Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday Longplay

[@AcronymARES]

This game is such a strange phenomenon. - It features a unique randomized weather/background system that changes with every playthrough. -A good portion of the music has a haunting, foreboding or ambient feel to it that clearly doesn't match up with the wacky nature of Looney Tunes. -Porky is surprisingly really well-animated compared to the enemies and bosses that have like 5-to-15 sprites each. -Nearly every track has an unused and slightly corrupted "Side B" version that would most likely be tied to the aforementioned randomized background system. -More unused content suggests there would've been a level based on Feudal Japan, a second phase for the final boss and an option to play as Daffy Duck.

[@andrewlawrence5934]

Where can I find that content, mate?

[@AcronymARES]

@@andrewlawrence5934 I'd suggest checking out The Cutting Room Floor since they focus on finding unused and/or cut video game content. I'd post the link to this game's page here but KZbin's hella strict with url links. The game's OST's already on KZbin if you wanna listen to the unused "Side B" and Japan level music.

[@jesuswenceslao4909]

This looks like a game that was being developed as a dark platformer but late in development they were told they had to add Looney Tunes characters.

[@aeyenthelobster4858]

Maybe it was

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

Apart of me believed that. It stopped being a "haunted" holiday after the first level and only really jumps back at the last.

[@Brabbs]

so true

[@Meyohimeyoi]

The soundtrack to this game is a masterpiece.

[@warnerbrosanddisneyvhsdvdb9015]

John Smith this game is too freaking easy for me

[@followthereaper665]

I came back here just cuz i liked some of the music. Didn't realize how much ambience was in it

[@lupinedreamexpress]

More technical. Intentionally generating an error which exploited a flaw to play PCM on all of the channels in the environment provided really was something else. Call it a cheap sound driver hack this is one of my favorites. Even if it did tend to fry the DSP if you left games that use this technique on too long. Really produced some nice quality sound.

[@Benjamillion]

I liked the music until the Yosemite Sam boss fight. Good god, what a clusterfuck of noise.

[@J_M_E_83]

Please tell me you're joking! If you want a good soundtrack for Super Nintendo look at F-Zero, Zelda, Super Ghouls N Ghosts, Super Castlevania 👌

[@gabriel0961]

the backgroud songs are disturbing. mainly the first stage.

[@LuxuryL0rd]

This really brings me back to my childhood in the late 90's. The music in the first stage sounds like it could've been in Resident Evil 1.

[@P_uddles]

This game and Scooby-Doo Mystery were my absolute favorite games as a kid. So good!

Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday was developed by Phoenix Interactive Entertainment. Darren Melbourne designed the core elements of the game while Kev Bruce composed the music and sound effects. The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down song, also known as the Looney Tunes theme, was added to the game. Notable graphical effects include parallax scrolling and a weather effect which means that every time the game is played the weather can be different. For example: sometimes it may be snowing and sometimes it may be raining. The game's publisher was originally Hudson Soft, who owned the license to publish games with Warner Bros. characters at the time, but it sold the rights to Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday on to Acclaim Entertainment in 1995. The game was ultimately published by Sunsoft. Some versions of the game were published and distributed by Acclaim and some by Sunsoft, both under license of Warner Bros., the same as the Sunsoft/Acclaim-published games as Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos, Justice League Task Force, and Scooby-Doo Mystery. Another fact is that the game was originally developed by Sunsoft, complete with different background music and more hyperactive Porky sound bytes. However, the game was re-worked by Acclaim and sold that way. When the game is displayed on ROM sites, the Beta version is the Sunsoft version, while the regular version is Acclaim. Developed by Phoenix Interactive Entertainment, Dark Technologies, Chip Level Designs, Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and published by Sunsoft, and published and distributed by Acclaim, and licensed by Nintendo. The game was currently distributed by Majesco Entertainment and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

[@emtobed]

the background music gave me chills. same thing goes for the ending of the game.

[@sarinarivers7304]

As a little kid, I thought this game was fun. But I also remember how odd and forebod the music was. Now as a adult a years and years later, I just remembered how depressing and haunting this music was. I was happy to finally beat the game because it meant no more sad music.

[@PowerpuffOldandZfan]

Those game sound effects... SOOO Nostalgic =w=

[@moondim7]

Long memories from my childhood, I was remembering that the music was kind of scary but it's good !!

[@razorbulan]

at least i play the game. before telling me i suck play this on normal and make a longplay to see how hard it is. why do you watch the video if you hate this you people dont have respect for others and put negative comment

[@DeliciousLove]

ive beat this game too and its hard bro weird controls

[@bryantorres7586]

Im sorry bro my mother af the sex in the room but and never play this game

[@solidTONER]

razorbulan fuck you you suck

[@steviewonderstricycle840]

The hit boxes In this game can be so inconsistent, I just beat it and had trouble in the first and last level. It's still enjoyable

[@SteInsixiengmay]

Jesus Christ, the music for this game is so haunting and too depressing. It does not at all fit the cutesy graphics or lighthearted concept of a game starring a titular character from the Looney Tunes franchise. It sounds like outtakes from a Sigur Rós recording session recorded on a Casio keyboard.

[@steveronie]

That's why it's a good fit for a Halloween game. Also, Sega's Column's has similar organ music

[@electrichardon5752]

Yea thatsbwhybit always stood out

[@Ichiboy900]

Hahaha I lookes up this game because I just randomly remembered this game with the exact thought! Who tf did the soundtrack for this?

[@crystalina6930]

Probably why they called it HAUNTED holiday js

[@SteInsixiengmay]

@@crystalina6930 Really?! I had no idea. Wow, thanks for enlightening me with your banal and pointed sarcasm!

[@Maverick274]

I loved this gaaaaaaaaame as a kid. I could not get past Atlantis for the longest time!

[@ShwintyKat]

My stepsister had this game and I remember being a young kid, watching her play because I wasn't very good at platformers yet. This and Donkey Kong Country, late summer nights with all the lights out and just the glow of our big, chunky TV. I had to look it up to make sure i hadn't imagined it and only now have I realized that she never did make it past level one when I was watching. I always thought that first level was terrifying as a kid, especially the tree part.

[@andreascrissangelmuseum1482]

Just recently replayed this game. I was never fond of the Atlantis levels. The level where you have to ride the bubbles up and out was rough.

[@steviewonderstricycle840]

The hitboxes on the bubbles are infuriating

[@Wolfdragon92584]

This game looks oddly enthralling. Very creepy, but very artistic and tasteful.

[@Xamsims]

I remember playing this game as a kid, didn't think too much about it then lol. But now learning the levels like the forest seasons being randomized with creepy music playing and the strange Alps-Wackyland intermission, it certainly was weird lol.

[@Raymond13557]

i know it's kind of silly but the tree level kind of scared the crap out of me..

[@toreywhite9917]

That is why they either call it "The Haunted Forest" or "The Living Forest".

[@dengekitomato]

The under water level always freaked me out as a kid. The song and the broken looney toon statues in the background.

[@Dodger_Bunny]

I use to play this as a kid with my sister. Man. We sucked. We never got past the first level. Still I love this game, it was a lot of fun to play as a kid. Good playthrough.

Adam Ziggy This would be good AVGN material.

[@lupinedreamexpress]

About the only emulator I've gotten this to run on is bsnes accuracy mode. It does some things to the SNES sound chip that most games don't do. But when you get it working its the most depressing, and scary Looney Tunes game of the lineup. I can't say its not worth the play-through, it is. But don't do it if you're in an already bad mood. Those two headed Daffy Ducks are enough to put you in one. xD 44:30 is a hidden SNES SPC sound gem you won't hear unless you frustrated your way through this game.

[@DucNguyen0131]

I think Phoenix Interactive Entertainment (a.k.a. Dark Technologies), besides developing NES and Game Boy games, as well as this game, developed a lot of undumped Sega Genesis, SNES and NES games. There, for Genesis development, Kevin Bateson said he used MIDI which was converted to the GEMS driver.

Ive been playing this lately and its so damn hard!!!

[@deborahrolski7737]

guys, it's the scary music that makes it feel like a real nightmare

[@battybuddy]

I think one thing that bugs me (no pun intended) is Porky's walk animation. He looks off balance at times, like when he switches between walking and standing on an edge- and he doesn't look like he's all that scared. Shame it's the one game EVER made starring porky- I get that beyond his stuttering he's just a fairly normal guy whos a bit too passive and gullible for his own good, but that could have been fixed through working with him more.

[@Jakerocksteady]

Martin Gray Yeah, he kind of walks like one of those people who can moonwalk forwards.

that's a crazy final boss fight even for this game
