Abobo's Big Adventure (PC) Part 1 - James & Mike Mondays

[@rogerbarr]

Hey guys, thanks for finally doing a playthrough of our game! Was wondering if you'd ever get around to it. Looking forward to part 2!

[@jswets5007]

This is easily the best video game ever made. Yes, even one bit higher than Ninja Baseball Batman.

For people commenting about using an NES controller. I wanted to do that, but when we recorded the video, I couldn't find my NES USB controller adapter anywhere. I found it a few days ago though. Hopefully I'll remember next time we do something NES on PC - Mike

I was hoping someone would say this so I wouldn't have too. Thanks Sean Spear.

[@Vykk_Draygo]

Yeah... I was waiting for them to say that. Disappointed that they didn't!

[@skylinefever]

Maybe they don't know it because they often hate CGI in movies, and The Last Starfighter used a large amount of CGI for its time.

[@GodwinCarpenter]

Mike with all the energy here, James looks like he's just had a lobotomy.

[@robaba89]

Ultimate Warrior, RRP, Taker and Hogan lol What a great ending.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

Hey James and Mike, can I make a request? Since it's sonic the hedgehogs 25th anniversary, maybe you could play sonic generations, pc or console, any version? It's really good

[@thegraymarketsafari2485]

We're not James or Mike but we played through Sonic 2 a while back. How's Generations?

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

The Gray Market Safari Generations is awesome, my favorite sonic game

[@thegraymarketsafari2485]

Good call. We'll totally have sandwiches next time we record.

[@thegraymarketsafari2485]

Only if we can find a way to stream the smell. We would want to SHARE a moment like that.

[@nandabun]

I can't believe they didn't make the connection!

[@Benjamonnn]

Mike’s Peewee impressions and James’ reactions to them crack me up lol

[@svartfrasr9755]

The Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Hulk fucking Hogan just killed Amazon, one of my most hated NES characters... I am complete.

[@Azraelfilms2010]

Can we get Mike to reenact the Pee Wee anti drug PSA? "This is crack cocaine. huuhaa"

[@Kantoro]

So I figure I'm the 20,000th guy to say this but... come on, ya didn't know the Amazon and the game Pro Wrestling? Thats classic Nintendo! Then again, it sounded like ya didn't even know Roddy Piper was lol (and yes he wears a kilt), so wrestling's probably not your thing.

[@Kantoro]

crashinator1 Look fair point, but Pro Wrestling is a damn near iconic game with multiple memes and famous characters coming from it. Also, one of the guys in the video called himself "The Angry Nintendo Nerd" so I expect more of him than the average joe.

[@Kantoro]

crashinator1 Look at ain't the end of the world, of course. But whether you heard or it or not, Pro Wrestling wasn't an average title. Its a little confounding that these are the guys who made "Bimmy and Jimmy" from DD3 a thing but they never heard of "A Winner is You"? Then again, they didn't know about the Death Blossom either so whatever.

[@Kantoro]

crashinator1 also you say you they love wrestling but James had to ask if Piper wore a kilt. Thats like saying you love video games but are shocked that Mario is a plumber.

[@Kantoro]

crashinator1 1) Actually i know Trans Fans who could tell me and have told me all of that, but I digress lol 2) You're treating knowledge of Roddy Piper like its niche knowledge. Roddy Piper is one of the most famous wrestlers of all time, there's a reason he appeared there with Warrior, Hogan, and Taker. He's as iconic as any of them. Your example would make more sense if Louie Spicolli was summoned, who is a guy mainly hardcores know about. Sorry but Piper is must know knowledge if you are a fan of prowrestling.

[@Kantoro]

ZachAttack84 Agreed!

[@manpower386ify]

This game was purily sensational! And to know the creator of Double Dragon loved this game says quite a lot! They need to make a sequel!

[@HarringtonKyle]

9:50 River City Ransom, also my favorite NES game!

[@TEXTMANNEN]

20:43 It's a cucumber from Ice Climber NES

[@Firevine]

Does there need to be a Nerd episode about Pro Wrestling now? It's not a great game, but it's one of the iconic ones to me.

[@iiiiiifggffggffgfgfg]

It's certainly an icon of shit.

Mike doing the Pee Wee laugh gets me every time.

[@shoddyworkmanship4934]

Thanks for the video, this is pretty funny. But, Mike, I beg you to have a USB game-pad all ready to go when you and James play computer games. Pretty please?

[@Sifer2]

I'm a PC gamer an not even I prefer Mouse+Keyboard for all games bro. It's great for shooters, and strategy games. But for beat em ups or old style NES stuff a gamepad would be just be easier most of the time. Especially for button mashy stuff like that water, and balloon level.

[@MegaDudeman21]

yea im a pc purest and no way would i ever use a mouse and keyboard for fighting or platform games. shooting and racing games yea. but not fighting or platforming

[@DaddysFlipside]

MegaDudeman21 Why do you prefer keyboard and mouse for racing games?

[@DaddysFlipside]

Eh, we'll have to agree to disagree. I think mouse and keyboard is definitely the best option when it comes to any shooting-centered games and isometric strategy games, specially in real time but anything else is way more comfortable to play with a controller imo. I don't think not knowing how to play porperly with kbm is indicative of anything. There's a lot of people who've grown in the PC gaming culture and have no idea of how not to empty a magazine in the wall behind the enemy that's shooting at them. Some people feel the need to expand on their gaming knowledge and get out of the area of comfort and others don't. I think it's okay anyway, regardless of your point of departure. Not everyone has the same tastes and there's nothing wrong with it.

[@JtMoney88]

So he's a casual for using a gamepad and not a mouse and keyboard? Do you know how stupid you sound? James has been playing video games for over 30 years, just because he doesn't pc game that often does not make him a casual. You and your kind need to keep your mouth shut because you make gamers look bad.

[@facerip356]

*Can I ask a question? WHERE IS THE ENTHUSIASM??? Why does it feel like I'm watching 2 old men who are half- asleep lazily play a video game? Where is the fun? Where is the excitement? If you never saw these 2 before, you'd swear they were strangers and they just met each other. Why even make these videos if they're gonna be so bored while they do it? James wtf man. I mean, really. Get it together dude. This isn't supposed to be like a real job, remember? YOU ARE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES ON KZbin! I've seen more pep from guys about to go to work for 12 hours in a steel mill. Unbelievable. When did these guys jump the shark? Why can no one on their team look at this and think "We really shouldn't put this out. Let's try again, some other day. Our heads weren't in it."*

[@peachjackson3856]

FaceRip what do you expect them to do? High five each other the whole time and have tickle fights? Should they act like they're in an old NES commercial?

[@facerip356]

Is that what you want to see? Tickle fights and high fives? Hmmm.... So you're happy with this video then huh? A game with nothing but classic, nostalgic NES and pop culture references, and this is the best they can do? I saw James yawn a few times for Christs sake. If this is the level of quality you accept for your entertainment, then you deserve it. I really mean that.

[@facerip356]

Mike is fine. Mike is quick as always, recognizes things, he's fine. It's James. Sometimes I can't believe he actually plays video games. How long do you think it would've taken James to realize you need to destroy those pillars in the Zelda room to hurt that old man? An hour? 2 hours? I don't think he'd ever realize. Thank God for Mike. At least he knows how to actually play a video game and adapt. And if you've been watching their videos for as long as I have, you know this is nothing new. Mike is always the one figuring this stuff out. Always.

[@MegaDudeman21]

"They should do Castlevania in space." You mean Metroid? (Granted it's got more in common with the sequels than the original)

[@garvensman]

You guys realize that this game came out WAY before NES Remix, and around the same time as Super Mario Bros Crossover, but was THE mashup game. We know you PLAYED this game way late, but this game was the Epitome of the NES crossover.

[@TheBaioken]

*click clack click* who would think of playing something like this with a keyboard? wtf? A controller is 10 times more convenient, just use a xbox controller, anything.

Death Blossom was from Last Starfighter

[@bencheshire]

Nintendo should strike a deal with these people, this thing is a great tribute to their stuff, should be on a Nintendo console.

[@bencheshire]

I'm sure you're right. I was thinking of NES Remix but those are all properties owned outright by Nintendo? Way easier I guess.

[@ValtteriNieminen]

Love this game, it's the perfect homage to the NES. One problem I have with it though is that they didn't bother naming the creatures properly when they showed up on the bottom right of the screen when you hit them. Like at 17:23 the Zeb from Metroid 1 is called "Metro" because they're from Metroid or something. I guess it's a joke. I just think it's weird that they would go through drawing every enemy a cool portrait but not look up their real names!

[@James3of3]

OMG! Death Blossom is from The Last Starfighter.

[@CubamusPrime]

Amazon from Pro Wrestling on Nes

[@springwoodslasher7850]

Amazing game! Can't wait for part 2. I wish this was out on a console.

I like how they say that after Nintendo did it It's already old. THIS GAME HAS BEEN OUT FOR AGES!

Yeah but they didn't mean it with this one, just the genre.

Also, for another James and Mike, please play Elf Bowling 1+2 on Game Boy Advance. It has dark humor that will make you and Mike laugh your asses off.

Geez, how can you guys _not_ have like _a couple_ of USB adapters for classic game pads _and_ at least one xbox or PS4 pad readily available? I know you're not PC gamers per se, but come on! I used to play SNES games on emulator since 1998 and I had a Microsoft Sidewinder game pad even back then!

[@franzschnabel1602]

It´s unplayable with Keyboard, use the program JoyTech, there you can assing Keyborad-Keys to Game-Pad. For such games it´s perfect, because there are just a few Buttons jump,shoot,walk.
