12
00:00:55,381 --> 00:01:02,541
and that is game informer magazine's top 100 200 and 300 games of all time now

13
00:01:02,541 --> 00:01:08,821
mr nomad let's talk about your reaction overall from the first 100 oh you know

14
00:01:08,821 --> 00:01:13,721
my reaction man it's it's you know just growing up having.

15
00:01:15,381 --> 00:01:20,521
Multi-consoles and the greatness well the great games that are on each of those

16
00:01:20,521 --> 00:01:26,181
consoles and i mean i was i was lucky enough to have them now i wasn't privileged

17
00:01:26,181 --> 00:01:29,721
where my parents bought me all that stuff i worked for all my stuff and that's

18
00:01:29,721 --> 00:01:32,221
probably why i kept a lot of my stuff to this day,

19
00:01:32,681 --> 00:01:35,401
you know the whole blood sweat and tears thing so i i bought

20
00:01:35,401 --> 00:01:38,721
these consoles myself i bought these games myself so but

21
00:01:38,721 --> 00:01:41,481
i i sought out and i made sure you know that i

22
00:01:41,481 --> 00:01:45,381
had a little bit of everything thing i think the majority

23
00:01:45,381 --> 00:01:49,081
of the people doing this list had one

24
00:01:49,081 --> 00:01:51,741
maybe two consoles and they

25
00:01:51,741 --> 00:01:57,561
both started with n but don't you think so as a gaming journalist you can't

26
00:01:57,561 --> 00:02:02,781
be biased like that like a journalist in general i would think so but i don't

27
00:02:02,781 --> 00:02:06,681
know i i think just the majority of them like i said had a couple consoles they

28
00:02:06,681 --> 00:02:11,161
might have played you know turbo graphics here and there at at a friend's house or a Neo Geo or,

29
00:02:11,221 --> 00:02:13,881
you know, an Amiga Commodore 64 somewhere else.

30
00:02:13,941 --> 00:02:22,341
But I mean, it's obvious that they played primarily an NES, then went to Super

31
00:02:22,341 --> 00:02:23,481
Geo and then went to PlayStation.

32
00:02:23,681 --> 00:02:27,581
I mean, it's obvious, dude, because there's so many great games on these other

33
00:02:27,581 --> 00:02:31,221
systems. I mean, phenomenal games that didn't scratch the surface.

34
00:02:31,321 --> 00:02:34,741
And then some that some that you named and we both got pissed off.

35
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:35,681
Like, are you kidding me?

36
00:02:35,841 --> 00:02:41,541
That game's on the top 100. I wouldn't put that in the top 500.

37
00:02:42,493 --> 00:02:45,213
For those who don't know what we're talking about, if you listen to the episode,

38
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:49,673
we talked about Apex Scape made it to top one, like was number 100.

39
00:02:49,953 --> 00:02:54,333
And to me, that is just the biggest, craziest top 100 game of all time.

40
00:02:55,993 --> 00:02:59,153
That's a slap in the face to all true gamers, man. That one.

41
00:02:59,673 --> 00:03:02,753
But to be fair, there's definitely probably somebody out there who probably

42
00:03:02,753 --> 00:03:05,133
thinks that there's, you know, not thinks, but feels that that's their,

43
00:03:05,253 --> 00:03:08,733
you know, top 100 game of all time, if not number one game of all time. True.

44
00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:12,033
I have to agree with that because there's a lot of these quirky games that I

45
00:03:12,033 --> 00:03:15,793
really like. And the people are like, they wouldn't give it the time of day.

46
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:19,793
I mean, one of them is, I think we talked about before, a game that I absolutely

47
00:03:19,793 --> 00:03:22,573
loved. And it was super simple to play.

48
00:03:23,073 --> 00:03:26,113
But I just had a blast playing it, man. It was just funny to me.

49
00:03:26,133 --> 00:03:29,353
And I enjoyed it. Was A Dog's Life on the PS2.

50
00:03:29,893 --> 00:03:34,653
Yeah, that's a good one. I absolutely love that game, man. And I tell other

51
00:03:34,653 --> 00:03:37,613
people, like, oh, this is kind of stupid. Or even like Mr. Mosquito.

52
00:03:38,113 --> 00:03:41,073
It's called in japan i love those quirky games

53
00:03:41,073 --> 00:03:44,073
man but you know and i put those in my in my top you

54
00:03:44,073 --> 00:03:47,093
know you know 300 list or whatever they probably

55
00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:49,973
wouldn't see the light of day on others so to each their own i guess

56
00:03:49,973 --> 00:03:52,873
but i mean i'm i'm just we're just talking about what we

57
00:03:52,873 --> 00:03:55,673
agree on and what we don't agree on and i think we

58
00:03:55,673 --> 00:03:58,413
both don't agree on that one being a top 100 game for sure

59
00:03:58,413 --> 00:04:04,473
i think that's the biggest almost offense but whatever you know the people like

60
00:04:04,473 --> 00:04:08,393
what they like right but uh for this episode we're doing the top 200 now but

61
00:04:08,393 --> 00:04:14,253
when we did the top 100 that issue i think that issue came out in 2007 or something

62
00:04:14,253 --> 00:04:16,833
i thought so this one came out in 2009

63
00:04:17,273 --> 00:04:22,553
so we're about two two two years after i had to do the math right now two years after 2007

64
00:04:22,993 --> 00:04:27,953
so we are going no i'm sorry let me rephrase that no no that's not true it was

65
00:04:27,953 --> 00:04:33,073
2008 i'm sorry 2009 yeah hold on you know what i'm gonna have to edit this because

66
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:34,153
i don't remember now give me one

67
00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:41,553
second here give me one second and so anyways now that i got that out of the way.

68
00:04:43,513 --> 00:04:50,173
November of 2009 they did the top 200 games of all time now here is the interesting thing,

69
00:04:50,753 --> 00:04:53,913
you were talking about nintendo and favoritism right and i'm actually going

70
00:04:53,913 --> 00:04:58,553
to put each of these covers on our promo when we release this episode but for

71
00:04:58,553 --> 00:05:03,373
the 200 issue they did the top 200 and And they did, like, special commemorative covers.

72
00:05:03,733 --> 00:05:06,453
Now, these covers include the following games.

73
00:05:07,353 --> 00:05:13,673
The 8-bit version of Link from Legend of Zelda. Yep. The 8-bit version from Super Mario.

74
00:05:14,753 --> 00:05:19,413
Mm-hmm. I think, I guess, the Game Boy Color-looking version of Tetris.

75
00:05:20,933 --> 00:05:27,453
The image of, I guess he had no name, but the main character from Grand Theft Auto 3. Mm-hmm.

76
00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:31,990
What is his name from Half-Life 2, or Half-Life, the main guy?

77
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:33,430
Not Morgan Freeman. I know it's not right.

78
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:39,430
But it's Morgan, though, right? It's Morgan something, right? Yeah, I can't remember.

79
00:05:40,250 --> 00:05:43,650
Yeah, well, that main character from Half-Life, he was on the cover.

80
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:49,350
One of the demons from Doom, but the pixelated version, so like the old school Doom. Yeah, yeah.

81
00:05:50,130 --> 00:05:53,250
And then we have Samus Aran from the original Metroid.

82
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:58,290
And then you have all the cast, it looks like, from Final Fantasy 2 or 3.

83
00:05:58,290 --> 00:06:01,110
I can't i can't make that up but yes so what have

84
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:05,230
you noticed with all the games that i told you about they're all

85
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:09,030
on nintendo except for gta and

86
00:06:09,030 --> 00:06:14,150
half-life and half-life yeah yeah what do you think what was your thoughts on

87
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:18,150
half-life half-life 2 um arguably one of the greatest games that would make

88
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:22,690
my top 20 no problem really yeah i think half-life in my opinion it's like the

89
00:06:22,690 --> 00:06:26,470
closest thing to an action it was battle shock before battle shock i always

90
00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:28,170
felt a little slightly overrated.

91
00:06:29,170 --> 00:06:32,370
Really? Yeah. Well, we'll talk about that eventually.

92
00:06:32,470 --> 00:06:36,090
Cause that's going to be in this list. So, all right, sir, everybody listening,

93
00:06:36,590 --> 00:06:40,970
grab a beer, grab a drink and get ready. As we dive in to the top 200.

94
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:45,510
Now we might not do a deep dive on every game, but I will mention every game this time.

95
00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:48,230
Last, in last episode, we didn't mention every game this time.

96
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:52,650
We will, but we're going to start, sir, at 200, number 200.

97
00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:57,050
And if you have something to say, let's talk about it. If you don't, we can pass number 200.

98
00:06:57,650 --> 00:07:02,510
Beyond Good and Evil. Ooh, they're about doing a remake. Doing a remake of Beyond Good and Evil.

99
00:07:03,070 --> 00:07:05,610
But I'll tell you this, man. Already, I don't agree with this.

100
00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:07,130
I think that needs to be in the top 100.

101
00:07:08,348 --> 00:07:13,908
I would probably put it in the top 100 myself. Yeah, exactly. Definitely top 150.

102
00:07:14,648 --> 00:07:19,068
Yeah. That game was so ahead of its time. I mean, do you remember a lot about

103
00:07:19,068 --> 00:07:21,868
that game? Yeah, man. That game was just flat out fun.

104
00:07:22,448 --> 00:07:26,268
And the dialogue with the characters, you had the darkness, but you also had

105
00:07:26,268 --> 00:07:30,228
a lot of really good color, really good color palettes on there.

106
00:07:30,928 --> 00:07:34,668
God, if I remember correctly, I think it was only rated teen or something like that.

107
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:38,828
So anybody can play it. It reminded me a lot how much I enjoyed,

108
00:07:38,868 --> 00:07:40,928
like, Psychonauts, dude.

109
00:07:41,008 --> 00:07:47,308
It was in there just with that comedy, with the action, the adventure, the shooting.

110
00:07:47,408 --> 00:07:50,348
Yeah, there was just a bunch of different elements to that game. It was such a good game.

111
00:07:51,008 --> 00:07:54,968
Yeah, and people tend to forget, too, that was an Ubisoft classic before what

112
00:07:54,968 --> 00:07:58,028
they were, right? Before they became an Assassin's Creed machine.

113
00:07:59,808 --> 00:08:03,988
Yeah, pumping out every year. But number 199, I think you're really going to dig.

114
00:08:04,128 --> 00:08:08,908
And you might even be offended by this one. Number 199 is Tactics Ogre. Ooh.

115
00:08:10,408 --> 00:08:13,368
So me personally, Tactics Ogre, I would put in my top 100.

116
00:08:13,688 --> 00:08:17,608
Tactics Ogre is one of the best strategy games I played, and I used to play a lot back in the day.

117
00:08:17,768 --> 00:08:22,448
You know, starting, of course, with Military Madness on the Turbo, TurboGrafx.

118
00:08:22,748 --> 00:08:26,348
Then I went on to Shining Force on the Sega Master System and Game Gear.

119
00:08:26,888 --> 00:08:30,288
Shining Force 2, and of course, the incredible Shining Force 3.

120
00:08:30,728 --> 00:08:34,628
Too bad they didn't release, because Shining Force 3 was break down to three

121
00:08:34,628 --> 00:08:38,248
episodes. They only released episode one in America, but you can you can go

122
00:08:38,248 --> 00:08:42,588
out and get episodes two and three right now kind of repros and they're done

123
00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:45,648
very well and they're translated for you for the most part. Pretty good.

124
00:08:45,928 --> 00:08:49,448
So I recommend that. But Tactics Ogre. Yeah, man.

125
00:08:51,348 --> 00:08:54,248
Phenomenal game. Do you remember the strategy?

126
00:08:54,808 --> 00:09:00,148
The strategy on that game was just just next level. And God,

127
00:09:00,248 --> 00:09:01,248
the battles would take forever.

128
00:09:01,348 --> 00:09:04,708
You had to put aside at least an hour for one battle.

129
00:09:05,268 --> 00:09:06,768
Oh, for sure. Yeah, that was one

130
00:09:06,768 --> 00:09:09,548
of those games that took a long time to play, but it was so good. Yeah.

131
00:09:10,088 --> 00:09:14,308
So, so good. Because that was the foundation before Final Fantasy Tactics, correct?

132
00:09:14,608 --> 00:09:17,568
I believe so. I believe that came out before Final Fantasy Tactics.

133
00:09:17,788 --> 00:09:22,328
And Final Fantasy Tactics borrowed a lot from that and the Shining Force series for the most part.

134
00:09:23,121 --> 00:09:27,261
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it came out before that. And no knock on Final Fantasy Tactics.

135
00:09:27,541 --> 00:09:32,921
That was phenomenal, too. But Tactics Ogre, man, that game was just kind of came out of nowhere.

136
00:09:33,161 --> 00:09:36,801
Nobody really knew kind of what it was. And then, of course,

137
00:09:36,821 --> 00:09:39,361
you had the Ogre Battle series, Ogre Battle 64 and all that.

138
00:09:39,461 --> 00:09:41,541
But Tactics Ogre, man, one of my faves.

139
00:09:42,041 --> 00:09:46,941
And that game also had some of the coolest art cover, box art, too, I think. Oh, yes.

140
00:09:47,541 --> 00:09:50,841
Yeah. Dude, even the box alone, like if you were to sell just the box,

141
00:09:50,841 --> 00:09:53,721
could still sell for like not like tons of money but a

142
00:09:53,721 --> 00:09:56,581
good pretty penny for an empty box yeah i found a

143
00:09:56,581 --> 00:10:00,901
copy disc only tactics ogre ps1 at

144
00:10:00,901 --> 00:10:04,401

155
00:10:35,961 --> 00:10:38,681
of it but to get that game for five bucks man i was like i was

156
00:10:38,681 --> 00:10:44,401
stoked and yeah i guess it wasn't meant to be 198 is

157
00:10:44,401 --> 00:10:47,381
the legendary splinter cell pandora tomorrow

158
00:10:47,381 --> 00:10:50,661
oh yeah great game man i'm a huge splinter

159
00:10:50,661 --> 00:10:56,281
cell fan especially of the original trilogy and tomorrow was yeah they took

160
00:10:56,281 --> 00:10:59,021
all the complaints that i had about the first one and don't get me wrong i love

161
00:10:59,021 --> 00:11:02,301
the first one but there was like you know just stuff that oh they could have

162
00:11:02,301 --> 00:11:06,241
did this better and they fixed them and i know tomorrow and then perfected them

163
00:11:06,241 --> 00:11:08,181
in chaos theory i thought yeah great game.

164
00:11:08,641 --> 00:11:13,321
They need to bring Fisher back to like legit bring him back well he doesn't

165
00:11:13,321 --> 00:11:16,501
want to do it anymore I thought what's his face Ironside Rick well yeah the

166
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:17,541
boys I'm talking about the game.

167
00:11:18,261 --> 00:11:21,201
Oh yeah aren't they doing a remake of the original one though.

168
00:11:22,068 --> 00:11:24,728
That's what i heard and i hope it's not

169
00:11:24,728 --> 00:11:27,408
true because i'm tired of i'm tired of the money

170
00:11:27,408 --> 00:11:30,148
grabs on stuff like that man it's like oh we're gonna do

171
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:33,628
it or we're gonna do it in the in the same spirit as the first one because they

172
00:11:33,628 --> 00:11:37,688
did that with assassin's creed mirage and i'm sorry man mirage it was boring

173
00:11:37,688 --> 00:11:44,268
dude they took such a step back in the series man i i played it through i finished

174
00:11:44,268 --> 00:11:48,888
it but it's like okay i see what you were trying to do but honestly man i'd probably

175
00:11:48,948 --> 00:11:51,688
play the original one more than i would play

176
00:11:51,688 --> 00:11:54,388
mirage it looked beautiful but it's like

177
00:11:54,388 --> 00:11:58,268
you got the best you got the best weapons right from

178
00:11:58,268 --> 00:12:03,188
the get-go especially if you got the the pre-order edition you you never needed

179
00:12:03,188 --> 00:12:06,168
any other weapons and it was just like boring i was like what you know just

180
00:12:06,168 --> 00:12:09,948
i'm just pickpocketing people this whole time to get more stuff and doing a

181
00:12:09,948 --> 00:12:14,008
bunch of fetch quests and it had just got boring dude so i hope they don't do

182
00:12:14,008 --> 00:12:16,928
it that way i love love the first one don't get me wrong but.

183
00:12:17,868 --> 00:12:22,988
People want something that they're familiar with but new don't remake the old

184
00:12:22,988 --> 00:12:26,888
stuff man it's just tired now well if you're gonna do it you gotta do it like

185
00:12:26,888 --> 00:12:27,968
almost like how God of War did

186
00:12:27,968 --> 00:12:33,328
it right where it was like a remake reboot kind of thing yeah and and I'm,

187
00:12:34,393 --> 00:12:38,533
I'm partial on that one because I really liked the, you know,

188
00:12:38,553 --> 00:12:41,513
the overhead kind of view of the of the original God of Wars.

189
00:12:41,573 --> 00:12:43,773
And you're seeing the whole map and all the enemies coming at you.

190
00:12:44,293 --> 00:12:47,933
Don't get me wrong. The one that they eventually released on PS4,

191
00:12:48,013 --> 00:12:49,693
the remakes or whatever, they were good.

192
00:12:49,813 --> 00:12:52,893
I still prefer the old ones with the battle and all that stuff.

193
00:12:53,013 --> 00:12:55,473
And I thought the I thought the PSP version didn't get enough love.

194
00:12:55,593 --> 00:12:59,213
I thought those are fantastic, too. Yeah, those are. Yeah.

195
00:13:00,493 --> 00:13:03,933
But they did God of War right. They said, hey, we're going to we're going to take this game.

196
00:13:04,393 --> 00:13:07,793
Were to make it kind of tweak it a little bit and yeah i'm

197
00:13:07,793 --> 00:13:10,873
all for it so just please don't remake it exactly

198
00:13:10,873 --> 00:13:14,093
how the original was because a lot of people don't remember probably

199
00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:16,833
due to the very first spinner cell it was hard and

200
00:13:16,833 --> 00:13:22,253
it was slow very slow very very slow that was like i remember that was a game

201
00:13:22,253 --> 00:13:26,013
that i demoed at a store maybe we used to do demos at stores and i was like

202
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:30,593
oh wow this is a slow game but then when i when i rented it and played it at

203
00:13:30,593 --> 00:13:36,193
home i was like oh okay this This is way more fun than it's not a game you demo, right? Yeah.

204
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:40,353
Yeah. Well, they, and they tweaked it too. They tweaked it a little bit,

205
00:13:40,413 --> 00:13:43,633
but yeah, the way you, you had to hide the bodies, man.

206
00:13:44,113 --> 00:13:47,333
You had to hide everything. You had anything out in the open,

207
00:13:47,413 --> 00:13:50,833
even though you didn't see somebody come by, the alarm would go off and you're

208
00:13:50,833 --> 00:13:53,073
screwed after that. Once the alarm goes off, you're done.

209
00:13:54,373 --> 00:13:58,333
Yeah, absolutely. So these next, next two, we can kind of go through them.

210
00:13:58,393 --> 00:14:01,533
I think really fast. Last 197 is NHL 09.

211
00:14:01,953 --> 00:14:04,573
What's there to say about that? Let's move on.

212
00:14:05,813 --> 00:14:09,573
But also, why is it in the top 200, right? But that's, whatever.

213
00:14:10,493 --> 00:14:12,973
That's a filler game if you ask me. I don't know if you agree with that.

214
00:14:13,393 --> 00:14:18,673
Well, I can't say too much about NHL 09 because I don't think I have actually played that one.

215
00:14:19,053 --> 00:14:22,053
So I'm going to take that word for it. I played a lot of NHL games.

216
00:14:22,273 --> 00:14:24,733
My favorite being probably 93.

217
00:14:25,813 --> 00:14:32,673
I hated 97. 97 was booty. And I think I never played 09.

218
00:14:32,753 --> 00:14:36,293
I think I played up to I think I played up to.

219
00:14:37,238 --> 00:14:41,278
Oh oh five i think it was and like

220
00:14:41,278 --> 00:14:44,478
after after oh five my sports games kind

221
00:14:44,478 --> 00:14:47,438
of died off honestly so i was

222
00:14:47,438 --> 00:14:50,118
i had this hate relationship with ea because i was pissed off that

223
00:14:50,118 --> 00:14:53,318
they bought the rights to the nfl and visual

224
00:14:53,318 --> 00:14:56,338
concepts couldn't make any more nfl 2k games

225
00:14:56,338 --> 00:14:59,378
anymore or and that really ticked me off so

226
00:14:59,378 --> 00:15:02,158
you can save that you get to nfl 2k then

227
00:15:02,158 --> 00:15:05,138
you can get into that conversation decision yeah well pk not not

228
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:08,438
being in the top 100 is ridiculous well i can

229
00:15:08,438 --> 00:15:12,658
i already see it coming so 196 is

230
00:15:12,658 --> 00:15:16,358
the original call of duty what's there not to say about call of duty creating

231
00:15:16,358 --> 00:15:20,678
one of the most successful franchises of all time to this day you know and now

232
00:15:20,678 --> 00:15:25,018
microsoft owns it and now we're going to get it free day one with all the call

233
00:15:25,018 --> 00:15:28,498
duties going forward if you have game pass of course i think there's a lot to

234
00:15:28,498 --> 00:15:31,198
say about call of duty but i know it's going to show up more than one time,

235
00:15:31,298 --> 00:15:34,118
so let's just wait until we get to the most important Call of Duty that you

236
00:15:34,118 --> 00:15:37,718
think is for your Call of Duty, if you will. Yeah, okay.

237
00:15:38,538 --> 00:15:44,078
195 is the PC classic and RPG classic, Ultima. Oh, yeah.

238
00:15:44,938 --> 00:15:49,058
Yeah, Ultima is a game you cannot... I don't think you can talk about RPGs and

239
00:15:49,058 --> 00:15:50,158
not talk about Ultima, in my opinion.

240
00:15:50,478 --> 00:15:59,398
No, that has a stamp on the RPG gaming community forever. Ultima forever, dude.

241
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:03,038
Of course, It was way better on PC than any version that they made on console,

242
00:16:03,738 --> 00:16:07,738
just because of the whole keyboard aspect to it, the quick keys that you can use and all that stuff.

243
00:16:07,898 --> 00:16:12,878
But that was one of the dungeon crawlers, if you will, RPGs,

244
00:16:12,898 --> 00:16:20,898
that really, in my opinion, captured how you would play kind of a D&D board game.

245
00:16:21,098 --> 00:16:25,398
You know, Ultima, it was just, it was fantastic. The story, the characters,

246
00:16:25,638 --> 00:16:29,418
the gameplay, the interaction with them. Yeah, it was a fantastic game, man.

247
00:16:29,898 --> 00:16:32,558
Yeah and it's also people for those who don't know who developed that game he's

248
00:16:32,558 --> 00:16:36,598
a legend in the business Richard Garrett or Garriott I think it is or he used

249
00:16:36,598 --> 00:16:41,738
to go by Lord British yeah I don't know do you remember that no man did he lose his lordship.

250
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:45,502
No that was he didn't he wasn't actually

251
00:16:45,502 --> 00:16:49,182
a lord he just called himself that like dr gray

252
00:16:49,182 --> 00:16:51,922
yeah right but you know

253
00:16:51,922 --> 00:16:54,602
for those who don't know is that richard garriott i think

254
00:16:54,602 --> 00:16:57,322
it's garriott or garrett was actually the son

255
00:16:57,322 --> 00:17:00,962
of a nasa astronaut owen garrett oh that

256
00:17:00,962 --> 00:17:03,922
kind of makes a lot of sense because later on i remember not to

257
00:17:03,922 --> 00:17:07,142
go too far ahead in this but he did end up making a

258
00:17:07,142 --> 00:17:10,122
there was me he was making this game that

259
00:17:10,122 --> 00:17:12,842
was supposed to be because ultimately was his pride and joy right he

260
00:17:12,842 --> 00:17:15,702
kept doing that for a long time and they made like four i

261
00:17:15,702 --> 00:17:19,002
think i think maybe even five and then at some point he

262
00:17:19,002 --> 00:17:21,842
wanted to work with nc soft and remember

263
00:17:21,842 --> 00:17:24,662
that during the mmo hype he was creating this

264
00:17:24,662 --> 00:17:27,322
new mmo that everybody was so it was supposed to

265
00:17:27,322 --> 00:17:30,462
be the wow killer and it was called tabula rasa do

266
00:17:30,462 --> 00:17:33,882
you remember that yeah yes yeah oh

267
00:17:33,882 --> 00:17:38,942
man that's a that's a grab that's a yeah yeah

268
00:17:38,942 --> 00:17:45,302
i do remember that yeah and i remember i don't think i was working at the store

269
00:17:45,302 --> 00:17:50,942
yet at that time but i do remember buying the special edition of that game there

270
00:17:50,942 --> 00:17:56,322
because it got like nobody was buying it so it became like two dollars or like 4.99,

271
00:17:58,942 --> 00:18:01,802
and i play the game and guess what it sucks.

272
00:18:04,622 --> 00:18:07,482
That's what happens with some developers man

273
00:18:07,482 --> 00:18:10,442
they get you know they're they're they perfect their

274
00:18:10,442 --> 00:18:14,302
craft in a certain area build on something that they built already and

275
00:18:14,302 --> 00:18:18,082
it works it works it works and then they might

276
00:18:18,082 --> 00:18:20,822
get away from it think of a new idea and it doesn't work it happens all

277
00:18:20,822 --> 00:18:23,842
the time i mean we we saw that with with like

278
00:18:23,842 --> 00:18:26,742
yuji naka yeah it was with sonic and

279
00:18:26,742 --> 00:18:29,782
before that he did black belt which was fantastic on the

280
00:18:29,782 --> 00:18:32,442
sega master system it was like sega's answer to

281
00:18:32,442 --> 00:18:36,242
kung fu on nes i personally thought it was better but

282
00:18:36,242 --> 00:18:38,922
it was it was it was black belt is essentially fist in the

283
00:18:38,922 --> 00:18:42,002
north star in america but sega didn't have the rights to fist in the north star

284
00:18:42,002 --> 00:18:45,102
nintendo did so they had to change the name to black belt and change the characters

285
00:18:45,102 --> 00:18:49,742
and all this other stuff so yuji naka then uh went on to help create sonic the

286
00:18:49,742 --> 00:18:53,982
hedgehog from sonic the hedgehog they did had a sonic team he helped with fanny

287
00:18:53,982 --> 00:18:58,482
star online and then of course burning burning rangers and then,

288
00:18:59,162 --> 00:19:02,662
his latest one was an absolute flop the ballon

289
00:19:02,662 --> 00:19:06,302
wonderland oh yeah that's right i was like where are you going with this okay

290
00:19:06,302 --> 00:19:10,502
yeah yeah well yeah no because it shows like oh you're on top of your game all

291
00:19:10,502 --> 00:19:13,822
the stuff everything you touch is gold and all of a sudden you know it's like

292
00:19:13,822 --> 00:19:17,282
ballon wonderland and i and i picked it up just because i'm gonna i'm gonna

293
00:19:17,282 --> 00:19:19,682
knock a fan even though he He was in jail at the time,

294
00:19:19,702 --> 00:19:23,582
I think, because of insider training or insider trading or some shit he was doing.

295
00:19:24,878 --> 00:19:31,618
And I played it and it wasn't as horrible as people were saying,

296
00:19:32,178 --> 00:19:34,778
but I could see why people hated it. Cause it was just kind of boring.

297
00:19:34,858 --> 00:19:39,238
And it was like, he tried to, he tried to recapture like nights into dreams. It didn't work.

298
00:19:40,418 --> 00:19:43,598
So it was like a mixture of nights and Sonic and it just didn't work.

299
00:19:43,798 --> 00:19:46,458
And then he should have created something different, but that happens with a

300
00:19:46,458 --> 00:19:49,798
lot of developers, man. They, they used to one thing and they,

301
00:19:49,818 --> 00:19:51,258
and then they make caca and they're gone.

302
00:19:51,938 --> 00:19:55,678
Yep. And then talking about that, But speaking of cock of things,

303
00:19:55,858 --> 00:19:59,218
then he made an MMO that used NFTs.

304
00:19:59,518 --> 00:20:02,138
So you can imagine how that went. Oh, God.

305
00:20:03,038 --> 00:20:05,218
Yeah. Anyways, moving on.

306
00:20:06,378 --> 00:20:09,758
You know, we're already 20 minutes in. We haven't done 10 games yet.

307
00:20:09,938 --> 00:20:11,878
That's what I'm saying, man. We've got to blow through these. Let's go.

308
00:20:12,918 --> 00:20:15,698
Let's blow through these. Well, the next one, I feel like there's so much that's

309
00:20:15,698 --> 00:20:17,738
been said about this game that we don't need to say anything about it.

310
00:20:17,818 --> 00:20:20,978
And that is 194 Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

311
00:20:21,318 --> 00:20:25,638
Oh, God. How was that? I'm not even the biggest MVC2 fan.

312
00:20:25,838 --> 00:20:30,558
I'm not. And I know it's going to enrage a lot of people out there because I am a big fighting fan.

313
00:20:30,958 --> 00:20:36,178
And I've always thought Capcom versus SNK 2 was a better game. It's more skillful.

314
00:20:36,558 --> 00:20:41,778
But I understand it's a pill. I know a ton of people that like it.

315
00:20:42,258 --> 00:20:45,838
And I don't know of anybody who doesn't really play that game.

316
00:20:45,958 --> 00:20:49,838
Anytime people come over, I always get asked to put in MVC2.

317
00:20:50,198 --> 00:20:53,238
At Poplar Dreamcast, and it's on all night.

318
00:20:54,098 --> 00:20:57,898
How is that not in the top 100? That's crazy. I agree with that, too.

319
00:20:58,018 --> 00:21:01,518
Also, I want to point out that the system that they... Because everything is

320
00:21:01,518 --> 00:21:03,238
based on system, too. I just haven't been saying that.

321
00:21:04,118 --> 00:21:06,718
194 Marvel vs. Capcom is actually the Dreamcast version, too.

322
00:21:07,618 --> 00:21:09,858
They didn't put the other versions on there, so that's kind of cool,

323
00:21:09,918 --> 00:21:11,118
right? Well, they had to.

324
00:21:11,218 --> 00:21:13,358
Because, I mean, Marvel vs. Capcom, too, plays the Battle Carrier.

325
00:21:13,398 --> 00:21:14,418
Anybody who says it plays the best,

326
00:21:15,038 --> 00:21:17,878
especially at this time when this magazine came out, plays the

327
00:21:17,878 --> 00:21:20,858
best on the dreamcast the dreamcast it used

328
00:21:20,858 --> 00:21:23,758
the naomi board in the arcade which is essentially a dreamcast with more

329
00:21:23,758 --> 00:21:26,618
ram so it was like pretty much

330
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:32,378
arcade perfect so and anybody who like played the ps2 version later they could

331
00:21:32,378 --> 00:21:36,178
they could see some of the frames some of the timing was off and it wasn't till

332
00:21:36,178 --> 00:21:40,338
you know kind of recently with the with the with the newer systems that they

333
00:21:40,338 --> 00:21:43,898
were able to kind of perfect that stuff but i i would still prefer it on the dreamcast to this day.

334
00:21:44,318 --> 00:21:48,158
And they have the Marvelous Capcom Collection coming out, which is not going

335
00:21:48,158 --> 00:21:52,478
to be released, believe it or not, on the PS5 because apparently they had to

336
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:56,078
make a whole new engine to play it on the PS5 and they're not going to do it.

337
00:21:56,118 --> 00:21:57,238
So it's going to be released on PS4.

338
00:21:57,598 --> 00:22:00,998
Now, whether it's backwards compatible or not, we don't know 100% yet.

339
00:22:01,995 --> 00:22:04,595
But yeah, look out for that collection, man. It's going to make a lot of people

340
00:22:04,595 --> 00:22:07,475
happy. Well, I want to point out something about that collection.

341
00:22:07,595 --> 00:22:08,595
I'm glad you brought it up real fast.

342
00:22:09,475 --> 00:22:11,535
All those games on there are great, sure. I mean, they're great,

343
00:22:11,975 --> 00:22:15,895
whatever. But there's one specific game that I used to own the arcade for.

344
00:22:16,395 --> 00:22:19,735
And I think nobody talks about this fucking game. And it's one of the funnest

345
00:22:19,735 --> 00:22:23,835
beat-em-ups, side-scroller beat-em-up to come up. It's The Punisher.

346
00:22:24,815 --> 00:22:28,195
Yes! Yeah. And the fact that The Punisher is included on there,

347
00:22:28,335 --> 00:22:31,015
I think that makes it worth buying, 100%.

348
00:22:31,015 --> 00:22:33,955
You know what i i believe i bought that unit

349
00:22:33,955 --> 00:22:36,815
off of you you sold it you did yeah exactly

350
00:22:36,815 --> 00:22:41,315
the arcade went up and i forgot how much i liked the punisher man i started

351
00:22:41,315 --> 00:22:46,495
playing that game and i'm like dude why why is this not talked about this game

352
00:22:46,495 --> 00:22:52,515
is phenomenal yeah it's so good very much captures like the the over the top

353
00:22:52,515 --> 00:22:55,115
80s you know what the punisher was at the time right.

354
00:22:58,215 --> 00:23:02,255
Now if you don't know this Punisher is being removed from the Marvel world nowadays

355
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:06,175
because he's too offensive so there you go kind of like Chuck E.

356
00:23:06,215 --> 00:23:11,995
Cheese dude Five Nights at Freddy's comes out and now they take all the animatronics out of Chuck E.

357
00:23:12,075 --> 00:23:18,075
Cheese's what does America come to man alright alright everybody calm down,

358
00:23:19,895 --> 00:23:22,875
193 I have nothing to say about this we can

359
00:23:22,875 --> 00:23:29,015
move past this one pretty quickly jack three next 192

360
00:23:29,015 --> 00:23:32,715
in my opinion should be much higher eternal darkness

361
00:23:32,715 --> 00:23:36,275
sanity's workroom oh god yes dude i

362
00:23:36,275 --> 00:23:39,375
would personally probably put that it

363
00:23:39,375 --> 00:23:42,395
was a silicon knights i believe did i develop that one uh i

364
00:23:42,395 --> 00:23:45,495
would put that one probably in my top 100 and

365
00:23:45,495 --> 00:23:48,135
the main reason why is because that was

366
00:23:48,135 --> 00:23:51,335
was the first game that i played where it literally tricked

367
00:23:51,335 --> 00:23:54,315
me because they had like this one part

368
00:23:54,315 --> 00:23:58,855
if nobody's played it they have this one part where i mean this is the old school

369
00:23:58,855 --> 00:24:02,875
crt tvs right you had to plug in the white yellow and all that or s video if

370
00:24:02,875 --> 00:24:07,295
you're if you're lucky and there's this one part where the screen goes snowy

371
00:24:07,295 --> 00:24:11,675
and in the upper right corner it says like video yeah and.

372
00:24:12,375 --> 00:24:17,415
I'm seriously like dude what happened to my gamecube and i'm like i'm like tapping the

373
00:24:17,435 --> 00:24:20,195
screen like whatever and it was part of the game and it

374
00:24:20,195 --> 00:24:23,115
was tricking me tricking my mind into thinking

375
00:24:23,115 --> 00:24:26,215
that my gamecube went out and i literally like unplugged these

376
00:24:26,215 --> 00:24:28,975
plugs and plugged them back in and then i realized after a

377
00:24:28,975 --> 00:24:34,835
while crap dude this is part of the game and you got me you got me silicon knights

378
00:24:34,835 --> 00:24:39,155
and there's another part where your your insanity starts going higher the meter

379
00:24:39,155 --> 00:24:43,375
or whatever and then your controls start mixing up they start going reverse

380
00:24:43,375 --> 00:24:46,075
so you're You're pushing up and your character's going down.

381
00:24:46,095 --> 00:24:47,175
You go left, it goes right.

382
00:24:47,355 --> 00:24:51,355
It was stuff like that, just originality like that, that I love in games.

383
00:24:51,715 --> 00:24:56,595
And they took a chance with that, man. So yeah, Sanity's Requiem, for sure, in my top 100.

384
00:24:57,764 --> 00:25:00,904
Definitely top 125 for it to be that low.

385
00:25:01,484 --> 00:25:04,184
And again, getting beat out by Ape Escape.

386
00:25:04,724 --> 00:25:10,264
I was just gonna say that. That's gonna be the default right there.

387
00:25:10,344 --> 00:25:11,824
Where is it compared to Ape Escape?

388
00:25:13,084 --> 00:25:17,404
Exactly. Exactly. Alright. You know what? We did a whole episode on this next

389
00:25:17,404 --> 00:25:18,864
game, so we don't have to talk about it.

390
00:25:18,924 --> 00:25:21,324
And that is Metal Gear Solid 3. That's $191.

391
00:25:21,644 --> 00:25:24,244
Oh yeah. Check our episode on that one. Fantastic game.

392
00:25:26,044 --> 00:25:28,884

401
00:25:52,644 --> 00:25:55,964
um anyways moving on

402
00:25:55,964 --> 00:25:58,764
yes but this is not an episode everybody because it is a great

403
00:25:58,764 --> 00:26:01,944
episode and we do a deep dive in that that was like two

404
00:26:01,944 --> 00:26:07,684
episodes ago 190 190 and i actually have something to say about this game really

405
00:26:07,684 --> 00:26:12,384
fast and that is the chronicles of riddick escape from bunch of a one of the

406
00:26:12,384 --> 00:26:20,124
best movie game ever ever yeah yes i know i'm cool that I don't know if it deserves

407
00:26:20,124 --> 00:26:21,344
to be top 100 personally,

408
00:26:21,504 --> 00:26:25,744
but it's fucking good. It's definitely better than Apex Scape, but whatever.

409
00:26:27,944 --> 00:26:35,284
Yeah, man. I read something about Chronicles of Riddick 2, the movie. It was,

410
00:26:37,304 --> 00:26:45,144
basically the Alien 3 story, and then they changed it to Chronicles of Riddick.

411
00:26:45,984 --> 00:26:53,064
Something like Like, it's related to Alien and Alien 3 story somehow.

412
00:26:53,264 --> 00:26:56,544
I forgot where I read that, but you guys can look that one up on your own.

413
00:26:56,604 --> 00:26:58,344
You'll see what I'm talking about, the connection to that one.

414
00:26:58,884 --> 00:27:01,944
Yeah, I just wanted to point out, too, that this game was also developed very

415
00:27:01,944 --> 00:27:03,844
much heavily with Vin Diesel involved.

416
00:27:04,224 --> 00:27:07,844
And Vin Diesel, at the time, his production company actually made that game,

417
00:27:07,864 --> 00:27:10,064
was one of the developers on that game.

418
00:27:11,044 --> 00:27:13,724
And correct me if I'm wrong, there was a...

419
00:27:14,688 --> 00:27:17,808
Like i don't want to say i guess it was a special edition right that came with a,

420
00:27:18,308 --> 00:27:21,368
with two two games right it was the original xbox version

421
00:27:21,368 --> 00:27:24,348
and then the second like a like a like an expansion

422
00:27:24,348 --> 00:27:27,168
pack right i believe you're right yeah i'm not

423
00:27:27,168 --> 00:27:30,508
100 on that but i think i do remember that yeah my thing

424
00:27:30,508 --> 00:27:33,468
is that game was the same thing just obviously looked way better and

425
00:27:33,468 --> 00:27:36,348
it had better loading times better everything right and and

426
00:27:36,348 --> 00:27:39,028
that expansion make was pretty solid too i don't know why they didn't

427
00:27:39,028 --> 00:27:41,748
put that one on there not not the and why the original you know

428
00:27:41,748 --> 00:27:44,928
what i mean it's like when it's like when people put metagross solid one on there yeah

429
00:27:44,928 --> 00:27:47,788
i get it it's so good but twin snakes is

430
00:27:47,788 --> 00:27:51,208
arguably better right yeah yeah and i

431
00:27:51,208 --> 00:27:54,008
think i think i think they came out with a third version that came with

432
00:27:54,008 --> 00:27:57,348
the movie pacifier with vin diesel in it too get out

433
00:27:57,348 --> 00:28:00,888
of here yeah i'm joking now correct

434
00:28:00,888 --> 00:28:03,668
me if i'm wrong for 189 here oh yeah sorry product of

435
00:28:03,668 --> 00:28:06,588
the record was 190 uh 189 i'm pretty

436
00:28:06,588 --> 00:28:11,928
sure was much higher on the last list and that's kid icarus yeah kid icarus

437
00:28:11,928 --> 00:28:17,428
was in top 100 i think i think i want to say you named kid icarus in like top

438
00:28:17,428 --> 00:28:23,988
50 and i lost it no it's not the list right here it's uh 83 okay still.

439
00:28:24,648 --> 00:28:30,128
Not that good so and i think they realize it now you know what i mean like hey

440
00:28:30,128 --> 00:28:33,828
we kind of have this because how do you go from what 83 to how to what one what

441
00:28:33,828 --> 00:28:38,488
189 exactly yeah oh yeah So within a couple of years, it dropped that much.

442
00:28:38,548 --> 00:28:41,448
That just shows you again. Oh, you know what that shows you?

443
00:28:41,868 --> 00:28:44,048
They bought another console. Yeah.

444
00:28:45,377 --> 00:28:50,457
That's what that told you. That's funny. 188. I don't actually know what this game is.

445
00:28:50,617 --> 00:28:53,557
I don't know if you know this game, but if you don't know anything about it, we can move past it.

446
00:28:53,877 --> 00:28:56,597
That's a Planescape Torment. Yeah. On PC.

447
00:28:57,997 --> 00:29:02,237
Yeah. Do you have anything to say about it or no? No, I did not get into Planescape at all.

448
00:29:02,337 --> 00:29:07,757
I just know I was already working at a store and we sold the hell out of Planescape.

449
00:29:08,097 --> 00:29:12,237
So I know it has a huge following, but now I don't know much about it. Sorry guys. Okay.

450
00:29:13,257 --> 00:29:16,077
187. I have nothing to say because I think this is the most overrated game of

451
00:29:16,077 --> 00:29:19,937
all time in my opinion and that is Infamous really?

452
00:29:20,677 --> 00:29:27,797
I do love Infamous dude in fact I just started playing Infamous Second Son PS4

453
00:29:27,797 --> 00:29:31,377
because I never played it and I started playing and I was like man I freaking

454
00:29:31,377 --> 00:29:34,037
miss the Infamous series.

455
00:29:34,257 --> 00:29:40,037
I'm blown away that you don't like Infamous I thought the first one was so overhyped

456
00:29:40,037 --> 00:29:43,717
and so I was actually working on the story at the time and you guys were all

457
00:29:43,717 --> 00:29:48,057
like oh man it's just so great and then i remember getting it i forgot i think

458
00:29:48,057 --> 00:29:52,337
it was like it got really cheap i did not care for it now what i will tell you is,

459
00:29:53,057 --> 00:29:56,057
i've really liked only one infamous and

460
00:29:56,057 --> 00:29:59,057
that was infamous to the the diary of

461
00:29:59,057 --> 00:30:02,777
blood i think it's called vampire one or whatever blood festival

462
00:30:02,777 --> 00:30:05,957
yeah that was the old yeah that's that i loved

463
00:30:05,957 --> 00:30:09,277
that i thought that was so in even how

464
00:30:09,277 --> 00:30:12,097
do you love that one and not even like infamous because it has all

465
00:30:12,097 --> 00:30:15,397
the the the aspects of infamous in it sure i

466
00:30:15,397 --> 00:30:18,197
agree i just yeah i don't know man i did not care for it

467
00:30:18,197 --> 00:30:21,577
and then second son was coolish i guess but yeah i

468
00:30:21,577 --> 00:30:24,577
don't i do not care for infamous you know what i like i thought was better because

469
00:30:24,577 --> 00:30:27,597
it came out around the same time i thought prototype was better prototype was

470
00:30:27,597 --> 00:30:31,117
good though yeah i see this work i mean you disagree you like prototype more

471
00:30:31,117 --> 00:30:34,597
i like the infamous more but i respect prototype prototype was pretty dope man

472
00:30:34,597 --> 00:30:37,757
the way your character can morph and all that stuff and different abilities

473
00:30:37,757 --> 00:30:44,037
yeah prototype was sick all right 186 Marvel Madness hmm.

474
00:30:45,656 --> 00:30:49,816
Yeah, I get it. Sorry, the arcade version.

475
00:30:50,056 --> 00:30:54,996
Yeah, the arcade. Yes, for sure. I get it because that was kind of the first

476
00:30:54,996 --> 00:30:58,996
game in arcades, I think, that was kind of like more of a puzzle.

477
00:30:59,916 --> 00:31:04,376
It had a puzzle element to it and it was skill based on the trackball.

478
00:31:04,596 --> 00:31:05,656
Because you had a trackball.

479
00:31:06,036 --> 00:31:11,016
People don't know what a trackball is. It's essentially almost like a cue ball

480
00:31:11,016 --> 00:31:14,076
that you play when you're playing billiards or pool.

481
00:31:14,076 --> 00:31:17,576
And it's set in the the face where

482
00:31:17,576 --> 00:31:20,476
the buttons would be in arcade unit and it's just there and

483
00:31:20,476 --> 00:31:27,536
you literally use that to push move left and right and you had to be very precise

484
00:31:27,536 --> 00:31:32,696
in the arcade version of marvel madness i remember when they brought it to consoles

485
00:31:32,696 --> 00:31:36,156
it used the controller and i was kind of like cheating if you're lucky enough

486
00:31:36,156 --> 00:31:38,376
to go get the the trackball peripheral

487
00:31:38,636 --> 00:31:41,576
that made it way more arcade like

488
00:31:41,576 --> 00:31:45,196
but still not as challenging arcade and that

489
00:31:45,196 --> 00:31:48,136
was kind of the attraction to marble

490
00:31:48,136 --> 00:31:52,236
madness was the skill base and i remember guys going putting their quarters

491
00:31:52,236 --> 00:31:57,936
up in the arcade i was at peter piper pizza i think it was we used to go to

492
00:31:57,936 --> 00:32:01,276
there's people lined up just say i can get further than you because i got more

493
00:32:01,276 --> 00:32:05,036
skill and that was it was kind of weird because everybody's going for that was

494
00:32:05,036 --> 00:32:06,336
back in the days where everybody's going for high score.

495
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:08,856
So, I get it. I get it.

496
00:32:10,176 --> 00:32:12,816
I don't have much to say, so I'm going to pass that one. 185,

497
00:32:13,016 --> 00:32:18,136
and I also think this ranked differently on the top 100, and that is Super Mario

498
00:32:18,136 --> 00:32:19,496
World 2, Yoshi's Island.

499
00:32:20,356 --> 00:32:22,336
I really liked Super Mario 2.

500
00:32:23,496 --> 00:32:26,936
I liked Yoshi's Island. I really did. I thought it was a little too neat.

501
00:32:27,816 --> 00:32:31,476
It was definitely made for, I think, a younger generation for sure.

502
00:32:32,056 --> 00:32:33,836
But I liked it. I don't have a problem with it being there.

503
00:32:34,716 --> 00:32:39,096
Yeah, actually, it didn't even make the top 100 so i was wrong on that moving

504
00:32:39,096 --> 00:32:44,056
fast that 184 you know i know this game fairly well but i don't know enough

505
00:32:44,056 --> 00:32:46,976
to talk about it i don't think we really have to i think people should look

506
00:32:46,976 --> 00:32:52,636
into some of these games themselves and this is 184 the playstation the classic vagrant story,

507
00:32:53,316 --> 00:32:59,736
oh so vagrant story i have a story i have a story about vagrant story okay i

508
00:32:59,736 --> 00:33:04,036
i think one of the the better games that square came out with on the PlayStation

509
00:33:04,036 --> 00:33:07,416
is kind of forgot about kind of like a Einhander same thing.

510
00:33:08,955 --> 00:33:12,375
But I already had a copy of this game and I loved it.

511
00:33:12,955 --> 00:33:17,355
And when KB Toy Store was closing down, I went in there. I was working on them

512
00:33:17,355 --> 00:33:19,655
all the time. And that's when I went in there and I bought.

513
00:33:19,795 --> 00:33:25,235
And I talked about this before. I bought all the Virtual Boys that they had

514
00:33:25,235 --> 00:33:27,915
in stock because they were selling them for $25 each.

515
00:33:28,655 --> 00:33:31,315
That's right. Nintendo pulled the plug on them. I was like, how many you got?

516
00:33:31,435 --> 00:33:33,095
We got four. I'll take them all, dude.

517
00:33:33,415 --> 00:33:36,035
He was like, what? I was like, dude, these things suck. And I was like,

518
00:33:36,055 --> 00:33:37,175
yeah, whatever, dude. Just give them to me.

519
00:33:37,675 --> 00:33:43,295
And i went in i went into their box that was by the register and it had all

520
00:33:43,295 --> 00:33:48,275
these clearance games and i found vagrant story original black because i think

521
00:33:48,275 --> 00:33:49,875
later on they came out with a green,

522
00:33:50,715 --> 00:33:57,115
label on it i'm not sure about that all i know is i found a sealed copy for five dollars.

523
00:33:58,855 --> 00:34:01,635
And yeah and back i mean it sounds awesome now but back

524
00:34:01,635 --> 00:34:05,215
then it was like nobody knew what vagrant story was so i bought it i still have it sealed never

525
00:34:05,215 --> 00:34:08,375
opened that one because i already had one now yeah now that

526
00:34:08,375 --> 00:34:11,855
one's starting to become highly sought after and

527
00:34:11,855 --> 00:34:14,575
i'm surprised uh square never did a sequel to

528
00:34:14,575 --> 00:34:18,795
vagrant story man that game was cool yeah i never got that either i know it

529
00:34:18,795 --> 00:34:21,915
had a solid enough following it didn't really go anywhere though after that

530
00:34:21,915 --> 00:34:26,395
first one so yeah but you know what today was retro being cool again who knows

531
00:34:26,395 --> 00:34:30,275
it probably do like a remake or you know what i mean it's one day and then the

532
00:34:30,275 --> 00:34:33,455
original one shoots up in price and i'm i'm all for it.

533
00:34:33,775 --> 00:34:39,655
There you go. This one, I'm sure you have something to say. So, 183, NFL 2K5.

534
00:34:41,115 --> 00:34:45,195
I'm calling it NFL 2K5 to this day, in my opinion.

535
00:34:45,695 --> 00:34:49,115
You gotta give us the original version, because we already have almost 40 minutes.

536
00:34:49,695 --> 00:34:53,855
Okay, I'll give you the quick version. In my opinion, the best football game

537
00:34:53,855 --> 00:34:57,255
ever made from the ground up. You had online play.

538
00:34:57,875 --> 00:35:02,915
When you did, it was more accurate than anything that was out there at the time. More fun to play.

539
00:35:02,975 --> 00:35:10,775
The presentation that Visual Concepts did on this game to this day has not been replicated. I'm sorry.

540
00:35:10,995 --> 00:35:14,275
You can try to debate me all you want. It hasn't.

541
00:35:14,435 --> 00:35:21,775
I still play this game on my original Xbox, and I'm just like wowed on the presentation that they do.

542
00:35:22,195 --> 00:35:25,135
Digital Chris Berman doing the halftime show, showing the highlights,

543
00:35:25,275 --> 00:35:29,595
all the stats, the commentator, the fact that you can do a play,

544
00:35:29,655 --> 00:35:33,855
and then you hit God, I think it's you hit down on the left stick or something like that.

545
00:35:33,955 --> 00:35:37,655
And you can look your person. You got first person football so you could play

546
00:35:37,655 --> 00:35:41,195
as alignment. It was fun to play as alignment and block the quarterback.

547
00:35:41,375 --> 00:35:45,295
And then you hit the down on the left stick or right stick, depending on your configuration.

548
00:35:45,835 --> 00:35:50,035
And your your character would look up at the Jumbotron and the Jumbotron was

549
00:35:50,035 --> 00:35:52,335
showing the replay. I mean, just like.

550
00:35:53,471 --> 00:35:56,331
Props of visual concepts on there and i hope to god

551
00:35:56,331 --> 00:35:59,751
when ea finally gets the

552
00:35:59,751 --> 00:36:02,571
nfl license is finally freed up and they have to do another

553
00:36:02,571 --> 00:36:09,091
one that they let other companies make an nfl game because the world needs visual

554
00:36:09,091 --> 00:36:13,491
concepts back in the football market dude yeah that would be that'd be pretty

555
00:36:13,491 --> 00:36:20,451
great man just and really quickly remind me wasn't that game released at at a MRSP of $20?

556
00:36:20,691 --> 00:36:26,351
It was $20. And that was the first time because NFL 2K was already selling very well.

557
00:36:26,571 --> 00:36:31,611
But it wasn't really multi-system. It was mostly on the Dreamcast at the time.

558
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:34,731
But then when Sega started doing, okay, we're making PS2 games.

559
00:36:34,871 --> 00:36:37,971
I think that started in 2K3, 2K4, I think it was.

560
00:36:38,311 --> 00:36:44,571
But when 2K5 came out, they released the game for $20. It was.

561
00:36:45,431 --> 00:36:50,531
Oh, dude, we were selling I mean, we had diehard Madden people coming in and

562
00:36:50,531 --> 00:36:53,311
go, let me get that 2K. Why? Because it was 20 bucks.

563
00:36:53,571 --> 00:36:57,111
They were about to go blow it on some McDonald's or go to Chili's.

564
00:36:57,111 --> 00:36:58,731
You know what I mean? So it's like, why not?

565
00:36:58,811 --> 00:37:01,651
Stay home, save money, a great football game.

566
00:37:01,871 --> 00:37:09,431
And that's what brought a lot of people on board and helped NBA 2K become behemoth that it was.

567
00:37:10,630 --> 00:37:16,350
All right. 182. I know you probably have something to say about this,

568
00:37:16,410 --> 00:37:17,250
but give me the abridged version.

569
00:37:17,850 --> 00:37:20,890
182 Samurai Showdown, the Neo Geo 1993.

570
00:37:21,890 --> 00:37:26,150
Oh, man. Arcade Perfection, the presentation.

571
00:37:26,450 --> 00:37:31,910
You first start, and then the camera zooms in. That was the first time I ever seen a game.

572
00:37:32,770 --> 00:37:36,430
Remember that? Yeah, I forgot. And they start fighting, and

573
00:37:36,730 --> 00:37:40,590
then the camera will zoom in, and then when you spread out, the camera would

574
00:37:40,590 --> 00:37:45,050
zoom out and this was all 2D sprites dude this was not polygon this was sprite

575
00:37:45,050 --> 00:37:48,070
based and then your swords would come together and you would have to tap the

576
00:37:48,070 --> 00:37:50,430
swords and try to come unlocked and somebody would lose their sword

577
00:37:50,850 --> 00:37:54,530
and you had to go over it and try to pick it up because you were defenseless

578
00:37:54,530 --> 00:37:57,730
dude badass game and I gotta give props to,

579
00:37:59,230 --> 00:38:05,430
SNK on this in the Neo Geo arcade it had a lot of people don't know if you could

580
00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:09,630
find it you'll still see it but it had a headphone jack so you could pop your

581
00:38:09,630 --> 00:38:13,610
headphones in and listen to the stuff all by yourself. And I also had a memory card slot.

582
00:38:13,970 --> 00:38:19,010
So you can, if you had a Nintendo AES at home, you can take the memory card,

583
00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:22,270
say you're playing Metal Slug or whatever the case may be,

584
00:38:22,750 --> 00:38:27,290
or even some of the fighting games, a single player mode, and you can save it,

585
00:38:27,330 --> 00:38:30,510
take it to the arcade, pop it in, put your quarter in, and it would have the

586
00:38:30,510 --> 00:38:32,430
option, would you like to continue your game?

587
00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:35,790
Yes. And you would continue from whatever level you were on.

588
00:38:36,370 --> 00:38:37,530
That's pretty awesome, man.

589
00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:44,130
181 you know again this is a mega hit game everybody knows about it I feel like

590
00:38:44,130 --> 00:38:48,190
we're going to save this title a lot and that is Call of Duty Modern Warfare

591
00:38:48,190 --> 00:38:53,230
2 one of my favorites man is that your favorite Call of Duty,

592
00:38:54,489 --> 00:39:03,329
No. Okay. I would say Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. The first Modern Warfare

593
00:39:03,329 --> 00:39:04,069
was probably my favorite.

594
00:39:04,709 --> 00:39:07,669
Yeah, and that's what I want to say because I'm assuming it's going to be on

595
00:39:07,669 --> 00:39:10,529
this list. And when it's on that list, we can talk more about Call of Duty.

596
00:39:12,469 --> 00:39:17,109
180, I got to tell you, this is one of the games that I've owned on every single

597
00:39:17,109 --> 00:39:19,829
console. I will continue to buy it on every single console.

598
00:39:20,029 --> 00:39:25,729
And I will buy it if they remake it. I'll do whatever ever I can because i let

599
00:39:25,729 --> 00:39:31,349
me guess go ahead it's not metal gear let me guess laser suit larry,

600
00:39:32,309 --> 00:39:35,349
yeah exactly imagine if that game was on

601
00:39:35,349 --> 00:39:38,629
here it might be it might

602
00:39:38,629 --> 00:39:41,389
be you're right no this game oh my

603
00:39:41,389 --> 00:39:44,169
god it means the world to me when i played it

604
00:39:44,169 --> 00:39:47,509
it took things that i loved such as film noir and comic

605
00:39:47,509 --> 00:39:50,589
books and it made it into a game that you never it

606
00:39:50,589 --> 00:39:53,469
was just so ahead of its time storytelling of its time

607
00:39:53,469 --> 00:39:56,209
and they're still putting on games just as good as this

608
00:39:56,209 --> 00:39:59,309
one obviously much better that is the legendary

609
00:39:59,309 --> 00:40:02,309
original max pain yeah i know

610
00:40:02,309 --> 00:40:06,969
you're a huge max pain man yeah i i love that game i mean there's very few games

611
00:40:06,969 --> 00:40:11,529
have hooked me like that and that game man and then don't get me started about

612
00:40:11,529 --> 00:40:16,209
number two number two is my favorite that would max pain max pain 2 would probably

613
00:40:16,209 --> 00:40:20,309
be in my top 10 games of all time to be honest What do you feel about them doing the remakes?

614
00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:24,789
Well, they haven't released that yet, though, right? No, they said they're working

615
00:40:24,789 --> 00:40:28,289
on it. Yeah, it's coming. They're working on it, yeah. But here's what I don't know.

616
00:40:28,549 --> 00:40:31,009
Is Sam Lake involved again or no?

617
00:40:31,369 --> 00:40:33,509
I have no idea. I don't know.

618
00:40:34,189 --> 00:40:36,209
Because he's doing all the Alan Wake things right now, right?

619
00:40:37,089 --> 00:40:41,149
So I would be curious to see. That's one thing I actually really like about Alan Wake.

620
00:40:41,269 --> 00:40:45,869
In the first Alan Wake, when you're in one of the offices, If you look down,

623
00:40:52,009 --> 00:40:54,609

00:41:31,874 --> 00:41:40,794
yep all right here we go 179 nba jam yeah man yeah that's a great game uh well

633
00:41:40,794 --> 00:41:45,074
it i i gotta go ahead i'll let you go first i was just gonna say we did it me

634
00:41:45,074 --> 00:41:48,094
and mike actually did a whole episode on NBA Jam in our early days.

635
00:41:48,394 --> 00:41:51,234
So I don't want to get too much. I already said everything I had to say about

636
00:41:51,234 --> 00:41:53,174
NBA Jam, so I'm going to let you say what you got to say.

637
00:41:53,814 --> 00:41:58,214
So there was a bunch of different versions of NBA Jam. You, of course, had the arcade version.

638
00:41:58,434 --> 00:42:02,934
And then you had, at the time, the Super Nintendo version came out,

639
00:42:02,954 --> 00:42:05,074
and it was much closer to the arcade.

640
00:42:05,714 --> 00:42:09,954
And then they had the Genesis version, which anybody who played the Genesis

641
00:42:09,954 --> 00:42:13,214
version can tell you, it was much different.

642
00:42:13,214 --> 00:42:19,554
It was done by a different development team, and there was stuff in that game

643
00:42:19,554 --> 00:42:23,894
that you did not see in a SNES or arcade version.

644
00:42:25,394 --> 00:42:30,414
Mainly the size of the characters, their jumping abilities and their blocking abilities.

645
00:42:31,214 --> 00:42:35,014
And I gotta say, after playing the arcade version, SNES version,

646
00:42:35,154 --> 00:42:37,914
and the Genesis version, and this is not me being a say-good-bye-us guy,

647
00:42:37,994 --> 00:42:43,394
because I admit when I am, the Genesis version I thought was way more fun, dude.

648
00:42:44,114 --> 00:42:50,034
Okay. I believe you. Anybody who's played all three, they know exactly what I'm talking about, man.

649
00:42:50,114 --> 00:42:55,414
It was kind of NBA Jam extreme before NBA Jam Extreme came out.

650
00:42:55,894 --> 00:43:00,214
They took stuff that much more over the top, and I loved it.

651
00:43:00,914 --> 00:43:04,554
Yeah, my favorite version of NBA Jam is the Wii. No, I'm kidding, by the way.

652
00:43:07,434 --> 00:43:13,874
Could you imagine that? My favorite NBA Jam was the Wii version. Fired. Fired.

653
00:43:15,494 --> 00:43:18,054
Number 178. I don't really know a whole lot about this game.

654
00:43:18,114 --> 00:43:19,434
I do know it's loved by a lot of people.

655
00:43:19,754 --> 00:43:25,234
There were some great things when it came out, and that was That is Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney.

656
00:43:26,114 --> 00:43:28,854
Yeah, Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney. I get it.

657
00:43:28,974 --> 00:43:32,994
I couldn't get into the game because I'm not a reader, so I can't sit there

658
00:43:32,994 --> 00:43:36,234
and just listen to it, but I just remember people playing it,

659
00:43:36,294 --> 00:43:37,734
and you could hear, Objection!

660
00:43:38,334 --> 00:43:42,174
Objection! And I was like, that's got to be one of the quirkiest games,

661
00:43:42,294 --> 00:43:46,694
which is kind of weird because I like weird games like that and original games,

662
00:43:47,174 --> 00:43:51,754
but anything that has a lot of text to it, I typically don't play.

663
00:43:51,914 --> 00:43:54,794
And it's not because I don't find them interesting.

664
00:43:55,054 --> 00:43:58,314
I just... I'm not real good at comprehension when I read. I've always had that

665
00:43:58,314 --> 00:44:01,094
kind of... I don't want to call it a disability or anything like that.

666
00:44:01,154 --> 00:44:04,314
But it's just something that I'm not really good at.

667
00:44:04,334 --> 00:44:11,294
And I think it's somewhat of my slight dyslexia growing up.

668
00:44:11,354 --> 00:44:14,674
And I'm just not a reader, man. But if anybody...

669
00:44:15,987 --> 00:44:22,687
Is a reader and likes that kind of, it's kind of a strategy kind of reading law-based anime.

670
00:44:25,607 --> 00:44:28,947
It's called a, technically it's a visual novel, right? There you go. Yeah.

671
00:44:30,647 --> 00:44:33,287
And that's why whenever we talk about like comic books and stuff,

672
00:44:33,327 --> 00:44:36,107
I give it to you. Cause I'm like, I don't, I don't do that.

673
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:40,927
Yeah. So, I mean, but, but it's a good game. Check it out. I mean,

674
00:44:40,927 --> 00:44:42,787
I definitely think people should check it out. I think it's fair.

675
00:44:42,847 --> 00:44:44,227
I think it's worth being on top 200.

676
00:44:44,727 --> 00:44:48,187
That's a good, you know what I mean? again i don't know if ape escape is better

677
00:44:48,187 --> 00:44:53,827
than that but whatever i'd probably say his attorney is phoenix right is is

678
00:44:53,827 --> 00:44:56,207
is probably better than i have to escape.

679
00:44:57,547 --> 00:45:01,807
That's so fucking funny these next three sir which i'm just gonna name them

680
00:45:01,807 --> 00:45:05,347
off and just move past them because we talked about them before and that is

681
00:45:05,347 --> 00:45:11,907
tekken 3 castlevania and dig dug 177 176 175 174 i'm gonna bring up because

682
00:45:11,907 --> 00:45:14,047
i know you probably have something to say about it I actually,

683
00:45:14,107 --> 00:45:16,687
I love this game, but I'm going to tell you this.

684
00:45:16,787 --> 00:45:19,647
When I played it, I played it when I was on the Game Boy Advance for the first time.

685
00:45:19,767 --> 00:45:22,267
And that is Gunstar Heroes. Oh.

686
00:45:22,967 --> 00:45:26,467
You played that on Game Boy? That was the first time I played it, yeah.

687
00:45:27,567 --> 00:45:30,567
Shame on you. Well, remember, I didn't have a Sega Genesis growing up.

688
00:45:30,687 --> 00:45:33,227
So when I got to play it, it was when it was released on that.

689
00:45:33,327 --> 00:45:37,687
And in fact, I think you sold it to me because, you know, I think I was at one

690
00:45:37,687 --> 00:45:38,567
of your stores when I was younger.

691
00:45:38,967 --> 00:45:43,247
And I think, if I remember correctly, I was looking at the box and you said,

692
00:45:43,287 --> 00:45:45,507
oh, that was one of the coolest games when you were growing up.

693
00:45:45,687 --> 00:45:49,307
Yeah. And they did a good job. They did a really good job on,

694
00:45:49,387 --> 00:45:53,387
I don't think it was, I don't know if it was M2 that did that one, the translation.

695
00:45:53,467 --> 00:45:58,147
But yeah, Gunstar Heroes on the Game Boy Advance, they did a really good job

696
00:45:58,147 --> 00:46:00,267
on that one and Guardian Heroes as well.

697
00:46:00,567 --> 00:46:05,307
Well, the Gunstar Heroes was Sega Genesis. Guardian Heroes was Sega Saturn.

698
00:46:05,307 --> 00:46:10,447
Both made original original versions both made by my all-time favorite development

699
00:46:10,447 --> 00:46:14,387
team treasure who was like kind of a spawned out of a konami.

700
00:46:15,924 --> 00:46:21,184
Still to this day my my favorite all-time favorite development team man i love

701
00:46:21,184 --> 00:46:27,204
it 173 this is a tricky one because this was this was in the top 100 and now

702
00:46:27,204 --> 00:46:28,904
it's not and that is a load runner,

703
00:46:30,004 --> 00:46:32,804
yeah yeah i we talked about load

704
00:46:32,804 --> 00:46:37,164
runner yeah i i played someone arcade yeah i had a big following but we can

705
00:46:37,164 --> 00:46:42,364
move on i i don't i didn't believe it was in the top deserve to be in the top

706
00:46:42,364 --> 00:46:50,444
100 at the time and this just proves me right so this went from 52 to 173.

707
00:46:52,424 --> 00:46:55,804
Yeah man again i think

708
00:46:55,804 --> 00:46:59,624
it comes the fact that these mfs got

709
00:46:59,624 --> 00:47:02,344
new consoles and said hey you know what there's a lot of

710
00:47:02,344 --> 00:47:05,904
shit out there that uh is better that's so

711
00:47:05,904 --> 00:47:08,664
funny 172 and you can dive

712
00:47:08,664 --> 00:47:12,384
into this really quickly because i know you got something to say ikaruga gamecube oh

713
00:47:12,384 --> 00:47:16,324
yeah what boom home they put on gamecube yeah

714
00:47:16,324 --> 00:47:19,124
exactly isn't that crazy i know that's why i said dude

715
00:47:19,124 --> 00:47:27,904
they put that that's a sega saturn absolute classic right there you can do it

716
00:47:27,904 --> 00:47:33,984
was it that wasn't sega saturn us though right no that's wow oh is that what

717
00:47:33,984 --> 00:47:37,944
they're doing top top 100 us U.S.? Yeah, everything's been U.S., dude.

718
00:47:38,604 --> 00:47:42,364
No, no, I'm saying the list that they're doing, it says top 100 U.S.?

719
00:47:42,364 --> 00:47:46,144
It doesn't say that, but I guess it's... No, they can kiss my ass.

720
00:47:46,404 --> 00:47:48,544
That's what they say. That's a Sega Saturn classic.

721
00:47:49,004 --> 00:47:52,844
Always has been. You could put your TV sideways in vertical,

722
00:47:52,984 --> 00:47:55,584
a.k.a. Tate mode on the Sega Saturn.

723
00:47:55,764 --> 00:47:58,164
The sprites on that game were absolutely incredible.

724
00:47:58,524 --> 00:48:01,984
You bring your... Get the little right button, right shoulder button on the

725
00:48:01,984 --> 00:48:04,964
Sega pad to bring out your sword. You could suck up the energy.

726
00:48:05,544 --> 00:48:12,024
Explode at two-player mode at the same time just 2d classic bullet hell shmup

727
00:48:12,024 --> 00:48:18,884
in my top five all time yeah i know you want to come to shmup yeah yeah number

728
00:48:18,884 --> 00:48:21,664
171 i just really started.

729
00:48:22,924 --> 00:48:27,104
Nintendo on that just this is that shows you again that shows you again they

730
00:48:27,104 --> 00:48:32,624
do not have sega freaking consoles man yeah but again but but i'm gonna have

731
00:48:32,624 --> 00:48:36,764
to i'm gonna have to be the judge on this one and I have to tell you it has

732
00:48:36,764 --> 00:48:40,964
to be because they're going with US launches I know it doesn't say that but

733
00:48:40,964 --> 00:48:42,044
that has to be what they're doing,

734
00:48:43,282 --> 00:48:46,442
We'll see. We'll see. Okay. All right. 171.

735
00:48:46,682 --> 00:48:50,522
I just started replaying this game actually on the PC because I never beat it.

736
00:48:50,582 --> 00:48:52,822
And that is the Rockstar Classic Bully.

737
00:48:53,742 --> 00:48:55,662
Yeah, I couldn't get into Bully. So I'm going to leave this one to you.

738
00:48:56,222 --> 00:48:59,002
Yeah, Bully, I really dig. It's basically just Grand Theft Auto,

739
00:48:59,162 --> 00:49:00,402
but for teenagers, right?

740
00:49:00,662 --> 00:49:05,482
You play a kid who's like a troublemaker, but he's like the bad boy.

741
00:49:05,542 --> 00:49:06,522
He's like the Fonzie, right?

742
00:49:06,622 --> 00:49:10,122
He's like the Fonz where it's like he's a bad boy, but he has a heart of gold,

743
00:49:10,202 --> 00:49:13,842
right? That kind of thing. but it has the classic rock star sense of humor.

744
00:49:14,322 --> 00:49:16,242
You know, if you play Grand Theft Auto, you know what I'm talking about,

745
00:49:16,662 --> 00:49:18,162
but it's more toned down.

746
00:49:19,262 --> 00:49:23,682
Really, the only thing that you couldn't do in that game anymore, I was replaying it.

747
00:49:23,742 --> 00:49:29,182
They're making a lot of jokes about gays, and I definitely know you can't do that no more. Yeah.

748
00:49:30,242 --> 00:49:34,062
I mean, look at what they did on GTA, Ballad of Gay Tony. You know what I mean?

749
00:49:34,582 --> 00:49:39,002
It just, it ain't happening no more. I will say on Bully, I got a good shout

750
00:49:39,002 --> 00:49:40,362
out to my coworker, Chloe.

751
00:49:41,362 --> 00:49:47,162
Who is the biggest bully fan that I know. So any release that they do of Bully, she buys.

752
00:49:47,802 --> 00:49:52,582
Usually multiple copies, even if they changed the box art and they did the PlayStation

753
00:49:52,582 --> 00:49:54,642
Greatest Hits version, she got it.

754
00:49:54,862 --> 00:49:59,422
I think even her password to get in the computer was something that had to do with Bully.

755
00:49:59,542 --> 00:50:03,562
So Chloe, if you're listening, props to you, biggest Bully fan I know.

756
00:50:04,442 --> 00:50:09,682
That's funny. 170, this was actually also in the top 100, and now it's not.

757
00:50:09,762 --> 00:50:15,562
We talked about it last time. and that is ridge racer yeah you know what i don't

758
00:50:15,562 --> 00:50:20,602
have a problem with it being a top 100 though ridge racer was one of the other

759
00:50:20,602 --> 00:50:23,282
than virtual racing it was one of the first polygonal,

760
00:50:23,882 --> 00:50:28,562
racing games and namco just knocked it out of the park man with a different

761
00:50:28,562 --> 00:50:33,082
you know the camera the helicopters coming above you i mean it gave it gave

762
00:50:33,082 --> 00:50:36,542
virtual racing obviously a run for its money it was it was like you know virtual

763
00:50:36,542 --> 00:50:40,342
racing on steroids if you will and then the big one at At the time,

764
00:50:40,362 --> 00:50:43,462
the arcade was Daytona and Ridge Racer held its own,

765
00:50:43,562 --> 00:50:46,122
man, because it was more of a single player racing game.

766
00:50:46,262 --> 00:50:50,862
And when it eventually came to the PlayStation for home, it was it was basically

767
00:50:50,862 --> 00:50:53,342
arcade perfect, man. I game's phenomenal.

768
00:50:53,662 --> 00:50:57,182
And the drifting, the drifting on the game was sick.

769
00:50:57,282 --> 00:51:02,202
And anybody who gets the PlayStation version, you got to go out and you know

770
00:51:02,202 --> 00:51:05,802
about this because I always, always freaking preach about this controller.

771
00:51:05,802 --> 00:51:09,442
You have to get the Namco Nedgecon controller.

772
00:51:10,604 --> 00:51:13,824
The greatest racing controller ever made.

773
00:51:13,984 --> 00:51:19,024
And we'll let's put a picture of it on our, on the, on the, on your, uh, uncle dad.

774
00:51:19,724 --> 00:51:24,804
Yeah. Cause it was, it was a controller that had like a little spin wheel in

775
00:51:24,804 --> 00:51:27,264
the middle and you would twist your controller left or right.

776
00:51:27,364 --> 00:51:32,464
And it was the first, first controller that had analog buttons for gas and brake

777
00:51:32,464 --> 00:51:35,564
and, and the shoulder buttons were analog as well.

778
00:51:35,624 --> 00:51:39,584
So it was fantastic for Ridge racer and it really worked well for wipeout.

779
00:51:39,584 --> 00:51:43,344
You beat anybody's time with this controller and it was almost like it was cheating,

780
00:51:43,444 --> 00:51:49,124
but it wasn't because when you plug the controller in, Ridge Racer and Wipeout

781
00:51:49,124 --> 00:51:51,424
recognize the Negicon controller,

782
00:51:51,664 --> 00:51:56,684
and it had the different screen that you can go to and modify the controller. Fantastic.

783
00:51:57,444 --> 00:52:02,464
But here's my thing, though. It went from 51 to 170.

784
00:52:04,064 --> 00:52:08,624
So they decided at this point that Ape Escape is still better.

785
00:52:09,844 --> 00:52:16,104
Fuck. I'm an ape escape, dude. When can I escape from ape?

786
00:52:16,564 --> 00:52:19,304
Well, I'm curious if it's on this list.

787
00:52:20,524 --> 00:52:22,804
It's probably like 400. I don't

788
00:52:22,804 --> 00:52:24,924
think it's going to be on this list anymore. I really don't think so.

789
00:52:25,524 --> 00:52:28,984
Alright, these next ones, we're going to kill them real fast.

790
00:52:30,304 --> 00:52:34,904
169, 168, 167. Braid. Tempest 2000. Jaguar.

791
00:52:35,444 --> 00:52:42,944
Doom 2. PC. oh i gotta say tempest 2000 jaguar is an incredible game man it

792
00:52:42,944 --> 00:52:48,404
is worth that one and and and alien versus predator worth the price of admission

793
00:52:48,404 --> 00:52:51,424
yeah i agree i absolutely agree those are great games,

794
00:52:52,784 --> 00:53:01,024
166 165 we don't have to talk about it and that is king's quest four five and peggle wow,

795
00:53:02,799 --> 00:53:07,259
I think that's wild. The Peggle's even on this list. But I'm more okay with it.

796
00:53:07,659 --> 00:53:11,639
I wouldn't even argue that Peggle's better than Ape Escape. It is better than Ape Escape.

797
00:53:15,159 --> 00:53:16,479
Everything's better than Ape Escape.

798
00:53:20,359 --> 00:53:23,819
Oh, man. Why? We'll get to that later. Anyways.

799
00:53:24,759 --> 00:53:31,659
I'd rather play Double Dragon with one button than play Ape Escape. I know.

800
00:53:34,259 --> 00:53:37,739
Uh 164 and 163 uh is

801
00:53:37,739 --> 00:53:40,859
x-com uh ufo defense but that's the original pc version

802
00:53:40,859 --> 00:53:44,739
i've never played that so which they re-released just recently yep but

803
00:53:44,739 --> 00:53:47,859
i never played the original 1993 release so i can't talk about it and

804
00:53:47,859 --> 00:53:54,279
the second one and 163 is robotron 2084 arcane classic oh yeah arcade classic

805
00:53:54,279 --> 00:53:59,199
right there dude robotron for sure arcade classic 162 and i gotta be honest

806
00:53:59,199 --> 00:54:04,079
with you this in my opinion is the weakest of the of the series and that is

807
00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:07,359
far cry the first one yeah,

808
00:54:07,979 --> 00:54:12,859
now do they say pc or console pc i know the pc is probably great yeah yeah the

809
00:54:12,859 --> 00:54:17,219
pc was different than the console the console version of far cry i think came

810
00:54:17,219 --> 00:54:21,999
out a little bit too late but i remember when the first far cry came out my

811
00:54:21,999 --> 00:54:27,199
friend elton got it and we saw it and that was Because at that time,

812
00:54:27,219 --> 00:54:33,999
the most beautiful first-person shooter game I've ever seen.

813
00:54:34,099 --> 00:54:35,999
The water, the jungle, everything.

814
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,299
And I think it might have got on this list just because of that.

815
00:54:39,399 --> 00:54:44,599
Because it was shocking on how advanced their visuals were to anything that

816
00:54:44,599 --> 00:54:47,079
was out at the time. They really took it to the next level.

817
00:54:47,279 --> 00:54:49,579
And you can only play it on PC at that time because the consoles,

818
00:54:49,679 --> 00:54:50,999
there's no way they can handle them.

819
00:54:51,279 --> 00:54:55,279
And it didn't come out until later on. But for the series, I agree,

820
00:54:55,479 --> 00:55:00,619
and I think me and you both agree, that there's two Far Cries that stick out.

821
00:55:01,692 --> 00:55:05,272
I'm going to say one of them, and I know you know the other one. Far Cry 3.

822
00:55:06,472 --> 00:55:09,952
And you know the other one. I'm going to say Far Cry 5.

823
00:55:13,092 --> 00:55:18,152
Which one are you going to say? Tell me. Remember, it was the little expansion for Far Cry 3?

824
00:55:18,772 --> 00:55:21,572
No, but that doesn't count, because that's not an expansion. That's not the game.

825
00:55:21,912 --> 00:55:25,212
That kind of counts, dude, because they re-released it as its own.

826
00:55:25,532 --> 00:55:29,392
And it was 80s glory, dude. Come on. Yeah, Blood Dragon. Yeah,

827
00:55:29,472 --> 00:55:31,472
Blood Dragon's great. But I'm going to tell you this, man.

828
00:55:31,692 --> 00:55:35,492
Far Cry 3, I love, but I don't think it's the best. I think Far Cry 5 is the

829
00:55:35,492 --> 00:55:36,252
best, and I'll tell you why.

830
00:55:36,612 --> 00:55:40,832
Far Cry 3 is great the first half because of the villain, right?

831
00:55:41,952 --> 00:55:46,752
That villain is amazing. Vos, he is just... You've never seen somebody like

832
00:55:46,752 --> 00:55:49,272
that in a video game. At least not in a long time.

833
00:55:49,572 --> 00:55:53,152
And then when he's gone, the game's not that great anymore.

834
00:55:53,472 --> 00:55:57,492
I think the villain... Nobody remembers who the fuck that other villain is after

835
00:55:57,492 --> 00:55:58,212
that. You know what I mean?

836
00:55:58,732 --> 00:56:02,172
It's kind of weak. but Far Cry 5, have you played that? Have you beat it?

837
00:56:02,632 --> 00:56:06,452
I haven't beat it, no but it didn't grab me the way Far Cry 3 did Dude,

838
00:56:06,532 --> 00:56:08,452
Far Cry, you gotta give it another chance I think you should give it another

839
00:56:08,452 --> 00:56:12,112
chance I'll give it another shot, for sure Now that you said that,

840
00:56:12,172 --> 00:56:15,072
I will fight I've been kind of fiending to play a first person,

841
00:56:15,732 --> 00:56:18,232
shooter that's not Doom, that's not you know.

842
00:56:20,392 --> 00:56:27,812
That style just shmup I'm not shmup, but just like mindless shoot-em-up first-person

843
00:56:27,812 --> 00:56:32,052
shooter, so I'll give number five another shot, but I remember playing it.

844
00:56:32,112 --> 00:56:35,152
I put a couple hours into it and it didn't grab me that much,

845
00:56:35,172 --> 00:56:37,692
so I'm kind of surprised that you liked that one more than three.

846
00:56:38,610 --> 00:56:42,230
Too, because that game gets better the more you play it.

847
00:56:42,330 --> 00:56:44,870
Because I kind of agree with you. When I first started playing it,

848
00:56:44,990 --> 00:56:46,890
I don't think it really hooked me.

849
00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:51,230
But then the more and more you play it, and you learn about these different

850
00:56:51,230 --> 00:56:55,390
characters, and this main character, and the ending, the ending just makes it

851
00:56:55,390 --> 00:56:59,010
so worth it because it's kind of like a twist ending, and you're like,

852
00:56:59,110 --> 00:57:01,310
oh, fuck. You know what I mean?

853
00:57:02,470 --> 00:57:05,730
I would say that first statement that you made, I don't know, man.

854
00:57:05,850 --> 00:57:08,850
Could you do get a lot better in Far Cry 3? because you've got to remember,

855
00:57:08,970 --> 00:57:15,930
the whole Sambuca shots, you're partying with your boys, and then you're a scared little kid.

856
00:57:16,030 --> 00:57:21,190
By the end of Far Cry 3, you are a freaking badass, dude. You are missing for trouble.

857
00:57:21,990 --> 00:57:24,670
Yeah, but see, here's the thing. The gameplay wasn't my issue.

858
00:57:24,790 --> 00:57:27,230
That's not what I'm saying. It's the story that I have an issue with.

859
00:57:27,450 --> 00:57:31,470
No, let's talk about the character. I'm just talking about the character in general. Okay.

860
00:57:32,230 --> 00:57:36,790
Yeah, you're right. When the antagonist, the main, well,

861
00:57:36,890 --> 00:57:39,870
I wouldn't say the main one, one but yeah the one the one guy who does all

862
00:57:39,870 --> 00:57:42,510
the horrible stuff he does yeah i agree like after that it's like

863
00:57:42,510 --> 00:57:45,190
okay what am i doing yeah right i mean

864
00:57:45,190 --> 00:57:47,950
dude but far cry 5 when i said when i also when i say character and

865
00:57:47,950 --> 00:57:50,930
i guess i should have specified i meant that the villain the main

866
00:57:50,930 --> 00:57:56,370
villain he is so good and you know and the actor who plays it like you can just

867
00:57:56,370 --> 00:58:00,090
tell like because you know this one not far cry 3 they didn't do mocap yet like

868
00:58:00,090 --> 00:58:05,110
full-on mocap performances where this one it's a full-on mocap performance so

869
00:58:05,110 --> 00:58:08,650
you can tell that's a man acting and it's like Like, oh, man, it's so good.

870
00:58:08,730 --> 00:58:11,390
And again, that ending, I don't want to spoil it for anybody who hasn't played

871
00:58:11,390 --> 00:58:14,450
it, but the ending is just, it's insane.

872
00:58:14,810 --> 00:58:19,410
It's like everything you're doing and then the ending hits and you're like, whoa, what the fuck?

873
00:58:21,010 --> 00:58:25,050
And for those who aren't familiar with the term mocap, that means motion capture.

874
00:58:25,270 --> 00:58:29,470
So they actually take the characters, actors, put those little shiny balls on

875
00:58:29,470 --> 00:58:33,650
them and actually film them talking and stuff like that. So it looks way, way more realistic.

876
00:58:34,530 --> 00:58:38,970
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. so they so next three we'll just power through

877
00:58:38,970 --> 00:58:46,690
these as well 161 is geometry wars ah geometry wars retro evolved 360 160 is

878
00:58:46,690 --> 00:58:53,090
thief the original pc classic 159 is the pc classic battlefield 1942,

879
00:58:54,150 --> 00:58:58,930
great game 158 as well we don't talk about because let's be honest everybody

880
00:58:58,930 --> 00:59:02,190
their whole mother and arguably this game should be in the top 50s that we're

881
00:59:02,190 --> 00:59:06,310
talking about performance or sorry uh like necessity in gaming, and that's Pong.

882
00:59:07,190 --> 00:59:13,170
Yeah, top 50 for sure. You can play Pong to this day and have fun with it. It's like Galaga.

883
00:59:14,070 --> 00:59:16,630
Yeah, it's like Galaga. It's virtual tennis...

884
00:59:17,753 --> 00:59:20,853
Alpha you know what i mean like it's it's it's the very very

885
00:59:20,853 --> 00:59:23,933
first kind of one-on-one i'm better

886
00:59:23,933 --> 00:59:26,813
than you at this ridiculous little sports game

887
00:59:26,813 --> 00:59:29,753
and it could still start fights

888
00:59:29,753 --> 00:59:34,673
to this day 100 100 157 is

889
00:59:34,673 --> 00:59:38,093
the ps2 classic devil may cry oh yeah

890
00:59:38,093 --> 00:59:41,373
which which a lot of people know this was supposed

891
00:59:41,373 --> 00:59:45,533
to be named resident evil yes yeah yeah

892
00:59:45,533 --> 00:59:48,153
it was well it was supposed to be the new kind of

893
00:59:48,153 --> 00:59:51,253
like revamp resident evil after resident evil

894
00:59:51,253 --> 00:59:54,073
was it three i think it was and then it was it was kind of

895
00:59:54,073 --> 00:59:56,893
like quiet for a while and then they were

896
00:59:56,893 --> 00:59:59,753
yeah if you look at the original if you find the original code for

897
00:59:59,753 --> 01:00:04,273
devil may cry it actually says re on it yeah it's crazy too because i actually

898
01:00:04,273 --> 01:00:08,193
vaguely remember that because i think a magazine was talking about it i think

899
01:00:08,193 --> 01:00:12,313
right well like there was magazines reporting on that dome that before that

900
01:00:12,313 --> 01:00:14,673
was called down by my cry that resident evil is going to be more action oriented

901
01:00:14,673 --> 01:00:18,373
right yep just like uh just like.

902
01:00:19,193 --> 01:00:21,933
Assassin's creed assassin's creed was was going to be

903
01:00:21,933 --> 01:00:25,753
prince of persia that's right yep yeah don't

904
01:00:25,753 --> 01:00:30,373
make cry i mean one of the best action games i think action horror games to

905
01:00:30,373 --> 01:00:34,373
ever come out i think the first the first two specifically the second one i

906
01:00:34,373 --> 01:00:39,113
think are just absolutely incredible then they remade it which was a cool remake

907
01:00:39,113 --> 01:00:44,153
called don't make cry but you know what i mean It became its own big-time franchise, right?

908
01:00:44,653 --> 01:00:47,173
Yeah, I was like, what? It was called DMC or something like that?

909
01:00:47,773 --> 01:00:51,793
Yeah, DMC. I didn't like two. I didn't like two. I loved one.

910
01:00:51,953 --> 01:00:54,053
I didn't like two. But I loved three.

911
01:00:55,033 --> 01:00:56,573
Dante's... No, I'm sorry.

912
01:00:57,516 --> 01:01:01,756
Or something like that, but I didn't care I got that mixed up,

913
01:01:01,816 --> 01:01:05,076
I'm sorry that's the one I really loved was the third one, sorry,

914
01:01:05,176 --> 01:01:10,756
because the second one was two discs and it sucked yeah, it was mediocre at

915
01:01:10,756 --> 01:01:12,396
best, they took a step back on that one,

916
01:01:14,236 --> 01:01:21,536
number 156 is the arcade classic, the original Gauntlet the original Gauntlet that's great badly.

917
01:01:24,036 --> 01:01:29,356
Oh my god, we threw so many quarters into that game in the arcade. Oh, my God. Tokens.

918
01:01:29,596 --> 01:01:32,716
That's the first time I learned what stringing is.

919
01:01:33,336 --> 01:01:38,216
So we would get a string or, at the time, my girlfriend's hair.

920
01:01:38,836 --> 01:01:42,756
She had really long hair, really long black hair, like went down to her butt.

921
01:01:43,096 --> 01:01:48,136
And anyways, we'd get her hair and we'd take some tape, tape her hair to a quarter

922
01:01:48,136 --> 01:01:51,356
and just gently slide it into the coin slot.

923
01:01:51,856 --> 01:01:54,856
And we'd hear it to where it registered. her and when you

924
01:01:54,856 --> 01:01:58,256
do that one it goes oh what did gauntlet say it

925
01:01:58,256 --> 01:02:02,216
didn't say anything i think it just went and i would

926
01:02:02,216 --> 01:02:05,056
sit there and just kind of flicker the the or trigger

927
01:02:05,056 --> 01:02:07,656
the the hair or her hair and it would go

928
01:02:07,656 --> 01:02:12,576
and we would put so many freaking credits in that thing man to try to finish

929
01:02:12,576 --> 01:02:15,976
it and i had all my friends because it's a four-player arcade game and then

930
01:02:15,976 --> 01:02:20,856
eventually we got busted and kicked out but i i just i just remember somebody

931
01:02:20,856 --> 01:02:25,416
would you'd play four players And it was like, oh, wizard, shut the food.

932
01:02:25,916 --> 01:02:28,976
And you're like, dude, what the fuck, man? You get all pissed off at everybody.

933
01:02:29,576 --> 01:02:36,136
And if nobody's played this, when it comes to Gauntlet, there was Gauntlet on the Sega Genesis.

934
01:02:36,776 --> 01:02:39,456
And I want to say it was called Gauntlet 4, maybe. Maybe.

935
01:02:40,583 --> 01:02:42,983
But it was essentially the arcade version, kind of on steroids,

936
01:02:43,183 --> 01:02:45,963
but it had a battle mode in there. Do you remember that?

937
01:02:46,663 --> 01:02:50,503
No, I don't, actually. Yeah, so you can hook up the four-player adapter to the

938
01:02:50,503 --> 01:02:56,963
Genesis, play four-player co-op, but it also had a battle mode on there, dude.

939
01:02:57,143 --> 01:03:00,523
And I would always choose the wizard because I'd freeze time,

940
01:03:00,923 --> 01:03:05,683
and I'd go up and just hack them with my staff because everybody chose the elf

941
01:03:05,683 --> 01:03:08,203
or the warrior, and I was like, dude, I'm going to jack you guys up,

942
01:03:08,223 --> 01:03:09,943
man. That was some fun, man.

943
01:03:10,583 --> 01:03:13,863
If you can find Gauntlet on the Genesis, it's pretty pricey.

944
01:03:14,203 --> 01:03:15,763
But four-player mode battle was fun.

945
01:03:16,883 --> 01:03:19,523
Well, you have a lot to say about that game. You have a lot to say about this

946
01:03:19,523 --> 01:03:23,143
next one. Also, I think what we're going to do here, sir, is we're already at an hour.

947
01:03:23,683 --> 01:03:27,523
So let's just make this in two parts as well. And we're going to go to 150,

948
01:03:27,863 --> 01:03:29,643
then we'll do the rest next episode. Sound good?

949
01:03:30,183 --> 01:03:32,243
Yeah, because when you told me we're going to go through 100,

950
01:03:32,463 --> 01:03:33,683
I was like, there's no way.

951
01:03:34,203 --> 01:03:41,703
There's no way we're going to go through 100 games in like 45 or 200 games. 45 minutes. No way.

952
01:03:43,343 --> 01:03:46,163
So we'll just go to 150 and then we'll stop there.

953
01:03:47,203 --> 01:03:49,443
Alright, so the next game though, I know you're going to have something to say

954
01:03:49,443 --> 01:03:54,323
because you were arguably the reason why that game sold so well at our store.

955
01:03:54,583 --> 01:04:00,023
And that is the Xbox 360 classic at number 155, Crackdown.

956
01:04:00,743 --> 01:04:03,543
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

957
01:04:04,563 --> 01:04:07,603
Crackdown, man. I used to tell everybody like, hey, you got to try this game.

958
01:04:07,723 --> 01:04:10,363
A lot of people bought it because I believe it came with a

959
01:04:10,363 --> 01:04:13,103
demo of halo i thought it

960
01:04:13,103 --> 01:04:15,963
i think was the only way around for halo yeah halo came

961
01:04:15,963 --> 01:04:18,683
with demo of crackdown that's right you're right and i

962
01:04:18,683 --> 01:04:21,543
was like dude this game's pretty badass man and i'm not

963
01:04:21,543 --> 01:04:24,263
a fan of really a big fan of third-person shooters but it

964
01:04:24,263 --> 01:04:27,083
was more of kind of an advanced adventure kind of shooter

965
01:04:27,083 --> 01:04:30,163
and i to this day think that it

966
01:04:30,163 --> 01:04:33,443
has one of the best targeting systems ever made

967
01:04:33,443 --> 01:04:36,463
on a third-person shooter so if

968
01:04:36,463 --> 01:04:39,303
nobody knows especially when you get like the sniper

969
01:04:39,303 --> 01:04:42,063
rifle so you'll get the sniper rifle and you can aim at

970
01:04:42,063 --> 01:04:44,883
somebody and it goes into first person mode but then you

971
01:04:44,883 --> 01:04:47,823
can use the d-pad to target the

972
01:04:47,823 --> 01:04:50,843
head the torso left arm right

973
01:04:50,843 --> 01:04:55,303
arm and i just thought that was ingenious so you would zoom in and say there

974
01:04:55,303 --> 01:05:00,043
was some guy who had who had a he was holding the bazooka in his right arm you

975
01:05:00,043 --> 01:05:04,883
zoom in you then hit the right d-pad and it would target his right arm and you

976
01:05:04,883 --> 01:05:08,223
would just snipe and that whole arm would just just

977
01:05:08,643 --> 01:05:13,463
fall off sometimes the weapon would explode and i was like man how come more

978
01:05:13,463 --> 01:05:18,263
people aren't more development teams aren't using this technique i thought it

979
01:05:18,263 --> 01:05:22,423
was awesome dude and then if you aim for the head remember the receptacle it

980
01:05:22,423 --> 01:05:25,843
would take a while for to really go to pinpoint headshot,

981
01:05:26,763 --> 01:05:32,543
that was that was badass dude yeah you know crackdown was one of those games that i remember um.

982
01:05:33,741 --> 01:05:39,241
I think that was developed by one of the original Grand Theft Auto developers, right? Yes.

983
01:05:39,981 --> 01:05:43,081
Yeah, and then he went on to do that before he went on, and then he left that

984
01:05:43,081 --> 01:05:45,081
to do APB, which I don't know why.

985
01:05:45,541 --> 01:05:50,741
But anyways, Crackdown, I really, really didn't get into at first.

986
01:05:50,861 --> 01:05:52,581
Even when you were talking about it, I really didn't get into it.

987
01:05:52,681 --> 01:05:56,581
I actually got more into it later in life when one day, actually not that long

988
01:05:56,581 --> 01:05:57,641
ago, I was like, you know what?

989
01:05:57,721 --> 01:06:00,461
I should really give this game a try because it's free on Game Pass.

990
01:06:00,461 --> 01:06:05,041
And I was like, man, this is this is such a solid game. Like, it's such a solid.

991
01:06:05,401 --> 01:06:09,001
But the thing is, Crackdown 2 was also pretty solid. But Crackdown 3,

992
01:06:09,121 --> 01:06:10,581
I did not give a shit about.

993
01:06:11,941 --> 01:06:16,361
I kind of it grew on me. So Crackdown 1, fantastic.

994
01:06:16,561 --> 01:06:20,441
Crackdown 2, they kind of got rid of the targeting system, which I was kind of pissed off about.

995
01:06:20,881 --> 01:06:24,381
At least they kind of did. You didn't use a D-pad anymore.

996
01:06:24,561 --> 01:06:28,521
You use your analog stick and you could still target. But it just wasn't as

997
01:06:28,521 --> 01:06:30,261
intuitive. It wasn't as accurate.

998
01:06:30,961 --> 01:06:35,841
But Crackdown 3, at first, I was like, okay, I see where they're going,

999
01:06:35,981 --> 01:06:38,861
more flashiness. But as I played it, it kind of grew on me.

1000
01:06:39,301 --> 01:06:43,201
And I love Terry Crews' character in it.

1001
01:06:43,761 --> 01:06:47,121
Yeah. No, he's great. He's great. Yeah, dude, I loved his character,

1002
01:06:47,221 --> 01:06:49,321
especially, like, later on when he started powering up.

1003
01:06:49,361 --> 01:06:52,041
He started saying stuff that he wasn't saying in the very beginning.

1004
01:06:52,481 --> 01:06:55,081
And I just liked that he had fun with it.

1005
01:06:55,581 --> 01:06:59,321
And to this day, I always wanted to meet Terry Crews so he could sign my copy

1006
01:06:59,321 --> 01:07:03,121
of Crackdown 3. because I personally think Crackdown 3 was an underrated game.

1007
01:07:03,261 --> 01:07:06,501
I don't think it was the greatest. I don't think it's the best of the Crackdown

1008
01:07:06,501 --> 01:07:11,541
series by far, but I thought it didn't get as much love as it should have.

1009
01:07:12,521 --> 01:07:20,861
For the Xbox One, including what was that one game where you I think you were on skates and...

1010
01:07:20,861 --> 01:07:24,061
Oh, Sunshine Overdrive? Yeah, dude, same thing, man.

1011
01:07:24,821 --> 01:07:29,341
Sunset Overdrive. Sunset Overdrive, yeah. I put in the same thing as Sunset

1012
01:07:29,341 --> 01:07:32,101
Overdrive. I don't think it got the props it should have. It was a fun game.

1013
01:07:32,841 --> 01:07:35,861
Yeah, you know, Crackdown in general, I think if you're going to put any Crackdown

1014
01:07:35,861 --> 01:07:39,561
on the top 200 list, it should be the first one, right? But think about this.

1015
01:07:40,461 --> 01:07:42,881
Ape Escape is still better than Crackdown.

1016
01:07:45,661 --> 01:07:51,161
Let's end it on that note. We still got five more. I want to go to 150. Okay, okay.

1017
01:07:52,661 --> 01:07:53,941
So we're going to go to 150 here.

1018
01:07:55,461 --> 01:07:58,461
If they got Ape Escape above of like toe jamming

1019
01:07:58,461 --> 01:08:03,581
or all i'm fucking losing my shit dude 154 this

1020
01:08:03,581 --> 01:08:06,681
is another one you're probably gonna think it's controversial for me i actually

1021
01:08:06,681 --> 01:08:09,661
think it's one of the most overrated ps3 games or sony games

1022
01:08:09,661 --> 01:08:13,581
of all time it's cool i know what it did like technology wise i know what it

1023
01:08:13,581 --> 01:08:17,181
did as far as like creative wise i think you're i think you liked it a lot and

1024
01:08:17,181 --> 01:08:22,521
that's awesome i just think they made way too many of them and it inspired too

1025
01:08:22,521 --> 01:08:27,101
much and in my opinion it's It's the first one's the only one that's okay.

1026
01:08:27,461 --> 01:08:28,921
And that is a little big planet.

1027
01:08:30,510 --> 01:08:34,630
I would probably agree with you on that one. Really? I thought you would disagree.

1028
01:08:35,510 --> 01:08:41,010
No, because I agree. LittleBigPlanet was cool. I never really did like their jumping mechanics.

1029
01:08:41,350 --> 01:08:44,810
I hated it. I hated the jumping mechanics. Yeah, I didn't like it.

1030
01:08:44,890 --> 01:08:49,290
I thought number two was good because of the whole, the way you can make your

1031
01:08:49,290 --> 01:08:51,050
own game, your own levels and stuff.

1032
01:08:51,430 --> 01:08:56,390
And I thought that added a lot to it. For those who weren't able to dig deep into it,

1033
01:08:56,390 --> 01:08:59,230
it i i highly recommend you go back because it's

1034
01:08:59,230 --> 01:09:02,310
it's it's a little bit easier to play and then that

1035
01:09:02,310 --> 01:09:06,070
spawned the game uh i don't know if you ever picked up dreams for ps4

1036
01:09:06,070 --> 01:09:09,030
where you can actually literally develop your

1037
01:09:09,030 --> 01:09:13,350
own game and that's kind of spawned from little big planet 2 when they first

1038
01:09:13,350 --> 01:09:17,010
kind of dabbled in that it was a great idea but if you don't have a keyboard

1039
01:09:17,010 --> 01:09:22,270
and mouse trying to program it with a controller is just impossible yeah i mean

1040
01:09:22,270 --> 01:09:26,590
i'm not gonna hate on that It was fun. It was fun, but.

1041
01:09:29,250 --> 01:09:32,770
There's definitely better out there. It Takes Two is one that comes to my mind

1042
01:09:32,770 --> 01:09:34,610
right away. Oh, sure, sure.

1043
01:09:35,610 --> 01:09:38,550
153? I don't think we're talking about this because it's an arcade classic,

1044
01:09:38,670 --> 01:09:41,810
and that is Asteroids. Yeah. Yeah.

1045
01:09:42,942 --> 01:09:46,062
Still in my opinion one of the best music

1046
01:09:46,062 --> 01:09:49,182
if you want to call it a soundtrack because it

1047
01:09:49,182 --> 01:09:53,002
was making jaws you know what i mean it was like no no no and

1048
01:09:53,002 --> 01:09:55,662
it was and it's got but dude if you ever played the

1049
01:09:55,662 --> 01:10:00,562
arcade it was so loud yeah it was so loud like it didn't matter where you were

1050
01:10:00,562 --> 01:10:05,322
in the bowling alley man you can hear freaking asteroids going off it was crazy

1051
01:10:05,322 --> 01:10:13,102
and i love the tabletop version yeah 152 I believe you I think you and I share this in common also,

1052
01:10:13,922 --> 01:10:17,662
before I even say this game I'm going to say this game and then I want you to

1053
01:10:17,662 --> 01:10:23,462
keep in mind that Ape Escape is higher than this game and this game is Xeno

1054
01:10:23,462 --> 01:10:27,502
Saga Episode 1 oh my god oh,

1055
01:10:29,482 --> 01:10:36,582
my god and Ape Escape is still beating it as of right now right right? Oh, my God.

1056
01:10:39,382 --> 01:10:45,322
Xeno Saga, in my opinion, is one of the coolest RPGs I ever played back in the day. I agree.

1057
01:10:46,302 --> 01:10:50,022
You know, it was so unique. And then I think there were three of them, right?

1058
01:10:50,662 --> 01:10:53,062
There were three and a bunch of little like spin-off ones, too.

1059
01:10:53,122 --> 01:10:57,942
Yeah. Yeah. That was a game I remember we would get here and there at the shop.

1060
01:10:58,182 --> 01:11:00,662
And I remember people would always be like, oh, man, I love this.

1061
01:11:01,802 --> 01:11:05,602
To be honest, I haven't played that probably since those days but i remember

1062
01:11:05,602 --> 01:11:09,842
it being it wasn't it wasn't real time or was it the turn base i can't remember

1063
01:11:09,842 --> 01:11:14,842
it was kind of both it depends it depend on yeah it depend on the scenario that

1064
01:11:14,842 --> 01:11:19,182
you're in yeah yeah one of the first games that actually do that actually,

1065
01:11:19,682 --> 01:11:22,222
i see i thought so too because i was thinking about that as well i was like

1066
01:11:22,222 --> 01:11:25,302
i'm pretty sure like they did that before final fantasy did that with final

1067
01:11:25,302 --> 01:11:30,662
fantasy 10-2 where they had that weird hybrid thing yeah yeah but great game

1068
01:11:30,662 --> 01:11:33,562
i think there's a collection right or no yeah,

1069
01:11:34,802 --> 01:11:35,902
Xenosaga 1 and 2,

1070
01:11:37,282 --> 01:11:42,202
I don't know if they added 3 and like I said they did a couple of spin-offs

1071
01:11:42,202 --> 01:11:46,802
I don't, off the top of my head I can't remember exactly what they were but

1072
01:11:46,802 --> 01:11:49,662
I mean they even did like re-release it for like the Switch,

1073
01:11:50,522 --> 01:11:55,022
as a collection but yeah Xenosaga and then they Xenogears.

1074
01:11:56,502 --> 01:12:02,002
Great games man great games number 151 to be honest Honestly,

1075
01:12:02,122 --> 01:12:03,562
again, this is how I feel.

1076
01:12:03,682 --> 01:12:08,642
Very overrated. Overrated game, but I do understand the importance of it. And that is Fable.

1077
01:12:10,499 --> 01:12:15,059
I think Fable's overrated, man. That's what I'm saying. I think Fable's very

1078
01:12:15,059 --> 01:12:17,639
overrated. But I do understand. I completely agree.

1079
01:12:18,299 --> 01:12:21,899
Yeah. I completely agree. And I know a lot of people love Fable,

1080
01:12:21,959 --> 01:12:23,639
Fable 2, and eventually Fable 3.

1081
01:12:24,259 --> 01:12:27,479
I just thought they were overrated. It's a classic case of Peter Molyneux,

1082
01:12:27,599 --> 01:12:32,859
the developer, who over-promised and under-delivered.

1083
01:12:33,299 --> 01:12:38,359
Always. On almost everyone. And then topped it off. Remember when the Xbox One

1084
01:12:38,359 --> 01:12:40,839
came out and it had the Kinect?

1085
01:12:41,339 --> 01:12:46,099
Oh, yeah, dude. I'll never forget that. That Milo game that he was promoting?

1086
01:12:46,759 --> 01:12:51,019
Yeah. And it was all the future. Milo, you can hand him a piece of paper and

1087
01:12:51,019 --> 01:12:52,979
he brings it into the game and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1088
01:12:53,119 --> 01:12:54,959
Yeah, never came true. Never happened.

1089
01:12:55,419 --> 01:13:00,099
Another classic Peter Molyneux moment. And I got a signature.

1090
01:13:00,219 --> 01:13:02,799
I have a signature on Fable 3.

1091
01:13:03,399 --> 01:13:07,859
Oh, wow. I wasn't in person to get it. I got to admit, because I think if I

1092
01:13:07,859 --> 01:13:11,999
was, I probably would have told him, is this one going to live up to your promises?

1093
01:13:12,219 --> 01:13:17,099
Because I just, they were okay to me. They were just okay.

1094
01:13:17,939 --> 01:13:21,279
Yeah, I agree with you. And then I know that they just announced the new Fable,

1095
01:13:21,299 --> 01:13:24,679
or the Fable remake, right? But he's not going to be involved in that anymore.

1096
01:13:25,579 --> 01:13:30,099
Thank God. Maybe whoever did. Maybe it'll be good. Exactly. Exactly.

1097
01:13:30,819 --> 01:13:32,699
So, we'll end it here at 150.

1098
01:13:33,719 --> 01:13:36,599
I've actually never played this game, but I think you have so hopefully

1099
01:13:36,599 --> 01:13:40,079
it was good the good things to say so we could end off on a good note and yeah

1100
01:13:40,079 --> 01:13:45,219
ending at 150 for this part of the episode of game informers top 200 of 2009

1101
01:13:45,219 --> 01:13:50,699
that is act razor on the super nintendo i did play a little bit of act razor

1102
01:13:50,699 --> 01:13:54,599
not a lot of it and i gotta say it's still better than ape escape.

1103
01:13:58,780 --> 01:13:59,700
That's how you got the episode,

1104
01:14:03,620 --> 01:14:06,200
well do you know is there anything you can say about it because i really don't know

1105
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,020
much about it at all no man i just i i played

1106
01:14:09,020 --> 01:14:12,460
a little bit at my friend's house i think it was my friend marvin's house but

1107
01:14:12,460 --> 01:14:16,240
a little bit act razor everybody else was kind of into it at the time so i didn't

1108
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:21,180
get a lot of gameplay i'm sure it's great i really can't i really can't remember

1109
01:14:21,180 --> 01:14:25,520
too much on act razor i did have fun i know i had fun with it but it wasn't

1110
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,480
something that i was like oh i I got to go out and,

1111
01:14:27,480 --> 01:14:33,040
you know, get the system specifically for this game or make me want to buy the game at all.

1112
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,500
But I know there's a big falling for ActRaiser, so I respect it.

1113
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:38,420
So you think it deserves to be on the list?

1114
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,980
At what number? 150.

1115
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:50,320
I'm going to probably going to default to their list only because I can't really

1116
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,280
say yay or nay on that. Gotcha.

1117
01:14:53,260 --> 01:14:55,720
But you would agree it's definitely better than Ape Escape.

1118
01:14:56,700 --> 01:14:59,460
The little bit that I played was better than Ape Escape, for sure.

1119
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:04,440
That's so funny. Yeah, so we're already at hour 20, so we'll end it here,

1120
01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:06,440
guys. So you don't have to sit here and listen for another hour.

1121
01:15:06,620 --> 01:15:08,240
We'll bring up the next episode soon.

1122
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,260
But yes, we made it to 200 to 150.

1123
01:15:11,740 --> 01:15:17,040
Who will be 150 to 1? I'm kind of doing a school through, and I can tell you,

1124
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:20,720
you're going to be limited when we get to top 50.

1125
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:25,140
I probably will, because we still haven't said Musha yet.

1126
01:15:26,199 --> 01:15:31,079
Remind me of that one? It's a shoot-em-up on Sega Genesis. One of the best shoot-em-ups ever, dude.

1127
01:15:31,779 --> 01:15:35,439
Dude, you know that's not going to be on there. It better freaking be on there,

1128
01:15:35,499 --> 01:15:36,799
dude. Musha better be on there.

1129
01:15:37,139 --> 01:15:41,159
We haven't said Space Harrier yet. We haven't said Alien vs.

1130
01:15:41,699 --> 01:15:42,559
Predator or Sidescroller.

1131
01:15:43,379 --> 01:15:45,239
Dude, well, here's my thing, too. You're talking about shooters.

1132
01:15:46,279 --> 01:15:49,779
What about, like you brought it up earlier, Einhander? That should be on there, I think.

1133
01:15:50,719 --> 01:15:54,739
What the hell's Einhander at? Yeah, well, it's not better than Ape Escape.

1134
01:15:54,739 --> 01:15:57,459
Here all right and we said we do we

1135
01:15:57,459 --> 01:16:00,359

1136
01:16:00,359 --> 01:16:03,059

1137
01:16:03,059 --> 01:16:09,859

1142
01:16:27,319 --> 01:16:30,579
Just to throw this out there, this will come out on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

1143
01:16:30,779 --> 01:16:35,119
And when this comes out, me and Mike will be at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

1144
01:16:35,419 --> 01:16:40,839
If you guys are there and you see our booth, we'll be there with the Bart Bridge booth at booth 1619.

1145
01:16:41,179 --> 01:16:46,439
Come by, say hello, and grab some dope hats. I mean, you would agree,

1146
01:16:46,559 --> 01:16:47,679
right, sir? They're good dope hats.

1147
01:16:48,639 --> 01:16:51,679
Dope, dope, dope hats. and they have a little slot for your business card.

1148
01:16:51,779 --> 01:16:52,879
I do have to bring something up, though.

1149
01:16:53,199 --> 01:16:57,939
One of the games that we brought up, I think you said Ikaruga on GameCube, right?

1150
01:16:58,559 --> 01:17:04,079
Yes. Okay, my bad. I was thinking Radiant Silvergun on the Sega Saturn.

1151
01:17:05,539 --> 01:17:09,679
Ikaruga came out on the Dreamcast. Yeah, that's what I remember,

1152
01:17:09,799 --> 01:17:11,679
and that's why you said Sega Saturn. I was like, oh, interesting.

1153
01:17:11,759 --> 01:17:14,719
I'm thinking of Radiant Silvergun. Ikaruga, so let's correct that.

1154
01:17:15,059 --> 01:17:19,719
Ikaruga, my bad, guys, is like the spiritual successor to Radiant Silvergun,

1155
01:17:19,899 --> 01:17:21,499
So I'm thinking of Radiant and Silvergun on the Sega Center.

1156
01:17:22,399 --> 01:17:26,819
Ikaruga Dreamcast. But, but, nonetheless, they should have put the Dreamcast version.

1157
01:17:27,279 --> 01:17:32,959
They should have, because it was also what the arcade was based on. So shame on them.

1158
01:17:33,579 --> 01:17:37,039
Shame on them indeed. Again, they didn't have a Sega console, obviously.

1159
01:17:37,539 --> 01:17:41,639
I can't wait, because I'm looking at this right now, and I can't wait for us

1160
01:17:41,639 --> 01:17:43,639
to do this one, because you are going to lose your shit on some of these.

1161
01:17:43,719 --> 01:17:47,719
Because some of the ones that were originally higher up are now farther back.

1162
01:17:48,139 --> 01:17:51,859
And some of those ones meant a lot to you so we'll see you're in for a treat

1163
01:17:51,859 --> 01:17:56,179
my friend remind me to take an aspirin,

1164
01:17:57,159 --> 01:18:00,419
i don't have i don't have a heart attack and have like a defibrillator around

1165
01:18:00,419 --> 01:18:04,879

1168
