Weird Dreams Longplay (Amiga) [QHD]

[@TheGremlin19]

So glad i finally saw the end, as a kid i never made it past the garden, you have 0 idea how hard this is to play ha, everything you do has to be pixel perfect or you die yet still one of the games that has stayed in my head all these years! So good

[@mikeg8028]

Yeah, the video makes it look like an easy, quick run through the game. It was absurdly difficult, especially because you never had any idea what you were actually supposed to be doing.

[@MrTommyGeek]

35 years later it is still ... weird

[@MMAproAtGOLF]

Yeah 😂 gaming back then was not kid friendly ❤

[@deceiver444]

One of the most atmospheric games released in the 80'

[@CastleKnight7]

In the 80s too.

[@user-bj1mx2ip1c]

I had this game on my tandy w 640k ram

[@MMAproAtGOLF]

Amiga for me. I was 8

[@p6mkq]

I think that the piano's stage is the most beautiful part of this scary, bizarre adventure.

[@beauwalker9820]

Despite the creepy toothy Jack-in-the-box? (Yes, that's it's mouth teeth, not a neck frill it's playing like a piano)

At the bit with the clock, how can you tell if it’s safe to go through the door?

[@MrStarchild3001]

Freakishly difficult, atmospheric game, conducive to nightmares. I could never go past 10-30%. Glad to finally see full game here. Thanks!

[@somsoc_]

So this is what all my games of AI Dungeon actually look like! Not sure I'd want to play it but a masterpiece nonetheless.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

Overall presentation and graphical design: 9/10 (for the time) Controls: 2/10 You've gotten the best experience by just watching it, trust me

[@salaheddinetiar]

@@CopiousDoinksLLC I felt those awful controls without playing it like God ! It takes forever to hit something in this mess.

[@Stu_1977_SEmelb]

@CopiousDoinksLLC​ @@salaheddinetiar The controls were intentionally slow and sluggish. All part of its dream-like qualities and gameplay. There's another play video by SirDifferential where I've done a long post all about the game's background, in case you may be interested.

The ball belching @ 6:09 had me lmao.

[@jordanjackson6151]

Damn. Ahead of the time’s and on time for late 80’s Horror.😮 Never saw this until one of Michael Latham’s last interviews (he was a huge Sega rep). Even though he didn’t do this game, he had a fondness for it.

I never made it past the desert. I made it past the garden out of sheer luck (going through the bushes to exit the level isn't very intuitive...). I have to say that i do not like this game. There is a significant delay in the controls and most of the time it feels like you're hitting things or making jumps at random. All these problems make the game unnecessarily difficult and definitely not fun to play. Too bad, because with the surreal/gory atmosphere and the colorful graphics it could have made for a great gaming experience.

[@trentonthompson247]

You play football, then you have to go in the bushes. I'd say that's just like real life!

[@chano7053]

@@trentonthompson247 Well... I never played football with an homicidal, knife wielding little girl in a garden with killer lawmowers and man eating flowers... 😂😂😂

[@Slidemoon]

Same here. I was fascinated by the uniqueness of this game in its time, yet found it very frustrating.

[@Peace.Love.Psychedelics]

This game is over 20 years old ffs

[@Stu_1977_SEmelb]

It was a great game experience - for the right player. It's just a very, very different sort of game. The controls were intentionally slow and sluggish. All part of its dream-like qualities and gameplay. There's another play video by SirDifferential where I've done a long post all about the game's background, in case you may be interested.

[@FourBlackRabbits]

Wish I could've known about this game when I was a kid. Would've probably given me night terrors.

[@MMAproAtGOLF]

It’s how all of us came here. Childhood game. So good yet so scary

[@Perplexer1]

No wonder I had nightmares as a child.

[@p6mkq]

The hornet's defeat was pretty shocking ! XD

[@chriswinspear7965]

I remember seeing this game in magazines as a kid, never played it, looked trippy as fk.

[@retrodonut1185]

Dand this is really cool, got linked from reddit. Never heard of this game and probably wouldn't know what the hell I was doing but this is really entertaining to watch haha! Thanks for the video!

[@Autumnblueskies1]

This is impressively strange.

[@jaguarvssnake]

I loved this when I was a kid...what modern games come close to this for sheer unsettling surrealism?

[@oome4323]

Yume Niki is a good one

[@Dethmeister]

I don't think I ever made it past the desert. That first part where you're in the cotton candy machine, I used to think it was a blood separator or something medical because of the surgeons at the beginning.

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Even though it's candyfloss I think it's clearly meant to look a little bloody 😉

[@trentonthompson247]

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

I'd seen on TV, but never played it prior to the video. It's cool, but it's so hard!

[@noelconde995]

They shoud made a 3d version of this, nice atmosphere

[@Bobaklives]

The OG copy protection. I would love to see someone bring that for comic effect. “What did the author mean when they wrote page 33, paragraph 2, sentence 5? 🤔”

[@VirtuaVirtue]

this game genuinely feels like a dream thanks to the controls, ive never been able to run fast or fight well while asleep

[@c64customs]

Strange but nice, the music sounds good too.

[@lecorbak]

I love the girl with the knife

[@Lifesizemortal]

This game looks cooler than it plays. Im actually kind of relieved cinematic platformers went the way of the dodo

[@kevintamas7164]

Weird indeed.

[@Waccoon]

This type of gameplay reminds me of what was to come in the later CD-ROM multimedia years... minus the terrible FMV. It really drove me nuts as a kid. It was truly ahead of its time, but not in a good way. 8)

[@Scripture-Man]

Despite having an Amiga, I never actually played this, but I used to love it on Motormouth. I'm disappointed to discover that the spooky, atmospheric music from Motormouth isn't actually in the game itself! For me, the tune was the best bit! (If you don't remember the music, imagine the Weakest Link's "walk of shame" music overlayed with the 'ooo-eee-ooo' from Doctor Who!)

[@timewarpentertainment1041]

Lee, do you remember what time they did the Weird Dreams game on Motormouth? Was it the same year they had Gunge 'Em in the Dungeon, by any chance? I did not remember the music, but I did know it wasn't in the game itself. (If anyone reading this has a VHS tape with footage, please I beg you to upload it.)

[@AwesomeMooseSmile]

It's a shame that the gameplay isn't that great because it's one that sticks out in my mind a lot, especially the part with the weird mime playing the piano. I fell like this could be remade with the source engine, or even just a HL2 mod.

[@Gergatron4000]
