The investigation begins! Ace reporter Jake Quinlan starts out by checking out the police station for case reports on the Ripper case, but will Detective Magnotta hamper his efforts? Will Catherine recover from the Ripper’s attack? Will Marion be able to elude the Nazis and give the headpiece to the Staff of Ra to Indy?
Find out! It’s un-fuckin’-believable!
(I’m working on fixing the interlacing issues. Not sure where those came from.)

This riff… is un-fucking-believable!
I’ve been waiting for this! I crack up everytime Spoony impersonates Walken.
Well your Walken impression is definitely improving :p
Do me like a rotisserie chicken
god this is worse than phantasmagoria. at least that was lulzy.
this is just sad.
I’m suprised the recording actually went so well. What are you using, DOSBox or VDMSound? I got my copy working fine using VDMSound but of course I can’t record while using it.
Anyways, I beat this game before. It’s really difficult to go through. Some of the puzzles are stupidly annoying (Like the ball rolling puzzle in the one guy’s apartment.) to impossible to figure out (Like figuring out the book number. Remember, eye=i), and THEN there’s Catherine’s Stone puzzle. And that’s only the beggining of the game.
I do like how it was different people each time through the game. It was always 1 of 4 different suspects by the end of the game. The story was sub-decent (Unlike Phantasmagoria 2, which was awful), and the characters were interesting, like Falconetti has this insane fetish with knives.
Just wait till Spoony gets to the puzzles and the shooting segments. Those will be fun.
I cannot overstate how much I’ve been waiting for this… all humor could seriously be based on FMV games as far as I’m concerned (that’s how painful my memories are) and you handle them better than anyone else, dude. Phantasmagoria was the frickin’ funniest thing ever, my only complaint about Borg was that you didn’t show the whole thing (although Klingon was much worse, as I recall), and this looks like it could be the best yet.
What the hell is John Adams doing in this? JESUS.
Paul Giamati? Oh god!
MGS4 made me already really sick of the word “nanomachines”
I know this takes a lot of writing and hard work.
Thank you, Spoony
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this, and it was more than worth it!
hahaha! you all losers! no your weres than that! your all cavemen compared to me thanks to my brand new SHERLLY BLUE THING!
I agree with Adam. Hell, I could watch Christopher Walken overact in this all day. Anything to forget him in Hairspray as Travolta’s OH GOD I SEE HIM AGAIN!
Hails from Mexico Spoony
What kind of messed up weird ass hosptiol and station are in this world. ><
Looks like Racoon City with highlanders 2’s sky an pitiful attempt at high tech gadgets.
I’m torn… I should be loving this because it has Christopher Walken and John Rhys-Davies (both phenomenal actors) but… I… ack…
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT THIS SUCKS! Is there honestly ANY FMV video game that is actually GOOD? Crap, even Anderson’s video game to movie adaptations are better than these (though not by much).
… The name of ‘Ripper’s director doesn’t happen to rhyme with ‘Mole’ does it? That would explain the decent cast in a shitty game-related video… game. Meh.
Paul Giamatti is in this? Just goes to show that actors are willing to do anything for a paycheck.
Holy crap, it’s Paul Giamatti!
Your Walken sounds like a Jewish rabbi stereotype
Do it more ^^
Haha! I’ve been waiting for this Spoony! Kick ass! Mike and the Robots would be proud of you! I know I am!
Walken’s face at 7:50 is golden.I laugh my ass off everytime i see it XD
So far this game isn’t even nearly as good as phantasmagoria 2 :(((
Hope it will work out coss for now it’s just boring (except for walken – he’s fucking crazy with the cigar “aaaam”)
what!? s-she not d-d-dead!? well she will be in a world of pain. i think.
and how can someboby resore her memories? how!!?
i don’t get it. how in the can somebody resore he memories
the opening picture to the video Walken looks freaking creepy.
Just thought of something.
Is Spoony going to make Dr. Insano the Ripper?
You’re the best, Spoony!
Why couldn’t they cast a decent actor for the MC? Considering that they had so many in lesser roles…Walken is of course the bright spot in all of this. I don’t think he could fail at entertaining if he tried. Even as the custodian in Joe Dirt, he was brilliant.
Someone asked if there were any decent FMV games. They are out there, and actually not that hard to install/obtain, here are a few:
Tex Murphy series – Under a Killing Moon, Pandora Directive, and Overseer – all available at gog.com
The first Phantasmagoria was pretty good, and also highly disturbing.
Gabriel Knight 2 is decent, although it’s part of a trilogy but is the only FMV game in that trilogy.
wow, Christopher Walken, Karen Allen, Paul Giamatti… who else is hiding in this thing?
(Nice Overdrawn at the Memory Bank and Trauma Center refs, I assume the ‘healing touch’ thing was Trauma Center)
“Tag Qinlyn! You’re it!” I laughed so hard I hit my head. Curse you Spoony and your diabolical humoristic schemes!
This will be good, I expect it will beat phantasmagoria 2 since you do a killer Walken-imitation dude. Applauds from Sweden!
AGGHHH! i remember this game!!! to think i picked the box up and gave it the once over before putting it back and buying some thing else
*luckey escape!*
Great review as allways Spoony, i look forward to part 2.
Thank you for what seems to be the start to another great FMV-riffing!
And if I find someone with a credit card, I’m so buying the “I heard that Curtis!”-Shirt in honor of the 5 hours of PHANTASMAGORIAAAA-fun you graced the internet with (*cough* overdramatic *cough*)!
P.S.: Hey, I found your myspace-page! Haven’t checked mine for years!
Nice Sideways reference.
Ha! The starring guy is the wolf from that TV mini-series the 10th Kingdom…that’s right…I said it.
Spoony… the Walken impression you do… is just fantastic.
You know that picture you see in the video player every time you load the page? (Don’t know if anyone understood that.) The look on Christopher Walkin’s face is fucking creepy.
Oddly enough…. I miss Phantasmagoria 2.
@Meta
Something’s wrong with you…
Walken’s face should ALWAYS creepy you out.
Did anyone else notice that Quinlan looks like a gay version of Robert De Niro in Heat?
Who can deny that Christopher Walken is one of the greatest actors EVAH…
RIght of the bat Spoony, I gotta say your still frame for the video is FUCKING EPIC. Walken chewing on a Stogie with a look like he’s gonna fucking kill whoever put him up to this crap. I’ve got a raging hard on and it’s thanks to The Spoony One. O.M.G
*is wondering why you didn’t call this episode “Send me a Data Angel”*
I heard that Quinland! Haha you’ve just ressurected an old favorite :D
More! MORE! :)
What is a data angel anyway?
Is it tech?
Isn’t that door-sound practically the same as in Doom 1 & 2 (still haven’t played III)?
Great review as always.
Ha, how come the receptionist in the hospital has both a head set AND a clip-on mic inbetween her boobies?
You screw up on more time, Quinlinn, and I’ll get you busted down to writing horoscopes for the daily shoppa
Doesn’t Spoony know Paul Giamatti?
