Can't wait for some movie company to kickstart the Boogerman Cinematic Universe!

[@SNESdrunk]

Daniel Day Lewis IS Boogerman

[@Dontcare_at_all]

Total sell out flick....nothings better then the manga...oh wait...

We already have something like that, it’s called the MARVEL cinematic universe.

The part where Earthworm Jim shows up in Boogerman 3: Inpickity War was sick

[@SuperDerek]

Played this to death on the Genesis back in the day, and even ended up beating it. It was definitely a gross-out humor sorta game, which was totally a thing in the 90's. I do remember it was hard as balls though.

[@SuperDerek]

Dad, get off the Internet.

[@todaysdesperadohatesavocad7109]

SuperDerek RPGs Wow, it's great to see you around on other videos! Love your channel, bud! Just wanted to let you know. Definitely helped me pick a few games to emulate on my tablet while travelling and introduced me to some amazing gems I'd never known about. Thanks!

[@Saberwaisen]

It's not that hard, is a real medium difficulty.

[@elgatofelix8917]

This game is as 90s as it gets! Shame I never got to play it though. My parents would never buy a game called "Boogerman"

[@nsasupporter7557]

Another game that was hard as balls was the Toy Story video game 😳

[@sycofya1677]

This and earthworm jim were some of my favorite

[@bterp7947]

You are absolutely right, I did love this game when I was 10. Probably still would love it at 33 but that's just me. I loved the comic style origin story the game opens up with of how he was just a regular janitor by day... classic gem for me since not many people I've met can remember this game. If you played it I'm pretty sure you would remember lol. Thank you for this great video.

[@DeckyStrikesBack]

This game came out when I was ten. Therefore, it was the funniest thing of all time.

[@bouncyrobots2658]

still super hilarious to me and im 35 lol. those fart animations are funny. And the way he eats his booger and then being embarassed of it is goddamn hilarious :D

When i started collecting, boogerman was one of the first i got. I love this game. Plus a lot of nostalgia plays a part. Same with aaaahhhh real monsters.

[@GoOKuSj33]

Man i played the shit ouf of this as a kid, Me and my dad must have finished this at least 3 times, we loved it.

[@thebri2000]

Sartre's philosophy made Boogerman possible.

[@torgogorgo1888]

Ampthetamine had a big part in making Sartre possible, no doubt something similar aided Boogerman's creation

[@kellykoesling9309]

This is a great game to play with younger children. My 6 yo and 3 yo will literally roll on the floor laughing. It nostalgic for me so I enjoy playing it for their amusement also. Obviously with a game called Boogerman and being made in the 90s it's going to go overboard on the gross out humor. Honestly it does what it set out to do pretty well.

[@Dorelaxen]

One of the VERY few times I prefer the Genesis version over the SNES. I once heard the game being described as a "game much like Aladdin, but with farts and toilets." Pretty accurate if you ask me.

[@Ramjet164]

Dorelaxen if there's very few games you prefer the genesis version, you're not playing enough genesis. It a pretty even split.

[@Dorelaxen]

I've played hundreds of Genesis games. Rarely do they compare to their SNES counterparts, for me at least. While I love the tinny Genesis sound, the sound on the SNES is usually SO much better. Boogerman is a rare exception to that. In fact, my Genesis collection is substantially larger than my SNES one, and the Phantasy Star series is my all time favorite RPG.

[@Ramjet164]

Dorelaxen it's funny I'd say that there's generally much more bass on the megadrive, but it's sound is tinny sort of on the mid range so I get what you're saying. The extra processing speed makes a hell of a lot of games better to play on the megadrive imo. Even if they mostly look worse (colour being the general issue). Each to their own I suppose.

[@Cazz8203]

Oh wtf I'm 35 and this game is still just as hilarious as the day it came out

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

Dang. Nice shout out to Jean-Paul Sartre.

[@diebesgrab]

I had a Sega Visions issue that had a feature on Boogerman when I was like 8, and I wanted this game so bad. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t really be able to appreciate it anymore, but there’s a part of me that wants to play it just to satisfy 8-year-old me’s ambitions.

[@royowen8118]

I'd recommend still playing it. The amount of attention to detail and creativity that compose this game are awesome. I still see it as a brilliant piece of art!

[@joshuasnyder5404]

My inner 10 year old says, "yes! Buy this." My current self (at age 32) says, wtf, no!"

[@justpaul899]

I've always been curious how old you were- glad to see we're from the same generation.

[@chrisdavidson6507]

One of the things not discussed in SNES/Mega Drive comparisons is the resolution of the games. Actual resolution doesn't need to be mentioned but the Mega Drive gets more screen real estate in some games like this and Cool Spot. Meaning you can see more and are more aware of incoming enemies or obstacles.

[@ekstrajohn]

Oh wow I used to play this game a lot in the 90s and I completely forgot about it. It was awesome fun! Nice request and great review. :)

[@testshietchannel]

Farts. The only subject matter you laugh about at age 8 and at age 80 :D

[@greysky1252]

You get more farts than what you bargained for at 80.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Oh my god, this was our favourite game as kids, I completely forgot this game existed 😂😂😂

I loved this game as a kid. It's dumb but it's decently fun. Not worth an expensive price tag though

[@WendyMcCleskey]

I was 4 when this came out.. That's insane. Like the quality isn't bad at all for being such an old game.

[@rmr5184]

Thanks for another great review! Never heard about this game but looks somehow funny:)

[@MaximusWolfe]

If you don't "have an inner 10 year old" winning out then you suck at life. "By the mouths of babes and sucklings God hath perfected praise." "Unless ye be like a child you shall not enter paradise." I feel nothing but pity for 30 and 40 year old's who think that obliviousness to the hilarity of bodily functions is the mark of adulthood and sagacity. You lot can shit up a rope. Children, in many ways, enjoy life in ways that even the most hard bitten, wet blanket adults envy with every fiber of their being. Be like a child and regain the joy of life. Gorge yourself on the simple wisdom that kids lay hold imperceptibly; that so many haughty, educated "grown ups" have squandered in their search for respect. I love this game. It makes me feel like a kid (I'm 40) and reminds that life is taken way too seriously by the extreme majority of zombied, pathologically unhappy adults.

[@HabanyGaming]

I wear thick nostalgia goggles on this one. As a kid, I could play it over and over again. Of course, burps and farts and boogers are endlessly funny to a grade school boy.

[@goldielocksetx]

If? I’m watching videos of a guy reviewing video games at 5pm on a Saturday. I’ve totally got an inner 10 year old.

Well Sartre wasn't a games developer; he was a critic. I thought he reviewed Boogerman in his book, La Nausée (nausea).

[@Holden0021]

But seriously, it's not disgusting because of cartoonish style.

[@TheVonzilla]

BOOGERMAN FOR SMASH!!!!!!!!!!! #Boogerman4Smash

[@IIIININ9IIII]

I remember renting this once as a kid and besides the burping and farting attacks, the one thing that stood out to me was finding an item (possibly a chili pepper IIRC) that allows you to fly around for a short period of time while shooting fire out of your ass, complete with rapid fire fart noises lol... Juvenile as this game seems to me now, the first time I witnessed that at age 8 or so, I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous it was. Whoever conceptualized that during development definitely earned their dollar that day haha

[@JamieBainbridge]

You talk about the boogers and farts like it's a problem? Hahaha

[@ERMediaOfficial]

[@pongopeter3089]

I first had this on the Sega Genesis. I got it off of eBay with the Sega Nomad in 2005. Then, due to the game crashing I was able to replace that with the Wii virtual console version, which I transferred to the Wii-U...and then stopped playing it for some reason. I'm planning to get another copy for the Sega Genesis on Amazon if I'm lucky! BTW, I don't mind the "Gross" humor and I never did.

[@8aemr]

Amazing game. Played it when i was 8 and, honestly, i used to feel more disgusted about the game than i do today. Theme is not really a game breaker.

[@shaggydee91]

thankz FlappyKat! hahaha I only played the Genesis version

[@koopakape]

Perfect review for this. Yeah, it's got tons of objectively positive aspects, the amount of detail, imagination and obvious TLC (bizarrely enough) put into all the graphics and spritework is pretty insane, and as a game at its base-level it's really very solid and fun to play (once you get past your limited ammo for all your attacks). But the theme... dear God, the theme. Again, I can commend them for really sticking to it and going all-out, just absolutely wringing every drop out of the gross-out craze, and honestly for the mid-90s the appeal was definitely there for young boys at the time that were the biggest console-owning demographic. But man, even when I was IN that demographic at the time of release it was eyeroll-inducingly overkill and as an adult it's even harder to put up with it. So pretty much I have the exact same sentiments and I daresay most people who've played it probably do as well.

[@nathanielyoungman4454]

I appreciate going all in on a theme. It IS called boogerman, after all.

[@goodfeathasoutdoors6410]

Hey @snesdrunk how about a Unicycles game review?. I used to love that game, picked it up for like $8 bucks back in the day. Thanks for all your hard work great job.

I rented this game a lot when I was a kid. I remember it being pretty difficult. Unfortunately I played it on SNES

[@torgogorgo1888]

Have it on SNES, but want to get the genesis version and trade the SNES version, although it feels a bit funnier having it on SNES considering the content and Nintendo's puritanical image (especially back then with censorship). I trade a funky ps2 towards my copy because it's fairly uncommon and it's so childish in it's humour that it's amusing to me that it was even made, the fact that its a decent platformer is a bit of a bonus

[@denimchicken104]

Quit acting like you’re too sophisticated to appreciate toilet humor. The fact that there is a game that revolves entirely around boogers and farts is A TREASURE. It being pretty decent is a nice bonus as well.

[@Xanatos21]

Well, what do you expect? Of course, this game's gross-out humor is very in-your-face. I mean, it WAS made in the 90's when gross-out humor was very popular with cartoon shows like "Ren & Stimpy", "Rocko's Modern Life", and "Cow & Chicken". Hell, even "Earthbound" (one of the greatest RPGs of all time) consisted of plenty of in-your-face gross-out humor (e.g. a gigantic puddle of green puke that makes barfing and belching noises prior to you having to fight it in order to advance further). Nintendo Power Magazine also threw in plenty of in-your-face gross-out humor for some of their advertisements for other games besides Earthbound. So yeah, in-your-face gross-out humor was one of the biggest themes of the 90's. Still a great review, though! I always enjoy watching your videos SNES drunk! Looking forward to more! :)

The Genesis version of Boogerman has a "MA-13" rating because it features more potty humor.

[@shannonnezul4903]

Why do I get the same development vibes as Agony the horror game? Too much of something usually just makes you wanna put it down. (Although Agony was interesting to me as the real "horror " is that you can legitimately become desensitized to what's involved)
