Worst Games Ever - M&M's Shell Shocked

[@Specter227]

Fun fact: The developer of this game, Boston Animation, is the successor of a small company called Animation Magic, best known for their Zelda CD-i games.

[@johnperivolaris6447]

When I was 6-7 years old I played the heck out of this game; I loved it. And yet, even as a child, I remember thinking, "The M&M isn't responding very quickly when I press buttons..."

[@kneedeepandfriends7188]

When Ben first started playing I thought to myself "This looks a bit like Crash" I was not ready for how right I was.

[@chikish]

Ben was having way too much fun for this one to qualify for worst games ever! 😂

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

No classic Ben Rage here. 😂

​@@AlmightyPolarBearSo, no classic Ben Ranger here? Oh well...always next time.

[@JayMysterious]

Another game that was an easy paycheck for a voiceover legend

[@MrBeardsley]

Two in this case, three if you count JK Simmons but he’s more of a screen acting legend.

[@JayMysterious]

@@MrBeardsley Absolutely true. However Mr Simmons recently voiced Omniman for the Invincible series. You do you, but I would never tell this man he is less than a legend.

[@shawnfields2369]

​@@JayMysteriousOK, seriously, JK Simmons was actually one of M & M's? He was in a Slim Shady game? You're sure he was the Yellow one? The one that sounds like the voice of Patrick from SpongeBob; doing an impression of an M&M? Because I agree that JK Simmons is an acting legend; in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies; or whatever he's in; because he's awesome at it. But I loved the part in this video, where his head is edited to look like the yellow guy. that was hilarious.

[@JillyMaysHere]

I...embarrassingly had this game when I was 10, and I beat it.

There’s no reason to be embarrassed about the games you liked when you were 10. Or the games you had.

Lol, the irony is that there was a falling out between Eminem and Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and he did a diss track about him.

[@speedwaynutt]

Who else is old enough to remember renting a bad game and thinking you were just bad at it and not that the game was trash. I did it with The Simpsons Skateboarding.

[@jamessloan7432]

I am so relieved Peter eventually noticed that the red boxes were ok to collect - I was getting unreasonably stressed and annoyed that Ben kept avoiding them!

[@enriquegarza3127]

Crash bandicoot taught us to avoid them lol

[@bootsthecat6718]

Chews-day is the best day to play an M&M game

[@Achoohorsey]

I’ve not seen more painfully sluggish movement in a video game before, even for the PS1

[@JojenReed]

If only Dave Benson Phillips voiced every M&M

[@MrBeardsley]

They asked him, but his exo suit got hit.

[@Dirktoothed]

The Whiplash bit nearly made me choke on my supper, good lord. Had no idea J K Simmons voiced an M&M.

[@rayceeya8659]

So this factory makes chocolate and explosives? Well makes as much sense as talking candy I guess.

[@robloxfan23_]

Fun Fact: The reason why the music in the game sounds low pitched is because people at Boston Animation had to compress the music and alter some music instruments or sound effects from The Lost Formulas, presumably due to audio CD-ROM limitations of the PS1.

[@etowngti]

This unlocked a childhood memory of playing this at a friend's house...it was a very hot day and I was so thirsty but too scared to ask for water and my friend would NOT let me have a turn...more repressed memories provided by Triple Jump...cheers, lads 😂

[@PJ_TheAverageGamer]

Seems like this should have been in Weirdest Games Ever.

[@wearelegion2389]

I'm certain that the PC version of this game is still at my parents house. As someone who was in the described age range and not aware of Crash at the time I played it, I thoroughly enjoyed this game numerous times even the math sections and don't remember having issues controlling it. Yes, it was trial and error and some sections are just unfair if you haven't memorized them and really tight in terms of some of the hit boxes, so I think a 5 to 6/10 is pretty accurate from an adult pov, but as a child it really was just fun. Still have no idea who those bikers are nor why you die when you touch the floor in most levels (other than for game design purposes).

[@ombranox]

You're not misremembering. The PC version was better. It still had basically the same level layouts, but the controls were way more responsive.

[@ImNotGregGraffin]

9:43, isn’t that just like working at a maternity hospital? Why am I thinking about this?

[@ombranox]

I had both versions as a kid. The PC version controlled significantly better. Unfortunately, I was playing it without sound, which meant the math sections (removed from Shell Shocked) were impossible.

[@Daniel-be6cj]

Shoutouts to that French reviewer channeling his country's love of existentialist literature, truly the Sartre of game reviewers

[@SoCalJellybean]

Ben: “Why do you die when you touch the floor?!?!” Umm… obviously because the floor is hot lava, Ben, geez!

[@DeathMetalDerf]

Billy West is Red. That's why he kinda sounds a little like Fry from Futurama. JK Simmons is Yellow.

[@shawnfields2369]

Yeah; thats why you can recognize his voice if you're an avid fan of his work, (like Futurama). And so; JK Simmons is the Yellow one? But he sounds like Patrick from SpongeBob, doing an impression of Yellow. Not that Simmons isn't a great actor, it's just, this voice for Yellow, just sounds like Patrick from SpongeBob, that's all I'm saying.

[@stabbedwestward725]

I got this game from a gas station when I was young. It was so difficult that it made me cry, I forgot about this game until I saw the suggestion for this video show up 🤣 the "uh oh" of the yellow m&m seemed like it was taunting me
