that was the original plan, I was going to actually create and code the game myself, publish it, and wait to see who sues me for copyright - I could find the game that way

Great video. Came in with no knowledge of Sproink (like 99% of the world) and came out happy that a random youtuber found their childhood game. Wholesome stuff 💙

I dont have an XJ, nor have I ever played sproink, and I typically only watch channels with already massive followings... But this came up on my page and had me hooked. Loved this video and also your XJ phillips head/hex research. Keep it up man. +1 sub.

so glad this got recommended to me, i love stuff like this! really fun video :) a couple thoughts: 1) there is an unlicensed PC port of Marble Blast Ultra that can be found online! i remember finding it several years ago and having a lot of fun with it. 2) i don’t THINK i’ve played this and its probably just my brain making false memories (the gameplay footage looks totally unfamiliar to me), but while you were reading the description in your reddit post, i felt so sure I’d played this at some point lol.

I made a reddit post on this game too without the knowledge of the post mentioned in this video. I played this game so much as a kid after getting home from school. I'd be stuck at my mom's work pretty much everyday so I'd play all these interesting games on her work computer. I randomly thought of this game about 2 years ago, but didn't know the name. I really wanted to watch gameplay on it when I learned the name, but there weren't any really. Now there is!

I really wanted to watch a Waemid video so I went to the channel and clicked on the video tab, and holy shit there's something about a video game, Waemid does obscure video game videos now? WTH, lol, and I'm somewhat tempted to watch the whole playlist, but I know I would probably get bored and see about 10 other videos that can actually be an informative, cool video though, this is why I love physical media, great job on preserving video game history!

I had a similar situation with an Android game called shellrazor. Such a good game, you darn tortoise you haunted my dreams! Every now and then I would try and track it down again and kept going in the same circles seeing the same games over and over but not what I was looking for. Until I finally saw it in a thumbnail for an old KZbin video doing a roundup of that year's best Android games or something.

I have a game that I kept thinking just never existed. I SWEAR EVERYONE it DOES and when I find it I'm gonna play it so goddamn hard. It was a minecraft like game on some weird website with other shotty games. It was minecraft, except there was just hills with trees, and random sand pits. There was only 1 song playing in the background Over and Over. The Minecraft theme. It was extremely subliminal and lonely. I swear it sounds like a fever dream but istg it existed. I can't find it.

There was a ton of minecraft clones, because of how massively successful it was, there may be no telling what it was simply because of how many minecraft clones existed in its early hay day. I remember a rather dark one on Xbox 360 called CastleminerZ
