Games I F*cking Hate - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (NES)

[@rklynch8558]

I think the real question is not who the Bomb Maniac is, but why on Earth is he allowed to roam freely about the streets in the town and drop bombs all over the place. Dude should be locked up. Just like the people who designed this game.

[@mryoshiyoshi451]

AVGN thinks this is the Worst Game of All Time

[@phantomvulpe791]

I agree. It is. A lot of shit in the game makes no sense and out right annoying of the fuck is going on. The ending is even more worse after all that hard work you've done

[@cacodemon4869]

Drew The Conqueror of Worlds No if you look at the scale, the major code red games.

[@mryoshiyoshi451]

Eric Moser You mean the Shit Scale from the 135th episode of the AVGN?

[@cacodemon4869]

yep

[@Trinity_Primaris]

I think Action 52 was the worst game, if not hatn either Bubsy or plumbers dont wear ties

[@GTdba]

Why would Jekyll marry a woman If he was gay? Well, the answer is actually pretty simple: Jekyll is a closet gay, and in an era such as the Victorian one people was repressed and grew to behave following a certain etiquette and stereotype. Otherwise society and their masks would ruin your Life. Marriage was often a matter of interest and money, not love, and often worked as a good facade. That is pretty much it!

[@y11971alex]

Marriages in the Victorian era were usually arranged. Didn't matter whom you married because you could have affairs, at least if you were discreet about it.

[@alexradice8163]

Wow smarty pants definitely just made the whole game seem logical wow you went to school that's crazy bro

[@emperorpalpatine1228]

I mean Freddy Mercury was gay but had a Common Law Wife that he left most of his estate too. 🤷

[@SmithOfGear92]

Oh my god!!! I'm amazed you survived this DX! Also, I dig the use of that creepy Super Metroid theme in the beginning! :D

[@DXFromYT]

Pat Smith I'm glad someone noticed it! Love Metroid.

[@SmithOfGear92]

The Metroid series is a good source of creepy stuff; music, moments, you name it! I'm still convinced that Metroid Fusion had to be one of the most scariest games on the GBA; for god sakes man, the SA-X... Those footsteps... That theme... I wonder if Creative Assembly was inspired by Metroid Fusion, seeing as how they're making the upcoming Alien: Isolation? Hey, you never know! XD Back to this crap game. I'm happy you survived playing it... All that nonsensical garbage?! TOTAL REST IN PISS MATERIAL!!!

[@Callie_With_a_Bible]

"He walks like he has 20 test tubes up his ass" "And he jumps like he's trying to get them out" So.....smooth.

[@TimelordR]

This game is an abomination. As for Rachel, i'd tap that...

[@josephfrye7342]

right!

[@doan2300]

I didn't know about the implied repressed homosexuality in the story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. random youtube videos of crappy games are educational!

[@KyrosTheWolf]

6:51 an accurate description of Michael Bay

[@darklightreaper1]

and cod

[@KyrosTheWolf]

Damn, this comment is from over a year ago...

[@TauGeneration]

+Kyros Vulk-Oliver WOW ! THAT'S INGENIUS !

[@KyrosTheWolf]

Trolmaster - Your name tells me you're being sarcastic...

[@TauGeneration]

Kyros Vulk-Oliver nope trust me. i'm a troll (now)

[@jacobcarver1]

Damn, you went WAY more in depth here than James Rolfe did. Not to discredit the Fucking Nerd, but you took way more context from the book as well as covering both versions of the game. Nice work.

[@dmmd8304]

Great review! Feels very fresh. My two cents: the award for WORST SOUND DESIGN on NES has to go to Rocky and Bullwinkle's god awful music as shown on the AVGN episode. Does anyone know of something WORSE?

[@DXFromYT]

Action 52 is probably a top contender as well.

[@NotIfICU1st_]

Imagine growing up poor and getting two games a year, one on your birthday and one for Christmas. My brother got this game for his birthday. The horror

[@DJDTHTRP]

The coins can also come from Rosette Ranright in the Japanese version, waving to you from a window above a door. It _IS_ RNG as to whether or not she helps you - all stress gone, full coins - or takes your money and kicks you out, which may anger you enough to become Hyde. How unfortunate we never even got a chance to interact with her in the US version. If you don't have eight coins - it IS that many, been confirmed - and you want to avoid damage to your LIFE from trying to scroll Elena off the screen, then that's when you use your cane to poke her. The benefit of this is that when you return to being the doctor, Elena is gone. A risk to take, but if it's saving LIFE and moving along for the good ending, then it is what it is.

[@retrogamelover2012]

13:56 Honestly, it sounds like something that'd play in one of those black & white slapstick comedy films, where somebody's getting chased around and stuff.

[@Jose-kb6nc]

"Because he's gay" PREDICTION ALERT!

[@sarasaland4709]

Also, to get the best ending You need to beat the last level as Hyde, fight a boss, and then beat the level as Jekyll. The game literally breaks its own rules for the best ending.

[@superpan218]

I've heard that you can also use the cane to defuse bombs, which makes about as much sense as killing bees with your cane. First of all, how would you know to defuse a bomb? And second, how can a cane defuse a bomb? None of this makes sense. How Nintendo accepted this game with their seal of approval, I'll never know. Update: It turns out that using the cane to defuse bombs was not possible. I've played the game to notice this.

[@gundanout11]

6:33 Luna The Cat from Sailor Moon why is she doing in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde game.

[@uktthe_king_fish5769]

I dunno, maybe going turbo? (Fun fact: sailor moon is my favourite anime of all time)

[@JPG.01]

Ok this game can be boiled down to: 1.Bullshit licensing, Dr.Jakyll and Mr. Hyde only works in a point and click - detective/mystery setting, anything else is doomed to failure from the start. 2.Bullshit Design (Sound, Levels, Graphics,) 3.Bullshit Controls and unsatisfying Gameplay. It was 1988 after all, stuff like that happened frequently I bet.

[@SaiKisaragi]

Bomb Maniac = -Kira Yoshikage?-

[@SaiKisaragi]

Timmy Ryan I'm great~ and what about you~

[@SaiKisaragi]

Timmy Ryan cute~

[@SaiKisaragi]

yeah sure mate steamcommunity.com/id/DisBakaIsKoot

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

03:44 dat hand 😂😂😂👌

[@darklightreaper1]

where do you find these games

[@DXFromYT]

***** Randomly, really. Sometimes the games are suggestions.

[@beneil2]

Dr. Jekyll gay I didn't know that?

[@SuperKratosgamer]

There is two endings, the good you get to the church with Jekyll, tha bad you finish the final boss as Hyde.

[@JonesDylan874]

Actually, the Hyde finish is the Good Ending. The Jekyll finish is the bad one.

[@somewackoonyoutube2449]

Good job reviewing this horrendous game~

[@USADroopyMeat1099]

18:37 that makes me laugh what is this sound effect come from can someone link me to the source please

[@shoresean1237]

At the end of 1982's parody 'Jekyll & Hyde: Together Again', they have a scene with RLS's skeleton whirling in his grave proclaiming that the bastards had ruined his story. Mister Stevenson: You hadn't seen nothing yet, and this is not counting Mary Reilly.

[@1SpicyMeataball]

"Jekyll is a closeted homosexual." That is only one of the theorized themes. *Theorized*. ie it's the modern era and everything is looked at through the lens of "The Big Gay". Hyde came about as a way for Jekyll to deal with his hypocrisy. It is implied that he lived a life not a pure or as virtuous as he might have liked. What Stevenson means by that is anyone's guess but I highly doubt it was homosexual in nature. People perceive the relationships in the work as homosexual because the lack of women. Stevenson's previous novels had action and intrigue. (Kidnapped, Treasure Island). "Tales for Boys" they were marketed as during the Victorian period. Stevenson wrote what he knew; male characters. (Though some dabbled with having female protagonists. Thomas Hardy and Tess of D'Urbvilles and Madame Bovary by Flaubert, which were arguably morality tales of the "fallen woman") Jekyll and Hyde is one of my favorites of gothic literature. Your interpretation of the work is just one of many and I'm fine with that. But to see half the comments taking it as the end all be all of the work is just sad and an oversimplification of a great book. It was the 1800's. I don't think R.L. Stevenson was going for woke points. If you want homoerotic undertones read Wilde.

[@alexradice8163]

No one asked for the essay

[@XGames-94]

I missed your reviews. Great job on this one by the way.

[@ryanymous2138]

YOU SHOULD SAY SHOUTOUTS TO AVGN!

[@nakano15]

Maybe the Hyde session wouldn't be that much god awful, if instead of walking backwards, trying to regenerate the stress meter without reaching the place Jekyll died, the character could simply rise as Hyde on the place Jekyll fell, and move to the right, continuing the progress of Jekyll, like an alternate gameplay of Jekyll, and return to Jekyll gameplay when the Stress Meter fills. I just don't have ideas of how one would regenerate the health though, pickups maybe? Beside, since the game is about "Good VS Evil", wonder what would happen if Hyde reached the Church to visit Ms. Millicent? #BadEnding or some kind of Final Boss fight for a hidden good ending? Since the player is at a devil version of the world, wonder what could be at the church?

[@JonesDylan874]

Final boss for a good ending.

[@dhenderson1810]

Maybe Dr Jekyll lived near the church, or he left in plenty of time to get to the church.

[@mkayrose6070]

Luna the cat... So she was in this game before dealing a Moon princess?

[@GreenPhoenix91]

This was Luna's off the record mission unfortunately the Philosophers managed to outmaneuver her in obtaining Hyde's genetics but it was a great victory against the Dark Kingdom as they wouldn't be able to replicate Hyde's Psychowave into their Youma.

[@TheDeldiz]

A game that claims to be based on a novel but is a complete lie....sounds like what Frozen did to The Snow Queen.

[@uktthe_king_fish5769]

Have you heard of 'fairy tale with a twist' that's what frozen is supposed to be

[@Wykletypl]

1:20 Are You sure of that? I have read this novel from Collins Classics, and couldn't find that beat. But according to the dictionary that came with that edition, the word 'gay' back then meant 'happy' or 'merry'.

[@uktthe_king_fish5769]

Notice that Luna (in this game) is an alley cat. And in the sailor moon anime (which I love BTW) she doesn't like alley cats. Again, another thing that makes no sense

[@sheriffaboubakar9720]

harry fisher they are 2 different franchises -_-

[@mido3332]

Grate video, where did you get the orchestra vetion of the ost of the game

[@insanecandycane1283]

*WHO THE FUCK IS THE BOMB MANIAC???*

[@Nuggets2798]

I enjoy your videos that you make you add such good commentary what do you think about luigi's mansion?

[@kennedylemon5837]

I like how he puts so much emphasis in each word in each sentence he says it's so funny

[@albertarias8233]

Perfect job, much more explanatory than the avgn review except he did good in the end but yours is still perfect.

[@am-eo7rt]

17:19 is a piece of the Mass Effect OST. C-Sec!

[@LoneWandererCollin]

And I thought that Daikatana on pc was shitty

[@thecinematicmind]

Hour of The Walking Monstrosity? Sounds like a review to describe the game.

[@joelofjudah9144]

A game about Dr Jykel and mr. Hyde could have been a fun game. Why not have the rolls switched. Have doctor Jykel in the demon world, And have mr hyde in the real world. It would make a lot more sense.

[@dhenderson1810]

Actually, it would. It would explain why the townspeople are attacking Hyde, or the demons are attacking Dr Jekyll.

[@jaygooese4242]

No idea 7:00

[@dying101666]

Michael bay created the bomb maniac.

[@ccateni28]

You know the people who try to stop jekyll are cursed? see the good ending for proof.

[@dhenderson1810]

Because killing the woman singing is murder, whereas killing a bee isn't murder, so killing someone causes more stress.

[@luquitagl]

This game should've been in the top 20, it looks like absolute misery to have to play through. Just looking at it makes me cringe.

[@reeloykenjins2835]

AVGN's worst enemy

[@sujatarkunde5522]

This is worse than cheetamen 2

[@iamnobody7044]

Suja Tarkunde Nothing. Nothing is worse than Cheetahmen II.

[@Mythical6255]

I was here from the Nerd

[@davidhill8565]

If you're a challenge seeker, play the Japanese version.

[@phantomvulpe791]

I remember Alphaomegasin and angry video game nerd play this game and boy was it funny

[@OracleLSTV]

I found out a few months ago, that Jekyll is properly pronounced "Jee-kyll" instead of "Jeh-kyll".

[@NeoPsychosis-zg2ki]

Even in japanese gaming community, this game was labeled as kusoge (クソゲー) a.k.a shitty game

[@KingOhmni]

I had a nightmare many years ago and while the minutia has faded the overall details have not. Let's just say every telling of it I have done in real life has been well received around a few campfires/chimneys over the intervening years. Basically for reasons that were never alluded to in the nightmare a shadowman became attached to me and a group of friends who were having a picnic come party next to where I worked. All I can say is that at the time and in the nightmare I was working for an antique restoration firm so there were plenty of old doohickies that could have held something nefarious in them, maybe I had worked on something that had not wanted to be worked on. Either way things went crazy paranormal after I nipped into work to check on something and a journey was began across Britain where we traveled at night and slept during the day and every now and then the shadowman would claim one of my entourage until we arrived at a lake and things went somewhat Heaven and Hell and the shadowman was contained within the lake during a full moon and there was a localised tsunami as the climax after the shadowman failed to eat the moon even as I was doing a jig with a very old walking stick bathed in ethereal light... I did not go into any of the really freaky shit, like the shadowman possessing one of the group and then raping another of the group until the group smashed the rapists head in accidentally while trying to knock him out or the bit where someone's soul was poured out and drank by the shadowman but hey. You get the picture if you bothered to read this rather late comment. One's dreams and indeed nightmares can be fonts of creativity as I am sure Mr Stevenson would agree. 'Fine old bogey tale'. I'll remember that quote.

[@altusshow7574]

Just fyi, the use of "come", like picnic come party, is actually used like this: Picnic-cum-party. Not often I see people who know of it, or use it in the right context, so I figured I'd show you the proper way because it's a useful expression.

[@avengedadam41]

so you're saying I should buy this game?

[@decayedphoenix8865]

N O

[@EarthboundX]

I assume you hit the woman with the cane to turn into Hyde, in case you need coins to pass her?

[@Pfosco53]

Keep making more of these please

[@hakomutaito]

11:05 really? Good thing i didn't poke her but seriously that's stupid and doesn't make sense.

[@lincoln2991]

You should review The Amazing Spiderman 2 game

[@lincoln2991]

legofreak446 Yeah i know

[@landismithCOJ]

We need a Next Gen Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Rockstar Games make it happen!!!

[@TheNeXusCore9032]

You know, if this game was remade, would it be better or still be considered as rotten sh!t?

[@nintendoentertainmentsyste5705]

You remind me alot like the Angry Video Game Nerd!

[@adultmoshifan87]

You've obviously never played Robin Hood's Quest for the PS2

[@nakano15]

So... Did he arrive on the marriage in time?

[@yagamijase]

If you hate the game so much when you first started playing it, why did you continue to play it?

[@Nera-Red-93]

To give the proper review

[@yagamijase]

whitegriffin92093 Oh. Well, sometimes they make games after the weirdest things. don't they? How come there's not a "Hamlet: The Video Game"? xD

[@xBrandon18786x]

Great video!

[@probium2832]

Final rating: *2/10* - it's playable but terribly slow and I won't want to bother for a long time getting very far.

[@erainmartinez8175]

what a terrible game

[@TheNamelessScholarOfficial]

I can see all of the Nerd fanboy comments XD

[@TheNamelessScholarOfficial]

legofreak446 So you know AVGN?

[@TheNamelessScholarOfficial]

legofreak446 can I ask you some Questions?

[@TheNamelessScholarOfficial]

legofreak446​ What do you think of Dishonored Green Day Steven Universe (I Actually like this show) Star Wars the old republic Linkin Park Diablo 3 Fallout Shelter How Old are you? (I am 14 years old) Gravity Falls 

[@TheNamelessScholarOfficial]

legofreak446 1)Dishonored is my favorite game. 2)Green Day is awesome for me And listen to Their song American Idiot first it will sound so familiar to you. 3.Exactly Haven't seen much episodes but creative. 4.It is overhyped agreed but I have a lot of fun with it because You can actually gain Light Side points even if you are a sith ( I bet You already found that out)Because you are being a douchebag) 5.Linkin Park may be the best alternative band in our time. I recommend you listening to them 6.Yes agreed but for people who hasn't played any Blizzard game says that it's a fantastic game. 7.It's addicting but it is the Hardest App game I have ever played. Yes Harder than Plague Inc. On app Because if you don't think before you do something you lose Control of your Vault. 8.Hmm interesting one of my friends is also 16 9.Haven't seen so much but it's the most Darkest Kids Cartoon Ever made yes more darker than Teen Titans and Courage the Cowardly Dog Combined. 10. If you have any questions ask them to me.

[@TheNamelessScholarOfficial]

legofreak446 1)The only Thing that CN Wants from the older audience is hate and TTG is the proof. 2. all of them are same to me 3.Mostly all of them 4.I don't know who he/she is 5.I have no idea 6.I really want to Visit Greek 7.Probably Rambo 2014 (Angry Joe is right)

[@legionfighter6789]

If you like rogue type games, Why don't you try FTL?

Please make more these are my type of youtube vids

[@marcusjayemedia799]

I've seen a lot of videos but I've never gone a KZbin page and just started laughing as it started 30- 1:30 I was laughing my ass off this channel deserves to be shown more than basic ass channels like pewdiepie a Swedish guy with an annoying ass voice and plays throughs I'd rather die than sit and watch that horseshit and I have to say markplier is get equally boring and annoying there is a long list of talentless fucks that KZbin has promoted I feel like this guy should have his chance atleast at 50k subscribers

[@ghostflxwer]

aw a KZbin hipster

[@ghostflxwer]

aw a KZbin hipster

[@SyncF]

That's the biggest problem with KZbin. Most of the fuckboys who get recognition are only good for drama instead of saying the fucking truth as they should, as this guy does

[@Nera-Red-93]

Yup!

[@bench-xpre55]

it's still an AAA title..........

[@spiritualheadbanger]

I like the bomb maniac

[@erainmartinez8175]

Awful made game

[@ATumbleOfTheDice]

still being an AVGN clone here...

[@DXFromYT]

Try any video from Velvet Assassin onwards, or I'd recommend my newest video I just put out today on Condemned: Criminal Origins. Also got a video on first person shooters that you may like.

2nd comment

[@KageMaxwell]

Heh, I'm actually playing Rygar on my Switch. Funny.

[@jacobcarver1]

Damn, you went WAY more in depth here than James Rolfe did. Not to discredit the Fucking Nerd, but you took way more context from the book as well as covering both versions of the game. Nice work.

[@marcohidalgo1101]

+Jacob “XenobladeFreak” Carver I'd love to show James this video. I think he'd be blown away that someone uncovered more information about this shit-fest than he did. Also he'd now know that the Japanese version is worse than the American version and that the makers of the game disrespect Dr. Jekyll's homosexuality by forcing him to unintentionally marry a female.
