Obscure & Forgotten PS1 Games Vol.14 | Sean Seanson

[@Ali-fs7ze]

The Irish man has uploaded. Hallelujah.

[@bartholomewjackson6534]

I been waiting for this!!!

[@ppgranja3]

Love his PS1 videos!!!

[@RustyBanner]

He's Scotch you fool.

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

Theres something super satisfying about your intro!

[@zhylisz]

Watching these vids feels like im at a sleepover back in the day when we would just play whatever weird games we had. Great vibes keep it up!

[@PSXGamingMemories]

He said it best, i agree, thats what it feels like when we watch these videos, epic! Great times.

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Those bargain bin titles you didn't expect much from that ended up taking entire weekends away from you 😂 Rollcage, represent! ❤

[@thrilleex]

Just when I went: "oh my Wheel, why have you forsaken me?" I needed this. Praise the Wheel.

[@HMNPRSN]

holy crap, micro maniacs memory unlocked. I absolutely spent a lot of time as a kid staring at those character designs.

[@CardCaptorKaren]

Hootin' when Micro Maniacs came up, hollering when Deception came up, entering sicko mode when PO'ed came up. Praise the wheel.

[@BioPhoenixReviews]

Tecmo's deception and the deception series in general is an all time favorites that I never shut up about so I'm glad to see it here. Believe it or not it was the 2nd ps1 game I ever played growing up and it left quite an impression and was very creepy at the time lol but yes the PAL name I think is much cooler

[@SpaceManRD]

PO'ed looks like if Cruelty Squad drank alcohol with its medication, and then shanked Chex Quest behind a Denny's.

[@skeletalmesh9872]

Every time one of these comes out I think "surely we're running out of PS1 games" and every time I'm so wrong. Not that there's anything wrong with that, keep 'em coming

[@Kizunaut]

Destrega looks hype as all hell. Really wanna give it a shot someday.

[@wieldylattice3015]

Deception 1: this is in a sense, a dark comedy. You defeat enemies in hilarious ways, you use sadistic techniques to survive, and ultimately you may end up becoming what you swore to destroy. This is a dark and foreboding tale with plenty of humor to keep you entertained Deception 2 onward: *WE NEEDS MORE BREATS*

[@NebLleb]

Honestly, I feel Dungeon Keeper, another bad-guy sim, did the concept of a dark comedy where you use sadistic techniques to win more successfully than the Deception games as the humour was far more prevalent and the concept of running your own dungeon and raising an army to conquer the surface might have been a bit more appealing than Deception's concept of being an evil minion in service to the devil gleefully snuffing out good guys with traps to most gamers. Plus, the sequel chose to keep Part One's tone intact, unlike Deception's sequels which went for evil girl fanservice/femdom bait. However though, even I'll admit that Deception did more than earn its small following over time.

[@mercurysorbit5138]

PO’ed seems like a concept that could be refined. It seems like someting is tear but it was not executed quite right. Those cats are lovely.

[@SeanSeanson]

The cats say thank you :)

[@simplesimonhadapie]

You have been away too long sean. these videos are up there with some of the best work on youtube for sheer enjoyment of the subject matter.

[@SeanSeanson]

'Strange man in pub' is the third most popular source of youtuber funding, after Patreon and Raid Shadow Legends.

[@flooidity]

Micro Maniacs and Micro Machines V3 are two of my favourite top down racers ever and they make excellent party games! Im always setting up either game when i have guests over and its always a blast. Happy to see them get more coverage!

[@putridscene]

I had some friends over for a game day a couple years ago and the biggest hit by far was Micro Maniacs. 7 people were able to play at once and everything was clean enough that we all could understand what was happening and had a great time playing it. This is coming from someone that never played the Micro Machines games. Highly recommend it

[@LC-mai]

I love watching these vids and showing my friend and both of us going "god I remember playing that" on different games. This era was so nostalgic especially micro maniacs I loved playing that when I was a wee lad.

[@Doc-Glock]

Deception is still a very fun and (still!) unique set of games and It's easy to see that the 2nd game is where the gameplay settles in and the series finds its footing. Who knew sadism could be so amusing? Hopefully the next two entries are covered here at some point.

[@Highretrogamelord]

Thank you so much for another really fun and really informative video! Game 1: I really love how very different each character is and that there are so many different modes. Game 2: Ah, such a classic. It always gives me Dungeon Keeper vibes as well. Game 3: I know this mostly from the 3DO. Needless to say, it is such a really weird FPS. Game 4: Such a fun fighting game. Also unique in that it is more based on projectile combat than melee combat. Kitties spotted at: From 18:16 to 18:28, 39:06 to 39:08, 39:17 to 39:26 and 1:17:28 to 1:17:33 Also, yes, having your cats in your videos makes it totally worth it!

[@SeanSeanson]

The kitty spotting king returns! Thanks for watching as always friend, glad you enjoyed :)

[@calepsurgener195]

Wow. Po'd. My first PS1 experience was saving up twenty dollars to rent the console from my local video store. They only had a few games to pick from and I remember the box art of Po'd being something that stood out to me and it was the game I rented. I was absolutely horrible at it but also absolutely marveled at it. This video series has been straight up great and inspiring. Loving the channel.

[@Maluf360]

It's so nice to se an Irish lad with such knowledge, and great taste in gaming! Cheers from Dublin :)

[@CrossfacePanda]

As janky as the controls may be, Micro Maniacs is one of my all time favourite hidden gem games, and it’s a concept I wish a modern day game developer would explore.

[@Damyoro]

I LOVED MICRO MANIACS!!! Althought it really feels a little bit too frustrating for me when I try to play it nowadays. I remember finishing the game several times with perfect 1st place wins and even getting the lightbulb character but now when I try to play it it just feels TOO hard. It really takes a very long time to get to learn the controls and, more importantly, the tracks - if you don't know the track really, really well, then you're gonna lose for sure. If I just had the time and patience to learn it all again it would definitely make me very happy.

[@petemc4190]

Some coherent explanation how to win Micro Maniacs!!! a quality episode to be sure

[@TheHollywoodscenekid]

Just found this channel like 2 weeks ago and im absolutely hooked keep up the great work man

[@SeanSeanson]

appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!

[@megongaga69]

Always great to see another upload to this series, keep em coming!

[@kaizarcantu8240]

OMFG Micro Maniacs actually made it! Thanks a bunch, dude. This video just made my day, for some weird reason. PS: You do great work. If anyone in this site deserves a bigger audience (10 or 15 times bigger), it's you.

[@SeanSeanson]

Aw i'm delighted to hear! Appreciate that pal, hope you enjoyed! :)

[@herekongato]

The Micro Maniacs intro music is pure gold, its crazy how many ps1 games had cool dnb music

[@tcrobot]

I recognised micro maniacs instantly. Put quite a few hours into it in my youth.

[@zidane4028]

Nothing is more thrilling than when the wheel spins, comes close to landing on a game that I wanna see and it does or it doesn't. Praise the almighty wheel.

[@Palma5025]

DESTREGA!

[@Soonjai]

Destrega somehow sounds like the winner from this Episode. I happen to own a Promo copy of it, it´s in my collection for years now, never played it. Will give it a play today though.

[@OkayNo34]

Powerful unexpected nostalgia hit for Micro Maniacs, a game I havent thought about since I was a kid despite now auddenly remembering I played it a ton.

[@wieldylattice3015]

“Unfortunately putting controller ports in a disc is excessive, and also impossible,” I don’t know why but this sentence makes me want to try to put controller ports in a disc, even though I know it won’t work

[@Glacier_Nester]

Yesss return of the wheel! Always love to see one of these in my feed, and I've been keeping an eye out for the ones I'm interested in in retro stores

[@greenhowie]

Tecmo's Deception is one of those games I've only ever heard about. Weirdly enough because the disc makes a unique monster in Monster Rancher 2. Looks pretty cool though, you get a similar kind of vibe from games like Boneraiser Minions that lets you place all sorts of traps and shrines on the game field.

[@1ceClimber]

It scares me and makes me feel super old when some of my favorite games of my childhood is on this list and they're listed as obscure or forgotten. Now if you'll excuse me, grandpa needs to take a seat because i can feel my bones turning to dust in real-time.

[@w1ntermode]

Great selections in this volume. Games 1 and 3 in particular are both weird and wonderful in very different ways, was very interested to hear your takes on them. The other two look fantastic and I must add them to my games-I-am-vaguely-aware-of-and-should-get-around-to-playing-one-day list.

[@reseplays]

I saw the copy of trapt in the video at the end of the first game and thought "oh, I should suggest reviewing tecmo's deception". Little did I know... The first one is still my favourite in the series, the tone is so much better than in the sequels...

[@osiris-h3p]

Only just found your channel but mate this is exactly what I was looking for, nice format, good sense of humour just all round top tier content. Looking forward to jumping into the japan videos

[@Leporc]

I was feeling awful today. This video has vanished all my pain. All praise the wheel!

[@villain253]

ALL PRAISE THE WHEEL!

[@KingLich451]

get well soon!

[@Leporc]

@@KingLich451 thanks! Just got my wisdom tooth removed and in Argentina the process is quite... painful.

[@SeanSeanson]

hope you feel better soon friend!

[@Leporc]

@@SeanSeanson thanks Sean, hope we see a full analysis on Thousand Arms soon! (Or if it is I may have missed it). Great content friend!

[@superscatman4236]

Another Sean Seanson video? You love to see it.

[@MarcoLongoMusic]

This channel brings me so much joy!

[@meltdownremix1996]

I'm not huge on racing games so micromachines was never on my radar... But Micro Maniacs actually really piques my interest, not just on art direction but the mechanics too. I had completely forgotten that PO'ed had a ps1 version so seeing it show up here was a surprise, as you say that one of the most 3DO games to have ever 3DO'ed.

[@tslodemi]

Another amazing video! Tecmo's Deception is awesome

[@AlecLeigh]

another quality video from my favorite Irishmen! great job Sean!

[@squiithefishslandoftrash6476]

I've been like watching these videos for like a year now and I just checked the view count and I'm really happy for you bro! you have an amazing backlog a videos and I hope your audience continues to grow man

[@SeanSeanson]

thank you, really kind of you to say!

[@olivefuzzball5797]

Oh a new video!!! Guess I’ll be watching this after my Zoo visit today!

[@gamesystem540]

YESSSS PO'ed has been chosen by the wheel ! This is a game I was really close to choose it as game's viewer. I share the same impressions as you, at the beggining, I thought it was the worst FPS I ever played in my PS1. But after the second level, it became more and more interesting to my eyes with the jetpack gameplay and the large levels with complex level desigh. It became one of my favorite FPS on the console. Micro Maniacs I own this game on years but never really played it, I'll soon do it, mainly because I love MicroMachines franchise and it looks fun in your review. Destrega and Devil's Deception, I know I'll never play those games, they're so stupidly expensive for no reason, they look ok but nothing extraordinary.

[@ctomfaith]

Your channel is so cozy Mr.Sean . Shout out to Club Playstation!

[@pcrich7062]

Stellar work again Sean, the backgrounds to these games are always so interesting!

[@noirlavender6409]

Amazing! Almost as good as your Hugo the Troll video, which is by far easily one of the best videos ever created

[@SeanSeanson]

high praise to be up with Hugo!

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

Always love watching your videos! Really helps expand upon my lack of knowledge on many ps1 games! And make my wallet very sad!

[@hosaminthehouse3431]

man your thumbnails is incredible, one of the best i've seen

[@SeanSeanson]

thank you! 😭

[@DSL_Returns]

Already saved this to watch as soon as I get off work. big!

[@goatbone]

Good to see Deception getting some love. I own the version you played on PS1 as well as the PS4 version which I bought fairly recently.

[@nikoladedic6623]

Praise the Wheel. His servant has come back.

[@villain253]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Sean just seems like the kind of dude youd like to have a beer with. Always a good day when you upload brother, Thanks for your hard work!

[@wieldylattice3015]

That or a Turkish delight or whatever it was

[@SeanSeanson]

Beer and/or Turkish Delight is good

Destrega is the most underrated PS1 fighter. No fighter game like it exist

I never ever thought you’d get to do Destrega 😍😍😍😍😍

Ooo lala let us go

I love your Channel Sean so many hours of comfort :) Thank you cant wait for the next one. Take care

[@SeanSeanson]

[@KArchine]

Great video as always mate!

[@alexvalentine6045]

I recently found your channel and have immediately become hooked. This content feels so geared towards me and my childhood that I'm shook I haven't found it sooner. I genuinely appreciate you and the videos you make and the insight into all the hidden gems I have started to check out because of your content. Keep up the amazing work! I'm still working (in reverse order) through your videos and am not sure if anyone has submitted this yet, but I would love to see Re-Volt added to the wheel and what your take on it would be! I still use the actual PS1 disc in my car's CD player because the soundtrack is a banger. Anyways, love the videos and you! Always looking forward to what you'll do next!

[@SeanSeanson]

Aw thank you, that's really kind of you to say! I'll get Re-Volt added for you now :)

[@456ironmaiden]

I know this video was made a while ago so just letting everybody know that nightdive studios made a remaster of po called po'ed definitive edition

[@A1phaDrag0n]

Always makes my day when you upload one of these

[@Kevin-yz6]

Wow what great memories destrega! It has a beautiful story. I totally agree that it bores very easily though. When I bought it I completed the story in about an hour and a half, it was phenomenal, but soon after I didn't know what to do anymore. In short a great game as short and boring right after completing it. However it will always remain in my heart, good times by the way when I was always fighting gradd and Milena in the demo lol endlessly. Congratulations man you have a new subscriber! :D

[@nurfuermist]

I love the main menu in Micro machines V3, such a fun simple game.

[@MidBoss666]

Indeed, there's nothing more relaxing that mowing down thousands of enemies in a musou game ^^

[@Steadysphere]

Ah, good old wheel goodness. Quite the quartet of picks there, which funnily enough, three of which I have. PO'd was a game I'd literally never heard of and bought it on a whim on Ebay as it was cheap. Glad I did, even though I'll definitely be playing on easy 😅 Destrega is one I found a promo copy of, and took the plunge when I saw the publisher/dev behind it. Awesome coverage as always Sean, get happy as a clam when I see my notification for your videos :)

[@SeanSeanson]

Oh wow! good calls on getting PO'ed and Destrega, both of them aint cheap nowadays! Always appreciate you watching friend, thanks for the kind words :)

I fucking love finding obviously talented youtubers with lower sub counts now I can be like "I was there form the start"

[@wieldylattice3015]

Micro Maniacs soundtrack going from early Need for Speed to Rollcage and then Crash Bandicoot is tonal inconsistency if I’ve ever heard it, or it’s complete genius. Sometimes the two can be very easy to confuse

[@ronnieblazebot3778]

Happy for the upload. Sad these games made the wheel for selection

[@wieldylattice3015]

16:24 whatever this song is, it just has Moving Shadow written all over it, this sounds like something that would come on while I was playing Rollcage

[@FirepitGaming]

I still own all these games on my PS1. I have 500 PS1 games. Awesome video as always dude ❤

[@SeanSeanson]

cherish them :)

[@BuenoDrake]

Deception is such a good game

[@tsinbo6685]

I've finally caught up on the backlog of your videos but came back to this one to say- Excuse you sir, Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu is the undisputed king of Dragon Ball games for the PSX. Probably not obscure enough for a video but great none the less. Keep up the amazing work!

[@SeanSeanson]

🙏🙏🙏

[@phoebe5]

I'm gonna be real I'm more inclined to buy that sponsor than any actual sponsored product I've seen on a KZbin video before

[@MrThejoshmon]

YOOO, I used to play the hell out of Micro Maniacs, my main man was V4 as that backdraft attack he had was just too good.

[@RippahRooJizah]

I've heard of and played Destrega, but not so much the others. I'd try them but, sadly, I'm over 30, and I have arthritis in my fingers. I could go for some quiche right now, though. Anyway, glad you're back. I like to watch your videos.

A NEW SEAN SEANSON VIDEO WOOOOOOOO

[@Bukkarooo]

What a wonderful birthday surprise! The wheel provides!

[@SeanSeanson]

happy (belated) birthday! 🎉

[@endymallorn]

Deception reminds me of the best parts of Dungeon Keeper.

[@PSXGamingMemories]

Great video Sean, another unusual mix of games that have many cool quirks & are worth a try i agree. Micro Manics & Destrega i played on demos back in the day but haven't played them in years, will need to revisit them soon. Peod i agree is a very weird shooter, i tried it & yea i couldn't get past the 2nd level, i just gave up on it lol, Deception is an intriguing game, played it a while back & it is pretty cool but does take time to understand what to do but very satisfying when you can pull off traps etc. Love watching the videos, keep up the great work!

[@SeanSeanson]

thanks pal, appreciate you watching!

[@semanticrhino6109]

Hello Sean, I really enjoy your videos! I want to share a tip for playing untranslated japanese games: I set up a phone (android, potentially should work for iOS?), so that the main camera can capture the TV that I am playing on. Then I start the official "google translate" app, wherein I open the live translation of the camera feed. The app replaces all text in the camera feed with its translatiion, it even tries to match color and style of the fonts and deletes traces of the original text, all on the live camera feed without need for additional interaction from the user. It is a little laggy, but by choosing offline translation (it downloads a translation file to the phone) and strictly setting source language to japanese you can reduce lag and errors a little. I use a tripod to position the phone in a non intusive sweetspot in my peripheral vision. In this manner I managed even some otherwise impossible things like lyrics puzzels with timers. Maybe this helpful for you too? Thank you for your relaxing style and care you put into the videos, I especially enjoy you letting the music speak for it self. best wishes

[@SeanSeanson]

Thats some great advice, thanks for sharing! Appreciate you watching :)

[@joserioseco5003]

Hi Sean. Stumbled upon your great videos about a month ago. Currently on this volume and a game that the look of intreagued me was the game you show at minute 6:00 (a top down racer) What game is it please? Keep up the great work, sir!

[@SeanSeanson]

thanks friend, appreciate you watching! That game is called Speedster (PAL) or Rush Hour (NTSC) :)

[@DTheVigne]

The legend is back

[@inuboy2005]

OMG, I loved Destrega as a kid!!! ❤ I even bought it again when it was added to the PSN!!!! No one ever talks about it. It's so unique. Such nostalgia.

[@Doc-Glock]

Since it was spotted in the video, it's worth noting that Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess just went on sale on PSN for $19.99 until August 3rd, 2023. Anyone interested in the series should check this out. You don't need to have played the previous games (in fact, it's the easiest one for new players to get into), and all of the content from the original release of Deception IV: Blood Ties is included.

[@SeanSeanson]

Nice spot, thanks for sharing!

[@HybridAngelZero]

I can't speak for PAL regions, but in North America, Deception and Destrega are both a mere $5.99 to purchase digitally on PS3 and Vita! It's an excellent way to play some otherwise pricey games

[@FitzForward]

Please never stop making videos 🎉

[@MakopoweredGaming]

What's this?! A winner is me - AGAIN?! This was a really enjoyable take on Tecmo's Deception, which is definitely the... Ummm... Quirky one, even within its own series. I still remember the minor uproar when it released in North America and included the warning for Satanic imagery and story points (I can't speak to PAL, unfortunately). I remember finding a copy in a Zellers in 2003 for $10 and snapping it up - I just wanted the weird devil trap game, I had no idea it would become so valuable! Also, ah, PO'ed... Another 3DO game that I was curious about (because it kind of looked like a spiritual successor to Panic Restaurant), but not THAT curious about. Thank you for satisfying that curiosity!

[@SeanSeanson]

What can I say, the wheel seems to have it's favourites! A long time ago I think having the Devil appearing in any game would cause a slight panic in Catholic Ireland, but I also think censorship of video games was a bit more lax here compared to North America, most cause nobody making the laws paid attention to them until Grand Theft Auto started getting big. That being said, they probably could have done with censoring a lil bit of Po'ed though.. for the greater good of humanity haha Appreciate you watching friend!

[@MakopoweredGaming]

@@SeanSeanson Yay, I'm a favorite! All praise The Wheel! Yeah, I can absolutely see how Catholic Ireland would have been... less than accepting of a game prominently featuring the Devil at the time. I can also see why they ignored games until GTA - 'they're just kids' stuff, right? Who needs to pay attention to that?' *glares hard in Video Game Academic* Also, if it's PO'ed, can we really call it censorship, or is it just harm reduction? 😂 I always enjoy watching your videos!

[@brunoarres1187]

Yes! This is one of my favorite series on yt right now.

[@AuricomSystems]

Opening up with a clip from Poy Poy, banger Edit; Jesus Christ it's Po'ed, there's a game I haven't thought about in a long time
