The jack in the box died beacuse the candy you gave to him were drugs and when he saw himself the drugs started working boom you have a cursed solution to the dumb situation
We are all jack-in-the-box heads until we are given drugs and then we explode
Boom metaphor
You spoiled it for me ):
There's something so visually endearing about abandonware games like this. The primitive 3D graphics are so nostalgic to me, despite not being born in that era, not even for another decade, but I still feel like I remember them from countless low quality computer games I played as a child. I loved the "Alone in the Dark" video, and even though these old games are pretty shitty gameplay-wise nowadays, I still love them so much, and I'm actually excited to try to play this one.
Thanks for the very nice 7 and a half minutes, Ben!
grace’s eyes pierce into my soul when she looks at the camera
Love your explanations of niche games like this.
It doesn't matter what game it is, you always make it interesting.
Your voice is very soothing, thanks for making time for us in the middle of your exams! Keeping the awesomeness up I see
i'm a big fan of the way you go over and explain games in your videos ^_^ it feels very honest and cozy if that makes sense? interesting game too, excited for alone in the dark 2 as well since i dont think ive seen it talked about very much!
Love seeing content about old games, especially the obscure ones, as well as about the newer games! Good luck with finals! I’ll leave plugging the game I want you to play for the next video as not to bother you With such a big deal so close to time :)
Glad to see how fast you're growing!
You are criminally underrated, i hope to see more videos, i want to see you reach 50k by the end of this year
I love your videos man, you manage to keep me entertained with all the little details you put in. Even short content like this is super fun to watch. Hope exams go good for you and keep up the good work!
you will definitely be succesful in a few months, your videos are absolutely amazing :D
Well well well this is a pleasant surprise~
You work really hard to give us such great content and stuff!
Looking forward to more~
Cheers~
Oh and good luck with your exams!
interesting concept, weird execution. Nevertheless it makes me smile for a small content creator to rise in popularity. Waiting for that 100 k special :)
Hopefully one day :)
The GOG and Steam releases of Alone in the Dark Trilogy contain Jack in the Dark. It's available as a launch option when you boot up the first game.
If I remember correctly, if you press use/search near the bookshelf behind the counter, you can find a book. It's a lengthy read, but it contains hints and solutions to most of the game's puzzles.
Love your videos! Keep it up!
You made a youtube Channel a month ago and yet you're unironically one of the greatest youtubers i ever found
Great video! You're one of the only youtubers I leave notifications on for because I genuinely love your content and way of explaining things :]
even tho this was a short video i still loved it! i love the games you chose to play and this one was interesting lol
i’m indicted for alone in the dark II, the pictures look promising
hope exams go good for you!
I can't wait for you to cover the movie for alone in the dark
Hope you did well on exams! I was at the other end of things grading them. Glad to finally be done.
Yeppie a new video!!
Goodluck with finals!!!
It is always intriguing to look back at early horror games. The graphics honestly look pretty good, it’s just the pacing and mechanics that makes ‘em so hard to enjoy nowadays
Hope your finals went/is going well! Your videos are still as great as ever :] I’ve been listening to your old videos on repeat as background noise while I go through my own finals week. Your voice is so calming.
I want to suggest the game Fear and Hunger for you to play. It’s a grim-dark RPGMaker Rogue-like that picked up some popularity recently since a popular YTer covered it. I don’t count on you making a video to cover it since it’s very much a “you can technically beat it in 2 hours but you’re gonna be grinding the learning process for months” kind of game, but I think you’d be interested in the story aspect of it.
Have you tried Alice is dead? Its an oldish horror-point and click-puzzle flash game series which is similar in style to the games you've shown in your channel. The series itself is a bit short but very surreal
I love your content. I cant believe you have less than 100k
1) My frustrations with old PC games, exactly. If some old PC games are hard to emulate/install on modern PC, then it's hard to play them. I have to use ScummVM to play some games like Eye of the Beholder and a few Ultima and Might & Magic games that works after some updates are available.
2) I remember seeing an old gameplay or longplay video someone uploaded here on UA-cam, somewhere in 2007, of Jack In The Dark. Maybe I can try and find it again. Can't remember who the uploader was. And whoever that uploader was, managed to install and capture the game on video perfectly, because the audio and the image were good. Again... old PC games are hard to install/emulate on modern PC...
You got one of those listenable voices that I can just sit back and listen to for hours
A Ben Again video? It's short? Don't care, Ben you're one of my favorite content creators it's lovely, and i needed this break from my exams T^T
Ben posted, boredom gone.
Again.
"It looks like the sequel is going back to the eerie tone of the original"
**Laughs in drunk tommygun Santa Carnby**
Awesome
Heh heh heh. Jack in the dark. Sounds like something I do on a regular basis.
Being an overnight mechanic is hard
It sucks it was so hard to get emulated properly. You made it sound interesting regardless, still loving your stuff!
"You've seen that in movies." OK, name the movie where toys march in a line toward a drum. I'll wait right here.
Hey will you complete the rest of the strange man series
I want to watch him play through Boogieman so bad!
Don’t worry, it’s in the works!
Look at me watching UA-cam at 10 p.m yay
Don’t know how the exams work but best of luck
We love you, Santa!
wait im in the dark?
I am once again commenting for the algorithm. Godspeed.
cool
Interesting little series of games we have there. Does this mean you’ll be covering alone in the dark 2? Also hope exams go well for you!
I plan to cover the entire rest of the alone in the dark series :)
@@ben_again oh cool! Can’t wait dude
AITD4 is neat, it's maybe not out of this world but its pretty solid, the music and art direction is pretty good imo.
Yes more content to scarf down
santa was in jail for being out at the wrong month, duh
Hey, here another like and comment for your algorithm
Wish I was in a toy store. I would steal everything
Yo, since you talk a lot about little known or at least little talked about games, can you review Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, it’s supposed to change the monsters appearance based on what you do in the game and that sounds pretty cool
Edit: Now that’s I’ve looked it up it is pretty well talked but I’d love to here you talk about jt
This might sound weird, but I actually hope THQ Nordic remakes this game. They actually made a new DLC for Grace already, so it would be cool if they release this as well.
i can't get the timing on the mirror right. I think dosbox is broken
Very interesting,
By the way are interested in making a video about Grim Fandago?
Im sure you woud enjoy it!
I own the game and it’s on my to-play list!
@@ben_again Cool, it's a great game and i think it woud fit very well with your channel
Have a great day 👋
The steam release of alone in the dark 1 includes jack in the dark, you can select it when you boot the game up, although to get the first alone in the dark on steam, you have to buy it in a bundle with all 3 of the classic games AND the terrible reboot. Hope this helps for the next 2 in the trilogy, if you make videos on them!
I'd like to see Ben playing Ao Oni
I couldnt even finish watching Mark play it lol, its pretty scary
5:00 this should be the punishment for people who skip leg day.
"jack in the dark" lets all be mature and act like we're not thinking it.
He figured out how to put one foot in front of the other
And before long he'll be sprinting out the dooooor!
Just put one foot in front of the other.
Dunno why, but the style, font and ui really give some osrs vibes
Oh boy can’t wait to see what you think about Alone in the Dark 2 because watching others talk about it
OH BOY-
ive got nothing to say but i wanted to comment to boost the video in the algorithm
Exactly the 3000th like
I PROMISE I won't make a joke about the title of this game. Anyway, love ya stuff. Keep it up.
Eventually he'll hit 40k
Hey this comment might be a month too late, but just so you know, on GOG (a drm free distributor of old games owned by CD Projekt Red) Jack In The Dark is bundled with Alone In The Dark 1 in there. For me, it seemed to run fine, but it could also be DOS Box not wanting to work on some computers. Hopefully you see this.
Anyone else read the thumbnail as "jack in the doxx" at first?
Jack in the dark is something most don’t admit they do
I recommend you play Fear and Hunger, a very good horror game.
What a wacky title!
*Almost as wacky as Alone in the Dark 2008.*
you should play Omori sometime! :) it's sorta similar to The Crooked Man in the way it tackles hard subjects. Omori is one of my favorite games ever I think, just make sure to go into it as spoiler-free as you can. it'd be really cool to see your take on it!! :D
doesn't this game come with the gog version of alone in the dark
Why is it so hard to get emulators to work?
All Jack In The Boxes are evil
Bro, type in INDARK2 16 1 to get the game to run properly :)
''Jack in the Dark'', huh sounds very... suggestive?
first
also loved the video, just had to assert dominance as the first
