Key takeaways

• In a world where 3Dio technology defined gaming, nostalgia kicks harder than any final boss.
• Ever wondered why half the game is intro? Welcome to 1994: the era of cinematic RPG expectations.
• Pressing start was the ultimate act of faith—who knew adventure required so much patience?
• Gamers today complain about long cutscenes, yet in '94, we marinated in hours of 'get to know the lore.'

13:50 I am uh this looks good in part because I'm using the CRT new pixie filter which is one of my personal favorites in which you are. So it helps to makes games of this period look really exceptional. I'm just gonna, you know what? Here's what I regret, chat. I'm gonna go back for the sword. I'm gonna go back for the sword because I don't know what kind of adventures are waiting for me, but I would like to take the sword with me on them. Come on, Daniel. That's my name for the sword, too. No,

14:46 I hear a dog. Oh, I dropped the sword. Everyone be. Okay, I'm gonna try to kill. I gotta try. Oh man. Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill, kill. Wait, what? He moved. Wait, did that work? Move.

I'm going to go out to this scary woods and just kind of hope that that dog doesn't know how to get here. Is this back at my private villa or my my y'all? You'll my sense of place is really bad. I don't really have a good sense of direction. Oh my god. Do you think that's Daisy? I'm supposed to milk her. A crimely. I don't really enjoy that. What's in here? We love this. Right. Right. We're going to use the bone on the dog 100%.

16:38 Yeah. It's just hard when you have an item in your inventory. Here we go. NO PROBLEM. No biggie. Don't worry about it. Just got a little bored. Excellent. Excellent. Just as I planned it that this nasty boy going about his business. I wish he wouldn't show me his anus. Business, I guess. Very well. Okay, I guess I got to go into his sort of What did I get? Is this his bowl? How did I grab this from downtown? All right, this is our pale replacement, right? We We agree. We feel strongly. Okay.

17:48 Oh, and really he's not Is he not here? Thank you. Daisy's wandered into the vegetable patch again. Will you bring her into the pasture while I get this bowl cleaned out? I don't get if I got to.

18:09 Wait, did I can I Is that rock interactive? I can't. Okay, let's go out to the pasture and find bases. You know, it's really weird in this game that I just found a sword lying around. Don't you feel like typically in these sorts of adventure games, I'd be like a farm boy with an amazing haircut and the sword would be a bigger moment, right? Just feels kind of like anticlimactic. Okay. So, the cow is not in this pasture. If this is the pasture, this is not where the cow is. Um, do you guys think I need should take the hammer with me? Probably, right? Just to be safe.

19:08 Oh man, I really didn't want to keep being kind of interacting with him unless Is that the cow because Oh, okay. Thank god. All right, puppy. Come here. Put you put you down. Wait what? Okay, I can't interact with the cow as near as I can tell. Maybe there's like a favorite snack the cow likes. I can kind of see the cow through the fence, which I don't love. And that guy is still Oh my god. Go away. No one wants you here.

20:08 Hay. Hay's a good idea. Anybody got some hay? Did anybody notice hay? No. I can't. I gave him the bowl for milking, y'all. The bowl's not part of it. I'm He told me to get the cow while he cleans the freaking bowl. Is there an attack but like I can't attack the cow, right? I can't assassinate the cow. Make me milk. Make me milk. I give up. Fine. I'm going to come back here like Anton and put you out of your misery.

21:02 Okay. Hi. Do you have any advice on cow maintenance? I'm leaving my hammer here. If I have to use the sword on the cow, I freaking will. You all hear that? Don't watch me while I'm cleaning my bowls.

21:34 A lot of farm animals. A lot of wildlife. A lot of beautiful sounds. Wait, is that a rope? Did somebody see rope? Nope. There's no rope. Dorks. Okay, look. Look. Right here. Right here. Right. This has got to be it. Grab that. That's what the cow loves. That's the cow's car. The cow loves his car. Just let the cow have his car.

22:10 Heck yeah. Let me in. Oh, I didn't need the hammer, I guess. Ah, he's got to have cow treats in there. Give me that. Give me that.

22:24 What is the matter with you this morning, boy? Bring the cow into the pasture and make sure that she stays there.

22:33 I mean, what do you jerk? Oh, look. What's this? I don't know, but it's got to be important. Maybe this is something that is very important to the cow. There's lots of great stuff to steal in here. I think. Whoa. What's this? I could steal this, too. Oh man. Oh, man. I could need to steal this. This game is so confusing. I wish I knew all the stealing buttons and what what the view was on stealing. Generally speaking, I'm going to take I'm going to take the rope though, gang. That feels that feels like a thing. Get the rope, Justin. Agreed. AGREED.

23:43 It's not too bad. like a game with a clear set of paths. You know, I can deal with this. Wants me to get the cow. I'll get the cow. Is the cow in there with the weird dog guy or No, the cow somewhere else. Where' we leave the cow? Cow. Right there. Was the What was in here? Doesn't matter. Not a cow. The cow wasn't here at all. Let's say this is not a cow related area.

24:28 Cow. Maybe the cow only materializes depending on the angle. Like maybe you literally have to go in there to get the cow for the cow to become tangible. No, this is not the same place. God, the dog ate the cow. It's possible. I just Is there a different This is Okay, so that is a different That's a different dog, I guess. I mean, really, what's happening here? This feels intentional.

25:26 Come, my milky friend. Now, I just need a cape as red as blood. Is that what we're going with, guys? Okay, good. This is good. Now, hair is yellow as gold. Just put him over my shoulder, I guess. Um,

26:01 I guess that's how Make you hand him right to him. Huh? What is the matter? Lean the cow in the pasture and make sure that she stays there. What do you want from me? Like really? What did that do? What the heck? Oh, can I take this? Is this cool? I just don't know how to keep anything. Oh man, you take all this crap. I got to come back here. What is this? Can I take this? What about this? Okay. How are we going to make sure she stays there? I guess. No, I just want to close it. Oh my god. Wait, do you think it needs to be the other pasture where like the dog No, this is definitely where he wants it, right?

27:12 Uh, maybe not. Hold on. Let's try the other place. Let's try this pasture. Like maybe I know it doesn't seem right because there's like a definitely a different second dog here or something, but maybe this is what they're wanting from me. Yeah, we'll just leave the cow here. Oh my god. Will you please dog man, will you kill this cow? What's that over here? The rope. Please just There's a cow. I didn't Hi. Hello. 84 George 82. Hello. I don't understand why it's like this.

28:12 I don't know what for him. Can the rope be tied? Okay. Okay. I like that. Let's go look for a post. Oh, maybe what if we use the rope on the cart and we'll like hitch the dude to it. Oh, this is No. No. Wait. Seriously. Great. Perfecto.

28:44 Great pants. Now, now we can go get get a bowl. Get it get it milked. Get the sword. Obviously. Cow, you're fine. I'm going to go back to dad and see if he'll finally give me a dirty bowl to get your dirty milk out of your teeth. Be right back.

29:24 Yeah. Hail a conquering hero. Look at me now, Dad. I'm back. I'm a hero. I saved the cow and I tied it up the way you like. I brought your sword back.

29:39 There's something I've got to tell you. gave it. I never told you before because I had to wait till your 18th birthday. Well, that's today. So, listen carefully now.

29:52 All right. Take this boy. It's yours by right and you will be needing it. You'll need this. I'll whittle myself another after I've fixed the pale. Is there a way to have more than one thing in your inventory, do you think? Or do you think it's more one of those games where you're just have a big pile of trash with you all the time? Huh? Okay. Did that work? Did that do anything?

30:50 Um, I think this is working. Okay, I can't equip. Okay, I I seemingly can equip this to myself. No, I don't want to leave. I just figured out how to loot, I think. I mean, I have to pray I'm getting some sort of status improvements from the from when I'm like pausing and just like kind of leaving items in the menu. You know what I mean? Like it seems like I should be able to pause and then just kind of Okay, great. I'm finally getting the hang of it. I got a whole inventory now, guys. This is like a real AAA video game.

31:52 Yes. Taking everything that's not nailed down. I love it. This is This is what I got into the business for. Give me that. Give me that, dork. I figured out where I'm going to put all of it. I want all your garbage now. It's mine. This is a heap. You want me to see if I can take this cow skull? Oh, wait. Hold on. I just put this on myself. Yes. Yes. Oh my god. I'm I am playing a AAA video game. This is This is what I got to do business for. Yes. Put it on your neck. That's a canteen. Okay, fine. What's this then? A brick. A flint.

32:34 Okay. What's this? I got to hold it up for me. Uh, it's a whistle. The Von Wallandorf dragon ring. Put it on. Put it on. I'm going to make an honest honest warner out of you. Okay. Nope. Okay. Fine. Oh my god. The thrill of playing a a real

33:07 But what is it? That's sulfur. Cool. Oh my gosh. This is really I'm having a good time now that I figured out how to put things in the inventory. Um, do you think there's like a button now to kill? Have I activated my kill abilities? Oh, okay. My latent killing jeans are still dormant. Give me your skull.

33:42 Won't let me click the skull. It makes me go out the door. Um, okay. I have a sword. That's big. Um, I think I'm going to head out this way. Do you guys think I should use my newfound kill abilities on this guy? It doesn't seem effective on him. Maybe he would like something else for my inventory. Does anyone have any thoughts? Maybe this old stick. Would you like me to try this old stick? Do you want this? Do you want this? Nope. Nope. He doesn't want any of this. Want this? He doesn't want this. Fine. Never mind.

34:42 Getting I'll give him the business the oldfashioned way. Get ready. He is getting pretty Gosh, can you feel that? That's tough. Okay, that didn't do anything actually. It's cool that I can. But if I can't use my new murder talents, I want to go that way, but I can't keep going that way. Previously, a big dog bone did it, but I don't have another one of those lying around. Should I I guess I should just keep going this way until I figure out what my destiny is. I don't have a destiny yet. And maybe I should have asked him again like what he thinks I should do.

35:46 Okay, so just to get like listen, I'm not the directions, but just to eat the lay of the land. This is to the cow, right? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to kill the cow first because I need to judge the level of interactivity. So, let me try to attack the cow. It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant. The immersion is negated entirely.

36:24 Okay. Oh, there's nothing else to be done here for our friend the cow. We do have sulfur. We have a whistle. Wait a minute. Let's use the whistle on that. Let's use the whistle on that guy. Oh, let's use the whistle on that guy. Remember on the dog blocking our path? Oh, he's about to get the old He's about to get the whistle. I Maybe the sword is more of a ornamental suggestion. Here I come. I just figured out the whistle puzzle. Look out. Hell man. I'll be right back. I got to use the whistle. Not you. Your other friend.

37:21 God, I'm really bad at this. Like directions and stuff. It's just not my thing. I think this is right. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Hi. Okay. Trying to think of like a cool thing to say because it's definitely going to work. Maybe like maybe it's time to whistle while you work and then I use it on that. Time to whistle while you work. Time to whistle.

38:03 Maybe maybe something else. Sulfur. This doesn't seem right. But no, it's not a big hammer. What's this? A canteen? Is he thirsty? Nope, it's not thirsty. Scared of fire. Nope. Sulfur plus flint made fire, everybody. Now I just have some fire. Are you afraid of my incredible ring? Nope. Okay. All right. Well, none of it works. Do you have any raw meat? Eat the whistle to be eat the wh Okay, let's go through some of the tips. Eat the whistle to become whistleman. Nope. Bad. The dog is employed and does it work? That's perhaps possible. Is the dog blocking the path? I mean, it certainly seems that way, doesn't it, my friend?

39:05 Certainly seems that way. It's a demon dog that wants sulfur. Let's try. Nope. Try again. Fire whistle. Good. Let's try it. Let's try fire whistle. Inapplicable. You definitely can't attack it. I don't know. What? What am I? Yeah. I mean, it doesn't look good. I definitely can't attack it. Okay, this is embarrassing. Doesn't feel right, does it, chat? Doesn't feel like the right thing to do, does it, chat? Like, it's like this is in principle working, but I don't doesn't feel right.

40:00 Like I mean I guess at this point I could leave. It's all good. It's all good. It's fine. Hey, who are you? Who's that cool customer? Is that me? Where'd I get that staff? Is that in a dream? Was I dreaming about a better staff that I had? Ah, damn. See, this man, this really Oh, it's so confusing. Still don't feel great about it. Why does he do that? So far, it's I'm going to do this and I'm going to feel pretty smart about it here in a second.

41:15 All right, chat. Whoever said, um, are you sure you can't attack it? Please award yourself five game guide points. I can't keep track of everyone's game guide points. So, please, please keep track of them on your own. I'm going to go in to fake Stonehenge. I'm going into discount Stonehenge. Okay, now I'm instantly on my on guard.

42:01 Trying to figure out how important of a location this is going to be judging from the amount of music. Hi, I'd like to join the adventurers team. Hello. Can I join the adventurous team? Do you wish me to disarm? I'd be happy to. And rearm with a hammer. Perhaps if you view me as a craftsman, we'll be more open to chithat. Maybe one of them is the designated talking person and they don't want to acknowledge. Certainly the answer can't be attacking them again, right guys? That can't be the answer in this AAA video game, right? I can't be supposed to pop them, right?

43:04 Do you want me to try? I guess I did save pretty recently. No nothing. It's like non-interactive guys. Wait. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Look. Look at it. No. No. No. No. No. Look. It's me. I'm back. the the king of the video game city that we're all so into. You know, I dropped my famous ring on the ground. The whistle. Give him the whistle. Give him the whistle. We'll try. Oh, I see you have a whistle. We too possess ourselves. Please do adventure with me. Guys, is there are they ghosts and I'm missing something? Maybe. Can you all Is there something very obvious where like they're clearly ghosts and I'm an idiot for trying to talk to ghosts or did he talk about the special statue men?
