Let's Play Some Obscure DOS Games! (ft. Lazy Game Reviews)

[@GrahamCluleyCom]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the "Humbug" adventure game. No, I wasn't stoned when I wrote it all those years ago.... :)

[@jorge62142]

WOW IS THAT COMMENT LEGIT OR WHAT

[@Goomba_Smash]

@@jorge62142 Yes, that’s the guy that developed it

[@ObiWanBillKenobi]

22:49 Wow! Cool! (Timepoint for “Humbug.”)

[@KotaonPC]

Please write another one while you are stoned :)

[@azazeldeath]

Thanks for the game I have vague memories of playing it and trying to convince my mum to buy it

[@LadyBernkastel92]

I'd watch you and LGR commenting on paint drying. I mean I'd prefer old video games, but either way I'm all in for more of these videos, especially at this length.

[@billwindsor4224]

Haha yeah, @LadyBernkastel92 - well spoken and totally concur! - cheers

[@spiderjerusalem100]

Clint is awesome and he seems like a really nice guy, been following him for years.

[@Chazzi27]

I totally remember this! This was really my first deep dive into DOS games when I was a kid.

[@Ikifoo]

Ha! I had the same reaction as LGR to hearing Nels Anderson's name, except I was thinking of the guy who made EGATrek. Which is in the 'Adventure' section of this CD despite being more of a "imma starship cap'n" sim. Really enjoyed this video btw, I would make smiles if more of them happened.

[@schadenfreudebuddha]

Bernie's pizza's...something belonging to the pizzas belonging to Bernie.

[@proverbialloaf]

Ah, I see… makes sense now! 😂

[@smeechdog]

Dracula in London is one of my best gaming memories...you can get happy endings if you don't just walk into a fucking spider and then forget to hunt Dracula - like the whole point of the game. Criticising it for a "depressing ending" is like hating Mario because he always falls down off the screen. That is all.

[@goatcheezius2399]

Yeah they needed to equip the party first. Some turpentine gets rid of spiders nicely. I have fond memories of Dracula in London, like one game where John found and killed Dracula with a knife in the first building I went to, making me imagine them wondering if Dracula was even supernatural at all or if they just stabbed some rich land investor from Transylvania.

[@marcopieper7324]

I sure would like to see more

[@AtariNerd2600]

lol Aldo looked like ron jeremy

[@chiptankgirl]

I've been trying to find Bozo Bobo for years. Please try it!

[@FLIK510]

There's still more Mary Kate & Ashley games out there guys, come on

[@brutalmoose]

I loved this. As a subscriber, I demand that you make more.

[@Thederanged1]

I’ve not seen such bravery

[@UdonBullets]

You should collab with them!!!

[@appalachianexploration5714]

Much respect on the channel name good sir moose. Where I live every other road or restaurant is either moose or bear something.

[@FLIK510]

HOLY SHIT, feels like it's been years since we've gotten a PUR & LGR combo video. Miss the days when those were more frequent

Pushinguproses AND LGR? My god! This is best thing uploaded to youtube in AGES! ^____^''

[@WeirdWonderful]

I was gonna ask how often they get messages from shippers being weird at them XD

[@retrogaminginsanity7585]

i know right allthough id love to see pushing up roses n supapixelgirl do a lets play of some snes games !!! or some pc adventure games letsplays :P

[@lostxj]

I agree the two together are awesome. You guys need to keep doing videos like this. Also the two of you with your commentary I think would be very enjoyable reviewing text games.

[@stevenjlovelace]

My favorite PUR/LGR collaboration is the Clue Mansion Sims 4 Let's Play. I love all the funny voices.

[@DoctorWhy777]

OMG God, whats better than one of your favourite youtubers? 2 of them... you guys are awesome!

[@herooftime1000]

No. PUR. Seriously. You and Clint. Play more adventure games together. Better yet, play Waxworks together. *I. Cannot. Stress. This. Enough.*

[@Trashware]

I Never played Waxworks, is it good?

[@herooftime1000]

There are some elements that are frustrating, like the navigation and the large mazes representing each world, but the puzzles and deaths in the game are really good.

[@Trashware]

Yeah the gory death scenes look pretty good at least :) Next time I'm in a Phantasmagoria mood I might check it out

[@GroovyZombieGaming]

Yeah, it's a great game but it is unforgiving! Especially the mines in which there is an unwinnable scenario (save OFTEN and separately). The Jack the Ripper level is hard, too, because you have to explore while being chased the whole time.

[@starofjustice1]

I'd take Waxworks even if she played it alone. She's got just the right style to really do justice to a game like that.

[@erwinderdoofe]

"Humbug" is german for nonsense. Maybe that is interesting to someone....

[@ghosthardware9050]

erwinderdoofe interesting!

[@Dingoes8MeBabies]

Search for "Very Interesting But Also Stupid" in your youtube search bar.

[@Moonbeam143]

erwinderdoofe I never knew that, and now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

[@majinchibi]

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humbug nope

[@handsomebrick]

It's sort of English for nonsense too.

[@darkevilone666]

I would love to hear a podcast of the two of you. a "lazy roses cast" of some sort.

[@ChelseaColeslaw]

"Extremely Bitter" and "In Unhappy Marriage" are my favorite post-Dracula statuses. I also love how an unhappy marriage gets the same amount of points as prison.

[@gabrielvinicius2409]

PUR AND LGR!? One hour!? Dreams coming true. Thank you for it. Let it be stated that you have fans in Brazil. Wonderful work.

[@lpcamargo]

Da hora né. Nem sabia que eles já fizeram mais de um collab 👀

[@maximkammerer2813]

please do more of these, i could watch you both for hours!

[@wildweasel486]

I imagine the Nels Anderson referenced during "Humbug!" is a different Nels Anderson than the guy that designed Firewatch, however THIS Nels Anderson was somewhat prolific in the shareware world as the writer of one of the more popular DOS Mah-Jongg solitaire games, as well as a little game called Shooting Gallery.

[@thewiirocks]

This Nels Anderson is particularly known for EGA Trek. A derivative Star Trek game so good it's still played today!

[@JimPlaysGames]

You guys make the best let's play duo. I loved your Last Half of Darkness series so this should be great :D

[@GanjsmostPrime]

JimPlaysGames I thought you'd be a fan of LGR! Only just found PUR but you sir Jim was my first to sub to! Love me some amiga nostalgia!

[@Myllkka]

I'm ashamed but, man, I "ship" these two so much.

[@proverbialloaf]

@@Myllkka They’ve definitely got a great banter/chemistry going. :-) Sadly, it’s been quite a while since a Let’s Play from these two.

[@daniel.holbrook]

I'd LOVE for you two to do more streaming together! I don't watch streams in general but the streams LGR's posted on KZbin in the past of you two doing games like Wasteland and Last Half of Darkness are fantastic.

[@Trashware]

Humbug is on my to do list now, text adventures are great to play on my laptop in bed before I go to sleep and this one seems well written. I also enjoyed PURs fresh reaction to Jetpack, a game that has great nostalgic value to me :) Uh yeah, do more!

[@encomium4]

Oh man. This is great stuff. I still have my Game Empire CDs Volume I and II. I played them constantly as a kid. One of them "accidently" had a full retail version of Rise of the Triad on it and I played the unholy shit out of that one. This video is some quality nostalgia.

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Had a fortune cookie telling me that something awesome will happen this week. It must've been PushingUpRoses with LGR two of my favourite old school pc gamers.

[@Moonbeam143]

SOHGuy That cookie was right, dude.

[@micperson]

Yes! I love when you collab with LGR. You two bounce off eachother so well and you're both so fun and I love it.

[@WrecklessEating]

Watching again to support ya :)

[@debsreno911]

These two need to play more games together! They are awesome together.

[@McTeddyGames]

Oh, Dracula in London is one of my personal favorite DOS games. I can beat it but I'm still missing one or two of the hidden objectives to get all the characters a perfect ending (Those stupid cards would give me the answer!). I spent WAAAY too much time learning those mechanics.

[@leahsloan1718]

I LOVE your Last Half of Darkness trilogy with LGR! You should revisit #3!

[@athickie]

Leah Sloan Same !

[@Moonbeam143]

Leah Sloan It was awesome watching that.

[@StraytheSkies]

I miss pickels.

[@Trashware]

Oh man, I need to rewatch that now.

[@tanyasobsessions2131]

i agree 100%.

[@NeonUFO]

in the past few days i was perpetually complaining about how many of my favourite youtubers stopped doing let's plays, and then you two arrive and grace me from the heavens of gaming. bless you.

[@Moonbeam143]

Jim Pavlica Roses is the best at Let's Plays.

[@TheBolondron]

You guys should make this into an official regular show, you are too good playing games together. You inspired me to start playing adventure games with my brothers through Skype (we all live very far apart), and it's been as great as I hoped. Thanks for the videos :)

[@marshallwilliams120]

Another great collaboration with LGR! I was wondering if you two were ever gonna do another Let's Play together!?!

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

So, about doing text adventures as youtube videos: I support just playing the game, reading the text out loud. It would be great to listen to while you're doing something like cooking, or for the youtube-is-bedtime-story crowd.

[@Flasa]

3:53 When you want to play Quarantine, but end up as a muslim after playing Qurantime

[@pureicefire]

LGR and PUR Let's Plays are like my favorite thing in the universe. Also you have no idea how many I've watched the Last Half of Darkness stream videos. It's kind of sad.

[@proverbialloaf]

I still watch/listen to them often.

[@invghost]

Ooh.. An hour. This is awesome. Thanks PUR and LGR

[@geekoborabora]

I vote more hour long videos with LGR! EVERY TIME!

[@GroovyZombieGaming]

I usually stay away from longer videos, but this kept me entertained all the way through. PUR and LGR are a Let's Play dream team and I would gladly watch another hour+ video.

[@VVc0w]

I was introduced to PUR through the first LHOD game so this was awesome! More of these please! You two are great together

[@moccalou]

One of my favorite games as a kid was Math Blaster Episode I: In Search of Spot. My CD of it inexplicably disappeared when I was a kid. I remember ransacking the house trying to find it and all I could come up with was the jewel case. Even when I had to completely remove every item from my childhood home in order to sell the house when I was 30, it still didn't turn up. I never lent it to a friend. It was always a big mystery what could have happened to it. I think you just solved it for me. :O It's very likely I could have left it in the CD ROM drive of a computer that had died and my dad got rid of before we ever managed to check if there was a CD in it. Damn. That seems like the only explanation now. Saddddd. I loved that game.

[@marccaselle8108]

I have math blaster episode 1 in search of spot. I'm not sure if it's the floppy disk version or the CD version. I'll have to check.

[@Godryu17]

You made me download like a complete library game of dos games and I was so happy when I started up leisure suit Larry I thank you so much rose

[@HazmanFTW]

When you went into the first level of Jill of the Jungle, my mind just played the Commander Keen level intro from Secrets of the Oracle even before you mentioned Commander Keen. In case you didn't realise in Love Manager the people jump when a new person is in line.

[@jakedelmastro]

the quiche reference in ladder might be a reference to this classic 1982 article web.mit.edu/humor/Computers/real.programmers

[@snood4743]

I still have this! It made up a ton of my gaming childhood! I really wanted to see you play the volleyball one. The gameplay is mediocre, but the graphics are hilariously horrible.

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

with Jill of the Jungle is she throwing what i think she's throwing? I mean those toys are usually reserved for the bedroom, gurl! hehe

[@raydeen2k]

Man, I still love Jill of the Jungle. That game needs a modern remake. Stat.

[@irhymewithpurple]

You had me at Blue Balls.

[@schadenfreudebuddha]

if she'd had you, you wouldn't have blue balls.

[@TheLastComa]

Still think they're secretly dating. There, said it.

[@danieldonovan852]

yep, they have some chemistry.

[@proverbialloaf]

Here in 2021 they haven’t collaborated in some time. I assume they’re still buds, but it’s hard to say. Really miss those LGR + PUR Let’s Plays!

[@TheLastComa]

@@proverbialloaf same...I think my theory of them dated has been shot since then 😅

[@TheRetroRaven]

Please put a backup / image of this compilation on The Internet Archive (if possible?).

[@DukeNukem2417]

Any chance you could play Gateworld for the possible sequel to this video? If it's the same one I've played before, it should be entertaining to watch.....

[@IvanDSM]

Awesome to see another collab video between you two! On Skunny's lack of music, the game defaults to no music + beeper FX and changing the settings doesn't work when running from CD. But the music really IS awful!

[@Dungyfan007]

We need more pur and lgr collabs!

[@xhcalan1266]

OMFG! i have this compilation cd!! I use to love Jetpack!

[@David-vu6xd]

Jetpack has a great level editor. They should give it a go!

[@adamsransom]

I really liked this vid, and I'd love it if you did more! I tend to knit while watching Let's Play vids, so longer vids with good rapport suit that. It's really good hearing people talk about these games in context - like how Humbug was released later than many text-based adventure games, and how Jill of the Jungle compared to other similar style games of the time.

[@autumnphillips151]

@9:16 I’m cracking up at Van Helsing speaking “with a *heavy Dutch* accent *(eg “Mein Gott!”)”.* Do we think they honestly assumed that Dutch was the same thing as German?

[@MrBjanders]

Love you guys! Awesome!

[@morphman86]

A blast from the past for me too. PUR was the one that showed me DOSbox way back in the early Channel Awesome days. Then I stopped watching them and sorta forgot PUR even existed (don't take it personal, I have the memory of a VIC-20, once it's out of sight it's out of my brain for good) until I saw the latest LGR. The memories just flooded back of old DOS games and that voice, and this was the first video in the Suggestions bar.

[@unikadas]

THIS. Yes, this was the CD. Goodness, I have to find my own copy of the CD. IIRC, my friend and I played a lot of Base Conflict (or a poor man's version of Scorched Earth). So many memories and inspirations for the first games I made.

[@seangleeson8073]

Oh, wow. I played the %&*$ out of that Dracula game as a kid, and somehow it never occurred to me that it was meant to be played with other people. I COMPLETELY forgot that Jill of the Jungle existed until I watched this video. Another one that I played a fair amount of.

[@mik4k6]

PushingUpRoses, I just saw the credits for _Space Quest: Incinerations_ and you were thanked! You probably already know, but I just found it. Paw and LateBlt were listed as well. That's a cool find!

[@littlemikey46]

My childhood was me making custom Jetpack levels where there was nothing but those jelly things that give you points. No monsters, because I wasn't good enough to beat monsters. Just Jelly. Hundreds and hundreds of Jellies.

[@azazeldeath]

PUR honestly I love the back and forward you and LGR have, makes me want to find a woman like you which sounds creepy ik.

[@EvilStreaks]

Corn=growth on foot, plaster=bandaid

[@friendofamonkey]

You guys should do a text adventure game podcast. You could still post the videos, but you could make it available on iTunes or SoundCloud.

[@spongerobert]

OMG. I remember having a disc like this (actually it was my friend's disc) I totally forgot about it. Wow!

[@arrestedeffort]

Whoa what? I watch a lot of LGR and a lot of your more recent videos, I had no idea you two collaborated! That's awesome!

[@kulrigalestout]

Shareware is Careware!

[@Markimark151]

Roses and Clint, do you guys remember some DOS game called Bob project? It's an adventure game that was in those shareware games.

[@warrenburger9907]

Over an HOUR of Roses and LGR! What have we done to earn such awesome sauce?!

[@419Films]

The people and dogs weren't jumping. Others were coming out of the apartments into a crowded hallway, and the people at the elevator shaft were being pushed off.

[@cjhs2006]

LGR:”Why Are There Scores?This is a CD” me:Who The Fuck’s Zed?

[@Floweramon]

Just pointing out, the people weren't just jumping to their deaths in that last game. The lines got too full, and when another person walked out, the ones at the front o the line literally got pushed to their deaths.

[@athickie]

YAYYYYY!!

[@kev25811]

Fair pissing myself at the reaction to the corn plaster! Can't be arsed to check all the comments, so loads of people have probably already mentioned this, but "sticky plaster" is a common term in the UK for an adhesive medical strip, or Band-Aid.

[@Dr.Quarex]

I figured out what it was after briefly mentally re-parsing it, but only because I looked in my elderly grandmother's medicine cabinet as a child and found ancient "corn pads" and spent years wondering why this was solving a problem that seemingly nobody ever had or talked about, haha.

Wait, so a spider bit Van Helsing on his first hunt, gave him PTSD, and potentially cancer? Somehow that's darker than anything the gothic horror genre has to offer.

[@proverbialloaf]

I somehow misread your first sentence as “[…] a spider bit Van Helsing on his butt…” Apparently that was not the case 😂

[@theneepgodkinggar5626]

You and LGR are great alone but together you are on a completely different level all your video's together feal like special events, I dont know why but they all have a very special atmosphere.

[@proverbialloaf]

[@HopelessDjinn]

I would love to see a part 2. Especially seeing you play Captain Comic. It is great.

[@Ezek86]

I got rid of my first computer and a lot of floppy disks over a decade ago and now im depressed.

when i was a kid we got one of those "galaxy of games" style cds and it had this game i swear it was called ascension, but it was a diablo style hack n slash and ive been wanting to find it forever but the name comes up empty, probably cuz these shareware cds are 1 of 1000s

[@camelChase20]

Right when I heard LGR's voice I kept thinking "...when worlds collide...." Hoping one day I'll hit the best bin of shovelware in a shack somewhere.

You can destroy most blocks in Jetpack. You need to zap it longer. How long depends on the type of block (some or indestructible though) :)

I love old DOS games! This looks like a great CD. Is there a way to get a (digital) copy of it from you, or at least the full list of the name of the games on it?
