[@Apophis324]

I couldn's stop laughing when I saw Mike transform into an arcade machine at 2:10 :P

[@JustinEvitable80]

James and Arcade Mondays

[@DreadfulNedburns]

"I feel so bad for these people, they're already being tortured -" "LOOK THERE'S A GUY TIED UP AND THERE'S AN ALLIGATOR!"

[@NitroRad]

I just looked at some footage of the arcade game. How the hell did a game like that get made??

[@Severi1996]

Wow, that really is very violent. Actually I'm gonna give a + for that (y)

[@bobbywhitney8026]

Hello

[@Dragon1591]

It was made 8 years before ESRB ratings.

[@NitroRad]

Still, the fact that people made that thinking "yeah this is ok, let's put this in arcades" baffles me. Apparently hardly ANY arcades would accept it, but it ended up being everywhere in third world countries.

[@chimkinNuggz]

NitroRad well this is more excusable than that trucker game that was released in the early 2000's

[@Fat4all]

Waxworks is insane. It's probably one of the most violent games ever made. It's amazing.

[@Bluesit32]

Jesus Christ, that Wax Works game! There's something about that style that is more unsettling than any recent game. It actually reminds me of the art from the three EC horror comics. There was one artist on the team who was very good at making things...drip, be it a candle's melting wax or rotten flesh sliding off a zombie's bones. I think the last name was Ingles or something. His style was so disturbing that his talent at it unsettled him and he eventually quit.

[@starshkr46]

I remember reading about this game in a magazine and being really disturbed just by the descriptions they gave to the stages. Also, I also read somewhere that the development house where the game was made got haunted and got plagued with spiders or something. Really crazy.

[@happytimeharry9ll]

Nothing is more nostalgic then the clack, clack, clack of the controllers.

[@thenightmare2495]

that game waxworks for 1992 holy shit and i will say the game is still gory as hell 25 years later

[@Harperlarp]

So many videos uploaded recently. Thanks for all your work Mike and James!

[@CrabJock]

I had this when I was a little fella. It creeped me out because it was so obscure, and the cartridge was like no other. It was like I found "The Ring" of games. So disappointed that it got lost in my childhood. This and Gargoyle's Quest 2, sought after by collectors, lost.

[@pluvius9265]

In case anyone cares, the message that slowly gets uncovered between levels says "YOU HAVE FOUND EVERY TALISMAN." Mike is right that the covered message shows you exactly what you're supposed to be shooting (the "talismans") in the game's four levels to uncover the message. When you get them all, you go to a pointless bonus stage which is just a bunch of ghost faces floating from the bottom of the screen to the top that you have to shoot.

[@SeboHyatt]

Dude..you watch this too? Sick!!

[@DroppyMcCool]

Angthony Nerdtano

[@SrSacaninha]

What are you doing here, Bandano?

[@franksred1]

you fucking guy

[@SamShadow93]

Do some kind of collab with James and Mike !

[@joeleustice]

Kevin Smith getting killed at around 4:40 ?

[@aNightmaresRequiem]

I was thinking the same thing

[@realogre32]

thats my favorite part

[@Anex952]

no its dspgaming

[@standardofexcellence]

Joel Eustice this is what you get for that last shitty movie

[@grafforlock]

Thanks so much for the bonus videos guys, I look forward to them every week

[@JulienNeel]

I sense this would have made a good AVGN episode. Looks like there's plenty of frustration material.

[@noegomez383]

The reason why the hit detection for the lightguns in Chiller is so poor is because unlike Duck Hunt or The Adventures of Bayou Billy where the "hitboxes" flash white, Chiller's flashes red. So to play at a comfortable level, you'd have to adjust your TV's settings to gaudy brightness and saturation levels.

[@hoesmad3054]

I was born in the 2000s and this game was at the bowling alley. It was extremely nightmare inducing.

[@applescruff1969]

Amazing that they had it for that long.

[@hoesmad3054]

@@applescruff1969 I think they got rid of it around 2006 or 2007 but the fact that the game was there for so long baffles me.

[@Sapphirechao]

Hey James and Mike, ever thought about giving Clock Tower a whirl for next Halloween? It's said to be the grandfather of survival horror games, and probably still holds up today.

[@slickfingarz]

I Played Waxworks in 1992! Scarred me for Life!

[@ChrisDoesTV]

Guys please play waxworks - i think it sounds really interesting

[@dorpth]

Killing the last boss of Waxworks was some of the most brutally violent over the top shit ever.

[@sketchytimes]

I always like how when you guys are referring to something else you show that on screen for a moment, good editing.

[@BigBangBlitz]

Awesome Guilty Gear midi use in this video. Thumbs up for that.

[@nervmeister]

Thought I recognized Eddie's theme.

[@inversephase]

it's actually not a midi; it's redone on the NES: inversephase.bandcamp.com/album/the-midnight-chiptunes

[@TheCRTman]

Exidy was way ahead of their time. They made Death Race in 1976 where you're goal is to run over people (aka gremlins), which was outrageous for the time and then Chiller in 1986.

[@NickLMears]

Thank you for the bonus videos!!!

[@LionSharpAction]

James changed a lot in 10 years.. can tell the years passing but Mike didn't change at all.. looks even younger than before lol

[@P-C-Principle]

This has to be the most violent nes game I’ve seen

[@rickrude23]

Mikes 3 years older than me. That's a surprise he looks very Young for his age

[@ansiaaa]

I played Chiller in a couple of arcades when I was a kid. I loved it so much! still one of the best games I've ever played

[@jasonallard7012]

I played the arcade version in a hotel in Radcliff, KY, circa 1994. It was the only game they had besides a pinball machine.

[@jjc1102]

The Arcade game is so dope! As well as Crossbow and Cheyenne

[@interghost]

Happy Halloween guys thanks for the extra video! ;)

[@ant0ine2]

Waxworks looks like those old horror comics I used to read whenever my dad took me to the barbershop.

[@crisgia]

I messaged you on KZbin like 8 years ago to do a video on this game. Glad you finally did it :-D

[@latinoporvida]

Thanks for your preview I’m definitely buying this NES game

[@Mr_x_19922]

the woman in the torture room is also covered in the arcade version

[@mk2mister2]

I think I had this game for the C64. What a blast from the past! Thank you for doing the review. I'm only a few years older than you but like you, grew up on the NES and C64.

[@dunedinsound]

Is that an 8-bit verson of Sanctify by Nine Inch Nails in the background?

[@inversephase]

yes, from this: inversephase.bandcamp.com/album/pretty-eight-machine

[@DarkF00L]

inversephase Right on man! I noticed Sanctified in this video as well and was tripping out! Great job! :D

[@RedFlameFox]

Nintendo used to censore everything at the time, impressing that this game actually came out.

[@Curlyheart]

This was a unlicensed nes game

[@devastator3904]

You spoil us with all these new videos, Mike and James. Thanks! Also curious about this Waxworks game, I really never heard of it until now.

[@stephenbianchi7141]

Such an unusual game. Would like to know the full story... The graphics and music are super-low-budget, but it actually seems like there are alot more interactive parts of the screen than you would expect.

[@Ten80pete]

You guys are the best. Keep making awesome videos and we will continue to be awesome fans!

[@VasCorpBetMani]

Best quote, "...and you're just dissecting their bodies with your bullets," in reference to the arcade game "Chiller" while playing the NES version (see MAME for original).

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

I've SEEN Chiller in the arcade back when I was in college.

[@KillerandUndertaker]

4:35 I think Kevin Smith was the main character in that Waxworks game.

[@Wannabe_Baby]

I'm loving these bonus Halloween videos. :)

[@Mr_Machete89]

Is that Eddie/Zato1 theme from Guilty Gear on the background?

[@IROQUOISxPLISKEN]

You guys are awesome!!! thanks for all the videos this month :) Happy Halloween!!

[@StuartMarchetti]

As a kid, loved Phantasmagoria

[@mateoincognito8004]

The only NES game to support two zappers at once and you’re using remotes?!?!

[@Ricardosucio]

Two bonus episodes?!?! Time to sit down with the bowl of candy before the doorbell starts ringing

[@fjsenpai]

I love the Guilty Gear background music that you put in your video.

[@slbr309]

I need more of this in my life

[@drazzilb666]

I remember playing this game in the arcade. It started in the torture camber. I was a little kid and had no idea what to do since I didn't know that I was suppose to shoot the people. I ended up waiting for monsters until the time ran out.

[@DrEarthwormRobotnik]

I noticed the 8 bit Guilty Gear music. That's a nice touch, James.

[@emmettturner9452]

Inverse Phase! I own and love his "Pretty Eight Machine" album (chiptune version of "Pretty Hate Machine"). Awesome stuff!

[@MrTonyoftheDead]

I completely forgot about this game! I remembered when you said about shooting her and seeing her rip cage! Actually was a fun and graphic game for it's time! Thanks for bringing back some good memories James and Mike!

[@TheFireflyGrave]

Wow, truly a game where you play as the monster! Nothing even attacks you.

[@Luciffrit]

OMG THE MIDI! =O "I am Sanctified!" Shhhck! "I am Justified!" Shhhck!

[@kizmetmars]

Was wondering why I had NIN in my head for some reason.

[@uberdown]

i just noticed that as well! awesome use of a great song!!

[@Piroschatz44]

4:02 never heard about Waxworks, but i played Elivra "Mistress of the Dark" from 1990. 2 Years before Waxworks and looks like the same style and really violent.

[@theriverhudson4005]

Is that the music from "The Rescue Of Pops Ghostly' at 2:33? Hysterical!

[@gzeusone6532]

James was wrong, the woman in the arcade version IS covered.

[@DeVulusAQ]

You're right, but the arcade version still has bare breasts in another stage.

[@autobotstarscream765]

The nekkid woman in the arcade game is the zombie woman in the center of the Graveyard.

[@MegaBadMongo]

Finally some love for Waxworks and the awesome Elvira games.

[@manabluerose]

I remember Wax Works!! and yes, it was definitely violent.

[@Crowley9]

Waxworks is available on Good Old Games. Go get it, people!

[@ClassicContagious]

Nice drop of Waxworks Mike. Pretty cool game. Unofficial continuation to the first two Elvira RPG / Adventure games.

[@mindseye451]

Cool video! It would be crazy awesome to the original chiller arcade game! Well, happy halloween guys!

[@GodRemixed]

Nice 8bit Guilty Gear music! Does the game usually have no music at all and you replaced it with Guilty Gear?

[@beltube]

the actual game has music more comparable to something on the 2600, lol

[@tracykirkhove9435]

Sounds more like Sanctified by Nine Inch Nails

[@leighjallan]

Loved the NIN 8 bit remix

[@inversephase]

feel free to check out the rest! inversephase.bandcamp.com/album/pretty-eight-machine

[@Sifer2]

Surprised Chiller of all things would get ported to NES even illegally. Reminds me of how it sucked you couldn't get an arcade perfect port until like the early 00's.

[@HiltonHeartless]

Lol am I the only one who enjoyes the James and Mike Mondays/specials, as much if not more at time than avgn. That's coming from someone who has avgn DVDs lolol.

[@FlintG]

I don't think I saw chiller at funspot. I may have missed it. But I did see death race where you just run over people for points and it makes this loud high pitched sound.

[@deinonychusaw]

GUILTY GEAR OST IN 8-BIT? I need that

[@AgentMan666]

OMG. The floating head sprite in the second level is the MR. T sprite from the Atari 2600 version of the A-Team!!!!!!

[@fumpiggle]

My uncle had Waxworks on his computer when I was a kid, gave me nightmares.

[@mgabrysSF]

How many would put them on location? Anyone who had a 200 pound paperweight called Crossbow. It was a conversion kit for that game.

[@ken131]

This game drove Pat the NES Punk to MADNESSSsssss

[@user-dj1hy6zc6q]

5:09 I am surprised they didn't keep playing until the message was fully unscrambled.

[@RoundShades]

What is the message?

[@ZorotheGallade]

Yagi Hige YOU HAVE -F...something?

[@vileindividual]

I'd love to see Mike and James go through the Waxworks games.

[@grizzlywhisker]

i saw chiller in the arcade as a kid and found it very disturbing lol.

[@sfgplaysgames]

Nice, Another treat. Thank You :)

[@DerpyCatWolfGames]

The oldest classic gaming reviewer still does youtube pretty much the best of all time!

[@TheKittiesKilll]

I remember this one game my cousin and I played a long time ago that use to disturb the hell out of me. I think it was a pc game I can't remember but it had this little boy who's dog got abducted by aliens or something and he goes off to save him but he's just a little boy and every time you fuck up it depicts this kid getting his head bit off by monsters, getting crushed, drowning, basically all the works lol it was awful. I forget the name of it but I hope someone remembers. The only thing I remember is that this poor little boy was always getting massacred.

[@RandomAccessDreams]

That's Heart of Darkness on the PlayStation.

[@TheKittiesKilll]

ConkadeWonko Yea that's it. Totally forgot what the name was.

[@ivyssauro123]

I remember it, it's Heart of Darkness, ahha i was also traumatized by that game, it's great!

[@CitizenKang]

Barcade in Brooklyn puts out Chiller every October.

[@RyuRanXII]

Waxworks looks really sick! Gotta play that game!

[@Nobody___]

i love halloween specials:)

[@rockyrococo2584]

I loved this game in the arcade when I was like 10-11 years old

[@thesaskatchewankid]

Some gruesome stuff for the NES! Thanks for sharing!

[@zenithquasar9623]

I had Waxworks on Amiga! It used to scare me so much as a kid!

[@overscoreSX]

Wow.. That waxWorks game looked epic.. I'd love to see you guys play that.

[@TheMattmatic]

It's like, how many fewer light guns could they be using? And the answer is none - none fewer.

[@RefluxDetox]

Nice one using a song by Inverse Phase near the end!

[@RolodexEnigma]

That Waxworks game looks fucking nuts. SO much more violent and gory than mortal kombat.

[@ThomasRBowen-gq3jr]

This game looks awesome. Must find a copy.

[@MidlifeCrisisMedia]

The music at the very end of the video sounded like an 8-bit rendition of "Sanctified" by Nine Inch Nails.

[@earth2okska308]

WOOOAAHHHHHHH Has James and Mike ever played Guilty Gear? I recognize the intro theme. It's Feedback into Feel A Fear done 8 bit style. And im surprised because I have yet to see James and Mike play it. Seriously, it's one of the most metal games our there.

[@OutlawsGraveyardShift]

The torture level wouldn't have to be toned down or really censored since this is an unlicensed game.

[@daneofurexistence]

"Waxworks" looks awesome!

[@MortonGoldthwait]

Again with Pretty 8 Machine. James and Mike are Nine Nails fans!

[@deathmetalmaniac9647]

I'd still really like to see you guys play waxworks and give that game a little more popularity
