"Drake shifts from animation to animation so abruptly, I thought I was having a seizure. Then I realized it was my brain trying to shut down because it couldn't withstand the massive SUCK emanating from this game." -Adam Sessler, The X-Play Review of Drake & The 99 Dragons After all these years, this quote sticks with me as the defining summation of the game's problems.

There's a Doom-esque fantasy game called Hexen and the game it's a sequel to, Heretic, that I remembered strongly because my dad borrowed them from a coworker and played for a few weeks. For the longest time I couldn't remember the names of those games, just that they were similar to Doom and that there was an enemy that looked like a bipedal dog with two heads (turns out it wasn't a dog, but with those graphics that's what I had always assumed they were as a kid), until I started buying Doom clones left and right on Steam and ended up with Heretic.

This was the first video game that Drake was in and it shows. Luckily, Drake would eventually be hired by Blizzard so he could play Reaper by putting a mask on his stupid face. I suppose it pays when you're so angsty, you're trying to be cool, have otherworld powers and can pull unlimited guns out of your pants.

...I... did actually play Gast. I’m Swedish and I played it as a kid. In fact it was even somewhat scary as a kid. An evil clown had stopped a magical carnival ride and turned everything scary. You went around this haunted carnival/mansion and everything was dark some really eerie music and atmosphere. Throughout the journey you will meet several creepy and unnerving characters like a Raven, a giant Venus Flytrap, an anthropomorphic Cat with some major Freddy Krueger claws etc. The most messed up part was you could either help them with issues they had... or you can literally feed them to the others. I used to always bring the Raven with me to the cat, just so the cat could kill him Now this was a children’s game... but it was one hell of a dark one.

Due to a glitch, things outside of Drake's cone of vision don't animate, so as long as you don't look at the boss, it can't hurt you. Clear out the mirror, glance at the boss long enough to lock on to the correct head, turn away from him and keep firing until the head switches. Rinse, repeat. Boss will die in about 35-40 seconds. And, oh yeah, the final levels weren't in the game until about a month before we had to go gold.

You could just feel the lack of confidence in this game.

This is one of the rare instances where something genuinely unpopular stopped getting installments. Because in reality, that’s very uncommon.

Every time I see this Bruce Timm- infused fever dream, I can't help but think of ways to make this work. 2 or 3 more passes in the drafting process and you would've had the bones of a servicable game. A fun exercise for wannabe game devs: Strip apart the game and make well-considered decisions of how you'd make it work as a game and a story.

Ah Loophole and Legend of Tann, the 2 fantasy book series made by Niklas Krog that I absolutely loved when I were a kid. I remember how in a intermission show between cartoons, animes and irl programs on every saturday morning were calling up random kids to tell them what to do in the game based on Loophole. Thx for reawakening some of my most dear childhood memories Matt.

Gast is a game I haven’t thought about in a long long time. When I was young I wanted a computer for my room, but I could only have one if I built my own. So using my dads spare parts, I made myself a machine that ran windows 95 (this was a time when the pentium 3 was our most powerful machine) Gast was the only game that ran on this machine. I think it was in French and I never got very far. Might have been puzzle adventure game? Had a cute little ghost as the main character and cartoony horror style that I liked. How we acquired the game? I’ve no idea. My guess is we got it in a bunch of review copies for my dad to write about. I don’t think we had a box or even proper jewel case for it.

3:12 I've heard about that franchise, in another episode of "What happened?" (Altough it was more of a "What's happening?"). I'm still surprised that this has sold more than Metroid or Devil May Cry, and only slightly less than the main Megaman games.
