[00:00:02] Hell yeah. Kink unlocked. Hey, I'm Jerry. Hey, I'm Aaron. And this is Retro Rehab. Welcome back to Retro Rehab, the greatest collaboration of all time. You know it, I know it, Jerry knows it. I'll shout it from the top of the whatever the fuck bridge is in San Diego or whatever California town. I'll shout it from up top there. I'll climb up there and I'll do it. Of course, I'm Aaron joined by Jerry.
[00:00:42] And I'm Jerry, of course. And I'll shout it from the Golden Gate and I'll jump on that bitch and live. And live. Suicide is badass. No, it's not. Don't do that. Oh, yeah, please don't kill yourself. Sorry. Sorry, everybody. Today, we're gonna be talking about the weirdest of the weird in the PlayStation one library. Oh my, oh my God, is there a lot?
[00:01:07] There's a good number of really weird games in that bitch. But we've dug deep into the library of over 4000 games to try and find them all. No, we we hand tested each one took each one out for a spin like like a cyber truck did not end well. Nope. Someone spun the fuck out in the mud. Just like a cyber truck would if there's even any moisture outside. It's not starting. It's like an old musket.
[00:01:33] It rains. It's like, I don't wanna. No, I hurt my stomach. I'm a cyber truck. That's the fucking AI voice on the inside. I wish the cyber truck just had Betty as the voice, the AI voice. Oh my God. Swing in the chain. Swing in the chain.
[00:01:58] Oh my God. Oh, listeners, if you haven't seen Kung Pao, it has aged like a fine wine. It's totally not offensive at all anymore. And I highly recommend everybody to go watch it. Oh, we need to do a watch party that movie. I'll lose my shit. Yes, part where like, oh, I'm gonna stop talking about this movie after I quote this part.
[00:02:23] But there's the part where the chosen one's master gets beat up and he's like, beware the song of big butts. He beats you up while he plays it. Then he starts snorting like a pig. Oh man. Yep. Shit. So, so this game is right. Not just hidden gems, but games that are just downright strange, but worth a look. We're getting weird today, baby. I'm gonna get weird with it. Yeah. Before we get into that.
[00:02:52] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What could possibly be new in the world of retro? I'll tell you. Jerry? I'll tell you some stuff. Um, do you like Mario RPG? Like the original Super Mario RPG, the legend of the seven stars? Yeah. You like that shit? Yeah. Well, uh, somebody went ahead and made a rom. Yeah, you like that? Uh, somebody made a rom hack of Super Mario RPG called Super Koopa RPG, where you play as the, like the Koopa bros.
[00:03:20] And they replace all of the, the original characters. Yeah. Um, I was checking some stuff out. I kind of want to, I'm going to give it a download and just see what it's all about. I guess there's like a bunch of new stuff. Um, if you go over to romhacking.net, you will find that there. Uh, at the time of this recording, uh, there's a post from June 8th. Uh, it is not June 8th today, but that's when this was posted.
[00:03:43] Uh, and it says that, um, there's new levels, new events, new story and character dialogues, custom sprites, including allies, NPCs, weapons, and enemies. Some custom animations, new items and equipment, new enemy stat, attack patterns, strength, weaknesses, and more. Side content, including collectibles, secret levels, tough battles. You look a tough battle? Holy shit, dude. You look a tough battle? I like a tough battle. I like a tough battle. I like a teepee. It's my normal liberty life. Yeah.
[00:04:11] My, my daily life is a tough battle. Uh, but yeah, that's, uh, it looks pretty cool. And that is by, uh, I didn't catch the name of the, uh, created by an Axum Ranger. An Axum Ranger. So that's, uh, that's the, the, the, uh, I guess the producer of this ROM hack.
[00:04:35] But, uh, if you've played Super Mario RPG and you've gotten to that point, you'll know that Axum Rangers are one of the, um, the bosses or like the enemies in the game that are like kind of replicating, um, Power Rangers. And that's a cool name for, uh, that is fucking cool. Yep. So shout out to an Axum Ranger. Sounds pretty dope.
[00:05:03] It's pretty, um, pretty baller. Also, Doom on the Super Nintendo wasn't the best game. Like it was, it was a Marvel that had even got ported to the Super Nintendo at the time because there's way worse versions of Doom than on the Super Nintendo.
[00:05:24] Um, but, uh, real sunlit space has gone ahead and started to port Doom 2 to the Super Nintendo. Uh, right now there's only the first two levels, but it sounds like they are fully committed to bringing the whole game. So it's like a project that they'll be, uh, they'll be bringing some Doom 2. Okay. Again, that's pretty cool.
[00:05:53] It's the best place to play Doom 2, but it's super cool that they're doing this. I just love when like people just, oh God, that's not a good one. That's a bad one. All the audio is set up. Or no, I think it's the, I think it's the 32X one that doesn't even have music. I think that's what I was thinking of. Yeah. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's the one that doesn't have music. Atari Jaguar is also probably pretty bad too. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I'm, I'm pretty sure if you just said, and the Atari Jaguar version, I'd be like,
[00:06:22] that's a bad one. Uh, oh, and, uh, this just in, you're hearing it here first folks for sure, because nobody checked out that Nintendo direct, but no, they have now released the M rated channel for N64 on the switch and perfect dark and it doesn't work. That's what I've been. Yeah. That's what I've been hearing. Yeah.
[00:06:52] Yeah. It's a, I've seen some clips online of people playing it. And I guess like, I think in the second level, it just goes like full drunk mode. Like it's so, it just like, it's, it's whack looking. Like, I don't understand how they fuck this up. It's their own console. How do they fuck this up? I don't get it. I don't get it. Tell me. Tell me. We got it working on Xbox one.
[00:07:21] So like they got it working somehow back in the, back in 2000 fucking 15 or something. Yeah. But Nintendo didn't have anything to do with that port. I'm just saying it works. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. This is the whole point of retro rehab, man. Game preservation and celebrating it. And God damn it. Leave them alone. Please do believe our boy alone. Yeah. Leave, leave the homie Vim alone.
[00:07:47] Um, and also like, this is what I'm, this is, you know what I'm saying? Keep it a hundred percent. No, I'm saying. No, I'm saying. No, I'm saying the mister over here in the corner. That plays perfect dark. Guess how good it plays perfect dark. Really fucking good. Pretty well. Better than the switch. I'll tell you that. Uh, so the, the, the mister. Yeah. Does it. Mister. No, mister. The sister fister itself.
[00:08:17] Uh, it can do it and it does it good. So don't know what Nintendo's excuse is here, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna pull your britches up. I think I'm sure they'll get it patched out. Like I remember when the N64 shit first came out, like the whole expansion pack first came out. Uh, I think it was Ocarina of Time and one other game that were having major crashing issues and issues with like fog and shit as well too. And they, they, they, uh, I almost said bitched it up.
[00:08:46] They, they patched it up pretty quickly. Bitched it up. No, they, they, they patched it up pretty quickly and fixed it. And it's, uh, plays pretty well. I'd say. I would say so too. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Well, why don't we get weird as fuck on PS one? Oh my God. We're about to get weird as fuck. Uh, so I think it's customary to let go of me.
[00:09:17] Bring out the, bring out the olives, Aaron. Let's, uh, let's get weird as fuck on PS one. Dude. I legitimately just bought a jar of olives the other day. They're jalapeno stuffed and they're so fucking good. Continue. Please tell me that you were like Cheyenne bring up the olives. And she was like, let go of me.
[00:09:46] I was banished to the basement. Cause of your olives. Yeah. Or just like, we'll go with that. I don't know man. You bought olives again? What the fuck Aaron? We had this conversation before. Get in the goddamn basement. Get in the basement. I'm like crippling all of addiction. No dinosaur nuggets for you tonight. Left out in the dog house.
[00:10:16] Like the fan boy from the garage. Poop, poop, poop, poop, please. Mommy, may I please? I don't fucking go. What's happening? All right. So I mean, with a library as massive and expansive as the PlayStation one, there's definitely no shorters of weird games. So what do you think? Should we talk about some weird games? What do you go ahead and yeah, let's get fucking weird. Just pop our shirts off real quick.
[00:10:45] Let's take off our shirts. Want to wrestle? Let's fucking wrestle. All right. What do you got? What do you got for some weird shit, man? I'm definitely not going in order. I'm going to save a price of my weirdest ones for last. Let's let's go to ball number two or to ball to. I mean, first, I don't know why I put the number sign down, but isn't it? No, it isn't number two, right? It's just it's called to ball to. Yeah, or no, it's like total and oh, dot two, isn't it? I think so. Yeah, I think it is.
[00:11:15] I was I was literally just playing it. Yeah. Well, no. So the first total is total number one dot is like, no, dot one. Oh, and then total two is just total two. Yeah. And yeah, it's a weird ass game, man. Tell me more. Yeah. So I don't even know where to start, man. So like, so you love tech and right and you love Pokemon, right?
[00:11:42] What if I were to tell you, you could have two and one have both in one. So, yeah, you go around, you you fight creatures, you tame them. It's been a while since I've played this game. Yeah, you find creatures, you fight them, you tame them. You can fight as them or whatever. And then, yeah, it's just it's got fighting game style combat where it's like one V one.
[00:12:08] And yeah, you have all sorts of cool different monsters you can tame and you have to feed them and all that stuff. But like the quest mode is like it's like when I threw it on, I was like, wait, what? This is top down. There's a town. What the fuck is going on here? Like I was like dungeons and shit, too. Yeah, it's a it's a strange game. I can't believe it's on this list game. And it was it was holy shit. Sorry. It was not drawn. What the fuck?
[00:12:38] It was a curator. I'm a did the visuals. That's what I'm trying to fucking blurt out here. Yeah, when I was looking at it, I was like, this seems very Dragon Ball looking. And yeah, dude, that makes a lot of sense now. Now that you're saying it out loud. But that that cover art, that guy looks not right or something. You know, you know what I'm saying? Like that guy doesn't. He doesn't look right.
[00:13:04] So something going on with his face like it's like misproportioned or something. And he like he reminds me of something. I don't know who it is, but like the cover his face up. His hair is cool. His body is fucking yoked. But like his face is not his face looks like it's made of yolk. Like it's dude. The Japanese cover art is really fucking sweet. Like the Japanese cover looks way better.
[00:13:31] They did like like a hand instead of doing like the 3D model they have in the in the US and like pal or I don't know what the fuck. Like instead of doing like the 3D one they have this like hand drawn one. And that looks really fucking cool. Wow. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. That looks so dope. Holy shit. But it's just it's so fucking weird man.
[00:13:54] It's like I guess maybe they're trying to capitalize on possibly Pokemon in the fighting game craze at the same time. I mean, it's interesting though. It's even got a chocobo in it or not. I shouldn't say a chocobo. It's got chocobos in it and it does. Yeah. Yeah, there's chocobos in it. So weird and it's a fighting game like it's an RP. It's like a RPG fighting game. Yeah.
[00:14:18] Yeah, it's so I guess with all these weird games, I think after talking about each one, we should maybe say like, you know, if it because like some of the ones on my list are worth like throwing on just to see how absolutely absurdly weird they are. Oh, but they're not necessarily good games. But I feel like I feel like Tobel might be a good game.
[00:14:44] Would you would you say it's it's worth throwing on to actually like give it a fair shot? I'd say so. Yeah, it I some the controls are a little janky, but I mean, it's still worth throwing on to experience. That was the first thing as soon as I threw it on. I was like, how do I move? What is going on here? It's like when you press like left and right, you don't move. You like straight. Yeah, but it's yes, it's worth playing man.
[00:15:14] What other game lets you go out and like and fight like I guess human sized lizards beat the shit out of them tame them and then you get to fight as those weird lizards. That is a really cool concept. Yeah, well, is that lizards right? Lizards am I right? Those lizard people.
[00:15:39] Um, is Tobel one like this? I'm fairly certain I forget entirely. Let me look it up real fast. Whoa, it's like I I don't know. Like I've only ever heard of Tobel to being talked about before. I've never like I've heard of Tobel number one, but like I've never heard a lot about it.
[00:16:03] I've only ever heard things about Tobel number two or Tobel to what a weird name and convention to call it. I know man. Tobel number one as the first game when clearly it's the first game and like then it's like now the second one though just Tobel to it's just double to it's awesome. I used to always get it confused with Tom buffers. I could fucking see that dude.
[00:16:29] It looks like it looks like the first game is oh, does have a quest mode actually. Okay. Yeah, so yeah, it's a little bit of the same. Cool. Cool. Well, I would say as a double feature. I don't know. I maybe Tobel number two or Tobel fucking stupid naming convention. Maybe Tobel two has a you know better gameplay than Tobel one, but I would say check it out. It's got some jank stuff in it, but check it out.
[00:16:59] It's weird as fuck. We'll have to stream it sometime. Yeah. Speaking of streaming stuff. I know exactly a game that we have to stream just because I feel like well, we would have to like collect ourselves from laughing so hard so that we could actually play the game. But Pepsi man is probably the craziest shit ever. Like have you ever seen this game in action? Yeah, it's an auto runner, isn't it?
[00:17:26] Yeah, like it's kind of like I don't know like Temple Run kind of like I was gonna say that. It's like exactly like Temple Run surfers. Yeah, stuff like that. And like you're but like I feel like it it's better than any of those runners because it's actually a good game. Like it's actually a lot of fun and it's so ridiculous. Like you're running through people's houses and shit.
[00:17:52] And the objective of the game is just to get to a Pepsi machine so he can get a Pepsi and see man. Pepsi man. Yeah, the theme song to do it. I got to get the drop for that because it is out of this world. And you know what? You know who else likes Pepsi? Mr. We're away. Mr. Three. Oh, man. Dianne today. I just want to tell you. Can we make that up Pepsi man?
[00:18:21] Yeah, obviously man at the man. But yeah, it's like a it's like Crash Bandicoot meets Temple Run if that makes sense. And you're just I could see that collecting cans of Pepsi. Well, like random civilians are just throwing their garbage. I don't know why all these people are in their alleyways just throwing garbage for no reason. And like there's people are popping out of like manholes and shit. And there's like garbage trucks being like, oh shit.
[00:18:49] Here comes Pepsi man better throw a couch at him. But that's what the that's what it is. Like you're just kind of running and stuff and you can like slide and you could jump. And yeah, you know what? It's a lot of fun. I would say this is probably out of all the all the things that I I checked out for this this list of games. Pepsi man is probably the most legitimately fun game that you can just throw on quickly and just be like this is really dumb.
[00:19:18] Oh, and the cut scenes are so stupid. Oh my God. They're so stupid because like this game was made for Japan like this was a Japan only game. And damn it for some but there's a translation. Don't worry. There's a translation thing. And I don't know if they overdubbed it themselves.
[00:19:41] Well, I mean even at the beginning it just shows like clearly America and like well, I it's so funny because it's almost like what Japan must have thought like Americans just look like back in that time because it's just like this kind of chubby dude. Who's just like wearing a white shirt and like blue jeans and he like goes over picks a Pepsi up.
[00:20:05] He's like let's get some Pepsi like and he's just like and it's like dubbed on the bottom in Japanese, but like it's just it's a weird capsule in time of like what like why was there. I mean, you know on Super Nintendo there was cool spot, which was the mascot for seven up and on any yes. Yeah, like three on any yes, too. He had three games on it on any as well, too. There's a checkers game. There was a platformer.
[00:20:35] Oh, yeah. Well, we're on the topic of seven up who the fuck is like like the brink of like thirst who the fuck is like dude. I could fucking go for a seven up like my mind always knows for Sprite or like right. Yeah, every single story sometimes like they don't have right. It's like story. You know like so so Pepsi used to have Sierra mist as their Sprite, right? I don't know but not have this in Canada. I've never heard of Sierra mist.
[00:21:05] That sounds like a fuck. Okay. I love how you like are almost offended by it. You're like, okay, Jesus Christ. I guess fuck. I don't know what the fuck like what sodas do you got? What's the what's one of the popular sodas in Canada educate? Obviously Pepsi and Coke. Dollywood, Pepsi. Yep. Dollywood, Pepsi.
[00:21:30] Waluigi, Pepsi, Dollywood, Pepsi, Dollywood, Pepsi, Dollywood, Pepsi. But yeah, we got. Do you guys have like and W root beer? Yeah, like down there. Root beer. Hell yeah. That's Canadian as fuck. Is it? Yeah. A and W is Canadian. I think. I don't know. Maybe I'm speaking out of my ass here, but I'm pretty sure I don't know. That's that's cool. Like we have.
[00:21:57] Well, not so much anymore, but sometimes there's like you'll see an A and W restaurant here in the States and it'll be like fat fucking burgers and like like greasy diner food like hot dogs and shit and you'll get you'll be able to get a W root beer fresh from the fucking. Oh, yeah. Yeah. From the fountain in a frozen mug. Dude. Yeah, dude. That that root beer hits differently. And I was very disappointed when you did your root beer to your list and you did not include it.
[00:22:26] I was very upset. I would not. I refuse what a W was like at the top. It was. Oh, no. Sorry. It was dad's root beer. Dad's root beers. What's up? As far as like domestic. I haven't tried dad's. But anyways. Yeah. We went really far off topic here. Way too off topic, but oh, well, here we are. Yeah. Check out Pepsi, man. What else you got? Some. Oh boy.
[00:22:56] Things here on this list. Dude. OK, so devil dice. This is one that I tried to record some gameplay for the Super Pod Saga YouTube a while ago. Unfortunately, it didn't work because OBS is stupid, but it's it's cool. Cool little puzzle game where basically this this board is filled with dice. It's it's isometric view. Then you play as a little demon guy or whatever.
[00:23:25] And you basically just walk across the dice and the direction that you walk on top of the dice kind of yeah, like moves the dice in different direction. And as you're walking on the dice and moving it, it'll flip to different faces on the die like, you know, one six, whatever. And it's I think you have to match. It's like you get match three dice of the same face.
[00:23:51] Basically, you met you match dice of the same face or number or whatever. And then I'll clear them off the off the board or table or whatever. I played a shit ton of there was like an endless mode. I think it's what it was called where it just keeps going and going and going and it gets faster like the higher level you get. And that was just fucking on dude. It's it's stupid and like doesn't make sense at times, but it's fun.
[00:24:19] And the the like, how do I explain it? So like the dice that that you match together, it'll slowly like sink off the board. And then once as you're going along dice will continually like fall from the ceiling and it's empty spots and shit like that. And it's just it's it's fun, man. It's goofy. Is it a puzzle game? Yeah, it's a puzzle game.
[00:24:50] Okay. I do know that you you are a man of puzzle games. It's it's fucking awesome, man. And sometimes the boards have like really weird goofy like gimmicks to them. I haven't another one. I haven't played in a while. I really do need to fire this one up again on the old Amber Nick, but it's fun, man. It's cool. Hell yeah. Maybe I'll throw that on. Hell yeah. All right.
[00:25:17] So I tried to throw a game on that I've I've only ever heard about and I've heard I haven't even really heard about that much. I've always heard people say it's like a hidden gem. I wouldn't go that far with it. It's I don't know. It's weird. So Vib Ribbon. Have you ever heard of this? You seen this? I've heard of this and seen it. Yeah, I've heard of it. I've seen of it. I've never played. It's I think it's by the same developers as Pratt of the Rapper.
[00:25:45] And I do believe you can use your own CDs for the soundtrack because there's an option when you when you start a level. It says like use Vib Ribbon CD or insert your own CD. So I think what you can do is you can pop the lid open. Put light. Fuck fucking cannibal corpse in there and just like. Oh, holy shit. Could you imagine? So it's a weird game.
[00:26:13] It's all like I don't know how to describe the style. It's like wireframe looking and it's like black and white and like and it's constantly like like like like very shaky. Yeah, it's it's a weird looking game. And at I when I threw it on I was like alright start game like I'm oh, I I pride myself in being pretty okay at video games and I was like what the fuck is this? Like how do I even play this like I'm like pressing buttons.
[00:26:42] I felt like a child again when you first pick up a like a controller when you're like a child and you're like just mashing buttons being like how do I make things work because I I had no idea. So I backed out and went into how to play and it shows like almost like a cut scene of this thing like singing like the little rabbit thing that you play as it's like singing along and like telling you like, hey, when you see this thing appear on this thing. On the level you have to press this button.
[00:27:10] It's like there's no correlation whatsoever as to why I should press that button for that thing like a giant like rectangle. You need to press our one. I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea. And then like for there's like little jaggies on on the ground yet to press X on those and then like there's like these loop loop circle things and wait.
[00:27:34] Maybe it does make sense in a weird way because if it's our one the one is kind of like pillar and then the loop loop is kind of like a two. Oh, it does make sense. I am the dip switch. Holy shit. All right. Maybe maybe this is the best game ever made. You're having like a like a full on rain man moment.
[00:28:00] What if what but I I did not get very far. I did manage once I watched the how to play video. I was able to get through the first level, but I was kind of like this is a very odd game. And because I was playing on the mister. I don't really have a way to do the whole like insert your own CD and play it. At least I don't.
[00:28:26] Yeah, maybe I don't know who knows if there's a way, but I feel like it would be pretty funny if like you were playing that game. There's some like insane oh music just playing in the background. Um, cannibal corpse. That'd be so fucking cool. Cannibal corpse. Fuck the police. Fucking soul fly. Oh, yeah. I, uh, yeah, I don't know if I can say if this is a very good game, but it's a game.
[00:28:56] It's a game for sure. Nonetheless, and it's at least worth throwing on just to see just how weird like it is. Pretty fucking weird. So check it out. You know what? I was reading a little bit. Let's let's get a Wikipedia check. Hey, can let's check Wikipedia real fast. Um, so I was looking on Wikipedia read about this game. It was initially commissioned as an advertisement for the Mercedes Benz a class car.
[00:29:24] This game was, uh, but then after design issues surfaced with the car and the ad plan was dropped. They were just like, fuck it. Maybe ribbon was yeah. I don't know how. I don't know if maybe like, no, I don't know how the fuck that would work. Um, what does this car look like? It's just a fucking fan, bro. I don't know. It's just a van, a Mercedes van.
[00:29:51] Like, yeah, we're going to strike a real good deal with you. Five door hatchback. Fucking pardon me. Jesus Christ. I didn't realize it was a fucking party bus. The fifth door is for the cocaine. Cocaine entrance only. Dude, speaking of cocaine. And you get in and it's just like, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm. Just blasting vib ribbon.
[00:30:21] A blast cannibal corp. Can you imagine doing cocaine and listening to death metal? That'd be so cool. Cannibal ribbon. Cannibal ribbon. Yep. Cates. All those Cates. Cates. Cates. Cates. Uh, I see some, some other ones here on your list. One of them I have played. One of them I have not.
[00:30:46] Um, tell me about, uh, tell me about Domino's. Dude. Okay. There's a, hang on. There's a fucking, there's a cat sneezing in my room and I can't find it. Okay. Whatever. Leaving it in. I've never heard anybody say that before. Could you imagine just like calling the police and being like, so here's the situation. Okay. Uh, there's a cat in my house. It's sneezing.
[00:31:15] I don't know where it is. I cannot locate the sneezing cat. Wait. She's like, you can kind of, whoops, you can kind of see her, but she's like, maybe there she is. Okay. She just jumped down. That's, that's the sneezing cat. I gotta let this bitch out real fast. Otherwise she's gonna go crazy. Okay.
[00:31:44] Do you normally say, go on, get, like all the time. I don't know why. Every time I open the door, I'm like, go on, get, X, go and give it to you. Um, yeah. Yeah. Domino's. Yeah. Yeah. The pizza. Um, so no one can stop Mr. Domino. It's weird, but it's fucking cool. So basically there, there's like six different stages. It's kind of also, it is an endless runner actually.
[00:32:11] So there's this track that Mr. Domino follows along. He continually runs along this track and, um, there's little switches that you can, you can activate to do certain things. It's like a auto runner meets a puzzler. Cause as you're running along, you can hit, I forget which button it is, but you'll, you'll poop out little dominoes. And you'll poop out a little trail of dominoes. I'm sorry. No, he won't, he won't like, you won't see him, you know, scrunching down and just
[00:32:40] Oh my God. You won't see him yucking out a fatty or anything like that. He just, you'll see dominoes dropping out behind him as he runs along. Um, but basically you want to drop dominoes near like a switch. Cause that's how you trigger the switches is dominoes falling onto the switch. Um, and if you, so you make a trail to this switch and then we trigger the switch. It triggers this action. It's like a Rube Goldberg machine kind of thing. We're like, you hit a switch.
[00:33:10] It makes this like ball fall down this little track or whatever we'll say. Oh my God. Does it do that? Like that? No. Missed opportunity. But yeah. So your dominoes will hit a trigger that triggers this other action that happens. And that could basically you're setting up all these different like chains of events. And like the, the more you chain together, the more points you get and like the less time
[00:33:40] you have to spend in the level going around. Um, probably the best way to figure this all out actually is a super pod saga zone. Tommy, he, I had him play this for like 15 minutes. He fucking freaked out, but he eventually liked it. Yeah. We just talked about this on super pod. Yeah, man. It's, it's, it's such a fucking funny videos. Tommy's always just like, ah, fat Tony's casino. Everyone. We're just the first level. Back here.
[00:34:10] It's a fun game actually though. Like I, I can't, I don't think I'm explaining it very well, but it's, it's fun. Once you actually get into it, man. Hell yeah. That's what we need. Oh, and the soundtrack is dope as shit too. Like for the first level, fat Tony's casino. Holy shit. Does it pop? Really? I'll have to check it out. Do do do do do do. Yeah. Hell yeah. Um, Christ alive.
[00:34:40] Um, so I, um, I'm going to be a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a I've always heard about this game. LSD, the dream emulator. Have you ever heard about this? Yeah, I've, it's I don't think I've ever actually seen someone play it though. It is the definition of weird. I would almost say this takes the cake of being the weirdest game on PS one. It is. I could see that.
[00:35:10] It's a walking simulator before those were even like a thing. And it is out to lunch, man. Like you're just walking around and like you'll walk up to like a structure and then it was like warp you to a different map. Like you'll just be like walk up to a tree and then it was like fade out. Then you'll be in like a completely new area. And there's like doesn't tell you what you're supposed to do. But then like there's days.
[00:35:39] There's like a day counter. So like at the end of the day, you like wake up, I guess, because like it stops goes back to like the main menu where you can like save and stuff. Like there's a save function in this game. And like I don't but like you don't really do anything. And then there's like there's this weird chart that like tells you, I don't know, like like your location in the dreamscape or something like it's like a picture like a grid.
[00:36:07] Dude, I don't have a clue what is happening in this game. But like sounds cool. I don't know. Like it's it's but you know what's weird. I feel uneasy while I'm playing this game. Like it feels weird. Like again, the definition of a weird ass game and it makes me feel uncomfortable in a way I have not before.
[00:36:34] And I don't know if there's going to be something in the game. Like at one point I like walked up to a pyramid warped. Then I was like by a riverside with some like like some ancient Japanese looking like structures. And I was walking and then I just slowly faded out as I was just walking. Then I was in like and also the initial area. The frames are like it's a slideshow. It's a fucking Microsoft PowerPoint.
[00:37:01] And like at one point I warped to like a very green lush looking area and it was like super fast. Like it was like playing at like 120 frames per second. Like it didn't even make sense. I was like what the fuck. It wasn't actually 120 frames per second, but like it just all of a sudden was like, oh, this is got full frames now. And like I'm running around. No idea what I'm doing. There's a giant fish just like up in the fucking sky. Yeah, it's the weirdest shit I've ever seen. And I have no idea what you're supposed to do in it.
[00:37:31] I don't know. I don't think I can even recommend anybody to throw this on other than to maybe just like watch some videos or something of it because it is like the weirdest shit I've ever experienced. Like another one we should stream. I don't know, man. Like I feel like you would have to get inebriated in order to enjoy this game.
[00:37:55] Like you would have to fucking bust out a fat, fat fucking joint and just be like Tony. Yeah. Fat fucking Tony and just be like, it's time to play some LSD. And then you just sit down and you just fucking you just walk around in this shit and be like, look at that fish. That fish is cool, man. Or something. I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't I wouldn't even waste my time on it.
[00:38:18] But I feel like it needs to be talked about here because like as far as weird games go is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. I'm a while you were talking. I was looking at screenshots and yeah, there's this really weird shit like the landscapes don't always look like a typical landscape. There's one where it's just like it looks like static from a TV like when you switch to the wrong channel. Yeah, it's weird, dude.
[00:38:43] There's a character in the game called dying woman who is just like a skeleton in a bed. See, this is what I mean. Like the game is fucking like weird, but also in a weird like hauntingly uneasy feeling kind of way. Like I can't really explain it. If you want to feel bad, throw this game. That's my recommendation. If you're just having a bad day, want to make it worse. Throw on some LSD. The game. I wonder the drug.
[00:39:13] I wonder what the fastest speed run in the world is for that game. If there's even a way to speed run it. If it's not like all randomized or some shit. Man, I don't know. I don't know why anybody would pride themselves in such a thing. That's true. Hey, so LSD, right? That's a hell of a drug. Yeah, yeah. Bomberman. Just like Bomberman Wars. Who? I love Bomberman. I love Bomberman. Who the fuck? I love Bomberman too. I love Bomberman. I love Bomberman. I want to kiss him.
[00:39:41] Yeah, we'll do Bomberman ASMR. So, who the fuck was like, hey, so Bomberman, right? What if it was a tactics game? And they were like, yeah. That's some crazy shit. But it's actually not bad. It's pretty cool. I mean, it's also on Saturn, but I think it's only the PS1 version that has the English translation, English fans translation. But yeah, it's pretty cool.
[00:40:11] There's different classes for characters. The visuals look really cool. The spell animations are pretty cool. It's just I never in my wildest dreams would I have ever expected a Bomberman strategy RPG, but it exists. Also, there's a Bomberman racing game called Bomberman fantasy race. That's a cool game. They run the backs of Joey's or whatever they're called. That's kind of cool.
[00:40:37] Bomberman card is also a very weird game because it's like it's like top down Bomberman. You're like walking around the town and shit first and you got to like do little quests and stuff to like unlock like the like different races. It's it's a cool game, but it's funny because I looked up Bomberman Wars because I'm like, oh, Bomberman tactics. That might be pretty fun. I wonder how long it is to beat. So I go to how long to beat Bomberman Wars. It's not even logged because it has an extreme retirement rate.
[00:41:07] People just like quitting this game. It could be because it might have been because like before it was translated because I don't know if this has been translated for very long. So it could have been people being like Bomberman Wars and throwing it on me like, oh, I don't know Japanese. I think it it was like 2016. I'm fairly certain is when it got translated was 2016. Yeah, it's worth checking out, man.
[00:41:36] The visuals are really fucking cool, too. Like there's some areas where you're underwater. Some areas areas, some areas, some areas where you're on a some areas where you're on a pirate ship. Yeah, I need to I need to play through this. It looks fun. Yeah, man. Looks real good. My last. What? What were you gonna say? I'm just I'm just I'm being your hype man. Yeah. My last one.
[00:42:04] Is absolutely out of control. Screaming Mad George's Paranormous Escape. This game doesn't make a lick of fucking sense, but it is a way escape. It is metal as fuck. And dude, it's like I have it's so it's let me let me break this down for you.
[00:42:29] It's a first person pinball game and it's in like this really insane like hellscape. Like because I guess like screaming Mad George, I'd have to like look him up again. He like. Whoa, he's like. Yeah, he's like some like special effects or something.
[00:42:55] Yeah, special effects artist, film director and former musician emigrated to the United States where he's become known for his surreal gory special effects. He worked on Nightmare on Elm Street for actually worked on Beyond the Reanimator. And yeah, he's he's got some good special effects. I can tell you that.
[00:43:18] And this game like please listeners go look this game up and just see how fucked it looks. And yeah, I've I've never heard of anything like this before. Like you're it's in first person and you're like you can move forward on like a I don't know like a track almost. And you can move back and forward.
[00:43:42] And you're like using like these skeletons as like the pinball like flaps and you're shooting like this fireball. And it'll be like it'll give you like a mission objective of like kill that monster and be like and then like as soon as you turn it on, it's just like most insane like industrial music playing. Holy fuck, dude. Yeah. This is for sure one of the weirdest things I've come across.
[00:44:06] Never heard about it until I was, you know, just kind of like looking up like obscure PS1 games and stuff. And yeah, this stuck out like a sore thumb as something that's like, oh, this has to go in the in the weird category because it is weird. But let me tell you, it is a cool game. It's definitely something you should throw on an experience at least once because it's it's absolutely wild. Yeah, this is pretty fucking freaky.
[00:44:35] Like the the the person themselves screaming mad George. He also looks or or they look pretty fucking freaky to holy shit. This is a pretty insane. Whoa. What? There's a second alien crush game. That's cool. I mean, it may as well be alien crush in like first person because like it's it kind of you know what it kind of reminds me of that because you know,
[00:45:02] like alien crush has almost like that like Geiger looking feel to it. So does this but like in this guy's style like it's like just gore and nonsense like that's it. It's yeah, it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Please check it out. Please check it out. Yeah, please please please please please please. Yeah, that's a that's a that's a short list of some weird games for the PS one that we we feel you should check out.
[00:45:34] And you know, I'm sure there's a lot more that will come up at some point. We'll probably do an another another list of these because you know 4,000 games. Come on. There's some weird shit. There's gonna be some weird shit. Yeah, there's gonna be some weird shit. But why don't we take a quick commercial break?

This is the part of the show where we leave you all with a little parting gift, uh, much like Oprah with, uh, with a car under your chair, complimentary coffee and Oreos. Look under your chair.
[00:50:02] It's... RANDOM RECOMMENDATED GAMES! Alright. So, random recommended games. Here we are. I would like to tell you. We are, we are. We are the youth of the nation. Um, shout out to P.O.D. for making a comeback somehow. Oh, wait, can we get a check on where P.O.D. is now?

He was born a year after me. Good for him. Good stuff. Yeah, I could be him. Forward slash, uh, Petrie Patchett. Um, but yeah. Random recommended games.
[00:51:27] Today, I think I would like to bring to everyone's attention, uh, kind of a weird game that falls in with the rest of the stuff that we were talking about today. It's another PS1 game. It's not totally weird though. And it's not like really like a hidden gem or anything, but wild nine dude is a really fun platformer. It's like an action platformer. It's by Interplay. Same people that made, I think it's by the same people that made Earthworm Jim.
[00:51:57] I'm not a hundred percent sure though. Maybe should have looked this up before I recommend it. Well, I mean, I can recommend this all day long because it's just a good, I mean, it's a good ass game. Um, sorry, it is by Shiny Entertainment, uh, and it's published by Interplay. So it's just kind of like the same publisher or whatever.
[00:52:18] Um, but the cool thing about this game is that you, you have like a, like a shock gun that projects like this electricity beam. And what it does is it latches onto enemies and you kind of have to like swing the like controller back and like not the physical controller back and forth, but on the D pad or on the analog, you have to move it back and forth. And you need to beat the shit out of the, like the enemies.
[00:52:45] And the weird thing is you can like school, kill them in really weird ways. And on the cover of this game, it says, torture your enemies because you actually can like, you could torture all the enemies. And it's just, it's just a, a weird, fun platformer game. It does have a little bit of a difficulty spike, like toward the middle of the game. Um, but I, I, I highly recommend people to check this out because it is, it is actually really cool.
[00:53:14] Oh, and fun fact, Tommy Tellarico did the soundtrack to this. Gross. Gross. I mean, I guess that could be cool. Hey, sorry, Tommy. I bet he's real cool. All Tommies are cool. Just like, uh, I was hoping there'd be a Tommy in a POD, but there's not. It's a, sorry. It's, it's Tra Daniels. His name is T-R-A-A. Uh, Wav Bernardo, Marcos Curiel, and Sonny Sandoval.
[00:53:43] Um, POD, everybody. Oh my God. Yup. All right, Aaron, what do you got for me? What I have for you is Azure Dreams or Azure. I don't know how you're supposed to say it. Azure. I think you did that right, but I have always called it Azure. As, as your dreams. Yep. As your dreams turn into nightmares.
[00:54:14] They always do. Hey, this is Canada. So. So this is the US of a baby. Um, yeah. Azure dreams. It's. Oh, I guess it's, it's an RPG. It's weird. So it's like, it's a little bit of like a almost Pokemon kind of thing. Almost a roguelike. And then mostly an RPG. Basically you, um, you play a character going through this tower of monsters is what's, is what it's called.
[00:54:44] And, uh, basically you, you run around a dungeon floor, find an elevator or whatever, go up a floor and you keep doing that until you get to like a boss. Um, and all along the way you're collecting, um, new equipment. It's kind of almost like a mystery dungeon game. But, uh, I'll, I'll get to that more in a little bit. But yeah, you, so you go beat up monsters. You get better equipment, which better equipment helps you in, in later floors and shit. Um, you can also find monster eggs.
[00:55:14] So, uh, cause you can bring, I think they're called familiars. That's what the monsters are called. You can bring a familiar in with you, level it up. Um, it can evolve and learn new attacks and shit. And, uh, all like, and when you're not in the dungeon, there's this hub town that you can upgrade so you can get new, you, you can train. Yeah, you can train your familiars. Um, so they're more powerful before you go into a dungeon.
[00:55:41] Um, you can buy new items and armor and there's all sorts of other shit. You can, there's like dating sim elements to it as well too. There's a, there's a, there's a casino in it as well too. That's pretty cool. Uh, dude, it's, there's a lot to it. There's also a Game Boy Color version, which, um, I mean, they, I think the big draw to that obviously is that it's, it's eight bit and they cut out like the, the dating sim, like the, the hub town upgrading shit. It's just purely a dungeon crawler.
[00:56:12] So if you want more dungeon crawler, Game Boy Color version isn't too bad, but if you want the full fucking package, you want the whole hog in there. The PS one version. It's, it's pretty cool. Pretty fun game. Hell yeah. That's a Konami game. Hell yeah. Konami fucking bring it back, bro. Interesting. Remake it. Reboot it. Give it to us boot. DOS reboot. Um, main story, 25 hours. It's manageable. It's manageable for an RPG.
[00:56:42] Um, completionist jumps up quite a bit to 47 and a half hours. So there must be a ton of shit that you can do in this game. Yeah. And it's, it, it is kind of a roguelike because, because like I said, if you die, you start it all over unless you get to like a certain point, um, cause there's checkpoints and shit as you go through the tower. But, uh, you know, if you, if you die, you're reset at a checkpoint, which I guess isn't really a roguelike. Other games did that, like Sonic and shit. So forget the fucking roguelike shit.
[00:57:11] That's kind of interesting though, for this type of game. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds, it sounds pretty good, man. It's a good wreck. Very good wreck. Yeah, man. Well, you know what? We're going to keep this episode nice and tight. Um, you know, we don't, we don't always have to have to have these long banging episodes when we have these extremely talented individuals on our shows and we just want to pick their brains all night long. Sometimes it's got to be short and sweet, you know? Let me pick that brain, baby.
[00:57:40] Yeah, pick my brain. Pickle my brain, if you will. Pickle my, ooh, okay. Pickle me, Elmo. Now you're talking my, my shade of Spanish. Okay. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Well, Aaron, take us out of here. Sorry. Uh, holy shit. Go ahead. Thank you all. Thanks everyone for listening and getting in some R&R with us today.
[00:58:08] In the meantime, well, I guess also go follow us on everything, man. Go give us a, go leave a rating on Spotify so people find us. Go give us a review on Apple. Just go to superpodnetwork.com. Leave a review there. Follow us. Listen to the show there. Read some blogs. Uh, but yeah. In the meantime. Check out our YouTube. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Where you'll be able to look at these ugly mugs and occasionally better looking mugs when we have guests on.
[00:58:36] Like Thrak and Bill, two handsome fellas who went on double date. I don't know why I pointed to my mouth. I was going to do this, but. Point to your mouth when you talk about Thrak and Bill. Yeah. Yeah. We went on a double date. Double date in my mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Double date. We talked about the Nintendo Switch direct. It's up on our YouTube channel now. Um, pretty cool. But, uh, yeah, man, for now we're going to, we're going to move on, move on to better, greener pastures. Jerry needs to seek legal counsel for his size, his hot toiling divorce from Toadette, that money hungry bitch.
[00:59:06] Yeah. She's really taking me to the cleaners. Uh, and Aaron has to go get a new tablecloth so that he can cover up the fucking femboy grudge kid that's living under his table. He just, he just needs a place to stay, man. I promise. He's only staying for one month. I promise. I'm from the grudge. Meh. Could you imagine if the grudge, the femboy grudge kid had Betty's voice? He's like, I need a place to stay and some, some food. Meh.
[00:59:36] All right. I guess that's it. I guess we'll see you on the next one. Show's canceled. Bye. See you never.
