Years ago I made a short movie that was a hunk of junk. When I was finished with the editing, I called the main actresses and let them know they could download the video and watch it. One of them was shocked. I asked her why and she said, "I've been in about twenty short movies over the last few years, and only two have been completed." So kudos to this guy for starting and finishing his game. It's much more work than people think.

When James Rolfe in his Nerdsona said “This isn’t a game! This is like some kind of weird college experiment!!” it turns out he was not far from hitting the nail on the head. It was an experiment! A mad experiment put together by some mad scientist during a time when video game developers were being experimental with budding CD technology. Funny how years later the once forgotten legacy of Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties will now be available on far more successful platforms than the 3DO.

"Exploring" has always been one of the most unique series on KZbin. So many channels cover infamous/bad movies and games and it's clear that their "research" consists of reading a Wikipedia article and maybe the first few results they saw on Google, and ultimately viewers are left feeling hollow because they didn't learn anything new. You're one of the few creators that puts effort into actual research about these niche topics, and it's very much appreciated.

It's very obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into your videos and I've learned so much about very obscure media because of you, so thank you for that. By the way, I always had the slightest suspicion that this game was meant to be intentionally bad because some of the dialogue in the game really seemed to be pointing that out and now, because of you, I know that my suspicions were well founded.@@GoodBadFlicks

I fell In love with your normal “GoodBadFlicks” videos first and quickly started looking forward to the “forgotten shows/films” series too but man the effort and amount of research you put into these videos is on another level. As I’m sure many of your subscribers do, I also follow the other main so bad it’s good film reviewers or whatever they consider themselves, but your detail is just on another level. You can’t know just how much I appreciate (and I’m sure others do to) the work and time you put into these. If I’m in a good mood it’s a bonus but the days when I’m really struggling as I’m a navy veteran who became an addict, now over a decade clean, but I still struggle with depression and on the bad days when I watch your videos like this it just totally can flip my mood. So thank you from the bottom of my heart man!

I actually admire Mike, having heard this story. Using his money just to 'experiment', knowing up front he wasn't going to spend enough money to make even a decent game. He knew (or at least figured) he wasn't going to get any kind of reasonable ROI, yet he plowed forward full steam, just for the sake of doing it, and injected crazy, good natured ridiculousness in the process! What a gem.

I wanted a super Nintendo so bad when I was young. One day my dad showed up with a goldstar 3DO system. I was not thrilled, but he was so excited for the new technology. Once we had it set up I was thrilled, I had a new system that even took CDs! I ended up loving that system. They did so many cool things ( like how you could daisy chain the remotes together to get multiple players ) and so many great games. PO'ed, return fire, Wing Commander, and even PDWT. I can remember playing this game so many times just to see every ending possible. I'm sure I was too young to be playing it, but it's seared into my brain. Good times

I love it when people have fun with any media production even if the final product is goofy as heck. In rare cases, the goofy product gets a cult status and that’s how we also got the now legendary official English dub of Ghost Stories. Great video, I had the biggest grin watching the story unfold.

Without experimental projects that fail, we wouldn't have experimental projects that succeed. It deserves to be remembered. It's kind of wild, though, that we're at the point where a KZbin video looking at something from the past can attribute part of that history to another KZbin video.

For some reason I love the rare offshoots of the Exploring series that covers videogames. Furthermore, I love that this was something special to you Cecil and not just a random game to make a video on. Unfortunately I never got to play it and I only learned about it from James AVGN episode. But I miss the time when developers use to experiment like this. The technology just wasn't there yet and developers were at their most ingenuitive in finding ways of jumping a head, resulting in FMV and digitised graphics. Sure they weren't perfect but they definitely had their charm. Looking at today we have consoles as powerful as todays computers and most of the AAA games all look the same, with indie devs being the only experimentals. Thanks for this video Cecil, it was a real treat. The critics absolutely missed the point of this game. It's not the production value that has made this game what it is today. It's the fun and personality that went into this game that makes it so special.

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties looks and feels like a movie you'd see on late night cable back in the 90s but in video game form. I'm sure I'm not the only one who got that vibe.

For almost a decade now, I've been singing, "He's a cat, an evil cat!" whenever the outro music starts. That kickass Uninvited theme has been pervasive in my head for years! Also, I would love to see and Exploring video for Big Trouble in Little China. Just a thought. Cheers from Indy!

I remember years ago, someone put this game on KZbin, to play! Someone just uploaded every scene in a playlist. You just watched the scenes and followed the links at the end, and it would go forward or backward. I spent a few hours playing it on here, and saw what might be my favorite comment under one of the most repeated videos in the playlist: "Is this hell?"

This was a pleasant surprise. I’ve been wanting to play this game since I was a little kid and saw the ad in a magazine (Gamefan or EGM). AVGN’s episode on this game is one of my favorites from his nearly 20 year history. Looking forward to playing this when LRG releases it in 2029 😂

I always love these exploring videos. They're always interesting and I end up finding a new appreciation for things (like this "game"). One of the worst "games" in my mind turned into a silly little project where a bunch of people goofed off and had fun for a little bit.

4:30 Wow, she would have made a pretty good live action Poison from Final Fight/Street Fighter back in the day. With what the finished product was, the backstory of this whole thing makes total sense, lol. They were just winging it, goofing around and that shows.

I couldn't find anything concrete so I didn't put it in the video. HOWEVER, there is a strong resemblance and its very likely that Hollywood's look directly inspired Poison/Roxy.

I'd always wondered about the history of this and it's nice to hear how innocent, fun and simple it actually all is. So used to hearing about behind the scenes drama with "bad" projects and I feel this makes it hard to now think of it as one of the worst games. Time has been kind to it as a quirky novelty.
