The X-Files Game (PS1) - Retro Game Review

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

The fact this gave us essentially an exclusive episode alone made me love the hell out of it. X-Files has been one of those shows I adored since a kid and like it a lot more nowadays since I can fully appreciate everything the show offers.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+AlphaOmegaSin Me too! I rewatched the first few seasons when the new series was announced. Though, sadly, I found most of the new episodes disappointing.

[@ergheiz83]

@@Cannotbetamed1 A couple of them are actually decent, but I agree most new episodes were disappointing. I wish they could have brought back Vince Gilligan to write :(

[@ruffusgoodman4137]

So sad I missed this game, but at the time I don't think my PC (if anyone could call that electronic oldsmobile a PC) could run it

[@TitaniumTurbine]

@@ruffusgoodman4137 You didn’t miss it.. you can still play it (PSX emulators) AND it’s totally worth it!!! It’s nostalgic five star material.

[@TheMultiGunMan]

I just bought this game for the PS1. Thank you for the review.

[@lamNoJedi]

What's your opinion ?

[@TheMultiGunMan]

@@lamNoJedi I liked it. It's a decent game especially if you're a fan of the TV show.

[@lamNoJedi]

@@TheMultiGunMan I just got a modded ps2 filled with ps1 and 2 games. I wanted to see if this and the ps2 game are worth it. Thanks

[@karlsebastiansollenhag8802]

I played this on PC, still have the discs. I love adventure games. Sierra did a a lot of FMV adventure games for a while, those will have a special place in my heart.

[@tiutiu859]

The X-Files was my jam. I played this game countless of times in my early teens. Glad I still have the original game and all of it's 7 cd roms.

[@mutinyonthekitkat]

I remember this being v. atmospheric and scary playing it into the night.

[@WrathOfGrapesN7]

I'm a bit late to the party on this video, but I've been on a bit of an X-Files kick lately and just found your channel, and it's crazy that you basically just described my childhood, lol.

[@JamieBainbridge]

That opening. Who remembers sending and receiving actual faxes.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I have had to use a fax machine more than once in the last decade and each time it's made me furious that the technology still exists.

[@runarvollan]

On the Ps1 version you can flick between the hotspots holding one of the shouder buttons and pressing left/ right on the d-pad. Also, enable the "smart A.I." or whatever it's called in the options, to teleport to vital places in the scenes of investigation

[@chrisandersen7542]

This channels awesome, got here trying to see why the xfiles game was so many discs & MBs lol nice to see another x-files fan person

[@schtoltenheimreinbach7312]

Hey I just discovered your channel today and I had this whole playlist on while I worked. Great stuff and I'm looking forward to more reviews. :D

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Schtoltenheim Reinbach Thanks! More reviews will be coming soon.

[@EagleLeader1]

Fellow Canadian here. Great video. I tried playing this via emulation, it was way too difficult as I eventually got to a point where I had no clue what to do next. Especially since you don't necessarily need to do tasks in any particular order meant I didn't have the patience to go through a walkthrough to hunt what I've done & need to do next. Was just a casual fan of the show so maybe that's why I didn't have the motivation. I was more a fan of UFO conspiracy than the show since at least half of the episodes I caught never seemed to have anything to do with aliens. Didn't care much for mutants or cults or the comedic episodes.

[@bigman2352]

3:50 actually the PlayStation did have a mouse although hardly anyone ever used it

[@joecrackin3783]

I'm finishing up the original series now. On the last season. Just grabbed this game today, looking forward to playing it.

[@ergheiz83]

Cool review, brings back some fond memories of watching new weekly episodes of The X-Files. It also makes me think this point and click format would be perfect for a Millennium game, the other, underrated great series from Chris Carter.

[@samknocke2030]

Great review as usual! Would love to see one of Dino Crisis.

[@RS-li4jf]

You earned the subscribe with this video. Was on the fence about buying this one. Gonna get it from the retro place next time I'm out. Thank you.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Sweet!

[@sarikrana4215]

I love Scully too (and Mulder).

[@The_Game_Juggler_ME]

I Remember this game, wonder if PSN will ever release this.

[@oldirtygamer]

Having watched this video, and having just seen a copy at the local retro gaming store. I am glad to have this in my collection.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

It's a pretty fun game, especially if you're an X-Files fan.

[@backpackingtony1779]

I remember playing this game back in the day. I used to subscribe to all the video game magazines (IGN, PS Nation, Next Generation, EGM etc). One of those magazines had a walkthrough for the X-Files. I ran out and rented it for a weekend. Beat it using that walkthrough. I thought it was less of a game and more of a playable episode.

[@GameplayandTalk]

A fitting review considering the new season recently started! I'm a bit late to the series, but I did start watching about a year and a half ago and I'm halfway through Season 4 right now. A couple of months ago I picked up the PS1 game as well and played through to the end of disc 1. It's neat to see the nods to the show, like the Jose Chung book (funny enough, after seeing that in-game, the next episode I watched was coincidentally the one where they meet Chung and he tries to write a book about Mulder and Scully's endeavors). As far as the gameplay itself, I think it would have been nice if there was mouse support (I don't think there is), and I wish they let you use the shoulder keys and d-pad for quick movement since most movement seems to be handled in only four directions anyway. It definitely seems like the kind of game that's good for fans of the series. I'll have to put more time into it soon and try to finish it.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Gameplay and Talk The controls could have definitely been better. They shouldn't have tried to directly copy the control scheme from PC without adjusting something.

[@akituazon5784]

You can hold R2 plus the d-pad to snap on the clickable spots.

[@krikit]

I too went through a faze of wanting to be in the Bureau. Wore an "I want to believe" shirt in high school, had to ignore the haters for that one.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I don't remember getting much hate for X-Files apparel, though I also had to wear a uniform in high school.

[@makinjica]

Watching x-files late night on tv ,playing x files later on (ps1) .. Now this is to much nostalgic. " time is the fire in which we burn "

[@TheGameGrinder]

Good review, and I really liked the personal tie-ins, especially the whisper, haha. I'm super excited for the new season of the series.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Me too! I hope it's good.

[@jasonmar.6883]

Do you enjoy playing the Wii U? It would be cool to see you review a game from it.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Jason Mar. Not really, it's probably been a year since I've touched the Wii U. I have an issue with the controllers, and the lack of space on the system, plus Nintendo is really trigger happy with their copyright takedowns so that kinda puts me off using gootage from any recent Nintendo first party stuff.

[@PlanetoftheTapes]

Great episode Pam! I'm a huge X-Files fan and bought this game when it was first released. While I'll admit I would of preferred an open world or a platformer, this game was enjoyable.

Oh yes,one of my personal favs.Ive got fond memories of this,Fox Hunt and Psychic Detective(Love FMV titles).I actually picked it up to play on my PS3 recently but then found out if you play it on there that the cursor ends up being glitchy.Tried playing it but just kinda threw me out of the atmosphere.Guess Ill look for the PC version at this point.

[@kri249]

There's no shame in confessing ones love for the X-Files in the 90s. In highschool me and my friends were mad for it. I even have a few of the comic books. And, *ahem* I was a teenage boy at the time. You weren't the only one who loved Scully. But all that aside, I think I still have this game for PS1. I need to give it a proper playthrough. I always found it amusing shooting your own reflection in the mirror. I can't remember you died or got arrested for murder.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I like the death scenes in the game

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Justin Jackson I don't think I remember the trading card game.

[@zalmute423]

+Cannot be Tamed I thought it was cool. Each player has an xfile and the main win condition was to guess your opponents. Each xfile has several items that the other player has to figure out but to do so they have to have agents investigate sites. It's been years since I played so my memory is muddy.

[@chrisd8458]

I hate point and click games. I think they are stupid and a complete waste of time. That's what I went into this game with. I first played it when I was a kid. I never watched x files, I knew what it was but didnt care. The second the first disc went in. I was hooked. For what reason I don't know. And still dont because I'm still not a fan of point and click games. I wasn't a fan of x files but I found the game amazing. One of my top 10 favorites of all time.I can only imagine what this game did for actual fans of the show. This game is the reason I got into the show. Yesterday I was browsing kijiji and found a copy. I was promised it would be nearly perfect in condition and that disc 1 had minor scratches. I drove 2 hours for this game and the discs were conveniently re arranged in the case. Disc 1 was behind the manual on disc 3. Disc 2 and 4 are nearly perfect. 3 has the minor scratches, and disc 1 looks like it went through a meat grinder. I was heart broken thinking I had just wasted my time and money. I was thinking about getting disc 1 professionally resurfaced the whole way home. I put it in the console. And the fucker actually worked flawlessly. It made no sense. Not so much as a hick up. I've had games with far less damage on them stop working completely. This thing looks like it was used as a weapon in a war. I was mainly concerned because it is a FMV game. How is it the other game I bought can barely get through its intro and skips Terribly and yet the disc that shouldn't work does, perfectly. Something is afoot here.The truth is out there........

[@Cannotbetamed1]

That is mysterious. Probably caused by aliens.

I'm also an avid video game/console collector with a filled game room. Simply put: Need. This. Game. Thanks, as I'm into FMV point & click games, like two games I have for the 3DO, Night Trap and Psychic Detective.

I've been a huge fan of The X-Files ever since it was first shown on BBC 2, here in the UK. I've actually owned a copy of the PS1 game for years, but have never got round to playing it yet. There is also a pretty good Resident Evil-style survival horror game on the PS2, which is a lot of fun.

[@antonwaldenschlossert2944]

We would like to know which is your favourite Episode in the whole Series, the mine is 1.-''SPACE''(S1, E9), ED LAUTER, SUSANNA THOMPSSON. 2.-''SHADOWS''(S1, E6), LISA WALTZ, BARRY PRIMUS. 3.-''SQUEEZE'' (S1, E3), DONAL LOGUE, DOUG HUTCHINSON, HEINRICH BECKMANN. 4.-''CONDUIT'' (S1, E4), DONALD GIBB, CARRIE SNODGRASS. 5.-''GENDERBENDER'' (S1, E12), MITCHELL KOSTERMAN, BRENT HINKLEY, NICHOLAS LEA, MICHELLE GOODGER, KATE TWÁ, PETER STEBBINGS. BONUS TRACK: +''ERLENMEYER FLASK'' (S1, E24), KEN KRAMER, JERRY HARDIN, JAMES LEARD, LINDSEY GINTER, ANNE DE SALVO SIMON WEBB. Your Channel name is wonderful, I think that the tenth season is also very good, but it is a shame that the media had been so despective with that, making some fans turn the back against it, for me it was for fun, congregation and solemnity made, so it would not be long, and of course some episodes may be comedic and not so seriously located, contrary to the very classic paranoid attitude got at essential chapters. I would also like to return to that 'TOP SECRET' environment, but I have to admit that it made unsleepy and weird very months if not really years, so I owe CHRIS and FRANK SPOTNITZ many unbeleavable experiences in my life thanks to their creation, I gone for a special form in my life, very FBI type, so I could understand the sense of order and secrecy. To be fair no any other series have captivated the conscience and awareness Status so tight like this one has done, and I think the creators deserve the series to be watced a new time, I, by my no sleep night time, see the first four seasons, as rower as better. I feel so great exploring all positions in the series, including the SMOKEMAN, what does it mean to be him, every single mission, the watch agenda, his family, the way he lives the day and night. Which are his dreams, the way he sees the existence, his youth, his beloved, his relation with the Aliens, and the list finds no end. A very intensive way to take your life, from a single meanless poor point of decay until the highest top of the universe, not exactly for the supposed good of humanity but for the innerst conscience, so that is a point for every article that absorts the watcher, the concience opening, rather than fake believes about moral and rightship. It was from beginning expected from the fans this way, an undirect wise cleaver form to overlook a series, not only the handling of the Good, but for all possible angles in the human mind, I am happy that the cast are friendly each other, and they show to be like family, I would like that you make a tribute video for them showing the very best of paranoid, casual, mean and crazy sides including bloopers, that is a lot to ask, but the series really deserves it. Three times hurra for CHRIS CARTER, KIM MANNERS, FRANK SPOTNITZ, DAVID DUCHOVNY, GILLIAN ANDERSSON and CANNOT BE TAMED!!!

[@Cannotbetamed1]

My favourite episodes are: - Darkness Falls - Beyond the Sea - Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose - Die Hand Die Verletzt - Bad Blood - Small Potatoes

[@StefanHomberger]

Consoles can be great for point and click games, and most are mouse compatible with their respective systems (the Saturn's Japanese library is full of them, including some PC ports like Phantasmagoria). It's too bad this one didn't include mouse support.

It's kind of amusing that they actually made a mouse for the PS1, and they didn't make games like this compatible with it.

[@frankschneider6156]

+Joe Goes Retro There are several adapters for usage of standard usb mouse and keyboard for the PS1/PS2 instead of the standard controller, so no game support required. Although intentionally designed primarily for usage with FPS, they work with all other games too. So if you want to use this with a mouse, just get yourself such an adapter (they are petty cheap nowadays). I haven't tried this, but as there are several adapters for connecting PS1/PS2 peripheral to PS3, chaining these two should enable you to use mouse and keyboard also on a PS3.

I enjoyed this review! This looks like a game that I would enjoy, except that I'm not too familiar with X-Files. I guess I'm a sucker for point-n-click adventures, so I'm gonna keep an eye out for it. Of course if I want to truly enjoy it, I'll probably need to watch the majority of the series first. It's probably like South Park: The Stick of Truth. I wouldn't have enjoyed that game half as much as I did if I wasn't such a big fan of the show. And the heart transition you used when you said: "I love you, Scully", cracked me up!

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Westapo: Video Games and Loud Music If you want to watch the show to appreciate the game more, you could probably just watch the first couple season, or select episodes from them.

Three last questions were for joke, sorry, great article, I think you should make a top 25 so you could set also remarkable titles hard to get but essential for the players, like those which could never be so publicly rated as the exclusive licence graded ones, few suggestions like: +DISCWORLD NOIR. +ROLLCAGE. +THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN. +NOSFERATU. +SHADOWMASTER. +NECRONOMICON. +QUAKE. +GEX, ENTER THE GECKO. By the way that Hair Style like MISS SLOANE and GILLIAN ANDERSSON together is very awesome.

Great Review! I have this game on Playstation, but I have'nt mustered the curage to play it yet. I played it with my first girlfriend on PC back in 2000 and loved it, but I thought the playstation version would'nt be as good after I saw the first cinematics in the game. I did'nt want to ruin a good memory. But after watching this I might give it a go. It looks good enough, and if I can get used to the controlls (not as good as the PC as you said) then I'll have some grade A nostalgia to look forward to :)

I didn't know that existed FMV games for PlayStation 1!!! Big surprise!!

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Oriental Attack There are a few. There's another called Fox Hunt, which is one of the most rare games on the system that I need to play soon.

I was 9 when I started watching xfiles. Back when I was first given a TV for my bedroom aha

[@bigman2352]

5:59 if you think that actings bad you should hear his voice over acting in the 2nd x files game (resist or serve) it’s shockingly bad.

[@AlmasyAlliances]

The random eye showing up @3:29 was kinda weird.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Trebor Almasy It's the look icon

[@xthemetalmilitiax]

Love this game played it non stop love the x files you are awesome Pam ....your BF is a lucky dude

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Thanks!

[@rand64444]

Ok...I seriously thought I was the only one to play this. I even forgot that I had until I saw this!

[@awelcruiz]

I've heard this game has issues running on a PS2 or PS3. Confirm or deny?

[@DarthKaine666]

This game was pretty good, not as good as the show of course but still pretty fun. BTW I love the fact that Pam is as much of an X-files fan as I am.

[@DannyDannies1985]

I bought the pc version when came out in 1998, i remember i live in Spain and the voices was in spanish, was a little weird but i loved that game, bcs i was a huge fan of x files.

[@CrazyD81]

Where to buy this game?

[@LordHorst]

I completly agree with the review. I am biased towards the game as well (having watched all seasons available back then and being hughely into the X-Files during the time this game was released), so maybe I go easier than others on the many flaws you mentioned. The controls are very awkward and navigating the Tarakan and the Warehouse can be a huge pain in the ass. And the final location in the game... I think I would have never been able to sit through this if it hadn't been for walkthroughs telling me what to do. But we get to play a full episode of The X-Files, and it's amazing how much work the developers put into this game. Scenes can play out differently depending on how you react to people (you can be an ass to Astadorian and she will react accordingly, trying to get rid of you before she heads to the morgue) and the acting is pretty good. Well, and the game has Gillian Anderson. Any game featuring the amazing Gillian Anderson is a good game. Because Gillian Anderson is amazing. Oh, and have I mentioned that Gillian Anderson is amazing?

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Gillian Anderson makes everything better.

[@travelerluke5748]

[@TheDevilsHorizon.Official]

Thank you! Your user name is relevant to my interests.

Cannot be Tamed That's great! you can also take a look to my channel.

[@StephenWilds]

Great video. I was a huge X-Files fan myself, but I think you might have me beat, and you tell the embarassing stuff because I totally laughed at that part. :P I may need to try this game at some point.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

+Stephen Wilds I might have been a little *too* into X-Files when I was young. :)

[@StephenWilds]

+Cannot be Tamed It's okay, we all love Scully. :)

[@signaltome]

I remember playing this on the PC but sadly I have lost my copy of it somewhere. Probably can't play it on my modern PC anyway. ;-) I was a huge fan of the show as well but now as a modern binge watcher I never got past the fourth season. I think it lost some of its appeal and lowered its standards after that I feel. I dunno. It was also created during the FMV craze when that was the "new direction" of video games. That direction didn't last long sadly, maybe a bit before its time. I love point and click games, I can't remember how many times I played through The Beast Within. :-)

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I really liked X-Files up to the 5th season. Beast Within is great.

[@signaltome]

@@Cannotbetamed1 I watched five about half way. I guess the series is not really made for binge watching. :-) All Gabe Knight are good but Beast is what I grew up with. (When I found that there was a novel of Beast as well I spent almost 120 dollars on a prestine used paperback of it. Well worth it. :-P)

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Love FMV, have this. Should probably pop it in soon... =)

[@StefanHomberger]

+SegaCDUniverse You are the FMV king!

[@SegaCDUniverse]

+Stefan Homberger Aww shucks!
