Crüe Ball review - Segadrunk

[@theycallmegodkid]

Is Twisted Flipper not a play on the band Twisted Sister?

[@matttherrien9608]

Gotta be. Did he really miss that?

[@stephandolby]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the graphic equaliser at the top of the table which reflects the game's audio output (at the very least, the music). Also, whilst you don't get the licensed songs during normal gameplay, you can't really miss them on your way to completing the game - Dr. Feelgood in the bonus stage, Live Wire at the final boss and Home Sweet Home after completion.

[@BrianSchmidt-GameSoundCon]

@stephandolby Thanks for noticing! It was a quite a bit of work to get that all working properly!

[@miltondelacruz7033]

My mom overheard Home Sweet Home and started singing it.

[@LeatherRebel75]

I'd imagine that this came out while Motley Crue were still promoting the "Decade of Decadence" compilation, a mix of hits and a few songs that had been recorded for that release.

[@BrianSchmidt-GameSoundCon]

I saw this randomly in my KZbin feed! Thanks for doing the review, and I appreciate the comments on the sound/music at 2:08! Brian (Composer/Sound Designer for CrueBall)

[@Tenkoman]

CrüeBall was one of my father's favourite games on the Mega Drive - even though we had a huge collection of Mega Drive games (incl. several yellow flags - aka the EA modules) - my father only played CrüeBall if he turned on the MD.

[@segagenesis1989]

Gerjet Berger, so what happened with the Mega Drive and games? Do you still have it?

[@Tenkoman]

The console itself is still in my posession and I still play on it from time to time (my muscle memory is pretty influenced by PAL - so that I can play Sonic 1 perfectly on 50 Hz. but fail hard in 60 Hz. rereleases) - sadly I made the mistake and sold most of the games during the Dreamcast/N64 era.... I rebought some games I enjoyed most, like Soleil ("Age of Centry" in NTSC regions)

[@Coinmancer]

I love pinball and loved his. I think all pinball games you mentioned (ac/dc, Metallica etc.) all came out years later. There was an old ‘kiss’ and an old ‘the who’ machine though.

[@Wallyworld30]

Motley Crue was a PERFECT choice! I wish they used more songs though.

[@SoulforSale]

And more satanic symbols

[@Davtwan]

And actually hear those songs during the levels of what SNES Drunk said was true. :B

[@AnthonyRiddle]

Sega took the ball and ran with famous endorsement games. I think it was a genius marketing strategy at the time where everyone's faces were glued to TV's.

[@Dorelaxen]

I used to play the hell out of this. Loved it, but why Home Sweet Home? Why not Kickstart My Heart or Shout at the Devil, not a power ballad that's mostly piano.

[@kevindewaynelowe]

Pinball games always got gimmicks to them. Rarely ever seen one without such.

[@NewportBox100s]

Paid in just cocaine 😂😂😂

[@nitorishogiplayer3465]

Came here after seeing you mention it in that snes pinball video. I didn't know there was more than just "a few levels of pinball" here. Guess I should check this out then.

[@joeyparkhill8751]

A Saturday SNESDRUNK video??? Mindfuck!

[@mrwii5741]

Awsome job on this review! Keep up the good work.

[@Dzumeister]

Is Big Sky Trooper worth playing today?

[@miguelhuerta2774]

The little skull guys with the green hair crawling around everywhere always reminded me of beetlejuice

[@kijijigreg197]

SEGA had NOTHING to do with Crue Ball. This is an Electronic Arts game that was developed and published by them.

[@SNESdrunk]

Yup that's exactly right.

[@SuperHns]

yep I still remember the yellow thing on the card. Was an EA thing back in the day.

[@THEGREATMAX]

@SNES drunk - You know you can shake the pinball table with the D-pad right? I didn't see you do it one time in the video

[@MentalLiberation]

This game's version of Dr feelgood was often used on wrestlecrap radio. Neat!

[@TheRobloxianWarrior97]

I grew up playing this game, Level 7 is my favorite cause of the background and music

[@andrewsegers7942]

Did you make a comprehensive guide to snes pinball games? I would watch that.

[@chigimonky]

"Rockband pinball machines have been around forever" most of the pinball machines you just listed have come out in the last 5 years..

[@saskatoonguy]

Pretty shocking he overlooked the original, KISS Pinball

[@SNESdrunk]

"Shocking?"

[@saskatoonguy]

It is a synonym used in place of "surprising" or "stunning".

[@SNESdrunk]

If you had expectations that I was going to go balls out for research on a video about a Motley Crue pinball game, I feel responsible for that and I apologize

[@callmedavid9696]

SNES drunk I'd like to see you review some pinball machines sometime.

[@TheKrueger1428]

Keeping on the pinball theme, you should review PinBot for NES.

[@SoulforSale]

Plays just like the actual pinball cabinet. A very good video pinball game that pushed the limits of the hardware.

[@TVsMrNeil]

I believe this game was right around the time Vince Neil was getting fired. Odd timing for Crue.

[@C4_84]

I love this game!

[@Metal-Gear-Moogle]

Favorite pinball game

[@gabemewell3643]

Holy shit, another Drunk vid!

[@chuckobscure]

Surprised you didn't metion Kiss Pinball, kind of the quintessential rock band pinball.

[@riggel8804]

Mr snes drunk-what do you think about doing some pc engine reviews? I think they would fit in well with the snes and sega reviews and there are a ton of interesting titles. Definitely more interesting than super Alfred chicken.

[@SNESdrunk]

"Best TG16 games SNES/Sega owners missed out on" will be a video eventually

[@riggel8804]

cool dude. I realize there probabley is less interest in the tg16. I only knew one person growing up who had one. BTW you can play pc engine games on a tg16 with an everdrive (pc engine has about 700 games compared to the tg16 70 games)

[@SNESdrunk]

I also only knew one kid who had one, but he was obsessed with the Bonk games

[@riggel8804]

SNES drunk Yeah i couldn't get into bonk. But i don't care for adventure games much. "legend of hero tonma" is an adventure game on the tg16 that i enjoyed....i remember the tg16 looking advanced and amazing when i first saw it. Now i think its hit and miss. Shinobi still looks amazing but Bonk hasn't aged well.

[@esotericmissionary]

Huh, did every gamer know only one person with a TG16? I ask because I'm in that club, too!

[@PeteWall]

King Arthur's World?

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

Why not?

[@SoulforSale]

I think they designed this game for Kiss and the band declined. Motley Crue wanted a video game and they just slapped their name on this.

[@Pete391]

I always liked this game

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

I'm going with Shout at the Devil for best album.

[@patendo3510]

always dragons fury for me

[@LordShmup]

nice

[@FloppyDisk893]

Why does this game look so similar to "Sonic spinball"? did it use the same engine or Developers???

[@AlienExorcist]

Senic Tha Hedgehug Umm, because pinball? And no...just...no

[@corrado]

Bruh, the Crüe were huge back then. And remained so up until they retired 2 years ago. Radio play means nothing these days. Even then. If a band is selling out arenas world wide, that’s a huge band. You should do a little research next time.

[@SNESdrunk]

Here's the research: Crueball came out in 1992. Vince Neil *left the band* in February of 1992. They hadn't released an album in over 3 years. They were not huge in 1992.

[@cyborgroxx]

@@SNESdrunk but they really were huge in 1992. I don't care what the research says. Cheesy alternative rock didn't start it's full blown take over until the second half of 1993. Vince leaving the band was huge news. Decade Of Decadence was released at the end of 1991. The logo from that compilation album was used on the cover of Crue Ball. EA probably started developing the game in 1991. I get that you might not like their music. I'm assuming you're a 90's rock fan and 90's rock fans tend to be very pompous when it comes to music from the 80's (I don't know why? The 90's were all crappy garage bands), but the Crue honestly were popular in 1992. Even in the beginning of 1993 when Vince released his solo album.

[@davenwatts8173]

Sonic spinball??

[@demonology2629]

There is a code where you can change music during game play 🎸🎼🎶🎵🥁🔊🎧 🤘😜🎭

[@ProjectRedfoot]

Dr. Feelgood would have made a good puzzle/board game

[@KWKBOX]

Did Mike Matei approve this?

[@SNESdrunk]

Who?

[@wolveric0]

SNES drunk Mike Matei is the guy that runs the AVGN channel, i find the comment random, but who am i to judge?

[@sixshooter500]

Why would Mike Matei have to approve what another youtuber does? Does he hold the rights on all reviews of games?

[@gregorypappas766]

KWKBOX Who cares about Mike whatever, this channel is my favorite gaming/retro channel by a mile...

Who cares? I dunno. Maybe 2.4 million subscribers with 1.1 billion views? Maybe them.

[@benoit1335]

devilish on the cheap!

[@joeyparkhill8751]

SNESDRUNK In my opinion the devs should have used the Ramones instead of Motley Crue...

[@segagenesis1989]

Having tunes from the Ramones in a Genesis game would have been excellent!

[@chunky9269]

#KEEPCALMDRINKDUBRAPLAYSNES

[@Megared82]

So, what you're saying is you're not a Motley Crue fan...

[@SkyFellowship]

Lol, mouse cursor visible on the screen. I think this is a pass for me, put the 4 Crush games on my SNES Mini, that’ll do.

[@jamesabernathy5180]

twisted flipper? hahaha i bet dee snider would've been in it.

[@andybrinks8207]

Wonder if Ratt ever got a pin ball game? They were way better than crue!

[@SNESdrunk]

I'd agree with that

[@yyxywiseman7708]

Stop postn lies wen you are obviously drunk as all fuckn hell gurls.

[@darthwalshus2876]

Motley Crue is amazing, but I won’t thumbs down you because I love all of your other videos.

[@Justforvisit]

999 Likes? I'm happy to make it Like #1000 :) And done!

[@LilReikoGold]

Good morning

[@bonesjackson81]

Should have been Uriah Heep Pinball!

[@AnimusInvidious]

it is ok to breathe between sentences occasionally ;)

[@yyxywiseman7708]

You asking why Motley Crue.Because its a better fit than the Bee Geez.wot do you reckon Nancey?

[@cbdzone5182]

This game is why the GENESIS is 🇺🇸😎and the snes is 🏳️‍🌈🤗

[@oxygeninterface]

if only they'd have called it Wham! Ball. would've been so much better, and it makes more sense.

[@AlienExorcist]

oxygeninterface But then the band would've been Wham! and the music would've been downright awful-er...

[@briteboy6131]

i'd sit through Wham! before Motley Crue any day

[@xanafalgue5184]

I don't know ... I had always a strong dislike to this game. The band I don't like too ... so all is "buahh, go away from me" regarding this cardridge. Even its maybe a decent flipper ... dont like the look, dont like the featured band, dont like the typical western developers MD/Genesis soundengine ... japanese MD games sound sweet, but not this audio crap imho ;)

[@Genethagenius]

I’m sure there are some great video pinball games, but personally I prefer to play pinball in real life. You just can’t replicate that feeling. However, with the Nintendo Switch’s “HD Rumble” might actually do a good job of replicating real pinball.

[@Unholy_Louie]

Dude, you really need to start looking at who were the devs and the publishers. Sega had nothing to do with the game nor the endorsement. You're whole segment about endorsements was out of place since it was EA's decision's, not Sega...

[@euvi85]

I was spoiled by the snes sound. I hate the genesis sound chip.

[@galacticwarlock2271]

I absolutely hate the Genesis sound card. It truly is awful, I could never play a genesis game with the volume up.

[@TheBestComicKing]

In my opinion, first 2 album were raw, fast, and the heaviest albums, the next 2 are hit and miss Hair Metal, Dr. Feelgood felt like a good mix of Hair and Heavy Metal, and the rest are garbage trying to do Alt Metal and Industrial.
