LGR - Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs - DOS PC Game Review

[@LGR]

@BanjoGate Actually I don't use VMs at all. I play all my games on original PCs built specifically with specs for that period of game. However, if the quality is going to suck when recording I sometimes record footage on DosBox with a config set to the original machine, like this video for example. But other games, like Paratrooper and SkyStrike recently, are recorded directly from video output on the real machines. Windows games are played on older PCs as well, using composite/S-video capture.

[@LGR]

@Hamsteere Oh yes. I've got a review of Theme Hospital planned for the coming months, actually!

[@LGR]

@DylanMayhew It's real, it was released a bit earlier this year, OK'd by Bungie and everything. I plan on reviewing it sometime.

[@LGR]

@dashwarts My manual lists I-J-O-L as alternate diagonal keys for those without a numpad. Hope that helps!

[@LGR]

Yes, "Frunky" is a word. Just in case anyone asks.

[@LGR]

@NullaVids Indeed I do! I did a video review of it a while back, too.

[@gunmetal2445]

This was my first ever computer game. Looking at the manual and the key code brought back a flood of bittersweet memories. Thank you!

[@LGR]

@ruutiveijari It certainly has that feel about it, doesn't it?

[@tankmaverick99]

I really only clicked on this video to hear Clint say Freaking Funky Fuzzballs

[@poble]

or FFF

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

I got this game as part of a collection back in the mid 90's, which also included Links Golf (1990), Dinosaur Safari and a couple or more FMV games like Pain and... I forget what the other one was!

[@LGR]

@janmansde3dede It's somewhat unimpressive VGA. It has modes all the way down to CGA though.

[@MontyPeters740]

I could never remember the name of this game! Just that it had something about Fuzz and the Game Over! It's curtains for you! This is one of the many DOS games I played when I was young. This is so awesome to find!

[@Ryaan2000]

XD I can imagine you up late at night with bloodshot eyes, snorting piles of dust made of crushed up Sir-Tech floppies.

[@LGR]

@ChaseLearnsAccordion Got mine on eBay for five bucks.

[@danicela]

Hi, each version I find on the internet has the error message "It appears you failed your eye exam!" after the level 3 or 4, but I didn't have the screen you got with the actual 'eye exam', at the beginning. Do you know anything on how to get this screen and how to 'validate' this ?

[@LordProteus]

I have checked and there is still no Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs ost/intro theme on KZbin.

[@ImSquiggs]

Who wrote your theme song? They need a serious high five, it gets stuck in my head all the time.

[@darkmage07070777]

Seriously, it's the only thing that I legitimately miss on his current videos. Yes, I know, it wouldn't fit the current style. But still.

[@PFranks]

One of my earliest memories of computer gaming is playing this game on my parents DOS PC

[@TheIdleCrow]

@phreakindee sounds awesome can't wait to see the review of it! btw also thanks for the minecraft video that game is awesome!

[@LGR]

I've got a review video of it, showing the gameplay and how to get it :)

[@doarner]

All i can think are a pair of boxers with the game's artwork printed on to wear, with the words "Time to play with my freakin funky fuzzballs".

[@Hamsteere]

Just out of curiousity, but have you ever played Theme Hospital for the PC? More on topic, once again a very good and detailled review. :>

[@Trenchbroom]

Max Frost...great reference to a classic!

[@JacksonJacoy]

I saw a pill with a rhino on it in a convenience store that says it will improve your vitality. it also had the back of the top half of naked lady. I wonder if that's the same vitality as in this game?

[@corytrevor3015]

just started watching. Really enjoying your videos right from the start. I hope there are many more from here

[@LGR]

Approaching 500 overall, so I hope you continue to enjoy :)

[@deus_ex_machina_]

Lazy Game Reviews Holy shit! Now I really need to crawl through the archives...

[@LGR]

@wazzal7 To me, "Freakin' funky" :D

[@joeylantis22]

Awesome video! Keep up the good work!

[@stanmarsh22291]

I played this game when I was just a kid!!! like Toddler!!! I remember typing in FFF in the ddos to access it! I loved it so much it! So much nostalgia

[@svankensen]

@heatblizzard Means you didnt pass the copy protection. My guess is that whoever hacked the game so it wouldnt prompt you in the begining forgot to make sure that the game wont check later. Im having the same problem, wich is a real shame since i'm pretty sure i am like the 2nd person here who had an original copy.

[@idogtv]

Oh man I loved this game as a child. I remember playing it on a laptop running DOS by typing in "fff" and hitting enter, then the game would load (mind you it was in grayscale, no color on that machine). To me I found it quite replayable (considering I played a lot)! At least as a child anyway. I used DOSBox to replay it a few years ago but I don't remember what I felt about it other than some nostalgia, though having color made it feel a bit different. Perhaps it's time I give it another go soon!

[@MultiInsaniac]

Whare do you get these cans of pure awesome? ....I want some o-o

[@Highretrogamelord]

Damn, the game reminds me of another game. I wish I could remember its name. :(

[@q306005]

Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs, or "FFF." Not to be confused with Final Fantasy, which is just "FF." Huh... That joke is far less effective in text...

[@austinmckinney6782]

hahahahahaha xD

[@ThomasNimmesgern]

1:51 for even more FFF's!

[@YEUWYU]

Weird, I thought I had watched all your videos and then I just found this

[@Dynocation]

That title made me crave a can of soda. X'D

[@BrinIoca]

+Dynocation every time, same.

[@BanjoGate]

You must have to play most of these old games on virtual machines.. May I ask how you can make a screen capture of them? If not dos games, the the old windows 98 games..

[@Highretrogamelord]

@DylanMayhew It is real, you can get it on a cartridge.

[@aquachek3]

this is the good stuff

[@30LayersOfKevlar]

oh god, AB3d on cd32 had worse copy protection thingy every. The passwords were printed on a black shiny paper thing to prevent photo copying. So the numbers were visible only under specific light conditions and at correct angle. And after a while most of them just vanished, so you had restart the game with a hope that required number code will be visible.

[@Pinwormx]

I got this game free. I think it was for a Sound Blaster sound card.

[@wazzal7]

@phreakindee but what does it mean??? Love these reviews btw!

[@BigHairyMarty314]

I love your tshirt man.

[@silntdoogood]

Looks amazing to me!

[@otakuribo]

that _Peignot Bold_ font in the game tho

[@Pinwormx]

I got this free with my Sound Baster Card. They mailed it to me.

[@SirKappy]

Halo 2600? I. MUST. GET. IT!

[@Life_Universe_Everything]

I looking in his videos and came across this

[@i386dx]

Cool t-shirt!

[@macklegros]

A dungeon crawler roguelike from the 90’s called Cave Noir is a lot like this it’s fun

[@A_Player]

1:38 lol HMM,DRAGONS LAIR!

[@groovefiend25]

jesus christ i love these reviews

[@dana8190]

holy shit I actually had this game!

[@JasonWho]

@Dan A same. No idea how I acquired it - but loved it!

[@TheIdleCrow]

Is that Halo 2600 real... "real" or just photo shopped? if it's "real" i'd like to ask if it is indeed real and some one made a game on the cart? or is it just some old atari game with a new label. just wondering.

[@janmansde3dede]

... I don't get it... is this EGA or VGA ?

[@sebamkfan]

*cough*cough*Dragon's Lair*cough*

[@A_Player]

halo 2600?!when?!?!what?!?why!?!

[@S3JasonU]

For a game called "Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs", it sure is lacking fuzzballs. The game definitely needs more fuzzballs.

[@StinkySeaGoat]

*gasp* I'm called a fuzz ball sometimes! :D

[@deezy511]

1:03 Getting high off of Sir-Tech Floppys? lol

[@gnovakIII]

Bro, please do a review on Shogo: mobile armor division, if you get a chance

[@sceerane8662]

This was Five years ago.

[@A_Player]

i want theme hospital on win 7 working properly,lol,i dont really like the dos version,i dont like the music,sounds a bit clunky

[@legbert123]

A mint copy of this game goes for like 150$ these days damn.

[@kylehill3643]

I have Dos Box version I paid to get this game and it plays but no way to setup music. My Dad's version had midi songs that changed each world.

[@Xaibo_Red]

[@coralunasoleil5265]
