Kids on Site: Hard Hat Edition is the 216th game the Grumps have beaten! A Sega CD Digital Pictures classic, remastered in 2022 by Screaming Villains! Thanks again for the shoutout, guys!

I love how Arin thought this was a parody game, and just not what the 90s thought normal humor was

[@Levitz9]

This whole game was a prolonged Bulk & Skull skit

[@jaydoggy9043]

Exactly, this is just how 90s combo slapstick and education entertainment was.

[@MrSpartan993]

This is NOT a parody game, Arin.

[@DawnApon]

For anyone who may be uncultured, Bulk and Skull are the two comedically incompetent "bullies" from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

[@cookiesyruplover]

Yes! This! He's so offended when Dan looked it up. Like what do you mean this game is sincere???? Are they even aware of their audience? (he means him and Dan who decided to play this on a whim) Never change, Arin.

Blast from the past! Can confirm. Was the target audience when this came out in 94 and hooooly moly. Laughed so hard my dad thought I was going to die. As far as the price... It was definitely one of those on the wire racks near the check out at office depot.

It is a 1994 game. Dan was right. It was just re-released on Steam/PS4

[@gravajaumbros]

So, my family had a Sega CD, and we had Kids on Site. What Dan and Arin say at the end there? The whole "would you like to play again? It's exactly the same!" Yes. Yes, we did play it again. And again. And again. At that age repetition is not a problem. This was such a nostalgic trip. Every single line and bit of footage just filled me with nostalgia. I am far more familiar with this game than anyone has any right to be. Love that someone decided to rerelease this. Amazing!

[@o_ber]

the lore that dizzy tragically killed nuts in a construction vehicle accident and the nuts we see here that’s always somehow barely surviving their hijinks is just a figment of dizzy’s imagination

[@harveyhaslostit]

"Accident"? Dizzy us a sociopathic killer, don't act like it wasn't his full purpose. Probably did it because his huge ego was hurt when he realised Nuts was the better guy in everything (especially being a good person)

[@joseignaciofarias2617]

And with the SteamRoller Dizzy is just getting rid of everything that reminds him of Nuts. Also, Dizzy Said "Thats a big penny" and Neither Dan nor Arin said anything about it
