Sheep Raider - An Overlooked Stealth Puzzle Classic

[@Kreystan]

My grandmother got this game for me at a yard sale for a dollar when I was nine so around 2004-2005, around that time getting games was a treat since I was living with my single mother. At the time I remember getting upset that the games stealth mechanics were kinda wonky, I just didn't get it, but I think of getting that game fondly. That was the only thing we bought from that yard sale that day, thanks for pulling that memory from the depths of my mind.

[@cratorcorner]

What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. Small moments like that can be the best memories. And ya, I still find stealth can be difficult to this day, but was surprised going back as an adult it was easier.

[@legrandeblackwell2541]

Played this on a demo disc. Always wanted to play the full game

[@SnaksiXD]

5:36 It's so funny to me that Coyote Time got it's name from Wile, was then incorporated to games like Donkey Kong Country, and is now a full-blown game mechanic with a tutorial when it returns to it's roots here.

[@queenpen1398]

Thank you for the short history of chuck Jones art styles and his staff. Most would skip over these. An amazing overlook game

[@mercerholt8299]

This game was my childhood man I'm glad other people enjoyed it.

[@jahjoeka]

Wow 34 years old and i didn't know that wasn't Wile E coyote

[@Lucas-Fair]

Same. Learned something new today.

Same actor, different gig

Ah yes the Maui Mallard switcheroo

[@jahjoeka]

@DeviRuto right. I forgot it's all a show 😂

[@GreenEyedDazzler]

Lmfao same!

[@nightzzmixx]

holy flip. memory unlocked. tbh i didnt think this game was real, and that i had just dreamed it up as a kid or something LMAO

[@cratorcorner]

Demo discs tend to do that. MDK2 felt like a fever dream to me for years till I ran across it online.

[@ThekidSpot]

This was one of my first games ever you unlocked a core memory.

[@ajmorris2012irc]

Well done video. Clear, concice, and entertaining.

[@cratorcorner]

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed.

[@FizzleFX]

I had no idea this exists. well done game. very faithful.

I used to have a demo of this game, I believe, back when I was subscribed to the PlayStation Magazine. I think the game looks really good, honestly. Unique animations, colorful artstyle, and just varied scenery.

[@spacepuppy720]

Played this on the PS1 Demo disk years ago. Along with Atlantis and Monsters inc, and spiderman.

[@RizzoSphinx]

dude this game crossed my mind yesterday!!!!! it was so fun i would love a remastered version of this

[@ShadowOfCicero]

Fun fact: if you turn off autosave before buying bonuses, you can technically see everything with only 3 time clocks. Moreover, the "unlocks" of the bonus levels are merely guides to where they are. If you can find them without the hint, no need to buy them.

[@lyricjam39]

Back in the days my friends and I used to trade games temporarily , I simply picked this one because it was the only one that I haven't tried yet and didn't expect much. Because by then I was used to avoid games based in movies and tv series, always too simple, half assed, and poorly polished. But I was so wrong with this one, wasn't a "copy-pasted" character in a plataform game, it had mechanics and gameplay that were too innovative for its time, the aesthetics of the levels were just like the cartoons, and many of the failed/succesful attempts were funny "oh of course" moments because it fit with cartoon logic you know from the looney tunes. This game deserves a remaster for new audiences, like they did with Spyro and Crash Bandicoot.

[@DecoderWalrus]

I love this game! They are really fun puzzles to solve. A real love letter to Looney Tunes fans!

[@predolas]

Oh thank you KZbin algorithm for this! Great video, great research, and of course, great taste! Amazing channel. This game is a masterpiece, nice to see a video up to it.

[@cratorcorner]

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@TheNPColiseum]

Great video, I remember seeing this game back in the day just over looked because Looney Tunes. editing was really good and your voice perfect :) sub and liked. keep it up

[@cratorcorner]

Thanks for the compliments. So glad you enjoyed. Ya it was a rather late release for the PS1 as well.

[@vel2118]

this game is HARD to say the least... but Very unique and I love that

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

The road runner game on the snes, was another extremely good platformer, where you had to avoid wile e cayote, but it was extremely fun, but pretty hard from what i remember.

[@woooozaaa6528]

Damn! I loved that game! Just a few days ago I thought about when someone will finally make a decent video about it! :D Next video about Dethkarz please!

[@cratorcorner]

Maybe that was the call to action I needed to get it done! Glad you enjoyed. Never heard of Dethkarz, I'll look into it.

[@AcidicRue]

had a demo of this as a kid, always wanted to play the full game

[@Sperium3000]

Oh-bly-jah-toh-ree?

[@ItsNumber84]

One of the devs was listening to a lot of Jamiroquai during development, so they pitched the idea to the higher-ups, who agreed and found Eric Caspar to create a soundtrack that evokes their vibes. So while Jamiroquai didn't contribute directly, they were a major influence in the game's soundtrack.

[@vithayartheppalard2417]

The mechanic really look interesting, perhaps better than some puzzle game these days.

[@AschKris]

My favorite game from PS1 maybe ever

[@EduFirenze]

Damn used to love this game as a kid until I got stuck and moved on to another game.

[@Armm8991]

I think this game is so wonderfully animated. In an era where most 3D game animations were stiff, basic and robotic, this game is a visual delight

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

They took inspiration from Crash Bandicoot, which itself is inspired by Looney Tunes.

2:43 yep feels like pro wrestling promos let alone save the dangerous antics for the pay per view (streaming today).

[@KanameYuuki]

I love the ps1 era of Looney Tunes games, I replayed so much this one and Bugs lost in Time and Bugs & Taz, but I don't think I ever got to finish this one, I hated one of the water levels.

I really enjoyed this video

Amazing video homie! I love the 3d assets that you included in the video! 😍🤩😘😃❤ Did you make them yourself?

[@Li0nMa5K]

Also, this game has such beautiful graphics!

[@cratorcorner]

I make a lot of them. But also have a sub to Blenderkit to take some of the workload off.

[@ekimmak]

How do you play this game today? I know I have the PC port somewhere in my collection, but I remember it being very buggy with the cutscenes, and I'd like to see a better version.

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

Emulation

Feeding the algorithm!

[@cratorcorner]

Thanks for the love

[@marcelroman6639]

Did anyone else only get to play it as a demo from some other game?

[@battybuddy]

My only issue with this is, I think they could have not made it a gameshow angle, as they could have just had the stage select be a time card. Personally, I always had the head canon that when Ralph and Sam clocked out for the day, they actually went to an irish pub run by a badger(friend of mine helped me imagine a name for him too- "Brian"... And yes, he's got about as thick an irish accent as you can imagine.), and they'd do ordinary after work talking about eachothers home life (Ralph proudly saying his daughters got her first fang, Sam talking about his gardening) and watch the game- played by rabbits and foxes on the TV. It did make me think the parts in between levels could take place at that bar in my headcanon and Sam is the one who gives out the tips, feeling that Ralphs been slipping a bit. ("Look, Ralph- I'm not telling you how to do your job- but if I see a bush moving I KNOW it's you..."/"Ralph, buddy- you gotta try mixing it up- keep me on my toes... Just saying this as a friend...") You could STILL have Daffy in there, but it just seemed a little strange to me that Ralph was on a gameshow that was basically just his 9-5 work. XD That said, this is probably one of my favorite looney tunes games of all time, and I wish it got a remaster sometime...

[@battybuddy]

I could also imagine the difference between if you win a level or fail a level could be that if you win, Ralphs normal, and if you lose, he's in a full-body cast or has SOME other bandages related to however he got hurt. Seeing as the game does have checkpoints for individual levers, you could get that "Failure" bit if you ended up leaving the level, or restarting it, and Ralphs just banged up based around whatever KOed him last.

[@bc454irocz89]

I hate those torrents, I mean turrets. Cant wait for sonic 2

[@cratorcorner]

Be ready for that to be a BIG episode

[@bc454irocz89]

@cratorcorner well you know what comes after that...

[@misteridiot]

Who is 'Ralph'? Isn't his name Wile E. Coyote?

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

Ralph Wolf is Wile’s cousin, they look similar at first but the difference is in their fur shade and nose color. Wile has light brown fur and a black nose, Ralph has dark brown fur and a red nose.

[@thapupfather]

whos ralph

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

Ralph Wolf, he appears in several Looney Tunes shorts centered around a “job” where he and Sam Sheepdog work to guard sheep. It’s unclear why they’re doing it, but I assume ACME is involved.

[@cyberchocolate64]

Fun fact what shigeru miyamoto said about ants in his backyard actually isn't true and he admitted a few years later it was all just to help the games marketability.
