Bite-sized version is here.
The city is in chaos. A new drug lord has taken over, flooding the streets with Colombian cocaine. It’s not safe to set foot outside your door because of the roving gangs of lawless, heavily-armed, desperate criminals. Heck, it’s not even safe inside your door because of a sudden, cataclysmic plague of deadly, coked-up snakes infesting the city tenements!
Only Harry Callahan can put an end to this crime wave. He’s officially off the case, but trust me, he’s had it with these motherf*cking snakes in this motherf*cking game.
Edit: Sorry that the mouse pointer is visible in many of the shots. I was a little surprised by it myself.
I do use an emulator to capture footage, and the save states are invaluable in getting specific moments, but actually you would have seen the mouse pointer even if I’d gone the other route and recorded straight off the console. Weird, I know, but the video capture software I use for both has advanced to the point where it will record the pointer and pull-down menus. It can be a little annoying for console games, but it might have made Phantasmagoria a little more interesting.
Anyway, I regret the mistake, but not enough to play the game again to get more footage. ;)

I can’t believe other people have played this shit ass game! And yes, I NEVER knew about that jumping nonsense. Grade A rant, Spoon
I loved it when you went:
SURPRISE!! SHITTY NES GAME =D=D=D
Laughed my ass of on that one.
Dude, why u buy these crappy games? Your just making yourself suffer. And it’s funny too.
And that is one horrible game. Urgh.
But its retro what do ya expect…Cool vid. And ST movie remake thingy is ace. I agree
NES controller and playing with a PC? :))
Ha, classic. When you began to peter off into a bizzare rant (that sounded eerily like Dr. Insano), I couldn’t stop laughing. Those had to be the worst level designs ever. I’m curious to know if you hate games that use “pitfalls” such as lava, bottomless pits, deadly water (that’s clearer than most REAL bodies of water), and swamps. I fucking hate swamps. That shit totally ruined MediEvil for me…
But I digress. I noticed you were using emulation; which is pretty much the best way to get footage (as you said). I use emulators to find new NES games to purchase; or to play games I’ll never get the chance to play/buy. That and I’m working on my own review for a somewhat infamous N64 game.
Looking forward to the next SWAT and Final Fantasy VIII videos! It was also awesome seeing you on the TGWTG 1 Year video.
Oh, I don’t know. The sewers in Silent Hill weren’t too bad.
Holy sh!t…. this is one bad game….. really glad you managed to squeeze out a review out of this one, before going completely insane ;_; But yea, one question bothers me here… what were you about to say about the 2nd level?
Eitherway, maybe you might fix that one day, but as for now, and putting that surprise end aside, it was a great and I really mean GREAT review… :) Very fun to watch and suffer along with you, matey. Hope yer happy pills will still get you back to healthy states :p
You’re greatness <3 (including your appearance in the anniversary video XDDDDDDD)
Hehe, yet another awesome Spoony review.
Also, I enjoy that your reviews / playthroughs are so much longer and covers much more of the games than anyone else.
And regarding the emulator-”issue” : gotta have emu. Gotta have savestates for showing off glitches etc.
AND … get some highres on and filtering right and Zelda suddenly looks a ton better than originally on the NES ;)
Wow, the ending totally confused me at first. I thought there was something wrong with my browser until I realized what you were talking about. Excellent cut Spoony, great review.
Jeeze, a friend had this game. I never even figured out you could set explosives or kick things. How the hell could any kid figure this game out?
God that was a long time ago. One of the worst games I’ve ever actually played.
Loved it and watch out for snakes!
I was the first to watch:)!!
lol Sarcasm is so friggin funny
Is that pimp looking character Michael Jackson after Smooth Criminal?
Emm… anyone else feel that was a little like AVGN
If you’re going to use an emulator, take your mouse of the screen :P
HAHA it’s like a retro AVGN Style of reviewing games XD
Wow I never noticed the mouse or anything
Haha, very funny, you ended it like the Sopranos finale.
I HATED THE SOPRANOS FINALE!
LOL at your Chester A. Bum imitation, that was spot on!
i’m should start keeping a chilly dog in my dresser too
i should start keeping a chilly dog in my dresser too
Wow, I’m glad I never had to play this game. Or, at the very least, I’ve eliminated all memories of it.
i’ve played this before at my friends house a long time ago, played the first level, and as soon as i lost the ability to shoot i turned it off.
Ha that was funny in a old styled way. Reminded me of a Armake21, PlayitBogart review. Or the old Spoony reviews. I liked it, that game was hard to follow though. I would have never got as far as Spoony did even with outside help.
Do more NES reviews! Awesome!
I had to go get a chili dog because of this video. It’s one thing to take a break studying for Finals to watch Spoony. It’s another to have to drive 20 minutes out of the way just to get a Chili Dog at midnight.
Goddamn you Spoony! :3
“Snake? Snake!? SNAAAAAAKEEE!?” XD
Lol- gawd- That Haha room w/ that guy. That was really evil. >__>
Yeay- Oldboy (that is a wonderfully sick, twisted movie). =D
lawl- Spoony Bum.
So.. Is anybody else surprised to see the FFVIII action figures on Spoony’s bookshelf behind him?
Now why on earth do you have FF8 figures?
First, nice Sopranos reference i.e. the mid sentence end. Second, down with Make My Video on the Sega CD.
Awesome!!
why the hell do you have Final Fantasy VIII figures?
Wow you eneded that episode like the series finale of The Sapronos
Damn, this is well done. The review was really solid, and nice ending to boot!
Haha great phantasmagoria 2 reference, your lets play of it was great and so was this.
I love how in old 80’s games you have to break stuff to find food. Hey theres a wooden crate I’ll just break it an.. well hey look at that a ham, I’ll just eat this ham from this crate. Mmmmm crate ham.
I think my favorite part of this review is “SURPRISE! SHITTY NES GAME!”
The graphics, the circular logic in item retrieval (items with the sole purpose of getting you more items) and the nonsensical level progression sort of reminds me of the Mad Max NES game. I used to own that and that game bites it hard.
On the running about in the sewer, shouldn’t harry eventually end in a brown suit after running about the sewer so much? :D
OMG it’s chester A. Bum’s veteran cousin lol
yay, ff8 figures!
What was with that Lucy in the Sky song? Where is it from?
The song is one of the many famous Beatles songs
Lol, the password for the second level is “Misty”. = D
You mean like from pokemon? Does that mean there are a shit ton of bugs or something there?
I know Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is a Beatles song, I just never heard it that way.
Movie based video games have always sucked?!
Hey Spoony great job on the review a good laugh
Best lines of this video:
“Surprise shitty NES game!”
“No, you idiot, you need a white suit! Go jump in front of a pimp and he’ll give you a white suit ya fuckin’ moron!”
“Who the fuck was that?!”
“Someone tell me what the fuck I did right!”
