G-Nome: The Forgotten 90s Mech Game

[@00CrazyVampireCow00]

My dad had a copy of this game. When my sister and I were young, for some reason, we got obsessed with it. All we would do was get in multiplayer and blow each other up. To the point where we'd rush home from school just to fire it up and play for hours. We even both took the cd and ripped off the music. So I just wanted to say thank you 7th Level for some great childhood memories, this game will always have a special place in my heart.

[@rocclimbing8123]

A year late but I want to say that it was the same story for my family. My dad would play and he would only pilot the HAWC while my brother and i would press 1-4 to fire off all the ammunition. Also same thing about ripping the music! Hearing the 'Passenger' track come on was always a delight.

[@spyrelle3970]

There's no shame in taking something if you do it better.

[@Peter_Morris]

You guys are forgetting Metal Warriors on the SNES, and probably something before that. And Titanfall is more like Shogo than this.

[@spyrelle3970]

@@Peter_Morris I'm well aware of Metal Warriors and Shogo, you're correct. My point still stands that Titanfall is derivitive, but it set out to do what those games did and it did it better.

[@Peter_Morris]

Yeah I remember thinking the same thing when I first saw it. I recently played through Titanfall 2 again and although it’s extremely competent, it seems like it still has s lit of potential that could be unlocked.

LGR, you might not believe this, but I still have a copy of this game (loose, it came with our old win95 Packard Bell PC), and whats more, I STILL PLAY IT. I still find it fun, especially since, unlike the more modern mech games, this 1 actually has tanks and hover vehicles that are almost at a level with the mechs. I also like that you can shoot off individual parts, such as gun barrels, and how you can change your IFF to match the enemy's, infiltrate their base, and then blow the crap out of it. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR REVIEWING THIS FORGOTTEN CLASSIC!!!!!

[@rocclimbing8123]

It's a game I play through once every few years. Some of the levels on hard difficult actually give you a run for your money. Citadel is damn near impossible.

[@delrachdubal]

That's when I first played it when I got my Packard bell pc, 233 mhz with an Intel processor with mmx technology. Crazy game for crazy times, one I will never forget. Ironically at my game store dominion storm over gift 3 appeared for $3 complete, it supports 1024p which is insane for that time

[@AstanaxKnight]

I got our copy of G-Nome along with our Packard Bell PC as well, alongside Howie Mandel's Playhouse and other games in 1997 when I was 13. I still recall how one could do a cheat to listen to voice work outtakes/gags, like a Pee Wee Herman and Scottish impersonation.

[@diegotlamantli]

I got it with a packard bell too! It came along with Encarta 98, Howie's Fun House and G-Nome

[@CoreyDWillis]

Same, but it was my grandparent's Packard Bell PC. That's probably how most people found this game. 🤣

[@TheExaminedLifeofGaming]

This is basically my favorite game of all time. Not kidding.

[@nobita3378]

My childhood game,of course on my list favorite

[@KLUSTERIZER]

Nostalgia is the major factor at play of course. I remember it fondly as well. But does it hold a candle to modern games? Of course not, even if it did have some amazing pioneering concepts.

[@Alexanderzzzzon]

THIS was my childhood. As a 10year old I spend a lot of times playing this. Mind you I am born in Sweden and didn't not even understand half of what I was supposed to do. Still thought the game was fantastic!

[@RSProduxx]

well, i played it alot...but nothing beats Earth Siege... except for Mech Warrior itself... :)

[@AmericanBadger87]

[@paranoiasavedthecat]

I... I have a copy of G-nome. That feeling with Clint doesn't know you and never will.

[@BlueBoxRevan]

I have a copy but not the disc. No music ☹️ just gameplay

[@W0lfenstrike]

Ejecting from your mech to battle along side it in first person view? Damn! This was waaaay ahead of Titanfall ! Or SHOGO if you're feeling retro. Also, no wonder they added jetpacks to Titanfall, it would be boring as heck to walk around without your mech!

[@drugon]

It was in MWLL actually way before Titanfall. But yeah - G-NOME came out earlier anyway. Still there were Front Mission: Gun Hazard and Metal Warriors even before it.

[@MongooseTacticool]

God, Shogo! Thank you. That's the game that's been bugging my brain for ages but I didn't know the name of. Very enjoyable multiplayer.

[@Painang89]

How about Shogo

[@AstanaxKnight]

You could eject from your mech to do battle in first person view. However, the "HAWC" would stop dead and there was no way to fire the guns from it remotely. Then I had those Darken troops steal my HAWC on occasion. I was only fourteen or fifteen at the time I last played it.

[@jabelsjabels]

Man, I played the crap out of this at my friend's place when I was a kid! Never knew what the plot was though. I always thought that getting out of the mech was super bad though, cause I always got stepped on. Have you tried to exit the boundary of a level? It'll blow you up with an ion cannon!

[@rbrtkayser]

I know this is an old comment but I played this as a kid and I also couldn't figure out what the plot was. I usually just ran around ejecting people then stomping on them.

[@janchlupacek]

And wished you a nice day 😂

[@jojothejanitor2134]

"Ion Cannon ready. Have a nice day. :3" *BOOM!"

[@torry2]

As a kid i could not grasp the controls of this game but i loved looking at the mechs and hearing the computer lady announce the names of everything and telling you that you were gonna get annihilated by the ion cannon

[@huhabab]

Back in 1999 a friend of my mother was visiting us and saw me in front of my PC with a free Magazine version of G-Nome on the desk. She then described her absolute hatred of the game because her husband played "this shit" like a maniac for weeks until she finally broke the CD in half. I was intrigued and installed it immediately. His dedication to this game astounded me, uninstalled it a couple of hours later. Dunno know why I'm writing this....

[@TorchicNidoran1994]

This game was what got me into mechs. It deserves a remaster and I want to find people who still play it on-line

[@Volgrus]

Oh my god, thank you so much for going through this. I was wondering when you were going to cover it, this is one of those games that I played when I was so young that I have nothing but nostalgic memories floating in my head about it. Like, I was too young to fully comprehend the actual game mechanics, so I would just run around and hit buttons. But, that opening is so iconic to me, I was instantly awash it nostalgic emotions as soon as I heard it. Anyway, sorry for rambling, love the channel been a subscriber for a long, long time. Keep reviewing these old forgotten gems!

[@alejandrofierro1961]

My dad got a free copy of this when he bought the family computer back when I was around 4-5 years old. I could never make it past the first few levels, but I loved the game regardless. Was definitely surprised to see it pop up on my KZbin feed! Awesome review as usual LGR

[@WraxTV]

My first PC came with a loose copy, so this was, technically, the first PC game I ever owned. Better than Solitaire any day of the week.

@@SentTwoKill The PC I got that came with this game I believe was a Packard Bell Multimedia m415 with 166 mhz and 24 megs of ram and MMX TECHNOLOGY. Got it at Computer City which later became CompUSA. It made this annoying scratching/grinding sound sometimes that I assumed was a hallmark of Packard Bell PCs.

[@matthewgiven3396]

Thank you! I asked for this last year on your Facebook page on the grounds that it came with my family's first Pc as a pack in and I have never met anyone else who played it and yet it is still one of my favorite games. Thanks, so good to see this reviewed by someone. Pure Nostalgic bliss.

[@steelerfaninperu]

This game was bundled with my family's first PC, a Packard Bell 233mhz with MMX, note the MMX sticker on this box. I think 7th Level might have had a deal there to have OEM PCs carry the game. I remember it sucking but it would be the reason I'd go on to play all kinds of mech games.

[@Schmidt54]

I remember G-NOME, in fact I still have it. I never managed to come far because it is a hard game in my book. But what a cool concept, and the mechs are really cool and different! The feature to run around as infantry and highjacking mechs and stuff, I thought it was really cool at the time, I remember playing the demo (!!) for hours. Pre-internet days, you were dark yet full of fun. :D

[@DG-er1wt]

This game came with a computer we bought when I was 10 years old. I played it a LOT and fell in love with so many of the mechs. These days, I don't really do big robots at all, so it was such an odd feeling seeing this all again. Cool video.

[@loganjorgensen]

I think it's a missed opportunity, instead of G-Nome they should have called it Gnome, imagine those little dudes having mech combat. That wouldn't have blended into the background of the genre.

[@jld208]

I have fond memories of playing this when I'd visit my aunt. It came bundled with her Packard Bell and I've still got the disc around here somewhere.

[@MobyTheDuck]

Hey Clint, did you ever thought of doing a Deus review (not Deus Ex, just plain Deus). It was a Windows 95 FPS with a reaaaaaaaly complex health system, where you could damage and even lose body parts. You could say it was the ancestor to all these early access survival games. I think it was the sequel to Robinson's Requiem.

[@vovapsix]

You should check out Metal Fatigue, Submarine Titans and BattleZone 2. All three are underrated 90s games that blew my mind as a kid. Metal Fatigue is a strategy game with mechs and unique mech and map mechanics. Submarine Titans is basically underwater Star Craft, it has a decent campaign and unique mechanics that separates it from SC. BattleZone 2 is an FPS/Strategy game, where you can construct bases, build armies and control them from a single unit's cockpit or from above with a classical strategy camera view (there is a remastered version btw).

[@Bebopopotamus]

Man, I spend hours and days on this game. I loved it when I was a kid.

[@MattNadareski]

This was the first mech game that I had as a kid... I absolutely HATED when you went out of bounds the orbital ion cannon would be called in on you, even if you got stuck or something... Needless to say, I cheated a lot to even see the ending.

[@sofemon3821]

*and when the autoeject clipps the camera into the terrain so you watch yourself hopelessly run in circles as a enemy HAWK spots you and misses every shot*

[@duomaxwell6523]

"Warning. Approaching Orbital Defense Kill Zone". "Warning. ENTERING Orbital Defense Kill Zone". "Ion Cannon ready! Have a nice day". Mission Failed (unless you eject seconds before the Ion Cannon kills your HAWC, then you have seconds to run back to the mission zone as the warning message plays again if you're outside without a HAWC before the IC hits YOU as well.)

[@ProtossExecutor100]

Duo Maxwell Yoooo those messages scared me as a kid. And I barely cheated on any level except that stupid one where you have to steal the Scorp tank to see the minefield and there’s two rocket towers making it almost impossible

I love everything about this game. I still have the original disc for this from back when my brother and I used to play it on our old Windows 95 computer. To this very day we still frequently stick it in a CD player to listen to the soundtrack. We used to bend our arms into stiff right angles and tromp around pretending to be HAWCs. I'll never forget how haunting it felt to play.

[@camshaftgaming7059]

Lazy Game Reviews, I'm so glad you made this video. This was my first PC game. My parents got it for free with their first computer in the windows 95 era and my father gave it to me because he was not into games and could not understand it. I played it on my Windows 98 Compaq I got for free at a yard sale at the age of 9, and to this day I still have my disc copy. It never had a jewel case or a large box as it came with a package deal sadly but I hope to find them. What's even more interesting about this game is that it functions differently on every computer I install it on from glitches to freezes to just the intro video not working but the game running just fine. This game was what started my Mech (or HAWC) obsession and I can't keep my hands off of anything that has to do with them now. Even funnier, I have never made it past the third mission. My game would give me the infiltration code for the convoy and I could never make it work. I just replayed the first and second missions over and over. The amount of people that even know this game exists are few and far between. But here you come again with a video about something that even someone like me can relate a large chunk of his childhood to. I could rattle off plenty of stories about that old 98 Compaq, the computer I had before that which my neighbor had given me that had a single color screen in amber and I still can't figure out what brand it was, or even my modular IBM ThinkPad 775 that I miss dearly. I had that one at age 11 and I played tank simulators on it. Had to search for months on Ebay to find a modular cd drive for it. I'm only 22 now but this old tech is exciting. My next project is going to be a dual Pentium III Windows 98 machine on an old server board. To think that processor came out when I was somewhere around 5. Also thank you for your videos about your old 486 DOS custom build with the wood look. That was one of a kind these days.

[@Rebelsk8s]

No idea why my dad even had this game since he was using his pc for work only. Someone must have given it to him but I was the only one ever playing it. And I loved it even though I had no idea what was going on since I was 6 or maybe 8 years old and could hardly read while there were some difficult or even english terms used (I'm german). Also the controls made zero sense to me; all I knew so far was Tetris and Super Mario Land 2 after all so this game was way to complex. I didn't even realize there was a way to save your game (saving games was nothing I knew about at that point). So I just kept to "begin with the beginning" ;) Just walking around as a -robot- though was enough to amaze me. I really wish I could play it again and fully experience the game :(

It wouldn't be terribly hard to approximate that look with modern tools. Just use super low res textures with "nearest neighbor" filtering, chunky models, and then a vertex shader that rounds all the vertex positions to approximate the chunkiness/shakiness of the old-school fint point/integer math, and a hard edged 1-bit alpha on all your explosion/laser blast images that get pasted awkwardly on top of the scene with no nice blending. It was all really hard to do on a 486, but nowadays the technology is a lot more accessible if you only want it to run on a modern machine and you don't have to pull your hair out optimising it to hell and gone.

[@umageddon]

Sounds ORIGINAL

[@blackmonish]

If you like games with that kind of cool 90's sci-fi look, have you played a game called Warzone 2100 on the PC and original Playstation? It is a post apocalyptic RTS that allows you to claim and research technology from factions each time you encounter new enemies. Once you research the new tech, you then design your units, choosing the method of propulsion, its body, and it's turret. There are TONS of pieces with several categories of stats that they modify. Each time you complete a mission, instead of making you start over on base building, a screen pops up that summarizes the battle, you're given your next objective, then your screen goes right back to where it was and the map simply expands (kinda supreme commander style, though I have played very little of that series). I HIGHLY recommend it, I still play it to this day and I think it would make a great review that hardly anyone has done, and I know yours would certainly be the most entertaining. Love the channel man! God bless, and keep up the good work!

This game is amazing for it's time. the fact you can get out of your mech then gas out another person in their mech, STEAL their mech and proceed to STEP on the previous mech's owner was so satisfying.

What an experience for a very little me. You missed a golden opportunity to highlight the way the game kept you from wandering off. The voice that would come on you com and warn you that you'd die if you kept going before saying "have a nice day" and obliterating you with an orbital laser was a big part of the charm for me.

I have a boxed copy of this. Never played it much, but I liked the reviews of it when it came out and picked it up many years later during my retro rush.

I remember getting a copy of Starsiege with our Gateway 2000 desktop. It was my introduction to Mech games and I fell in love with the genre.

Saving this for later, mech games are my goto games and LGR is my goto youtube channel!
