Regarding the ending, the lead designer said: "We were contacted by the band after they saw the game at a European trade show. They asked if they could use our visuals for a video. We thought this was rather strange and wonderful and said, sure but how about you let us use the video in the game itself. Our animator overlayed some of the games characters on the video and apparently that upset someone over there. I never met anyone from the band or ever heard from them again. Just a couple of ships that passed by in the night." -Nick Bruty

[@Cephalopod51]

I always thought the reason the game ended with a 90s cover of an old French protest rock song about Vietnam was because Kurt was emotionally exhausted and mentally messed up by his experience fighting those bizarre aliens. He is after all a janitor who hasn't had previous battle experience, and he's had to save the Earth multiple times from titanic minecrawlers within only a few minutes, and he's been nearly killed and hurt pretty badly throughout that whole game. That's a lot for an average person to take in, even if Kurt is operated by a master MDK player. All in all, I love MDK for pretty much the same reasons you gave, Civvie. I'm still impressed how Shiny managed to implement all that awesome interactivity and sophisticated features within the software limitations. I recommend checking out their last game, Sacrifice. It's sort of like MDK meets StarCraft , WarCraft, and a fantasy RPG.

The second one is a mishmash of various play styles and weird design choices like completely stopping the action dead so you can solve some pixel hunting sniper puzzle. It's just a weird game.

[@vilheimtheunsinkable9646]

All these years, finally. Thank you Civvie, I have tried to remember this game. I played this game in 3rd grade on school computers. Now I know what it's called

[@XinKotetsu]

Pro Oni when? It’s a western anime game, the only one of its kind besides Shogo. It’s also a third person fighting game with GUNPLAY. And made by Bungie and came out two months before Halo 1.

[@audiosurfarchive]

Oni isn't good. I'm sorry.

[@dukkemonterier3429]

@@audiosurfarchive At least was better than the new Ghost In The Shell and a better "Ghost In The Shell" game than the official ones. I dig for a gameplay but I want a MDK2 one too. Idk I love those games

[@LarryHazard]

@@audiosurfarchive it is good just a bit empty. If you play through the first levels it gets better Could have been refined more but I've never found another game that plays like Oni but better

[@MrRetrogoo]

Well civvie covers all types of classic games from doom all the way down to Shatner

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

@@dukkemonterier3429 the PS1 GitS game is great though.

[@helio_shows]

Civvie should try Sacrifice, it's from Shinny as well. I know it's technically a RTS, but it's one of the most weird/eccentric ever made.

"the very best [visuals] 1997 had to offer." Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee wants you to turn on location. (Ngl though this game's first level is probably the second biggest influence to my aesthetic sensibilities.)

[@omnirhythm]

word. Abe had, and still has imho the most cinematic graphics and mood. It's just odderworldly. Lorne touches on this in War Stories: watch?v=Y7f0YtzWBG4

[@guyofminimalimportance7]

So it's a super fluent, innovative 3rd person shooter which is only three hours long. This was the 90's version of vanquish.

[@DieJG]

That...that makes way too much sense!

[@mrosskne]

Fluid. Not fluent.

[@JunkCCCP]

​@@mrosskneyou could describe it as fluent in the 3rd person shooter genre.

[@mrosskne]

Everything about this game is a masterpiece, but especially the soundtrack. Blasting the CD version regularly, good stuff.

[@HourOfOblivion]

Fun fact, the ice level is in Kirkcaldy where I was born, surprisingly though its not a arctic wasteland in real life, just a regular one.

[@ReverendPuffin]

Aye, Kirkcaldy is a wasteland, but at least it's not Larkhall. At least we got this out of Kirkcaldy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqq7kJ1_rbt9q7s

Hey Civvie! I just discovered your channel recently and I wanted to thank you for this review. MDK was the first game I ever played at the age of 4 and I'm really happy to see someone review it with the passion it deserves. You're the boss.

[@whamtheman]

Stumbled on this channel a week ago, never having heard of it before. Have now watched all videos, and this is now my favourite channel on this bloody site! Good show!

[@xmm-cf5eg]

Welcome to the Dungeon, enjoy your stay.

[@samanderson806]

This is probably still one of my top favorite games I have ever played.

[@Arkl1te]

*Wakes up, reads notification* "Hey look, civvie uploa--HOLY SHIT MDK?!" YES! *clicks* YES! *watches 'till the end* YES EXACTLY WTF IS THIS ENDING LOL!! Tommy Tallarico's one of the best composers in videogame music history imo. I'm guessing someone else told you this already, but here we go: with the bomber that stacks quickly to 10 in the first level, you can actually destroy the ceilings of the buildings, and for every ceiling you destroy, a parachute item is deployed. Your video is gold. 👌

[@_XR40_]

Also worth mentioning that it was the first game of it's type that didn't use "loading" screens between levels (the tunnels connecting segments covered that), thus the player was never slowed down by the game...

[@dannyboi5887]

More games seriously need to utilise that more often. It's such a genius design choice

[@ClexYoshi]

well, I guess this is the last episode of Civvy's Dungeon. Pack it up, kids. it's over. it's all Pro (game) episodes from here on out.

[@peanutbutterdijonnaise]

I remember my brother playing through this back when I was younger and I didn't know it had a sense of humor and was worth playing. Later on when I was 9 I played the demo to MDK 2 and was instantly charmed with it's unique humor, art style, and gameplay mechanics. The sequel was worth a full playthrough, IMO.

[@TheHylianJuggalo]

Oh my god, you just taught me how to fix this thing. Thank you. :D 5:07 for anyone who needs to know how to patch this game.

[@indeedidosir]

we have no idea if the soundtrack was actually tommy. probably wasn’t. probably was joey.

[@nameless5413]

YES! Civvie plays MDK! i am not going crazy that game was actually released and someone knowledge it! (and MDK2 also exists but you know). To be fair i do own both but only liked the first because i am too dumb to get past the (first) doc section on MDK 2. Man imagine if he gets to play Oni at some point .)

[@shawdawg2852]

Civie, ever thought about doing a video on Tron 2.0. Definitely needs the killer app fan upgrade, but a game well worth playing. One of the rare licensed games that works.

[@Levyathyn]

This is a game that sticks with you. I can say that confidently, as someone who finally remembers almost everything about it even more than a full decade and a half later.

[@KiraSlith]

Sometimes I rewatch this video to remind myself that yes, it is entirely possible for games to be both creative AND original and some studios are trying too hard, or in most cases, not hard enough.

[@Tapahtumahorisontti]

MDK's soundtrack is amazing. I remember downloading it back in 2006, burning it to a CD and listening to it in my car.

[@nicolasordiz6043]

Civvie, following the TPS topic, you should Totally do the PlayStation 1 "Apocalypse", with Bruce Willis
