Matchbox Emergency Patrol (CD-ROM Longplay #36)

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
A 3D game that I played the crap out of when I was younger. Although this game sucks. It's really not good. The physics are wonky and spacelike, the controls are clunky, and the graphics could be tons better, even on software mode. Oh well. Enjoy!

[@ethanyork1820]

I just now thought of this bro, I would still play this if I could

[@iggy2811]

Holy shit, this game was my childhood.

[@gaca520]

What about the ocean? I still remember being terrified when I was five when the huge whales swam past me!

[@o45032]

yoo same lmao

[@DragonspineInfiniteZero]

What about that shit textured monster that swam near the edge of the map?

[@gabrielallen790]

Yoo just behind the shark net wall off the cliff where that one house sits

[@ragingphantom]

It's nearly 3 in the morning and I woke up because I only vaguely remembered this game. All I remembered was that it was a car game and there was a whale. I'm glad I wasn't making it up

[@razgriz3711]

Glad I wasn't the only one who was terrified 😂

[@chaosreborn5988]

My childhood!

[@ZachmanLor]

YOOOOO I used to play this so much when I was a kid. I'm 22 now and can't believe I even found this video.

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

I was 7 when this came out I'm 25 now

[@blingking501]

I remember my mum and dad's computer running this like it was a slideshow, I still loved it.

[@Radarriderr]

I just spent a good hour trying to find this game again. Couldn't remember the name or anything. After many google searches I finally freaking found it. This game was a huge part of my childhood. I remember a good friend of mine had it on his PC and would let me borrow the CF for a few days after school. This and the Tonka games were everything I did.

[@waxencross7519]

I searched up “old matchbox game” to find it haha. I was looking forever for it as well

[@TyrannoWright]

I remember this being one of my most played childhood games.

[@zakattack8624]

In my mind, the graphics were so amazing. I can't believe how bad it is not.

[@MoonDovah97]

My child hood right here! :)

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

Any one born in the 90s has played this game including me

[@chaoticgamer5239]

took me forever but i finally found it this game was like my childhood :). but my god I remember it looking so much better lol

[@frankbertuzzi4782]

Between this and Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit, this was my Saturday mornings of my childhood! I wonder what ever happened to my copy of this game?

[@TSL73]

I played this but I also played hot pursuit 2 instead.

[@A10N50]

man I remember playing game so much, but then I'll get bored, and I'll just go into the water to chase after the orca and dolphin then go up to the net to get a peek of the dinosaurs on the other side.

[@barsaf9989]

Wow what a nostalgia hit. I played this, need for speed hot pursuit 2, and motocross madness 2 all the time when I was a kid. Funny how I remember this game having slightly better draw distance than what's in this vid. Loved the different vehicle models and working directionals. Map is really pretty good too. Man, I still remember all of the cut scenes lol. The missions and the way you progress through the game makes it fun and the best thing they did was to not put a time limit for anything.

[@nebulamageplays1541]

After Dark Games, that one Toy Story game, this, and The Incredible Machine were my childhood.

[@jotheorange]

Gawd my nostalgia receptors are being overloaded

[@Paul-ru7cx]

God what a great game back then

[@Apocryphox]

It's absolutely unbelievable how bad optimized this game is but we still played and loved it. Childhood was great.

[@shadow_24]

I played this when I was 3 and i was trying to find it and i forgot the name AND I FOUND IT THE SOUNDS AND THE ARROW AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN ARS SO NOSTALGIC

[@ruiseah]

Wow, I the way I remember this game was that it had majestic graphic. Good times.

[@ccovax]

I remember playing this as a kid and looking back on it now, I would’ve made a TERRIBLE first responder

[@md.alizafir1379]

Aaah the memories We All have with this game The memories I have with this game... 💙

[@uzairrampage]

The first game I ever played on PC. I was more enthralled by its graphics than when I played Uncharted Thief’s End.

[@bigwoof7830]

wow i was not ready for that nostalgia bomb.

[@smh_240]

This game was amazing. I’d pay as much as I could to have a remaster.

[@ishmam125]

Nostalgia

[@saintroddy]

This is what LA Noire's free roam mode should've been lol.

[@Women_Rock]

Jeez. I remember how good I thought these graphics were on my dad’s Windows 98. Even that could still barely run this game. Also just think, people born at the time this game was made are currently legal pornographers.

[@Sombistur]

23:12 wtf

[@mrbeanyboi9659]

yeah young me didnt see it the way i see it now, i was too innocent

[@mariomejia8809]

Man this game, I used to play this game on an old HP computer when i was 3-5, shit holy damn, its 2005-2007 again with this golden game

[@connerkrager9848]

I played this for hours on end

[@PeterHKwok]

I always liked going to the farm and seeing the pigs

[@hazard.33]

I remember playing this alot as a young kid.. but damn.. i think today i would lose my shit playing this.. looks so frustrating to play. The camera and the controls are dog shit lmao

[@derekverveer6058]

The funniest shit is when I found out that using a controller caused the vehicle physics to change. The police bike would turn on a literal dime.

[@jamhousestudios5596]

I remember playing this once or twice and how hard it was to control the cop car or any vehicle for that matter if you used emergency lights

[@rhyannamaynard1198]

omg loved this game as a kid

[@TheRyGuy1776]

I remember there was some place you could get out of the map and you’d just be stuck in an open field full of sheep

[@tidalthrills]

I used to go in the rivers and oceans all the time and there would be sharks and whales there lol

[@rithtep4843]

Remind me my childhood love❤

[@evanhenking2496]

This was my jam when I was 6 omg

[@marathonman182]

God I remember this game from 15 years ago my adhd would get the best of me and I would just start trying to hit the farm animals for an hour or so only to figure out it it makes the collision sound and the car bumps off it which was disappointing then I would also try to glitch out of the map and see if there were other islands to explore oh my 7 year old self I did the weirdest thing

[@vantablack3831]

I petition that matchbox remakes this game for modern consoles

[@userWWG1WGA]

I used to play this game for hours😂

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

I played this all the time tooo as a kid

[@randomguy7624]

I used to play this game when I was like five and played until I was 7.5 years old and now I’m 13

[@Crimson-Hat]

Edit: wtf is wrong in this city? Worst place to live ever. Ahh now I remember this. I also remember not being able to downgrade back the the police car because I didn't like the motorcycle.

[@MrZachbennett34]

I miss being a kid

[@chimpyboi3540]

I swear this game looked a lot better when I was a kid...

[@neallei5982]

Man I forgot that people had mitten hands in the cut scenes

[@drewfudge1852]

I can’t believe I found this, this game was the shit

[@zakattack8624]

20:48 He's enjoying it!

[@Metallislayer1]

1:12 your telling me a man just happens to fall like that?

[@skitz0phrenic]

Ah yes before ukkin

[@Tjstev]

i remember i got this game in a cereal box i lol

[@DragonspineInfiniteZero]

Why dont companies rerelease these on steam or something?

[@zachm4109]

I played this game for fucking hours upon hours when I was a kid

[@sudda2414]

I didn’t realize how shit the carnival and everything else looked lol, forgot when you’re a child everything looks so magical than what it really is

[@mrlucky3793]

crazy how I thought the graphics were good back in the day. Now... lmao

[@blakegriplingph]

So this was kind of like LSPDFR before GTA was cool.

[@dmj24u37]

Not at all, this was out before GTA and LSPDFR, this also was a lot more fun when I was young

[@lpgod5928]

It looks a lot worse graphics than I remembered it

[@anthonyAUSJUVE]

What are the timestamps at the start meant to mean?

[@willlitchfield1486]

getting out of that mine was always a bitch

[@KTILLA23]

Does this run on windows 10?

[@TyrannoWright]

It should, as long as you use compatability mode during installation and gameplay.

[@KTILLA23]

Cool thanks I might bust out my disc

[@lachlanp4198]

@@TyrannoWright Which operating system did you select, I tried XP, 95, 98 and Vista but it wouldn't install on Windows 10 1909

[@aspie1996]

For 2001 the graphics don’t look great.

[@gamzdude]

Used to play this as a kid a lot, well as an adult now I can saldy see the many issues the game has. Not a good game really, and them graphics SUCK. 4/10 seems appropriate for this game.
