    I thought the Donkey Konga Bongos were a pretty useless gimmick. Then I watched someone complete Dark Souls using them and my world collapsed. - Ian

      Eurogamer while it's completely possible he did and even though he had a camera showing him pushing buttons on the bongos unless he had someone there witnessing him do this then he could have easily had someone off camera playing the game. Just saying I doubt any of these accomplishments unless they are done with a third party to witness. I mean that's why world record's have to be done that way.

      Nicko Bagaskara But the Kinect is unreliable in and of itself, meaning that such a feat would rely heavily on luck, whereas the Donkey Konga Bongos work in and of themselves but were not intended for playing anything other than Donkey Konga, let alone something as difficult and reflex-heavy as Dark Souls.

    • @blobcreeper
      @blobcreeper 9 років тому +4

      Althalus2010 The Donkey Konga bongo's were intended for playing Donkey Konga and its sequels along with Donkey Kong's Jungle Beat (I think that was the name) which was a Donkey Kong side scroller like DK Country but worked by using the bongos

    i dont suppose anyone remembers "yoshi's island: topsy turvy", where the game cartridge had an accelerometer built onto it, , allowing you to turn the gameboy around and shift the gravity, so walls would become floors and the ceiling was a giant death pit. amazingly fun, since it also created a hell of a way to traverse the levels without touching the ground

    Imagine the lock on cartridge thing for the second generation of Pokémon. Insert your Red or Blue into it and you inherit all the Pokémon from your "father" Red, and after you insert it for the first time, it records you doing so, therefore unless you start over characters would ask about your father and be shocked that it's the champion.

    • @pineapplefrostyfruits9225

    The 5th one was also used, in part, in the horror game "I'm scared", where, every time you died, the game closed entirely, and occasionally gave you message via a new file that you could find and read in your actual hard drive. Beyond that, at certain points in the game, you were given an interactive file, such as one that gave you a revolver, but required you change the single digit in a text file from "0" to "6", so you could have 6 bullets.

    I remember the Monster Rancher game had a gimmick where every CD whether gaming, music, or otherwise, gave you a monster with stats, appearance and type based on the disk's data. I also remember that Nintendo released its player's guide for Earthbound with scratch/sniff pages matching locations in the game such as Twoson, Fourside and Deep Darkness.

    When Hideo Kojima was working on a PC game called Snatcher, he wanted to include a heat-activated message in the floppy disc, which was the preferred medium at the time. After using the floppy for about 15 minutes, the system's heat would activate some kind of chemical that would make it smell like blood, and upon taking the floppy out and examining it, a dying message would have appeared on it. Unfortunately, he was yelled at for that idea, and it never came to be.

    Guys.. Stop telling people there was a solar powered gun in Fallout: New Vegas. They're not talking about a solar powered gun. The actual game cartridge itself had solar sensors on it. You needed to go outside and "charge" the actual game in order to play it effectively.

  • @phatbassanchor

    There was a solar powered pistol in Fallout 2. It was incredibly difficult to find as it was hidden within only one of many dozens of random encounters and was only good for one set of charges indoors, i.e. could not be reloaded unless in direct sun light. This made it impractical and only good as a novelty. It had a viciously high damage rating though which made it a fun novelty weapon.

      +DrearyPlane8 we don't have lamps either. We sacrifice them to the allmighty power-brony. And if we don't, we will suffer for years the legend says. "He who shall not sacrifice their finest lamps shall be forced to witness Lord Scrotum the Power Brony scratch their nails on their mightiest blackboard for eternity"

    No Eternal Darkness? The game that literally took control of your TV by changing inputs or volume levels? Shame.

      Probably due to Nintendo's insane copyright laws on UA-cam and they don't want the video getting a strike so they muted it.

    "I'm scared" was pretty cool. First time I ever was afraid of an 8 bit indie game. It could mess with your computer system, create files and send you files, crash itself and when you tried to reboot it on steam it asks you weird questions before opening. It even opened UA-cam by itself to give you more info on the game.
