8:45 The worst part of Aliens: Colonial Marines is that someone found out that there was a single line of code that fixed the poor enemy AI. It was caused because a developer had a typo and put "teather" instead of "tether", and in this case the typo broke their whole code. When fixed the enemy behavior is what you'd find in a regular game. But without the fix, when the game released I remember the enemy AI being very bad and often being too stationary.
@@NumbHydro Simply put, it's unfortunately not very good in any aspect.

Aliens: Colonial Marines has one of my favorite bugs of all time. The Alien’s AI was completely destroyed by a single typo that broke its ability to lock on and stalk players. Once a single letter was deleted, the game’s Xeno AI improved. The misspelled word was “TEATHER,” just delete the a.

About the whole Pheonix Games thing. Most of their games that contained films are mostly ones sith animations from Dingo Pictures, same with Midas Interactive. The biggest piece of irony is that these animations in those games supposedly weren't authorized by Dingo Pictures at all. That's right, a company that specializes in rip-off Disney and Don Bluth animations had their animations ripped off by Pheonix Games and Midas Interactive.
6:00 Correction: Bubsy returned in 2017 and 2019 with two games, The Woolies Strike Back and Balls of Furry. 36:38 It wasn't Hudson Soft's idea, rather Konami's during their acquisition of the company so they'd get the rights of Bomberman, since they were desperate at the time, and it shows. Hudson Soft went bankrupt in 2012, and we should blame Konami for their treatment towards the company prior to their inevitable fall from grace upon firing Hideo Kojima and the infamous Nikkei Report. When you realize Metal Gear, Castlevania, and Silent Hill got skins in Super Bomberman R with the voice actors behind those beloved characters reprising their roles, I should mention Act Zero to David Hayter(Solid Snake) and Quinton Flynn(Raiden) as a joke, due to it being inexplicably abysmal, with no save data, a forgettable soundtrack, jiggle physics on the Bomberwomen, and the worst video game redesign next to El Donte(made worse when his OG design was faithful to Dante's appearance in the Devil May Cry series' main continuity, until Capcom hijacked development without Ninja Theory's permission). What an insult, but the mention would be quite funny towards these renowned MGS cast members due to the early 2000's obsession over edge in vein to a 12 year old Call of Duty player calling someone on Xbox Live offensive slurs(mostly the N word).
Keep making the long videos, they're better than trying to cram everything into 20 minutes or worse having 50 parts for your viewers to go through just for one topic
The Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man felt more like a bootleg low-budget fan game than a true arcade port of the original. (29:19) And even Atari had the understatement to advertise the game as quote "Differs slightly from the Original"
Same with WWF warzone it's like they tried to make a WWE game with mortal kombat and street fighter controls but broke them I love how bad that game is because it's in the same category as Rogue Warrior and Sonic 06 it's so bad that it's good
You forgot the controversy that spawned within The Guy Game where it turned out that multiple women shown happened to be minors, causing the game to be illegal
since theres actually quite a bit in this video that apparently wasnt properly researched or defined, i figured i'd do my part and clarify something in here that even someone else who clarified it got it wrong. the dead body at the game over screen in Hong Kong 97 is real, however it's also not of Leszek Blazynski, or Atef Bseiso, or Farag Foda (all three of those having been speculations as to who the image is of). The image is actually from a Japanese "shockumentary" or mondo film named New Death File III. In NDFIII, at 28:55 (not in this video, despite youtube timestamping that part of the video), during footage of the Bosnian War in 1992, the film shows the body of a deceased civilian. this was confirmed several years ago to be the body featured in HK97. this is all found from in total 3 (three) google searches. research isn't extremely hard, esp with something as widely covered as Hong Kong 97, though considering this is at a point in the iceberg where most of everything is widely known, i doubt there's many people watching who aren't aware of hong kong 97.
20:36 I’ve played a lot of futbol/soccer games in my life time, and I have to say that E futbol is one of the worst games I’ve played. I mean where do I start, every time I try to do a simple pass they don’t pass to the right players, then it’s super glitchy so half the time the game will crash out of no where, and the graphics where just horrible even the players of the real players faces where just horrible and ugly. I don’t wish even on my worst enemy to play this horrible game
first time I've seen someone talk about the guy game and not address the reason it was banned, was that for youtube censorship reasons? but even though I had already heard of most of these games I was entertained, I think if you put in the work and research you have potential
I don't think it was the case, because even other UA-camrs like Caddicarus and Scott The Woz either mentioned or hinted the reason why it was banned. I think it might've been the case of not enough research.
Streatham hill stories was British wasn't it. My nit pic is that you mentioned what happens when a foreign company attempts a GTA clone when rockstar itself is British :p Good video though
56:00 I wouldn't say Miyamoto wanted Popeye to be the mascot for Nintendo, as Mario ended up being the mascot because he was an original character. It would've been more correct to say the game that eventually became Donkey Kong was to have the main cast of Popeye as the characters, but they failed to secure the rights so they invented DK and Jumpman (Mario) instead. Even with that, the video is still really good, keep up the good work
1:08:01 lmao I keep seeing this scene appearing when I see someone talking about that one thing trump said “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!”
Pretty good video, but the Mega Man X7 entry wasn't entirely accurate. Mega Man X4 is arguably the best game in the sub-series, competing with X1, and X7 did get a sequel in X8, which is a leagues better game. X Command Mission also was decently well received, and Mega Man as a whole didn't really die off until several years later.
Takeshi's challenge is bad to play. Randomly spawning enemies, a large overworld full of red herrings, a lot of RNG, and a paragliding segment which is absolute hell. And they final area is full of racist islander stereotypes, after all that. Its a classic because its bad, all the fans are trauma bonded to it.
The one thing I’d say you could do a bit better on is the research for each entry. I don’t need a complete recap of every entry, but missing pretty obvious/big stuff (guy game’s underage girl being the reason it was banned and bubsy getting new games after 3d to name examples) makes some entries feel half-baked
Don't listen to what people are saying, keep making long icebergs like this one. Mfs make one video for each layer in the iceberg and end up making you watch 16 parts of the same fucking iceberg. It's better to just do it all in one big video.
The Guy Game is such a crazy concept like who had the idea that the lonely guys the game was made for would wanna do trivia while trying to crank their hog
I liked learning about some of the games that I had never heard about, although as an avid AVGN fan whose seen every episode numerous times, it was kind of obvious when you were using quotes/footage directly from one of his vids (Dark Castle or The Crow, for example). Overall I enjoyed watching though
This video is pretty poorly researched. Not only were there two bubsy reboot games released a few years ago, Aliens: Colonial Marines was panned for it's laughable enemy AI and graphical downgrade over the pre-release footage, and there have been efforts to fix both hence the better reviews
28:50 The Leisure Suit Larry series actually has had two new games come out: Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry (2018) and the sequel Wet Dreams Dry Twice (2020). the first one is basically the plot of Austin Powers but its the 2010s and Larry has to try and woo modern women. I've not played the second game, just watched a walk through. As a female fan of the og series, these new ones were a fun little romp
I also really enjoyed it. It was my first Tomb Raider game, so it's nostalgic. Didn't know the backstory though. Will try to find a video that goes into it
Actually, if you judge The Guy Game by content alone, it's - supposedly - not half bad. (Obviously, I've never played it; the reason this game is so bad is related to the reason you could - no joke - be arrested for owning it.) IGN reviewed it, and based on gameplay alone, gave it a 7.5 rating, describing it as "solid, simple, and fun", if lacking in replay value. The reason the game is so notorious is, they never bothered to ask the age of the "contestants" featured in it, and one was under 18, making the game technically child porn (this is why pornographic film studios have gone through lengths to make sure that the actors they hired are of legal age and have consented to being in a porn production following the Traci Lords scandal of the 80s). The game was recalled, and a lawsuit later put Topheavy Studios out of business.
About Bubsy you made a mistake Their creators decided to revive it some years ago and they made two of the most boring platformers ever made as a result And as much as i hate to assume, they are the best bubsy games
I'm in the middle of trying to 100% Balan Wonderworld. As awful as the game is, it's hilarious how little it makes sense. I'm actually having a good time because of how laughably bad it is.
AVGN needs to see this if he needs more ideas on what game should he feature next and not another generic mobile game that's already obvious. I'd rather see him review RapeLay than do that one episode.
As someone who owns an actual copy of Wild Woody, I find the game itself to be fine, it’s what you’d expect from a Sega platform game. The cutscenes are terrible though. The game is a personal guilty pleasure of mine haha. Not that bad
ECW anarchy rulez is easily the worst wrestling game because the devs got lazy and the game looks bland for being a PS1 wrestling game its just another reskin of WWF warzone but worse
30:29 How bad was _this_ _Pac-Man?_ I had the game beat barely 4 hours after I played it _for the first time;_ and it wasn't even on _my_ 2600!! A year later, they did a _waaaaay_ better job with their version of _Ms. Pac-Man._ The monsters actually _chased_ you; and it wasn't so easy to start a game on the hard level on Sunday and still play that same game on _Friday!_ 👍
28:08 postal 3 actually is the bane of a postal fans existence because apparently there was a bunch of controversy surrounding the fact that the development team wasn’t the team that made the other postal games which are cult classics in there over the top nature as “more offensive gta” where the series two gimmicks was its only as violent as you are and that your a sick person for buying a game that’s this racist and violent it was meant for not only to provoke thought on the people who wanted a good thing to think about but also quill the itch for something mind numbing dumb violent and offensive to play making it be a good game for multiple types of people and the fact that the games were perpetually bad looking to make fun of the player yet is actually fun to play makes it a gem among the rough luckily postal 4 was much better even if it’s moving a different direction and postal brain damaged is the best arena shooter I’ve ever played gameplay wise even if the humor is kinda bad the fact that postal 3 wasn’t thought provoking and just straight up dumb and offensive while not being fun to play pushed both of its demographics away making it even worst than you mentioned.
Claiming ET is worse than Big Rigs? Despite the actually working gameplay mechanics that even the AVGN pointed out are overhated by an audience that didn't bother with the instructions? Duke Nukem Forever was just juvenile and offensive? Unlike that critically acclaimed South Park RPG series? This list can't even handle the basics. Think I'll check out here.
I don't want to criticize you, because I liked the video, but you may want to shorten your videos and not cover such a broad subject. I think it would help a ton for getting more views and comments but it's really hard to comment on long videos like this because there are so many changes in subject and people forget what all they watched
The ice bergs are made specifically to be long expansive listings of topics…just don’t watch this dude’s icebergs. He shouldn’t have to shorten them when plenty of UA-camrs that post long icebergs get crazy views.

6:00 Correction: Bubsy returned in 2017 and 2019 with two games, The Woolies Strike Back and Balls of Furry.
36:38 It wasn't Hudson Soft's idea, rather Konami's during their acquisition of the company so they'd get the rights of Bomberman, since they were desperate at the time, and it shows. Hudson Soft went bankrupt in 2012, and we should blame Konami for their treatment towards the company prior to their inevitable fall from grace upon firing Hideo Kojima and the infamous Nikkei Report. When you realize Metal Gear, Castlevania, and Silent Hill got skins in Super Bomberman R with the voice actors behind those beloved characters reprising their roles, I should mention Act Zero to David Hayter(Solid Snake) and Quinton Flynn(Raiden) as a joke, due to it being inexplicably abysmal, with no save data, a forgettable soundtrack, jiggle physics on the Bomberwomen, and the worst video game redesign next to El Donte(made worse when his OG design was faithful to Dante's appearance in the Devil May Cry series' main continuity, until Capcom hijacked development without Ninja Theory's permission). What an insult, but the mention would be quite funny towards these renowned MGS cast members due to the early 2000's obsession over edge in vein to a 12 year old Call of Duty player calling someone on Xbox Live offensive slurs(mostly the N word).
Keep making the long videos, they're better than trying to cram everything into 20 minutes or worse having 50 parts for your viewers to go through just for one topic
The Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man felt more like a bootleg low-budget fan game than a true arcade port of the original. (29:19)
And even Atari had the understatement to advertise the game as quote "Differs slightly from the Original"
Rogue Warrior is definitely in the "so bad it's good" category, probably more than any other game.
Same with WWF warzone it's like they tried to make a WWE game with mortal kombat and street fighter controls but broke them I love how bad that game is because it's in the same category as Rogue Warrior and Sonic 06 it's so bad that it's good
You forgot the controversy that spawned within The Guy Game where it turned out that multiple women shown happened to be minors, causing the game to be illegal
Oh man I remember a UA-camr who mentioned that a friend of his got a epileptic seizure from playing Top Banana in a dark room
since theres actually quite a bit in this video that apparently wasnt properly researched or defined, i figured i'd do my part and clarify something in here that even someone else who clarified it got it wrong.
the dead body at the game over screen in Hong Kong 97 is real, however it's also not of Leszek Blazynski, or Atef Bseiso, or Farag Foda (all three of those having been speculations as to who the image is of). The image is actually from a Japanese "shockumentary" or mondo film named New Death File III.
In NDFIII, at 28:55 (not in this video, despite youtube timestamping that part of the video), during footage of the Bosnian War in 1992, the film shows the body of a deceased civilian. this was confirmed several years ago to be the body featured in HK97.
this is all found from in total 3 (three) google searches. research isn't extremely hard, esp with something as widely covered as Hong Kong 97, though considering this is at a point in the iceberg where most of everything is widely known, i doubt there's many people watching who aren't aware of hong kong 97.
That's the first time I've heard someone pronounce Lionel Messi like that.
20:36
I’ve played a lot of futbol/soccer games in my life time, and I have to say that E futbol is one of the worst games I’ve played. I mean where do I start, every time I try to do a simple pass they don’t pass to the right players, then it’s super glitchy so half the time the game will crash out of no where, and the graphics where just horrible even the players of the real players faces where just horrible and ugly. I don’t wish even on my worst enemy to play this horrible game
6:00 That actually isn’t true there was a new Bubsy Bobcat game that released back in 2017 called Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back.
And in 2019 with Bubsy: Paws on Fire.
Forgot about that game? That's okay, there wasn't enough marketing for it.
If you’re planning a sequel to this, may I please suggest including Robin Hood’s Quest and Driving in Tehran?
6:32 It would've been even more uncomfortable if Sonic turned into a human after the princess kissed him 💀
50:50 Yeah, it is a photo of a real dead body. It was taken from a documentary or some sort. There is an interview video with the developer himself.
first time I've seen someone talk about the guy game and not address the reason it was banned, was that for youtube censorship reasons? but even though I had already heard of most of these games I was entertained, I think if you put in the work and research you have potential
I don't think it was the case, because even other UA-camrs like Caddicarus and Scott The Woz either mentioned or hinted the reason why it was banned. I think it might've been the case of not enough research.
Streatham hill stories was British wasn't it. My nit pic is that you mentioned what happens when a foreign company attempts a GTA clone when rockstar itself is British :p
Good video though
56:00 I wouldn't say Miyamoto wanted Popeye to be the mascot for Nintendo, as Mario ended up being the mascot because he was an original character.
It would've been more correct to say the game that eventually became Donkey Kong was to have the main cast of Popeye as the characters, but they failed to secure the rights so they invented DK and Jumpman (Mario) instead.
Even with that, the video is still really good, keep up the good work
This really could’ve been better researched & edited 😬
How?
The HongKong1997 3 second music loop haunts my nightmares.
Great video man! And can I say that your cat looks a lot like you haha
1:08:01 lmao I keep seeing this scene appearing when I see someone talking about that one thing trump said “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!”
Pretty good video, but the Mega Man X7 entry wasn't entirely accurate. Mega Man X4 is arguably the best game in the sub-series, competing with X1, and X7 did get a sequel in X8, which is a leagues better game. X Command Mission also was decently well received, and Mega Man as a whole didn't really die off until several years later.
Takeshi's challenge is bad to play. Randomly spawning enemies, a large overworld full of red herrings, a lot of RNG, and a paragliding segment which is absolute hell. And they final area is full of racist islander stereotypes, after all that. Its a classic because its bad, all the fans are trauma bonded to it.
The one thing I’d say you could do a bit better on is the research for each entry. I don’t need a complete recap of every entry, but missing pretty obvious/big stuff (guy game’s underage girl being the reason it was banned and bubsy getting new games after 3d to name examples) makes some entries feel half-baked
If everyone hates mighty No. 9 then I'm dead
Nice video!!! I like your voice and editing is fine too!! Subbed!!🌸🫧
Don't listen to what people are saying, keep making long icebergs like this one. Mfs make one video for each layer in the iceberg and end up making you watch 16 parts of the same fucking iceberg. It's better to just do it all in one big video.
It's literally just one guy saying that and everyone has made it clear that he shares the minority opinion
Fun fact for the Guy Game: one of the contestants was underage, making the game considered CP and therefore illegal.
Of course, the expert on "that topic" like you would know...
@@БогданКрименюк what
@@БогданКрименюк what does this mean
The Guy Game is such a crazy concept like who had the idea that the lonely guys the game was made for would wanna do trivia while trying to crank their hog
I liked learning about some of the games that I had never heard about, although as an avid AVGN fan whose seen every episode numerous times, it was kind of obvious when you were using quotes/footage directly from one of his vids (Dark Castle or The Crow, for example). Overall I enjoyed watching though
This video is pretty poorly researched. Not only were there two bubsy reboot games released a few years ago, Aliens: Colonial Marines was panned for it's laughable enemy AI and graphical downgrade over the pre-release footage, and there have been efforts to fix both hence the better reviews
It's the usual wikipedia tier slop.
Bubsy did have another game, even made by the same company
28:50 The Leisure Suit Larry series actually has had two new games come out: Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry (2018) and the sequel Wet Dreams Dry Twice (2020).
the first one is basically the plot of Austin Powers but its the 2010s and Larry has to try and woo modern women.
I've not played the second game, just watched a walk through.
As a female fan of the og series, these new ones were a fun little romp
My name isnt shane kid
Seeing Ganso Saiyuuki and Hoshi wo Miru Hito made me really happy as a kusoge enthusiast.
Oh dude you have to play the good saints row games
i personally liked tomb raider AOD and it has a cult following too, there is a HUGE backstory why the game came out unfinished
I also really enjoyed it. It was my first Tomb Raider game, so it's nostalgic. Didn't know the backstory though. Will try to find a video that goes into it
Actually, if you judge The Guy Game by content alone, it's - supposedly - not half bad. (Obviously, I've never played it; the reason this game is so bad is related to the reason you could - no joke - be arrested for owning it.) IGN reviewed it, and based on gameplay alone, gave it a 7.5 rating, describing it as "solid, simple, and fun", if lacking in replay value.
The reason the game is so notorious is, they never bothered to ask the age of the "contestants" featured in it, and one was under 18, making the game technically child porn (this is why pornographic film studios have gone through lengths to make sure that the actors they hired are of legal age and have consented to being in a porn production following the Traci Lords scandal of the 80s). The game was recalled, and a lawsuit later put Topheavy Studios out of business.
wait wheres Armed and Delirious ?????
I feel like the Diabetes game would get a pass if it wasn't so hard. It's meant to be played by kids, why is it hard 😭
Most of these games are pretty good
About Bubsy you made a mistake
Their creators decided to revive it some years ago and they made two of the most boring platformers ever made as a result
And as much as i hate to assume, they are the best bubsy games
Didn't even mention Shadow: War of Succession, 2/10!
I'm in the middle of trying to 100% Balan Wonderworld. As awful as the game is, it's hilarious how little it makes sense. I'm actually having a good time because of how laughably bad it is.
The majority of the games in the lower sections of the iceberg are fairly common knowledge.
Thanks for making a video that I can play in the background while I work
There's a good F&F video game: the Forza spin-off.
Is it just me or does the animation for Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric look really good? Hell it's better than Frontiers and I love that game
AVGN needs to see this if he needs more ideas on what game should he feature next and not another generic mobile game that's already obvious. I'd rather see him review RapeLay than do that one episode.
Same.
Even if it gets nuked off youtube, id still watch it just for the reaction.
Much love for Yuma ❤️ keep it up bro
As someone who owns an actual copy of Wild Woody, I find the game itself to be fine, it’s what you’d expect from a Sega platform game. The cutscenes are terrible though. The game is a personal guilty pleasure of mine haha. Not that bad
Kinect sold extremely well though. 35M.
there's actually another waldo game on the nes that lets you see waldo, so that one got it right
Calling it now, Sad Satan is at the bottom.
Mega man dos?
ECW anarchy rulez is easily the worst wrestling game because the devs got lazy and the game looks bland for being a PS1 wrestling game its just another reskin of WWF warzone but worse
When you talked about Efootball I think you got the wrong game, I’m sure it was talking about the console version not the mobile.
Lalo Salamanca at 28:27
30:29 How bad was _this_ _Pac-Man?_ I had the game beat barely 4 hours after I played it _for the first time;_ and it wasn't even on _my_ 2600!!
A year later, they did a _waaaaay_ better job with their version of _Ms. Pac-Man._ The monsters actually _chased_ you; and it wasn't so easy to start a game on the hard level on Sunday and still play that same game on _Friday!_ 👍
Rogue Warrior is a fucking masterpiece!
7:33 Balan Wonder*world*.
47:37 you can say ugly bastard it's ok lol
I thought everyone hated colonial marines
Tucson here 🌵
chidamin
Not sure if you just mentioned cheetahmen in a memey way or just saying you can't stand the games mentioned in the video
TOP BANANA MENTIONED WOOOOO
Cool vid
28:08 postal 3 actually is the bane of a postal fans existence because apparently there was a bunch of controversy surrounding the fact that the development team wasn’t the team that made the other postal games which are cult classics in there over the top nature as “more offensive gta” where the series two gimmicks was its only as violent as you are and that your a sick person for buying a game that’s this racist and violent it was meant for not only to provoke thought on the people who wanted a good thing to think about but also quill the itch for something mind numbing dumb violent and offensive to play making it be a good game for multiple types of people and the fact that the games were perpetually bad looking to make fun of the player yet is actually fun to play makes it a gem among the rough luckily postal 4 was much better even if it’s moving a different direction and postal brain damaged is the best arena shooter I’ve ever played gameplay wise even if the humor is kinda bad the fact that postal 3 wasn’t thought provoking and just straight up dumb and offensive while not being fun to play pushed both of its demographics away making it even worst than you mentioned.
Not watching the whole thing, is Lunar Dragon Song on it?
43:14 funny enough this was atlas gee what they made later on
You're winner
PLAYSTATION IS F❤❤❤ING LIT
46:27 woah she looks coop
I feel like Crazy Octopus should be on this. Probably on Layer 2
Claiming ET is worse than Big Rigs? Despite the actually working gameplay mechanics that even the AVGN pointed out are overhated by an audience that didn't bother with the instructions?
Duke Nukem Forever was just juvenile and offensive? Unlike that critically acclaimed South Park RPG series?
This list can't even handle the basics. Think I'll check out here.
no undertale, ddlc, helltaker and touhou?
Great video
I don't want to criticize you, because I liked the video, but you may want to shorten your videos and not cover such a broad subject. I think it would help a ton for getting more views and comments but it's really hard to comment on long videos like this because there are so many changes in subject and people forget what all they watched
The yapper
The ice bergs are made specifically to be long expansive listings of topics…just don’t watch this dude’s icebergs. He shouldn’t have to shorten them when plenty of UA-camrs that post long icebergs get crazy views.
Nah, long iceberg videos get a lot of views.
are you new here or?
This is pretty short by iceberg chart standards. See: Wendigoon.
This was good
31:55 Disney's DEI policies were in advanced years before. XD
Here's one more rotten gems! Limbo of the lost (2008) it's great
hell no duke nukem forever is on the list. It's a janky game but is fun to play.
