There's no link in the description to the Sonic Blast Man 2 video.

[@distractedFreek]

Looks like the subtitles for SimEarth played twice, once during its segment and then again over Dylan's segment.

[@Richforce1]

The arcade version of Sonic Blast Man had to be recalled once because they didn't put enough padding on the target and people were literally breaking their hands punching this thing.

[@SPONGEBOB20]

Reminds me of that Fist of the North Star arcade game where you had 6 pads that would fly out and you would punch to win the levels. So much fun but gave me bloody knuckles lol

[@kodybuffettwilson]

Didn't the original Street Fighter use punch-activated buttons as well?

[@apollolux]

@@kodybuffettwilson Pressure-sensitive buttons like current gen controllers, but it probably was a smaller version of similar technology back then anyways.

[@tonberrymasta]

@@kodybuffettwilson Yep! They had to take those out for the same reason, too many broken cabinets.

[@TyphinHoofbun]

​@@SPONGEBOB20 They're supposed to have padded gloves, but almost every cabinet had then ripped off by people. I had sore arms/chest for days after I played it. Only got to play it once. ^.^

[@sintalius]

This is genuinely my favourite KZbin show right now.

[@EvanAdvent]

Of all the clips from the old Sonic Blast Man video, you went for the part where you dressed like a dork. This is why we love you Jared.

[@liamarkenan]

Weird, I didn’t see Jared. I only saw the great hero, Embarrassed

[@jaxonterrace8263]

I love how each episode gives Dylan more and more lines and he never wastes any of them

[@yinepuiwhite3955]

I'll be one of the three people to say I LOVED SimEarth! It was fascinating to me to see how I could make the world evolve differently depending on circumstances and developed a fascination for me. When I'm doing worldbuilding for writing projects, I usually try to make the setting's world in SimEarth and see how it turns out and how life might be like there. Definitely not a game for everyone but I still boot it up to this day.

[@riemaennchen]

I watched every episode of Darkwing Duck as a kid. Multiple times over. I still know all the main villains from this show.^^

[@db_524]

I’ve watched a few episodes of it myself, great show. The theme song still slaps.

[@ShnarfKat]

Loved it as a kid. That and duck tales. My jams

[@RedTabletTalk]

It’s Dark Wang Duck kids!

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Taurus Bulba is such an amazing villain, and they barely used him.

[@garou119]

Thise Capcom/Disney collabs were so awesome, the goof troop game deserves more recognition

[@gfmol845]

Word.

[@TBaker-xu5is]

Wait until July... The game for the SNES didn't come out until July of the year, so if it really was 1993 - the game hadn't come out yet.

[@CronosVids]

The Goof Troop game is one of my favourite snes games.

[@staticfanatic]

GÜF TRÜP

[@thunderwarriorprods]

It’s my bday and I love that it lined up with this specific episode of Now In The 90s! 😅

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

Loved DWD on NES, and Jared, never stop this show, and Dilan ? u rock man, and the music is so so so good, keep it up boys, much love on this great series.

[@skulldaisygimp]

The music they use is fantastic, and I just love the two presentation styles and asides they both take. Honestly, this is in the running for my favorite gaming-history-KZbin-show-format.

[@Marc_Araujo]

Mighty Max is an underrated cartoon that no one ever talks about. It was awesome watching 1 and 1/2 episodes before leaving to go to school every day as a kid.

[@whosaidthat84]

The toyline was Freakin awesome. Some of my favorites growing up.

[@Marc_Araujo]

@coldsnap5742 You mean the time loop gimmick? I didn't think it was that bad...Futurama kinda did it too.

[@Marc_Araujo]

@coldsnap5742 Neither was Mighty Max...it was a cartoon based on a very niche toyline.

[@Marc_Araujo]

@coldsnap5742 It was a show targeted at little kids and Norman was the most popular character. They weren't going to just kill him and Virgil off and not have it end with them being ok in the end. I mean they weren't going to pull a Transformers: The Movie. Also, it didn't run for that long (2 seasons I think) so once the writers knew the show was canceled, they played it safe with that ending...still a better ending than Game of Thrones.

[@KairuHakubi]

@@Marc_Araujo in fact they were forced to do this. back then, syndication was THE way to make money, and everyone was worried if a show needed to be watched in order that it was no good for syndicating. So if they wanted a finale or continuity, they had to bite and claw to get it, and concessions were made.

[@mstiefan6996]

The Darkwing Duck cartoon was a great show. And it became even more awesome when you realized it was part of the same universe as DuckTales first with Launchpad McQuack being a main character, and then when Gizmoduck appeared, acting like the Superman to Darkwing's Batman, and how they ended up making their own version of the Justice League with the Justice DUCKS.

[@Mechasonicrocks]

Actually, the creator of DW always went on record that the OG 1987 Ducktales and his show aren't in a shared universe. The "shared universe" idea wouldn't exist until the surprisingly stellar 2017 reboot of Ducktales, albeit Darkwing Duck itself starts off in the reboot as an in-universe television show that (although cancelled long before the beginning of the 2017 reboot's story) Launchpad is still a huge fan of. However, it soon evolves into something MUCH cooler....

[@noahmichael2213]

I had darkwing duck on Gameboy and loved it. Took it with me on our family vacation that summer.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

Fun fact: one of my college professors used the PC version of SimEarth to teach environmental science.

[@albert_vds]

Dark Wing Duck for the NES was one of the games we rented. It's got the great Capcom style and gameplay. Managed to beat it over the week we rented it, which was not easy.

[@skulldaisygimp]

Good week for the Game Boy! I'm still mystified even all these years later how much they managed to squeeze out of that beautiful battery-munching brick of awesome.

[@thecunninlynguist]

That darkwing game rules...both gb and NES. My friend let me borrow the GB one. I'm still quite perplexed Capcom never released the Disney afternoon collection on switch...when those games were NES games.

[@stulog]

I didn't even know that collection even existed until I watched this video

[@Coolman13355]

Seriously where's the Switch port?

[@mEsTiR5679]

okay, this unlocked a childhood memory i forgot i had: Shanghai 2 was a game i had as a kid. My dad bought pretty much all my games from a pawn shop (single dad life w/ 3kids, yknow?) and that ended up being one of them. it was painful. I rented Sim Earth at some point, thought it wasn't as bad.

[@lazybacon7520]

"Sonic Blast Man is this week's biggest value gainer!" > "Editor's Note: Not actually the biggest value gainer this week" DISSENSION!!!

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

You know what I found out somewhat recently? Sonic Blast Man - just the actual name - scared Sega for a lil' bit back in the '90s. Because it was from Taito, a well-respected studio themselves with _some_ cache in the gaming world to put it lightly (still riding that fame from creating Space Invaders and all), them having the word "Sonic" in THEIR game title made Sega think they could block them trademarking the name "Sonic" the Hedgehog. So to avoid conflicting with it, they changed it. THAT'S why a few obscure arcade games from the time had them awkwardly branding the blue blur as "SegaSonic" - like the infamous, difficult-to-emulate isometric arcade game "SegaSonic the Hedgehog" as well as SegaSonic's Popcorn Shop, an... arcade... popcorn machine.... _thingie._

[@magus2342]

Always great to see an episode drop, even if it has only games I never heard of, even back then.

[@MCastleberry1980]

I spent an insane amount of time with the PC version of Sim Earth. Half of that instruction manual was a condensed explanation of Gaia Theory lol Also hard same on Mahjong being something ill never understand in the Yakuza games

[@Gatorade69]

You can think of it kind of like poker and your trying to make hands... However there's just way too many different sets and the scoring is weird. That's where I get confused.

[@DanielFerreira-ez8qd]

The yakuza games almost always have cheat items that you can use, which at least helps stubborn people like me.

[@TrueLooneyman]

And apparently the Sonic Blast Man Arcade Cabinet had to be recalled from its initial run, because the thing you punched was so rock solid people broke their hands. They had to re-design it to make it more punch-friendly

[@XtremeDragon03]

I feel editor Dylan so much about never completing a Yakuza game a 100% :D I watched a video about the rules for majong and said to myself well of to the next game xD

[@flyingskysub4560]

love how we're a month and a half into 1993, and most of the title screens still say 1992

[@BuenDude]

I spent way too long playing simearth and seeing what kind of crazy shit would happen. I remember Dinosaurs evolved enough to be sentient

[@NinjaStevE21]

I loved Sim Earth on PC as a kid and also had no idea what I was doing. And I had Shanghai II on the Sega Genesis also, but I couldn't remember the name of it. This video brought me back in time, thank you so much for the upload! Keep up the great work!

[@A.S.Bridges]

Gosh I LOVE this show ! Keep crushing it guys!

[@PluckyInc]

trivia, a portion of the Darkwing Duck credits music was eventually repurposed for Proto Man's shop theme in Mega Man 10.

[@CrappyCar]

Speaking of tiny things, thanks for bringing Micro Machines back into my head. I guess we missed the first game (1991) and will have to wait a year for the second game. Cheers!

[@LanEXHikari]

Let's get dangerous! Those games were really fun and polished for a licensed title. Thanks for the video!

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

Love this series! I hope someone makes a spinoff for 80's games and PC games in the future. Lots of gaming goodness that might otherwise be lost to time.

[@CronosVids]

At the start of this show I saw Dylan as an extra bit of info, but by now I think deserves some actual screen time. The face behind the voice of segway gold.

[@Outlaw88]

Darkwing Duck was an awesome game. It still holds up really well too.

[@Bananahammock681]

After last night's stream... I want one episode of this where Jared sings the show's theme himself.

[@ThorupWilliam]

Hey, I believe the voice over for the Dark Wing Duck commercial at 2:23 is the same guy who did the narrator for the Space Quest games. Neat!

[@SkippD]

"You can duck" ha! Always loved your Sonic blasting video.

[@jacobpope9269]

Love ya, Jerd!

[@LedZeppo32]

I loved Darkwing Duck on the GB. It was given to me as a gift by my dad. Still have the game, and instruction manual. I even played through it last year. Fun game

GLOC is where the pressure of G force causing you to lose consciousness, so GLOC would be correct.

", TO-DAY.!" Yes Now in the 90's!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday!! Always a fun as hell way to start the weekend.

[@MentalLiberation]

Sonic blast man the arcade game was the reason or a reason why the game SegaSonic The Hedgehog had that title in the first place. In an attempt to try and sidestep any copyright or trademark issues with Taito, Sega went with that title as Sega didn't have any Sonic titles in arcades until after Sonic blast man. If you know how complex and volatile copyright and trademark laws are in Japan, you know why they had to make the change. Interesting stuff.

[@Tayne195]

Dylan, don't be ashamed of having Polly Pocket toys - I did too. Mighty Max needed a damsel in distress to save!

[@tylerhughes9090]

Wow cool 2 see what came out when l was out on my birthday 30 years ago !

[@jasonulloa]

I got a shoutout today! YAY!!! I remember trying to play SimEarth as a kid, both on SNES and on PC. I loved SimCity and wanted to give it a shot, but I just couldn't figure it out. Pelting the planet with asteroids was a little fun, though. I also tried SimAnt and SimFarm, but just couldn't get into them. It wasn't until SimCity 2000 and SimTower that Maxis put out games that I enjoyed.

[@Wolfburns]

Harley's Humongous Adventure is one of my childhood favorites. I remember renting that for weeks trying to beat it but never did. Now I have a new adult goal haha. Hope the channel keeps growing!

[@LynceusGlaciermaw]

The PC version of Simearth was quite powerful. Literally simulating the conditions of a planet’s formation, to basic life, to complex life, sentient species, wars, global warming, environmental disasters, and finally the sentient species leaving the planet entirely by turning entire cities into ships and launching them into space. It was pretty impressive when you knew what you were doing and what you were seeing.

[@evillecaston]

Finally, an arcade game where I can D-punch everything as hard as I can in first person!

[@camendiv]

When there's trouble you call DW~ This series has me recalling things I thought I had forgotten forever.

[@Boothenson]

Harleys humongous adventure was one of my favorite games as a kid because i loved the concept. I bought it once I got my first job as an adult and it made me realize how thick nostalgia glasses can be.

[@kevinanderson2135]

I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the classic Capcom hit, I am darkwing dark.

[@thecodemachine]

I liked Sim Earth, I used to make Sentient Carnivorous Plants rule the world.

[@jayden6538]

Even though it was recalled, the arcade version of Sonic Blast Man was still successful enough to get two sequels. Real Puncher was released in 1994. It had a unique feature where you could take a picture of your own face and punch it in the game. Real Puncher 2 was released in 2010.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Yasuaki Fujita aka Bun Bun actually didn't compose the soundtrack for Mega Man 4 at all. In an interview, he explained that he only had a supervisor's role on that project, and that the whole soundtrack was actually composed by Minae Fuji aka Ojalin (the other person credited).

[@tv_tim]

I remember playing the NES Darkwing Duck game as a kid, and absolutely sucking at it. I don't think I ever beat a single level of it, but I kept trying because I loved the series as a kid. I was only like 5 or so when I played it, so I might not have know WTF I was doing.

[@renatocorvaro6924]

[@necogreendragon]

I remember when PC games had thick manuals. Microsoft Flight Simulator had a huge book. I remember a few rpgs had thick books too.

[@snootynerd4293]

The Bowling Ally in my hometown used to have the arcade version of Sonic Blast Man 2. As a kid, I could never get past the first stage. I need to find that machine again, as a grown ass man with a score to settle! ...a score with a digital gambler than I lost a bet to when I was 13...

[@FellowHuman137]

Great, now you've reminded me of mighty max and the horrifically sad final episode of the cartoon series. Here comes childhood trauma again :(

[@Mr._Sandman]

very funny you used the FOX39 commercial, I grew up watching that station religiously

[@marscaleb]

I remember enjoying Haley's Humungous Adventure back in the day. I loved the idea that all the levels were just these common areas from a house, and all the weapons were just these tiny tools and items like paper clips and thumbtacks. Plus, you could get a jetpack! I rented it and spent a week trying to get as far as I could but I never beat it. That said, it turns out to be one of those games that isn't quite as much fun when I played it again as adult. Still, I love the theme. Any game where there's a lego level is a win in my book.

[@TheOtakuNinja69]

DarkWing Duck was one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid.

[@razzberrysoda89]

Thanks for my weekly reminder that it's Friday

[@Norrikan]

I played that Darkwing Duck game to absolute exhaustion. Partly because it was a good game, but also because my family was stuck at an airport for like two days and I managed to hog an outlet.

[@AldorasDeranor]

[@TheRealCheesemaker]

5:42 I'm convinced this is the reason why soccer manager-games get high scores too.

[@CloudDany]

My brother and I rented Sim Earth multiple times, not because we knew wth was going on in the game but because we loved the music, we just put that cartridge, start a new game and chill with the vibes while doing something else.

[@matttyree1002]

Sim Earth on PC was one of my favorites. I was just a kid, so mostly I just caused disasters and stuff, but I did eventually figure out how to terraform Venus, which was the highest difficulty scenario.

[@mattnordsell9760]

Big Ole Words just did a video where he talked about the way that Darkwing Duck and other games on the NES were really the gameboy games essentially with just a little bit of changes.

[@Mito383]

Sonic Blast Man 2 was one of my favorite beat ‘em ups on the SNES. Haven’t played the first one though.

[@doomspud6302]

I remember trying to figure out the DOS version of Sim Earth as a kid. I never could. All I ever managed to do was to either accidentally make the the atmosphere evaporate into space, or turn the whole planet into a volcanic wasteland. So, just like Sim City, I usually just dropped asteroids on premade planets for a bit, then found something else to do. Maybe if 5 year old me had actually had the attention span to read that encyclopedia of a manual, I could have been a loving and nurturing god, instead of a bored and vengeful god. Oh well...

[@CSLucasEpic]

Darkwing Duck was so similar to Megaman that I remember playing a bootleg version of the game where they changed the in game sprites of DW with the Blue Bomber's.

[@shannonwilliams7249]

Best show on KZbin right here.

[@Spenceanattor]

Harleys humongous adventure! I remember renting that game growing up! I agree with Dylan the being shrunk down thing was a huge craze in 90's media that time has forgot.

[@cursedex80]

Man, I loved Darkwing Duck so much. The early 90's was the perfect time when Disney had yet to fuck up their animation division (and later everything else), and Capcom had yet to fuck up with oversaturation, their Western approach, and having everything be Resident Evil; so it resulted in some really magical tie in games.

[@SEESBoy-hy8jz]

Goated series, we love you Jared💕🧡

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Ah man, it's been a hot minute since we've seen Embarrassed. Some say that he's still fighting for freedom to this very day. Also, TaleSpin is basically Jungle Book meets Crimson Skies. Which kinda sounds like some Kingdom Hearts gubbins. As for Dylan's Mighty Max toys, I actually had a custom-made Thunderbirds-themed Mighty Max/Polly Pocket way back in the day. Thanks Mum!

[@crimsonharvest]

As a kid I did manage to get my SimEarth creatures to evolve spaceflight and leave the Earth... and then there was nothing sapient left. Anything that evolved to become intelligent at that point would instantly evacuate the planet instead of multiplying to fill it. Weird game.

[@nisetsu]

The Disney Afternoon Collection version of Darkwing Duck is superb. Technically flawless and lets you rewind at any time. My only complaint is that you can't make multiple savestates.

[@trident042]

Jared you're nowhere near alone. I was a SimCity 2000 fan on my first computer, it ran like garbage but I loved the micromanagement and cheat codes. But when I rented SimEarth on the SNES because I could use its mouse, I found out why I hate renting games with no manual present. Heck that mess. It did nothing to help you learn the game.

[@Garrth415]

Oh man I remember renting Harley's Humongous adventure as a kid. Definitely one of those basic bitch jank platformers of the era
