"Little Britain" deserves an AVGN Episode for sure!!!

[@judge_dreddpool7593]

The day that happens will be the day the apocalypse occurs.

Might be a good Cygnus Destroyer Innocent Until Proven Guilty as well.

I bought it for like £20 when it was quite new when I was maybe 13 and I played it all the time and it was so hard! :(

[@danielgiddings8839]

I bought it for 50p sealed a few years ago cos I like the TV series. Its still sealed after my friend told me he played it and he'd rather be continuously kicked in the nuts for the rest of his life than play this game ever again.

Hugo was also a phone TV game, where you would call a number on your home phone to play the game on a live TV show. It’s like a modern 2D endless runner where you would compete with other caller. Obviously lag was enough of a nuance to make the whole game more like a scam

[@manganmegamangan]

remeber seeing hugo on hajk in the summer on tv in sweden

[@Turk182_]

Believe me or not, in Turkey Hugo is more popular than Mario Bros.

[@cloudmp]

Yeah, Hugo was popular in Brazil too

[@muccisebastian9300]

Hugo was more rigged than Bush Florida election presidency 😆

Don’t forget Gregory Horror Show!

[@IndysGameplayVids]

That Yakuza Fury looks like an obvious ripoff to the Yakuza games if you ask me. Even the main hero ripped off Kazuma Kiryu even in the name!

[@ShoXwavee]

Yeah its quite obvious

[@CAMZAB]

Yep, clear blind spot on the SEGA Yakuza series there.

[@qishmish]

it's from Simple 2000 series, which was for japanese ps2 market what low tier indie devs to steam now. those were very budget, nearly amateur games. though among them some became legendary and awesome, like EDF series.

[@GacMan47]

I think it is part of the series. A spinoff

[@TeruteruBozusama]

Weird thing it, it appears to have been released in Europe before the first Yakuza game was released in Japan..! They may have seen it announced and hurried to get their game done before Sega's..! It has happened with movies so it could happen with games too I guess..!

[@EvtheNev]

Always find it weird hearing US collectors talk about PS1 & PS2 PAL games, when these are the games I grew up with.

When it comes to Glass Rose you can actually plug in a regular USB mouse and use that to play. Makes it slightly less. Cumbersome to play the game, but doesn’t help the game otherwise.

[@Cellfix]

Really?? That I have to try out!

[@michaelle1423]

Zombie Hunters and Gregory Horror Show are two worthy PAL games on the PS2

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Dear god, I hope not! LOL

[@sgtjasonbond]

Wait, didn't the game also go through some controversy because a girl lied about her age saying she was 18 but she was actually like 16 or something or am I thinking of another game?

[@videogamerka0009]

When comes to PAL exclusive games you should definitely import Forbidden Siren 2 and trust me it's very improved from the first one. They made puzzles much easier. It's one of the best survival horror games i have ever played. Also there's another great PAL survival horror called Gregory Horror Show.

[@mandibiedermann2246]

Also Cursed Eye of Isis another PAL survival horror

To my knowledge, that PS2 He-Man game is not a sequel, but rather it's own game based on the 2002 He-Man tv series.

Evil Twin looks really cool. 3D platformers were are my favorite genre of that era. It looks different and very unique. I'll definitely be adding it to my collection.

[@mjackson8481]

Wasn’t “forbidden siren 2” pal also?

[@ImmoralFlame]

Indeed.

[@rustamc24]

Yes, it was in PAL, not released in US. It's a shame because it has some improvements over the 1st game and is really good survival-horror game for its time. It's also very rare to find

[@Pholiage]

Hugo was featured on teen tv shows here in Sweden during the early 90s where you could call in and play the Amiga/Dos version using the buttons on your phone and if you managed to find the way out of the maze you could win prizes.

Hell, the PAL version of ICO had the real ending, the US version did not, it also had somewhat of a new game plus, adding more content to make it vastly replayable.

[@HiddenGemHunt]

Loved the video, can’t wait for part 2! And Jason, if you can find it, maybe consider adding “Knights of the Temple: Infernal Cruzade” to the list, It’s pretty heavy metal!

[@symbianrulez2247]

Here in Spain we had a TV Show in the early 90s where you could call them by phone and if you were the chosen one you could control HUGO on TV with your voice. How surreal!

[@robthemodYT]

Apparently this show aired versions all across Europe. For instance ITV in the UK aired it on saturday mornings. It aired on France3 in france and Kabel 1 in Germany. It also (supposedly) aired in China with a 30 Second delay so they could cut the feed if anything bad is said. I couldn't imagine playing the game with that level of delay.

[@GameChest]

Hey MJ (Just noticed the abreviature sounds awkward...), long time viewer, first-time comment i belive. Anyway, the Hugo game was very known around here (EU, but i'm from Portugal) because in the mid 90s, it was a videogame TV show! Basically you would call to the show and then you would play the game, live from your home, using the key numbers on the telephone. The keys would make a sound that would make the character move. For example: 4 for the left, 6 for the right, 8 for jump and 2 for duck. The first version was a on-rail platformer similar to the ones we find nowadays on the smartphones. I tried my luck back in the day but unfortunately i never got the chance to play. Investigate, it's a fun trivia. Cheers!
