Abobo's Big Adventure (PC) Part 2 - James & Mike Mondays

[@NickPasto]

Hey Cinemassacre guys, thanks for checking the game out! I'm Nick, the programmer behind Abobo's Big Adventure and I can't tell you how much fun it is to watch people like you play the game and actually connect with it in such a genuine way. We made this game for our generation that grew up in the 80s and for whom the NES was a huge part of our lives. It really is our love letter to an era and it looks like it was extremely well-received by you two. If you ever want to get together and collaborate on something, I think I can speak for Roger and Pox in saying we'd love to do it! Thanks again for giving the game a chance, I was sincerely laughing out loud along with you while you played :-D

[@VahanNisanian]

Do you know if there ever will be a sequel? I want there to be one! Your game was great!

[@NickPasto]

Never say never!

[@frostare]

Man great job, just over the last week I became immersed into finding out the great minds behind this gem.

[@NickPasto]

Me: PestoForce, Roger: I-Mockery, and Louis: Poxpower are the creators... "Buy all our playsets and toys!"

[@frostare]

And thanks a lot for shedding some light to Dragon Quest/Warrior. We're kinda desperate to have more of those games brought West and even the shoddiest Slime helps. (which isn't the NES one, that one's classic) =P

[@rogerbarr]

Thanks again for playing our game, guys! Loved seeing James & Mike react to everything, especially the big ending sequence! Put a big smile on my face to see you two having so much fun with it!

[@Nyah420]

Kudos on making such an amazing homage to the NES.

[@amrgames00]

I Love Your Games!😀

[@danobelelement7828]

I wish u would of made it a lil harder for instance when James died fighting the Amazon he should of started over

[@ohjoymuffins391]

Awesome game!

[@davideduardogonzalezcaball3364]

Is this game on any console?

[@WolfNova1]

One of the best james and mike mondays

[@bliuzke]

Eduardo Robles I agree !

[@jondoe2110]

Eduardo Robles a lot of that has to do with the choice of the game , I only discovered it last week thanx to them and I've put several hours in it since, such a fun parody to play for people our age and others too.

[@wildmanfisher]

I was just gonna comment, this is such a fun episode!

[@Wilson-0077]

Probably the best so far

[@updawg2]

I was hoping the ending involved landing the plane from Top Gun.

[@z3roo0]

1:23 he throws Dr.Wily on the wall and explodes and they don't even mention it?

[@Hurricanelive]

Now they need a sequel with Aboboy rescuing his dad based on the SNES

[@HighFalutinTootin]

I think there is more to explore in the nes world like castlevainia levels jackal 1943 and on and on

[@rossmadibo]

The glare in your eyes as you played through this was priceless. This game is what you guys are all about, shout out to the team who developed it. One of the best episodes ever :D

[@dcrane1990]

CORRECTION: This is the best James and Mike Mondays so far. It's a bold statement, I know, but I believe this is a tribute to everything and everything that Cinemassacre stands for. Amazing episode. I never laughed so hard, and I wish I was right there with them for that experience. lol

James, the Giant Squid Kirby just barfed is Gezora, the most obscure monster of Godzilla's franchise

[@frostare]

Thanks for that! I was kinda forgetting too

[@shark_vii]

Peucoman Yes! The whole time I was yelling in excitement, "It's Gezora, James! Godzilla NES! Space Amoeba!".

[@ConstantineFurman]

More obscure than Shokilas, the giant sea louse?

sarysa it's a few years old. Play it!

[@muhanc.a.9299]

You cannot see how great this game is until you play it. A real tribute to the NES, no, A love letter to the generation that grew with the NES. That -little- Big Mac is such a pain in the ass but with a little bit of patient and practice he can be defeated and when you beat that M.F. I can't describe the feeling of accomplishment, is like what James said: (...) I'm just like numbed (...) Damn I have to give it another try to see what else I can find. BTW in the double dragon stage where you fight the Lindas if you walk between the pipes in the right wall (in front of the elevators) you will go up and find a weird secret room.

[@PolarPhantom]

I don't think you guys have ever enjoyed a game more. And yes. This game is that good.

[@NickPasto]

Nice user icon! :-D

[@PolarPhantom]

Nick Pasto I see you understood that reference.

[@NickPasto]

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Watching you guys play that game was so much fun. Next best thing to hanging out with friends playing the game for real.

[@ErwalDeeas]

Watching you two play this game never gets old. Thanks!

[@wilderkincaid6560]

Before the internet existed, all our game news and tips came from kids at recess. This is the kind of game kids would have lied about existing because there was no way to find out for sure. "And the final boss is Little Mac and you punch his head off and it gets impaled on Mario's flagpole." Yeah right...

[@grouchotrout444]

Long time watcher and relatively long time subscriber. Just HAD to say - you guise effin rock. I don't think I have to tell you all how much I appreciate the real and genuine love for what you all do. Verily, I say unto thee, tis the very secret of thou success! Mad proppers!

I had more fun watching you guys play this than I would myself! What an EPIC ending!

[@DragoonBB]

what a terrible night for a kickass dream

[@MajorDoggo]

Talk about an epic adventure through the NES classics. It is pretty apparent from this game that the developers had a true passion for the NES. James and Mike's candid appreciation for the experience is testament to that.

[@VahanNisanian]

Play the bonus Aboboy game next!

[@silverice1143]

when a new james and mike comes out, a little part of me is reborn inside

[@davidandrew3006]

Now you'll have to make a part 3, where you justify as to why you've never played this before.

[@jondoe2110]

David Andrew no kidding! I only found out about it last week thanks to them, better late than never I guess, I heard a bit on the net about a sequel to it also, that would be epic.

[@JonCundiff]

I loved seeing you two so happy playing this! It made me happy as well seeing you be brought back to your childhoods!

[@AaronRpsychology]

the word: "epic", was made for this game! 😃

[@dylanstakely]

One of the best games for James and Mike, and two of the best episodes of J&M Mondays.

[@SmashTom]

Holy shit that ending! I'm still in tears of laughter XD You guys should definitely come back to this game and find all the secrets though. You missed quite a few!

There just not gonna say anything about Robobobo throwing Dr. Wily at you?

[@wolveskriegfeuersturm1297]

Plus you guys unlocked a level that gives an ever further tribute to the generation we grew up in involving the Never Ending Story. Really great game, only adverse thing I can state is the Pox individual who helped make some of the pixel Art, though talented, is a total egotistical git, but just like some of our famous musicians, meeting someone can, in person change one's opinion of them, no matter how skilled they are. Still, this is a damn solid tribute, a roller coaster of nostalgia. Been a while since I met him, who knows maybe he's a bit more personable.

If you liked this you should try Charles Barkley:Shut Up and Jam Gaiden,or Domo-Kun's Angry Smash Fest.

[@Horzuhammer]

One of the best episodes so far definetely. The game is something beyond awesome. Such a trip for Nes-fanatics like you and me. Didn't see many characters that I didn't recognize, and my reactions were about the same as yours. :D James has a very interesting style playing with the keyboard. Respects for beating the game without a gamepad. As someone who's played around with emulators in the days before pc-gamepads were common I can tell from experience that playing these kinda games with a kbd isn't the most natural thing in the world.

[@devilmikey00]

I don't think you've played a PC game in the last 15 years because basically all of them use WASD for movement. Still his crisscross hands seemed entirely pointless lol I guess whatever feels comfortable.

[@jekblom123]

devilmikey00 I never fucking understood the stupid ass backwards wasd thing. Its even less ergonomic with all the other keys crowded around it, the arrow keys are usually spaced at least a little bit apart from everything else, they're completely arbitrary aside from the fact that they're together, 'w' is slightly askew from the other 3 inputs making it more awkward to hold your fingers over, Why wasd? Why not esdf? or szxc? or tfgh? or 3wer? or qpzm? Or Esc Ctrl Shift Pgdn? Or something even MORE inconvenient?? Whats the relevance of w a s and d in particular?? This control scheme baffled me as kid when my friend showed me. There's 4 perfectly assigned up, down, left, and right arrows right there on the keyboard away from everything else specifically for you to use and you choose to use these completely random keys off the center of the keyboard.... What? WHAT?? When you pick up a controller do you prefer to hold it upside down because you prefer the uncomfortable awkward buttons instead of something that makes sense and was designed with the human hands in mind to be optimal for control? I asked my friend this and all he had to explain was 'oh well it's on the left'... It took me a little while to understand what the hell that had anything to do anything, then I realized that the directional pad on controllers is always on the left side. I said to myself "are you mother fucking kidding me." apparently gamers are SO handicapped with controls that they would rather assign this random uncomfortable placement of keys to directions instead of the ACTUAL FUCKING DIRECTION *KEYS*. You don't even use your thumb on a keyboard for movement like you do on a controller so WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MATTER? Does this mean that when you drive you only have one dominant hand that can steer the car? And if you have to drive an automatic with your right hand then you're fucked?? God dammit...This is part of the reason I got turned off of pc gaming back then. if I had to remap another fucking control input for a game...
