’ll need to teach myself to emulate Dreamcast games on a Steam Deck 😳
There's a Japanese PS1 game based on Raymond Briggs' The Snowman. Maybe that could make it onto your import wheel?
Oh for sure. Wouldnt be surprised if it ended up in a future Christmas special too 👀

Thank you friend! Appreciate the comment.
Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year to you 😁
hahaha how many times did that penguin have to fall to its death across the world over the years
It's a right of passage, an offering to the penguin gods.
Gex!

I was real dumb I would have absolutely played this for a year while being miserable the whole time
Gex?? Scott the Woz is frothing at the mouth right now

2001's SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge is another PS1 and GBA game, from the same British studio as Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

Yeah it had been so long since I played Robocod I didn't even notice it at the time.
James Pond is a great game series.

I was wondering why the game seemed harder than I remembered 😅
Appreciate the correction! Thanks for the info
The animation used for Santa flipping up ledges is pretty dope shit
Dude you completely forgot about parasite eve.
I can't use up all the Christmas games in one video, I'd have nothing for this year 🎄
You forgot twisted metal
