I was a winner of Nintendo power's mega man boss design contest. Windman was my design and it was exciting to see my name at the end of the game. I wish winning the contest netted me a free copy of mm6, but it he clock, T-shirt, pin and neon markers were cool too.
That Hydlide theme (from the ad spot) could be used as a Rick Roll for pretty much any RPG/adventure game-loving kid from the 80s. It inspires a certain kind of terror, frustration, and angst in me to this very day... When it came on I nearly spat out my drink.
@@HylianFox3 Totally is, which makes it hurt even more. At least I have happy memories of the old Indy movies. Of Hydlide, I only remember suffering lol.
Seeing Normy's Beach Babe-O-Rama again made me finally look up what the deal with this game was. Turns out Normy is from Norman Keith Robinson's weekly newspaper comic strip called "Making It" which began serialization in 1985. He was still making new comic strips up until his unfortunate passing on June 6th, 2017. His official page on FaceBook still archives his comic strips, and there is surprisingly very little hard information about Keith Robinson and his work online. If anyone remembers his work or reading "Making It" in the Sunday Comics section of the newspaper, please share!
AAaaah Skitchin'... I had that game, the soundtrack had some crazy names on it. "Let's Plow" "Silken Liver Slipper" "jerky Curtains" "Eat My Junk" "Sniff" "Smells Like Tuna" "Tastes Like Chicken" Yes, those are actual names on the game for the songs.
Ah, Megaman 6, one of the best games in the classic Megaman series. It has some of the best levels due to them being themed after real world locations, some of the catchiest tunes in the 8bit games, and it introduced the power armor Megaman would get. I still go back to play it just because of how much fun it is. While it isn’t the best in the classic era, it’s still a worthy game for any Megaman fan.
I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm getting a bit misty eyed knowing the inevitable end of the NES is by the end of this year. We are watching, for most of us, our first console die all over again. I hope Jared gives it a nice tribute when Wario's Woods releases at the end of '94.
Ecco the Dolphin and Ultima 2 also take their time before sending you to the prehistoric era the XZR (Exile) series prominently features time travel but never takes you to prehistoric times at all
4:40 correction, only one US fan got his design accepted. The other was not America but a kid from Québec, whose name was Daniel Vallée, not Daniel Vallie, but I guess Nintendo wasn't used to dealing with accented E, and so thought it was a weird I.
The ad spot for Raycon is easily the best one I've ever seen for them. It definitely brightened my mood with how funny it was and I enjoyed this whole episode once again too.
The turrican series was one of those games that i always saw on nick arcade. Super interesting looking game that i never could find at my local rental stores as a kid.
This episode is special to me because Mega Man 6 was the first Mega Man game I personally owned. It was a Christmas gift from my brother the year it came out. He has since passed away and I still have the cartridge to this day.
With a story like that, I imagine it's also the one game you'll never part with. Even if you were to someday give up gaming entirely, and sell off your entire collection, I expect that one cartridge will remain on the living room mantel.
I recall a mother writing to a gaming magazine about the Skitchin' ad. I can't remember if it was EGM or Gamepro. Anyway she was upset about the word "bitchin'" and one of the editors had explained in the issue that bitchin' means excellent. Which is true. I recall back in the 90s when The Simpsons was still good Bart goes down a water slide screaming "Bitchin'!"
Bart also said "Bitchin'" in the first Treehouse of Horror episode where the Simpsons walk out a talking haunted house and it begins to vanish with bright lights.
Skitchin! Finally a game I have! lol Freakin' love Skitchin'! Its such a good game, and the music is awesome! Distinctly 90s grunge that goes well with the games theme. Spent so much time playing it on my Nomad. Im with Gamepro on this one.
I did both roller skating and roller blading in the 90’s, I also did ice skating too. And yes, after ice skating in the 90s, I was in the arcade section playing Tekken 2.
Good to see Jerd hasn't lost his touch with entertaining sponsor presentations. I had that Flintstones game, and played it a lot with my sisters when we were kids. I recall some stages being rather hard and just trying to play around avoiding them, but not sure if it was just due to being kids. More than anything, though, I recall the game being REALLY slow at the end of a board, as you had to hunt down a dude and then get to the end, and all that required good luck with your rolls.
Anime at that time was still extremely hard to find and nowhere near mainstream. You had to mail order what you wanted, and they hadn't even settled on what to call it in English yet: Often it was "Japanimation." 😶
I submitted a entry to that Nintendo Power Mega Man contest. My robot master was Toxic Waste Man. He had a big barrel of radioactive toxic waste strapped to his back, with a gun attached to the barrel. That he would of used to attack Mega Man. The rest of my design looked kind of like a guy in a radiation suit. My 13 year old self, thought it was cool. I guess Nintendo Power didn't.:(
I'm surprised that the music of skitching was not mentioned, it's notable by using software mixing to play 2 channels of pcm audio at once on channel 6
I loved playing "Skitchin'" but got in trouble when trying to try it in real life. I couldn't Rollerblade so I just used my shoes. And I couldn't catch up to a moving car, so I tired one that was backing out of my neighbor's driveway...it didn't work.
I played Mega Man 6 on the Legacy Collection, which has several cool things like clean scans of the Boxes, the Japanese Manual, and Concept Art of the stages and Mr. X's Castle
It's true that the Amiga computers where on their way out by 94, but they had a very loyal fanbase in europe, especially in the UK and here in Germany. By March 1994, we still had games to look forward to, like Sensible World of Soccer, UFO: Enemy Unknown, Worms, and Colonization. It didn't save Commodore, but the people who where loyal always bought them, because they where quality titles.
I submitted something to the Nintendo Power MM6 robot master contest. Generic "Ninja Man". I was not full of terribly original ideas as a kid. The Flame Man stage music slapped. I still love it. And yeah, the only time I visited a roller rink when I was a kid, I spent the entire time in the arcade section.
Ooh, some old favourites of mine in this episode. My buddy and I often rented Flintstones for the SNES, and I still have my copy of Normy for the Genesis. Honestly, the story to that is all over the place. If aliens kidnapped the beach goddesses, how did they end up in the stone age/medieval era/heck/etc.? Did the aliens steal them just to dump them all across time?
Dylan , How you feel towards prehistoric 90s games is how i feel about zombie games these days. Meanwhile Joe & Mac and Chuck Rock 2 are in my top 10 favorite games ever... along with quackshot n mario world . The rest arent from the same time period
My cousin and I played SO MUCH Skitchin'. As soon as you brought up the ad controversy, I quoted it from memory. If you needed to show someone what the mid-90's looked like, it would be this game's box art
IMO Megaman 6 was my favorite of all the Megaman game, every song was super good, the level design was great, and the story was well thought out. Like I said overall it was the best of the 6!( but seriously go listen to the OST its GREAT!)
As a kid in the 90s out roller blading, I once grabbed on to my dad's car as he was coming back from work. Even at 20-30mph, going that fast on skates was really scary.
Me too, man. Only thing I ever did at the roller rink during our junior high school outings was play Super Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat 2. And Killer Instinct.
This show has made me nostalgic for 1994, so I've been downloading archives of GamePlayers issues. Aside from the thorough reviews and the responses to reader letters being the magazine's signature points of interest, what I'm getting into now were the video game headlines of the time. Nintendo64 development was called Project Reality, and Silicon Graphics denied rumors of backing out of the collab. Namco signs on to make games for Sony's upcoming CD-ROM console. Sega premiered its service to play games through premium cable packages. The senate hearings on Night Trap and Mortal Kombat threatening censorship prompted Sega and 3DO to create their own ratings systems, while Nintendo insisted all their games were for general audiences, which was only possible by enforcing strict content standards. Sega was pulling copies of Moonwalker and footage of Michael Jackson from AS-1. Sony cancelled several contracts with Park Place Productions, the largest independent game developer in 1993, and poached about 50 of their employees, leaving 30 games unfinished and $2 million of debt. And Better Call Saul's Peter Gould co-wrote the Double Dragon film, beating Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat to theaters.
Stumbled on your channel a few weeks and I just wanted to say that you guy do an amazing job. I’m a pretension asshole but I’m still genuinely impressed at how interesting and funny you make these video about the games we loved as kids. Thank for putting in the effort.
Mega Man 6 is an AMAZING game! I would rank X higher, but MM6 is way better than 5. It might actually be my favorite original Mega Man title. Try it. Is good.
Holy crap, skitchin, a game I didn't even remember the name of. But I know I have played it at least at a cousin's place once or twice. Probably because I was something of a roller blade nerd back at it's peak. My completely uncoordinated ass and shit ankles barely being able to stay upright in them not withstanding
Normy was character in the newspaper comic “Making It” created by Keith Robinson, a programmer of a bunch of Intellivision games, and became the face of Intellivision when he bought all the console rights from Mattel. He was a gem. When he died his estate put the Intellivision rights up for sale and it was bought by one Tommy Talirico (sp?). Keith was insanely nice in my limited interactions on facebook, and one time I asked if I sent him a return envelope if he’d sign me an autograph. Instead he mailed me a Normy sketch, signed, and a bunch of Intellivision stickers and a little note. Very cool guy.
I was obsessed with Mega Man as a kid, but I never heard of 6 until I hit the emulation scene. That's because it was the only Mega Man never released in Europe. I wasn't missing much, it's definitely the weakest.
Very true. When I got money from my grandmother, she was always careful to make sure I got a check along with very specific decimals for the change. Good memories.
Normy's Beach Babe-O-Rama was one of those weird games I had as a kid that stuck in my mind even tho it wasn't that great. Just the concept and the name seemed to leave a mark. Glad Dylan took some extra time to talk about it.
Wow. The Flintstones game had that race track straight up traced from Super Mario Kart. I thought the Power Rangers Zeo game was the only one that did that.
Perhaps they straight-up copied that one course when trying to figure out how to actually implement the Mode 7 graphics in that way, and how to program a racing game utilizing it that way. Then once they had all that figured out, they just decided to keep that track in the game, while proceeding to build their own around what they learned.
I hate that people will say 'Megaman is getting stale it's the same game over and over' that immediately turn around and play the latest EA sports titles.
To be fair though, I feel like both are examples of games that you'll only really be able to appreciate what's different by actually playing them. Whereas if you're on the outside looking in, it's impossible to tell entries apart.
Probably the only reason I remember Skitchin' was because that magazine ad said "Bitchin'" and I'm pretty sure that was the first time I'd ever seen that word in print.
If you've watched Band of Brothers, the actor in the NES commercial is also who played George Luz, the soldier who played the fence prank on Captain Sobel.
I didn't grow up with a lot of money so for me Megaman 2 and Megaman 6 were all the Megaman I had until college and I absolutely adored 6. It was weird to me how overlooked it seemed to be by people. It will always be one of my favorites.
I knew you were talking about Skitchin' just from the description. I found it to be pretty fun though when I would wipe out when the car popped the trunk it was annoying.

If you look closely in Skitchin, you can see signs that says, Don't Drink & Skitch.
That premise for Ultima sounds hilarious, what are you talking about.
"Guess I'm the mayor of Britain now."
"England is my city" - the villain, probably
And not too out there for Ultima.
@@marcusoppong1024 Britain is the capitol city of Britannia, a country in Sosaria, the Ultima series' main setting
Hey now, Zoda's Revenge from last week ALSO had a time travel theme and ALSO had a prehistoric setting as its first level.
And that game rocked!
I love that the "Editor Dylan complaining bit" is a part which is later in the video.
He was on a good one this week!

Unlike Normy, Chrono Trigger, a good time travel game, takes awhile before you go prehistoric.
Ecco the Dolphin and Ultima 2 also take their time before sending you to the prehistoric era
the XZR (Exile) series prominently features time travel but never takes you to prehistoric times at all
I was happy to see clips of the movie "Airborne" during the Skitchin' segment. Its one of the most 90s movies to gave ever 90

Mega Man 6 was a good one to end on for Capcom's NES run I'd say, very technically impressive and some creative ideas as well.
Megaman 6 is the first NES megaman game I played, so it has a warm place in my memory.
I still have my copy of Mega Man 6 from when I was a kid. I liked it then and I still like it now.
I was there in the 90s when ppl were exhausted of the nes mega man games,
Now I totally thank them for all of those offerings

Then once they had all that figured out, they just decided to keep that track in the game, while proceeding to build their own around what they learned.
If you guys like Turrican, you should try the indie game GunLord on Sega Dreamcast and NeoGeo. (I think it's also on Switch.)
I hate that people will say 'Megaman is getting stale it's the same game over and over' that immediately turn around and play the latest EA sports titles.
To be fair though, I feel like both are examples of games that you'll only really be able to appreciate what's different by actually playing them. Whereas if you're on the outside looking in, it's impossible to tell entries apart.
...was the guy in the top loader commercial Endless Mike?
It totally was! He shows up in the weirdest places, like Sin City or Band of Brothers (or, as it turns out, NES commercials)
@@BrianVarvaro that's legit. When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on him. Now I have a crush on Jared...and a lot of other guys.🤣
what's good? thanks for posting love now in the 90s
Time Machine back to the 1994! Love this channel, thank you guys
Probably the only reason I remember Skitchin' was because that magazine ad said "Bitchin'" and I'm pretty sure that was the first time I'd ever seen that word in print.
That Mario and Sonic frozen in carbonite thing is hilarious.
I miss the days when developers would do those little "take that"s at each other...
Like how the DK coin result screen has sonic's shoes next to a trash can in Donkey Kong Country 2.
"No Hopers"
That Hydlide joke during the Raycon ad was funny. lol
Imagine a world where we still got mega man games every year
If you've watched Band of Brothers, the actor in the NES commercial is also who played George Luz, the soldier who played the fence prank on Captain Sobel.
I didn't grow up with a lot of money so for me Megaman 2 and Megaman 6 were all the Megaman I had until college and I absolutely adored 6. It was weird to me how overlooked it seemed to be by people. It will always be one of my favorites.
I just came across a complete in box MM6 in my box of old games. This was great timing to see this!
I knew you were talking about Skitchin' just from the description. I found it to be pretty fun though when I would wipe out when the car popped the trunk it was annoying.
WWE 2k24 just told me to not try it at home, so naturally the 90s kid in me is planning a backyard wrestling event for the summer.
Goddamn, three decades later and I still remember that NES commercial...
