Without the blood and gore and with the comedic way some of the deaths are shown you almost don't even notice how brutal they actually are. Honestly I never realized how brutal alot of them actually were while playing the game It wasn't until watching them in this manner.
All the deaths from Vivi are really rough. Multiple decapitation's. You don't even notice because she will belch afterwords or something silly. The creators did a really good job of covering the brutality.
The entire game is genius. What most people don't realize is that you have absolute freedom of where you want to go in that game. You can just run around within entering any levels.
Now just imagine beating the game after so many failed attempts only to pull a houdini trick at the end and get the W you've been struggling for. Truly a euphoric moment
I can't believe this game was not well received in its day. My brothers and I played it when it was first released back in the mid 90's and we still quote it to this day. One of the most memorable games I ever played in my life. And yes, largely because the deaths were so gruesome and often hilarious.
Ahhh I used to love watching this when I was recovering from an injury. It was easy to watch, absolutely true, and made me feel fortunate for my injury
Did a little digging and this doesn’t seem to be true, just a case of same name. The June Brown that voiced Vivi was apparently the Spokesperson and PR specialist for Readysoft
I had this on the 3DO and it looked way better on that hardware than the cd-I. Loved this game! It was far better than Dragons Lair because you could go in any direction you wanted - but you were being chased by the little guy the entire time.
The only reason it manage to earn that rating was due to an lack of blood... And it was the 90s that rating was fairly easy to get i mean look at heart of darkness's death scenes
@@Darkchao_berserko22 from what I've heard the blood still exists in the game but they recoloured it green to make it seem less grusome and more nonsensical. Sans the acid pool, anytime you see weird green liquid coming out of him when he fails, that's recoloured blood
For some reason this game got like a disney vide to it, even know it just a horror catoony game with this type of bad guy catch a good guy. Even know I don't know so much about this game and never play it either back then. some of death scene funny and nightmare fuel, it especially worm pop his body. It look terrifying to watch and bad guy tear out his eyes along with his body apart, make me feel uneasy.
I love the animation and art style of the game here. It totally has that 90's Warner Bros. Animation vibe to it. Heavily inspired by Dragon's Lair for being an interactive movie. And it's completely shocking how brutal the deaths can be despite being all cartoony.
My best friend, my dad passed away recently. I was born in the late 80s so I was the perfect age for growing up in the 90s with him. I miss him.. and I'm here to try and get some memories we used to play this together a lot
Shiiiiiet I'd probably be carefree too if I know I wouldn't die no matter what. Guy came out the coffin with his arms folded! He literally reverse engineered the flames of hell, and simply turned his cap backwards.
god i love it when people put time and energy into their game like this- spending as much time making the game as much time of putting death scenes into it just goes to show how much love went into this game!
I think the artist was psychic or something. Or someone on the Mortal Kombat X team was a huge fan. It's practically identical to the "Here's Johnny!" fatality.
While it's interesting to see how any death animations there are, some of the scenarios are ludicrously poorly designed. They either would give you virtually no time to react without knowing it was coming, or give vague ideas as to your available options and directions.
Old carry over from arcade days as well. The more quarters a game could be swallow, the more money it made it's owner. Took a while to shed that philosophy, even once home consoles were the norm.
It would certainly benefit a lot from having visual/audio cues like Dragon's Lair. Though it's nice to be able to watch the cartoon sequences uninterrupted.
Did you notice that Vivi's on the cover of Bigguns magazine? When Fritz is falling down the stairs, a copy of "Bigguns" falls from his coat and Vivi's are front & centre!
1:00 for whatever reason, makes me wonder if one way to die, is to run the same way back? As in, you came from the right, and have to choose a direction. And choosing to go to the right again would mean that you'd run into the one that were chasing you throughout the game.
its that room specifically since thats the start room. you can go any direction you want throughout the majority of the game (with the exception of the maze)

I'm amazed at how they manage to make a lot of these look so graphic and violent despite a complete lack of blood and gore.
Just a bit of blood where the hero gets a transfusion when you get revived
Here 6:39

Yup! And that's a revival, not blood and gore from a death.

instaBlaster...
Gotta say, the resurrection scenes are just as impressive as the deaths.
Agreed👍
No words

Some of these are legit Mortal Kombat fatalities minus the blood. I love it.

For all the voice cast being staff. they did a good job. like vivi and the lead.
Absolutely! Between the good performances and solid animation this feels like a lost theater cartoon.
Now just imagine beating the game after so many failed attempts only to pull a houdini trick at the end and get the W you've been struggling for. Truly a euphoric moment
Or to pull off most of the win, only to get slammed by the piano at 33:46. 😆

Well, Vivi being turned ugly at the end may have been a contributing factor to some not playing it
Ahhh I used to love watching this when I was recovering from an injury. It was easy to watch, absolutely true, and made me feel fortunate for my injury
This should have been a Give Yourself Goosebumps book instead.
Damn right
THE END
I mean these deaths are hilarious but... *Jesus* are they overkill
and somewhat still horrific in this silly sick slapstick schtick
@@alexsung3117 Ha! Your play word cracked me up!
@@davidnavarro4821 well thank you
I remember my mom getting this game for me as a young child, and I remember this one death made me go cry to my mother 😭🖐✨
but your mother for what death to cry? the one that makes me sad and the one in which fritz cuts the head of Lance
Which one
The death when fritz sneaks behind lance, plants his hooks in lance’s eyes and rips his skin off, leaving his skeleton on the floor. That one?
The blender death?
DANG!! Some of these deaths wouldn't be out of place in Dead Space!
7:00 best quote from vivi the vampiress
Despite all deaths no matter how brutal they are
*HE ALWAYS COME BACK*
20:00 Is that the Ark of the Covenant in the background?
SpuzzFipple I think so
SpuzzFipple lmao you’re totally right 😂
Somebody loves Indiana Jones
Dude has a great work ethic.
Loved this game as a kid. But was never able to trigger the elevator that lead to the final level.
They really need to make a remake it this! One of my favorites.
These deaths are pretty brutal for a cartoon wow lmao.
That intro tho! Freakin' jammy jams.
Vivi is voiced by Dot Cotton from Eastenders!
Oh damn! she is too! may she rest in peace

If 2020 was a game
Don't mind me, just listening to the satisfying pitter-patters of our hero as he flees for his life Dragon-Lair style.
I wonder what step 2 would've looked like if we saw it in the game
First character I’ve seen having the palette of a freackin’ rainbow that doesn’t physically hurt my soul 😂

@@TheManWhoErasedHisNane well this game, space ace and dragon lair made by the guy who made this interactive movie games.
@@fandanya3256 space ace and dragons lair were don bluth and his friends (and ex Disney coworkers) Ricardo and Dave made this one
@@Lovinia1 oh
@@fandanya3256 yeah they’re the power three for the entire 70s through 90s era of cartoons
What's shocking to me is that people legitimately think something needs blood and gore to be brutal.
They must not have seen ren and stimpy
The lack of blood makes it more brutal. Especially for the garden and fountain ones.
My best friend, my dad passed away recently. I was born in the late 80s so I was the perfect age for growing up in the 90s with him. I miss him.. and I'm here to try and get some memories we used to play this together a lot

Poor fritz? He literally just tried to kill Lance!

Player fighting back against Fritz: "I got you now!"
Fritz: *Reminds player that his other hand is a sharp hook*
Player: "Oh..."
His name is lance
Lance: Got ya! *Notices Fritz has a sharp hook on his hand*
Lance: Oh..
Funny how the voice acting was done by some of the game studio's staff and it all still sounded legit
*0:39* -laughs -*im gay*
"I'm Game!" Is what he said.
I'm game is what he said
Lance Galahad's classic and iconic catchphrase
19:32 That giant bat "death" just seemed pleasant, like a puppy doing lil play bites.
Shiiiiiet I'd probably be carefree too if I know I wouldn't die no matter what. Guy came out the coffin with his arms folded! He literally reverse engineered the flames of hell, and simply turned his cap backwards.
Yea, but I'd have to assume dying many of these deaths is super painful.
19:33 I love how he doesn’t even die, he just gets annoyed by a giant bat
Bat Try to Eat Him But Bat eat the Hat or Cup
I saw the first death and I was like "This is gonna be a hell of a ride"
Same. He literally got Blended into a Milkshake and got Drank.
Literally

god i love it when people put time and energy into their game like this- spending as much time making the game as much time of putting death scenes into it just goes to show how much love went into this game!
It’s kinda Like Crash Bandicoot death animations. Games like this are pretty cool.
26:53 ...I'm not even gonna ask, something tells me I don't want to know.
Seriously makes no sense lol
Maybe an alien reference?
I think the artist was psychic or something. Or someone on the Mortal Kombat X team was a huge fan. It's practically identical to the "Here's Johnny!" fatality.
I Like To Believe Fritz Was Actually Behind Him The Whole Time And Lance Ate Some Taco Bell
God these Don Bluth multiple-choice games were gorgeous
Even losing is a treat for the eyes
So this one wasn’t actually don bluth, but his best friend Dave who worked on a lot of projects with him.
@@Lovinia1 ahhhh. I guess it would be pretty taxing to have one guy working on it
While it's interesting to see how any death animations there are, some of the scenarios are ludicrously poorly designed. They either would give you virtually no time to react without knowing it was coming, or give vague ideas as to your available options and directions.
Isn't that how the game is played here? It's literally a game of "THINK FAST OR DIE"
That’s the point of this game. It’s literally called a Quick-time event game. You always have to be on your feet.
Old carry over from arcade days as well. The more quarters a game could be swallow, the more money it made it's owner. Took a while to shed that philosophy, even once home consoles were the norm.
