I gotta say it's nice to see a J&MM episode which doubles as the thought process behind an AVGN episode.
I know right! They should do this more often. LOL
voteZDLR Look at it as a AVGN episode prequel so to speak. xD
The last words James said even became the Macguffin of the AVGN episode.
Crazy Luigi Oh yeah! You are right. I'm going to go watch those now thank you.
So much J&MM episodes that shouldve been made into Nerd episodes.
"Make the game hard as fuck and dumb so we can make money off the cheat code book." - MTVermin
MTVermin had nothing to do with this game
+J Smith It's a play on MTV, the company who made the game
J Smith and MTVermin isn't a real thing.
It was published by Viacom (which owns MTV). Don't know if MTV had any influence.
IMHO it is seriously one of the hardest and most poorly designed games of the 16 bit era.
I love how you can see the rage and frustration building up in James, this must be how a Nerd episode is born! What a wonderful thing!
Kind of a behind the scenes in a way
Some of them do, but some of them are just a product of the internet rather than the stuff being that legit out of qustion and oppinion awfull - like some early AVGN.... or like many new AVGN -This game was legit that sucky however
Not sure why the cheater's guide tells you to eat the burger right away. You start losing health as soon as you eat it.
Crappy guide for a crappy game.
It's so you get sick and have to go to the hospital, it grants you access to the doctor's room which has the key to the best ending in the game.
I always save that burger for when I know I'm going to the hospital next. Makes no sense to eat the burger until you're ready to leave the stage. There's also no reason to specifically eat it with butt-head.
you have to eat the burger then right away go to the hospital, its not that bad
Th1rt3eNoriginals
You're losing health the entire time you're at burger world. And behind the ordering menu on the right of the door, is health. And behind the stage exit, behind burger world, is another.
I love both AVGN and James and Mike Mondays
Pull my finger heheh
It's Sunday for me
+Pojechany1994 it's completely chronological, do you know what that word means?
me too. always a pleasant surprise (although it's every Monday ahaha i just forget) when I see the video :)
Me too as well as board james
My frustration levels as a kid were at maximum when playing this game.
I seems like in the AVGN episode, people who had never seen Beavis and Butthead before didn't get the joke that James was emulating their humor style. That's why many people didn't like it, they didn't get the joke.
I watched the show so I got it.
I was more impressed by the writing when the Nerd uses unique non-profane descriptions
It doesn't get any more 90's than this xD
Yea but they really did think the game was bad sooo wtf are you talking about?
I got its humor and I liked the episode a lot!
"We're sick" nearly each time the the energy bar drops by itself. Just weird to me that they don't hear that or ignore that.
Don Knotts throwing wild hay-makers gets me every time
I love that they cut from Beavis and Butthead to James and Mike laughing at them. Just like the original show.
It’s still hilarious they didn’t realize the characters saying “we’re sick” after you eat the burger your health starts to drop slowly lol
In a toilet somewhere there is a clue about the code for the door
+JoannaRice same place where Mario came from tho
same place where last avgn videos came from.
+David Steck Mario is a plumber so that makes sense
"Ken sent me"
tubesami "Come on in!" Just don't block the tv.
The only purpose of getting sick with the burger is so you can get the scissors in the hospital. The scissors are needed in the last screen of the game for the good ending
Took me forever, but I actually beat it. James, Mike, the ending is so fucking worth it.
I love how before James made the AVGN video on this game, I didn't hear many people hate on it. But now people are treating it like it's one of the worst things ever made. I'm not saying it's a wonderful game. But it's not shitty. Some parts are bullshit.
1. The hospital stage (practice makes perfect)
2. Having one life and having to use a password to continue.
3. Butthead's default attack is kinda stupid.
This kind of reminds me of the Indiana Jones N64 video they did a while back.
I actually really like this game; it's one of my favorites on the Genesis. I had fun figuring it out, though it is insanely harder with two people, since in one player mode you pretty much have two life bars. Me and my friend beat it once co-op. The confusion and frustration anyone suffers from this game is reasonable, it's not a very clear cut or well-designed game, despite really looking like the show and being a pretty diverse scavenger hunt, and once you've figured out the formula and get both endings (yeah, there's two endings to this game), there's not really much of an incentive to play it again..
Seems like they got trolled by the cheat guide by eating that burger. lol brilliant!
If you get all of the ticket pieces, go the right to the backstage entrance of the concert, use the scissors to cut the sandbangs, then grab the leather outfits to rock on stage with Gwar :)
James slowly becomes Nerd in this video.
I can see James' inspiration for the AVGN-episode growing with every second of that James & Mike video :D
The whole way through: "IT'S THE BURGER"
Uhhh.. Don't know why, but... This is funnier than the AVGN version, I guess..
Char is best
+Adil S Char idolaqu
Cause that episode sucked and wasn't funny at all
Haha it's because you're feeling their real frustration and I agree that it's funnier. AVGN is scripted so you lose the realness thus less funny
Fly High, Lesbian Seagull!
Is that a Lynyrd Skynyrd reference
Touch a mountain. Climb a mountain.
Lybians are cool
I loved this game as a kid.
Because when you are a little kid and your parents buy you a game you asked for and that is the one game you will have for months to come you fucking learn to love the shit out of it no matter how shitty it really was.
+MonkeyFlakes I beat it many times back then. Not Knowing how to play, is different then it being bad. It's hard yes, but it's not the worst game.
Finally some logic
Me too. A friend and I struggled through it for months and it's actually a good memory. That doesn't change the fact that it's very poorly designed.
Knowing how to play a bad game doesn't change the fact it's a bad game.
The persistence between them is absolutely phenomenal
I actually beat this as a kid. I can't believe it.
I think this game would make a funny AVGN episode
It is a AVGN Episode.
I see what you did there. =P
Bet you thought you were really clever responding, without realizing you were trolled lol
kename27
r/woo_never mind
This is like watching the birth of a child. I'm glad this experience frustrated you enough to make a new NERD episode! More please! :D
I absolutely loved this game as a kid. I even bought the copy I kept renting from the local video store when it went out of business. I don't remember it being this goddamn aggravating. I mean, it was difficult, but I was able to beat it when I was 11. Did anyone else like this game?
honestly... the game is really fun once you get the hang of it
Pull my finger heheh
yeah it's a fun game where you have to think a little bit. Mike and James have a small hatred towards anything Sega so they make the game seem worse than it is
+David Steck it's bad. it's baddd
+Conation.Smithichie what are you trying to say?
+VicRules666 Are you threatening me?
I say Beavis and Butthead made this game they were just being jerks about it
Pull my finger heheh
.... about what......
I suggested this months ago on your reddit. Thanks for doing a J&M and avgn on it! You guys rock. Greetings from Greece.
I honestly really enjoy this game. It's faithful to the show and once you know what to do it's pretty fun and engaging. If you've never played it before it does take some getting used to, but totally awesome once you do. Especially if you're a fan of the show.
There has never been a game that "Drop" from inventory is how you use the object. How the hell can you confuse that.
I also couldn't understand why they kept doing that. I guess it was another trolling from the cheater´s guide (the other one being not telling them they should head stright up to the hospital as soon as they ate that burger).
Because there's no "Use" button?
there is a use button. the action button/attack button automatically uses it when the right item has been selected in your inventory.
Usually when you face an interactive object in any videogame, a new option should appear.
even speed runners have issues with this
I own this game and never figured it out. I'm happy to see you both playing it.
ARE YOU THREATENING ME?
T.P.?
Master jedi
gotta appreciate how james and mike now do a little research and try to understand the mechanics and figure out if they're doing something wrong
They did get one good game on the PC... It was an adventure game called Virtual Stupidity... It's great!
yep!
Used to have the B & B Little Thingies mini-games CD, which was good for quick bursts of fun too. Though the best ever one by far was the arcade game (as is almost always the case), but was never complete, and also extremely hard to find as is though.
I'm glad you guys decided to release this after the AVGN episode even though it was recorded before it. I remember a while back you guys released a James and Mike Mondays video on a game (I can't for the life of me remember which one) and then the AVGN video on that same game came out very shortly after. It didn't feel like anything new having just explored the game already. Although it was cool to see it explored in character by the nerd, this is a much better way to go about it.
Great video and keep it up guys
I remember renting this with my friend as a kid and beating it. And I had no idea what or who Gwar was. I remember seeing the ending and me and my friend didn't know what the heck we were watching haha.
i laughed so hard. i REALLY miss "James & Mike Mondays", bring them back! move closer to each others if you have to 😆
I dont know how they can beat some of the hardest nes games but be completely oblivious about how to play other games almost like you've never picked up a controller before. This game is pretty good.
That's right, and you really need to think like an adventure game designer in order to know what to do.
"Run over by a lawnmower"
That's the clean version.
Lol I love the fact that James keeps having to refer to the strategy guide!! it's way too funny!!! Keep up the good work guys "well thats it game sucks"
I remember the amount of anger this game caused me lol
These guys cant even get to the actual hard part of driving the scooter...
That part was tough for a few times. It only allows you like four hits.
The game isn't bad if you actually understand the references within each level. One of my favorite games for the Genesis. The Hospital level is a bitch though, I have to admit. Other than that, a really fun and hilarious game.
+avideogamemaster Challenge can consist of the challenge figuring the controls out, putting in a long ass password or surving 90% of the game with low health that cant be refilled so easy.
I agree. One of my friends and I played this game for hours.
If you have to understand references then it's not a good game. A good game can be played on it's own, not require previous knowledge to be played.
avideogamemaster
Do you have to watch star wars before playing the best Star Wars games? How about 007? Heck even if a game is confusing if you didn't play the previous game on the same series that's already bad design, let alone a game that ties into a series in which the episodes aren't even tied together, at least for the most part.
+Jack Mcslay untrue, otherwise quiz games would be terrible.
This game looks like it could have been a good adventure game if the controls weren't shit, made it easier to heal, not have a broken password system and either not have everything try to kill or make it not broken to take out enemies. Those types of bad games piss me off the most. So close yet so far.
Passwords are the worst. Just put a battery in the cartridge, cheapskates.
Back then about 2% of all third party games had battery backup. At most.
i find it funnier to imagine that the AVGN episode came out and james is pretending to not know what's going on
I imagine the rat eat the ticket and that's how it comes out in the man's vomit.
Best episodes: *when B & B fetch golf balls ("Mr. Anderson's Balls") *out in the woods with Mr. Van Driessen and the drums *drawing the naked people at art class **when they keep getting held back a grade (in kindergarten, 'these chicks are flat, heh heh') *when they go through trouble to get beer and it's non-alcoholic and many more
This has been a great example of the evolution of the process of an AVGN episode...
Really liked this and the episode. Having grown up mostly with sega games I was happily surprised to see the AVGN do an episode about a game I actually grew up with -- I actually own this game. I really love this game; it's actually quite fun after u know what to do. I used to rent it a lot, and finally I ended up buying it used in a trip to the US in Hartford, CT back in 1998. It's in fact the only game I ever bought in US, so it's the only one I have that says 'Genesis' in the box and cartridge, as the others say Mega Drive. As I said I like this game, but I do hate this hospital part and the fact the characters walk too close to the edge of the screen so you very little reaction time when an enemy appears. AVGN should do more sega games. But most importantly don't ever stop doing the character, James; it's always exciting to see when a new episode is on.
11:16 They partied to death.
In my country, we have no bungholes.
I remember getting incredibly annoyed at this game when I rented it. It still looks great. The design is terrible though. It's one of the least fun games I've played from that era.
Mike you know how you guys used to or still record the gaming footage with a DVD recorder? Are you able to connect the console to the TV, the DVD recorder to the tv, insert a blank disc into the recorder his record, play the game and the footage will end up on the disc? I know James did/does it differently with the re-recording onto the camera into final cut, but this other way seems slightly simpler. I don't know if that is an actual method though as I am yet to buy a DVD recorder so I haven't seen how all this could actually all connect up in reality, but I am trying to find out before I buy one, if you can record the footage like how I mentioned? Thank you.
when I was a kid I actually played this game I didn't get very far
This game is difficult but you just gotta use strategy; its creative in how you collect pieces.
Pull my finger heheh
I agree it was somewat a difficult game, and I was able to figure out a good bit on my own, but I was so glad I had dial up internet at the time, and was able too look up hints online. Yes I had internet in mid 94 on a Windows 3.11 PC.
I used my '94 or '95 internet to look up cheats for Worms and Quake. That was really about the ONLY thing I used it for.
Oh no ... mid 90s Internet was bad. That dial-up modem sound, and then slow as fuck connection speeds, taking many seconds just to load a small JPEG on a web page. And if someone picked up the phone, you would loose your connection.
I love watching these guys argue and try their best to figure everything out, lol.
"Don Knotts as a police officer"
Yeah, that'd be crazy wouldn't it?
C. Morgan lol
to quote the internet "GIT GOOD" or something like that, its not a bad game, its an ok one, it just has a ton of cryptic stuff, done it as a kid
That's right, you really need to think like an adventure game designer in order to beat it.
Also, I mastered it when I was 15.
Don't you find it funny how people these days don't seem to understand that a puzzle game has to be moderately cryptic to be enjoyable? Instead, they want the game to instantly bend over.
Zeburaman2005
That's right.
the run animations...some of the best ever in any video game
11:00
i cracked so hard
-"what they did expect you to do?"
-"not get hit"
I loved this game... how did I figure all of this out as a kid?! 🍔🍟🐀
1:46 that makes me laugh.
The way you figure out the code is to watch the series. Almost the entire game is impossible to complete if you arent a die hard tv series fan. for us fans its a treasure full of easter eggs and references
I thought I was just stupid when I couldn't understand this game, but I am glad to know it was the game and not me lol
Maybe it is the nostalgia, but I had this game as a kid and remember loving it and not having most of the issues J+M were having with the difficulty or figuring out what to do.
You must have been a pretty good player to accomplish this.
I remember in a dreamcast game called bluestinger you win a gift for a girl and she says I'll give you a secret "it's Christmas"; the game took place on Christmas, but the password to this door was the date of Christmas. I was pissed when I found this out in the strategy guide.
The game's only redeeming quality is that the music sound a bit like Doom.
Fuck you, you stupid, fucking fuckwhistle!
Thank you :)
WOW. That game is *brutal*. Controller-snapping brutal.
Since you recorded this prior to the AVGN episode (and you might have answered this beforehand), was this playthrough what made the light bulb go off and have you guys say, "We need to do a Nerd episode on this..."? It's almost reminiscent of what you did for Universal Studios Theme Park (which I really enjoyed watching both the J&MM and AVGN pieces on).
Mike does a pretty decent Butt-head impression, by the way...
Thanks again for another fun watch.
actually this game is really easy
at 1 point he says something very avgn-ish and i was like ha
Out of curiosity, I read another guide online that says you should eat the rotten hamburger as the LAST thing you do before leaving Burger World. Whoever wrote the "official" strategy guide either was stupid, who wanted to punish readers by telling them the hard way. Come to think of it, a lot of official guide way back when either gave you harder methods for beating the game, or where just plain wrong.
I've had this game for 20 years and I never got past even 1 stage either. I never wanted to play the game that long. It's such a difficult, clunky and confusing game. Really bad game all in all.
Fuck you!
Can you hear the internet screaming "GIT GUD"?
This was actually a great game. A really unfair one since the best chance of survival comes collecting the items in the best possible order
Somecooltoad press F to pay respect
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days!
LOL
11:06 And at that moment, James realized he HAD to make an AVGN episode out of this shitty game. lol
Fuck you.
Deep Ghoul Fuck you too
This is like watching James in the *writing the script* portion of making a Nerd video.
Yeah, in the beginning of the video there is a caption that shows it was recorded before the nerd video.
Gotta luv Emulators and "Save States" :P
Tho I appreciate you guys always going the Authentic Route :D
Back door route is better.
+Retrorando I love the backdoor more lol
+tuxedomark Back door all the way.
+Retrorando hell yea lol
Did you guys 4get about Freedom of Choice? Do you think any1 cares? lulz
I walked away from the video for a minute. And to my horror, I heard in the background, "WATCH OUT FOR THE HOT DOG! GET THE BOWLING BALL! SHRIMP SHRIMP SHRIMP!" -- I. Am. Fuck.
When they finally got to the sick room and didnt get the scissors I lost my shit
I figured this game out as a kid with out internet or a strategy guide. That being said, the game is still hard as fuck. I wish I could be along for J&M mondays to help them out lol.
I seriously refresh every 5 minutes Sunday night for this. James and Mike are video game friend goals.
I think Home Alone on Genesis would make a good James and Mike Mondays episode. The one where you set the traps and craft weapons.
I love this video. I watched the AVGN review before seeing this, and I can see all the parallels, aka the thought process behind the review.
James and Mike Mondays is like a behind the scenes of the AVGN episode
he should do an avgn review about this game
Literally the most recent episode.
don't worry i know it was a joke.
+Wrath of Vaughn why are you being ungrateful for Recent Avgn episodes? Since James has a family now he can't make episodes as good as they used to be but at the very least he tries
he did
lame joke from a lame person
Dude! My little Bro and I used to play this all the time those were the days burping and farting on people as attacks😂
I think the biggest problem was that you guys tried to follow a bad strategy guide instead of learning the game for yourselves. You should have been exploring the game world to see what you could interact with, maybe discover hints, collect whatever items you could find, and figure out how to use those items to solve the "puzzles" you came across. It's not that hard of a game... I was able to beat it over 20 years ago as a kid without any help from friends or guides.
Looks like we have a bad ass over here !uhuhuhhhhhh
Come back after you beat kings quest 1 and get all the points.
This game sucks. Simple as that. I had this game 22 years back as well and even as a kid I knew this game was garbage. There's so many reasons why this game is abysmal from a designer/mechanical point-of-view that there's no way to get in to it on a TH-cam comment.
The guide tricked them in eating the burger without explaining they should rush to eh hospital ASAP after that, instead of losing valuable time and energy with the rat fries.
+Ratiocinator Nice opinionated comeback, care to share your godly knowledge with the rest of us humble gamers?
It was like, cool to see how James & Mike turned this experience into a Nerd episode. Good insight into the scripting process or something. huhhuh..this was cool
Hands down, one of the funniest J&M episodes. Every single, solitary second is chaos.
I like the idea of James playing this with Mike and saying "This needs to be a Nerd episode. It's so shitty."
Thank you for all your hard work......your show ROCKS!
8:40 you can feel Mike's suffering and frustration XD
More like James & Mike Sunday night's.
I beat this game as a kid. It took forever to figure out and you die, a lot in the process. The hospital part is super difficult
This game sucks diaherra
heh heh diaherra (Daria)
Fuck off!
+jediking12 X,D LOL!
Cha cha cha
you're suppose to purposefully get sick so you can enter the hospital. the game is basically a point and click adventure
I actually thought this was better than the AVGN episode. I laughed out loud when you kept dying over and over. I didn't laugh during the AVGN episode.
Because AVGN sucks ass now.
To be honest James is doing AVGN 12+ years now, I dont think the show is getting worst I think the show is the same only we are used to his jokes they stop to be funny now.
That's cause the episode sucked. I wrote that on the video and rabid fanboys came after me lol
Me too, I felt as the nerd he tried WAY TOO HARD and instead of being funny, he was just lame and stupid.
They put more effort into bullshitting on a couch than writing a script.
It's 4:45 and I have school in a few hours , needless to say I needed a laugh before I go back to hell
