thought that so Jesse Daughter Grace is

0:42

a retro video game. Not, She's got

0:44

an awesome collection of retro games and

0:46

some games that are bad. And yeah,

0:49

There are retro gamers who's greatest dream

0:51

is to play all the brilliant Zelda

0:53

games. And then there is my daughter

0:55

who wants to play all of the

0:58

games that involve the Seven Up Spock.

1:00

Ah so ah. What we wanted to

1:02

do was have Grace pick six of

1:04

the worst, weirdest, most what the fuck

1:07

games that she's got and she has

1:09

made us play them. So we will

1:11

be playing these bad games, will be

1:14

reviewing them for our special show Greatest

1:26

Lived as little preview of our first

1:28

episode of a minute but. Jordan

1:31

I'm giving you an emotional. Connection.

1:34

Drumroll. To. Prepare you to

1:36

read the names of these Awful Here

1:38

are. The. Pieces Of Shit will

1:40

be paying her. Wayne's World, The Wayne's

1:42

World, The Platform or were Garth shoots

1:44

a gun at ninjas. Okay so to

1:47

be clear, this is a when we're

1:49

going to preview in a minute and.

1:52

This. Is so real. Like basically

1:54

what they did. Is.

1:56

When Wayne's World became a hit. With.

2:00

The World incorporated of Lorne Michaels or

2:02

whatever. Made. An outline for

2:04

a video game. Like. These are going

2:06

to be the six levels and of

2:08

the video game is once in a

2:10

music store ones that raw blows apartment

2:12

like basically them at that level of

2:14

outline. Then. Gave it to

2:17

two completely different a video game developers

2:19

who did not communicate with each other.

2:21

One. Of her made Nintendo games, one

2:23

of who made Super Nintendo games and

2:25

then each of them. Very.

2:28

Clearly not having seen the film,

2:30

assess, assess the then just work

2:32

from at like six Sentence outline

2:35

made completely different. Fucking insane.

2:37

Video games are really really while we're

2:39

Garth suits a gun and Wayne and

2:41

Garth fight ninjas. As you

2:43

is a truly terrible game, but a

2:45

lot of fun to plan. A lot

2:47

of fun to talk about. So yeah,

2:49

we'll be hearing a bit from our Wayne's

2:51

World episode, but we will also be

2:53

bringing you later in the year. Contra Force,

2:56

which is apparently a bad game that

2:58

they slapped the Contra logo on so

3:00

that people would buy it. Contra of course,

3:02

a beloved franchise. Apparently this games ah,

3:04

is not. Good. Ah

3:06

think it's what they call a nightmare.

3:09

yeah probably a real bad game are

3:11

we have Dragon's Lair? not to the

3:13

arcade version with the wonderful animations the

3:16

any as game which I imagine is

3:18

just some sort of medieval platform or

3:20

yeah like the arcade version has his

3:23

have like videodisks or laser discs in

3:25

yeah side of it so like you

3:27

would interact with fully animated Don Bluth

3:30

filmed essentially yeah. There. Is doing

3:32

are also a bad frustrating game and it's

3:34

own web services but it is genuinely beautiful

3:36

of under look at ah at A And

3:38

here's an interesting fact. I I know you're

3:40

not a huge retro gaming room at this

3:42

early. There's. No laser disc player

3:44

inside a Nintendo? No, no, it's just

3:47

the world's shittiest Nintendo Ds Dragon's Lair.

3:49

Ah, this is kind of fun. This

3:51

is a famous one. Shaq Fu Shack

3:54

of course secure. Neil Ah When he

3:56

wanted to have a video game for

3:58

some reason, he didn't. The to

4:00

be a basketball game. So it is

4:02

a fighting game where he travels the

4:05

universe beating up Alien. Yeah he tried

4:07

to make it a celebrity Superman game

4:09

but Jerry Seinfeld already bought the life

4:12

and sale assessor Silva playing sat through

4:14

The next game is cool world. You'll

4:16

remember the horny live action animation hybrid

4:18

from the mid nineties. Apparently there wasn't

4:21

any as game in which the crazy

4:23

as like to get in any S

4:25

license where you had to demonstrate that

4:28

it was family friendly right? Like. There's

4:30

no like there's no warning this

4:32

allowed on Nintendo. none. And so

4:34

this is like this is like

4:37

a fundamental contradiction in the premise

4:39

of this video games we'll be

4:41

playing Cool World And finally another

4:43

very same as bad video games:

4:46

Superman Sixty Four The and Sixty

4:48

four Superman game where he flies

4:50

around through fog and rings and

4:52

rings. Fog and rings. But it's

4:55

hard to see the rings because

4:57

of the thought Justice. So yeah

4:59

we. Are we playing all of these

5:01

crap heaps thanks to Grace? Or Learn English?

5:03

I was like a Superman guy. And

5:06

he had heard that video games where Sonic

5:08

the Hedgehog He had seen it through the

5:10

window of an electronic store and right is

5:12

like yeah well what's video games were a

5:15

character go through rings very go a success

5:17

isn't as good. Aside the Hedgehog know it's

5:19

not better back and everyone agreed everyone a

5:21

better than permitted to was better than Side

5:24

the Hedgehog say i'm sorry did I say

5:26

better than Sonic the Hedgehog? I'm a better

5:28

than that when educational Sonic the Hedgehog game

5:30

Priestess as it's monitored schoolhouse citing or something.

5:32

Just ah so yeah. this is Grace is

5:35

game Gauntlet and. It is only for

5:37

Max One members Maximum fun.org/join If you

5:39

want to hear this show and all

5:41

the other bonus content with accumulated over

5:43

the years it's gonna be funds. The

5:45

game's really bad and we want you

5:47

to enjoy our pain. There's a very

5:49

special. To

5:57

me but the any Us one and also you

5:59

about. Super Any s one

6:01

wrote. The Nintendo game, as I

6:04

mentioned, is a port of a

6:06

Gameboy game, and it has many

6:08

of the qualities of gameboy games

6:11

such as. Being. Difficult,

6:13

confusing, and hard to look at them.

6:15

I'm. It. Is it

6:17

starts with some sort of monochromatic

6:20

graphic art of When and Garth

6:22

and some Wayne and Garcia dialogue

6:24

and tax. I will say so

6:26

I've watched this be a play

6:28

through on you tube. The texts

6:31

that I think is in this

6:33

intro is like from the movie.

6:35

It's Wayne's monologue to camera when

6:37

he's like explaining his whole deal

6:40

and there's a little. There's.

6:42

A little chunk of it that you

6:44

know in those graphics where he says

6:46

the text says i've had a lot

6:48

of jobs but nothing you could call

6:50

a career and I'm like what of

6:52

weird thing to see in a Nintendo

6:54

game. Someone explaining says that they're having

6:56

a hard time finding a career at

6:58

such a weird thing to see in

7:00

those graphics. wouldn't you say that In

7:02

Contra, that's really a story about someone

7:04

finding what color their parachute is right?

7:06

That so that's so true. Yes and

7:08

An and they think that's a journey.

7:10

We're all on what color is. My

7:13

parachutes, Fire.

7:15

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.

7:17

That's true, Yes, Center parachutes

7:20

women are bungie cords.

7:22

Honestly, this part of

7:24

the game. Is. Probably

7:26

my favorite part of the game. Ah, I

7:28

liked her kids. It reminds me of how

7:30

much I like them. If he wins for

7:33

Susan, it's mundo. remember Wayne's world to pay

7:35

us. Ah

7:37

yeah. having having watched as a few

7:39

times of my kids because it's my

7:41

it's my wife's favorite movie of all

7:43

time so I've watched a few times

7:45

relatively recently and is received It's a

7:47

joy. It's a wonderful areas movie. If

7:50

my kids like a to they are

7:52

you know they were stand it completely

7:54

but but they like it so. In

7:56

the first level of this game

7:58

you are Garth. And.

8:01

It's. Hard to tell that you're garth. It

8:03

looks a little bit like you are.

8:07

Wearing either like a long enemies style

8:09

busy long coats yeah style business suit

8:11

or maybe a flabby shirt dress. It's

8:14

yeah, the that the fat. I wouldn't

8:16

know this is Garth other than the

8:18

fact that I read a Wikipedia entry

8:20

saying that you play as Wayne and

8:23

Garth so much. I guess this is

8:25

Garth in your blonde. but yeah he

8:27

does look like he's wearing like something.

8:30

a Sailor Moon Love. Interest would

8:32

where he's fighting his way through

8:34

a music store. and like I

8:36

said, there are some of these

8:38

games where they just get like.

8:41

An early treatment of what the script might

8:43

be like a may have to make the

8:45

game from. It's good that they they knew

8:47

what the movie was going to be. When.

8:50

They made this game because it

8:52

allowed them to anticipate things like

8:54

how much Garth loves guns. Yes,

8:57

He has a gun. It's it's it's yeah,

8:59

it's totally insane. I mean I understand

9:01

the challenge of like we want to

9:04

make a Wayne's World game. What did

9:06

they do? But yeah, just the decision

9:08

select right? Garth just suits living drums

9:11

with a gun. It is so weird.

9:13

So he is. he. he. It seems

9:15

to be some kind of ray gun

9:17

on him. The only reason you can

9:20

identify this? Not from any unusual. It's

9:22

gun shaped, Yeah, but it looks like

9:24

kind of little electrical bolts or something

9:26

like that. Are you. Coming out

9:29

of it success is Dorothy

9:31

Qc. A gun.

9:33

He founded his dad's closet. T

9:37

V and a variety of guns. He might

9:40

need a rak. that's true. Yeah, that's a

9:42

joke from the ah that jokes Gray and

9:44

I was the best it of in this

9:46

game. Italia comes up in the super. didn't

9:48
