The History of CarnEviL - Arcade documentary - Fixed audio

[@NihilisticWhim]

I remember the Halloween of '98 fondly. I thought my trick-or-treating was being cut short but my mom told me we were going to the local Putt Putt Golf because something special was happening. My mom often took me there and was a light gun game enthusiast while I only liked House of the Dead. I get there, hyped on sugar and candy, to see the CarnEvil game where the old Area 51 was. My mom and I spent two hours on that game (and maybe over $10 just on Hambone) and got the high score for a while. I'll always remember that night and my mother's love of light gun games, I'll have to link this vid to her!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That is awesome and thanks for sharing. I love hearing memories of parents especially kids bonding with parents over videogames. I used to play Atari bowling and baseball with my dad. Cheers

[@ConsoleCleric]

The thing about this game that makes it incredible? The amount of enemy variety. There's over 40 different monsters in the game. Up to this point, most other lightgun games had recycled their enemy designs. In addition, Carnevil required each monster to be 3D rendered as well. Having a dip-switch to apply cosmetic changes to a boss is quite unique.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I agree, Over 40 unique bosses in the game Is unheard of especially back in 1998

[@robbieschweigert2700]

When I was a kid our local arcade let you buy there machines if you paid them enough. My parents got me this for Christmas and I still have it. Best gift I’ve ever received! Still have the machine to this day

[@jovicioso]

This game freaked me out so much as a kid. Just going to bowling alleys or arcades and seeing the cover art shook me to my core. I just remembered this game like 10 minutes ago and looked up the title to see what all younger me’s fuss was about.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL it was quite disturbing especially for little kids

[@johndavey2340]

I was in the same boat!! Way to scared to ever dare play it as a kid but I couldn’t help but watch the intro video every time I walked past the bowling alley arcade.

[@stfn4472]

Thanks a lot music is awesome

[@Craig_Fulk]

There used to be an arcade that was connected to a movie theatre here in Louisville Kentucky. I remember going to see Pokemon: The First Movie with my best friend and mom, and afterwards going over to the arcade where I first played this awesome game. I bought the flyer that advertised the game off of eBay years later. Really wish it would have gotten a home port instead of having to emulate it every time, but hey, at least it's still playable.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Like how after all of that he decided to play again. The protagonist is dumbfounded. Or he likes the rush.😂

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Then everybody started copying it.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yeah, at least we have the game in some form to play at home

[@ryohio4706]

Lol, same bro. There was a movie theater in my hometown that also had an arcade attached. That's where I first discovered Carnevil and house of the dead, fell in love instantly. I've had a soft spot for Carnevil all these years, I love the design and everything about it, lol

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

I think they were setting up for a Carnevil 2 at the end.

[@nicocucsi]

I have a very loving memory of this game. I only played it once when I was a kid and on vacation, and it was the only arcade game I've played with my late father. I remember getting the sensation of being in front of something very different, and it stuck on my all over the years. Great video man!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

[@roguerifter9724]

Its odd. I never realized three of my top five favorite lightgun games were from Midway until then. This, Terminator 2, and Revolution X. I played this once or twice a week (whenever I visited my then local Walmart) for a few months until I moved to the town I live in now plus I played it in many arcades and Pizza places. Edit: I hate the ending. I saw it three times, and the second and third I and whoever I was teaming with were trying to figure out how to unlock a good ending. After beating the game without Betty taking a hit and still getting the same end (It was a rumor one of my friends told me that claimed doing so was the path to the good end.) and still getting the same ending I gave up. I played the game more times but never bothered beating it again.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It's strange, aside from the Easter eggs there really isn't any alternate paths or different endings which kind of hurts the replay value. With that being said still fantastic creepy shooter

[@nomenclature7662]

Revolution x was absolute fire. I played it at a local Laundromat. Never beat it but spent days and infinite quarters lmao

[@mubokamikaze3596]

This game was one of my favorite arcade shooters. And the ending is gold. I love how you put the coin back in like you didn't just go through hell. 😂😂😂

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

[@lr4165]

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

So do I

[@joespeigle1240]

On a trip to Bend, Oregon with my son, we discovered this game in a retro arcade that was downtown. $5 an hour for unlimited play, and we blasted through Carnevil's entirety

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That is a heck of a deal

[@marcellam2581]

One of my earliest memories of going to the arcade in the mall. Carnevil, DDR and the giant Jurassic park cabinet

[@jamiehalfkin5813]

Same here bro, my local mall ono g island had an arcade connected to it and I played all the same games lmfao.

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

I discovered this at Galloping Ghost recently and it's one of the most fun light gun games I've ever played. I'm shocked that they never ported it to consoles. It's true about how fast things move, I still feel like this video introduced me to a lot of things I hadn't seen!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That's awesome, glad my silly little video could help out

[@ThatManOverThere]

Honestly, I think they didn't port it cause it was in that kind of weird era of technology, where no one really knew what it would land on due to being too well speced for the consoles already out, but not enough of a draw to justify porting to something newer. Is a great game, and beating it is a lot of fun.

[@Phoenix7786]

Both times I've been to Galloping Ghost the lightgun games were all waaaay off as far as the guns' accuracy was concerned. How did you compensate for that?

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

@@Phoenix7786 That's been spotty for me. I was there about a month ago and several gun games were moved and had been fixed since last time. With Carnevil I had trouble when monsters were near the edge of the screen so I chose my targets accordingly. Police Trainer 2 worked flawlessly and was incredibly fun, I kept at it until I managed to beat it.

[@loganjorgensen]

I can imagine that meeting "They don't like shooting the baby.", "But it's a giant monster that vomits acid?", "Even still let's think of an alternate option." yeesh.🙄

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

No doubt

[@jeremyhall2727]

I always wonder what this game was. Thank you for making this. It really seems fun

[@pastelstarchild4833]

I only found out about this game from a boss battle video randomly in my recommended, so I watched out of morbid curiosity, and honestly I love this game! I never played it cause it was before my time, but I can tell this game was put together with so much passion! Especially the art style and gore which was so hard to do at that time, but they did it well and honestly I think even if it’s not realistic, I love the cartoony and low polygon style. I honestly wish more horror games would do that especially nowadays , cause it really has its own appeal and creep factor. The only game I’ve seen actually use this style instead of having it due to technology limitations is this one, and the Gregory Horror Show. Which is a shame, I honestly want more stylized polygon horror games. :/

[@MikeYohe]

The very first arcade game I ever beat. I was at a laser tag place and the wait to get in was SO LONG. Long enough to beat this.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Holy cow, kudos

[@aruce9]

Chiller is one of the most edgy tryhard game I have ever played. Carnevil is honestly one of my favorite arcade games of all time. It’s such a crusty ass light gun shooter at the time. Granted this predated the original half life by a month and is visually on par with half life but the pre-rendered cutscenes add to the charming crust factor. Midway now is a whale fall of what it once was and a game dev scene has formed around that corpse. Sure it became nether realm now but a bunch of the former talent aren’t in the game dev business now but I am grateful for what has laid the groundwork for my local game dev scene

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I would love to see a remastered version of carnevil. There's so much detail and Easter eggs buried in the backgrounds it's hard to make out

[@roqueb]

Thanks!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

How awesome of you. I really appreciate your donation. Thanks a ton

I took my dad to the arcade to play this with him. I took my kids to the arcade to play this with them. I've taken dates to the arcade to play this with me. I've completed this while duel wielding the light guns. I want to have one of these in my living room someday.

One of my go to arcade games from back in the day

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It's a lot of fun

[@striderreborn1467]

My fondest memory of this game was discovering its existence when I visited a movie theatre in another town to see Erin Brockovich with my mother in 2003. I was wow'ed by the scenery and the amount of quality the theatre itself had including some badass arcade machines. (My Local theatre didn't have those at the time.) And saw CarnEviL for the first time. It's the small touches that stick with you in a good way. :)

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Absolutely which is why I mentioned a 4K release. There are so many details in the backgrounds that the developers put in but they are kind of hard to see.

[@erneststackhouse1133]

i didn't know there was suppose to be a big baby in the game? We had Teddy in our Arcade. i usually don't give shootem ups more than a dollars worth of quarters as they use almost the same monster in every level, but this game had a huge variety of baddies coming at ya! So CarnEvil munched a lot of quarters out of me! Also has my favorite monster of all time, Krampus! Kind of cool to think they created something so good it was not converted to home consoles! But if it follows Horror Movies this will not be the final resting place for CarnEvil. Mwahahaha!

[@papafraggeritus5207]

Love love love this game. I do have to wonder about the “Salty Jack” doll display in the game. Did the makers of this game make an amalgamation of the Cracker Jack logo character and Robert The Doll, the famous haunted doll in Florida? Robert is also dressed in a sailor outfit and is usually enclosed in a glass display case, which of course they claim is for the public’s safety. Kinda seems like a mix of both.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Now that you mentioned this does look like Robert the doll. Good catch

[@papafraggeritus5207]

I mean, they went out of their way to have the “Cracker Jack” sign above the display and the color on the costume is definitely more bold than the one Robert has. It’s just a nice little detail most people would never notice being there in the first place unless they were scouring the background for details.

Late 90s? Dang, no wonder I missed this one. Arcades were mostly gone around here by then.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes they were dying off but still around in my area

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

Please do a series of videos on the history of Time Crisis by Namco

[@RyanRead]

It was quite the game. My brother in law and I played it back and forth at the arcade.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It was Truly something special

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Finally a video of this.

[@sonicexereaper6814]

I remember seeing this on a vid about top gory arcade games, and this game came onto the list. Gave it a shot, and man, it was a blast to play. To this day, I have it on my PC running on MAME 64 bit, and have it running portably on my Steam Deck.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes I have it on Mame as well and it works pretty good with the mouse

I’m always wondered if the main character put in the token just to see what would happen or he’s been doing it multiple times just for the thrill.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That's the way it seems but the ending is open ended

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Doing it for the thrill. He's quite the trooper to go back.😂 After that I'll just go home.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

A way to get friend zoned.

[@DragonSlayerKyo]

I'm honestly wondering. how common was this release? I've seen it exactly once.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

We had it in a few arcades but it seemed to disappear rather quickly

[@DragonSlayerKyo]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries that's rather unfortunate

[@mevb]

Maniac Mansion isn't a horror game per se but a spoof on horror movies. It's mainly a comedy game, as well as its sequel Day of the Tentacle which play more like a Looney Tunes cartoon.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks for the clarification

[@drake3934]

I remember playing this game back in the day, it was pretty fucking good, the only downside for me was waiting in line to play

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It was popular around here as well

[@deathproof8732]

I would love to buy this machine but I heard its hard to keep in working order because of rarity of parts. Played the hell out of this game during all tou can play 20 dollar midnights at the arcade on friday night. My friends swore this was an ICP/Tim Burton game.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I have read that as well

[@F1ghtGam3r]

I'm curious if you'll do a video on Namco's Time Crisis series someday
