If you listen really carefully you can clearly hear my 3DO loading like the beast it is anytime I open a door or a cutscene happens. It was sitting a fair distance away too in front of the TV.

[@christopherb.5797]

Fast gameplay

[@RichterVonFuchs]

until I saw this comment I was under the impression the game was named PeteDorr and it was being ran by Doctor Hauzer. Not sure how I misread the title so badly.

[@sphealingit222]

Now I'm curious, what's the loudest console you've had to deal with? the worst I've heard was the Dreamcast and my old PS3 sounding like it's ready for takeoff

This game needs an all-deaths run.

[@Jaspertine]

The great thing about dramatic musical stings is that they can never be overused. They're always effective, no matter how many times per minute you drop them in.

[@Ohflipsnap]

What about dropping them in however many times *per frame?*

[@Soulraven2735]

@@Ohflipsnap So that's what Virtual Hydlide needed

[@olliefischer]

the first survival horror soundtrack made entirely of dramatic musical stings

[@benjaminlein7687]

There was some definite love and attention put into this: those lovely door transitions, for instance, are appropriate. If it opens towards you entering a room, it opens away when you go the opposite direction. Speaking of door transitions, I love that the wardrobe is capable of preventing you from opening the door but the door itself opens away from you.

[@latrodectusmactans7592]

This runs at a breezy 120 frames per minute.

[@q3kq3k]

more frame perfect inputs than a TAS

[@chaddoesthings6298]

this game has frames?

[@TheMamaluigi300]

Chad Does Things No,

[@miltonwhatever]

Man 1994 was weird... we had SO MANY amazing 16-bit games, but me and my friends we would dream about playing games like this one because we saw a cool screenshot in a magazine once... Oh, how innocent we were.

[@rofljohn23]

With frame rates like this, it’ll be easy to get juuuust the right screenshot for your article :D

[@TheVeryHungrySingularity]

How do you put a boulder in a hallway that is larger than any of the doors? It'd have to be lowered from a removed roof. That's some god tier dedication to traps.

[@kamonskye240]

No no, it wasn't brought in as a boulder. Clearly Doctor Hauzer brought a bunch of dirt into the mansion and packed it all together into one big ball lol

[@MJFallout]

Concrete is your friend, friend, it's basically Instant Boulder: just add water, shape it, let dry, perfection

[@caliban5505]

Don’t question Doctor Hauser’s methods

[@MystLgnd]

Doctor Hauzer just ordered a magic boulder, put the package content on the floor, then one water drop and hop you get a giant boulder in the hallway 😋

[@BioYuGi]

Shotgun to break open glass, when you'd just used a crowbar to pull open some planks, haha. Must be tough glass.

[@burntartic2239]

As a resident evil fan, I feel like it is now my duty to try this game out

[@chrissre7935]

I love survival horror games. Even finished bad ones like OverBlood but this .. I will skip this

[@Markworth]

For 1994, it's actually a decent looking game. If it could actually run decently, it'd be alright.

[@hokostudios]

This was quite the excellent transition from Awful Block to Horror Block! Wish I could have watched it live, but alas, I had to tap out a little early.

[@Powered1Buttercup]

I died at that "WHAT?!" from the dude showing the boulder in the hallway lmao

[@WanderingMindSR]

This... sure was a game!

[@CommonApathy]

Absolutely loved him taking some time to show off the weirder glitches!

[@TheFlipside]

Obviously the game devs put so much effort into their animations they wanted to make sure the player got to truly experience and enjoy every last frame

[@boheyo]

Sometimes the nicest thing you can say about a game is that at least it's not Virtual Hydlide.

[@ReySilverskin]

This is, like, old-school Runescape graphics. It kinda has a charm to it, though.

[@marcelo90z]

To be honest, I quite liked the idea of Dr Hauzer. It's a survival horror game, with puzzles to solve and I don't think the story is half bad for what it is. For a game that came in 1996, this could have been a decent game, but the execution was poor. Some bad games makes us wonder "What the hell were they thinking", but this game is just a fine idea that got executed poorly. Instead of the gaming looking like serious, it turns out to have a cryptic gameplay, slow paced movement and the animations are wacky.

[@marcosvander2479]

Oh wow, I didn't know AGDQ was doing PowerPoint presentations!

[@keoki_kemp]

Amazing run. Runner was a blast to listen to.

[@sajtjakab]

holy shit I remember playing this as a kid...

[@Count_Vampz]

You know, I'd like to see a remake of this. Good concept but poor execution, some of that would have been the tech at the time. Instead of remaking a good game into an average game, take a bad game and make it better

[@rasmusdegn9690]

21:12 Nice to see that the Mighty Number 9 trailer was not Pizza-Explosion's first appearance in the world of video games.

[@richardjoyce2764]

"Decided to put an Indiana jones style boulder in the hallway..." Random guy in the back: "WHAT!"

[@mauruhkatigaming4807]

Imagine if there were a Hydlide/Doctor Hauzer crossover. Imagine Jimothy the Knight running through these choppy halls. The first video game playable on a ViewMaster.

[@giwake]

That game over screen. GAME

[@richardjoyce2764]

The laughter that ensues in the background during this run, especially at the beginning, could possibly make this the best video game ever made! I am surprised I did not see people falling out of their chair 10/10

[@Ridgwaycer]

You know, at least you can say the door transition animations have a decent framerate.

[@gogosegaga]

What do you mean? Are you seriously expecting 60fps?! It’s a game from 1994 and very early 3D

[@neoqwerty]

@@gogosegaga Descent, 1994, fully 3D (and actually having the ability to go up and down and tilts your view when you strafe) FPS though it does use some billboarding on powerups and explosion graphics. Enemy ships are small but actually full 3D too, and fragment into small 3D chunks that move through 3D space. If you're willing to accept billboarding, Magic Carpet is a free-range FPS ALSO from 1994 with rudimentary hilly terrain, building structures and billboarded humans. Where it suffers is that it's on the 3DO, which was quite honestly a garbage console for 3D (from what I've found IT HAS NO CACHE!!!). It's an FMV machine and it SHOWS. Some upgrades were planned to give it extra oomph (the M2 and MX chipsets) but the M2 was pulled and the MX failed when a 1998 team-up with nintendo also failed.

[@chrissre7935]

Game designer's ideas. Let's take the best parts of Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark. What did people love about those games? Tank Controls and Fixed camera angles. 10/10

[@papanugget2368]

Yeah, he ran Urban Yeti at some past GDQ event didn't he? Awesome guy

[@dansamolewicz3462]

Neat game for 1994

[@neoqwerty]

I thought this was a Alone In The Dark speedrun from the thumbnail alone.

[@Turmio1]

More 3DO! There are some gems for the system too like Return Fire. And it's enjoyable to see these not so great games as well.

[@Maverick-65]

TGBS LET'S GOOOOO!

[@Iankameel]

Back in the day this would have been mind blowing the graphics are better than alone in the dark

[@wulfazwlkwos9019]

Extremely ambitious for its time. No wonder it is cumbersome and has some hillarious scenes. If it had had better speed, it could have easily been a game from 1998. Nice!

[@llloyd4]

This looks like a game dev had Resident Evil described to him verbally and he tried to recreate it strictly from that. O.o

[@Sakkeru96]

It's like a weird blend of "Alone In The Dark", "The Nameless Game", "Hotel Dusk" and "Again". I almost kinda wanna play it, but I think I'll enjoy it more from afar. Neat game and run!

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

How does it rival virtual hydlide I didn't think that was possible

[@JoelHernandez-tz3vk]

3DO vs Saturn.

[@SymboliNegative]

The only game that could surpass Virtual Hydlide in any way

[@he_was_a_skater_dog]

3DO was kind of a neat console though. Best console I've had after PSX and PS4.

[@CryoKonk]

Frame rate aside, this actually seems like a cool game ngl

[@valletas]

Even the main menu looks like its dropping frames

[@youngtoonfish6891]

Love me a good 60spf

[@AtmaDragoon]

14:51 - You mean, other than against the controls, I imagine? :P

[@TheMamaluigi300]

Yeah, I don’t think there’s any other fighting in the game. I mean after all, Adams is a journal, not a detective or task force member or officer

[@DJVResumenes]

20:58 - ok thats creepy

[@katsenberg3036]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this one of, if not, the, first fully 3D console game? That alone makes it impressive, but then considering the unique genre and fact that it's on inferior hardware (compared to the then 3D capable PS1 and Sega Saturn)

[@OrionAltHist]

There were quite a few other 3D console titles by that point, anyway, e.g. 1993's Star Fox, and probably others on the 3DO.

[@TheOkamiT]

My god, the faces are worse than CDi Zelda

[@dissapointing6088]

[@camwyn256]

Seeing that this run is quite shorter than Virtual Hydlide, I thought this game's frame rate wouldn't be as bad. Oh my. No. This is much worse

[@enzito_sdf6978]

that's kinda cool. i mean it could've been on pc and run a lot nicer, but oh well

[@t0ad]

first?

[@IncoherentMoron]

i looked the game up and the folks who made this went on to make Overblood for the PS1 and, yeah, that tracks

[@goldenwolfmidna9321]

We saw about 4696 frames this whole run. Something to think about.
