I'll admit it, I enjoyed this game back in the late 90's. Youthful ignorance was bliss!

I could have swore this had a Genesis version along with the PC, Sat and PS1 versions. I remember renting it, never getting past the 2nd level and returning it, saying that it wasn't working properly. It's one of maybe 3 games I've ever felt so slighted that I demanded or lied to get another game.

Uneven Patrick facial hair is all I could see in this video. Not judging. My ability to trim is much worse.

When the other members of the team do the Encyclopedia Bombastica's I never find them as informative as when Jeff does them. With the name Encyclopedia Bombastica, I expect it to be more than just a cursory look at the game, I want there to be some historical context, a quick overview of the major portion of the game and key moments that make this a worthwhile game to take a retrospective look at. I feel like doing so would differentiate this content from the rest and really make it worth its time.
