Brain Dead 13 (PS1) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
Ойындар
A playthrough of Readysoft's 1996 animated interactive movie for the Sony PlayStation, Brain Dead 13.
Brain Dead 13 is a pretty fantastic 90s homage to the 80s Laserdisc classics like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. It might not be the work of Don Bluth and co., but it's an impressive effort nonetheless. It's colorful, extremely well animated, loaded with hilarious and violent humor, and it easily exceeds the standard Saturday morning cartoon in its production values.
It's also the sort of game that just screams, "It's Halloween, play me!"
The game was released on several platforms, but the PlayStation version was the only version to ship on two discs instead of one. While doing this imposes some rather annoying and frequent disc swap screens, the PS1 game features better quality video with fewer visible compression artifacts than the other versions, in addition to dramatically improved sound quality. The voices are all crystal clear.
But when I say it's violent, I mean it's violent. As in, a Teen rating would have been pretty unlikely back in the day if the review board actually bothered to look at the content in the game. A true credit to those moral crusaders, though, this title received the K-A rating.
I didn't die in this playthrough. It's a clean, beginning to end run with no mistakes (which taxed my patience to no end since the gameplay is 100% trial-and-error), but if you'd like to see the all the ludicrously graphic ways in which Lance may lose his life, check out this compilation I put together: • Brain Dead 13: Fail Sc...

Let's give some major props to Lance. Dude can diagnose a computer problem like nobody's business, run fast enough to stay ahead of a murderous... goblin... thing... and do it for long enough that marathon runners would be begging for a break through all kinds of terrain, think quite literally on his feet and react fast enough to dodge innumerable death traps and monster attacks and keep his head together long enough to take down an evil genius. Dude's a legend.

No way, that’s so cool that you are related to some of the staff for this game! I’d do just about anything to be able to contact them and ask them some of my most burning questions about this game. I played it many years ago and it has always stuck out in my mind as one of the most unique and rememberable interactive experiences I’ve ever encountered. Take care good sir/madam/whatever you’d like to be called, and please tell your relatives that I (an internet stranger) think their game was awesome!

You ever have one of those games that you never played, but you vividly remember watching someone play? My friend's older brother had this game and I will never forget that opening sequence when the gremlin guy tries to rub his eyes with his hook hands, because that was the point where my friend's brother would have to restart every time he died.
I remember the first time I saw this game I was with my parents at a PC shop, when we bought Creature Shock. I remember it because of the great artwork and unique PC box. But even at a young age, me and my brother found the lack of gameplay footage on the box to be a warning sign.

I've definitely heard of this game...mainly through some compilations of the infamous death scenes.
Never played this but I remember seeing the ads for it in game mags.
So happy to fond a no death run on youtube, this games comfy to watch, but not so much to play (like I want to be the guy!)

i'm only 10 minutes in but honestly i fuck with this. never really expected to see 90s grossout humor combined with early video game light gore. i kinda love it. also goddamn the booba on vivi.

There were a couple of games that slipped through with a K&A rating when they should have been rated higher, but since E10+ didn't exist yet, they were just rated K&A since that was the closest thing. Earthbound definitely is quite heavy and is questionable for a K&A rated game, so when it was rereleased, it was given the a T rating which fits the game more. The extremely butchered localization of Persona 1 called "Relevations: Persona" slipped through with a K&A rating as well, despite having profanity and even a reference to voyeurism in a dialogue from a NPC. I know there's probably more games that slipped through, but those are the only two I know off hand.

Ty man, you too.
I remember watching this long time ago when I was kid. Now I’m 18 and the nostalgia hits hard.
Wow they went wayyy overboard in certain segments, and at least most versions of dragons lair gave you a vague indication of what to press. It certainly looks like a charming novelty, but this looks like it would quickly drive you to madness with repetition 😂.
i hate the Fact there's no way to indicate which button your supposed to press it's more on like solely Muscle Memory and memorizing which is the right button back then i was like randomly pressing any buttons hopefully i got the right choice
