I was actually laughing out loud at the camera switching when you walked out the bathroom, so many memories of bad PSX/Saturn games. I can’t believe you got a Jaguar working too, after the Nerd video i was convinced that it never ever worked. Great Video!

Great work Noah!

Hah, nice ending. The camera angle spoof was fucking great too.
Hope you’re feeling better!

noooooo!

Glad to see you back in your element Spoony.

I was wondering if you were going to bring this up or not…sadly I still tote my copy of this game around. Why? Because it’s like you said in your Highlander commentary, we, as Highlander fans, are doomed to sit through/play anything involving Highlander.

Great review though as always…jeez now I’m gonna have to go play it again…so thanks? lol

Spoony, why would you do this to me?? Don’t say there’s a Highlander Game! YOU’RE TEARING ME APART!

Canadian-French, not French Canadian… It means it was made by french and canadians. Though it’s highly likely the canadians were the Quebec type.

You are a braver man than I am Spoony. I never touched the Jaguar, but I remember a game store that had one set up you could play on a huge screen TV. They stopped after they burned the first one out from overplaying. That was a problem with all Atari consoles, if you left it plugged in the system would overheat and burn out.

Dude, they’re MAKING a new highlander game.

Well it was about time! A nice review, not your best but a solid one for sure. And a video game rant including Spinal Tap music can’t be completely bad, right? Looking forward to seeing more reviews, hopefully you’ll get those out more quickly than the last few…

Also, enough with the Plinkett jokes, okay? :)

So even when you have a wepon you can’t block?
I vaguely remember the animated show, but I remember not liking it.
But yeah, the animation is ugly, the voice acting is horrible, and the plot kind of stupid.
But what would you expect from a kids show from the early ’90s.
Hillarious as usual Spoony, thanks again.

Best. Opening. EVER!

This game looks so baaaaad. My eyes started to hurt just looking at it. I’m impressed you got a fucking jaguar cd working though. You must be the luckiest (hah) person ever.

OHHEY you’re back. 8D

DR. INSANO READS WORLD WAR Z. My life is complete now. xD

No Starfox references? Not a fan huh.

Oh no, Insano is plotting a Halloween zombie breakout!

Most epic intro EVAR.

I am French Canadian and… hum… Wow, thanks a lot spoony, I had only heard tales about black people from my grand-parents when they traveled far far south, where the snow never comes…. Now I know their stories were probably… inaccurate.

Praise be to the spoonyone (AND google) for opening my eyes!

I know you were joking. The drawing is racist and it is some kind of grotesque caricature. I can only hope that it was drawn by the Gaumont company (from France). No French Canadian would come with a shit like this (I hope lol).
Still, it is a great review! Excellent travail Spoony!

Stabbed in the balls. Oooh, nasty….

The flashbang in the intro still cracks my shit up!

The flashbang in the intro still cracks my shit up!

Don’t hate me cause I’m awesome…at science.
I smell a t-shirt!

You should take that Jaguar CD out to a field and give it to it Office Space style.

And lol @ Spoony stumbling from the bathroom with the rapid camera angle changes.

What I want to know is: Why did Ziggy Pop grab the sword towards the beginning of the film, and then raise empty air over his head?

Spinal Tap +++

But trying to mock hockey ——

I’m Scottish and I take offence to the suggestion that we stab people in the balls all day, we do not go for the balls, we headbutt people and kick them when they’re down. It’s the Scottish martial art FUKYU, and it’s most effective.

Great review, and the evidence just keeps piling up against the Highlander franchise. How can a franchise be so bad on such a consistent basis outside of the original movie? It’s got to be the worst franchise in this regard – fantastic original followed by years and years of nothing but misery upon garbage upon shit! Nothing really comes close.

Highlander just keeps getting screwed over and over again… oh boy.

Dr. Insano truly is a great mad scientist for getting the Jaguar CD to work. Also, he was reading World War Z, which is awesome. :D

No Karate Kid “Sweep the leg” joke? Nooooo…!!!

Dr. Insano repairs video game consoles in his free-time, when he’s not trying to take over the world? That is just awesome.

That looked awesome! They should have made 10 sequels.

I’m not sure if the developers of the new Highlander game disband but they should release it finished or not.
Anything is better than The Last of the Crapcleods.
Great review, keep makin em we’ll keep watchin em.

don’t hate me cuz i’m awesome…at science stealing it.
also how did you fix the jaguar

“Wait, we own Highlander The Source?”
:) I adore the notion that Dr. Insano and Spoony are living together. Seriously, I chuckle whenever I think about it. I honestly can’t decide whether having Dr. Insano as a housemate would be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever.

YaY dr. INSANO is back :)

Lets all have a moment of silence to mourn the passing of one the last Jaguars. It used all its remaining life energy to run one last time an give us this review. An give us a glimpse of a game few will ever see in person lol.

Also I suspected Spoony was a redlettermedia fan after he mentioned that “Cinematic Blue Balls” comment about Episode 1 in the Highlander 2 commentary. The end of this one confirmed it.

You know, I’m a MacLoed on my mothers side, let me check something.

…

Nope, doesn’t work.

So this games inventory and interface are almost as bad as Final Fantasy 14s. Wait I take that back, I’d hate to be unfair and biased to The Highlander Game, comparing it to that travesty.

WAIT? they fucking canceled the MMO or the game made by Eidos?

Was Insano sitting there the whole time?

Love the new intro… it’s almost perfect. Almost in the sense that I’m a little unnerved by how you look in the animation… I would ask the animator to change the face up a little bit, which shouldn’t be terribly hard. It looks less like you and more like an asian teenager. Again, love the intro, just one minor quibble.

As for The Source, you have to mention the badassery that is a guy on a horse firing a machine gun getting decapitated by a sword thrown into a tree. I had to rewind the movie three times to re-watch that.

Probably for the best that your jaguar crapped out before the nerd could send you all his jaguar games to “congratulate,” on getting one to work.

OH MY GOD. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FAAAACE?!

Just a quick question, what’s with the radical shift in narration in the beginning of the review?

You’re cute, Noah. I have to admit I have a crush on you :3

Noah, I have to admit, I have a crush on you. :3

uh, the review, right – honestly the most impressive thing is that you even got the Jaguar working. The game is so bad it’s really beyond intelligent comment.

I thought the intro for this one was interesting. I liked the review, too. I’m just not sure what to think of the game itself. I can’t help but wonder what the people behind it were thinking. They based their game on a cartoon that had little to nothing to do with the movies it was based on, and then they put it exculsively on a system that, even then, they had to know how messed up it was.

Anyway, thanks for the review. I was blissfully unaware that there even was such a thing as the Jaguar CD until now,,,

Wow. Maybe it was a bliss that no one got that thing to work.

I enjoyed the tech critique :)

Well, it’s true we don’t have real sports…Like wrestling!
No Spoony please don’t kill me!
Anyway great review. Wow, this game is right up there with Pumpkin Head when it comes to effort, isn’t it? The funny/sad thing is that the background 3D graphics and 3D cutscenes aren’t bad at all for the era.
The cartoon itself, while not having much to do with Highlander at all (and putting aside racist caricatures) does look to be somewhat distinct from standard kids shows from the era in it’s subject matter.
Also congrats to Insano, you the man!

No final boss after all that shit? It’s the Monster-a-go-go of games!

Remember this being previewed in like EGM and that is pretty much it.

What they canceled the new Highlander Game I was so looking forward to that one Now I’m just pissed

wow, you got a Jaguar to work for 3 days? Excuse me, Dr. Insano got a Jaguar to work for three days?

I enjoyed the intro, thank the animator :)

Glad you’re feeling strong enough to tackle Highlander Spoony :)

Hey, did you know all Scotsmen are exorcists? If you want your spirits gone, just call one over! HAIYOOOOO!

I remember this show from when I was like ten. I don’t think they ever finished it – I wouldn’t mind an overview of the episodes with a bit more NNNNEEEEEWWWW! from Spoony.

Happy to have a new review, you clearly seem to be doing better. I tells ya, switching to diet soda’s a great move. You should totally tell us how you picked Coke Zero, because I know almost all of us could use advice on weight control. I think I’m ready to use an external flotation device instead of my belly.

My god that was the worst game I have ever seen, and I’ve seen them all….yeesh…sorry you had to go through that horrid game.

I just want to know if Warren Ellis is getting royalties.

Heheheheh. My friend Aaron (Canadian who loves FF8) has even more reason to hate you now! I’m OK with you, though.

God, the voice acting in this cartoon is shit.

Great review.

LoL, was that a Red Letter Media shout out at the end there…=P

Spinal Tap FTW!

I grew up with the first Highlander movie and i saw it hundreds of times back in the day. I wanted to like the other movies but it is just so fucking sad. I even tried to watch the tv-show but it just broke my spirit.
Christopher Lambert!! You should have known better!! Aaaaaarg!

Wow…I checked out the first episode of the series, and WOW.

Still just loves that intro!
Oh, there’s a review too?! AWESOME!

Oh my god! He got a Jaguar CD to work!

Awesome video. Its pretty amazing you not only got that to work at all but you even got to capture. Thats something to be proud of. Good Work!

Love that intro. God I laughed at the swat guy. Good times.

Great video, as always. The 3D-modeling is rather frightening, I’m pretty sure if Alone in the Dark were that bad, it would be scarier. OK, making your protagonist’s face scary with the freaking proportions might not be the best way, but it would make it legitimately scarier ;P

Oh, and just to add: It would be nice if you reference the AVGN in the “Clips/Music used” Section.

I don’t know if i have missed it before ..but i love spoony’s new intro 8) Awesome review glad to see you back at it spoony !!

Back to reviews, great. And this one is gold, unlike other shows, like Linkara’s comics reviews, I think you only get better and better.

I do like that animated opening. I think the best part is the “you’re in my way sir” SWAT guy LMAO

I don’t think your Canada chart is very accurate. I remember going to high school in Calgary and at least half the population were Asian.

I can’t see me getting tired of Highlander related failures any time soon, this was hilarious. Also, World War Z FTW.

That intro is just fantastic, I laughed the whole way through!

That intro is just fantastic, I laughed the whole way through!

Wow when did this game come out? I graphics and sound look like it was intended to be released on the Phillips CD-I, but was moved on to the Jaguar CD after the CD-I left the market. Good job on getting the Jag to work i thought that it would be impossible to do that. Insano: 1 vomitsaw: 0

I own the game as well… Never did get very far in it as I would loose patience with it. (There are better games for the system, of course, there are far worse ones too… :P) I might just give it a shot now that I’ve got a bit of a walkthough. :P

A couple more annoying things with this game. The Jag button scheme is labelled “C B A”. But in the game inventory screen, everything is labelled “A B C”. I kept hitting the drop button instead of the use button because I was basing my button presses on the order of the operations on screen. Of course, once you drop something, there isn’t a visual clue on the screen about where it is so you have to constantly try and walk in the area you dropped it until you are finally asked if you want to pick up the object.

I think the idiocy of the hidden “save” menu might come from the fact that the JagCD doesn’t have built-in memory and you need to buy the memory track cartridge. It seems like that save menu is tacked on. :P

I have two sets of Composite cables for the Jag. If you’re interested in one, spoony, let me know and I can try and get it out to you.

As for the reliaibility of the drives, my Jag CD died during a move… I think it was a problem with a control wire for the laser. I bought another Dead JagCD for cheap. I took the laser + motor off of the 2nd Jag CD and put it into my first one and presto, it worked. I guess I better make sure I hand carry the unit with me next time I move. I also have a problem with one of the power supplies, it’s not quite feeding the correct amount and I get this weird scrolling interference pattern on my screen.

The Atari Jaguar was always that that unattainable game system when I was a kid. You’d see all those pretty screen shots in EGM and think “That looks incredible!!”…If we only knew the horror…

Hockey is a sport you dog!!! No i’m a Canadian.

HOLY CRAP! I just realized Spoony planted a Red Letter Media reference after the credits! If anyone here has ever seen the Red Letter Media review of Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace, then you’ll love it!

yeah i wonder why there’s more black people in the united states than canada. maybe cause of slavery? i wonder if mashable is having an award for most insensitive or oblivious web comedian.

I love the new intro its so fun!

The only good Jaguar game was Tempest 2000 anyway, and that was on cartridge which meant no fumbling with the shitty CD addon.

It took you 3 freaking days to get the Jaguar working…
You have beaten even my own record! 3 hours just to get the 32x attachment for the Genesis, just to pull me up 3 seconds of Knuckles Chaotix. Trust me, just download an emulator! Nothing is worth that kind of hell!

Somehow, i ended up laughing with the good Dr. at the end…

Wow. I had actually heard of this game (somebody threw it out there as a comment to an “I wish there were a Highlander game!” thread on a forum I used to frequent), but I had no idea it was so bad. Of course, if I were more familiar with the quality of the cartoon, it wouldn’t have surprised me. I only ever saw one episode of that show, and I was maybe eight at the time, and had never seen any of the Highlander movies, so I was understandably a little behind the curve on that one.

Still, kudos on getting the Jaguar CD to work. I really wanted to see just what that thing was capable of when the AVGN reviewed it, but of course, he never could get it going. I know it was an early 3D title, but those graphics made PS1 launch titles look like PS3 games! So baaad…

Gotta love that World War Z

Nice video spoony…Although, as someone who is a Canadian, I resent that statement about our sports!
Lacrosse IS a REAL sport!
T_T

Also, the ‘minorities of Canada chart’ is WAAAY out to lunch….Aboriginals aren’t even listed on there!!
T_T

Only Kidding of course…^_^

But seriously, they made a Highlander Video Game?! Now I’ve seen everything!

Not wanting to sound like a nit picky dick, but being Scottish just wanted to correct a couple things.
Firstly, Dundee is a city, not a village. (and it sucks!)
Secondly Stonehenge isn’t in Scotland, it’s near the bottom of England, close to London. So either it was one of the stone circle in the highlands or its set in England.
great review in any case!

I laughed my ass off at the part where Doctor Insano was trying to get the Jaguar CD working! What a peice of shit! Awesome review Spoony!!!!!!

Since you got that piece of shit to work, i would give you 90000 fucking dollars just for being able to.
Too bad i dont have that much money. does 5 cents do?

Good review but saying the Jaguar only has rf is stupid, its right on the back of the console! it even says AV out!

woops double post

I laughed so hard at the Memín Pinguín comic.
I know how this it has nothing to do wit the original movie, or Highlander: The Series; and I know how sanitized was the series with the lack of decapitations, lasers instead of bullets, how everyone but Kortan gave up The Game, etc. I liked this cartoon mostly because it was produces by Marc du Pontavice, a guy that worked in other french cartoons like The Magician and Oggy and the Cockroaches, and frankly, this isn’t a good animated series compared with those ones. But still I have a little soft spot for it.
And holy shit, this game is terrible.

Gotta say, Spoony, that animated opening is FANTASTIC.

Please make it permanent. Brilliant stuff.

That is all. You may continue now.

I guess we should be thankful that this game was released only on the Atari Jaguar CD, given how many complaints there are about the system failing on top of how rare the system seems to be in the 1st place, most of the world is spared this disgrace.

Kudos to you/Insano for getting your system to work and actually playing that game… man that was horrible and hilarious. Again, thanks for going through hell for our entertainment! :)

Okay, I never really post to these things, but just wanted to add my comment:

The stumbling-scene-shifting thing? GENIUS. Not only was it hilarious, but I’ve played too many adventure-type games, or RE games for that matter, who overindulge in that crap. Simple concept and you executed it wonderfully.

Bravo.

God I hate it when games dont have a last boss!
Some games can do it well, like Bioshock 2, but most really suffer without a last boss.
I mean, even Wolfenstein 3D had “Robo-Hitler”! How hard can it be to just make one last enemy?

Gotta say, this is easily your best review in a while, Spoony.

Gotta say, this is easily your best review in a while, Spoony.

This one was great. are u gonna to do the other HIghlander game?

Heh, entertaining as always Spoony!

Ever considered reviewing Highlander: The Search for Vengeance?

I love this review simply because it contains the single greatest piece of music ever composed, Stonehenge by Spinal Tap

Is it just me or do a lot of those voices sound like they came from the old Fox X-men cartoon?

I like that Dr Insano just sorta hangs out now

Also: the last line that Dr. Insano says—”He’ll be back… they ALWAYS come back… (evil laughter)”—is probably the best line of dialogue in any of your reviews if only because it’s also the truest thing you’ve ever said, since, from what I can gather from your reviews of the Highlander sequels, the main problem with the first Highlander movie is that it’s doomed its fans to wander the earth forever, picking up and enduring everything and anything with the Highlander name mentioned in it somewhere, no matter how shitty and horrible it is. Same thing with Star Wars. I watched the original three movies when I was in preschool (yes, preschool…I couldn’t watch any Rated R movies until I was 17 but my parents showed me Star Wars before I could even pronounce my own name), and ever since then I’ve been immediately drawn to ANY Star Wars movie or merch… with the exception of the animated movies and shows, because at this point George Lucas has broken me and my once-high spirits.

…I forgot what the point of this comment was, so I’m gonna shut up now.

This was the most entertaining video Spoony put out in a long time.

THE LEG, sweep it.

HAH! Good thing I’m English Canadian!
LOL

On a random note: I hate the french language.

Man, never thought I’d feel bad for Dr. Insano, but here we are. And truly, if you could get to work what a guy who made a Nintendo out of a toaster couldn’t get to work, you sir are truly a genius.

when i was a freshman in high school in my mathclass i sat next to a black person with giant white lips im not racist but he was the stupidest most annoying person i have ever met

Bad game but it did one thing. I was the first game to use full body mocap. Game still sucked though.

Haha, that was a fun video. Thanks. But you’re fooling yourself if you were thinking the new Highlander game was looking good. I mean it was just a few locations. And all it talked about was fighting armies; sounds like it would have turned out like a Dynasty Warriors or something.

This review and the Serpent Isle are easily two of your best reviews in awhile, spoons. Not saying the other reviews were bad but there’s load of good enthusiasm shown in those two. 
Obviously those two games are close to your heart (or you just wanted to bash jaguar badly… who wouldn’t?) and stuff you made was brilliant. 
Especially liked the way you included Doctor Insano in this review was great. Indeed he’s a great genius, so why wouldn’t spoony keep him locked in his basement? And that sinister laughter, he has obviously been practicing it with Doctor Horrible.
I found myself cakling so much I almost peed myself. Keep up the good work!

Spoony review kingdom hearts please unless you think it like any of the FF games past 7 i know they are long games but FF 8 and 10 were longer, i think. it would be awesome plus keyblades beat gunblades every time. Oh thats right at the beginning of the game you get to beat up Squall and Tidus, think about it.

Hey spoony why does it take you so dang long to make a game review! nice review though

First time watching Spoony videos actuaylly… And I see he’s a fellow Highlander fan! …Of the FIRST movie, which while ridiculous, still kicks ass. Everything since has been godawful though. What I really can’t understand is why didin’t they just do movies (or tv series or whatever) that would have based somewhere IN BETWEEN the birth of Connor Mcloud and the end of the first movie. Or hell, a prequel following the Sean Connory character? You wouldn’t have necessary even needed tons of immortals fighting each other. You could have bad guys who aren’t immortals you know?!

Or maybe there should have been only one.

Also, Highlander: The Source is in the top 5 of worst movies I’ve ever seen. And I see there’s a review here! Awesome!

I can’t get this to play and it is one of my fav spoony reviews, anyone know what add on I need to watch the vid again?

What is more racist? That guy’s face, or your comment about Canada?
Just kidding, I’m canadian and I love your show!

Dude, you’re better off playing Alone in the Dark (the old one for the PC!).

This is one of your best reviews ever, Spoony!

It kills me that you where able to get the Jaguar working but the inventor of the Nintoaster (via the avgn) couldn’t. You mentioned your dad was an engineer… it looks like it rubbed off on you a bit :)

It looks like there are two enemies not just one, two guard types, one helmetless and
with black sleeves, and one helmeted and with orange sleeves.

Although the Atari Jaguar came with an RF adapter, Atari did sell an RCA hook up. I used 1 on my Jag ’till I got a CatBox.

Stonehenge!

Where the demons dwell

Where the banshees live

and they do live well

Stonehenge!

Where a man’s a man

And the children dance

to the Pipes of Pan

Stonehenge!

‘Tis a magic place

Where the moon doth rise

with a dragon’s face

Stonehenge!

Where the virgins lie

And the prayers of devils

fill the midnight sky

And you my love,

won’t you take my hand?

We’ll go back in time

to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry

and the cats meow

I will take you there,

I will show you how
