Sproink! The Video Game that Does Exist

[@Ambidextroid]

I was half expecting a twist ending at the very last minute where you reveal you made the whole thing up and just meticulously animated the gameplay footage

[@WAEMIDIV]

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

[@BranchBruh]

@@WAEMIDIV What the... What an unusual and interesting method that most likely would've worked, well I guess thats a little more complicated then the mythical "duck duck go"

[@ovichggat]

why did I just watch 5 minutes of unedited Sproink gameplay

[@WAEMIDIV]

because it's mildly fun and now you know it exists!

[@SirEnVo]

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 💙

[@westongraham2071]

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.

[@WAEMIDIV]

Wow... YT is actually recommending this huh? That's new for me lol I personally didn't think this story was that interesting but I guess the internet does

[@LabDudo]

Did it take anyone else like 5 tries to read the title correctly?

[@fragmentturtle]

No I think your dyslexic lol

[@WGzombie]

There's literally a CD copy of Sproink in the room I'm in, lmao

[@WAEMIDIV]

no way

[@JoeyCannoli]

*It's Sproinkin' time!*

[@loogle8365]

👏👏 Congratulations man, you did what many haven't👏👏 (no irony here, thats awesome)

[@gavinlopez6258]

Here before this blows up

[@WAEMIDIV]

as if, lol

[@Argumentium]

This game has to be one of the wildest takes and spins on a Match 3 game I have ever seen. Looks genuinely fun too.

[@carameleoncookie]

on the topic of forgotten games i do remember this one game where you make cupcakes. It was exclusively on pc for some reason

[@ed07722]

Default game w windows media centre? Purple place or something?

[@carameleoncookie]

@@ed07722 yeah that, except I didn't get to play, I was just an idiot

[@offchristianamr]

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.

[@LabDudo]

I HAVE LOOKED FOR THAT MARBLE GAME FOREVER!

[@WAEMIDIV]

Marble Blast Ultra!

[@spacepals]

Grams and i enjoyed your video, buddy. no one else will have this issue! "Good narrating voice! you should go into radio, or something like that!" Gram says 😊

[@windex2019]

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!

[@JBenedict02]

Reminds me a bit of a very old flash game my mom and I use to play on her laptop in like 2006-2007 called "Gold Strike"

[@chicken1696]

this is the most interesting videos i have seen in a while. not a drama or gameplay or anything. just a person with a topic i am interested. i would love if the algorithm can recommend more video like this.

[@WAEMIDIV]

If I knew people would be even the slightest bit interested in this completely random and obscure topic I would've spent way more time editing it, I honestly thought this one would get like 10 views. But thank you for your support

[@chicken1696]

@@WAEMIDIV there are many people with childhood games they have forgot. you just seems to cannot forget it. same when i try to find a music. thank god for google search.

[@chicken1696]

@@WAEMIDIV no man. this video is relatable. in the past i had a song i know but don't know the name and when i had free time i search for it.

[@dhatsuyuki]

im bouta sproooinnkkk!!!! 😩😩💦

[@the-pezinator]

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!

[@theworkshopwhisperer.5902]

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.

[@redspear007]

Any video inspired by ahoy is an instant W (This video has almost the same exact intro as ahoy's video on polybius)

[@WAEMIDIV]

I've seen that video probably 10 times, it's an excellent watch. I'm very glad you got the reference!

[@sectionofhate]

That's so cool that you managed to find it

[@w.c.777]

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.

[@WAEMIDIV]

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

[@SaltJackalope]

This is sick

[@DeevDaRabbit]

You can still play Marble Blast Ultra on PC.

[@bunnybono1256]

Duckduckgo for the win!!!!

[@FolderBoard]

You got so much about Marble Blast Ultra wrong! The game is nothing like golf and is actually a physics momentum platformer! Also, I don't think it had a physical release.

[@ExtremeWreck]

I am curious on how the developers feel. Do they even know that their game had an impact on someone? This honestly looks decent & there is clear effort put into the storyline & gameplay.

[@WAEMIDIV]

I am also curious perhaps they've also forgotten the game. Maybe someday they'll find this video

[@WAEMIDIV]

why is it always the poorly edited and boring videos that take off, while the painstaking month long projects get 7 views

[@Fewix_]

The game kinda looks interesting

[@hfinnelly1807]

not a Cherokee😔

[@EscarBOOM]

Oh yeah I played that back in the day wtf

[@WAEMIDIV]

bruh you're the first person who recognized it
