Classic Game Room - AMOK review for Sega Saturn

[@SwankeyMonkey]

This game I place near the top of my Saturn gems list. The OST is real moody, and gives this game so much charm.

[@pirut1]

I LOVED this game. I might hunt down a Saturn just to play this one again.

[@NEzell-sj1yu]

Mark, you are the William Shatner of video review shows. "I... can't quite say... how... good... the game is. But... you... *should*... buy it now." I love it. Also, as dark and foggy as this game is, it's still got a better view distance than Nightmare Creatures.

[@MilitaryHistory2011]

This is how Tony Abbot originally planned to carry out the shark cull in Australian sea's.

[@dreadvenom1]

This was one of the first games I got when I got my Saturn a year ago. One of the better co-op games for the Saturn for sure.

[@stevefuentes1412]

Love this show even more when I find out Mark actually knows and cares about the composer for the music. Jesper Kyd is great!

[@thegreatagitator4675]

Polygons. Bitmaps. Voxels. Great. The guys at Lemon really understood how the utilize the hardware.

[@Rocketknightgeek]

I remember being annoyed at the darkness in this game when I was younger but still thinking it felt really good for some reason. Then I had that 'DUH' moment where I realized that the game's so frigging dark because it's basically doing N64 fog to keep the frame rate high while it throws literally hundreds of enemies and bullets around. I don't think it ever drops below 60. The same devs also did a racing game called Scorcher that does something similar so that it can be crazy fast.

[@RaccoonGrrrl]

I remember playing this one on PC when I'm a kid. It have some Descent feel in it in the age where many people begin to worship 3D

[@Chaosbreak1]

OMG!! I had this game for my saturn many years ago! :D it was a good and hard game. Great memories. You didnt show the scorpion ;)

[@AncientSlugThrower]

I couldn't tell you a single detail about Amok today save to say the soundtrack is absolutely 🔥

[@kuatolives5355]

I loved how an old game like Amok runs smooth with all those 3d models and rotating levels

[@VGMJediden1024]

I was sad at first when he said "New Jersey" without reverb. Thanks for not letting me down! :) This game does look pretty cool. I've never had a Sega Saturn but may pick one up some day.

[@robertgoodnight900]

One of the better Saturn games out there. Fantastic soundtrack.

[@Submissive421]

I love it when you shot a shark to death and it floats up to the top. lol

[@FOUNDERZERO]

I *still* listen to the soundtrack for this!

[@willbelasco]

Mark's hair is majestic

[@Killahfam69]

I remember I traded a friend my tomb raider for sega saturn for Amok and I was so mad but it wasn't till high school I came to appreciate the games soundtrack which I still listen to till this day

[@JuicyPlams]

Haha, I was just about to comment on the lack of effect when he said New Jersey the first time

[@mink03]

I was just about to say you said New Jersey wrong in this review..... but you redeemed yourself last minute.. You're always on top of things.

[@malfactor1]

Jesper Kyd is awesome. Mark, do you have a copy of Sub-Terrania to review? He really shined in that game, and the game itself is great too

[@SurgeCess]

This guy is the greatest, perfect reviewing style, entertaining and funny.

[@mrthewubbie]

+Sergio-Cess Best. Avatar. Ever!

[@SurgeCess]

Mr. Georgie's Miniatures lol me?

[@frankynakamoto2308]

Sega Saturn was the best console for its time, was far from.its time, people don't realize that. I wish they made new accessories for Saturn like Wireless controllers, and new Netlink with Bluetooth, Ram expantion and enhancements like HD in back.

[@shalpp]

It really wasn't though. As a 2d system it was a total powerhouse but in the emerging era of 3D PSX had it beat in almost every aspect

[@JackDaScarecrow]

Why am I Shalpp? ??? It was definitely a 3-D system last I checked...

[@frankynakamoto2308]

Morden101 i never like that Wipeout game, terrible in my opinion, and they never even made a remake(i think).

[@frankynakamoto2308]

Why am I Shalpp? It was a 3D, it had many awesome 3D games.like Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragon Saga, and it never reached full potential, it had ram expantion for faster and better gaming, and it was the first to have online gameplay, also they should of made a back attachment to improve it as it had room for floppy disk memory storage of games and intenet capacity, they should haved builded an attachment to maximize it, that is a good idea, to include everything, more ram processor and all the goodies with memory storage to save entire games, and they could even make a new game for it. The Saturn with expantion 4Ram played games faster than PS1, the only reason why it fail as a console. Was bad management and poor international selling, they never sold it to other countries, and also they never release the japanese titles to USA, i would of like to seen that, also they should of made it backwards compatible to haved played sega genesis games.

[@MasterAdam100]

The Saturn definitely had the best controller. Both the original and the saucer one. That D Pad was so fresh.

[@JDubya2k]

Looks like a pretty cool game.

[@jeffh3649]

Does LK send the games back after he reviews them? I have a few rare ones that I could never part with!

[@ChillblaineFilms]

This looks pretty cool. When I get back into collecting for Saturn I'll have to pick it up

[@grungyperry7530]

Love the way Mark says Neeww Jerrrrseeey!!

[@GraveUypo]

oh, look at all those voxels. pretty cool.

[@moxy1701]

This is a cool game that I didn't know about till I saw it here! Thanks!

[@ragexpo9446]

I dig it.

[@fabienzaca]

I knew you were gonna do the NEW JERSERYY! thing xD

[@Trusteft]

I love the setting and the graphics.

[@7ito1990]

Need more games like this. Red Dog Superior Firepower was great, on the Dreamcast, if only there was a mix between these two... in pc...

[@Catalistic]

Man, I love that game. And there is one other that use some kind of mech or something too.

[@Catalistic]

Oh and Incoming

[@realtrisk]

Voxels in a Saturn game? Amazing!

[@mcrsit]

We miss u Mark

[@techeadache]

It may seem all washed out with grey and browns.But played on a curved CRT, it's very bright and colorful.Full of yellows, greens, and reds.Game looks like MUD on a flat panel.

[@AlvaroMev]

Woow! tomorrow im going to buy this game, seller contacted a week a go !! that feelings

[@mikesgameroom5290]

[@crativ3]

OOOooh voxels *drooling*

[@zydian_]

never heard of it before? cool

[@DehnusNorder]

Are those voxels?

[@DTM-Books]

DehnusNorder Yes!

[@googaagoogaa12345678]

i like this game i got a (ahem) backup of the windows version and the robot is called "slambird"

[@yorkshirepud6676]

Anyone remember a side scrolling shooter you are a giant ed 209 robot and thay are army trying to take you out with nads and guns, you can shoot the little fellas and stand on them, I remember you had radio contact with your base and just before you died you would say something like nearly dead but their not taking me without a fight!!! I cant remember what it was I played it on, its around the time of Amiga Snes era ??? anyone help ??

[@segaprophet]

I bought this used at Blockbuster in 1998! It's...uh...ok. It was certainly good fun back in the day.

[@lctb51]

Dear KZbin, please cease immediately automatically playing videos on the right!

[@marekvrbka]

Saturn game for 4,99? What year is it?

[@Wakkajakka]

Bought that game a few years back practically new for pc. Liked the crap out of it, no save feature though...

[@lostboy626]

Voxels before Minecraft! =D I had it, found a copy new! Didn't hang onto it for too long though. It seemed fun initially, but it just got too repetitive. Not as bad as Robotica, but I decided I wasn't going to go back to it and traded it.

[@clutchkman]

There are things that need blowin' up. That's all the story you need.

[@swishpronoob]

Now do scorcher!

[@hfric]

The best version was the DOS one , it has better graphics and longer view distance

[@Jm00sh]

Thumbs up for Jesper Kyd!!!

[@nikwennieinabunjupiter2443]

Cool

[@ezassegai4793]

to me this game is 10/10

[@Michirin9801]

Hey look! A modern game on the Saturn!! (And by modern I mean colorless shooty-shoot game) This one is pretty ahead of its time for sure...

Those are some voxel-ass voxels.

[@Megatog615]

Actually it's more likely to be a heightmap rather than voxels.

It uses voxels for the terrain, very likely in combination with a heightmap file.

[@Megatog615]

Oh, duh. To do something with the heightmap like that you'd need voxels or a shitton of polygons. The latter was not possible with the Saturn. Ignore me.

[@MickeyD2012]

That's what I thought when I saw it.

[@MrStrangermoon]

jesper kyd legendery work form hitman and assassins creed 12. game definelty mdk like game.

Jesper Kyd is the boss.

[@samvimes9510]

Those are some pretty impressive graphics for the Genesis. I always forgot that it competed along side the N64 and PSX

[@SinkingSage]

What? This is the Saturn, not the Genesis...

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

That was the Master System and Atari 2600 that demolished the psx and N63.

[@Axonteer]

Dare i say: AQUANOX

[@Cellfix]

I might be alone in this, but I bought this game for the PC back 1996 when I was 13-14, and it was the first game EVER that I was so dissapointed in that after playing it for less then an hour I returned it the same day and got my money back... such a garbage game.. Don't get me wrong, if you like/love this game that's fine with me, and I won't think less of anyone for liking stuff that I don't, but MAAAAAAAAAN this game was aweful (for me)! But at least something great came from it... An awesome review from Mark!

[@VecTron5]

It looks like a less interesting Ghost in the Shell (PS1) lookalike.
