[@lionocyborg6030]

@@ChibiKami Bonus levels still do that though, such as All Hallows in Tomb Raider 3 where if you ride a zipline all the way to the end, you slide down a chute into a bottomless pit. The later special stages in a lot of Sonic games get this way too, like special stage 7 in the Advance trilogy, all the Sonic & Knuckles ones, stage 4 onward in both Sonic 4 games, quite a few Mania ones and all of Pocket Adventure’s special stages. Crash Bandicoot’s bonus levels are even worse and they’re required to beat the game (all versions) and even required to let you save your game without awful password systems (original PS1 version). Rayman 2’s bonus levels give the player RSI from forcing them to constantly mash two keys/buttons and the less said about Marathon 3’s Vidmaster levels the better.

James Norwood Jim thank you so much for making this game! It remains one of my childhood favorites that I still replay to this day. The graphics have an aesthetic that’s hard to replicate. I get nostalgic just looking at them.

[@kaiosamatlj4031]

Fun fact about the first level of the third episode: I didn't knew about the invincibility move so I had to locate the mines by eye. And yes, it is possible, but it's one single cyan pixel in the grass, so it's very hard to see. But of course I was screwed over in part of the lasers, so I had to look up some kind of guide to find out about the secret invincibility potion. This is not something that I think people mention very often, but I think that dick move was intentional. Because from what I noticed, many games that were sold back in the day in the shareware format always pulled some kind of dick move in the first level of the final episode. For example: Hocus Pocus first level in the last episode had NO healing potions, so you had to be careful to not take damage from the enemies, and Heretic's first level in The Dome of D'Sparil episode had some useful stuff (including a Gauntlet, that is the equivalent of Doom's Chainsaw) in a open area with a Iron Lich in it, and you had to return to that area later since the way to the exit is also there. I think the reason why they done that is because since you bought the episodes separately, and there wasn't any kind of code blocking you from playing the episodes in any order you wanted, they wanted to fake a sense of progression by practically saying "hey, you think this level is too hard? Then 'git gud' by playing the previous epidodes and develop some skill and come back when you are already familiar with the game". But even with that line of thinking, this level of Bio Menace takes the cake. I think it's even more dicksh than the spinning barrel in Carnival Night in Sonic 3.

[@Quickdrawingartist]

I know of the barrel. Think it was two years after, I learned on my own that you can move it.

[@christopherwall2121]

I had a magazine walkthrough that told how the barrels work, so I never had that problem.

[@Cheepchipsable]

You can see the mines behind the grass, pretty difficult to see on an old 14 in CRT monitor though.

[@spimbles]

ok youre just bad if you struggle with the barrel in Carnival Night lmfao its literally just pressing up and down until you can pass. it is not rocket science, it is not jank, it is not hard to decipher. major major major skill issue for anyone who struggles with it

[@albishie]

Raven in OMF2097's shareware tournament. Think you're pretty good using the handful of basic robots? Think you've got the enemy combatants pretty well memorized? Maybe you can use a Jaguar like an SF2 veteran can use Ryu. Meet Raven and his giant flame-spewing robot, Pyro. Pyro forgoes legs in favor of pipes that come out of the chassis and shoot gouts of fire. It's forgone hands in favor of holes that shoot gouts of fire. It can still lift you above its head, barbecue you, and chuck you into an electrified wall. The paint on that robot is flames. Until this point, the most threatening robot is Thorn, which is covered in insectile spikes. Spiky Cockroach Bot, prepare to do combat against the Floating Easy-Bake War Crime Machine. Credit to the devs, though, you could unlock and use Pyro with enough effort, cackling over the molten slag of your foes. And then you see the massive and clearly superior Nova, available in the full release. Drug dealers use the exact same "first hit is free" model, yet they never gained any customers as obsessive, addicted, and loyal as Epic Megagames.

That's not poetry, that is a substitution of a simple "terrible hangover from a terrible bottle of scotch" (that would be expected) That is simply substituting the expected "terrible" for the word "fine" I think you're confusing poetry with a "humorous unexpected analogy" If you think that's poetry you probably work for Reader's Digest and think that that periodical is literature.

Not Romero or Carmack or Bleszinski or His Imperial Greasiness. Civvie doesn't just credit Ramses, but the workers who built the pyramids. Too many more will be forgotten, because Civvie and Katie are only two people, but it's wonderful to see the effort.

Hit for help, moved down to "the game" and it's on page 4 of 10, because they can put it there but not on the instruction sheet. Oh, and the part at around 17:30, where it forces you to take the useless landmines if you want the machine gun? I always just give up, take them, and then place the landmines right there to free up the grenades. And the thing about the final boss text boxes at 19:30? The flag that says you've already seen them is part of the game state that persists through loading a save. If you quit all the way out, restart the game, and load your save, you'll get another try at Agent Carmichael (sorry, "Carmikle") without him attacking you from across the map.

3D Realms should make Bio Menace 3D

Awesome channel, glad to have discovered it. You're like a combination of LGR and Gggmanlives, with Penguinz0's delivery.

Bio Menace was awesome! One of the best early games! What you say is wrong because back then, we died, and he hopped right back in and got better each time. It's like early Mortal Kombat, players experimented for months finding all the moves, as opposed to today it's all given to us. When we are spoiled we change. Back then, we weren't spoiled. We were good players.
