By the way, I never was scared or saddened by the ending song for spongebob episodes, I thought of it as quite comforting, actually. Like, the episode is over, but I had a good time, it felt as a nice goodbye for me personally.

[@matthewrohde8380]

funny how this game deals with Plankton's fear of whales when this came out a few years before the infamous episode One Coarse Meal.

[@SolarFarle]

Somewhere in an alternate timeline AWE is still making point and click SpongeBob PC games and are getting Steam releases going forward. But the PC versions of the console games had to do what Nighty Nightmare did by giving them completely different names and half of them are just mini game compilations.

[@tinyveil]

This game was absolutely horrifying as a little kid. I couldn’t muster the strength to get past the alien jellyfish 😂

[@justin2308]

The creature that actually scared me as a kid to the point I couldn’t play that particular level very often was the Soap Scum. There was something about the way they just slowly made their way over to you… Overall, though, this game was awesome to me as a kid- especially the nightmare segments- and probably my favorite of the non-point-and-click titles that AWE put out for SpongeBob, at least in terms of story. Also, convenient how you also got it at a book fair. I wonder how many of us have that same story…

[@saladplainzone]

I own this game physically, twice, actually! It seemingly got two releases, once as Nighty Nightmare in a large box and once as CFTKK in a little jewel case. They're identical, the only difference is the name. I wonder if some poor kid got both, lol

[@anonymousrandomness1374]

I also had two physical copies! One was standalone in a relatively large box, while the other came in a set called Four Squared which supposedly had Operation: Krabby Patty, CFTKK, Lights Camera Pants, and The Movie. The others were the respective aWe games, but CFTKK was Nighty Nightmare. If memory serves, what we ordered online was advertised merely as Lights, Camera, Pants, so I was thrilled to get ~two~ games I hadn't played (the other being The Movie). (sorry for the late reply)

[@BooomTomb]

Too Bad There’s No Awe Version Of The Cosmic Shake

[@derekfoxwit3058]

Imagine that game's story in a point-and-click format

[@DylanThePannierEngine]

Well that’s a relive…

[@Idiotbox186]

It's really fun seeing people talk about their experiences playing old Spongebob PC games. When I was young I thought I was the only person who played these 😅 I LOVED Employee of the Month and Battle for Bikini Bottom (no matter how hard I raged) as well as Spongebob Obstical Odyssey (I have vague memories of that one but it was kinda strange)

[@thinbulb8832]

I used to love watching people play these games on KZbin when I was a kid, it's so comforting taking this trip back and actually hearing someone talk about them!!

[@danvsclips8326]

I find the idea funny of you being the guy who reviews all the ‘off-brand’ Spongebob games. Like after finishing all the PC games you do the Gameboy and DS games, ports included, and then the mobile and edutainment games. Basically everything but the main console ones

[@burbankmusic]

i was literally just thinking of how much fun nighty nightmare was as a kid and wondering if it was even a real game

[@patrickpeer7774]

That was a wonderful speech at the end. I'll try to follow your suggestion, but I find it difficult. I can't really re-experience these games as if I'm playing them for the first time again. It's still fun to play them again from time to time, but at the same time there's just this emptiness and unfulfillment that really wishes there was more to AWE's SpongeBob games timeline. More games or more undiscovered lore. Maybe that sounds a bit too silly, but it's kinda the sadness of nostalgia I feel and maybe it's something greater like missing my whole childhood and how much more carelessly I experienced life back then. Playing these games make me realise that more than they let me re-experience the old time again, unfortunately.

[@gottastoppo]

I'm kind of jealous with your beautiful disk collection, I just have one disk with all the spongebob games.

[@SaddieMoon]

Breature from the Krusty Karb

[@Eli-ls9hp]

NO,THIS IS NIGHTY NIGHTMARE

[@SaddieMoon]

@@Eli-ls9hp Is this Breature from the Krusty Karb?

[@Eli-ls9hp]

@@SaddieMoon noooo this is nighty nightmare.

[@cowaborange]

I have forever engrained the "I'll be back" "and I'll be here" dialogue from the beginning of employee of the month

[@emrickazor2610]

Nighty Nightmare was AWE??? Man, I remember this game. There were so many aspects that creeped me out as a kid. The enemies in the Spongebob levels genuinely traumatized me for years. The jellyfish level specifically scared the hell out of me. I will never unhear "I don't wanna THINK about what could have just happened to me! Oh know! I'M THINKING ABOUT IT!", because that's one of the death lines in that minigame, and as someone who sucks at stealth games, I died a LOT on that one. The Plankton nightmare sequence also creeped me out, because the fleshy background always just felt too real to me.

[@shreksnow1918]

That was interesting. It’s too bad the game isn’t fleshed out. It would’ve been nice to see this as a point and click adventure game (too bad those are basically dead) or a mini game collection that had actual variety (sure, some of the mini games in previous titles are on par with your average Flash game, but they’d break up the repetition). I really hope that somebody does a documentary video on AWE Games, talks to the people involved, and figures out what happened behind the scenes. Too bad those two games you mentioned at the beginning of the video weren’t real. It would’ve been interesting to see what they’d do with those. I’m definitely glad I grew up playing the console version of CFTKK and not this. That bizarre fever dream (pun not intended) has a special place in my heart.

[@Mrs.Jekyll]

I kinda wanted to share a game from my childhood. its made by the developers of these spongebob games. I looked them up, and apparently they made the PC game of brats rock angelz. I really enjoyed that game by them too. except I couldn't beat the final level, it was a rhythm mini game. At least I knew how it all ended because I watched the movie before it! So yeah, the 2 spongebob games and that bratz game by AWE games, was really special to my childhood! Even though the spongebob games was borrowed by a neighbor

[@bandicootbrawl9674]

I remember finding this game really difficult because of the controls and mechanics, mainly on Plankton's dreams. Man this game is nostalgic but also not really that good lol. Also I got this game on a multi game pack and it was advertised as Creature from the Krusty Krab and I was really confused on why the actual game had a different title lmao

[@kinda_offensive1389]

thank you so much for making these videos for the click and play games, i have a large project i started making covering these games but i have yet to finish the video unfortunately my job and the gym have been keeping me too busy. Hopefully ill post it soon and revive this microscopic community!

[@GamingGardevoir]

Another amazing video my man! It’s certainly been a trip revisiting these games…

[@1080Frostbite]

I've been looking forward to this. You're doing great!

[@BrandonWaters99]

It’s a shame how underwhelming “Nighty Nightmare”/“CFTKK PC” turned out. They must’ve had a MUCH smaller budget than their previous games. I can understand “Operation Krabby Patty” though, since it’s one of their earlier titles. I remember renting the Gamecube version numerous times as a kid. And I was given the PC version in 2010. Had the CFTKK artwork and sleeve. But the names on the files were “Nighty Nightmare”. I think the reason why the game is named and plays the way it does is because the development of CFTKK was an entire mess in itself. The original title was “Spongebob 40 Winks”. So somewhere in development, the name was considered to be “Nighty Nightmare”.

[@anthonymarziano9984]

I'm glad you got to review a game you really loved as a kid.

[@maccamachine]

I’m glad there’s someone still talking about these pc spongebob games they were really something special. Keep up the great videos I would watch any video you make about old computer games

[@qje3204]

i played this game as a kid and never ever heard anything about it during that point or after, i wasn’t sure it was even a real game cause of how there was just NOTHING. i only got to the nightmare version of the first level as far as i recall and i only found out this was a genuine spongebob title a year or two ago

[@qje3204]

there was also some other game i’m remembering now that was a free trial and you just drove around bikini bottom in the patty wagon and it’s audibly tell you in the game every now and again that you were playing a free trial and when time was up (though from what i remember about THAT, was you could keep playing for some reason after the time was up..) but that game was probably just a random thing i downloaded.. given i was like 9 or 10 at the time probably lol

[@v0id525]

Even just hearing the music fills me with a certain uneasy feeling. This game had such an oddly sinister feeling as a kid. The SpongeBob levels just really didn't sit right with me. I wonder if this studios whole jellyfish being aliens plot inspired the planet of the jellyfish episode.

[@Samuel-b]

I remember buying this game from a scholastic book fair when it first came out. I couldn't even finish it because it creeped me out so bad and was too difficult.

[@cozyzzz6039]

I loved this game as a kid!!! I used to play this on my mom's laptop all the time!!!

[@tjman4616]

Fun fact about the jellyfish level there actually are arrows on the ground. They're Kinda hard to see and when I played this game as a kid my dad had to point it out to me lol. They're on the ground throughout the level and they're green

[@NibzEntertainment]

15:23 Fitting, because "fart" is also Swedish for "speed", which Starfishman gains by "farting".

[@Ensign_games]

I had this game as a child.

[@alexandersotomurillo5795]

12:56 okay, it seems that Plankton Got Served is now canon

[@JaviXavierOfficial]

So plankton’s nightmare is just pikmin

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

Gotta wonder though - why is this the only time they renamed game? Yeah, I guess because there wasn't actually a Creature of the Krusty Krab. But couldn't have BFBB and LCP also gotten alternate names so that they can be more distinct from the rest? Well, it's been fun watching your retrospectives. Any chance you could also review some of the non-Spongebob AWE games?

[@missmonke8706]

I played this, and I think that explains why I am the way I am

[@gracekim1998]

Ooooo I actually found a long play video of this game today so this is great timing 😊

[@sanitynotfound866]

Your videos is such a memory trip. Thx for brought back childhood memories ;) Do you know about another game from Awe Games, avatar the last airbender for PC? This game don't have any video besides long-play, but i remember how hard and unforgiving this game is.

[@lucililium]

Thank you so much! And I haven't played that one, but I did try a few other AWE games when I was younger. I'll have to look into it!

[@PurpleFoxy87]

I remember Plankton’s good dream being really hard as a kid.

[@llayo]

The Gameboy version is the best version of creature from the krusty krab

[@Paper_Sunset]

That ending man My gf ghosted me after being together for year+ everything was fine and we hangout every single day. Then she just got a new job and just ghosted me for an unknown reason (at least to me) We have never had an augment or disagreement on anything and it was always positive. But your ending I can relate to. I can still cherish the memories I had with her but need to look forward to the future

[@maddog6620]

You are awesome

[@lucililium]

Thank you so much!!! So are you!

[@bradythomas234]

This game and toon twister i always saw at bookfairs all the time (i bought the latter) I also think i remember my teachers said we had to get atleast one book if we wanted to get non book stuff lol

[@Mrs.Jekyll]

For a kids game. This is terrifyingly creepy!

[@FireEmblemTheRedTower]

THERE WAS A PC VERSION OF THIS GAME TOO?:0 This, GBA, and console = canon period.

[@Magma-storm56]

Yeah we don’t talk about the ds version

[@aaww1010]

Funny enough, I found nightly nightmare as a kid from a book fair, but chose to get the nickelodeon video making game that you got lol and a Pokémon book

[@BradyMorrison-s5m]

Since its a dream i think spongebobs jellyfish nightmare is supposed to not make sense

[@soapsub001]

Great success! Niiiiice (it’s a reference to one movie) P.S What do you think about the learning company scooby doo pc games?

[@lucililium]

Thank you so much!! And I haven't played those, but they look like they're worth checking out!!

[@RodirodDude]

oh well here it is 😳

[@SamInsaneGaming]

13:12 this is basically plankton pikmin

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

I was the same with the Sleepy Time robots in the console version of BFBB

[@captainmatt-asmr]

Do you think Plankton's nightmare of being eaten by a whale inspired the episode where Plankton is afraid of Pearl?!

[@lucililium]

Possibly! The alien jellyfish were also an element in a later episode, so this game might've inspired some stuff that came up in the actual show!

[@edd.5169]

i own a copy of this on pc for windows xp. cover didnt say "nighty nightmare" though

[@KaminoKatie]

15:35 More like Freakyman

[@Kyubeyisbestboy]

spongebob abused me as a kid

[@monopolyrubix1875]

💙

[@Uncle-Jay]

I'm not really impressed. Some of the art and stuff is great and some of it's awful. I noticed Plankton's legs were all wonky in that opening cutscene. That monster mini stage with Plankton would have been a lot of better if they had done a Rampage Clone instead.

[@keijijohnson9754]

17:10 - IT'S CALLED "NIGHTY NIGHTMARE"!! With a title like that, it should've been expected for the visuals to have more of a disturbing edge to it! Even though it isn't really all that terrifying to begin with.The heck did you expect dude...?🙄

[@Pluelul]

whales r not fish. good video though

[@jessejones1783]

i have never cared about this last game growing up in 2000 because i have better games i played
