Haunting Starring Polterguy (Genesis) - Pat the NES Punk

[@OldSchoolCurt]

I love how Frank is giving a second chance at life and he just goes back to drinking beer and watching Ancient Aliens! I swear that would be me I would go back to watching American hauntings and drinking miller lite!

[@tendaloin]

Great video man. I can tell Frank had a good time helping out on this one too, he was definitely into his part. Thanks for making these videos for us!

[@Chesterfurlock]

I found the beginning of this video genuinely upsetting until Frank reached for his beer. Damn I'm getting old

[@karenelizabeth1590]

Man, me too! D-: Great acting on Frank's part.

[@naranciaisbestboi125]

At first I was like, "No, Frank!!!" But when he grabbed the beer my face went to -.-

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Cheers! 🍻

[@PeteSkerritt]

I picked this game up over the summer and struggled with it, primarily because I had no clue what was going on. I'm glad that you covered this because I now have a better understanding of the game & how it works-- plus I learned some things that I didn't know about the game in general. Thanks for this!

Because people like using their noggin' using a walkthrugh is pretty much like not even playing yourself, you are playing simon says.

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

@@MajinCCBThePrince I wish there were walk-throughs when I was a kid. There were more than a few games we just couldn't figure out what to do, tried everything we could think of, then gave up. A good example is Flipull for Gameboy (and you bet we lost the instructions).

[@MajinCCBThePrince]

@@scramblesthedeathdealer true, but it's to the point these days that it's easy to not even bother trying to figure out a puzzle, just look it up. Kinda ruins alot of games, it's ok not being able to beat a game.

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

@@MajinCCBThePrince I absolutely agree with the second part, I haven't beaten most of the games I own (at least without a little, or a lot of cheating 😔). 😆 It's all about having fun. Like the name of the NES, Nintendo *Entertainment* System. Everyone has their own idea of what is fun, and it's only a competition if you enter one. I'm not very good at most games, but they let me take a quick break from the stress of life, maybe a good hit of nostalgia. 😊

[@xruno841]

is it me? Or is this Pat's best review yet? Great work Pat! Frank's Awesome :D

[@segaofmyhouse]

I wonder if one day Danny Sullivan will find out how much Pat loves him and his slightly uncommon NES game.

[@johnandbrianversus5082]

This might be Pat's best review,mostly because of Frank.

I get it now,that red spot on Polterguys face was the injury that killed him! he must of fallen off the board and smashed his face in

[@TheCodedtestament]

This game is a perfect example of what we gamers are thinking of when we reminisce of the first decade and a half of the console era...the 80's and early to mid 90's. We remember and appreciate just how good, fun to play and entertaining the ingenuity of simple gameplay could be.

[@lilturk726]

Frank watches Ancient Aliens? Damn that guy just gets even more awesome with every episode.

[@LeftoverCultureReview]

Great episode, good Frank ratio. Send my deepest sympathies as well as a pat on the back for the resurrection. Maybe your best episode yet, probably because it was Sega ;)

[@Goobian]

I have never heard of this game before. This would of been a great idea for a Beetlejuice game at the time.

[@Rountree1985]

Goobian would have, dumb shit.

[@RockandrollNegro]

You dumb fuck. Never say it "would of" been a great game. Say "could of" instead!

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Jeez! The reply section literally got pissed off over grammars.

[@Donscottmusic]

I have this game in my Sega Genesis collection,and it's very fun and unique. "Haunting" is such an underrated overlooked obscure hidden gem.

[@mtshark7]

Great review Pat! This game is amazing on the Genesis, I love how you mention all the details about the game; lots of it I didn't know.

[@tyger8989]

Thank you sooo much for a new episode! Keep them coming! I love how long it is!

[@MacGuffinExMachina]

Someone needs to make a GIF of ghost Frank dancing.

[@Ironman1o1]

I love this this game! I remember, though the scares being really jarring for how explicit they were. You'd have some scares that'd be laughed out a children's haunted house ride at a cheap fair, to shit like a woman peeling her own skin off, the Buzz saw hacking people up, and then the car trunk full of one of the Sardini's body parts.

[@CamsEyeView]

those damn aliens, they took our women and killed Frank! D: Anyway great review!

[@Billo1281]

Too bad EA didn't stick to these types of games. I was a Sega kid myself mostly, what a unique game! Awesome video Pat, And Frank!

[@mbuck253]

I know I’m a little late to reply to your comment, but I couldn’t help myself.. I was JUST saying that same exact thing to Jesus at the Prosecutors Office yesterday! It’s completely understandable that they went to sports. But now that they make more money of their yearly FIFA game (the virtual cards) EA should make amends for their decades of evilness bestowed upon us all!!! Make games like Poulterguy! Or even Skitchin’! Road Rash, Jungle Strike, Mutant League Football, Populous, oh SHIIIIIT!!! GENERAL CHAOS!!!!! I friggin LOVED THAT GAME!!! EA could at least try to atone for their many MANY sins. They’re still going to hell no matter what. But maybe they could move up from the 7th layer to the 6th….. Maybe?

[@codyworthlessthegenesisjun5869]

Can't believe someone reviewed Haunting. This is one of my favorite games and such an over looked game. I never hear anyone talking about Haunting and its great that its getting a little love. Great review, brother.

[@MrAlemonte101]

This was an amazing episode Pat and Frank!!!

[@Yamezzzz]

Yay a new NES Punk episode and I'm in the under 300 club! :D Pat might see my comment! That would be my dream! ... I need to get a better fucking dream I just realised...

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Yup.

[@mickmickymick6927]

***** Unfortunately +JamesTavRule died moments before Pat posted that message. Sad,but so it goes.

[@Yamezzzz]

My life is now complete... I don't even know what to do anymore. Pat noticed me... Life has now become meaningless. I shown my friend that Pat the NES Punk replied to me and tried to tell the full truth. I think I said something like "Oh me and Pat? Yeah we are best buds, we communicate online all the time. I'm going to his brother's wedding, I'm best man with Pat you know. Yeah things are getting pretty serious. Pat and I even caught the bouquet together at the wedding. I dunno what that means but obviously no homo." That was pretty much accurate wasn't it? No homo. Love you man. ...no homo...

[@JakeMcaulay]

man frank did such a great job :D

[@TrackerRoo]

Frank is the best, he's like Pat's version of Wilson from Home Improvement.

[@PapaKennMedia]

Frank? FRANK!? FRANK NOOOOO! You were so young! D':

[@NyxDiscordia33]

Holy shit, Pat! A video that isn't a podcast!(were they being uploaded somewhere else this whole time?) Glad to see you back

[@shootermcgee24]

MORE FRANK THAT WAS AWESOME 10/10

[@torloni13]

Thumbs up for Frank's dancing skills

[@venomnbk3326]

Hey Pat please review Journey to Silius. It's an NES gem that has become increasingly forgotten.

[@GLJosh]

Beautiful game, man I loved that one.

[@nisedreemz]

It's like a precursor to "the sims."

[@dynamobeard]

This is Pat's best video so far next to Alisia Dragoon, and Frank's acting is actually really good. Got a great laugh out of the beer joke at the start. Keep up the great work!

[@VIDEOgameDROME]

Loved this game as a kid. It was so unique!

[@MadPanicGaming]

Frank is hilarious! I was pretty bummeb when he was dying but the beer thing made up for it.

[@AlanThompsonRegularNintendo]

Frank was so green! I love that he is always watching ancient aliens,and how he pronounces Mario!

[@Zentinalphayze]

Frank reaching for the beer instead of the phone was priceless! ALL HAIL FRANK!

[@marcmonkey2796]

Fuck I laughed so hard when Frank grabbed the beer.

[@SeeJayAre]

I loved this game as a kid...

[@apillarofash]

So glad you did a review of this. One my favorite games! Awesome video, Frank was great!

Good god I LOVED this game as a kid! That medusa head always freaked me out.

Best Halloween themed show ive seen on youtube this year, really liked this one.

Lmao, this was a great video Pat.

[@h8u99]

I think I'm actually tickled pink to see Pat review Haunting Starring Polgerguy! Not to mention Frank had me laughing the whole time. Great video Pat!

[@barrelroll_poopoopeepee]

I choked on my water when I realized you photoshopped your face on the cover art after not noticing for the whole episode

[@dejavuman22]

I remember playing this a long time ago and enjoying it, but I unfortunately had a bootleg version of it, and it was missing the intro. Just dropped you in the game with no explanation and didn't make a lot of sense at the time. Good to see it again.

[@sentinelreturns2431]

Okay that was f word-ing funny, and Haunting Staring Polterguy was one of my favorite childhood games. Bravo!

[@OldSchoolGamer1981]

I'm glad Frank is willing to participate more now. Nice job loved it!

[@keithrishii]

wow, you really are getting Frank to participate in the storylines a lot more! Hooray! Maybe you and him can do your own feature length production like the Nerd!

[@ClydeLeeM]

I always loved this game as a kid. When I was in highschool in my rom days it took me forever to figure out what it was called, just looking through lists of games.

[@mymainmanskins]

whoa. i was worried there. i'm glad Frank decided to go back into his body. he makes the episodes so much fun! he should do a little stretching before Pat comes over. he probably is a bit stiff. no i don't mean that way. good episode. i really like this game. i don't remember if i had it or my friend did. he lived across the street so who had what is confusing now.

[@matthewputt7970]

Lol, when Frank was having his little "heart attack" my video encountered an error. Perfect timing.

[@mulleinroots]

great video, never heard of this before, i had fun watching it, it seems ive somehow missed some of these ones, so its nice to see a few in a row

[@Will-nq3fo]

this autoplayed for me after new James and Mike Monday (10-9-17). my daughter freaked thinking Frank died for real. we love ya Frank!!!

[@Ermahnerd]

While laughing my ass off, I was so relieved that Frank was finally able to reach his Sierra Nevada.

[@GrandFunker]

I'm Ian's defense, I've seen Pat's Haunting starring Poulterguy video and forgot about it. I was intrigued by it and looked it up and discovered I'd seen it already.

[@neilhirsch5832]

This just made my day, thank you guys!

[@the_realist_John_Doe]

Frank gets extra points for not spilling his beer 2:26 ... even after death. lol

[@CaptainNatron]

Awesome review Pat. I actually just got this game about a month ago in a craigslist lot. Favorite line: "Sega, FairKID..." Keep up the good work.

[@TheFaeleon]

Surprisingly dark opening, looked almost like a real heart attack!

[@cron205]

I had this game in my late teens and a ton of other Genesis games

[@TheShook50]

What a dramatic beginning, and a strange ending. Good work, Pat. The game does look pretty interesting, too bad I never had a Genesis.

[@Konacha37]

I loved this game as a kid. I never owned it but I always rented it at the local video store. I've been looking for this game for years since every once in a while I forget what it is. Still great game, never beat the game but I still loved how each item could turn into evil uses.

Yet another game I wish I had been aware of when I had my Genesis back in the day. This would have been great to share with friends over.

[@LakesideAmusementPro]

[@Ricardosucio]

When the video started, I glanced at the screen and did a double-take. For a second it looked like Frank was wearing an Intercontinental Title Belt shirt

[@michaelgonzales92mg]

dude this game was worth renting for the weekend when i was a kid back in the 90s. I remember I showed my friend who had a SNES, and he begged his mom to get him the sega genesis just so he could play this scream bloody gore game. sadly he never got one, but everytime I'd rent it he'd come over and I'd let him play :)

[@cucollins12]

Hahahahaahah the frank acting in the intro is FUCKING AWESOME

Well done! Loved this game from the first time I played it as a kid. Rented it from Blockbuster and was hooked.

I want to thank you SOOOOOO MUCH for reminding me of this game. It was a game my brother and I used to play together. I love it and so does he. you are the best at reviewing games. James brought your channel to my attention. He is who I watch when I want to choke on cookies and shoot roy rogers out of my nose, but when I want a video that is honest true to facts, heart felt with just the right amount comedy and is infromative, I watch your channel. You have added many games to my library of roms. Thank you and keep it up.

[@BAR-ct7ti]

Bought this at Babbage's on the clearance shelf back in the mid 90's

[@razor8717]

Love this game brings back memories of the 90s

[@Nuggtendo]

That beginning was surprisingly dark

[@LorenHelgeson]

This was a game I got countless hours of fun out of as a kid. The one big gripe I had was that because the Sardinis tend to run back and forth between a set number of rooms, your chances of entering some of the more interesting rooms (like the garage in the first house) are very limited. That end boss fight is a complete joke, too. Accuracy is not one of this game's strongest points, and you somehow need to be spot-on with your shots.

[@ianfitzpatrick6]

Great review Pat, enjoyed frank in there also.
