[@tollban]

Will give it a try. Though I don' t like the timing element. I think these games are made for relaxing and thinking, not for hurrying.

[@electricmastro]

I agree to an extent, as I think there wouldn't be as much challenge if you had all the time in the world to solve the puzzles, but I can still see what you mean.

[@doggycharly150]

one of the most original concepts in a video game ever, love this game! you should check the sequel called "One step beyond" but it is only for Amiga & DOS

[@stuartcollins7616]

Just wait until you find out that they made a board game sequel to this called "Dominoes"! 'Malcolm in the Middle' even did a whole episode about it...

[@randomrob3715]

Quavers are awesome! You Americans would love them. Lol. Cheesy, crunchy goodness.

[@Shinobi33]

They look like Munchos. A really airy salty chip(crisp). Decent. Maybe you get them over there.

[@JSchaffer214]

@@Shinobi33 That's exactly what I thought they look like too. I like Munchos for the most part but they've got too much salt on them imo.

[@Shinobi33]

@@JSchaffer214 yea they're not an everyday consumption. Good with a nice lager.

[@joshd9399]

I used to have this game as a kid, it was actually the only snes game my dad would play. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@ExtremeWreck]

Dang, he wouldn't even play Super Mario World even? Well, I guess you can say this game at least had a periphery demographic of some kind.

[@actualzafra]

@@ExtremeWreck something about dads and their specific taste in videogames. My dad was no gamer either, but I often saw him playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on our old Mega Drive and everytime he chose Sektor as his character. Go figure.

[@ExtremeWreck]

@@actualzafra My dad played a lot of Madden & Tecmo Super Bowl back in the day.

[@Larry]

Quavers are made from corn :)

[@hakonhegli4718]

I’ve played this game, and I must say that I really like it. It’s so unique, it has got nice music and visuals, and the flaws you mentioned (time limit, domino distinguishing and controls) don’t bother me. I didn’t find the controls at all confusing. To push a domino, push up then either the right or left circular button. No fore- or background, actually. To me, I got used to differentiating between the dominos fairly quickly, and you can still play the stages after the time limit is up, but you can’t complete them. So once you figure out the solution, just reset the stage to complete it in the time limit. All in all, this game is pretty good, in my opinion.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Looks like a fun game, thanks again for the video.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

I remember seeing screenshots of this in a gaming magazine, it's somehow less visually impressive in motion. It's a really neat puzzle idea, though. And I had Krusty's Super Fun House on the Mega Drive 😄 I loved it, but it was way too hard to complete.

[@RickinBaltimore]

I somehow had a copy of this on DOS and it was the UK version (in the US!)

[@MrJoosebawks]

You should check out Little Magic for SFC. Another single screen puzzle game. I was kind of bored with it at first, but then the difficulty rose to the perfect level for me and I couldn't put it down. There's a suprising amount of strategy, timing and subtlety in simple game.

[@roy4173]

I have been binge watching your videos. Thanks for taking me back through memory lane.

[@SNESdrunk]

Thanks for taking the time to watch

[@platinumdynamite]

Great game, mad difficult at times. The only unenjoyable element is the live puzzles where you have to hurry to set up a puzzle, the controls begin to get sticky.

[@cfinchyy6575]

I still own this game from when I was a kid, and I have NO idea where it came from, lol. Maybe some bad trade

[@typicalhuman5833]

Chris Finch I traded a Mega Man X for a Zelda LTTP when I was a kid, never knew who got the better deal

[@cfinchyy6575]

Francisco Contreras Loya Yeah thats a tough one as a kid, but I say you definitely won in the long run with LTTP. So much replay value, even to this day.

[@typicalhuman5833]

Chris Finch it's weird because LTTP is still very cheap in Mexico, and Mega Man X it's hard to come by, but purely for the game, I agree Zelda has better replay value

[@typicalhuman5833]

Depressed Kitten I agree, Zelda is longer also so I got more invested in the environment and music, Mega Man is too short and neither have good story. Gameplay is solid on both though.

[@turdchurner4012]

I remember always seeing this game at the video rental stores and overlooking because I thought it was like the Lemmings. Now I like the Lemmings. Box art looks like Rocko's Modern Life.

[@CarozQH]

The color scheme of the blocks most likely resulted from this game being developed for the Atari ST. The ST can only have 16 colours on screen at the same time, and if you don't use too many different colours, and instead use different shades of few colours, the game becomes much nicer to look at.

[@badATchaos]

They probably went with stripes and not just solid colors for the benefit of colorblind individuals. You see that a lot in falling block puzzle games where they use different shapes or patterns instead of just colors.

[@SNESdrunk]

Good call

[@electricmastro]

Also heard that the Amiga had only a limited number of colors to work with, so I guess it seemed more beneficial to make designs as opposed to just sticking with solid colors.

[@badATchaos]

Ahh yeah. Very good point.

[@MikeSandersonVideos]

Keep up the awesome work matey

[@TalonTheRetroGamer]

Looks pretty fun, I’ll have to pick it up.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

I remember this franchise sponsorship with quavers! ~ i was on gamesmaster live at the time! 1992

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

amiga games remind me of atari lynx, which actually was created as a system by amiga developers...but yeah, games like these play like computer games. i don't ever remember seeing a frenetic action game like gunstar heroes on the amiga...or tandy (yay radio shack!)

[@SECONDQUEST]

Played this back in the day, it pretty cool.

[@jasonz7788]

Thanks for the great work Sir

[@kiriloff07]

I finished that game on snes 20 years ago... good memories

[@Ryuhei64]

I remember this game was heavily advertised in game magazines in Europe. Did it sell well?

[@AlexVazco]

Lmao that tumblr joke, priceless

[@raen3042]

i loved this game as a kid

[@BADC0FFEE]

I had this game on my 286, ega graphics, and I frigging loved it

[@atomattacker0670]

Filthy pc clone owner! Amiga was the best computer ever!

[@thunderchild1083]

The Sega versions were also sponsored by Quavers, I had this game as a child and no one I know now has ever heard of it unless they’ve seen a video on KZbin or somewhere else on the internet

[@siggenis]

Pushover rocks!!! I remember playing it in the mid to late 90s on the SNES!!! Man, talk about flash backs!!

[@13lood13ath]

As someone who grew up with domino rally, this is amazing!

[@madspunky]

Great research!

[@ot4_retrogaming]

looks really great, i love puzzle games! but why does it even need a timelimt?

[@berealsupportive2744]

I never even heard of this one yet that is so odd since I know the snes very well lol

[@hamstrungharry259]

What the hell. I played this games many many years ago on the Amiga. Holy shit memories.

[@billschlafly4107]

Yet another great game that I found on my everdrive.

[@Ramjet164]

Quavers are lovely!

[@glowingfish]

I would say that puzzle games probably age better than any other genre.

[@jannesimojoki]

Game suggestion: The Adventures of Kid Kleets a.k.a. Soccer Kid. I remember playing the game as a kid and loving it, but hasn't played after that. Would be nice to hear your thoughts: is the game worth playing.

[@jeffcox6539]

The walkers logo looks like the lay's logo.

[@kaneda4102]

Quavers- you do not know what you’re missing. Best snack ever.

[@ElBloeTigre]

I hate them. You need to eat the whole multipack to feel satisfied and afterwards you feel guilty for eating 6 bags of crisps.

[@zayaannashrid1374]

Wow, that sick ass Tumblr Burn. Wow

[@cabrondemente1]

"It keeps going until hitting a stopper block or falling off a ledge" A pretty accurate description for the average angsty teenager.

[@Akinohotarubi]

That part made me chuckle.

[@HoursFreeAOLsp]

Hey Mr.Drunk thanks.

[@ElBloeTigre]

I just got this on GOG. Childhood wish fulfilment.

[@poopshootpoop7531]

The cover art reminds me of Rockos Modern Life

[@FolkLaurr]

Do one ken griffey jr. That game was huge backj in the day. The home run dirby was so addictive.

[@pepperachu]

The box art reminds me of rockos modern life

[@LilReikoGold]

I haven't played puzzle games on the snes for so long

[@pedrosvlog1183]

Can you do a top 30 geneses and snes games.

[@71dembonesTV]

Wow this looks cool hope it's not too pricy

[@BADC0FFEE]

another one that is even better than this one is Troddlers, fantastic puzzle game that is basically lemmings meets solomon's key

[@Froge0]

Quavers are dope

[@EmperorMAR]

I came to this video because I couldn't figure out the controls 😂 but the game seemed unique enough to learn them

[@pulphope]

Check out Wild Snakes

[@belfeghost]

Which SNES Tetris games are worth playing today?

[@greyclouds6052]

I used to be a push over. But once I got a job in construction, I was the one pushing people.

[@cubegame]

Quavers are the bomb

[@OuhPii]

1:55 lol

[@sebytheman]

1- great video as always 2- wtf what time is it what kind of drunk are you are you just, STILL up or do you have auto uploads?!

[@SNESdrunk]

Scheduled uploads

[@sebytheman]

very sensible.

[@nugboy420]

Yea I be watching this a second maybe third time haha

[@marlonadams5860]

Quavers are the best crisps here in the UK,still!!!

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Definitely!

[@sockpuppet187]

Nice & Spicy Nik Naks all the way!

[@marlonadams5860]

Tea&Crumpets They're lush aswell. :)

[@randomrob3715]

Fuck yeah!! Quavers rule

[@duffman18]

Nah mate nothing beats McCoy's

[@Sam-ju7nd]

I love Quavers

[@NightRanma]

I'd never heard of this game before. It does look interesting but I agree the domino's need more colours to make it easier to tell which is which

[@DEIVION212]

I used to love this game as a kid but I tried it recently and was sick of it. Amiga version was the best because of quavers and they’re amazing.

[@woodeyelyegaming1401]

I would be ordering this game rite now if it didn't have the time limit! It looks fun as he'll but I don't like being stressed out by time limits.

[@marklrc]

I remember my parents renting this for the weekend when I was 6 and found it way too complicated.

[@billbaltas]

Hulkamaniac! Hahaha!

[@chrisjohnson9121]

Yo, are you planning on getting a Super NT?

[@SNESdrunk]

Already have one

[@chrisjohnson9121]

Nice dude. Mine should be shipping tomorrow.

[@typicalhuman5833]

If you skip through the videos and listen to all the "Snes drunk" intro thing it's pretty funny.

[@SNESdrunk]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqjanGmffdyBjLs

[@typicalhuman5833]

SNES drunk Hahahaha good I'm not the only idiot

[@Jayce_Alexander]

1. You can really spot Amiga games on the SNES and Genesis from about a mile away. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, but it's definitely a thing. 2. Making fun of Tumblrinas will always earn you a thumbs up with me.

[@johnsimon8457]

Jayce is it the color palette? Graphics are usually brighter but a bit flatter in design

[@kaneda4102]

I know what your saying, although the reason I got a SNES in the first place was for Japanese game design. The western games that tried to be big ip’s never felt as accomplished.

[@whyishoudini]

Needs an improvement hack!

[@jeffreyposs751]

You've got a lot of patience to play something like this. Lord knows I wouldn't. :/

[@mrjotz]

I've never even heard of this game.

[@appoxx]

This looks weird will give it a go

[@danielhunt5007]

Think Monkey Ball, but dominoes.

[@SonofTiamat]

I think time should've been unlimited, but you got a higher score by completing a level faster, and a higher score is necessary to progress to harder levels. I hate time limits.

[@rars0n]

This game sounds cool, but the yellow and red colors (bad enough they used them on all the dominoes, but then they had to go and put it into the levels themselves, ugh) really kills my interest in it.

[@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy]

G. I. ant = Army ant

[@Korncakes1]

I laughed so hard at your Tumblr joke that I had to pause the video so I wouldn’t miss anything, that was too good. Also I’m going to check this game out provided that it’s not obscenely expensive. It seems really interesting.

[@cm70707]

It's like you need a walkthrough to get through this game which sucks for a puzzle game

[@Shinobi33]

How do you go from Quavers to rats stealing your money? Lol

[@dstaple3]

Your Tumblr joke is top notch

[@DSan-kl2yc]

It's not worth playing because of Hulkamania

[@CFalcon030]

I prefer Push Over II. I would never imagine Red Rat releasing something on the SNES.

[@doggycharly150]

Pushover II? you mean one step beyond? that is almost an entirely different game, sadly not for super nintendo (or any home console), I guess pushover did not sell well enough to consider porting the sequel...

[@CFalcon030]

Yes, I mean One Step Beyond. Well, it's a puzzle platformer as well. I just like the puzzles more and it has some good platforming.

[@ChaunceyGardener]

Screw this convoluted european thing. Gotta play Power Soukoban instead.

[@josephhuffman2757]

Game sounds too hard to be considered a push over

[@kekeke8988]

This looks like complete trash. At a glance, I can immediately answer NOPE.

[@DadBod3000]

This game was shit.. I used to hate it

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

I'm sorry but this game is really ugly. I've played far more graphically simple games that looked much better than this. And yeah the monochrome color scheme for the dominoes is just bad. In my opinion, going abstract and simplistic is the best way to style a pure puzzle game.
