​@@CarlosGutierrez-ef2pdNowhere near the impact that Myst made though.

[@torgo_]

From what I recall reading in magazines at the time, the game cost a huge fortune to make, and didn't perform anywhere near expectations; it was a flop and a commercial disaster. Immediately afterwards the studio was shuttered and liquidated. Which is a shame because today we never see unique & creative oddball games like this, especially not with financial backing.@@CarlosGutierrez-ef2pd

OH MY GOD DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY YEARS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS GAME?! I had this game as a child (my parents when they were married were massive point and click fans. Gabriel Knight 1 and 2, Black Dahlia, Ripper, Broken Sword etc. Basically all the big hitters and a lot of small ones. This one however stuck in my mind and for years I couldn't find it until I had help from Reddits 'tip of my joystick' community. It's a strangely forgotten game and It's a tragedy it's not on GOG yet. Hopefully this video pops off and someone can work out the rights for it because the amount of talent behind this is astounding.

Or, they just aren't made aware of the game until they are able to see it on a storefront. Basically I just want more older games to be accessible to people who aren't out looking for obscure titles.

[@AlexIvanov]

In old games from the 90s, I especially love the low bitrate of the audio. For some reason these noises and a bit of muffledness sound cozy to me. I don’t know, perhaps it’s imprinting or memories from the childhood (though I didn’t have a PC in the 90s, I only got one in 2003 when I was 15, so I can't really call this effect 'memories from the childhood'), but it works.

[@tjsase]

I feel that! I think it's because of the aliasing, where higher frequencies are mirrored into the lower frequencies, causing harsh, atonal noise that does not occur anywhere in nature. I think this signals to us that we are hearing into a completely different world, a world that had been defined by an expanse of imagination.

[@nickromano3087]

Normally live actors aren't as good as voice actors, but this game has really good deliveries. I'm kinda glad it's niche because I would not like the world where people use this as a defense for celebrity VO. This game is honestly excellent, if somewhat simple

[@QuantumWaltz]

I agree on the subject of celebrity VO versus proper VO But it also amuses me to think that the casting on this was "Robert asked his friends if they wanted to voice characters in a game he was directing, and they agreed," making this identical to a great many game developers' first games... just that Robert DeNiro's friends are generally all famous. I have no idea how much of the casting was "so-and-so would make for a great big name" and how much is "oh, Cher owes me one for the save at the last gala, let me make a few phone calls" but it still tickles me.

[@brandonrebidue7421]

Jim Belushi is actually a better V A than he is an actor. His Hey Arnold work particularly so

[@AquwardlyGay]

Honestly, I think the reason Cher works is just because she's... Cher. Her voice is so unique and she seems to constantly just play as herself. Also I think she's done very few VA work, but from what I saw all the things that she DID VA in were basically just her voicing herself.

Hide Kojima may be as close as we get.

[@GatekeeperofOld]

Rockstar games has had the voice actor talent but wouldn’t it be wild if a Hollywood figure like Christopher Walken, Seth Rogan, Green, or McFarlane started a video game company? A lot of these actors and actresses do get a fair amount of roles in voiceover but often go unnoticed.

[@highestsettings]

If that happened today, it would be squandered on a middle of the road action game with too many poorly staged cutscenes. It certainly wouldn't be something as bold as this.

[@SkilledKill]

It's also why this game will never get a modern port or even a fan port because there is way to much money involved in this with celebrity voice overs

[@0002pA]

We figured it all out through trial and error. It was how games like this padded out their length, so that people thought they were getting a longer experience - because they were spending more time on puzzles. Resident Evil and such are the same way. Once you know how to do the puzzles, all the wandering and guessing goes away, and the game is like 3-4 hours.

Somewhere around 29:53 you ask how to realize what the red color means, and even though I never played this, I think it might have to do with the colored squares.

We had a wide variety of games from RPGs to RTS games. Shooters, puzzles, sim games, and a lot of point and click games. This game was one of them, and none of us liked it. Around 2002, I started getting heavily invested into point and click games thanks to Diablo, Baldur's Gate, Torment, and Fallout 1 & 2. I started messing around with the Movie Monster Games like Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Wolfman. I eventually came back to this one after not understanding Myst, and I still didn't understand it then.

Thanks for making this video!!! This videogame seems amazing!!

[@jaykarhunen6568]

First of all, great video, very entertaining and interesting. I'd never heard of this game, but I do remember seeing the cover art for it in magazines back in the day. There's only one slight thing I'd differ on in this vid. (In a knit picking way). So, here's my take on the genre or how I saw it unfold. I wouldn't say the adventure game genre lost its relevance and profitability entirely by 1996. While that definitely did eventually occur, it was a few years later that the writing was on the wall I'd say. It was more of a slow decline. Which I don't think these gaming companies were quite prepared for, especially a company started by an actor who wouldn't have had any industry foresight. So, you can't blame them entirely for that. A lot of really classic big adventure games were made around this time and after as well. Broken sword came out in 1996, the curse of monkey island 1997, grim fandango 1998. To name a few. I don't think at the time any company could have known the genre was on its way out in popularity and profitability in 96. So, I don't think tribeca was foolish necessarily for attempting an ambitious adventure game and media experience, as this seemed to be. It was just poor timing unfortunately. What was foolish was probably budget and scope, the same choices that most likely plagued a fellow game: Toonstruck, which is another adventure game that was released in 96. A good game by the way, and which was probably influenced by who framed roger rabbit and cool world. One of those issues was getting "named" talent that probably wasn't cheap that would have added to the already strained budget of something that wasn't going to sell in the kind of numbers to warrant those kinds of choices. In the case of toonstruck it was meant to be a game that spanned 3 discs (if I recall) and had a much longer narrative than it ended up having. It stars Tim Curry as the main bad, and Christopher Lloyd as the hero (which is awesome). Plus, the score wasn't just some cheap midi thing you'd seen in older games from that genre. I think what caused the death of the genre ultimately is more of a multi-faceted thing. Doom not being a major reason in my opinion, as doom does not compete in any way with the genre, it's more of an arcadey experience. I'd say what killed its relevance and eventually destroyed it entirely was over saturation, technology and new exciting and competing genres. So, over saturation of shitty adventure titles, which were cheaply and poorly made, (which might have sold in the early 90s) spin off sub genres like FMV didn't help. (which most of the fmv games that were made at the time were at best a guilty pleasures) The 7th guest 1993 being one of the few exceptions. Then games like half-life that came out in 1998 that added a cinematic story and some adventure mechanics to the fps genre. This was probably one of the nails in the coffin, and thief the dark project which came out December of that year as well. Then the emerging 3rd person genre that was getting more and more steam, that eventually was to bring more cinematic cut scenes and stories that were more an adventure game asset previously. Then the tech was going towards more realistic and aesthetically pleasing 3d, which most adventure games had been point and click in 2d with hand drawn backgrounds. (which looked more pleasing versus the early and clunky 3d graphics) It was just a different form of art, a more quaint and charming genre that couldn't fully migrate into 3d successfully and the complexity it demanded, and most of the point and click mechanics were gone and the more challenging puzzles weren't always present in the later 3rd person adventures. I'd say it didn't fully die officially until 1999-2000. One of the last titles I remember seeing were the longest journey 1999 and discworld noir 1999. TLDR: Adventure games had been smaller and cheaper in scope so they were easy to make money with, but with emerging technologies and more immersive experiences it just couldn't survive or compete with other games that were starting to add things like narrative and more immersive worlds to explore I'm afraid. Anyway, hopefully my take was interesting to someone as a gamer who was around back then to experience the somewhat death of my beloved genre. That being said some indie devs still make point and click titles in the old pixelated and modern graphic styles. Revolution actually made a 3d sequel to beneath a steel sky recently for consoles, so the genre isn't entirely dead, but it is niche. However, the genre probably did evolve and merge into other genres. Super massive game's stuff is pretty much a derivative of fmv adventure games using 3d graphics obviously, and fmv games still get made oddly enough. That golden age of adventure games that started with text adventures though, that was to become graphical adventures and mainstream, well that died in the 90's.

i had that game.. it was a real mind trip.

Damnit, yet another video that I can only watch halfway through because I’ve decided I want to give this one a try before getting it spoiled. You’re fast becoming one of my favourite channels and you’ve reignited my passion for weird and obscure games. I really do hope because of videos like yours games like these start reaching a wider audience and more efforts are made for their preservation. These things are special and are so worth exploring.

idk if someone's said it before, but this is an exact example of what happens when artists are able to create. it might be weird and out of this world but it's the principle of the thing.

RE: Thurston Last --- more than just a pun, I think esp with the "tropical isle" context, this may also be a shoutout to "Gilligan's Island", where the conspicuously wealthy passenger was named 'Thurston".

Okay I've returned after getting stuck at Cher crashing my game every time she hands me the key. I'm trying every coin but so far I'm having no luck getting past the error :/ Ask for the Yellow=1 Blue=2 Red=4 solution it is actually telegraphed in one of the paintings after the Drum God room (the colours light up in a sequence of YBBRRR). That being said I didn't find the correlation between the painting and the organ puzzle until I too looked up a guide. So yeah, amazing that anyone managed to figure that out back then.

[@Raphide100]

Okay I've finally gotten the key. If anyone else gets stuck on this issue here is the workaround: Press ctrl-M to bring up the pause menu. Click the moon on the top right to open up preferences. Switch Best Transitions to "off". I also switched on Zip Mode but I doubt that was what fixed the issue. You can also use ctrl-T to toggle Best Transitions.

6:15 Think this might be a reference to some other islands that are very similar? I think so.

[@PandorasFolly]

My cousin played this game like a year or two after it came out. Shit was ridiculously ridiculously hard. I think he basically spent a good chunk of the summer playing it. He solved the red vs blue note part of the organ puzzle by just teying different combinations of red notes untill 4 was the correct answer.

Fantastic video mate

This gives off the same vibes I felt while playing Isle of Pan

[@josephmatthews7698]

Nope trippy artist stuff about wanting to find the meaning of life through creation by finding his muse is exactly what I thought Robert Deniro would try to make. If people like Wolverine have taught me anything its that even though they might play hard cases all those dudes really wanna do is sing and entertain the world.

1996 was not past the heyday of point and click adventure games

[@whade62000]

Back in the day when these trippy point and clicks came out we just wrote them off as failures and went back to our LucasArts and Sierra adventures. But now I think they should be considered a kind of artistic movement or sib-genre, at least for their sheer number.

[@tonyhutz]

I had this game, only played it a handful of times.
