You Won't Believe the Surprising Truth About Indiana Jones NES Games | Ep. 63

[@knightdehumidifier]

Thank you Low G(erst) Mann, the Low Gerstmavity Mann.

[@MattBorchert]

The world wasn't ready for this double double header.

[@vizuz]

Two episodes this week, nice! 🙂

[@kevinkuenn5733]

This week we get two 8-bit rankings duct-taped together, it's like the TurboGrafx-16 of weeks!

[@GreatistheWorld]

Indiana Jones (Taito) might have the best 808 kickdrum on the NES. The trunk rattle is built in. It’s on some Felix da Housecat shit

[@kevinkuenn5733]

That soundtrack has no right to be that funky. Especially given the fact that funk wasn't yet invented in 1938.

[@RonnieBarzel]

It’s thisclose to being titleable “Indiana Jones Theme [Dance Mix]”

[@seanj3312]

Did we always know that Indiana Jones' music SLAPS like this?!?!

[@Arenow]

There might have been many Indiana Jones games on the NES, but there was no other Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondylus

[@knightdehumidifier]

You can't have two Dynowarz, then it'd be a Dynowarzs

[@Skaglick]

World Dynowarz 2: The Re-destruction of Spondylus

[@UberNeuman]

The Truth About Indiana Jones NES Games: They belong in a landfill not a museum.

[@bdre5555]

Two NES ranking videos in one week? Well damn, apparently there is a god.

[@OldMan_PJ]

The thing that elevated many NES games was the Game Genie.

[@JonathosDX]

Deja Vu got ported to the GBC along with it's sequel and the UI is much nicer. As are the graphics and music.

[@MNeely]

Not a lot of people know this, but the digitized voice sample of "out" in Roger Clemens MVP Baseball is actually the voice of Roger Clemens.

[@funforalgernon]

1:33:12 Important moment in science

[@henrytopia721]

the film so nice they gamed it twice

[@IllegallySighted]

I was happy to have an NES stream earlier this week, but very surprised to see another one on Friday. Hell yeah!

[@bluespaceman7937]

I'd like to see a retro-style modern remake of the Taito Indiana Jones games. You could make something special with improved controls and a more player-friendly interface, etc.

[@Spirit0f]

That Taito Indiana Jones games is one of the most infuriating games I can remember playing as a kid. Once you know what to do you can beat it in, like, 20 minutes. I bought it and beat it in the same weekend. It felt like the bitcoin of the NES library.

[@bdre5555]

The Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade LucasArts point and click game. That was the good one.

[@AntiSocialHero]

Been drinking Sparkling Ice with Caffeine as a placebo to real energy drinks. The flavors are strong and has about 75mg of caffeine per 16oz can.

[@pluckylump]

That Deja Vu music sounds so much like Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle music.

[@starlightwitch12]

It's from Kemco, and uses the same Kemco sound driver from other games.

[@pepaw257]

Been waiting for Dejavu. Loved exploring it as a kid

[@CassidyListon]

I loved Gargoyle's Quest on GB, but by the time Gargoyle's Quest 2 came out we were already on SNES. Always was curious about it tho.

[@BunnySuicida]

I dig what Roger Clemens is putting down.

[@Retro64_]

Another ranking the NES in the same week! You're spoiling us Mr Gerstmann.

[@Jagerbomber]

The amount of frames of animation in that 2nd Indiana Jones game is unsettling along with the outline

[@Renoistic]

Has the Shovel Knight devs ever listed Gargoyle's Quest as an inspiration? Because the similarities are striking.

[@Duckyofalarcon]

I for one would love a baseball/sports only episode. Even for the games that suck (most of them) just seeing them all back to back seems like a fun thing for sickos (me)

[@MrGreedylou]

i love that they got Liam Neeson to play Indy in the nes version (taito)

[@Ginias12]

30:30 can't believe they spelled Jehovah with a J 😤

[@Chummy8]

That Indiana Jones kick is amazing.

[@derekpetrarca5421]

Man, Deja Vu was so weirdly cool to me as a kid.

[@MonotoneTim]

Thanks for making these Jeff, I appreciate you and all that you do.

[@timbarton44]

I wouldn't like it now, but I played sooooo much of Roger Clemens baseball and loved it.

[@Pimpemon]

At the end of this series, I hope Jeff has his personal list ready to go side by side next to the science.

[@ericfuchs123]

New York Rebels is really damn funny.

[@charlenemaximum]

why in the world does Taito's music have to go so hard in even a fucking Indiana Jones game dude...

[@MrTableDesk]

Because Tim and Geoff Follin.

[@Achoohorsey]

“Endorsed with permission by Roger Clemens” - Doesn’t “endorsed” imply permission was given? Or is Roger Clemens being held somewhere against his will? For all its flaws, that Taito Indy game looks really nice for the era! The Ubisoft one, on the other hand, screams ZX Spectrum.

[@RonnieBarzel]

I’ve never been seasick before, but damn if that motion of the Coronado in “Last Crusade” (or as the legal statement calls it, “Indy III”) is making me kinda queasy.

[@furrymessiah]

None of those look like the cup of a carpenter...

[@beatchef]

Wow, the Ubisoft Indiana Jones looks like an extremely advanced game for an unmade Spectrum system

[@ryanrix1456]

taito jones has some incredible music

[@custum18]

Puff McMuffen is gonna give you amnesia.

[@bdre5555]

Temple of Doom and Raiders are tied for the best Indiana Jones film.

[@furrymessiah]

We do not speak of Temple of Doom in this house.

[@Ghadius]

I didn't know there was kind of a Demon's Crest on NES. I went through DC for the first time last year since it was on Switch and it stands the test of time.

[@rygar8bit2]

Demon's Crest is Gargoyle's Quest 3.

[@aegisfate117]

Gaza Valley = Impossible Popsicle = Possible

[@justsignmeup911]

The Lucasarts Last Crusade game also randomizes the grail. If you don't get all the clues, none of the grails are correct.

[@pointblank0020]

I can't hold all these NES rankings

[@darrnellnott07]

Two scientific endeavors in one week! The Nobel Prize community would be wise to keep this in mind!!

[@steve43ful]

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: Jeffstop

[@SimBen3]

I truly wonder if this year we'll finally get a second good Indiana Jones game. OF COURSE I mean Fate of Atlantis.

[@SimBen3]

What the fuck, there was no J in templar times, everybody knows that

[@donovaneckstrom]

Another Follin banger with Last Crusade. I was obsessed with it as a kid.

[@donovaneckstrom]

The good Taito not the bad other.

[@RonnieBarzel]

Oh, it’s a Tim Follin joint? I’m only up to the “unscramble the Grail image”, so I haven’t seen any credits yet.

[@ericfuchs123]

More Fridays this week than a TGIF restaurant.

[@Supaslicer]

Still waiting for start tropics

[@pjalne]

If I come across a sliding puzzle in a game I just immediately go online for a solution. I feel like it should be illegal to release a console without an option to turn off sliding puzzles on a system level.

[@hideokojimajr]

The grape ghost is very good

[@nightcitywanderer]

12:03 I see what you did there...

[@Sam_McClurg]

Why does the dude on the title screen for Deja Vu look like Vince McMahons and Tom Hollands love child

[@mikesmith1892]

Two scientific delves into 8-bit NES games in one week? It’s like finding a buck in your pocket on laundry day.

[@Siepher83]

C4 is not powerful, that shit is straight up VOLATILE, counting steps until you can make it to the toilet volatile💀

[@redbaron2455]

Jeff your spoiling us

[@SatNightSpecials]

Just as I thought: Jeff is in the pocket of Big Whip. Sad!

[@ItMeDwaeji]

20:41 Not even Scorn?

[@iamflipachip]

The energy drink consumption scares me.

[@xtlm]

Woah, I clicked on this when it uploaded lol

[@benl8704]

Twice in one week Jeff? What do you think I am, some kind of machine?

[@Duckyofalarcon]

That Roger Clemens MVP Baseball is the most style over substance game I've seen. I bet it looked great in a magazine or on the back of the box art but god damn that looks terrible to actually play.

[@andrew77961]

I was thinking that second indy game looked gameboyish.

[@andrew77961]
