There's a bit more to one of those reviews that criticized the control scheme in Alien Resurrection. It's already funny to look back on in hindsight knowing it has become the standard for FPS controls, but the reviewer also said people should just pass on Resurrection and wait for Aliens Colonial Marines (mind you it was originally scheduled for a 2001 release on PS2). Yeah that actually happened.
@@Brian-jv8iy slim and super slim are the worst versions in my opinion, my favourite has to be the one with 4 USB ports and a bunch of unnecessary ports including a freaking SD card slot
@nunya baznus *Red Light of death Yeah, the thermal paste was really shitty and can overheat the system. Funny that Sony cheaped out, yet STILL made a console that was extremely expensive.
Fun fact: A hack dropped fairly recently that actually *does* add mouse support to the Super Famicom version of _Clock Tower._ It also adds the exclusive rooms from the PS1 port, but the fact that it works with the mouse is a definite selling port all by itself.
My dad worked on the Die hard trilogy. Interesting fact (which is probably widely known by now) the faces of the enemies are the faces of the game developers.
IIRC, as with Command & Conquer Red Alert PS1 titles, the mouse controller worked best alongside a second controller's face buttons via the other controller jack in order to access functions / command units, etc. without having to click upon the on-screen menu. ... If anyone's curious, the first C&C release on PS1 does NOT support mouse controller.
"it's so smooth, it made Virtual Cop look like a slide show" - showing Die Hard 2 with abysmal frame rate and Virtual Cop with smooth frame rate. C'mon Uncle Derek...
What he meant was that Die Hard 2 has so many things happening all at once with a solid framerate, that Virtua Cop feels like a slideshow in comparison since VC is not as hectic as DH2.
@@jju00 , vouching for that. Die Hard light-gunning gets frenetic with the enemies, destructible environment and avoiding civilians while finding bonus items and event triggers/cancellation to shoot. Solid👍

I'm from Brazil and i was one of the few curious kids that chosen the zeebo instead of a PS2 it was the "pre-launch edition" (like the NES in NY) and lacked like half of the accessories that were incluided with the later one (like a keyboard, a better gamepad and the boomerang thing) I actually don't have it anymore because it broke twice, and when i took it to get serviced, the Zeebo was discontinued mid-fix and they just gave me half of the money back. Ah, those were the days...
I swear Derek was trying to go so long on that "Don't play Clock Tower Ghost Head" tangent while actively keeping himself from just saying "Nitro Rad suffered through the whole thing already, go watch him."
A fun fact I learned from researching the Super Famicon Clock Tower recently: Yes the SNES version doesn't have mouse support, but not because they didn't want to! When Hifumi Kono pitched his idea for the game (a game where you run away from the threat instead of fight it), his peers told him it wouldn't work. Because they figured it wouldn't work they gave him a very small budget and team, and so they had to scrap mouse support and also had to make the mansion significantly smaller. So it makes sense that mouse support would come in the later ports. Figured you might enjoy that tidbit! (though there is a large chance you already knew)
The PS1 mouse is so amazing. When I got Die Hard Trilogy on release day, I could never get more than halfway through Die Hard 2 with a controller and I never had a light gun. I got a mouse a few years ago and beat it on my first try and it is such a satisfying experience with the mouse!
That metallica lars ulrich napster reference. God bless your soul for that uncle derek. With the terrorists being metalica i can't help to think of their leader screaming "YEAH" at the end of every sentence.
Can we talk about how amazingly smooth Elemental Gearbolt is? I swear, just like with F-Zero X, a great framerate absolutely trumps using the processing power for extra visuals.
19:42 Funnily enough someone recently released a patch for the Super Famicom version of the first Clock Tower that adds mouse support and the extra content from the PlayStation version. The Windows port is still the best version, though (has higher resolution graphics).
I love this channel honestly there always teaching me something new about quirky little add-ons that we just forgot about growing up I love the fact that we get to peer into what these peripherals were really like. By the way my name is actually Derek and I approve of the hey Derek hey it's Derek I'm Derek. ssff ♡
Made myself laugh during this video. I didn't notice the Nitro Rad shirt until Derek started ragging on Clock Tower 2 and it reminded me of his video on it. I wonder if that was intentional. Edit: Oh man, I remember Sorcerer's Maze from when I was a kid. Do not remember that box art though. That's amazing.
8:55 Dude you have no idea how many years I've been looking for that game (Jumping Flash) I'm 30 and I played that game for hours at a cousin's house when I was like 8/9 but I never knew how it was called, crazy to think this is not the first time I hear Jumping Flash but I never saw the footage to realize it was that game, so thanks a lot for that!
X-Com on PS1 is pretty slow, and has some bad bugs (start with 2 empty memory cards, and alternate your saves between them), but it's still playable and fun. And the mouse is highly recommended for a *way* better user-interface experience.
When he started talking about Clock Tower 2, anyone else remembered Nitro Rad and been thinking about him to the point where you noticed that Derek was wearing a nitrorad shirt at 20:18
19:40 Hey Derek, someone actually recently made a rom hack of the Super Famicom version of Clock Tower called "Clock Tower Deluxe" that adds SNES mouse support. It also adds some of the bonus content from the PS1 version, fixes various bugs, and lets you run on the stairs.
I just started watching your videos this past weekend and I'm so glad I stumbled over your channel! Today I come to find out you guys are situated in Lynwood, which is epic! I live in Bellevue. That's all. Oh, and you have a new subscriber (bell notifications and all!)

Dont know about back in the day but I just got a ps1 mouse and command and conquer Retaliation delivered yesterday and it's awesome wish I'd had it as a kid.
Derek doesn't really do reviews anymore but if you want a comprehensive review of that game you should check out Nitro Rad's video on it (which Derek is wearing of shirt of funnily enough)
Quite a treat getting 2 videos so close to each other. Your videos are getting more and more interesting and with whackier jokes and editing which I'm loving. Great work as usual.
I got a PS3 in the last 2 years of its life and have been a Sony boy since. When I played Astro's playroom on the ps5, I was fascinated by all the old and bold tech I never new about. Amazing video too!
Literally one of the few channels i have notifications for cuz of the retro content. Such a breath of fresh air compared to the same old youtube “news” channels that chase the youtube algorithm
It's your attitude and energy, bro.... THAT is what keeps me coming back to your channel, along with the dope content.... but you set it off right bro!
What a throw back. I found you by your review of Clocktower and I still watch your horror reviews. Hope you bring some spooky skeles back during this October! Also while watching your footage, can't help but think the mouse would be perfect with a one handed controller. I used to have a black one for the PSX and while I was a child honestly would rather play some games on that one handed controller
It is nice to see Derek including Elemental GearBolt in the video. That game was absolutely amazing, and a real challenge for light gunslingers. Working Designs(God I miss Working Designs) even had this cool contest when the game launched. I wonder who won those coveted GunCons?
4:07 the "left hand controller" + "right hand mouse" is ridiculously GOOD. You move with the left thumb, whereas in WASD you move using one-two fingers
Holy crap, someone talking about Project Horned Owl. I played that game a few times back in the day. I remember really enjoying it. Elemental Gearbolt as well. I didn’t own a Guncon, but I’d play every lightgun game I could with a controller. I’d completely forgotten both of those games, but as soon as you said the names memories of them came flooding back. I can’t remember if I knew about the PlayStation mouse at the time, though I probably never even would have thought about using one with lightgun games. Really awesome video. If I ever have the space to get back into classic game collecting I really need to get a hold of one of these and re-experience some of my favorite lightgun games.
Thing I wanted to mention and think you would love Derek: Dune 2000 on PS1 also uses the mouse in tandem with the controller and it's such a clunky and fun way to play. Thinking about the sad fact that Starcraft 64 doesn't have mouse support, makes me happy that this forgotten RTS DOES have support.
"ENHANCE THE DESTRUCTION" I doubt that would have been possible on Die Hard 2! 😅 Man, so many hostages I shot with the explosive shells equiped shotgun! Jeez... Sorry!
Rescue Shot: Bubibo also supports the mouse (as said in the manual); that one is another Namco Guncon lightgun game but developed by Now Productions. It's very good! There are also 2 other ps1 mouse bundles that I know of: Tokimeki Memorial and Shanghai: The Great Wall. Thanks for the video
i loved playing populous: the beginning, C&C and Constructor on the PS! with the mouse. i still have the mousepad, but the mouse went missing after moving twice.
Finally some love for Sorcerer's Maze from a high-profile channel! It's my favorite breakout game, makes most others seem lazy by comparison. In case you didn't know, several of the games listed (Sorcerers Maze, Arkanoid and the Atari stuff) also support the neGcon. I think it's a side affect of the control inputs being similar, because apparently their analog functionality was designed for the Taito paddle controller.
I did a double take when you showed Sorcerer's Maze gameplay and it turned out to be Prism Land Story. I played the japanese version many years ago via emulation and I really liked it. Hmm, learning about the mouse support might be the perfect excuse to play it again after so long.
Oh damn! Gunfighter, I remember playing that as a kid, I wouldn't have recalled that easily until you showed it. So now I have another PS1 game to the list of games I've lost possession of over the years.
I don't know if anyone told you before, but Biohazard Gun survivor used the gun alone, if you used it. The buttons on the sides turn your character, and the trigger is how you walk in game. If I remember correctly, only when you aim at the screen, do you shoot.
god I will never stop laughing at that Alien Resurrection review you clipped. the kicker is at the end of the article, which you didn't show, the reviewer says he'd rather wait for Colonial Marines to arrive "soon" because it'll be SO much better...
10:46 good news eryone! presenting the Sinden Lightgun. After a successful crowdfunding project, the first backers are testing their guns and yes, it does work with both modern and CRT screens. And it has arcade quality with recoil.
Ahhhh you tease us with that Vampire Night port on your desk. So many extras on that thing. It's such a stupid, dumb, glorious game and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love it.
Hey Derek! Doom 1 pc manual always said you can use mouse. It's in the manual! Mental. Also MOST IMPORTANTLY ***** YOU CAN PLAY ON LCD **** checkout sinden lightgun. You can use it on your LCD TV :)
I did some digging for a video I made a while back and came up with Treasures of the Deep (1997) as the first game to use a recognisable twin-stick FPS control scheme **on one controller** while Alien Resurrection was the first game that **defaulted** to the twin-stick control scheme.
I have one of these and used it when playing Project Horned Owl, Lemmings 3D and Die Hard Trilogy. In that trilogy, Die Hard 3 even had support for a steering wheel which I think made it more fun to play and quite a bit easier too.
Ghoul panic was my game back in the day, I'm so glad it's getting some love. Even if only a short mention. Had no idea it never came out in us. Make me so sad
Die Hard Trilogy absolutely SLAPS! I remember being able to pick it up for £10 with my pocket money and getting 3 freacking fun games! And the cheats, HO THE CHEATS!
Loved this video Derek. Reminded me of the style of your videos from a few years ago. I would love to see more Re:Certified Classics and Past Mortems. Hope you also do some Halloween videos soon. I love your videos on horror games. Love you guys!
By watching videos like this one I remember how gaming is diverse and sometimes over the top! I mean, if you only pay attention to current big releases it may appear to be a "samy", repetitive industry, which is totally not the case.

Playstation Mouse with Dune 2000, totally my jam back in the day. It worked (for the most part) pretty seemless.

How does it play compared to Dune 2000 (or tbh Dune 2) on PC?

I did some digging for a video I made a while back and came up with Treasures of the Deep (1997) as the first game to use a recognisable twin-stick FPS control scheme **on one controller** while Alien Resurrection was the first game that **defaulted** to the twin-stick control scheme.
I have a place in my heart for videos about "useless video game peripherals" keep up the great work! Stay safe and have a great day!
I have one of these and used it when playing Project Horned Owl, Lemmings 3D and Die Hard Trilogy.
In that trilogy, Die Hard 3 even had support for a steering wheel which I think made it more fun to play and quite a bit easier too.
Oh awesome! Great to see more uploads. Neat vid
That quake 2 controls scheme that you called "bonkers" was the best one in the game! It was like almost like wasd + mouselook
That Dreamcast keyboard was essential for playing phantasy star online. Made chat so much quicker. Good I loved that game.
Ghoul panic was my game back in the day, I'm so glad it's getting some love. Even if only a short mention. Had no idea it never came out in us. Make me so sad
Die Hard Trilogy absolutely SLAPS! I remember being able to pick it up for £10 with my pocket money and getting 3 freacking fun games! And the cheats, HO THE CHEATS!
I really enjoyed this video. Great work team :)
Loved this video Derek. Reminded me of the style of your videos from a few years ago. I would love to see more Re:Certified Classics and Past Mortems. Hope you also do some Halloween videos soon. I love your videos on horror games. Love you guys!
Uncle Derek twice in one week!! What a treat!
By watching videos like this one I remember how gaming is diverse and sometimes over the top! I mean, if you only pay attention to current big releases it may appear to be a "samy", repetitive industry, which is totally not the case.
Missed you Uncle Derek - Welcome back!
that "Playstation is capable of producing mind boggling effects" snippet from a magazine preview is one of my favourite images ever
Loving the Test Desk.
Lol me too
Derrick telling people not to play Clock Tower 2 while wearing a Nitro Rad shirt is hella funny to me.
IKR!!! It cant be just a coincidence
