Hell yeah! If The House of The Dead is getting this kind of love with its remakes, then other classics like CarnEvil need the same treatment... Hell i'd like to see a remaster of Crypt Killer.
Oh hell yeah. It needs to be a prequel where how it all began. How was Umlaut created, and what caused the Tokkentaker to become so sinister. The total history of CarnEvil.
No wonder Tokentakker wanted his brain for the gun wielding gorilla thing. He'd have been an absolute beast. Probably would slaughter the townsfolk and get Ludwig his revenge. Theres still many questions and mystery to this wonderful game. If only there were ways to know more.

i still love the devious concept of: inserting coins into the machine, "you" are the one resurrecting this carnival. i also remember the alternative boss to junior, "deaddy" from when you made the game more "kid friendly"
As a fan of this game, I totally ate up every second of this video. I have great memories of going to my local county fair and going into the arcade tent just to play this game and watch others play this game, unfortunately I never got to fight Ludwig... From time to time, I'd see the game at other arcades or venue, even with broken light guns, I'd still play. 😅 Love the coin replicas, wish I attended to get one. 😆
I remember playing this game as a kid around 10yrs old in 99/00. One of my favorite games. My dad would give my 10 bucks in tokens while he went to the batting cages. Only beat it like once. I knew it took coins like crazy but it was still fun. Left a few very prominent memories in my head like the noise the mechanic guys in the freak show made. I miss those days, now excuse me while I get up for work at 4am. Time flies!
Holy crap dude! What a pleasure! Kevin Quinn's music in this game was top notch. Seeing this game was absolutely a scale for its time and I wish it received more attention. I wish the whole gang was together. I'd love to see the programmers. They never get any love. Nobody knows how much pressure there was for an arcade to work well compared to today's ease. Crunch for sure! So cool to see everything!!! Thank you for this video and thank you for the memories!!!
Kevin's rendition of "Center Ring" and the Calliope music was par excellence. I cant think of any other video game piece that captures the essence of circus excitement so well, as is the timing of the ambulance clowns after you fall.
@35:25 really shows how awesome this game was. The whole crew made that? LOL. Like being in a funny ass cult who loves what they've created. We all loved it too. Such passion.
I would love to play a remake/remaster of this game for all consoles available now (not just last generation)!! If they ever do it I would love to see the stages and bonus sections that never made it like.... THE FORTUNE TELLER BONUS, THE ALTERNATIVE ROUTES ON EACH LEVEL, MORE WEAPONS, MORE SUB BOSSES AND of course the 2 Levels that didn't make it in the game (THE pirate cove stage and the halloween Theme/pumpkin patch stage)
If anyone wants to know people have been able to get some of the models and textures from the first part of the hard drive in this game so that means people can do fan creations with it now. I love this game, made a sort of remake for it but it wasn't very good tbh but you can get it on gamejolt.
I love all of this work, i do feel i need to correct though, Norwegian does not have the umlaut symbol, Swedish does though. I do wish all of this art was available online as high quality scans, this is history that deserves to be documented and preserved.
12:51 Huh. That coin looks awful familiar. I don't mean from the game. I mean that design for a physical version of that coin was made by me. And I know it's my design because the closest font I found for "Game Over" had reversed dark and light sections, resulting in a different design from the original. There's even an 8 year old video on my channel where you can see me talking about the design. watch?v=pr_lLR_f0q4 Now, I made that design available online for free. So without a doubt they took my design and 3D printed it, and now the creator of the game held it in his hand. So that's pretty cool. Though, when he says you can only get it at Prince Arcades... that's not exactly true.
I would love to see this become a PC port or remake. Of course, I do think that it should come out on consoles too, but I think PC would lend itself greatly to allowing quicker reaction times and the like, making the experience more 'in the player's control' and more fun as a whole. Admittedly though, as much as I would love to experience this as a rail shooter again (as I have so, so, so many times) I would love to be able to explore CarnEvil as kind of its own location...I don't know why, I would just love the idea of being able to see the entire facility of CarnEvil built from the ground up in a 3D environment.
Carnevil has always been one of my all time favourite games this video is amazing thank you so much for letting me see the guys who made such an important part of my childhood. Also can someone please get him to scan in the artwork it belongs in a museum we can bearly see any of it in this video
You guys should convince him to either scan these as a pdf to release online or sell via dark horse's video game art book collection. I'd love to buy a copy of this book especially with added dev notes
This is so cool! Those dudes made one of the most memorable arcade games of all time! Used to play the shit out of it at the old palisade arcade in my hometown.
My god this video is soooo oOoOO good!!!!!!! Because it has removed stuff I've never seen in carnevil like water chapter piranhas new enemys I've never seen in the game and I wish I could like a thing removed from rickety town man I wish I cold see what this would look like if all of this removed stuff is so cool!!!!!!! If there was a tunnel of Love level why didn't you explain us to that Midway games?? I mean you already had a lot of things removed!! I really hope carnival continues or if I can see those enemies or whatever!! And even the dummies!!!!!!!! Please
I love this games aesthetic to death but damn it's not balanced, find myself going back to House of the Dead games but this game is fun when I wanna really fuck up my trigger finger
@@robertoaguirre1862 CarnEvil was enough to get a home port and emulated perfectly on MAME, but Johnny Nero Action Hero was never ported to home consoles or emulated on MAME because of the arcade's decline at the time and the suicide battery that prevents Johnny Nero's game board with hard drive from emulating it.
How about do a remake rather than just celebrate a game that no one knows but those that grew up with it ? I swear aside from those that grew in the 90s no one knows about this game.
@@freddy_is_thetruth good you still caught that. I messed the line up. Its "selective" words. And I got that bit from Scarlet Dawn when I played it in Dave & Buster's. I never finished overkill tbh.
I could listen to those guys talk all day. CarnEvil seriously needs to make a comeback.
I agree 100%
A Switch port with gyro.

Not enough people talk about this Midway classic.
The fact that an 11 year old protagonist went through all this is just amazing 😂
Yeah

The book of sketches is amazing!
And the TOKEN!!! SO COOL!!
This needs to come out for todays consoles remade, more levels dlc etc
Yeah, a water park and tunnel of love level would be amazing
@@YourFoxFriendYTthe water park is just blood filled and the tunnel of love is full of zombie Betty's that wanna steal your heart literally that would be awesome
I’m 21 now. I remember playing CarnEvil when I was 10 on vacation and becoming obsessed. Thanks for the upload
Same haunting how time flies

If Carnevil ever got a return, I think the color sketch at 13:55 would be an excellent way to do an announcement.
I want this machine released or ported on my Switch. Best arcade game of all time!

CARNEVIL ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF GOOSEBUMPS
Kevin's rendition of "Center Ring" and the Calliope music was par excellence. I cant think of any other video game piece that captures the essence of circus excitement so well, as is the timing of the ambulance clowns after you fall.
they are right
this game is indeed a TokkenTakker
Wish I could have been there.
Why did this never come to home consoles ?
The retro graphics make this game so much more unsettling. One of my favourite arcade games!
@35:25 really shows how awesome this game was. The whole crew made that? LOL. Like being in a funny ass cult who loves what they've created. We all loved it too. Such passion.
This is amazing! More people need to see this
Oh my God! This is cool. I love this game, first saw it in an amusement park arcade and loved it! I actually bought one of the CarnEvil tokens.

How goes your progress?
@@davezdragon It's coming along, you can check out my youtube for updates on it.
@@illuminatidad Cool! I've got ideas on what to add. Perhaps a carousel.
I love all of this work, i do feel i need to correct though, Norwegian does not have the umlaut symbol, Swedish does though.
I do wish all of this art was available online as high quality scans, this is history that deserves to be documented and preserved.
I would love to see this game remade or at least re-released.
Carnevil will always be one of the greats in arcade games. PLEASE SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL OR REMAKE!!!!!! and add the lost tunnel level 😍🥰💘🎢🎡🎪🪦🕹
Cool video this game needs a comeback and should never be forgotten ever

The lore! The background! Its beautiful!

I would love to see the game along with the unused concepts turned into a movie.
You guys should convince him to either scan these as a pdf to release online or sell via dark horse's video game art book collection. I'd love to buy a copy of this book especially with added dev notes
This is so amazing!! One of my all time favorite arcade games!! I own an all original Carnevil cabinet and I love it!! I need one of those coins!!!!
Man. I remember playing this as a kid in the 2000s at a scandia. W my dad. Good times. I used to be scared of the game lol
Carnevil 25th Anniversary Reunion when?
Salutes from Tennessee to midway y'all made me reminisce the times when life was simple in addition of playing your game "CARNEVIL".
This is so cool! Those dudes made one of the most memorable arcade games of all time! Used to play the shit out of it at the old palisade arcade in my hometown.
Also can I buy one of those coins online I live in the UK and can't afford to visit your arcade BUT I REALLY WANT ONE
Loved this game
32:27 interesting note that Portishead influenced the soundtrack to the Torture Chamber -- the rhythm does resemble Sour Times a bit
This is amazing. This game was part of my childhood and I adore it so much, these guys absolutely KILLED it. It deserves a remaster!
The game deserves a remaster!

Also shucks I wish they had reviewed the rest of the soundtrack!
Wow theres actually a break down of the game, can we get someone to rerelease this, maybe on Steam?
I would definitely add a certain amount of other things to this game to enhance it.
Great artwork
Can someone upload the book of sketches please!? Thank you! :D
What about Betty, the lone bystander with the protagonist?
Awesome.
Professor Dr. Dr. Ludwig Von token taker
very cool, if only this game got a PC port
I doupt itll ever come back someone just needs to try to make a railshooter like it, like an indie team.
Remake please
Are the sketches scanned? if so where can i see em
I wanna play Batman arkham asylum those are best scary game ever.
I hope I'm not the only one who prefers Tökkentäkker's original design lol
I love this games aesthetic to death but damn it's not balanced, find myself going back to House of the Dead games but this game is fun when I wanna really fuck up my trigger finger
Pseudiom brought me here
pls could someone tell me where is that place?
Is in the description
