Ross's Game Dungeon: Baldies

[@diegowushu]

This is so dumb, when "breeding" they should have put in a barber's chair, and one baldie shaving off a hair-haver. Thus creating a new baldie. It's so simple, how could they miss that.

For the Bonus Levels: Between Level 09 and 10-Use the hand to save the Baldies from the mine field. Every one over 12 saved will be warped to the next level. 30 seconds. Just have quick reflexes. Between Level 17 and 18-Use the flag and shovel to guide the Baldies to the warp. 1 out of every 4 will be warped to the next level. 2 minutes. Put the flag in the warp and use the shovel to make paths to the warp. There are Baldies in each corner. Since they are Builders, they will go towards the warp. Make sure you dig a wide path so they won't wander around. Between Level 27 and 28-Use the soldiers to kill the Hairies in the trees. Every Hairy killed is an extra Baldy in the next level. Put a Baldy in every tree. If a Hairy is in it, the soldier will get killed. Then put another one in to kill him and take over the tree. Between Level 34 and 35-Use the hand to save the Baldies from the traps. Every one over 8 will be warped to the next level. 30 seconds.

Bad news Ross. Baldness is mostly passed down on the mother's side. The primary gene for baldness is on the X chromosome. Your heritage puts you at risk. Soon, you may be one of them. The snow-woman made me laugh way too hard, ditto the helicopter. I wish developers had the balls to be genuinely funny more often.

[@handsomebrick]

On the plus side, good news for people like me who only have baldies on Dad's side of the family.

[@YunoCake]

From what I researched, it's apparently wrong : "It’s determined by your hair follicles’ sensitivity to DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, an androgen (male sex hormone) that is a byproduct of testosterone. The androgen receptor (AR) gene creates the receptor on hair follicles that interact with testosterone and DHT, and if your receptors are sensitive, hair loss can occur. The androgen receptor is on the X chromosome, which is what leads many people to incorrectly assume that male pattern baldness comes from the mother’s side of the family."

I don't think "Cute characters going brutal/to war" is that unusual Ross, especially not in old school gaming. Cannon Fodder, Worms, Tiny Troops, even Settlers can go on there, and this is just from the top of my head. A lot of devs had these anti-mascot kind of games, made as some sort of "counter culture" to all the Marios, Sonics and Megamans, etc. Even the Baldies here seems to me like that, (rather than a commentary on bald people.) I guess this is why it's so obscure. You can't really get too famous with a game that seems to be a big in-joke. Nevertheless, great video as usual.

All of which is derived from Lemmings which had cute characters getting vivisected, crushed, and blown up.

[@heiljewbacca4639]

Finally Jesus ressurected once again and uploaded another Game Dungeon. Although, I do wish this happened every third day...

[@ctrouble2309]

for what it's worth, something about this episode felt more "game dungeon-ey" than the last two episodes.

[@teowind]

I know this is an old video, but I recently found your channel and started watching your content. I remember playing the demo of Baldies 20 or so years ago, and I frankly didn't remember much of it _except_ the fact that you could hold one of the F-keys to keep spawning new guys from your cursor. So the information you found might not be all wrong, but it might only apply to the demo. I'm afraid I can't remember if it was the DOS or Windows version, but I believe it was the DOS one.

[@fonesrphunny7242]

Interesting. 1999s Rollcage also had demo exclusive cheats on the F keys. Now I wonder if there were more. Certainly some material, if you wanna make fun of game journalists. :)

[@matakulasame1654]

For some reason whenever youtube recommends me some Ross, it's always this game, and everytime I see it I watch it again, this is probably one of my fav Game Dungeons

[@darokdeed]

Loved the game as a kid, dunno which version i had but turning all start baldies into soldiers and flying them over allowed me to win the whole campaign. After that i only played the first couple levels where the ai fights but not cheats. Last green levels and first desert levels. Trapping everything and torturing the enemy with all the traps, dunno if it was said but putting traps around houses blocks their upgrade till the trap is cleared.

[@Rowcan]

I love the little stingers you put at the end of these. "UH...."

[@RNGJack1]

Haha the ending with the helicopter! 25:49

[@Chud_Bud_Supreme]

Reminds me of King of the Hill when Boomhauer is playing a virtual reality lawnmower simulator, reaches underneath the lawnmower to remove an obstruction, and cuts off his virtual fingers in the process. "Aaaah! I ain't got no fingers!"

[@djKIR]

hahaha! But what happens next in game with "choped" fingers??

[@emilykwolek1667]

yeah, if you lose your fingers you can't do anything anymore. i remember doing that as a kid and having the same response.

[@arda4423]

Just when I was deciding what to watch while having my dinner, nice timing Ross.

[@dontspikemydrink9382]

This GD was SO WORTH the wait, jesus christ

[@wyc7tjmf794]

Damn, it seems to be an actually awesome game. Such attention to details, and it even has terramorphing - how cool is that? Also, I love the view to the insides of a house, we need more stuff like this in rts games.

[@ZigfridSev]

Thanks Ross! Your videos always cheer me up!

[@loganjorgensen]

I really liked this episode, as someone from NA it was nice to have someone explain this very EU game to me. Also that is quite the contrast in port difference. Also some amusing quips about the nature of hair. XD

[@Katurodrake]

This is a real gem of a game. way to go Ross. :D

[@山岡あきら]

Thanks so much for covering this game! I played it an awful lot as a kid but could never get very far. Now I realise that the inventions are a bit of a distraction in the early game. As you said there is little to no information about this game, so it's nice to see someone finally beat it!

[@Novous]

2:50. It's not too crazy. DOS and Windows had completely different ways to do timing. So what I think happened here is that the Windows port was RUSHED (hence no cinematics either-- the claymation video renderer likely using tons of per-pixel/ low-level memory transfers which would have ran LIKE PISS in the oldschool windows GDI mode - pre-DirectX) so the added difficulty of a relatively new system with relatively few books at the time (so inexperience in Windows game programming on the team), plus a rush to target the platform, meant they hit Windows 95 more as an after-thought and started to cut features to meet the deadline.

[@brandonbush1]

Can't like this video enough! I came to hear someone else's take on my favorite obscure game, and I'm subbing to hear your take on...well...everything else!

[@SuperTiberian]

Kind of reminds me of the old, old, old, OLD Army Men games. Those games were awesome...

[@TheRealParthen]

You're the only person on KZbin I've seen reference Dead Mans Shoes. Thanks for that. One of my favorite movies ever.

"You can step on the toothpaste." ~Ross Scott, 2017

[@athousandfeethigh]

Thank you for not revealing how to complete the Egyptian map, just knowing it's NOT impossible gives me more motivation to play it!

[@liftfork]

I just finished watching that movie at the beginning of the video where the guy yells "BALDIES!" It's an awesome movie, called The Wanderers, you should go watch it

[@ryancole3058]

I love this series because I can zone out for a while and when I come back Ross is theorizing about how much hair he'll have based on his lineage and what he should do in a worse-case scenario while game footage plays in the back trying so hard to be the main subject again.

[@dylanvolckaert404]

As a European: Having beautiful buildings everywhere, but tons of trash all around is realistic tbh.

[@jacobbrown4302]

The only videos I ever watch anymore and look forward too are Videos from Ross Scott. Ive been a fan for so many years and god damn does it make me happy to have seen you move on from civil protection and freemans mind. Even though I'd Love to see more civil protection, perhaps a movie?!? nah who knows about that, But thankgod you've uploaded another dungeon today. Just can't wait for that movie. I wish you would talk about it and whatever is going on about the movie more.

[@IgnatRemizov]

thank you Ross for another fantastic video :)

[@sugarjumper45]

ROSS for simply referncing The Wanderers (one of my all time favorite movies) makes me absolutely love you!

[@SiennaBlossom420]

aaaand subscribed. Easy choice, what a great channel with such unique content. And a great personality to boot!

[@Isaacfess]

Sienna hope you stick around!

[@cougar2k720]

One of the old games I used to play, but I only had demo on PC and full version on PS which I have no access to most of the time. Thanks for the review Ross! Certainly being back memories!

[@kulbrez4884]

“Tier 5 Breeding Facility” sounds like the scariest shit.

[@aroncaseneqvist9074]

Awesome having a Game Dungeon uploaded for my birthday, thanks Ross!

[@thewingedpotato6463]

So does anyone know who the guy was at 13:37?

[@GokuFan5000]

kind of looks like the cigarette smoking man from x files but i have no clue when this game came out so ehhh shrug

[@Blue_Sonnet]

I figured George Bush? I don't think there were any Scottish or UK-based celebrities that were famous enough to be added into a game and who looked similar...

[@guave2549]

looks like harrison ford to me

[@harfharfful]

Looks like Bill Nye to me

[@grimmthehex2143]

Looks like Hewie long for me

[@CrunchyMcDugals]

Definitely enjoying the more frequent uploads. The quality feels just as good. Keep it up, Ross!
