Bill Lambeer was a huge name in the 80s NBA and was well known for his fighting. He was basically an enforcer and would legit swing on people. I think when they went to make the game, they couldn't get an NBAPA agreement so just kept the combat, added the future and there you go.

Love that you say Double Dragon V's graphics are "kinda cartoony"... its actually based off the Double Dragon cartoon series that was running at the time. Fun fact that I read somewhere... apparently stuff like Double Dragon V happened because Tradewest thought their deal with Technos Japan gave them more rights than they actually did, they thought they were allowed to use the Double Dragon characters in other games, which led to not only this but also the Battletoads crossover game... neither of which can be re-released now because in fact, no, Technos did NOT authorize those.

Bebe's Kids is based off of a 1992 animated film that was based off of the late comedian Robin Harris stand up routine about his girlfriend's terrible children. The stand up was hilarious... the movie was terrible. Oddly it came out 2 years after he passed away. Someone else played his part - I feel like they started it while he was alive and he passed away during filming so they hired someone else to redo/finish his lines.

Not gonna lie... I actually really like Mario is Missing. When I was a kid and my dad took me to rent games, I often would rent it. English is not my first language, however (Brazilian Portuguese is), and at the time I didn't know English. My dad would help me with some of the texts sometimes when I'd ask but that aside, I actually played it by myself and through trial and error on the choices, I'd manage to make progress and even beat the game a few times. That coupled with my dad helping me with some of the texts even helped me learn some English. When I understood what you are supposed to do in the game then it became much easier to play by myself. It also helped that I knew some history, so to figure out some of the "quests" was made much easier by that fact. Regardless, I always found enjoyment in Mario is Missing.

Agreed and well said! No doubt game would be perfect for non-English speakers to learn from... another great reason to play it. Seems most criticizing this game today don't understand its audience at all, nor do they care to grasp the point and/or intended flow of the game, so they wrongfully dismiss is as "bad". I posted a similar comment about my experience... I'll repost here: Most who commonly tear this game apart these days forget it was designed to be a young kid's game (in addition to being educational), like Carmen Sandiego but I'd argue for an even slightly younger audience. I was about 7 when I played it, and I enjoyed it immensely at the time. It was a lot of reading for me at that age, and that's what made it so satisfying when I used the information I read myself to get to the next city. The somewhat mindless exploration of each city and jumping on familiar koopa troopas was just enough 'action' to be the perfect balance for little me.

Exactly this. While this type of content is ultimately based on opinion at the end of the day, with those criticizing Mario is Missing it's often more a case of misunderstanding. It's designed to be a chiIdren's game where you're SUPPOSED to sit back and read a lot (both in learning about the world and reading maps), obtain information by jumping on the koopa troopas, then with basic reading comprehension you apply that knowledge and progress to the next area. I get that people expect a platformer and feel misled by the branding, but once you grasp what it's supposed to be it's not a bad game at all imo.

Ah yes. Bebe's Kids. So i was 14 in 1998 when we bought a SNES at discount with Killer Instinct as the paxk in game. Because by this time people were dumping their SNES and Genesis systems in favor of those fancy schmanzy PS1s, N64s, and Saturns, I was able to score classic SNES games for $10-$15 at the local flea markets. And one day after I got off a part time job I had working weekends at a flea market, I went to buy some games. I scored Super Mario All Stars and Zombies Ate My Neighbors. As I was leaving, I saw Bebe's Kids at the bottom of the pile for $1. And I realized why. I also found it boring, monotonous, with horriblegame mechanics, and after watching the cartoon that it was based off of, puzzled as to why these kids were the heroes.
Man, am I glad I found this channel! So good looking back at all the classics and not so classics.
I remember back in the day my Uncle renting, The Rocketeer and Lester the unlikely, Saw him play them 5 min each and then took them back lmao, Went and got Super Off-Road and NHLPA Hockey '93 instead, Good times.
The Rocketeer for the SNES was the worst and disappointing game I've ever played in my childhood.
Your mission is to go back to the early 90's and not let me rent any of these games from Pic-A-Flick thereby ruining my weekend.
So I looked up that Home Improvement game because the visual style looked very Euro-platformer to me, which seemed weird for a game based on an American sitcom. But I was wrong, turns out it was developed by former Activision founders Dan Kitchen and David Crane- yes, the creator of Pitfall and A Boy and His Blob was partly responsible for this! I couldn't believe it.

BeBe's Kids had a lot of humor that Greg probably wouldn't pick up on.
9:17 You talked about the music chugging because of the graphics. The SNES has a completely independent sound processor with its own internal CPU and memory. The main CPU can grind to a halt and the SPU will keep playing music. The CPU only tells the SPU which tracks and sound effects to play (i.e. something like "play track 4", "stop music", "play sound effect 2"). The chugging music is likely just bad composition for a bad game. I guess it could be maybe too many sound effects being played at once, but in that case, I believe the SPU would just start cutting off sound effects, rather than chugging because of too much action on screen.
Bebe's Kids was based off an animated movie, which I believe was based off a skit by a stand-up comedian. I actually rented Mario is Missing once. It came with a photocopied instruction manual. I could tell you a few things about how to play the game, but honestly, the game would be better if it were more compact. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego is an infinitely superior game to that one, and it's even in the same genre. Oh boy, Pit-Fighter. My older brother was a fan of that back in the arcades, so when he got the opportunity, he rented it on the SNES. And WOW was it a stinker! I was never a fan of the game, myself, but I saw him play both versions, and even I could see which one was better! And Rocketeer! I watched my brother play that game on the SNES, too, when he rented it! I never played it myself. Mainly because I watched my bro play it and I'm all, "nah, I'm good." My bro actually BEAT the game, btw; after the Bee Gee racing stages, you get to do MORE racing stages...as the Rocketeer. He's faster. Then the rest of the game is an uninspired platformer. BTW, considering you played Space Ace, you should check out Dragon's Lair on the SNES. It's also not good, but it's a bit better.
Just wondering if you look at the manuals for these games? I just Googled the American Gladiators manual and it's very specific about which controls to use for which event. I guess it still might be a lousy game, but surely check the instructions to give it half a chance.
Wow you never figured out you have to stomp koopas in Mario is Missing. Ouch... Might have helped if you at least had knock back instead of walking through them to show they are still enemies. I have Pit Fighter. I saw it on top of a pile in the dumpster one day. I think I paid too much, pulling it out and I still got better games that were in the same bag with it ;p
9:52 Not many people remember this (which is good) but there was a "Where's Waldo" cartoon on Saturday mornings for kids who didn't have cable and were stuck watching crap like the "Where's Waldo" cartoon. Memorable features included magic carpets, Middle Eastern caricatures, and points where the show ground to a halt so the kids at home could search for Waldo in still images. It didn't last long (which is good) but it did spawn this game.

This is a fun video, as I played nearly all of these myself back when you could still rent games from video stores. I don't feel like you gave American Gladiators a fair shake though, since while some of the controls are a bit cryptic, you could have looked them up online. My brother and and I figured it out back in the day, but we also played goofy shit like "World Games" for the nes. Trial and error before the days of the internet. I will say though that knowing how to control that game doesn't make it a hidden gem by any means, but it's worth a rental, especially growing up watching the show.
I own most of these games. And I can confirm that they suck.

I had Space Ace as a kid and I got exactly as far as you did - maybe less actually as I remember not being able to jump across to the platform despite it being an obvious jump. A complete waste of however much money my mum spent on it. I think that's a part of gaming during that era that many people forget: owning a game as a kid and it being so obtuse or difficult that it's only playable for a couple of minutes. Just a couple of other duffers I owned: Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES) - 2.5 fantastic levels (cos I'm counting the bonus stage) and that's all there is. I managed to beat the hoverbike stage when I played it via emulation using save states only to find that it's all downhill from there. Did Rare just give up during development? Bart and The Beanstalk (GB) - I reached the second level exactly once. I tried it recently as an adult and gave up very quickly. Slow, precise gameplay with a very short area of visibility. A tedious, dull and frustrating game. Nice box art though (I guess that's part of why I chose it - doh!).

@@GregsGameRoom The first 2 levels are good - frankly they're some of the best beat-em-up action ever made - and the bonus stage has some welcome World of Illusion vibes, but the rest of the game (which is only 3 levels and a final boss, if I'm remembering correctly) is just a memory test of one-hit kills. Like I say, it's like Rare ran out of time or deliberately sabotaged their own game or something, it's so bizarre. Even when playing with save states, I couldn't beat it. I got stuck on the track level where you're being chased. No idea what I was doing wrong, although I'm sure the internet at the time said that just the small amount of lag created by emulation made that level next to impossible. I don't claim to know how true that is - and it was so long ago - but it certainly felt impossible at the time. Such a waste of an otherwise great beat-em-up.

Mario Is Missing gets so much hate, and it's easy to see why as we all thought it was the next "Mario" game back in 93. It's a good edutainment title, but the fact that it seems deceitful is why it gets hate. The best thing about it is the soundtrack. The Mario Is Missing soundtrack is FANTASTIC! Give it a listen!

Ooof! So many... not so good memories. Where do I begin? Well, I remember renting American Gladiators back in the day, both the NES and SNES versions, and thank you for saying the NES version was better; the arcade style of it, like The Wall being gigantic and maze-like was way more tense than the SNES version. Also, the NES version of Assault has no breaks in the action as you dash towards the gun and try to fire at a MOVING TARGET that you must hit THREE TIMES instead of a stationary one you must hit once with a clunky aiming meter. As for the SNES version of The Wall, IIRC, you climb by mashing L and R, same thing for The Eliminator. For Human Cannonball, IIRC, the power meter, (the one of the left), must be at 75% and aim of course at 50%, you also need to tuck your legs before hitting the gladiator. (That was a rule in the actual show that was added in the second season after gladiators kept getting hurt from taking basically 30 MPH dropkicks!) Batman Forever... Yeah, it sucks forever! Bébé's Kids: This was based on an animated film which itself was based on a stand-up routine performed by the late Robin Harris. The routine basically involved Harris getting badgered into babysitting the children of a lady named Bébé who'd always end up annoying Harris. The kids' catchphrase was "We don't die, we _multiply!"_ The movie basically built on the routine into a proper film story. Sadly, Robin Harris died during the movie's production, so Faizon Love would end up voicing him in animation, though Harris still appears in live action at the beginning. Double Dragon V... Can you tell Technos Japan was in dire straights at the time? For one, they had no involvement in the game at all! As you already mentioned, it was Tradewest who had the license to the IP and were basically given free reign to have Leland Interactive Media make this mess. At least they made better games in the past like Ivan "Ironman" Sturat's Super Off Road and Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat, play those instead! Paperboy 2. Me and my cousin used to play that one a lot. Why it wasn't as good as the original, I don't know. At least it allows two players to duel in the obstacle course. The Genesis version is better, it more resembles the arcade version of the original game, and it even gives you a bunnyhop to let you jump back onto the sidewalk instead of having to use a driveway! Race Drivin'! The Game Boy version is much better. No, really! That version was developed by Argonaut, same people who made Star Fox. Nuff said! Revolution X: Why they tried porting that to SNES? And why no Super Scope or Justifier support? I'm sure the PS1 version is better. Space Ace... "Hmm hmm"? Hmm hmm... *HMM HMM!?* The Wizard of Oz... That game almost makes me wish the movie was never made, but the movie is a deserved classic so... Yeah, who thought the game was a good idea? Worst part, when Dorthy meets a new character, they only get ONE LIFE! And if they die, they're out of the game for good and you can't win even though it's not game over!
Revolution X is such a shame. There are *no* good ports of the game, not even the Saturn or PlayStation versions which you'd *think* would be arcade-perfect due to the hardware.

My mom always wanted me to play it though because I guess it was expensive and I would just get so pissed off because I could've been playing DKC or Mario or hell any other game I had that was better.
Also, re: futuristic sports games, the Mutant League Football games were fun.
Space Ace does suck. Lester was innovative suck. I don't like any of the POP type games of that time either.

Can’t imagine wanting to play Lester…
Hmmm. I actually grew up with and liked a lot of these games! Bill laimbeer was fun with a second person! I played gladiators and itvwas fineI i wanna say to run you had to alternate tapping a and b to make the guy move I owned ballz and i remember you could morph your character with random button inputs Mario is missing you had to jump on the koopas head to reveal a lost artifact and return it to the proper closed booth! Very simple! dont know how old you are but you gotta remember their was a time before internet and online! Good ol blockbuster! The exciting part was renting these games and figuring out how to play and beat the game! No fancy strategy guide or internet forum to help. Git good or suck was what it was! Kids used to invite other kids to their houses and play games and figure out what to do. That was the best part of these games I think this new generation of gamers dont have enough patience to play these games! Most of the games on here whether fun or not were complete games that could be beaten and not broken like a lot of new games today! So im guessing your under 30 yrs of age?!! Do you remember life before smartphones and the internet? Well i hope ppl watching this will give some of these games a shot! They were fine for the time! But you gotta understand these games came out at different time when it was no hand holding and ppl crying about games being too hard! Is what it is! Lot of these games have fond memories for me!
In regards to Lester (considering this was produced almost a decade ago) - kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaaomceLfc6Yirw.html

It could have been good with some tweaks. I guess it’s the SNES equivalent to Greendog!
I had Batman forever for the snes as a kid. I remember picking it up now and again, trying to do something with it, but could not figure it out. Back then I assumed I was the one broken and not the game. I thought I wasn’t good enough as every game must be a good game. Years later I figured out it was the game and not me. In short, this game gave me EMOTIONAL TRAUMA! It’s a bad game :p
wasn't there A Where's Waldo cartoon?
The only version of Paperboy 2 that's actually worth playing is the Sega Genesis version, because that one was made by a different developer who knew what they were doing. Almost every other version was made by Mindscape, and they suck.
Good futuristic sports games of the 80s and 90s BaseWars NES, MegaMan Soccer thought the ending is glitched and Mutant League on Genesis they had Football and Hockey. I'd love to see a Mutant Hockey League like the spiritual successor Mutant Football League on Switch.
Rock and roll racing is technically a snes futuristic sports game I would defend.
Paperboy 2 was so addictive. I won't sit here and accept this slander lol
Double Dragon V was because of fans who wanted a 1 v 1 fighter
I asked for Mortal Kombat 3 for my birthday in October 1995 and I got Ballz instead….
Ballz 3D actually isn't as bad as it seems once you do figure out the controls. It's not a good game by any account though.
Very nice video ❤
This video is amazing if you like watching someone who sucks at gaming complain about games he hasn't played.
Balls 3D was just a joke don't understand why they made this😂
I kinda enjoy Paperboy 2 as a short time waster.

I could find other more enjoyable ways to waste time…
Surprised Blues Brothers didn't make the cut.
I honestly thought there’d be one game here that I actually played and liked, but nope, they were all pure suck
It was absolutely brutal but I fricken loved American Gladiators 😂
I knew Race Driving would be on this list. Easily the worst game I’ve ever played.
The game gear columns is with out a doubt my favorite version!
American Gladiators is sweet. Just seems like you couldn't figure out what to do. I recommend looking up the controls and replaying it.

I suggest you don't. No point on getting good on a shitty game.😂@@GregsGameRoom
Important note: If anyone gets any of these games, please send them to recycling for disposal. Thank you for your attention 😂🤣😂
Gladiator the final showdown you keep tapping X or something I believe
I had a lot of fun with a handful of these games
23:26 take that back!! As a kid this game ruled
