Same!! I was super confused at first bc i was SO sure I was remembering a game grumps episode, and i couldn't figure out why Arin and Danny were acting like they hadn't seen this all before
I think I know why the game freezes on result screen! The reason might be that the AI players don't choose their "dream guy". In the reveal game finds "null" as AI player's answer and freezes because it doesn't know what to do. So if Arin and Dan both were playing without the AI players, they could actually see it to the completion.
I played edutainment CD games on my dad's computer as a kid in the 90s, and this feels like a fusion of that and the TV shows that were on at the time. This is AWESOME. XD
The pacing of the voice acting is driving me insane. They have such weird cadence and put adverbs at the end of their sentences but the subtitles put the same adverb at the start of the next sentence. It completely changes the context of what's going on
They're playing it up as a kind of eyerolling "too cool for school" irreverence, it was a very common attitude portrayed in a lot of our kids/teens-focused entertainment at the time. Look up the old TV commercials for the board games Dream Phone and Mall Madness from around the same time and you'll see pretty much the same delivery and cadence.
Thank you guys so much for playing this!! I love Polygon's video on this game and thought it was too perfect of a fit for the show. Here's hoping the emulator/ROM will cooperate more in the near future 😭🙏
So they made that girl phone board game into a FMV video game… Hard to pick the “cutest” guy when they’re all like 4 pixels, I mean I guess he’s vaguely a male human so that’s good 😅
Did they have the editor add subtitles to this? It's weird how absolutely everything on screen is so old school and covered in artefacts, but the text is so damn crisp.
@@miguelnewmexico8641 If the subtitles were originally part of the game, they'd be sub-HD (which means they'd be covered in scaling artifacts due to the resolution difference). The subtitles in this video are very clearly high definition. So, my comment was just asking, "Did they make the editors add subs to this?" because that'd be a strange thing to make their editors do (like, it's the one time their editors do something like this, and it's for Girl's Club Party, of all playthroughs??).
Oh my gosh there actually is a well-known actor in this: I saw Zahn McClarnon’s name in the credits. He plays Olrox in Castlevania Nocturne and Big in Reservation Dogs. That is wild 2:06
So as someone who was subjected to this, uh, slice of gaming history (in a church youth group of all places), the part where the game is freezing would stutter and hitch basically every time, but it would eventually load. You could hear it struggling when it got to that point. Compare it to hearing a floppy disk drive. I really don't remember what else they used the system for, but the room was filled with 90s time capsule games like Mall Madness and Dream Phone.
dude this is such a freakin era of fun one offs. the moment yall stopped playing kitty powers and bingus my b, u regained so much power. u guys r on a blazing streak frickin Werk
Anyone else feel like this was about to be another horror game dupe from Arin at 3:17? The unsettling silence followed with the grating noise and "HELP" is written on the top right like it had to be scrambled together from spites found elsewhere in the game's files. Swear to god I thought it was about to Doki Doki Literature Club "the game is sentient" vibes.
Seeing them play CD-i games again makes me hope we will see them tackle Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore in the future, which is just a homage to the games of that console, more so the two animated Zelda titles. It even brings back Link and Zelda's voice actors to cameo in the game.
Holy shit, Zahn Mcclarnon is in this?!?! You might know him from Reservation dogs, Longmire, Castlevania:nocturne, West World, Echo and like a ton more. He’s a pretty well known Native actor. This is amazing😂
if anyone else is wondering why the fuck they vividly feel like they've seen this game played by two very funny fellas before, you're thinking of griffin and justin mcelroy's playthrough i LOVE THIS GAME THANK YOU FOR PLAYING IT
I was waiting for them to play this ever since they started playing CD-I games. I say this because I own a CD-I console and played this game as a kid. 😂
This is freaking hilarious! I love how confused you guys were. And how you could've help getting into it haha. Would love to watch more! If only it didn't crash! ❤😂❤

Arin "I hate tutorials" Hanson suddenly does a tutorial when it comes to dating cute guys. I'd say I'm shocked, but that would be a lie.
He hasn't rejected tutorials in a pretty long time.
Hes a simple man. Cute boys? Worth it
We just need to include Dads in each tutorial
Arin really needs to know how to finally win Dan over... After 10 years
“I’m shocked. … NOT!”
"Well, I guess the Zelda games moved." The kindest thing anyone has ever said about the CD-i Zelda games
The closest thing to a compliment you can say about those games.
let's be honest here, 2 of the 3 Zelda CD-I games moved
pretty obvious which one was the outlier lmao
I think some of the reviews praised the graphics and the music, so that’s… something
@@kelvinsomnia i remember i had just watched the AVGN review of the Zelda CD-I games right when GG started playing Wand of Gamelon
i was shocked that i found the music of the first two games to be kind of catchy hahaha. Zelda's ADventure on the other hand....holy crap
Idk I liked the cut scenes
This is the most 90's thing I've ever seen.
Especially the giant phone of beginning of the game
Nah it's more 90s than the actual 90s ;) It was cheesy in the early 90s but not THIS level of cheese, that I remember ;)
AGGRESSIVELY 90s
Like, really early 90's though. The hair is almost 80's.
the only thing is missing is the macarena and every guy wearing teal
“SHES NOT SNOTTY SHE JUST HAS SELF BELIEF”
Dan's "What's so wrong with a guy wearing a dress?" Felt like he was ready to fight to defend Arin's honor and that's honestly sweet.
People forget that Danny used to be a ninja.
The toughest fucking ninja that you've ever seen.
Also it's very sweet.
@@RustBot42besides Brian at least.
@@undead_opera_singer to be debated - Brian has attempted to kill Danny a bunch of times, always failed.

"Back in the closet Nyarthlotep!" "REeeEeEeaAAAA"

If I had a nickel for every girls game Dennys and Arnold’s played I’d have too many nickels.
You'd have maybe....almost 2 dollars.

President Obama? Is that you?
From the words of barack obama, "Denny and Arnold! My favorite UA-camrs! Love you guys!"

Yeah, Arin did *not* give that joke the justice it deserved 😂

kinda obsessed with the Too Many Cooks energy of that intro
Holy shit, you're right. How didn't I notice that before‽
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING! XD
It takes a lot to make a stew!
That's just the 90s sitcom energy 😂
The 90s-ness is frying my eyes.
Same. The first thing I wanna do is to click the HELP!!!! button
Instead of crashing, I wish the game said, "Huh, I think your disc is dirty. Try cleaning your disk"
And inexplicably it's Zelda that says this and her CDI picture pops up on the screen 😂
How did you spell disc two ways in the same line? Lol
they didnt get to the 'eggplant! cruelty to animals!' part, they have to keep playing exclusively for that

I think Danny and Arin would get a massive kick out of this board game called Dream Phone.
That would make a perfect 10 minute power hour especially if they brought on guests
Yes please
ohhhh my GODDDDD i forgot this even existed !!!!!
The guy who had the prop bottles sounded like if Sokka and Zuko were one person
You know which guy they should ask out? Sokka's Instincts! 😂
"Which boy will you choose?" Well nyralethotep probably has tentacles so...

Oh wow, Heidi Lucas! I had the biggest crush on her when she played Dina on that Nickolodeon show Salute Your Shorts.
OMG! Dina! I had a crush on ZZ.
Same. All the girls on that show were cute.
I THOUGHT she looked familiar!!
Yes ZZ was turbo cute and really all of them were cute. That entire show is just amazing.
I recognized the name IMMEDIATELY. I'm glad I'm not the only one to remember Dina. 😄
I woke up to see this while sick and legit thought that I was having a 90's themed fever induced episode
This feels like the sleep paralysis I had when I was taking antibiotics.
Nyarcoltep Is my sleep paralysis demon
I got so much early 90s whiplash from that title screen intro.
Come for the romance, stay for the eldritch horror subplot
I love you, Nyarthalotep
I think I know why the game freezes on result screen!
The reason might be that the AI players don't choose their "dream guy". In the reveal game finds "null" as AI player's answer and freezes because it doesn't know what to do.
So if Arin and Dan both were playing without the AI players, they could actually see it to the completion.

This game reminds me of the Simpsons meme "You got the dud!" with Homer's unusually well animated smile.
shoutouts for including subtitles for what the games saying, thats such a good addition!!
these are my fave type of vids~ i love these bois
This is more janky than a DVD game.
The CDi was kind of a dvd player as a console so
That was the same vibe I got. It took me right back to playing the snowmobile minigame that came included on my copy of Snow Dogs
All the best games have full length theme songs
The fact that both the Grumps and McElroys have played this on UA-cam is...astounding. Best timeline.
