This is the Worst Nintendo AD&D Game But It's Worth The Most

[@hunterbless6466]

Really liked Dylan talking about how Flintstones should NOT go from $200-800 in one month, so much sketchy stuff like that seems to happen in this hobby with no one talking about it

[@MiddleFingerLimited]

Yeah, someone manipulated that price for sure. Also, to anyone that doesn't know, look up the video on WATA that Karl Jobst made. It's disgusting.

[@dyciefisk2535]

Something like "buying" it from himself from another account to inflate the market price. I've seen it done at TCGPlayer before, some seller doing it to increase the median price and then actually sell it for more then the price was supposed to be.

Thank you Dylan for pointing when some seller-asshats are trying to artificially inflate the price of a rare game.

Regarding loading screen interactivity (5:40), the Commodore 64 had "Invade-a-load" back in 87. Rock solid version of Space Invaders you could play while the main game still had 2-3 minutes of tape loading left to complete.

[@DMBLaan]

The Wak-a-gator was fun, but who remembers the standing Stomp-a-Spider (or whatever it was called lol) where you had to step on the spiders as they lit up? That game had multiple levels, a boss fight, and some amazing voice acting and sound effects!

Point Blank DS has Wak-a-gator as a mini game.

[@Sly88Frye]

I'm completely certain the WATA Games scandal of price-fixing and making games more expensive than they are supposed to be has to do with that Flintstones game suddenly going up in price an August of 2022

[@LeoFan93]

Dynamix definitely did their fair share of adventure games. Outside of Willy Beamish and Rise of the Dragon, they did Heart of China, Rama and they even worked on the 5th entry of the Space Quest series, due to Sierra relocating co-creator Mark Crowe to Dynamix in order to help them get familiar with Sierra's in-house adventure game engine SCI.

[@mystbunnygaming1449]

Ever wonder why loading screen minigames stopped being a thing? It was because the company that published the DBZ Budokai games, forget which one that was off the top of my head, successfully got a patent on load screen mini-games, and all they did was sit on it and sue anyone else who tried to do it.

[@avereynakama9854]

When my brother borrowed his friend's Sega CD back in the summer of '98, Willy Beamish was in the box of games that came with it. Played the game a little bit, but spent most of the time playing Lunar 2, Snatcher, and Sega CD. Also, still can't hear Dylan over the loud box art of Rollerblade Racer.

I had a 4-player adapter, but it didn't need batteries. It plugged into both ports of the console, and had a longer cord than the controllers themselves. I would use it both as an extension cord as well as ensuring my controllers would actually work. Just like I used my Game Genie more to make it more likely for my games to work than just putting them in on their own.

[@GabePuratekuta]

I see the one Jared showed had a sensor on it. Maybe it's compatible with wireless controllers?

[@trueakuma777]

We didn't have the NES Satellite when I was a kid. My parents wisely got us the NES Four Score, which was essentially the same type of four-player adapter complete with "turbo" functionality. The big difference was that the Four Score was wired and plugged into both controller ports on the NES, so there was no need for batteries. Plus, the cable for the Four Score was a good six feet long, allowing it to be placed conveniently among four people or to function as a sort of extension cord even when only being used by one or two players. We only had one game that took advantage of the four- player functionality, Super Off Road, but it was still a great accessory to have since as previously mentioned it had "turbo" toggles for the A and B buttons and it also worked well as an extension cord. Thanks for the entertaining video and stay safe out there!

[@42Mrgreenman]

9:55 That is actually pretty funny as there is a big controversy going on around the fighting game community around "Leverless" controllers like Hitbox...which are basically just that smash controller with a few more buttons...

[@peterchaseify]

I was hoping at some point of the video Jared would stand up and dance, both for humor and so I could see the bottom/left shoulder of Jared's shirt so I could figure out: a) why he's wearing a Christmas shirt in February, b) where the pun is since all I can read is "Christmas + Merry..." something something.

Perhaps the prehistoric theme was overplayed in 1993, but I wish it would make a comeback. There's something really comfy about the jungle/volcano island settings they usually take place in, and dinosaurs are always nice (scientific inaccuracy aside).

Technically, Bomberman II WASN'T the first in the series to introduce the iconic battle mode. It actually started with Bomber Boy/Atomic Punk/Dynablaster on the Game Boy in 1991, followed by Bomberman for the Turbografx-16 (aka Dyna Blaster for Amiga, MS-DOS and Atari ST) and Bomberman/Atomic Punk/Dynablaster for the arcades. Also, I'm not too sure about the story mode either, since pretty much every Bomberman game before II already had some kind of story going on in the game itself or at least some kind of cutscene.

[@KazumaGShep]

Been absolutely loving this show Jared. It's not often I look forward to new uploads on KZbin but this is the one thing I look forward to.

[@TigerNightmare]

I always wanted a four player adapter, but I never had more than two friends over at a time except that one birthday party I had, and none of my games supported four players except for Anticipation, which in full four player mode had two people sharing half of a controller. If you think 6 C batteries is a lot, the official Atari Lynx battery pack used 6 D batteries, an entire pound of extra weight to your "portable" gaming experience. I was disappointed that it wasn't like the one for the Game Boy, which was both an AC adapter and a rechargeable power cell.

[@01100101011100100111]

11:15 Six C batteries is extreme, but the real question I have is: How did the wireless tech work? Did it actually use RF (Radio Frequency) like the Wavebird, or was it another finicky IR (Infrared) connection? I remember having a wireless IR controller for the N64 that was near unusable due to horrible input lag and having to hold the controller in a constant position aimed at the IR receiver plugged into the console.

[@TigerNightmare]

If you look closely at the NES Satellite, it has that sort of dark red sensor rectangle, something you'll find on the front of your typical remote control. I think the only wireless peripheral that didn't use IR was the Power Glove, which used ultrasonic soundwaves.

[@01100101011100100111]

Willy Beamish was the very first Sega CD game I picked up after getting the console and its pack-in games. Man, the early-to-mid 90s were something else. Great times! :) EDIT: Yeah, the NES Satellite was a beast with batteries. I couldn't remember that it was 6, but I knew it was C or D batteries. I personally had the NES Four Score because I was never sold on wireless anything.
