Old Games: The Old Games Show: 05/06/2015

theme of Buck Bumble?! Dope!

AGAIN...I would love to see a somewhat regular series of Jeff and Dan playing videogame baseball while shooting the shit.

I really hope Dan as seen Tim Curry in The Worst Witch, its pretty amazing.

If the Glove fits you must acquit.

This is what I look forward to the most every week.

The red-tinted castle area in Glover used to scare the shit out of me as a kid.

The first few minutes of seeing this video...

The site..."Bumble?"

First screen..."Buck Bumble?!"

Argo Screen..."BUCK BUMBLE!!!"

I could not stop chanting. I owned it as a kid. I bought a bunch of terrible games for the 64. Next the crew will be taking a look at Chameleon Twist. Sad to say I own that one too. Also, Jeff had the proper response -- no one actually plays Buck Bumble, they come for the music.

Holy shit.....Part of me wants a remake of that along the lines of Deadly Premonition. Just trippin' balls crazy.

@jetlag: If it had been anyone but Drew who said that I would have actually done a double take, but it seems like the type of thing he would read.

It may be blasphemy considering his other work such as "The Simpsons" and Tim Burton's "Batman," but the theme from "Sledge Hammer" is probably my favorite Danny Elfman piece of music.

Curry's general expressions are just fantastic in everything he does. So I'd be ok with it too.

Even though it's all fun and games, Dan is going to get punched by Jeff someday.

When Jeff says "Ok; insect wars." Right before the lyrics start it fits so perfectly it sounds like it should be on the track.

I hope we get a Saturn show at some point.

Is this uncategorized? It didn't show up in my video feeds.

It's pronounced garidge!

Itty-bitty bup, itty-bitty bup le shay itty-bitty bup, itty-bitty bup le shay monda moola dip

DIP!

Some hot jams in this video! Wooo!

Mad respect for the deadliest riddim crew in Liverpool massive: The Beatles

The buck bumble music reminds ne of the dumb name entry song in san fran rush

NUTTIN NASTY NAOW

Bump to the boom.

Also, some Die Antwoord (from South Africa) stuff is really good). Zef flow.

Ah cool, thanks. I had no idea it had anything to do with that show.

@drewbert What is the brand of your boots?

Ken Griffey looked fun but the NES will always reign supreme when it comes to video game baseball. Little League World Series, Baseball Stars, R.B.I. Baseball, and Bases Loaded were all great.

DAT'S YOUR NAME!

Glovr is a worse version of Tindr and Grindr.

Great show. I much prefer this sort of thing to the, "Put on a bunch of codes and just run through a game without giving a shit." style.

@buzz_clik: yes, I was trying to name the genre. Thanks!

That conversation went on an embarrassing amount of time instead of someone immediately saying "Of course they don't, nothing really has hands unless it walks upright."

I'm disappointed they didn't mention that Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr. have the only back-to-back father-son home runs in MLB history.

I spent a good amount of time with Glover as a child, I remember the atmosphere giving me a sense of morbidity and dread...

Nevertheless, NOSTALGIA.

next idea for TOGS: Rayman 2!!!

WOW that Buck Bumble soundtrack is incredible. UKG ain't dead!

And if you want to talk about true hell, play Glover on PC.

It kinda really is though...I played about a fourth of the way through it and it gets absolutely bonkers with what it expects out of you. At least, that's how I remember it from renting it forever ago. It starts novel and semi-promising and gets way stinking bad.

They need to do Iggy's Reckin' Balls and Tonic Trouble. Another couple of kind of terrible weird N64 games!

There are few things I love more than listening to @jeff talk about old Petaluma landmarks/stores. I remember renting the same JRPGs repeatedly from Sterling Video after Eastman became Hollywood Video to the point that the owner actually knew me and would set the games aside WELL ahead of time. Probably stoked because I wound up spending WAY more than the MSRP of those games in rental costs...and I was one of his few regulars who wasn't renting from the room past the beaded curtain...

I thought this game would be about a buck bumbling, not a bumble going buck.

Glover! Good call!

Rickey Henderson retired in 2003...crazy

I would listen to that in my car with legitimate enjoyment on my way to work

"Aren't technically The Beatles drum'n'bass?"

I hardly remember anything from Dinosaurs but even as a kid (born in '86) I remember at the time that show was kinda preachy. It seemed to have a lot more after-school special episodes than the other shows which was always disappointing. Has there ever been a good after-school special episode that was enjoyable to watch? Do shows still do episodes like that anymore?

Oh my god....Dan does not understand the basics of music.....

so fucking good

Die Antwoord (pronounced dee Ahnt-Woord) is from South Africa.
