@@nutsandgum7704 Actually Warner Bros asked Burton to step down as director because Batman Returns had gotten a lot of backlash for being “too dark” for younger audiences, which led to McDonalds cancelling their Happy Meal tie-in as well as losing other lucrative promotional and merchandising deals. Also Burton’s only real involvement was giving Schumacher the green light to take over, there was a clause in his contract saying if he didn’t return as director for any reason he’d still get final approval on his replacement. His contract also guaranteed him a producer credit, but didn’t require him to actually do anything (he was busy making Ed Wood at the time anyway). It was Michael Keaton who opted out because he didn’t like where the franchise was going. Originally Schumacher wanted to adapt Batman: Year One and Keaton was on board, but the studio nixed the idea of a prequel and Keaton didn’t like the studio-mandated rewrites.

But the game was made several years earlier. When I read the book, there was nothing new in it for me, because I already knew all of it from the game. And the game was better.

If you believe the info here has any truth, you're a sucker. None of these are even close to the 10 worst games of 1995. They have a lazy methodology that doesn't account for the fact that the reviews aren't there before everyone reviewed on the internet. If games ended up on game rankings (which is where the numbers exactly match), it's usually because they were notable enough to be talked about by people later. How were games reviewed "professionally" in 1995? Almost entirely in Magazines, and these rankings don't have magazines. They're even not even correct about their own review count. The review scores match Gamerankings archives, but not the "7 professional reviews" count. Phantasmagoria has 6 reviews and only one of the reviews listed from 1995. 3 are from the 2000s. Multiple of these appear to be blogs. Doom has 4. I think 3 is the actual "standard" but they missed games with 5 "Ecco Jr." So if you're surprised, you don't realize they aren't trying.

1995 is the year I was brought into this world without permission. Thankfully, Batman Forever legitimately was the spotlight of the year since it was great, and I still love it to this day.

Wow when the video started I immediately thought of phantasmagoria and couldn’t believe you included it on your list! That is so funny I also played the seventh guest and the 11th hour… I’m a sucker for those kind of games even when I was only 14 years old

To be fair, if Maximum Carnage and Separation Anxiety had been made today, Separation Anxiety would have just been a DLC for Maximum Carnage.

i had _frankenstein through the eyes of the monster_ as a kid! i was about 9 at the time and my dad was a huge _myst_ fan (as many of our dads were at that age) so he bought a few similar games, including _7th guest,_ but also _secrets of the luxor_ and _gadget: invention, travel, and adventure._ i never got far in any of them, but had fun exploring the parts of the world i could and clicking madly on things. tim curry was the highlight though, hands down. (wish they'd bring these games to steam, especially gadget)

i really liked the frankenstein game as a kid. i thought it had a great atmosphere. but my english wasnt that good at the time, so i didnt really finnish it, because i couldnt read every clue to the puzzles properly... i dont know if there was a version translated into german, but i had one in english...

Not sure how I landed here. I have so many tabs open! The Almighty Algorithm must have brought me here while I was sleeping. Anyhoo - this is a great video thank you! I'm on a game buying hiatus at the moment because these days, for every game I play, I have bought two more that I want to play through, and I was saying recently how spoilt we are now. In a way, I miss the old days when there was so much crap to wade through, and you didn't have KZread so that you could see what a game was actually like, which meant you had to be very careful where you spent your money. It was a pain at the time, but I realise now that it heightened the experience, and when you came across that special gem of a game, it was just so satisfying back then...

DOOM on SNES is kinda a marvel that it worked at all... but I can understand reviewers at the time not adjusting their scores for the hardware, and it certainly wasn't as good as OG DOOM. Secret of the Stars is also probably the only SNES RPG I haven't played yet (excluding imports).

I believe that 'Homncruse' is a bad transliteration of 'Homunculus'. That's how Wild ARMs got 'Holmcross' too.

I was 14 in 1995 and I never owned a CDI or a computer but some of those games I saw advertised in video game magazines back then and they looked amazing. I never even to this day got to play them like the 7th guest or the 11th hour or any other computer /CDI games. The only one that I ever really dig get to play later on was the very first Myst and even though at the time it looked amazing, I'm absolutely terrible at solving puzzles and a whole entire game of nothing but puzzles turned me off lol. I always wanted a 3DO as well and I never got to play that. When it first came out it looked revolutionary obviously it wasn't but hell even now I would still love to have one but it's just too pricey and it's just not worth it honestly.

1995 also gave the world me, for which 1995 owes us all a sincere apology.

Hey, all

1995 is full of insane games though. You should try Bioforge and Virtua Cop.

Secret of the stars... With so many translation problems, I'm gonna assume (because I want to) that instead of Homncruse being the villain, the "Aquatallion" or whatever was really out to defeat the evil wizard "Tom Cruise" I'm sure that he is so high up in the Scientologists that he is practically a wizard (he's gotta be ranking at least a 700 in his "Thetan" levels) The plot totally makes sense insofar as ANYTHING related to scientology makes sense. Maybe John Travolta could explain it better than me. Or Isaac Hayes. Or the musician Beck. I enjoy Beck's music (most of it). It was truly a sad day when I learned he was in that cult. What was I originally talking about? Too many rabbit holes around the cr*ppy-verse. I think I broke my ankle. Oh God, "Venom\spiderman: attack of the colons" was the most repetitive brawler I ever played in my life.

I found Phantasmagoria also very pretty and I liked it but the story is quite bad. We don't get to see the characters move in the house. It just shows a nightmare then a couple drinking coffee. The puzzles where nothing to be happy about either. The gameplay was too simple. There is no plot twist. It's just about a demon and the magician tells you how to kill the demon. It's an interactive 50's movie in 90's clothing.

Frankenstien IS the name of the doctor, the monster is called Adam

1995 was the year Team17 published the first Worms game, so there was at least one diamond in the rough back then.
