    176 likes, so I’m gonna post a massive gold mine for you guys. I’ve found a few great videos with Ahoy in it that pretty much *nobody* knows about. 2 are interviews, 2 are long lost weapon guides that had to be taken down from Ahoy’s channel and the other is a video someone made about him. However, the 3rd video listed here has a picture of Stu and is technically the first ever face reveal of Ahoy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oH6YrLdwlbjRfto.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/anZ5m5OvYKvPZ7A.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYl2yqaYmavPnJc.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXZ62LqYot29hpM.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6h6ya2oobTbmqg.html Being subscribed for 8 yesrs since the M16A4 MW2 Weapon Guide has given me some knowledge about this guy!

    Pity that you missed "Nemesis the Warlock" on the C-64. It was the most gut-wrenching chicken-o-meter at that point - or, indeed, any point: your life energy was represented by an anatomically correct heart held in an open hand. As you took hits, the hand would progressively close around that heart (making your blood drip) and when it reached the end, the game re-played the stages of the animation back and forth several times in a fluent movement with matching sound effect. I have never had my lifeblood squeezed out of me in a similarly cruel fashion. Come to think of it, none of the examples listed here come close. You should definitely check this game out. 😀

    Yeah, Primal Rage had chicken-o-meters next to the standard fighting game health bars in the form of a beating heart. As you took damage, your heart would beat faster until you were defeated, at which point it would explode in a bloody mess.

    I always appreciated Spyro the Dragon having your health be represented by Sparx rather than just a health bar. It's both a cool visual, keeps the screen free of hud clutter, and also makes Sparx feel a bit more like a part of your adventure rather than just a generic buddy character.

    Cavey Manta As someone who’s been subscribed to his channel for 8 years (my first ever video I watched of XboxAhoy was the M16A4 weapon guide), I’ve found a few great videos with him in it that pretty much *nobody* knows about. 2 are interviews, 2 are long lost weapon guides that had to be taken down from Ahoy’s channel and the other is a video someone made about him. However, the 3rd video listed here has a picture of Stu and is technically the first ever face reveal of Ahoy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oH6YrLdwlbjRfto.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/anZ5m5OvYKvPZ7A.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYl2yqaYmavPnJc.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXZ62LqYot29hpM.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6h6ya2oobTbmqg.html

    Well, I hope so too. But we've gotta be realist here: unless they pull out some miracolous stunt, it's not going to come back. the BR formula works *too* good for them to leave the comfort zone, they're making money with microtransactions and loot crates out of a free to play game. Pretty much like Valve did with TF2. They'll be simply going to milk it as long as they can.

    Only now noticed this video. I'm a big fan of these type of health indicators and I've been ripping many of them in GIF format for my personal amusement. :) I personally call these skeletonization health bars, but I like the sound of Chicken-o-Meter and I understand where that name came from. Anyway, this video had 8 games that I was missing GIF animations from, so thanks for bringing these games to my attention. :) Here's some more chicken-o-meter examples that weren't featured on this video: Nemesis the Warlock (1987, Martech Games) Fright Night (1988, MicroDeal) Batman: Caped Crusader (1988+, Ocean Software) Rambo III (1988+, Ocean Software) Dragon Scape (1989, Wicked Software & Software Horizons) Storm Warrior (1989, Elite Systems) Gladiators (1989, Smash 16) MOT (1989, Opera Soft) Soviet (1990, Opera Soft) The Amazing Spider-Man (1990, Paragon Software) B.S.S Jane Seymour (1990, Gremin Graphics) / Spacewrecked (1991, Gremlin Graphics) James Pond series (1990+) Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991, Ocean Software) Deliverance (1992+, 21st Century Entertainment) Veil of Darkness (1993+, Strategic Simulations & Ving) Nitemare 3-D (1994, Gray Design Associates) Warlock (1994, Trimark Interactive, Acclaim, LJN) Tower of Souls (1995, Black Legend Software) Millennium Soldier: Expendable (1999+, Infogrames) Tweety and the Magic Gems (2001, Kotobuki System) RoboCop (2002, Titus, GBA prototype)
