Old Games: The Old Games Show: 01/27/2016

@discoman: Doesn't surprise me that much considering all the stuff Snatcher lifts from films and other media.

Also wanted to mention how good the voice acting is in Snatcher. So many games from the early 90s had awful sounding voices but Snatcher somehow managed to get some great performances out of a group of unknown actors. If you want an example of how bad it could have been take a listen to this song from the PC-88 soundtrack CD that added in some English voices in the background of the track.

"You scummy human!"

"You still look too healthy. Now you die."

This was so freakin cool! More! More!

@lentfilms: Yep! Especially around 14:30. Pretty distinctly sounding like Pleasure of Tension.

Need to watch Thief again; sitting here listening to the entire soundtrack makes me want to dig into some 80s grit

I would love to see you guys playing the rest of this game. Would be nice to see what Kojima did back then and it's not the kind of game I would play by myself. Hell, I don't even own the consoles to play it anymore.

I cannot put my finger on where I've heard the music starting at 1:12:22. It's driving me crazy.

This soundtracks rips!

"I have to go punch a wall for a while" LOL

That was fun. I never knew what Snatcher was about or how it played.

what a time to be alive, first Ranking of Fighters and now the return of The old Game Show.

the voice of Jamie sounds exactly like one of the female characters from Robotech

This was fantastic. Snatcher has so much styyyyyllllleeeeeee

I'd love to see more of this game. It looks pretty cool!

I am super into this. Would make a great game to play all the way through.

@discoman:

@akyho:

Man it sure would be a terrible shame if Snatcher ended up being a recurring segment.

I know it's unlikely, but I would love to see y'all do a full play through of this.

That soundtrack is fire.

Gotta love the use of Theme of Tara when the MK II shows up.

GoBots came first, by five months.

Woah! I didn't even know this game existed. Cool stuff!

Please play more Snatcher! This was great.

@renzu: Yes. Yes you should play Policenauts.

They mentioned the Mario Maker servers being down for maintenance, but there's such a crazy, insane story behind that. Former GB employee, Patrick Klepek, wrote up a story explaining exactly what happened:

Jeff preemptivly face-palming to Jason's joke was great.

Also, "Ask Metal number"

"SIX SIX SIX"

Somehow I'd never heard of this game before, but it looks really cool (random Kojima nonsense aside). Certainly wouldn't mind seeing Jeff play more of it.

I'm way into this because of the Metal Gear references. Gibson's robot is called Little John... Which is the nickname of Raiden's son... I love deep cuts!

It's a shame Dan wasn't on the show, he would have been losing his shit.

Jason's dad joke game is starting strong.

So, full play through when? :D

keep snatchin' y'all!

I'm also one of those people who would like to see Jeff play more of this game, and maybe Policenauts in the future.

Really pleased with myself that I actually managed to finish Snatcher. Also, if you ever want to talk cyberpunk you should check out lainchan or 8ch's /cyber/.

PLEASE continue this series until the end of the game!

Wow. This is totally like Read Only Memories, but it doesn't suck!

snatcher!

it's the movie white supremacist hairstyle.

Jeff's reaction when Jason started to tell the armies joke was perfect...and very quick.

It angers me that it's almost impossible to get this game. I'm really hoping that Giant Bomb plays Snatcher continues much in the vain of Giant Beast's Kerbal.

Please Jason, play this whole thing.

@wcarle just a heads up. this episode is missing from The Old Game Show show page, at least its not showing in whatever API the GBTV iOS app, or QLCrew uses?
