LGR - Daze Before Christmas - SNES Game Review

[@LGR]

Thank you, glad you're enjoying! And yes, at least one more Christmas game is coming.

[@patryksg]

I actually got this game for Christmas in 95 or 96. This has brought back some fond memories. Thank you for that, Clint!

[@LGR]

That's what I meant by exclusive though: it was only ever made for the Australian Mega Drive. As you said, Ecco Jr was also on the Genesis, meaning it's not exclusive in the same way Daze is :)

[@MrStevo808]

Great game imo. LGR, You really need to do James Pond 2: Robocod this year. There are numerous ports you can cover and it's 100% Christmas themed.

[@MooseheadStudios]

Your Christmas reviews are my favorite

[@Maxubiquitous]

A slight amendment, A Daze Before Christmas was not the only Mega Drive Game to be released exclusively in Australia. The other one was Ecco Jr. Although it's offcourse readily available as a Genesis release. Love your stuff by the way, especially your odd/harware reviews - keep'em comming! Snowy X-mas greetings from Sweden!

[@JayBlackthorne]

Thanks for this special christmas edition. I love listening to your well thought out opinions on all sorts of old school stuff. For me, you're right up there with the angry video game nerd as far as entertainment is concerned. I'm a big fan of you. Are we going to see more christmas themed videos before we hit december 25th? Keep up the good work!

[@DanHammonds]

I really enjoy these Christmas game reviews. Have you ever played Robocod? Not completely Christmas themed, but has a very big festive influence and one of the best platformers ever!

[@evilmiera]

Ahhh, the wondrous sodacan-slurping intro of LGR past. Love it, love it.

[@trumangraham2602]

"I am composed of only one human being and a single personality" *WRONG*

[@sameash3153]

Blows marijuana smoke on the screen

[@Onyxthegreat91]

I really liked the Chrismas version of the game Jetpack. That (and the original) game was awesome.

[@primanox007]

Love your Christmas vids, Clint!

[@fressfisch]

7:23 the fish in the end represents the meaning of life

[@olivercharles2930]

As someone born after the 90s and with little experience with retro gaming, I really like the aesthetic of this game. It has a cozy if slightly melancholic vibe to iti.

[@filijonken]

Your voice is amazing and i love your reviews. Keep it up man!

[@LGR]

Yup, same Funcom.

[@vdochev]

The regular Santa is with the colors of Coca Cola, the "pissed" Santa is with the colors of Pepsi! :)

[@sexycavetroll2788]

round this time of yeah i always check out Christmas themed videos from youtubers I enjoy. sorta gets me in the mood. I was thinking ya might be runnin out of Christmas themed games to do for December, not sure if you have checked in a while but there are some great Christmas themed mods for skyrim. visual changes, quest lines (santaism) town décor overhauls and some other cool stuff, think it be cool to see you reaction of some of them. I actually start a new skyrim game every November with Christmas themed mods. just to tune out at the end of the day, sit in the dark and soak up the visuals. pretty cool lil tradition I guess

[@majorgear1021]

Skyrim Christmas mods are awesome. I have a dedicated save file and Mod Organizer 2 profile for them.

[@l--..--l-i3m]

It was a sure way to make at least a buck or two, just like the FPS today. Every big company had to have one.

[@distractedFreek]

Can't believe these guys went on to make the Age of Conan and Conan Exiles games.

[@vicchopin]

Hey LGR happy holidays!

[@RetroGamerVX]

Nice review, love the christmassy backgroinds :)

[@BigSneakySnake]

I said it in your other christmas video, but do please start using your intros... They are awesome, especially this one with the ridiculously reverbed late 80's/early 90s drums

[@tatuira93]

As far as i know it's a christmas theme for Jazz Jackrabit Christmas... version... edition... well you get it.

[@Yusuke_Denton]

No, I'm with you. I actually started playing retro because I couldn't afford new games, but even when I could get triple-A titles I kept going back to old games more often.

[@SlavaisFilth]

Damn, I thought I played every single sega genesis game but turns out I missed at least one. Thanks for this review Clint, though it apperars to be pretty average it looks fun definitely will check it out

[@GeekMaladroit]

Hey LGR, have you ever played a game called "Santa Claus in Trouble" for the PC? If so, are you playing to review it.

[@KoRnDuDe19886]

LMAO!!! dude! your shortened version of the back story is just awesome lol!! "you're Santa, your santa crap has been stolen by an evil snowman, a pocket watch, a giant mouse and a... storm cloud"

[@Blurredman]

Nice to see the old intro again!

[@80085word69]

Reminds me of the porky pig game by sunsoft on snes. The character model for Santa seems based off it

[@mickeymouse12678]

I too, would enjoy an anti-Claus game.

[@TheBigMan0706]

I remember LPing that game years ago

[@MagikGimp]

You didn't duck-walk up the stairs! Or record the sound Rudolf makes when you collect(?) him! Haha, check out the latest Flash Tub on SA for those.

[@excalibunny]

Hell yes! Christmas LGR.

[@Guy9998]

The SNES PAL version is $308.92 on Ebay right now if you're crazy enough to want it. The Sega one is going for a more reasonable $49. Or if you just want the SNES box and manual, it can be had for $32.50. Man all those prices are just absurd.

[@weirdproq]

Thanks for doing a review on this game!

[@cornsyruptrucker]

Even if this is awful and boring I really like the aesthetic of this one. Very cute and well animated

[@RobixCube12]

YAY! The old intro is back!

[@kendral7261]

That intro is so satisying

[@JayBlackthorne]

Thanks a lot. That really makes my Christmas! In the meantime, I'm going to scour your channel for review vids I haven't seen in a long time. Hey a guy's gotta do *something* to kill some time, know what I'm saying?

[@Flalaski]

ha! We're Back. loved that movie.

[@drumdreamer92]

I've been wondering for years, whats the theme that you always use for Christmas games?

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Hello! Someone nearly a decade in the future here! It's Jazz Jackrabbit 2's special Christmas levels. Also, by coincidence, we're subscribed to four of the same channels.

[@thedoctor9138]

Taz Mania was a lot like that when you get to the Jungle Levels. Tons of bottomless pits.

[@exactspace]

The videos at the end are not clickable and I really want to watch that Jill of the Jungle one. Too lazy to search for it.

[@moonfiber]

I really like the menu song!

[@parbs198]

love the reimagined old intro, you should update it to 2012 by collecting the rpg in duke forever :D

[@kinmanyuen]

lol swinging with his sack...

[@ProjectReality64]

hey lgr, do you have a large console collection?

[@StokeCityFC44]

That tune at the start reminds me of a Christmas themed Layendecker by Battles haha Are you a fan of Battles or was that just a coincidence Clint?

[@Creative3DMM]

What ever happend to the RetrowareTV logo on the start of the video? Nice review, btw.

[@telekineticguineapig7419]

Not exactly a Christmas game... BUT... Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday. I would love to see your review of that one. It was a bizarre Christmas tradition for me for years and I think it was rather good. I may only think that due to sentimental value but it's still one of my favorite SNES titles. I may be a bit strange.

[@GamingFelix]

Yeah but you can fix that by clicking "My subscriptions". The problem is, this video didn't even show up there.

[@GamingFelix]

Hey LazyGamer! This video never showed up in my sub-box. I have no idea why, just wanted to let you know.

[@siskavard]

Any relation to the Funcom that made Anarchy Online?

[@kellygymnastt]

"Running around, smashing things with your sack!"

[@DSDMovies]

That Daze logo just screams early 90s Mega Drive, despite it also being on SNES. And your intro music for the video is either the best Christmas music remix ever or the worst, or both at the same time.

[@suziesmith7019]

The 58th hottest sci-fi chick of all time just did a Flog of this game. Did she see your review and think it was totally awesome? I think so. You totally have a shot, dude! Anyway, thought you might like to know about it. Please keep them coming.

[@googleboughtmee]

the intro is back :)

[@SeriousPan]

*looks at genesis version in collection* .... *goes to Ebay*

[@OnlyEpicEmber]

SeriousPan Did you sell it?

[@BlueThunder2396]

I enjoyed playing this game

[@wesker919]

Wonder if Santa Claus In Trouble took inspiration from this?

[@bjoernaagaard]

Awesome intro. Just need the music back aswell.

[@exactspace]

Thanks

[@Thekinggamelon]

Snes9x? ZSNES? Are those?

[@oddaj9236]

how to be krampus in animal jam

[@sithwarrior]

great video LGR

[@gamermaster251]

this would be easy for me to get :D since it was a Australia release

[@sonicmaxwell]

Got this game with a megadrive and 6 other games at my primary school fair for like $7 15 years ago. just found it today in a draw and put the whole thing up on trademe for a dollar reserve and someone already offered me $80 for just this game. Score!

[@amigabang6157]

popsikill Megadrive? Dollars? Where are you?

[@sergeantsucc909]

Australia

[@itaybron]

i used to play this as a kid on my old computer we had this emulator that had dozens of games from all kinds of consoles which had this game.wish i knew the name of that emulator the computer we had it on was stolen years ago :/

[@itaybron]

no i dont think so it was mostly sega genesis and saturn games and maybe some more consoles it was either the late 90's or early 2000's i wish i knew more

[@WickedWicka]

Can you do a review or play through of Killing Floor's Twisted Christmas in Space? Because nothing says holiday spirit like massacring mutant Xmas creatures on a space station. :)

[@Pixel_Crusher]

Yare yare daze before Christmas.

[@vbell14]

My fav subscriber

[@The_Franchise1788]

super video. cheers man!

[@WhistlingMonkeh]

Aaaaaaawesome!!

[@itaybron]

what's 'MESS'?

[@SandwichGlitch]

Why the frick do i keep watching the Christmas LGR episodes when it's getting warmer?

[@Maashauu]

by the way am i the only one who doesn't play old games just for nostalgic reasons (hell i had not even heard about commodore 64 and i hardly knew what was nes or snes before i saw youtube review of them and bought them this year) but because most old games are simply better than new games?

[@MarcusMajorTheDriftKing]

At least this is better than Telegame's Santa Claus Saves the Earth, which was also released (Which it wasn't) For the GBA

[@maximum9626]

This is my favourite christmas videogame.

[@URBSNME]

Coffee turns you into SATAN Claus

[@jessica_the_ginger]

Best useless information i've EVER received!

[@fuzzydunlop1753]

Lmao "a bunch of clay fighter rejects"

[@JamesHardt]

What is the music during the intro from?

[@madocktherabbit]

DID SOMEONE SAY "CLAYFIGHTER"? [please review the games!]

[@misterneckbreaker88]

I like this game I love all platformers. this one is more for the collectors.

[@rianevans]

Please don't bash us over the head with your sack!

[@retrogamer816]

This guy sounds like rob man...no?

[@PabloNeirotti]

More christmas crap! Love it!

[@AlyxxTheRat]

And that is why we have emulators.

[@Jigglenomicon]

you turn into Satan Clause ? :D

[@amanoj318]

One would think dropping presents down smoke-spewing chimneys would be a... bad decision.

[@Aeduo]

Generic platformers that didn't take any risk at all I remember being pretty common. It's like today's first person shooters or mmorpgs.

[@plan7a]

:D

[@Autistic_Pixel]

This game is a lot like Mr. Nutz its only expensive cause of how few were made not because its a great game. Cute graphics however.

[@Slayermetallica69]

Nope, I play old games for the same reason

[@pippo17173]

Ya it could be worst.

[@q306005]

I'm sure there's a ROM for this game if you're really so desperate to play a mediocre platformer that you'd break the law to do so...
