Luigi's Debut Game Makes Him Look Cursed

[@riemaennchen]

I like how Luigi isn't even metioned in the title of first game he starred in.

[@Lil.Grandpa]

On brand for him, unfortunately.

[@cursedex80]

Given the game in question, I'd say that's that's a win for him.

[@jf5504]

I know, even Dylan gets mentioned in his segments! 😂 JK! Happy gaming!

[@ThePsychoticWombat]

He was probably known as 'green Mario' even by Nintendo back then

[@guaposneeze]

Yeah, technically Mario is missing from almost every game ever made. You don't see most of them bragging about it.

[@cursedex80]

Happy birthday, Dylan, and hope your day is not dampened by being the same as Mario is Missing's release.

[@Mz_jazzy]

Happy birthday Dylan ❤

[@meow_bastard]

[@Whirl9999]

happy birthday Dylan! Hope you know we always appreciate your work not as just the editor, but also as the rapid fire review portion. We come for the Jared, stay for the Dylan.

[@chrisrj9871]

Mr. Big also had a minor hit with "Just Take My Heart", which is less acoustic and more standard post-80s rock fare. 8:19 - first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DYLAN! Many of us WISH we were 30 again. It's like an extension of 28, really; not old at all, I promise. ...but second: with Disney owning Marvel _and_ 20th Century Studios, this could be totally doable if they wanted! Spider-Man VS. Alien... hey why not?

[@KairuHakubi]

Happy Birthdylan! you know what I like about this show? Indiana Jones is not being brought up because of new movie hype, but because it's June 30th 1993 Also i love how strongly associated Spider-Man is with rock and metal music, between this, the 90s series theme song, and Maximum Carnage, everyone seemed to understand that a guy doing flips and going through tough real life problems and punching dudes totally needs to put you in the mood to rock out.

[@HHog]

The lyrics to "Swingtime", the opening theme to Spider-Man vs. Kingpin, has a phrase where, depending how you listen to it, it could either say "bring on the big guns" or "bring home the bacon".

[@NotABot55]

Happy birthday, editor Dylan! Don't feel too bad... sure this is the same day _Mario is Missing!_ was released, but this is also the same day that _Ghost Trick ~ Phantom Detective_ came out on Switch, XB1, PC, and PS4, not to mention a little something called _Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE._ Yin and yang, the universe unfolds yadda yadda yadda.

Happy Birthday Dylan, thanks for all you do. That Xenomorph was so out of place. XD

[@allthelonely4287]

Happy Birthday editor Dylan.

[@rogerlindenbach4872]

In Mario Is Missing, you actually collect the artifacts from the Koopas and return them to Not-Peach; they are not a reward for the quizzes. For your effort you're granted a tourist photo-opp at the place in question and points based on how long it took. It's more of a geography game than a history game, but considering most of the sites you visit are historically significant, I see why it seems that way.

[@JudaiMaverick86]

Happy Birthday Editor Dylan!

[@GyprockGypsy]

Dude, I'm pretty sure Toby Maguire snapping his fingers to shifty jazz was the last thing I ever saw in a theater too. Starting to wonder if that was traumatizing for a whole generation.

[@ThomatoSauce]

Huh. Funnily enough, Sean Patrick Flanery is making an appearance at my local comic con in Harrisburg, PA in late August.

[@DawnOfTheOzz]

I had thought that cursed image of Luigi would be locked away in the vault of the old internet.

[@BaldoFlores_godmetal]

How cool! I share a birthday with editor Dylan! Happy birthday, sir!

[@jamiemcdonough6548]

Originally I didn't have a comment, then as Editor Dylan was doing his weekly segment. Being amusing as always. I was like right, right, happy birthday, Editor Dylan Lawrence.

[@whispersignal1]

I LOVED The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles as a kid!! Definitely never forgot about that show. That, Amazing Stories, The Jim Henson Hour, Spitting Image, and The Storyteller. Such a great time for television!

[@gamer708886]

Happy birthday the great editor Dylan!

[@Sergevantes]

Happy birthday, Dylan! Hope you can find a copy of Battle Wheels asap! Didn't knew anything about that game! Awesome video as always, guys! I remember wanting to rent Mario is Missing for the NES just because I wanted to play a Mario game that allowed me to ride a Yoshi (Didn't have a SNES back in the day, and watching some Game Shows on TV that showed footage of SMW got me hyped AF). I remember seeing screens of the animated intros for the Spiderman game on Sega CD and I thought the TV series was the original inspiration for them, until I finally watched the series and noticed the artstyle was really different; then I realised I was wrong. (Things premiered really late here in Argentina before Globalization, that's why I got my Genesis in 92-93, instead of 89-90s... So we had this Spiderman Game and the TV cartoon almost at the same time). As for Young Indy... I remember the show was pretty boring to me. Didn't even care about the games at all...

[@Webhead123]

Spider-Man vs. Kingpin was one of the handful of games I had on Sega CD. It was (and still is) an incredible Spider-Man game. It gave a sense of freedom and immersion that no other Spider-Man game had achieved to that point. The animated cutscenes (though cheesy) were very fun and the music was badass. I still randomly listen to the game's soundtrack from time to time because it is just that good.

[@avereynakama9854]

Happy Birthday, Dylan! Okay, glad I'm not the only one that voluntarily played as much Mario is Missing as I could. To be fair, that wasn't very much since it was a rental. I dunno, I like Luigi, it was the first Luigi game and we didn't get a lot of games. What else did we really have? Barbie for the Genesis (I'm ashamed :/) one of those Wisdom Tree Bible games (knowing that it was based off of the original Zelda, of which I was also bad at, I don't feel so bad for not getting far in it) and... a lot were forgettable. Played the daylights out of DKC and DKC 2 when those came out.

[@JeriDro]

I'm 33 and I can recall sometime around 1997 being in a keyboard class learning how to type with a Mario themed typing program

[@JeriDro]

@@Nowinthe90s haha, I had Mavis as well, yea not very exciting..

[@Aranesque]

Something I LOVE about revisiting retro games without other criteria than "year of release" is that is SO COOL to find some actual hidden gems on a system that few people owned back then. That Atari Lynx game looks incredible, I hope developers had a blast making it

[@ferdinandcountfathom9298]

Happy birthday to Dylan! Spider-Man on the Sega CD was the first Spider-Man game that really made me feel like the web-slinger, and that system wasn't just a waste of money... towards the end of its life there were a couple of games that did justify its price, dragon's lair, snatcher, and the incredible Port of eternal champions with cine-kills, which absolutely blew my mind, as secrets in fighting games thrilled me like nothing else

[@jackasshedgehog]

Happy Birthday Dylan ! And thanx for all the fun voiceover you did ! ^_^

[@retrojoe85]

Dylan's humour is top notch! Best wishes for your birthday from Italy, bro! 🎂

[@prairiete]

That Indiana Jones part made me expect a "Time Cruise" joke of sorts. Also, I had a Spiderman game on Mega Drive (Genesis in the US), but all I can remember is 2 background musics. The graphics are similar to almost every Spidey game I've seen in there. It's funny and frustrating also... That being said, happy birthday, editor Dylaaaan !

[@Rob_Thorsman]

Imagine you're walking around in the "real world" and you see some guy in green stomping on turtles.

[@SohakmetGameplay]

Happy birthday, Dylan. Now go help Luigi find Mario in the streets of New York or something like that. He is missing!!

[@mattm7798]

What people now might miss is growing up in the 90s, ANY edutainment game you could play at school was amazing. Video games still had a new car smell to them(if that makes sense) so any time you could play even a bad edutainment game at school, we looked forward to it.

[@ernestgibson8792]

[@gilded_lady]

I can one up that - when I was in middle school (93) we'd spend recess watching kids play Wolfenstein in the library. The librarians did not give a shit as long as we were quiet. lol.

[@TigerNightmare]

Oh god, the cursed music from the Game Gear version of Spider-Man vs Kingpin just got back into my brain. Save yourself, do not look up that game, do not watch footage, do not have sound on, it is going to make me doot da doooo dut, doot da doooo dut, doot dut doo dut, doot dudoot

HBD (belated) to Editor Dylan! may he stay for long, be healthy and remain hilarious!

[@exmello]

I have fond memories of Mario is Missing as it's the game I played most in the hospital after I was in a traffic accident. It kept me occupied for a long time while recovering.

[@mstiefan6996]

I remember really being excited for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles show as I was a huge fan of the movies. The episodes originally all started with a 90 year old Indy telling someone about one of his past adventures...either when he was a child traveling with his parents around the world, or as a teenager that struck out on his own, ending up fighting in World War I among other things. Later on, they cut out the old Indy intros and endings as well as the child focused episodes, leaving just the teenage Indy before they started doing those made for TV movies, including the one they got Harrison Ford to play a 50-some year old Indy telling a story.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Wait, it's Dylan's birthday today? Whoa, same! (I was also born June 30th) Also, when PC Luigi emerges, *_[Pulse and Anxiety intensifies]_* As for Gray Matter Interactive, it shouldn't be confused with Gray Matter Studios, who made Redneck Rampage back when they were Xatrix Entertainment, and later went on to make Return to Castle Wolfenstein, before getting folded into Treyarch and consigned to the Call of Duty mines.

[@shinjiblack9460]

[@chaospoet]

1. Happy Birthday, Dylan! Your birthday is 2 days after mine. Hope yours was as fun as mine was. 2. I knew someone when I was in school who had a Lynx and Battle Wheels and let me play it one day at lunch. The only Lynx game I've ever played, but I remember being sad when lunch ended and I had to give it back because I thought it was awesome. 3. Yeah, the 90s had a thing for young, teenager versions of heroes. Young Indiana Jones was one. Prior to that there was Superboy but instead of it being a separate character it was just Young Superman. As well as Young Hercules. There may be more but I can't think of any offhand.

Happy birthday Dylan! Can you tell I'm a friendly guy? I remember first playing Mario Is Missing over at my cousin's place. I was too young to be dropped off at my house at the time because I would be alone, so instead they dropped me off at my cousin's house that was just down the road a ways. My one cousin had games and I would play some while I was over there. I played stuff like Aladdin and Kirby's Dream Land. I also took a chunk of one day to play MIM and get as far as I could. I knew it wasn't the greatest, but it felt good to make progress. I remember my cousin using the game as an opportunity to talk about violence in games and how so many games utilize it. I think she was interested in MIM because it was less violent...but then I pointed out to her how you still stomp koopas to death. I still have the game to this day.
