I Played The FIRST EVER TROLL Game...

Have you ever wondered where TROLL games got their origin? Where did games like Syobon Action (Cat Mario) and I Wanna Be The Guy get their inspiration from? Well from the 5 minutes of research that I did, apparently THIS game, "The Big Adventure of Owata's Life" is the very first troll game to appear on the internet. How does it stack up all these years later? Let's find out!

This feels like a cliffhanger horror movie type moment. We NEED to see you defeat this thing...

[@DGR_Dave]

Stay tuned 👀

[@Shisizle]

@@DGR_Dave Don't worry guys, any day now.

[@snipp8871]

Ik this is corny but I just genuinely wanna thank Dave for always being so wholesome and genuine. I remember one time he accidentally swore and didnt cut it out, and he had the most sincere heartfelt apology. He's genuinely such a great guy and I love escaping into this world. We love you Uncle DGR!

[@saulrex_]

aye which video did he swear accidentally?

[@snipp8871]

You've forgot that DGR is actualy racist, yes he look nice and all but deep down he isn't a nice person at all he just look like one to look good, If you don't believe me then check how he treat Boom Boom, racism against Boom Boom is not tolerated. Boom Boom lives matter dood.

[@vawx-]

Just watched the whole completion of this game, the game it's nuts and actually pretty good. It's technically metroidvania with a lot of trolls and unfair bosses.

I remember playing this when it came out and ragequitting after 20 minutes. That man has patience.

There is a fine line between patience and stubborn stupidity. Sometimes I'm not sure which side of the line I walk 🤣

[@RoninCatholic]

Takeshi's Challenge is also a troll game, which wasn't a fan made passion project but a professionally developed and published Famicom game.

[@kattphive]

Apparently, you were supposed to not let that guy drink the E tank, get close and shoot him a bunch while he's drinking

[@SprintMaster91]

If you just waited a bit longer after each charged shot you may have beaten the boss. Looks like most of your deaths were from the 2 shots after the charged shot. The other attacks have really simple patterns so as long as you stay grounded and only jump when necessary you should beat the boss easy!

[@CybeastID]

Random fun fact: THIS GAME INSPIRED I WANNA BE THE GUY while it was still in BETA. And its final area is a REFERENCE to IWBTG.

[@TheOmegaDragon]

I'm usually a non-believer but, for this particular mirror match I really was pulling for you to win. I'm actually quite genuinely sad he curb stomped you.

[@AlexEEZ]

This isn't a troll game, this is psychological torture.

[@Musicguyperson]

it wasn't "trolling" at the time, it was "deception"

[@mickgorro]

And it still is "damashi" in Japanese to this day :).

[@TheRealRidley12]

What's the difference? 😆

[@TheRealRidley12]

@@mickgorro What does "damashi" mean?

[@mickgorro]

@@TheRealRidley12 Damasu means to deceive, damashi is deception. It's used in a lot of SMM2 level titles, which is where I learnt the word.

I Wanna Be The Guy came first. There is a callback to it in the NG+ when you beat the Owata game.

Rumor has it that Miyazaki played this game, making it the true inspiration of all of soulsborne and elden ring.

[@Lightgazer]

i remember this stream (on twitch, go check him out!). i'm delighted to see this. but the question is, as i load this, was a death compilation ever made? i shall see! thanks for the laughs dave :)

Thank you dgr for all of the amazing videos that you somehow make daily :)

[@oshenwave1128]

It's funny reading the chat and realizing that many people have no experience with ASCII art.

[@mike1024.]

This generation doesn't understand emoticons either. ;-)

[@mulone-the-cool-guy]

i couldnt see the thumbnail cuz it was too small, but when i saw its the adventure of owatas life, i was prepared for chaos.

[@cool-128]

the weirdest troll i came up with: the paranoia troll (or paranoid troll) how it works is you label something clearly as a troll, and make the 1st part troll, but then everything after that point will not be trolls and will cause them a bit of paranoia or something, then on the last stage when they least expect it put a troll there perfect troll for a friend you troll all the time

[@cool-128]

forgot to mention it is a version of the original paranoia troll made by some minecraft youtuber to troll a professional troll dodger by making them lose their minds by paranoia and stuff, but i made it less cold-hearted than the original

[@thetophatguyandroid5959]

[@paulgales8211]

You can kill the mirror fight before he drinks the energy tank if you get close and shoot him before he does.

[@mike1024.]

Day 51 of asking Dave to make an official announcement regarding the Mariothon recap.

[@sanjyuu2298]

I went to watch a playthrough of this game and the person playing this game killed that boss by shooting front of him when he tried to drink that extra life (you have to face him when taking his last HP point and propably be close enough to hit him before he drink it). Who would thought :)

[@jonathanalanratcliff]

Somehow I had completely forgotten playing this game. Kind of amazing that all this started with a mega man troll game.

I have a troll level for you to play. I know what your probably thinking Dave, “Some little annoying kid submitting a troll level” but this troll level has been played by seven smaller streamers, one took 4 streams to beat it, the other took 10.

What year did it come out?

[@Megalopros]

Does anyone know of a comprehensive timeline regarding this game?, for what i could gather the game got released on 2006 and its last version is labeled as 1.091, which features an IWBTG section (game that released on 2007) in which you free the kid on a kirby-themed battle, so i am quite lost as to what inspired what now. The IWBTG dev did say he was inspired by owata, but that last boss section makes me think it was included in a newer version as a reference to IWBTG (so it becomes this weird reference loop), but that's just my speculation, does anyone know for sure?, does a 1.0 version of owata exist out there?
