- Decided to do a playthrough of this game. I had this game when I was little, so it was a surprise when everyone started making UA-cam Poops of it. It's actually pretty fun. The grammar puzzles often provide hints or are at least fun to read, and they don't slow down the gameplay enough to ruin the fun of the game. A lot of people assume the game sucks because it's educational, or because the cutscenes are done by the same people who did the cutscenes for Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon.
There are 36 levels divided into 9 areas with 4 levels in each area. The fourth level of each area has a boss. When you save all the children in a level (and defeat the boss, if there is one), you get the key to the exit. Simple enough. At the beginning, there are 3 children to rescue per level, but that later increases to 4, 5, and finally 6. If you die, you lose all of your items and start the entire level over again.
You can play with either the mouse or the keyboard. Arrow keys move and spacebar attacks. You can left click around the screen to move, and right click to attack. I prefer using the keyboard. You still have to use the mouse to pick up and move items around, though.
I was rushing at the end of this video so I wouldn't hit UA-cam's limit. The other videos won't be this long.
That kid has good grammar and a killer right cross. He'll go far.
I actually kinda want to play this game now. It really seems like a hidden gem to me. When you compare it to the Zelda CD-i cutscenes, the animation is actually really good, and the voice acting isn't bad either. I particularly like the song at the beginning :)
The cutscenes make me think it's a cdi game.
Agreed.
It's an MS-DOS Game, actually. Makes me wish someone puts it in ClassicReload.
Hey I found this comment 4 years late
The animation in canceled Warcraft Adventures makes me sorry for this game's cancel and death of Animation Magic.
SPIDERS
PUNCH 'EM
SNAKES
YOU WANT SOME TOO?
Inigo the brave loves c to punch spiders
BOO! Haunted House
My initial thoughts, too.
I keep expecting him to turn a corner and hear "ACHTUNG!"
I’d like to see that as a mod
MEIN LEBIEN!
Question about the intro. When Meen explains what the magic book does, he opens it. Shouldn't he have been sucked in?
+Scorpionspear77 Probably not, since it was his book in the first place. Either he designed it to not affect him, or since he's so magical he can enter and leave the labyrinth at will... I dunno.
But he did quickly close it after soooooooo
He says “this book is made to order” so he probably ordered it to take the children and not him
Friendly fire
To quote AVGN: Spiders. Punch them!
Snakes: you want some, too!?
Here's my theory as to the actual plot of this game and the sequel:
All of the kidnapped kids obviously have parents, who are no doubt heartbroken about their children going missing. Eventually, Meen was discovered by the US government as the culprit, but Meen refused to release the children until all of the world's educational institutes, government literacy programs, and anything educational. And if the governments try to sic their militaries on him, he'll use his magic to launch every nuclear weapon in the world at population centers and government targets.
The player character volunteers to rescue the kids as part of UN coalition, and he/she is assisted by Gnorris, who is a government contact.
After the events of Chill Manor, both Meen and Chill teleport into the middle of the UN Security Council, either by accident, in haste to escape "Agent Egghead" (another UN volunteer who sought to stop Chill from creating a world where the Axis won World War II), or incompetence, and they find themselves surrounded by armed soldiers and shot to death.
So, really, this isn't an educational adventure. It's a simulation of a daring UN operation to bring a pair of terrorists to justice.
Oh, and the player doesn't absolutely have to fix the grammar erros to free the kids. This whole time, all they had to do was kick in the door, which, due to the incompetence of the gnomes, were poorly engineered. He/she is just a huge Grammar Nazi with OCD.
What a moment.

Until all of the world’s educational institutes, government literacy programs and anything educational… What?
This looks like DOOM. But educational.
Dissapointed CD-I Link DOOM: The Educational Edition.
Pre-order now and get the Mathematics DLC.
Thats what I thought at first
More like wolfenstein I’d say
Lets start a petition to remake this game in the build engine.
@@ScileSc i was thinking using the gzdoom engine personally
I like to imagine that text message lingo gives Meen immense power.
He's the most powerful magician in the world because he's really good at spelling. Grammar was clearly a secondary concern.
With modern litchracy rate's, the guide probally bee unstoppabble buy now.
Am I the only one who pauses and tries to solve the scrolls myself before watching the player solve the sentences?
+AnthonyM the Gamer Artist! I think not.
+AnthonyM the Gamer Artist! i do too xD
Nah, I do that too :)
- You just cannot turn Doom into a family friendly game!

Yeah, I remember the instruction manual says your health bar is how tired your character is, and when it runs out, you fall asleep and get taken back to your cell. And the projectiles that the enemies shoot at you are sleep spells. Doesn't explain why other enemies are swinging clubs and scythes and swords, though.
@@FFL2and3rocksI can get clubs to whomp you on the head, but sharp objects...? I guess those monsters are from looney tunes or they're magical constructs that don't actually physically hurt you.
0:56 “When they open up this book, THEY’RE FUCKED INSIDE INSTEAD”
Reading this had me screaming.
@@lewismcdonald985 I don't remember writing this comment
0:00 This sound plays when you Win a round with IM Meen in Smash Bros. Lawl
A decent looking game, but the child sprites are kinda terrifying.
BOOKWORM!
Player when walking around the labyrinth: Calm like a library
Player when fighting: “About to kick ass” music.
This is actually underrated. A good case study for gamification in education. It has its flaws, but also some things that work.
Also, I would have no problem solving grammar puzzles if my reward is some legitimate action later.
So no one’s gonna talk about how the kid takes down the monsters with his bare hands
In the intro, as Scott and Katie get sucked into the labyrinth with the book, they turn into bookmarks.
How is that boy Scott?
Scott has blonde hair and the boy has brown hair
@@Jothomas214They switched the colours sometime during the production.
I.M Meen's meme dance will NEVER get old
0:59 sounds like he says fucking, made me lol
lol XD it actually does sound like that
KHMaggot67 XD LOL TRUE!
KHMaggot67
There fucked inside instead
BRUH
This kid punches about as fast as a P90's firerate
This kid must be kenshiro's son
For an educational game, it sure isn't teaching kids how to spell "Mean" correctly.
but meen hates learning, you expect him to be smart?
That's the joke.
Real smarties know what the I and M stands for.

But seriously if games like these were used instead of using papers for school. I would love school a lot more.
Guardian watching some random kid throwing max-force punches at mach 2: Damn where did you get your gains?
Kid: At the library.
Awesome game. It's basically Wolf3D with a simple inventory system, a better melee attack and having somewhat simplified combat for kids who might not have perfect reaction time or get surprised easily.
The educational puzzles also are unique in that they, in addition to grammar being a uncommon subject in edutainment games, but the puzzles also offer hints, secrets, world building and character development, and are actually fun to read. It's like if you took audio logs from modern games and made them into puzzles, and you can't skip or zone out when you read them, since you have to find the errors.
The villian is dastardly and entertaining. He does not patronize you. The enemies vary through the zones and get progressively harder. You want to beat the motherfucker who kidnapped you and a bunch of other kids . This game WILL NOT bore kids.
Legit 10/10 for an edutainment game.
I now officaly love you.
5 stars for just what you're doing.
Alive?
The protagonist kid is crazy crazy crazy tough. Just blasting trolls who have huge mace club and giant spiders with nothing but a mean right hook.
The graphics of the game look identical to that of Hotel Mario, Link:Faces of Evil and, Zelda:Wand of Gameleon. Remember those games anyone?
You're correct! The company Animation Magic was also responsible for those titles' animation.

No wonder this looked familiar! I played this while at Elementary school.
Hey, ***** and Conservative Catwoman come look at this.
Sorry dont like either ! I like classic rock
Conservative Catwoman
:)
This game was really interesting, thanks for sharing, it was nice to 're-live' these memories.
That's one badass kid if he's punching out giant spiders and angry dwarves.
0:59
"their fucking side instead"
+ihatetrolling "They're sucked inside instead"
Well he is a villain who tries to impede the learning of children so it makes sense for him to have an improperly spelled name.
I don't care how many dislikes I get, this feels like doom
Star Foth DOOM: The Educational Edition.
Pre-order now and get the Mathematics DLC.
finally, a person who thinks that the gameplay looks like Doom/Wolfenstein, and not those shitty CD-i games.
it is made by the same people who made link&zelda cdi games but yeah, only the cutscene art looks pretty much same, except kinda better.
Star Foth i think it's closer to classic dungeon crawler than doom.
Closer to Wolfenstein 3D, but yeah.
Except the drag n drop weapon and item management.
lol how can that kid kill a giant spider with only 1 HIT?!
Lenny Face simple, it's not a giant spider.
***** then what's that 8:09
a not giant spider
+Lenny Face He's Chuck Norris' son.
Cuz he's the son of one punch man
I didn't know learning could be so physically challenging.
AVGN please make an episode about this game!
The title character's voice reminds me of Gargamel.
Let me get this straight. Your main playable character is either the boy or the girl who get sucked in through the portal-book at the beginning of the game. (Don't ask about the hair color change) Once your in the labyrinth, a gnome named Gnorris takes pity on you and instead of imprisoning you, he sends you out on a mission to save the other children in the labyrinth. If I am correct, please comment and say so.
The Elder Scrolls have never looked so good. Top notch, Bethesda. Top notch.
Ooo! A purple apple! “eats it, and then explodes”
...ok.
I was so scared of this game as 3-4 years old. Because of the dark black hallways at the end.
Man I loved this game as a kid. Like an educational version of Shadow Caster or Hexen
"Oh no, a giant spider!" *Decks it in the face*
Does the animator have a thing for people being sucked into books? It happens all the time with this animator!
NOOOOO! NOT IN THE PIT! IT BUUUUUUURNS!!!
The fucked thing is that's an actual fetish
how do you get I’m men tubers93 game
That kid's gotta be the descendant/ancestor of William Blake, the marine from Doom, and Kenshiro.
Sorry if this is getting old, but I just had to get that off my chest.
Why there isn't a fan remake I don't understand
when I play it on DOS box there is no background music! HELP!! (i already edited the options in the sound menu, but still no effect)
nevermind, just forgot to select a Sound Driver for this
@tofuwithgun To save it for later. Wands found early in the game only have 8 uses.
Well, now you know why the DoomGuy is so badass. He used to punch monsters when he was young.
I guess he didn't "read between the lines."
*puts on sunglasses*
YEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!
I have future plans of making a TC of this game for ZDoom. I *will* have to cut some things out (i.e. Fixing the grammar of scrolls, FMV cutscenes), but I believe it _might_ be possible.
holy fuck, yes.
Yep.
No naughty language, please. This is a childrens game.
This freaked me the fuck out as a child
Oh look what clever children, see them study, watch them learn.
How I HHHHHHRAAAAAAAAAte those goody-goodies.
Is the music redbook?
Alianger No, just midi
Only talking about the intro, not the fm in-game music
Dude i'd be more worried that a young kid is able to murder a grown man / monster with his bare fists.
Я искал эту игру уже 15 лет... Это моя любимая игра)
Я не смог там грамматику подправить. Ты смог?

SPIDERS! PUNCH EM!
SNAKES! YOU WANT SOME, TOO?
question: what is a DOS? it's because this game is on DOS
TheMasterRiolu15 DOS was a text based operating system popular in the 80s and 90s.
Brother of Wolfenstein 3D.
- 821Pocho Or maybe...
DOOM: The Educational Edition.
Pre-order now and get the Grammar Nazis DLC.
Ant Amaya Right, very Right haha
Ant Amaya with the i.m. dlc.
This game is apparently about Doom guys childhood.
Twas Baldi who brought me here and I think I'd rather go back to Here School to earn more red marks across my face, back and arms.
Various YTPs brought me to this game
@Duckyworth1 You can download it at abandonia, you need DOSBox to run it though.
That'll really make 'em cry
Katie and Scott? Those names sound familiar... possibly that famous cartoon writing duo, Kate Donahue and Scott Kraemer?
I want to see more I.m.meen play through videos please.
Meep city is in danger with this one🗣️🔥
You know, when it's not a character we know and innately love, this art style isn't nearly as bad. (I'm assuming they were given more than a week to work on this game, which also helps.)
Kind of want to beat the gnome with a tree branch, though.
@FFL2and3rocks I beg to differ, Chill Manor is perhaps my favorite game of all time. Could you please for a terrible nostalgic?
Bruh It’s so weird hearing Gnorris' voice outside of these acid trips of animated cutscenes
Hey, how do you collect the swords and items to add to your inventory?? For laptop keyboard
OH MY GOD A SPIDER
PUNCH IT!
Anyways, pretty good so far. And it looks like the kids explode when you rescue them.
Alive?
Interesting but what
Systems it is for is still a mystery to me likes like it could be fun🤔
how do you escape the starting cell i played this for the first time and couldnt find the trick
If you punch gates they will open.
Could you do a Chill Manor walkthrough? I love these action learning games. Hell, I thought I was the only one to have ever heard of the sereies, let alone have played them.
0:35 Background changed after I.M Meen sits on the books
Question: What does the button with I.M. Meen's face do?
Yeah,a little child can defeat trolls with a giant club and giant spiders with only 1-2 punches!
I think scott is the captain falcon son.
DOOM Education Edition
@BigDream64 DOSBox can record videos on its own. Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to start or stop recording.
You know this seems to be one of the few good education games out there! I was surprised when you could actually punch spiders! XP
Are you still alive
i grew up with this game, and legit learned punctuation now im smart
you doing chill manor anytime soon?
Holy shit, this kid punches so fucking fast, for a "bookworm" he sure is in good shape, his punches can freaking evaporate a gianourmus spider with a single hit with the blink of an eye. Seriously, imagine if he was a caracter in any fighting game, he is overpowered as shit!
The magic labyrinth of I.M. Meeeeeen!
Is that kid related to Kenshiro or something?
Destination of MY choosing
Wretched Child!
lel :v
This book is made to order
Pretty wild-looking game. Still, I wonder what other stuff those animators happened to do?
00:21 to 1:23 is the intro that started the pooping of a lifetime!!! :D
I didn't know of this game till later,but I had the sequal: Chill Manor- which nobody seems to know abour...
Do they still sell this game, or have it available for download on the internet? :)
Damn. Educational.
When does he get the chainsaw?
How they make my stomach churn
This game series is one way to learn english grammar
