This game is certifiably WACKY | PANIC!

[@attitudeeraglamazon9480]

I love when it is dead silent and then Arin laughs. It reminds me of the animal soccer game where Dan is just so dumbfounded and Arin cracks up.

[@barry_esmail]

YES!!!

[@BPB80]

By game do you mean Oscar winning short film?

[@cosmicwarrior_]

I re-watch their animal soccer video like once a month and it kills me every time lol

Was Arin drunk on that one? Drunk Arnold is a good time.

[@sleepyote]

You know it's going to be good when Dan asks "Arin, what is this?"

[@resileaf9501]

It's either a horror game, or complete nonsense.

[@moonIightequilibrium]

Arin has an incredible talent when it comes to finding the most peculiar games to play on the channel

[@MacheteCity]

He ripped off oney

It hard to believe that some of the noises aren't made by Arin and Dan

[@seraphim2001]

If I recall, this is basically a maze with goofy gags. So some buttons will take you forward, some backwards, and some to a different path then you saw before.

[@trashboatdax]

PLEASE play more of this, I LOVE these kinds of games. It really feels like a precursor to WarioWare and BishiBashi Special, other favorites of mine. (Also this was the 420th video on my Grumps playlist. It's fate!)

[@toasty_mcdanish]

I had this playing in the background and I honestly couldn't tell if it was the game or Arin making all the sound effects.

[@MysticJem2016]

No it literally sounds like Arin doesn't it!! I'm surprised he doesn't seem to notice allll the effects are mouth-foley (if that is a term...)

[@connorandrews2874]

I'm pretty sure the game called One Hour One Life uses just human generated sound. The game is also just a really interesting concept in general too if you decide to check it out.

[@BlueJeiVA]

Never have a seen a game more tailored for Arin

[@payhemseht]

it's really resonating with his humour. Sure sounded like he was into it but Dan probably doesn't think it's a good title to do a series on. Might run thin spread over multiple episodes, donno

[@cappyP704]

Is it bad that the end where they showed ALL the possible levels made me desperately realized how much I need another episode of this right now

[@BlueReadSomeCreepyPastaLongAgo]

This reminds me of some of the early flash games you'd find that have the exact same gameplay. Just press buttons and see what wacky shenanigans the animator could come up with.

[@fathergetdown]

I used to play the shit out of this on my Sega CD as a kid. Still play it on emulator, even after thirty years I still haven't seen all the gags.

Arin having a grand ol time while Dan is going "what the fuck IS this shit?" Is my favorite type of video

[@williamcongleton1765]

The green blob at 11:40 reminds of the green blob Spunky finds in the Garbage Day Rocko's modern life episode. Don't know if that's what Arin was thinking of but it was the first thing to come to my mind. Why one screen, of one episode, of a series I watched 30 yrs ago appeared so vividly to me in the moment is anyone's guess.

[@maggs131]

17:53 im genuinely astonished Danny didn’t think that umbrella thing didnt look exactly like the spider droid from Space Quest.

[@davidwebster6081]

Game Grumps are really consistent in finding *very* strange old games to play. Don't get me wrong, ToTK was one of their all-timer playthroughs, but bizarre one-offs like this are one of the main reasons I'll be a life-long fan. Also, I hate to say it, but I'd kill for the music from the magic lamp screen. Shit slaps bigtime.

[@EmberLionGames]

The intro is already a fever dream, I am happy.

[@executor32]

1:28 If by "first fully-orchestrated soundtrack" you mean the first game to use Red Book CD audio in a game instead of MIDI, that was actually _No-Ri-Ko,_ a primitive dating sim from Hudson Soft and one of the two launch titles for the PC Engine CD-ROM (Turbografx CD in the US) released in December 1988. The game features J-pop idol Ogawa Noriko as the titular love interest, a fictionalized version of herself, and not only did it use CD audio for a few songs she sings in the game, it also used it for her voice lines.

[@SHKEVE]

I think another way to interpret it is the first game to have a soundtrack consisting of orchestral music performed entirely by a real orchestra. I think Arin’s right that the first game to do that was Jurassic Park: The Lost World from August 1997 [it wasn’t, but I’m still not certain which game was definitively the first] which was composed and orchestrated by Michael Giacchino who would go on to score movies like Up, The Incredibles, and even the Jurassic World series. Close runner up is Total Annihilation which was released the following month and was Jeremy Soule’s (of Skyrim fame) first orchestral score. Incredible music.

[@executor32]

@@SHKEVE Even if that's what Arin meant, which is debatable, one if the first home video games-possibly even _the_ first-to have a full orchestral soundtrack composed specifically for the game was _Dark Wizard_ for the Sega CD, and that came out in November 1993. Agreed on _Total Annihilation,_ though, still one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time.

[@LordSenile]

@@SHKEVE"he first game to do that was Jurassic Park: The Lost World from August 1997 " Definitively not the first! Many of the early CD-ROM games featured a real orchestra performing the soundtrack on CD audio track. Gabriel Knight 2 even had an opera composed and performed for the game!

[@DigitalxGamer]

...I've never heard of this game until now, but I think it's pretty obvious that you're just in a maze of random things happening and you have to find your way to the central server or whatever. And yes, different buttons on the same switchboard can take you to different routes. It's clearly just a maze and there's a goal somewhere. Idk how it took so long to realize that. xD
