Goosebumps: Attack of the Mutant (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A beginning to end playthrough of DreamWorks Interactive's 1997 Windows 95 game, R. L. Stine Goosebumps: Attack of the Mutant.
I made to sure to get EVERYTHING possible, so this video shows all of the hidden costume pieces being collected, as well as the special ending that you get for collecting them all.
Many of your guys requested that I play through this after I did Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland (you can check out that playthrough here: • Goosebumps: Attack of ... ). Sorry that it took so long for me to get around to doing this video - but here it is at last! I hope it was worth the wait. The video was recorded directly from Windows 8.1 from a disc image I made off of my original CD (mainly to avoid the load times incurred when reading directly from the game disc). It plays just fine with no tweaks despite being 19 years old this year!
Unlike Escape from Horrorland, this is not an FMV adventure game. Rather, it is a first-person shooter with hilariously tacky cel-shaded cartoon characters. Still, for as much as this game has aged, it still looks good - anyone that remembers playing this when it was new can attest to what an amazing looking game it was back in 1997. Seriously, it ran smoothly on my Pentium 133mhz with 32 megs of RAM using a 2D-only PCI video accelerator card! That was quite the feat, even if it was running at the now-considered paltry resolution of 640x480 in 8-bit color mode (256 colors on-screen at once).
The videos interspersed throughout are pretty hilarious - torso's wiggle about independent of their lower halves, everyone gesticulates wildly like they're trying to put out a fire, and there are some genuinely hilarious moments through them - my favorite has to be when the Galloping Gazelle (a guy who's superpower seems to be having gazelle legs and ears - he action-movie kicks pretty epicly with his bizarrely misshapen limbs) has one of his legs "erased". and you have to help him out by tossing a random golden woman's leg at him that you found hanging out on a floating bit of ice. Seriously - he puts on a female's detached golden leg, and proceeds to kick the bejeezus out of this enemy. And the best part - Gazelle is played by Adam West! You can't make this stuff up!
I loved the books as a kid, and the game was a pretty entertaining, pleasantly high budget affair Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed reliving the memories of it :)
And finally, the voice cast is pretty heavy hitting for a game this old! Here are the actors, I'm sure you'll recognize at least a few of them:
Jim Belushi - Masked Mutant
Mary Kay Bergman - Flo
Kimberly Brooks - Dinah Mite
Jodi Carlisle - Chin Chilla
Michael Donovan - Captain Bob, Penguin, Magnificent Molecule Man
Keri Tombazini - Babblin Brooke
Adam West - Galloping Gazelle
John Garry - Wartlock
Scott LaRosa - Feedback
Matt Levin - Root Rot
Roger Rose - Pinky Flamingo
Steve Schatzberg - Toadie Tim, Tina, Tod

I like how Adam West reprised his role as the Gazelle in this game since he was Gazelle in the actual goosebumps episode. RIP Adam West, we all miss you

[@IsaacA192]

Oh man, nostalgia overload... Got this for my birthday some time in the 90s and didn't know how to play it. I just remember thinking how amazingly realistic it looked.

[@CaptainDoomsday]

Truly, a fascinating game. I'm really sad it's so convuluted at times that I couldn't figure it out as a child. Teleporting into a painting behind me at the beginning was the puzzle I never solved.

[@NintendoComplete]

This game is hilarious, and it has got an amazing cast of voice actors - Jim Belushi as the Masked Mutant and Adam West as the classic Galloping Gazelle, anyone?

[@keishonhill3345]

Adam West also did The Gazelle on the Television Show

[@LittleMissRequiem]

@@keishonhill3345 True, although at least in this game he’s not as cowardly or wimpy as in the TV series or the original book. In the latter two, the Mutant kidnaps GG in order to lure Skipper (the protagonist) back into the Mutant’s lair; Skipper manages to rescue GG, and together they go after the Mutant, but after being tripped by the Mutant during a whirlwind attack (and, in the book, being faced with a leopard-Mutant), GG suddenly bails and leaves Skipper to fend for himself against the Mutant.

there're games that i wasnt capable of beating as a kid back then, but good news is i finally did it when i've grown up.

these productions made during dat period of time have some kinds of special charming attraction on'em and even today i still cant figure out. but i know i would still love'em even when i've reached 100. lol

[@jonbourgoin182]

You're so right. I know it's cliche to say, but they really just don't make em like they used to. After the PS3/360 era something sinister happened to gaming, and the entertainment industry as a whole. Not the least of which is the phasing out of physical media.

[@lucasclement9368]

They really should make a new Goosebumps game. The Horror Town mobile game is nice and all, but it's only a matter of time before people start losing interest in it. They should make an first-person episodic series where the player has to travel through different Goosebumps books, defeat Slappy and his band of Goosebumps monsters (Haunted Mask, The Creeps, Masked Mutant, Lord High Executioner, and Sarabeth - with her Monster Blood), and save R.L. Stine (played by Jack Black).

[@robbiemcinnis5582]

Theory: what if the silent protagonist is skipper and the video game is a stealth sequel to the book think about it?

[@robbiemcinnis5582]

Crossley Productions If you look up attack of the mutant on the goosebumps wiki and go to the plot part at the near end skipper cut his hand with the night and he bleeds Ink and he’s still a comic book character and he reads his new comic that came in as he suspect his career in comics isn’t over yet it’s possibly hinted that the masked mutant survived after being turned Into Sulfuric acid and if my theory is true that The game is a self sequel to the book it would also explain the silent protagonist’s stop is in the middle of nowhere it’s skipper and why The silent protagonist immediately begins reading the comic book in his bag it’s possibly the same stop that Skipper had in the book btw i’m always wonder how did the masked mutant (and the other comic book characters from the game and they are two from the book) got to the real world
