1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,800
You are Superman, all the powers
are yours. 

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,400
Flight, deep vision, super 
speed, super strength, freezing 

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:17,560
breath and X-ray vision by 
early. 

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,480
You receive the DC. 
Comics collector's edition 

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,040
Superman comic book? 
Then there's no time to waste. 

6
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,560
Welcome to the show, everyone. 
My name is David Petrangelo, and

7
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,680
64 whole bits cannot save me 
from being great at my own video

8
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,040
game. 
I am awesome. 

9
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,000
Up, up and get the hell away 
from this damn game. 

10
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,800
What the hell am I doing? 
Oh my God. 

11
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,000
More rings. 
Get Me Out of here. 

12
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,040
Hello, Jiggy. 
Look back. 

13
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,440
How are you? 
Welcome back to the show. 

14
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Hello. 
I'm doing fantastic. 

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
OK, now viewers picture me with 
a button up shirt, right? 

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,760
I'm running down an alleyway to 
help a screaming lady. 

17
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,240
I had a bit a big jiggy. 
He had a giant jiggy. 

18
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,880
Oh my God, 15. 
Minutes and it's very 

19
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,920
uncomfortable. 
Do you sell merch? 

20
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,920
Because if you don't sell merch 
with a jiggy on it, I think 

21
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,480
you're missing out. 
Because that's pretty awesome. 

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,040
I definitely do have merch and I
have a store, but I haven't 

23
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000
really pushed it yet. 
I'm still building stuff. 

24
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Well, now you have another idea.
Clearly the Superman logo with 

25
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800
the the jiggy on it. 
Yeah, 'cause there's no 

26
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,880
licensing problems with that. 
You can definitely get away with

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,560
it. 
Yeah, it's. 

28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,280
Not like Nintendo sues these 
days. 

29
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,400
They they don't even. 
Notice it's no, no, no D CS too 

30
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,920
busy making really bad movies to
even notice that either. 

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,440
So just you're fine, you're good
and that lovely other voice that

32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,680
you're that you're hearing is 
Jake from press speed to cancel.

33
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Hello Sir, welcome back to 
remember 64. 

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,840
It has been a while. 
Thanks for having me back. 

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,080
Yeah, I guess I was on Wow two 
years ago or a year and a half. 

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,400
Ago it is about a yeah, about a 
year and a half ago. 

37
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,680
Early days for for Blast Corps, 
yeah. 

38
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,240
Yeah, before you're doing video.
Yeah. 

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Yeah, we went from a really 
fantastic, one of my favorite 

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,160
games on the N64 to. 
What we're talking about today 

41
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,760
game. 
On the N64. 

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,720
Awesome. 
The one that has rivals your all

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,320
time favorite. 
Yeah, all bangers all. 

44
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Bangers. 
All. 

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,600
The time I mean, they wouldn't 
call it super if it was bad, 

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,160
right? 
Of of course not. 

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,480
That's right, of course not. 
Super game for a Superman. 

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,160
Absolutely, Jake, you are that 
Superman. 

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,280
Well, thank you. 
I'll try to be. 

50
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,760
Try to be We're all going to do 
our best this time. 

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520
We're all going to do our best. 
If you haven't already picked up

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,640
on it, yes, we are talking about
what is usually known as 

53
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,880
Superman 64. 
But the full title, which I 

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,680
didn't really realize I just 
thought it was just called 

55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,480
Superman is Superman Colon, The 
New Superman Adventures. 

56
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,960
That's the full title, and that 
is? 

57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400
'Cause the old adventures 
weren't good enough, we have to 

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200
make another one, yeah? 
Have to make another one and, 

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,880
and, and it is tied in that way 
because it is based on like the 

60
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,640
the cartoon and comics and stuff
that were going on at the time. 

61
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,520
So they just, they named it the 
same way I think because it was 

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,480
the way it was licensed through 
Titus and all that stuff. 

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
That seems like they just, 
that's how they had to do it. 

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,080
What a bunch of other games were
just called Superman around that

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,040
time or before. 
This is how they differentiated 

66
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,360
it because of the animation 
style and stuff like that. 

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,600
So. 
Let me just say the cartoon 

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,720
banger. 
Is it the animated? 

69
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Series Banger. 
The Justice League series that 

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,000
connects them both. 
Banger. 

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,800
Yeah. 
Well, I will say that the Batman

72
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,200
one is one of my favorite 
animated shows of all time, if 

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,200
not my favorite. 
It's incredible. 

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,360
He connects with the Superman. 
It's pretty dope. 

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,000
Yeah, he does. 
Yeah right, right. 

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,720
They would cry cause yeah like 
the the animators and the. 

77
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Stand and takes Lois away from 
Superman. 

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,200
It's awesome. 
Yeah, I'll, I'll say the DC 

79
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,440
animated has always been a step 
above, right. 

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,840
I mean, I could, I could live 
without the DC movies, but the 

81
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,839
animation stuff is always 
stellar. 

82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,920
I love the animated series. 
The Superman cartoon's fantastic

83
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,200
Justice League, though. 
Justice League is a choice 

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,520
freaking show for sure. 
Young Justice, even, is great. 

85
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,960
Young Justice was great until 
the last season, I think, which 

86
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,960
they like, revived it or 
whatever, but yeah, it was 

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,400
great. 
I gotta I gotta look that up. 

88
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,600
I don't think I've seen Young 
Justice. 

89
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Oh, that one. 
Yeah, yeah, No, I think I may 

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,120
have seen a few episodes here 
and there, but but that's it. 

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,920
The first season. 
Especially is amazing. 

92
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Well, there's Four Seasons, so 
decent amount. 

93
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,240
OK, nice. 
OK, so we have a lot to dig into

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800
or very little to dig into. 
We'll see how this episode goes.

95
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,400
I'm not quite sure as we get 
started, as we get into it. 

96
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,440
You know, Jake, we've we talked 
about when you're on the Blast 

97
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,720
Corpse episode about your 
experience with the 64. 

98
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,400
Do you have experience with this
game? 

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,480
Or did I just ask you if you 
were around and you said, you 

100
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,960
know what? 
I feel like punishment. 

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,080
So yes. 
So, I mean, this is a game that 

102
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,640
I, I did not play as a kid, but 
I of course heard the 

103
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,680
reputation. 
I have tried it. 

104
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,440
I mean, a couple of years ago, I
gave it a go. 

105
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,840
I did not get very far. 
But when you mentioned that 

106
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,880
you're going to do an episode on
this, I figure, you know, why 

107
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,240
not let me give another shot. 
Maybe I've gotten better. 

108
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,640
Maybe it's not the game that's 
bad. 

109
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,560
Maybe it's me that that fails 
yours. 

110
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Gave another go this week and I 
did my homework. 

111
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:34,400
I did not get very far, but I 
did try. 

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,120
A valiant effort. 
Interesting try, but I I did my 

113
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,360
homework by watching some 
YouTube videos of some full 

114
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,840
playthroughs and it's a it's a 
game. 

115
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:47,280
Man, you really got to do a 
whole episode on this one, huh? 

116
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,960
I know it's almost like should 
we just like put a bunch of 

117
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,040
really bad games together, but 
then then you're just going to 

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,680
be talking about all this 
whatever. 

119
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,920
Anyways, I'll. 
I'll guess with Elmo we learn 

120
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,400
something. 
I mean, that was that was a 

121
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,800
positive experience. 
You know what me and me and 

122
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,440
Jiggy came away with? 
With more positive thoughts on 

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,480
that game, or at least I did 
than I thought we would with 

124
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,600
those Elmo games. 
Like they're not, they're not 

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,280
meant for us and that's OK. 
That's great to have options for

126
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:17,560
kids and everything. 
But like, it wasn't a horrible 

127
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,000
experience. 
It was just simple and that's 

128
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,120
OK. 
Let me tell you something, if 

129
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,760
you put a bunch of letters in a 
crowd or in a group, right in 

130
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,720
Group setting, they're just all 
clumped together and you tell me

131
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,760
to find a specific letter. 
Like specifically the letter FI 

132
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,840
could do it like 3 seconds 
faster than I used to for sure. 

133
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Like a line up like. 
Power of Elmo, yeah. 

134
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,880
Yeah, yeah. 
I'm telling you. 

135
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,080
I'm telling you just like it's 
like F. 

136
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Like if they're lined up like in
a classic, you know when you go 

137
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,760
to the police station, Yeah, the
police line up is like that. 

138
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Like I found the F Elmo Tommy, 
that's an F. 

139
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,840
That's valuable life skills, 
right? 

140
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,880
There it is after a week of 
Superman. 

141
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,240
I'm telling you right now, if I 
see a series of hoops, I could 

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,960
probably do half of them. 
That's. 

143
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Right. 
Nice. 

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,840
So you're gonna sink a bunch of 
basketball baskets as well, 

145
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,560
obviously. 
Like that's the idea. 

146
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,040
It translates, right? 
Yeah, it's totally. 

147
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:16,680
The same thing. 
It's. 

148
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Totally the same thing, guys. 
Basketball's the same as playing

149
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,440
Superman 64. 
We're just just, we're just 

150
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,640
letting you know, that's all you
have to do. 

151
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,440
If you're gonna take anything 
away from this episode, it's 

152
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,760
that Jiggy, you had some 
experience with this in the 

153
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,760
past. 
What's up with that, man? 

154
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,360
Why? 
I just, so actually my cousins 

155
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:41,360
had this game and they had this 
game and Starfox 64 and I was at

156
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,800
their house and I was playing 
them and I loved both. 

157
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,720
And so I got both Starfox 64 and
Superman for myself because I 

158
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,920
like them so much. 
So Superman never really played 

159
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,120
the I mean, I did play through 
the levels later, but I spent 

160
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,880
most of the time in the 
training. 

161
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,920
OK. 
Like there's a training level 

162
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,120
where you can go and you can get
your ice powers, you can get 

163
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,480
your heat vision, which why do 
you have to get little emblems 

164
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,760
to use those? 
Video video games, that's why. 

165
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,280
Video games, yeah. 
So anyways, there was like one 

166
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,320
enemy you could fight and then 
you could pick up a car and I 

167
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:26,480
would spend hours just freezing 
the car, heat visioning the car,

168
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,560
flying around with the car, like
putting it on buildings, 

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,440
throwing it off buildings. 
Like I just found so much 

170
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:38,200
enjoyment in that I that's it. 
OK, OK. 

171
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,120
Before there's Gary's mod, there
was Superman 64, I guess. 

172
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:43,520
I mean, I didn't realize that 
much fun in the sandbox. 

173
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,600
Yeah, it's. 
Fun. 

174
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,840
I mean, we wouldn't have 
Minecraft if it wasn't for this 

175
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,760
game, correct? 
Right. 

176
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,080
Correct. 
Is that what you're saying? 

177
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,280
That's what you're saying, 
right? 

178
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Obviously has this legacy right 
there. 

179
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,840
Yeah, here's. 
The thing those rings, I mean, 

180
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,880
it's it's a tragedy that they 
made that like a gameplay 

181
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,520
mechanic. 
But the actual flight controls 

182
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,120
aren't that bad. 
They're, they're OK. 

183
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,120
I, I think he, I think he just 
turns too quickly. 

184
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,160
Like he just moves a little too 
fast left and right. 

185
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,560
Yeah. 
All you, all you did was all 

186
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,120
you. 
This is me playing like, I think

187
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,280
for the first time, maybe, maybe
second time, all you just run 

188
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,840
into the car and throw it like, 
you know, like, and then press a

189
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,720
button. 
I don't even know what the 

190
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,400
buttons are. 
I just mash the buttons to 

191
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,680
figure out what does what. 
Is that how you throw cars in 

192
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,320
this game? 
I use this so it's A or B. 

193
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,080
The first stage I did maybe 12 
times and then Lex wins, Lex 

194
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,040
wins, Lex wins, and then I 
accidentally beat it. 

195
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,800
I was so stunned that I beat the
first stage and you have 

196
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,240
precious seconds to throw a 
goddamn car. 

197
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,160
I couldn't figure out how to 
land. 

198
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,200
But the flying I, I'm with you 
guys is not so bad. 

199
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,360
It's not terrible, but the 
landing is awful. 

200
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,560
Like, would you want to land and
get back up again? 

201
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,040
If you're over water and you hit
the land button, you go to the 

202
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,280
bottom of the bloody ocean and 
you want to get back up again. 

203
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160
It's a chore, but I mean, if 
once you're in the sky, it's, 

204
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,520
it's OK. 
Yeah, like, I mean, it's not too

205
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,560
bad. 
To pull some advice from my phys

206
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,440
Ed teacher in high school, you 
got you got to fly and ride 

207
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,000
Superman like you ride a 
football. 

208
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,680
Just gently, just gently, 
gingerly, just caress the 

209
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,680
buttons. 
Don't don't manhandle them. 

210
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,000
Don't do that. 
It's it's. 

211
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,960
True, because if you if you go 
too fast or although I did watch

212
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,240
a couple of like playthroughs of
like the later levels and people

213
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,840
fly through some of the ones 
where the rings move and stuff 

214
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,520
at full speed. 
And I'm like, wow, you're the 

215
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,120
Superman playing this. 
Honestly, you are Superman 

216
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,320
because I don't understand how 
anyone could do that. 

217
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,760
Again, not really because the 
controls are terrible, but it's 

218
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,840
just not conducive to what 
they're asking you to do. 

219
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520
Like it just does not. 
I, I can't, I can't understand. 

220
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,800
I don't think it's horrible. 
This the the rings and 

221
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,680
everything. 
Like it's dumb that it's 

222
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:00,840
constant, but at least the 
flying is probably the most 

223
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,320
manageable part, or at least the
most functional part of the 

224
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,120
game. 
I don't know. 

225
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,400
If it was, if it was a bonus 
level, I think it'd be OK in 

226
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,840
hindsight. 
I mean, if it was an occasional 

227
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,080
bonus level, it didn't matter if
you got all the rings, you just 

228
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,880
got points or a bonus for for 
doing it. 

229
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,800
But it's not though. 
It's mandatory and you do it 

230
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,480
basically. 
I think every second or third 

231
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,520
stage you have rings to fly 
through pretty much. 

232
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:23,880
And they just keep adding more 
time to that clock and more 

233
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,600
rings. 
The final ring stage, it's just 

234
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,680
a constant stream you fly 
through and it's like 10 

235
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,840
minutes. 
So I mean, if it was, if it was 

236
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800
optional, it'd be OK. 
It, it would just be fine. 

237
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,840
I, I always pull up some 
information as to the 

238
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,640
development of games and 
everything. 

239
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:51,720
And so, OK, So what I, what I 
don't get is, or actually what I

240
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120
have some sympathy for. 
So that, so this game is made by

241
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Titus, Titus Interactive, Titus 
Interactive. 

242
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,200
I look through the list of games
that I've, that I've covered so 

243
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,720
far and played so far for the 
show. 

244
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,360
And I was like, oh, I could have
sworn that we played more of 

245
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,720
their games so far, but we 
haven't, didn't have a ton of 

246
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,480
N64 games. 
The one that we did play though 

247
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,360
was Carmageddon. 
So already I was like, oh Jesus,

248
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,240
here we go. 
But looking through everything 

249
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,760
about this game and how it was 
developed, it actually seems 

250
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:32,080
like it wasn't really their 
fault that this game was as, or 

251
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,800
at least part of it wasn't quite
their fault for how much they 

252
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,160
kind of got screwed over with 
it. 

253
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:47,600
So the founder of Titus Kane, 
Eric Kane or Kern Kane Kane, we 

254
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,000
were talking before about how 
the animated series Batman, for 

255
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,520
example, is such a great show 
that was on at this time. 

256
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,560
And this guy was like, you know 
what, we should gobble up a 

257
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,880
Superman license and make a game
on it. 

258
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,280
That would be great. 
You know, not a not a property 

259
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,720
that is super hot right now. 
You know, death of Superman 

260
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,960
happened a few years ago and all
these things like everyone knows

261
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,920
who Superman is, but not a hot 
commodity. 

262
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,600
Maybe we'll have a chance. 
Ended up getting the license for

263
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,680
it. 
And they're like, oh shit, this 

264
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:20,520
is great, awesome. 
WB, let us have it, DC, let us 

265
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,080
have it. 
And then what happened was the 

266
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,200
is it the licensing? 
Yeah, the licensing team at 

267
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,520
Warner Brothers was fired or let
go like a month later after they

268
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,000
got this deal. 
And I don't know if you guys can

269
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,120
even guess what kind of game 
this Warner Brothers and that 

270
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,000
licensing team wanted to make 
instead out of Superman. 

271
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,760
This is before development even 
started. 

272
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,760
This was like very early stages.
Obviously. 

273
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,120
Take a wild guess what kind of 
game they wanted to make, and 

274
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,160
then I will tell you that you're
wrong and tell you what the 

275
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,360
correct answer is. 
Fighting game. 

276
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,040
OK, Jake Kart. 
Racer. 

277
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,480
Good guesses actually both. 
Both make sense or could make 

278
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,280
sense or you could see the 
reality of it. 

279
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:11,800
No, instead the first demand 
that they had was to make a SIM 

280
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,840
like game where Superman would 
be the mayor of Metropolis. 

281
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,800
They wanted to make a SIM City 
essentially where he was the 

282
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,440
mayor. 
When is he ever the mayor of 

283
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Metropolis? 
And why in any way would that 

284
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,760
have anything to do with 
Superman or be fun in any 

285
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,520
capacity? 
I just that was their idea. 

286
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,920
That's what they wanted. 
Weird. 

287
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,160
So they basically stonewalled 
them the whole time, delaying 

288
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,880
them, not giving them assets. 
Eventually they did get what 

289
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360
they needed to sort of make, you
know, the characters and stuff 

290
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,280
to be able to have their 
likenesses and everything. 

291
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,840
But they screwed them over for 
months and months and months. 

292
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,680
The game came out six months 
late, then later than they 

293
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,840
wanted it to, partially because 
they weren't being given what 

294
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,240
they needed to create it. 
Maybe it wouldn't have been an 

295
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,000
amazing game if Carmageddon is 
an example that's, you know, 

296
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,440
well, probably not the most 
fantastic result. 

297
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,280
But I mean, I think if you're if
you're just being stonewalled at

298
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,160
every every turn when you're 
just trying to make some sort of

299
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,880
game with a superhero and want 
to make it SIM City, like, come 

300
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,200
on. 
I don't know, I find that 

301
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,520
absolutely ridiculous. 
But maybe it's just me. 

302
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,480
I can't even wrap my brain 
around the concept of this being

303
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,840
a SIM City clone. 
It just does not. 

304
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,160
It just doesn't work. 
Even if it was a city builder 

305
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,160
with Superman is is like the an 
MPC who flies around or 

306
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,120
something like Bowser did in the
original SIM city on on on snaz.

307
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,480
That doesn't make sense. 
Like how do you take the Man of 

308
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Steel and you turn that into a 
city builder? 

309
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,600
Like it just it just does not 
fit at all. 

310
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,280
I don't get it build. 
The city he goes and picks up 

311
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,360
the pieces like. 
He literally. 

312
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,160
Like Lego blocks the buildings 
when he bounces off them. 

313
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640
I guess maybe the damage he 
caused over decades of being a 

314
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,200
hero he has to rebuild the city.
Like maybe he's the. 

315
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,120
Repairman like is that what it 
is? 

316
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,200
It doesn't it doesn't make sense
It's so it's so stupid and then 

317
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,720
you know what it's it's 
unfortunate because like you 

318
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560
know, you have superhero games 
and you know not all of them hit

319
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,680
especially like early SNES days.
A lot of it was like 2D 

320
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,080
platformer and sometimes it 
would be a fighting game, or at 

321
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,920
least eventually these became 
fighting games and stuff. 

322
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,320
All that. 
OK, you know, are they all home 

323
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,680
runs? 
No, but at least you could do 

324
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,360
something with it. 
At least you can kind of embody 

325
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,240
a superhero in this. 
Like we said, maybe the flying. 

326
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,040
I don't know. 
Is there any other redeeming 

327
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,720
qualities to the gameplay here, 
guys? 

328
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,960
I don't know. 
The powers, they're fun. 

329
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,720
Are they? 
Are they fun though? 

330
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Are you sure? 
They're there. 

331
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,640
They exist. 
I think when you, when you use, 

332
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,560
when you don't, when you're not 
forced to use them, they're fun.

333
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,320
Like in your, like in your 
sandbox mode that you spend 

334
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,040
hours in. 
Sandbox mode, if you just have 

335
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,440
heat vision, you're sitting 
there just like like it's, it's 

336
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,359
fun. 
Sorry, what was that sound 

337
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,920
effect? 
What is that? 

338
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,440
What is that college humor skit 
with bad man? 

339
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,920
Not Batman, but it's bad man. 
Oh. 

340
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,280
And then he talks about how 
Superman's really lame with his 

341
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,480
powers. 
He's like, is that soup too hot,

342
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,680
ma'am? 
OK. 

343
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,320
Here you go. 
Yeah. 

344
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,440
There is like. 
I'd use it to cut Bates arm off.

345
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,680
There is escort missions in this
game, and one of the tactics to 

346
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,080
get through those without with 
your sanity is to protect the 

347
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,080
person you're escorting. 
You freeze them with your freeze

348
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,520
breath into a block of ice. 
That's kind of fun in a I'm so 

349
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,760
pissed off of this game. 
It's an outlet for me so I can 

350
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,880
just freeze Jimmy to keep him 
that day for a minute. 

351
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,280
That's kind of entertaining. 
It's very stupid. 

352
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,080
It makes no sense, Jimmy. 
I know it makes no sense that 

353
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,840
freezing the escort. 
Freezing your escort is how you 

354
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,800
get through them is a very weird
gimmick. 

355
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,680
Well, yeah, you're not escorting
them, you're just. 

356
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,000
Icing them. 
I icing them. 

357
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,440
I don't know. 
I was like, well, he was like, 

358
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,360
what's the turb? 
I don't know. 

359
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,800
So so the the rings, the ring 
stuff is what everybody 

360
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,640
remembers from these games, 
right. 

361
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,760
And what's odd about this that I
realized was that one. 

362
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760
So I read up a little bit about 
the game and and wrote some of 

363
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,160
the notes down and stuff before 
I started playing. 

364
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,280
I was like, I just want to see 
what some of this development 

365
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,800
situation was here. 
And that same studio Co founder 

366
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,360
defended the fact that the 
rings. 

367
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:45,840
I mean this you got to defend 
your work. 

368
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,640
I guess in some ways I don't, 
you know, I don't necessarily 

369
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,440
think that's a terrible thing. 
I I get it. 

370
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,520
Maybe you don't think it's the 
greatest game, but maybe you can

371
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,600
actually say like, oh, at least 
we tried our best or whatever in

372
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,320
that in I think I think it might
have been an IGN interview from 

373
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,440
like, you know, 25 years ago or 
something. 

374
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,280
He defended the fact that the 
ring things are in it saying, 

375
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,440
Oh, it is only the tutorial 
levels and it is not the whole 

376
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,640
game. 
But like you guys just said 

377
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,080
before, no, it's not. 
It's every couple of like things

378
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,800
you do is that it's absolutely 
that is untrue 100%. 

379
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,480
And I I don't understand the 
need to want to do that over and

380
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,640
over and over again. 
I don't are they really just 

381
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,000
running out of ideas? 
Like I just don't. 

382
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:35,680
I don't know, man. 
If. 

383
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,360
You take them out. 
Oh. 

384
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,520
Go ahead. 
If you take the ring stages out,

385
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,800
this game is still fairly long 
without the ring stages, right? 

386
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,400
Yeah, there's, there's a decent 
amount of stages. 

387
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,200
I mean, regarding, is that what 
it is 14? 

388
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,760
Yeah. 
And the stages are actually kind

389
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,280
of long, right. 
And the frustrating part, which 

390
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,760
I think you were alluding to, 
but before I can't remember what

391
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,240
you guys said it. 
Oh, you have to restart or 

392
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,640
whatever, right? 
I thought the restart was oh, I 

393
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,320
failed the ring thing. 
OK, restart at that section. 

394
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,080
No, that it's like the 
checkpoints or like the entire, 

395
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,680
let's say 20 minutes, half an 
hour, whatever it takes you or 

396
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,800
whatever, right? 
That's the problem is that if 

397
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:23,000
you fail one out of four things 
that you have to do or five 

398
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,680
things you have to use to start 
all the way back over and it 

399
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,200
just feels really, really 
tedious. 

400
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,600
And I just some of the decisions
that they came up with, stuff 

401
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,320
like that, It just feels extra 
old school when the game is 

402
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,200
already just kind of bullshit. 
Yeah, and the rings, like you'd 

403
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,680
think, OK, they're using this to
point to where you're going 

404
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,240
because there's a lot of fog in 
this game, right? 

405
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,520
But then they also have the 
compass down in the bottom right

406
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,080
corner that tells you where you 
need to go. 

407
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,720
So it's like there's further no 
proof or no reason to have these

408
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,760
rings. 
So it's just it's time killer is

409
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,120
all it is. 
And also the funny set up with 

410
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,760
the ring stuff is that 
apparently it's a maze. 

411
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,920
According to Lex's Lex Luthor's 
instructions. 

412
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,960
You have to escape my maze or 
beat my maze. 

413
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,280
And it's like, this isn't a 
maze. 

414
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,960
A maze is where I would. 
I'm only getting lost because 

415
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,240
this game controls like Pooh, 
not because this is an actual 

416
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,040
maze. 
No, I said. 

417
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,880
Where the rings are Lex. 
Amazed. 

418
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:30,800
At this stupid idea. 
Misheard me with your superhero 

419
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,400
Superman. 
So that that compass actually 

420
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,440
goes away if you play on the 
harder difficulty, which you 

421
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,400
kind of want to do because you 
want the hard difficulty, 

422
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,120
because you get the actual, you 
get the real ending if you play 

423
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,200
it on the hard difficulty. 
I didn't know that. 

424
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,920
What's the real ending? 
I should look that up. 

425
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,600
I'm going to look that up. 
I think, I think you get a 

426
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,000
single screen. 
I think is what it is. 

427
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,040
It's not. 
It's nothing mind blowing, but 

428
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,440
the game ends really if you play
on normal, they want you to play

429
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,480
on Superman difficulty because 
really, if you if you master the

430
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,840
rings, you truly are Superman. 
Sure I did, I did notice too. 

431
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,880
I didn't know this until I read 
up on it but you whoop that's 

432
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,240
loud sound in my ear. 
You if you put on easy, I don't 

433
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,960
know if you if you switch to 
easy at all. 

434
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,000
The ring stages have no rings, 
it just gives you an end point 

435
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,840
and you can just fly wherever 
you want. 

436
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Pre fly. 
OK, OK. 

437
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,920
Yeah, Which could be preferable?
I don't know, maybe that's 

438
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,680
preferable. 
But also it's like, what then 

439
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,640
what's the point, right? 
Like what's the point? 

440
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,360
I'll tell you what the point is.
The point is, you're Superman. 

441
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,440
It should be easy. 
It should be no problem for you.

442
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,760
That's. 
That's a good point though. 

443
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,640
That's true because Superman is 
a character. 

444
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,960
He's hard to do a video game 
for, or at least a good video 

445
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,840
game, because he is Superman. 
He is literally the most 

446
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,640
powerful hero in most universes.
So what do you do with the 

447
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,120
character who is invincible? 
Right? 

448
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,080
Like I, I think there's only one
good Superman game I've ever 

449
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,280
played and it's the arcade game 
really. 

450
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,640
And I. 
Don't. 

451
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:00,960
Think that was legit game did 
you? 

452
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Ever play the Man of Steel one 
that was on like Xbox 360? 

453
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,240
No. 
No, I didn't play that. 

454
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,520
Yeah, are not Man of Steel. 
I mean Superman Returns, there 

455
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,960
is a Man of Steel one, but I 
mean Superman Returns based off 

456
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
the movie, that one was really 
interesting. 

457
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,760
I think it had potential because
it was essentially, it was 

458
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,400
essentially an open world 
Superman game. 

459
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,160
You're flying around Metropolis.
You could do things like fly up 

460
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,160
into the sky and then shoot down
like a meteor. 

461
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,280
And you'd have like random, you 
know, Spider Man 2 style pop up 

462
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,240
quests where you have to save 
the citizens. 

463
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,120
You have to defeat robots. 
You have to do like it was, it 

464
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,480
wasn't perfect, but you could 
see the potential there. 

465
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,560
And I think there was a game, I 
can't think of what it's called.

466
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,080
I believe it's free and you can 
get it on Steam. 

467
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,440
It's like an indie game where 
they took the concept from 

468
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,840
Superman Returns and refined it 
and made a pretty fun game out 

469
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,480
of it. 
And it's and it's, it's not 

470
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,520
Superman based or or like it 
actually has Superman or no. 

471
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,520
It's not Superman. 
But it's a. 

472
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,080
Guy with, like, sunglasses and 
he's, you know, he is. 

473
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,960
He's got the same powers, 
basically. 

474
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Gotcha. 
It's right. 

475
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,920
It's awesome. 
Yeah. 

476
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:15,400
I got to I I got to say, trying 
to figure out what to do in 

477
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,360
these stages as I watch my 
stupid decisions of for some 

478
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:24,080
reason, flying underwater. 
I I like there's no it's like 

479
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,760
the side doors open when you 
pick up like a thing. 

480
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:33,040
It's like what side doors where 
I don't what I've seen one. 

481
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,560
Door man, I punch it. 
That's how you use computers, 

482
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,160
apparently. 
Yeah, Very obscure game. 

483
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,200
It it's just yeah, it doesn't 
make any sense talking about 

484
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,640
other versions of the game. 
Apparently there was a a 

485
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,720
PlayStation version of this game
that the same company was making

486
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,720
that never got released. 
But it was like pretty much done

487
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,680
like essentially just completely
finished like 90 something 

488
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,040
percent done. 
I'm going to switch over so we 

489
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,840
can look at it. 
But it is kind of the same game.

490
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:07,680
I don't think it's drastically 
different or anything like that,

491
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,800
but it looks a little bit 
cleaner in some ways. 

492
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:17,920
A lot of it takes place inside, 
at least according to the videos

493
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,920
that I looked up. 
You know, some of the some of 

494
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,000
the textures and stuff are kind 
of mucky and whatever. 

495
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,120
That's PlayStation, That's the 
era, whatever, right? 

496
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:28,600
It is what it is. 
That's yeah, exactly so. 

497
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400
But the saturation though the 
colors pop a lot more on 

498
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,720
Superman. 
It's way more colorful. 

499
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,800
Even though you're underground 
and everything's brown, 

500
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,640
everything's still more colorful
somehow. 

501
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,880
Yeah, I think. 
Objectively if I looked at both 

502
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,960
of those side by side I'd be 
like the PlayStation one looks 

503
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,680
way cooler. 
Yes, it does and he and he looks

504
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,000
better too like oh, add go away,
add I don't need small I'm not a

505
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,920
small business owner. 
I don't have money to have a 

506
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,640
small business go away. 
OK, back to the game. 

507
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,320
Where's another stage and stuff?
There's there's a couple stages 

508
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,080
here that it like this is 
another sort of like underground

509
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,960
bunker type of stage thing. 
It's just still looks more 

510
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,720
interesting graphics. 
This looks good. 

511
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,400
Yeah. 
Like the textures here look a 

512
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,080
lot better. 
When I think PlayStation One, I 

513
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,320
keep thinking of Final Fantasy 
7's lack of textures on things, 

514
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,720
on everything. 
Or think of something like 

515
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,640
siphon, siphon filter where it's
just kind of grainy. 

516
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,800
But this, these look pretty 
clean. 

517
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,120
I'm. 
I'm kind of surprised they 

518
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,000
didn't release this actually. 
I know, I think it was what I 

519
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,440
read up on it was that it was 
like a it was like a Warner 

520
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,240
Brothers thing that Superman 64 
actually made money like because

521
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,760
people bought it because it's 
Superman and it's, you know, the

522
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,680
time that whatever it's sold 
decently well or well enough. 

523
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,560
But I think it was like just 
disappointment and reception and

524
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,000
all those types of they got. 
There's no set reason that I 

525
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,120
found at least. 
But the fact that it just wasn't

526
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,760
released kind of sucks. 
It sucks because people work on 

527
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,080
this stuff too. 
And everything that I saw every 

528
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,080
time I saw this game mentioned 
was that it was like a minimum 

529
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,000
of 80 or 90% finished. 
So like this is a very finished 

530
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
product and that's just 
unfortunate. 

531
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,200
So I don't know. 
Yeah, you can play this today 

532
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,040
for the for. 
I mean, I'm not gonna advertise 

533
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,440
where, but you can do this 
regulation and I think you just 

534
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,600
have to use some level skip 
codes to get through certain 

535
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,600
blockers, but I think you can 
play through most of it. 

536
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,800
Yeah, yeah, it's, it's, it looks
like it's worthwhile if you if 

537
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,520
you get a chance to sort of give
it a shot so. 

538
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,960
He literally changed his costume
when he went underwater like he 

539
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,000
was. 
He turned into Aquaman 

540
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,360
essentially as scuba. 
Why does he need? 

541
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,320
That why does he need a scuba 
tank? 

542
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,640
Yeah, he could go into space. 
It's Scuba Steve. 

543
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,240
Movie online, yeah. 
Scuba Steve. 

544
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:37,880
Well, that just triggered a 
memory. 

545
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,520
Yeah, man, I love that movie. 
That's classic. 

546
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:51,840
Yeah. 
So Superman 64 is a mess. 

547
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,320
Like, let's be honest, it is a 
very, very messy game. 

548
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,560
I don't know, aside from like 
the ring stages, I don't really 

549
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,120
know like what what improves it?
I don't know, like there's 

550
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:07,280
there's so little to sort of say
like, oh, if this hat like 

551
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,840
sometimes there's games where 
it's like, oh, if they just sort

552
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,480
of checked a couple of extra 
boxes or made a small change 

553
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,080
with this or that, then it's 
like, great, you got this, like 

554
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,360
you, you've made a more polished
version of this game or 

555
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:22,520
whatever. 
I just think there's just so 

556
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,120
much in this that is not great 
that it would be really hard for

557
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:31,080
that to happen, I think. 
I think you give it a Dynasty 

558
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Warriors treatment. 
Let's just have tons of enemies 

559
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,600
running at you at the same time.
Oh. 

560
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,320
Shit, OK. 
Let's give Superman all his 

561
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,560
powers accessible at all times. 
There's no there's no limit. 

562
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,480
I I don't know why they would 
ever do that. 

563
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,480
That was dumb. 
But if you treated it like, you 

564
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,880
know, like a Dynasty Warriors, 
like hack and slash, just like 

565
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,400
every level and he gave you 
plenty of space to to work 

566
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,800
right, I think that would be a 
lot cooler. 

567
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,240
Yeah, yeah, like you said that 
you had a lot of fun with like 

568
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,760
the practice mode because it was
more sandbox like. 

569
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,280
And when you mentioned that that
Xbox game that that sounds like 

570
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,360
a great idea to me. 
Superman is definitely something

571
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,240
that would work better in a wide
open space. 

572
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,800
Why is he flying through under 
underwater tunnels? 

573
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,840
It doesn't doesn't jive with me.
But if it's open sandbox and 

574
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,680
you're just dozens of mooks 
coming at you like mobs, 

575
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,240
henchman, That makes sense. 
Cause the enemies in this, I 

576
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,160
don't wanna say damage sponges, 
but they take a few hits and 

577
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,200
again, you're Superman. 
Why do they take more than one 

578
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,920
punch right? 
It doesn't make a lot of sense. 

579
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,680
The, the, it was on the footage 
that you had Dave, but there's a

580
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,000
scene in like the first part 
where you go and there's like 4 

581
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,120
enemies lined up and you just 
stop. 

582
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,200
And 1st off, Superman's like 
punching animation is just 

583
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,080
silly. 
He's just like uppercut like. 

584
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,880
Also, his run. 
His run is hilarious. 

585
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,680
His body doesn't move, just his 
arms. 

586
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,720
Just arms. 
Yeah, looks looks like a like a 

587
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,240
a Mull Walker. 
That's what he looks like. 

588
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,160
It's just a great poster. 
Great poster, though. 

589
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,680
Great poster A. 
Nutcracker. 

590
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,480
A Nutcracker. 
That's it. 

591
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,040
Yeah. 
But yeah, you're. 

592
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,320
But you punch him, right? 
And they're animated 

593
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:12,680
hilariously. 
When you punch them, they're 

594
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,080
like, yeah, like fly off the 
screen. 

595
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,600
And it's so satisfying to just 
go down a line of them and just 

596
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,400
punch, punch, punch, punch. 
They're one shots. 

597
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,000
They go flying. 
That's what Superman is. 

598
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,720
That's what it should be. 
Or, or you fly into them and 

599
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,120
just knock them all down like 
they're like they're bowling 

600
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,040
pins like. 
Yeah, that's what it should be, 

601
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,400
yeah. 
That is so much fun. 

602
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,080
It doesn't, you know now 
obviously they. 

603
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,360
Fly them up in the sky and just 
drop. 

604
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,800
Them. 
Oh my God, that'd be great. 

605
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,120
There's the one stage where you 
have to fight dark side. 

606
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,440
I think it's dark. 
Yeah, it's dark side. 

607
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,920
And you, you go, you have a 
small skirmish with him. 

608
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,240
You punch me a few times. 
He he falls flat on his back, 

609
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,840
which does not make sense. 
But then you're picking him up 

610
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,240
above your arms and you're 
walking down the hallways. 

611
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,400
I think you're supposed to take 
him to a cop car. 

612
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,240
I think it is to get him 
arrested, which this is like, 

613
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,280
this is like one of the new 
gods, one of those powerful 

614
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,920
super villains in their mythos. 
And you're picking him up over 

615
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,800
your shoulder, getting stuck on 
the ceiling 'cause you know, 

616
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,320
Superman 64 geometry and he's 
getting arrested by the cops. 

617
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,360
This, this is the the battle. 
This is what's in Lex's 

618
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,200
simulation. 
Like that's the other thing is 

619
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,040
this is all so so the ring 
thing, all of this stuff that's 

620
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,080
happening is supposed to be a 
simulation. 

621
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,000
It's. 
All a game. 

622
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,480
It's all it's literally all a 
game. 

623
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,280
Do you want to play a game like 
it's just it's what it is. 

624
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,280
No, I definitely do not. 
This is the is this the dark 

625
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:37,880
seed level? 
No, it's not. 

626
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,440
Hold on. 
I'm trying to change it over so 

627
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:47,080
we can see it, but it's it's 
like, Oh my God, it's moving so 

628
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,560
clunky. 
What is this person playing this

629
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,480
thing on? 
So this is the stage where 

630
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,880
there's destructible walls and 
if you're in the area of those, 

631
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,400
the frame rate tanks like it's a
cool concept, destructible walls

632
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,200
that they ruin the frame rate 
and. 

633
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,160
Right, one of these things. 
Where I wish they could have 

634
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,200
performed it better. 
Yeah, like that's these, these 

635
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,880
the shadow figures. 
The shadow hench men. 

636
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,720
They look like like just a 
punch. 

637
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,560
Hey, there goes the wall. 
Oh. 

638
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,760
Wait, there it goes. 
Look. 

639
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,440
Look other than physics. 
Look at those physics. 

640
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,360
Oh, I. 
Love it. 

641
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,480
Like that's the other thing too,
is there's not a ton going on in

642
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,160
many areas of this game just 
because it's it's very empty. 

643
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,800
But like you just said, Jake, 
the the frame rate just chugs 

644
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,400
for some reason. 
It's not like there's overly 

645
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,280
detailed textures around you. 
It's not like, yeah, the Cape 

646
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,040
flaps a little bit. 
That's all that's really 

647
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,600
happening. 
Why is it? 

648
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,200
Why is it chugging like you're 
playing on this old school PC 

649
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,400
with a brand new, you know, 
whatever Call of Duty game or 

650
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,160
something? 
You know what I mean? 

651
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,600
Like it just doesn't doesn't add
up to me. 

652
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,200
Have you? 
Have you guys seen the speed run

653
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,560
of this? 
Have you guys watched it before?

654
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,120
I've never seen the speed. 
Run of this I, I have seen parts

655
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,520
of it. 
I've seen parts of it, yeah. 

656
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,760
The fun part of the speed run, I
don't know if the world record 

657
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,040
still uses this trick, but the 
trick was if you go on the 

658
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,480
options there's an option to 
change the render size of the 

659
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,920
screen. 
So the speed run Strat is to 

660
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,920
shrink it down to the size of a 
postage stamp. 

661
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,960
Beat the game and because it's 
so small it renders faster and 

662
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,440
that's how you get through these
stages 'cause this this would 

663
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,600
slow you down your time. 
Right. 

664
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,520
That is definitely not something
that I saw. 

665
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,920
That's hilarious. 
Yeah. 

666
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,280
That's unreal. 
The frame rate is killer. 

667
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,080
It's so bad and I don't 
understand it. 

668
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,000
Like I really, I, I don't get it
because there's just not enough 

669
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,640
going on here for this, for it 
to be a problem like that's, 

670
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:45,480
that's so puzzling to me. 
I don't know I I understand that

671
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,080
you're only capable of doing so 
much. 

672
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,920
I know that like the what's 
funny too. 

673
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,240
I don't know if you guys noticed
the fog or I think I don't even 

674
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:51,960
know. 
Does he say this? 

675
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,400
Does Lex say this? 
The fog is green and it's made 

676
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,640
it a kryptonite. 
Like, like hilarious hilarious. 

677
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,080
Well, you know what? 
I appreciate that though, 

678
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,200
because that's, that goes back 
to me liking Turok. 

679
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,360
The the the fog was part of the 
gameplay experience. 

680
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,600
It made sense to have the fog. 
I agree. 

681
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,840
Superman, there'd be fog. 
Yeah, my fog. 

682
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,480
Sure, why not? 
I mean, at least it's a 

683
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,760
simulation did. 
You ever play that one? 

684
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,159
No, on this, I have not played 
it. 

685
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:17,880
No, that's gonna be on the list,
that's for sure. 

686
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,920
'Cause they, they put the fog 
in, so you're like on top of the

687
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,920
buildings and all below is 
filled with the fog. 

688
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,679
And in the story, it's just like
they gasped the city. 

689
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,199
And it's it's pretty awesome 
actually. 

690
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,280
It's a good way of doing this. 
Sequence. 

691
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,159
Yeah, I love when they give a 
reason for it. 

692
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,040
Yeah, yeah. 
Like in Turok, it's, it's more 

693
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,000
just like, oh, you're in the 
jungle and it's like the 

694
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,679
rainforest, you know, whatever 
you wanna call it. 

695
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:43,440
And so, you know, for the most 
part, not everywhere, but for 

696
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,719
the most part, I, I could see 
that, you know, there's the one 

697
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,159
state, what's the one stage 
called in, in Goldeneye. 

698
00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:52,760
Same thing when you're out in 
the jungle where you. 

699
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Like the Amazon with the What's 
her name? 

700
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,719
Yeah, where you face? 
Yeah. 

701
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,000
On the top. 
Yeah, exactly. 

702
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,320
When you face her and stuff like
makes sense. 

703
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,560
And I think Jiggy, when we 
played that game last year and 

704
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,080
covered it, we're like, oh, this
is like Turok, That's what this 

705
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,320
feels like. 
And it makes sense. 

706
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,040
It totally does. 
It's just there's there's not 

707
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,400
enough of that in this to 
justify the frame rate dropping 

708
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,520
like a like a fucking brick in 
the ocean. 

709
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:20,320
Like it just it's ridiculous. 
Boom, there goes the wall. 

710
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,840
Like that's cool. 
That looks like it. 

711
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,120
That looks like when I did that,
it breaks open like you are. 

712
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,440
The walls in this particular 
level break open like it is an 

713
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,960
animated TV show almost right. 
The bricks are kind of just all 

714
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,680
in one piece and they just kind 
of fall to the side. 

715
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,240
Looks good, looks good, but 
nothing else does. 

716
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,160
Just 5 frames of animation, 
that's all. 

717
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,400
That's the only problem. 
That's all you do? 

718
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,760
Yeah. 
Punch that car, Superman. 

719
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,240
Punch that car. 
Oh, no. 

720
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,040
Here is Luther's card or car. 
I don't even know what that 

721
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,760
sound. 
I don't remember that at all. 

722
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,880
This bank card Superman needs 
some new threads. 

723
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,200
He needs that scuba suit. 
And he's a where's that? 

724
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,840
Where's that PlayStation scuba 
suit? 

725
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,280
What's the other thing? 
The other thing I had to was I 

726
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:14,400
found the Nintendo Power issue. 
I always try to find Nintendo 

727
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,480
Power and see how they promote 
terrible games. 

728
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,640
Nintendo Power always looks way 
cooler than it actually is. 

729
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,920
Like every single time. 
It's such a good job. 

730
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,560
Just OK, so this is Kate. 
The crazy thing about this. 

731
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,880
I'll I'll show you after you 
guys can guess like well, not 

732
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,480
guess, but I'll show you how out
of place Superman looks in this 

733
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,680
issue, the game of. 
Steel. 

734
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,560
The game of Steel, it is issue 
114 November of 1998. 

735
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,440
So this, they're promoting this 
game as if it's like the next 

736
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,400
coming of Superman. 
I guess I was gonna say Christ, 

737
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:02,480
but the problem with this, one 
of the issues is when you flip 

738
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,880
through all these pages, none of
them show rings. 

739
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,240
You have 6 pages of Superman. 
Nothing. 

740
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:13,320
Why? 
Would you only show the 

741
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,960
tutorial? 
That doesn't make sense. 

742
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,600
It's a sense, right? 
It's if. 

743
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,640
This if this, the creator of the
studio said, oh, the rings are 

744
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,600
just the tutorial, they're not 
really the game. 

745
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,880
They must have added those 
interspersed levels to pad it 

746
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,240
out. 
They had to have late late in 

747
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:28,040
the stage. 
Maybe that's what it is. 

748
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,600
Maybe that's exactly what it is 
I need. 

749
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,240
To grab something because this 
looks more like. 

750
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,360
Something else he's he's getting
a hula hoop as we speak for the 

751
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,240
audio listener, he's going to go
through a ring. 

752
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,640
Jump through it. 
Nice moves, nice moves. 

753
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,160
No, I was going to say this 
looks more like this game that I

754
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,320
have on GameCube. 
Game command. 

755
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:56,520
Shadow of Apocalypse, which is 
Tuber Man 64 but on GameCube 

756
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,280
essentially. 
Is it really better? 

757
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:02,280
It's a little bit better, but 
it's still like it runs choppy 

758
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,680
and everything, but it like has 
like, I mean, it looks better 

759
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,640
saturate. 
Does it have rings? 

760
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,920
Yeah. 
Does it have rings? 

761
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,120
That's the question it. 
Does not. 

762
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,200
OK, But yeah, it's like this is 
what these screenshots even make

763
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,080
it look like. 
Like they're more saturated. 

764
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Yeah, they. 
Look more. 

765
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,560
They look more. 
Which is more? 

766
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,160
The cartoon was very colorful, 
like the the style of the 

767
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,840
cartoon more it was like the 
opposite of the Batman animated 

768
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,160
show, which is very dark and 
grim. 

769
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,120
Superman was always bright and 
colorful and cheerful. 

770
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,560
It was, it was interesting. 
The The funny thing about this, 

771
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,240
I don't know if you guys can see
it from your perspective, 'cause

772
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,880
it might be a little small, but 
one of the things on here, the 

773
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:45,080
preview stuff on here says also 
weird title, man. 

774
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,920
And Superman. 
I don't know what that's 

775
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,440
supposed to mean for this little
like thought bubble here that 

776
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,440
they have. 
So Nintendo Power rites. 

777
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Translating a comic book into a 
video game is very difficult. 

778
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:02,880
Superman, Batman, Spawn, and 
others have been down the road 

779
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,720
before with mixed results at 
best. 

780
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,560
It's almost like they knew that 
there was a problem here. 

781
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:13,720
That's not true though, there's 
lots of great comic book video 

782
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:14,760
games. 
Right I. 

783
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,680
Agree. 
The Genesis was fantastic. 

784
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,360
Right? 
There's there's a bunch of them.

785
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,600
I I agree, I think I think even 
even they they, they reference 

786
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,240
spawn as if like spawn some sort
of like, you know, outlier and 

787
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:26,480
maybe that's the one that's not 
bad. 

788
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,280
You play spawn on on on Game Boy
or you or you play it on the 

789
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,760
SNES. 
It's not bad. 

790
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,040
It's not great, but it's not 
it's, it's OK. 

791
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,680
It's like all the other ones 
that are kind of like it. 

792
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,640
So maybe it doesn't 
differentiate itself a ton. 

793
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:45,240
Pick a 2D side scroller with 
some beat em up stuff that 

794
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:46,800
that's good at that time. 
And it was. 

795
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,600
And a lot of them are still fun 
today. 

796
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,520
I think so. 
I don't know. 

797
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,720
It's, it's almost like they were
just trying to subdue the 

798
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:56,360
expectations. 
Yeah. 

799
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,240
Yeah. 
Something in there for sure. 

800
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,600
Yeah, I gotta, I just gotta 
point something out about this 

801
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,200
animation style because it's 
always bothered me, OK? 

802
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,280
And it bothered me with the 
connection to the Batman series,

803
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,640
and it bothered me when they 
still did it in Justice League. 

804
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,640
Why are his eyes Superman's only
pupils? 

805
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,280
Like he's only got just black 
dots for eyes with a little like

806
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,560
but like everyone else like even
in his own show have actual 

807
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,400
eyes. 
Yeah, Lois Lane has eyes that 

808
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,640
you can see him. 
Yeah, Yeah. 

809
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,280
Look at those eyes. 
Yeah, she's got eyes and like. 

810
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,080
Full eyes still. 
Out of place like look and in a 

811
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,040
blow up version of his face he's
got pupils. 

812
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,800
Well, I mean, how else is he 
going to focus those heat ray 

813
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,640
vision, right? 
He has. 

814
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:45,280
He needs beady little eyes for 
beady little rays of heat. 

815
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,760
I mean, he's got to. 
Keep him under control. 

816
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,720
If you have too much eye you're 
it's everywhere you end up like 

817
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:50,640
cyclops. 
Cyclops. 

818
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,120
Yeah, it's exactly yeah. 
I mean. 

819
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,760
And he sees the answer to 
Cyclops. 

820
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,840
And Cyclops doesn't shoot laser 
eyes. 

821
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,560
We know it's got concussive. 
OK, it's a concussive blast, 

822
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,160
whatever the hell that means, 
but whatever the. 

823
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,040
Punch dimension, that's what it 
is, yeah. 

824
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,040
Right, so. 
I went down that rabbit hole 

825
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,360
recently. 
X-Men 97 people watch it. 

826
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,080
It's excellent. 
Yeah. 

827
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,080
It's. 
Fantastic. 

828
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,400
It's so. 
It's so damn good. 

829
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,600
Don't. 
Jet and he's just like using his

830
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,520
oh to to just descend slower. 
I was like, that was awesome and

831
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:23,960
I never would have thought about
that. 

832
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,240
Yeah. 
Like and that's in the first 

833
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:29,760
like 15 minutes of the whole 
show that happens. 

834
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,120
Every week it's. 
Fantastic. 

835
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,480
It's great. 
It's absolutely great. 

836
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,000
Don't play this game for Season 
2 and don't even listen to us 

837
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,760
talk about this anymore. 
Just go watch that show. 

838
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,480
Honestly, stop it right now. 
Go watch X-Men 97 then come 

839
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,280
back. 
And then come back and then come

840
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,160
back and hear our hear our 
thoughts, because clearly we 

841
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,640
don't land. 
We haven't figured out how we 

842
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,680
feel about this game. 
So the other thing, the final 

843
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,920
thing about this Nintendo Power 
issue that has almost nothing to

844
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,920
do with Superman at all is all 
the games that are featured in 

845
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,360
this and why it feels like again
that they they buried this game 

846
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,120
in this issue. 
Because if you look at the 

847
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:08,080
review section alone, you have 
ocarina of time, you have Turok 

848
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,400
2, you have an NFL game, you 
have buck Bumble, which is 

849
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,400
fantastic. 
People go play Buck Bumble, 

850
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,520
Wipeout which I haven't played 
on 64 but great series. 

851
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,160
NHL game Body Harvest Haven't 
played that either but supposed 

852
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:26,760
to be good. 
Extreme, G2, Glover and even the

853
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,920
Gameboy colour is featured in 
here. 

854
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,320
The Gameboy. 
Colour, like the actual review 

855
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,560
of the hardware itself or quote 
UN quote, whatever. 

856
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,280
You know, Nintendo Power 
reviews, if you want to call 

857
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:43,360
them that, like it's, it's what 
you have, but with some colour. 

858
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,800
Hey, I love the gameboy colour. 
Me too. 

859
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,200
Don't get me started in the 
Gameboy colour. 

860
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,480
That thing is awesome. 
Me too, I love that machine. 

861
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,320
Yeah, I still have my see 
through purple one. 

862
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,920
I don't know if it works. 
I haven't tried it in a while, 

863
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,880
but yeah. 
Mine. 

864
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,840
'S going around here too, yeah, 
but all those games are in this 

865
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,960
that the the front cover of this
issue is occurring enough time 

866
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,520
that says it's the biggest issue
ever and somehow Superman 64 

867
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,880
made its way in here and and 
that's not a good thing. 

868
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,920
And it got not just a cover, it 
really got like a four page 

869
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,000
spread of of fluff. 
Yeah. 

870
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:21,840
Guys, you're, you're, you're 
misinterpreting what they're 

871
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,600
saying. 
They're saying the biggest issue

872
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:29,520
ever, Superman 64. 
That was the biggest issue they 

873
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,480
had so far on the 64. 
So that they had, they had it 

874
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,840
had like it had to. 
It was right there, plain as 

875
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,200
day, we. 
Should have known all along. 

876
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:46,640
What were we think? 
OK, so honestly, Superman 64, 

877
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,400
I'm glad I'm in a way, I'm glad 
we played it 'cause I just 

878
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,400
wanted to experience same thing 
that you that you were saying. 

879
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,440
I think at the beginning Jake 
was like, I, I know I rented 

880
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,280
this game, but I don't think I 
really played it. 

881
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,920
You know, as a kid, I was too 
young to kind of be like, Oh my 

882
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,600
God, this is a horrible game. 
It was just, I'm like 10 years 

883
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,640
old. 
Like I don't, I don't know the 

884
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,760
difference sometimes. 
I mean, I know what games I 

885
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,440
like, but I wouldn't be able to 
say like, oh, this is a terrible

886
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,440
flying ring simulator compared 
to the last ring simulator that 

887
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,840
I played. 
So going back and playing it, 

888
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,160
I'm in a way I'm glad I did. 
So now I can say that this is 

889
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,400
definitely one of the one of the
worst. 

890
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,000
I don't like saying that about 
games sometimes, but it's just 

891
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,520
not good unfortunately. 
I would just watch someone play 

892
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,240
it. 
I would watch a speed run 

893
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:40,280
potentially or one that isn't 
the size of a postage stamp so 

894
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,560
you can see the whole screen. 
Watch someone play it at a high 

895
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,040
level and you'd be like, OK, 
this is cool, but if you try it,

896
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,360
you'll never be able to 
replicate that. 

897
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,200
So I just advise you to not try 
and replicate it. 

898
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,240
But it's just a, it's a mess. 
It's just a mess. 

899
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:56,880
I mean, plain and simple, it's 
just a mess. 

900
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,400
Unfortunately so. 
Hold on a SEC, you didn't talk 

901
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,160
about probably the best part of 
this game, what? 

902
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,760
It has multiplayer. 
Did you not play the 

903
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,640
multiplayer? 
Did you try out the multiplayer 

904
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,200
mode? 
I didn't play. 

905
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,640
The. 
Multiplayer either I. 

906
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,400
Didn't I know there is one but I
did not. 

907
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,040
Please, please educate. 
Us so there so there's it's not 

908
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,960
just one multiplayer it's 2 
multiplayer modes and I spun 

909
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,520
enough for like 10 minutes to 
give it a go. 

910
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,120
So it the first one is it's it's
basically a first person shooter

911
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,560
battle, but you don't play as 
Superman. 

912
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,480
You get to play as one of the 
various characters. 

913
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,880
So you know, dark side the, the,
the black got trench coat guys, 

914
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,960
whatever, Amazo. 
But they don't move. 

915
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,160
They sit in like a Charles 
Xavier style hover car and 

916
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,840
you're hovering through the city
and it's the lowest Polygon city

917
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,120
even for this game. 
I mean, they had to cut down the

918
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,760
number of objects because it's 
multiplayer and it's split 

919
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,720
screen cause of course it is. 
And you're basically free flying

920
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:53,920
around the stage shooting a gun 
from your floating car at the 

921
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,200
other player. 
And there's some mild power ups,

922
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,560
missiles and all that kind of 
stuff. 

923
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,440
Oh, here it is. 
That's the first multiplayer 

924
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,480
mode. 
Yeah, this is this is it. 

925
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,520
It feels like almost like a 
Mario Party mini game. 

926
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,680
That's what it kind of feels 
like to me. 

927
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,120
What? 
The fuck is this but. 

928
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,880
But there's like one texture for
the building wall. 

929
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,440
They even on some of them use 
the same texture for the windows

930
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,960
on top of the roof of the 
building. 

931
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,080
It's so janky, but it's this is 
the one mode. 

932
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,760
The second multiplayer mode is 
race. 

933
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,920
One player goes slower, but they
lay a trail of rings and the 

934
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,400
second player has to fly through
the rings to kind kind of beat 

935
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,360
them. 
I'm so. 

936
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,080
Amazed they even did this when 
they're so pressed for time and 

937
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,560
so so struggling for gameplay. 
They added a multiplayer mode 

938
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:40,920
which is which is hilarious. 
I mean, I guess if you have more

939
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,040
than one controller or you have 
more than two, you have to have 

940
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,080
four player split screen and 
some I. 

941
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,960
You can do two players as well. 
It's so puzzling though. 

942
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,200
Like it like they had to. 
You don't. 

943
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,920
Even play Superman. 
That's what's at the Super car 

944
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,920
Like look why? 
Why what? 

945
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:05,160
Oh my God that's so weird. 
I did not try this. 

946
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,800
I'm look at all these rings. 
This makes no sense. 

947
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,920
Just make rings. 
Fly through them. 

948
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,440
Yeah, it's it's a wild, it's a 
wild game. 

949
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,600
And I get why it has reputation 
than it does. 

950
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,800
And I don't like this shit on 
games either, because there's 

951
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,320
somebody out there who actually 
probably really loves this game.

952
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,000
Right? 
Like Jiggy? 

953
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,480
Like you like it as a kid 
because of the sandbox part? 

954
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,240
You, you have some nostalgia. 
For. 

955
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,160
Yeah, right, right. 
Yeah. 

956
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:31,080
Yeah, but this game sucks. 
It's you know what else has 

957
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,800
rings? 
Star Fox 64. 

958
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,440
That game has rings and they're 
fun. 

959
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:39,720
And that game is fucking 
awesome, like one of the best 

960
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:43,160
games on the console. 
Just just gather your rings on 

961
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,880
that instead. 
Jiggy, are you? 

962
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,240
Are you certainly disappointed 
that your childhood is now 

963
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:50,320
crushed? 
No, it was never crushed because

964
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,800
I can acknowledge and look at 
this game. 

965
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,160
Even as a kid I was like, man, 
going through these, that's why 

966
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,040
I specifically told you I was 
like play indoor levels. 

967
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,840
Yes, you did say that, yeah. 
What one thing I do think 

968
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,760
they're more interesting, but 
they also either run bad or 

969
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,600
your, your movement is so 
limited, which is probably the 

970
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,120
most redeeming factor of this 
game is the movement. 

971
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:18,640
And then you take that away. 
It's like, well, what do you 

972
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,480
have left? 
Clunky punches. 

973
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,600
Yeah, yeah. 
And, and like it's one of those 

974
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,960
games where whether you're 
Superman or not, it's like this,

975
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,680
this quasi tank control type of 
thing and that it doesn't, it 

976
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,280
doesn't make sense why he why he
moves literally like a tank. 

977
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,640
Like it doesn't, it's not tank 
controls like the Resident Evil 

978
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,760
sort of ha ha, tank controls 
Resident Evil. 

979
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,800
It is literally just like you 
can't do anything unless you 

980
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,920
you're clunkily move around. 
Yeah, and barely move left and 

981
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,640
right. 
Like, it's just so stupid when 

982
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,120
he's on his feet. 
So like you said, you give us 

983
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,760
space, let us fly around, and 
then you're OK. 

984
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,840
Not everything needs to be 
amazingly looking. 

985
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,560
Not everything needs to be like 
the greatest metropolis you've 

986
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,000
ever seen. 
But like, for shit's sake, you 

987
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,360
know? 
Yeah, I think if they gave you 

988
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,040
just one city like like here, 
right. 

989
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,640
And they just added a bit more 
detail, like it can still have 

990
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:17,720
the fog. 
That's fine. 

991
00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:19,480
I know. 
Yeah, it's like all that. 

992
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,080
But if they just had this and it
was like you fly through the 

993
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:26,320
city and you're saving people 
and like doing different, 

994
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,720
different quest missions and 
things, I think it would have 

995
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:32,520
been not good, but I think it 
would have. 

996
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,160
Been better, yeah. 
I'm not. 

997
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,640
I'm not confident it would 
actually be any good but it but 

998
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,640
it. 
Wouldn't I liked flying in the 

999
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,560
water and pretending I was a 
dolphin as a kid? 

1000
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:47,040
I did that a lot. 
Like like up and down and up and

1001
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,400
down. 
And it makes the splash noise 

1002
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,160
every time you do it. 
Oh, that's the other thing. 

1003
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:56,560
OK, so the sound is not terrible
at times. 

1004
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,560
The music is definitely very 
repetitive. 

1005
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,000
Unfortunately. 
The one thing I did notice is 

1006
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,160
that every once in a while, I 
don't know when it triggers. 

1007
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,920
This is something where it's 
like, you know, the sound on the

1008
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,920
64 is sometimes pretty good. 
You know, the music and stuff. 

1009
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,040
It's actually one of the one of 
the better things that can have 

1010
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,480
more more consistently across 
games and stuff, in my opinion. 

1011
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,600
And every once in a while when 
you're flying, I'm going to turn

1012
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,280
the sound on on this. 
Maybe it'll actually work. 

1013
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,360
When you're flying, you can kind
of hear like the wind swoosh a 

1014
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:26,480
little bit. 
Yeah. 

1015
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,520
I was like, yeah, maybe it's the
turn when you're going to 

1016
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,360
certain speed. 
Yeah, I was like, OK, that's 

1017
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,800
some, it's a detail. 
They didn't have to twin any 

1018
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,200
kind of, you know, but that's 
all it is. 

1019
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,760
You know, that's all it is. 
There's nothing else to it. 

1020
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:53,960
It's just very plain. 
This is cool. 

1021
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,000
The music ramps up a little bit.
Pick up the. 

1022
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,320
Car. 
It's just there's only one of 

1023
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,240
them, right? 
There's only one it's. 

1024
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:01,280
Just a limited soundtrack and 
that's, I think that's the. 

1025
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,960
Problem. 
That's that's exactly, that's 

1026
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,320
it, yeah. 
Also when you miss, how many 

1027
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:08,720
rings do you have to miss before
you fail? 

1028
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:11,240
Cause I've missed like three in 
a row and it didn't do anything.

1029
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,280
It doesn't. 
So I I don't think it matters 

1030
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,280
how many rings you miss, but you
can't miss. 

1031
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,080
Like if you skipped past and the
ring was like purple or pink, 

1032
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,280
like you skipped like three 
rings or something. 

1033
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,200
Like say you fly just by these 
first three rings and you go to 

1034
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,920
the next one and it's pink, then
you fail. 

1035
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:28,960
Oh, I see. 
OK. 

1036
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,640
Based on distance rather than 
the amount of rings you miss. 

1037
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,520
Oh, so there's ways to cheat it?
And you could probably skip a 

1038
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,640
ring. 
I mean, it might penalize you, 

1039
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,240
you know, if you do it so many 
times in a row. 

1040
00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:43,000
But. 
But like, if you miss one, it's 

1041
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,680
not like you lose 10 seconds of 
time or any of that stuff, which

1042
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,640
I thought is what it would be. 
So that, I mean, maybe in the 

1043
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,240
harder difficulty, I actually 
don't know. 

1044
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:54,960
But yeah, anyways, that's that 
was like the the last thing I 

1045
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,120
was like, yeah, this. 
Yeah, like you said, the music's

1046
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:01,120
not bad, but it's just it's 
basically two or three tracks 

1047
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:07,080
that replay a million times. 
And oh, also this part right 

1048
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:12,840
here, the story of the game is 
played through the options menu.

1049
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:20,440
To understand what is going on 
in Superman, you have to go to 

1050
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:21,440
let's see, I'm gonna go back 
through. 

1051
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,320
When I went to option series, I 
think I was looking for the 

1052
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,560
controls, maybe by accident or 
not by accident but for like. 

1053
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,240
Story and controls. 
Story and controls is somehow 

1054
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:38,520
one together, why I don't know. 
And also both like the story is 

1055
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,520
in the options menu because when
the game starts, all you get is 

1056
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,240
Lex standing there with Lois and
whoever else is trapped. 

1057
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,360
Yeah, ha ha ha. 
Escape my maze. 

1058
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,840
You hear that? 
Last like my maze like. 

1059
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,240
OK, no, you will be. 
Amazed. 

1060
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,560
Oh yeah, we keep, we keep 
forgetting. 

1061
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,880
We keep. 
Where is I don't have that 

1062
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,320
beginning somewhere. 
Solve my maze. 

1063
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,840
Like, no, I'm not going to solve
your maze. 

1064
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,520
Anyways. 
If you really want to know what 

1065
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,400
the story is, they're like two 
screens of text. 

1066
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:09,760
You have to go into the options 
menu. 

1067
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:11,960
That's essential. 
That's and then it tells you 

1068
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:17,520
what the controls are, which are
like A and the joystick like 

1069
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:18,920
press. 
C. 

1070
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,600
And press B to fly. 
Yeah, that's it. 

1071
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:23,680
Yeah, that's all done. 
So dumb to. 

1072
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,640
Use your power ups. 
So dumb. 

1073
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,480
Yeah, 'cause that's in the 
comics, Superman has to pick up 

1074
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,680
badges before he can use his 
breath And, and he can that's, 

1075
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,320
that's Canon, really. 
It activates. 

1076
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,240
Breathe before he can just 
breathe. 

1077
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,440
Yeah. 
All right, everybody. 

1078
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,440
Superman 64 is not good. 
Probably not surprised by that. 

1079
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,080
But wait, wait, wait. 
Come on. 

1080
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:54,560
We got to sell this here because
I I think it's so bad. 

1081
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,120
You can find some entertainment 
in this. 

1082
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,240
Hey man, whatever helps you 
sleep at night. 

1083
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,880
Yeah, I'm just saying, yeah, 
get, let's get, get some 

1084
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,800
buddies, do the multiplayer. 
That was phenomenal. 

1085
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,280
Can. 
You imagine inviting some 

1086
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,880
friends over. 
Ever paid attention to that you?

1087
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,880
Wanna play some Maria? 
Party some Goldeneye? 

1088
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,680
No, no, no. 
We're gonna play some Superman 

1089
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,560
64. 
Guys cover car off. 

1090
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,600
Yeah, it's, it's it's retro 
multiplayer night, boys. 

1091
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,800
Let's go. 
Get your rubble packs in. 

1092
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:30,360
Is IT support rumble Pack? 
It does, yeah. 

1093
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,000
And you? 
Have to like pop the card, the 

1094
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,560
memory cartridge to pump in the 
the the rumble pack and it 

1095
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,080
prompts you every time you want 
to say. 

1096
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,920
It every time. 
Yeah, that's wild. 

1097
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,840
Yeah, the fact that I even used 
space on my memory card for this

1098
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:48,840
game was surprising. 
I'm not selling it. 

1099
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,120
Sorry, Jiggy. 
I'm not doing it, man. 

1100
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,440
It's not good. 
It's not Go. 

1101
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,080
Play it, it's great. 
OK, all right, You know what 

1102
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,200
everyone can it's it's also the 
best animation in this whole 

1103
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,800
game. 
Is the is the save screen where 

1104
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,360
you like it's the it's the 
brightest, most saturated, sort 

1105
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,680
of like that's the best view. 
Yeah. 

1106
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,920
Just his chest. 
Just his giant muscly chest. 

1107
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,760
I. 
Like these little Daily Planet 

1108
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,720
like news? 
Yeah. 

1109
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,000
Online like 90s web. 
I thought they were 

1110
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,760
interactable. 
I was like, there's a, there's a

1111
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:21,880
cursor there. 
Can I move? 

1112
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,240
I can't. 
I wish you good. 

1113
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:24,880
No, I don't know. 
Maybe give. 

1114
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,040
Maybe it would give you a story.
Maybe it would give you more 

1115
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,040
information or controls instead 
of having to press pause and do 

1116
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,960
story and controls. 
I don't know. 

1117
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:36,880
All right, we're all on the same
page aside from Jiggy. 

1118
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:42,040
Never mind, two of us are on the
same page, but go play it. 

1119
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:43,120
Go play it. 
All right? 

1120
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:44,880
All right. 
Some games are so bad they're 

1121
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,760
good but this is just bad. 
I mean you should play at this 

1122
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,520
to see how bad it is, but. 
Go play the sandbox, fly around,

1123
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,400
pick up a car. 
Yeah. 

1124
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,000
That's all you need to do. 
Yeah, that's all you. 

1125
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:57,080
Need. 
That's all I'm asking. 

1126
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,000
I'm not saying play through the 
story, I'm just saying. 

1127
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,400
Yeah, OK, fair enough. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1128
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,520
Don't do that to yourself, 
people. 

1129
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,000
Please, please be. 
A dolphin live as a dolphin, not

1130
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,680
just Superman. 
You're super dolphin. 

1131
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,240
Super Dolphin. 
Super Dolphin 64. 

1132
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:15,400
You heard it here first. 
All right, Jake, before we let 

1133
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,000
you out of here, where can 
everybody find your awesome 

1134
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,600
stuff online? 
Man, you got a great show going 

1135
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,040
on that I was on a couple months
ago. 

1136
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,000
I think it was a. 
February, Yeah, Yeah. 

1137
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,800
February. 
We talked about Best Sense 64 

1138
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:27,560
Games. 
I don't know. 

1139
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:28,800
Yeah. 
Well, I know. 

1140
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:30,880
Yeah, we talked about Best Sense
64 Games. 

1141
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,760
So, yeah. 
You can find my podcast, press 

1142
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,800
me to cancel. 
You can watch us over on YouTube

1143
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,720
or Twitch. 
We live stream on Fridays at 

1144
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:39,880
8:30 PM Eastern, or you can 
listen to the audio episodes 

1145
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,200
wherever you listen to podcasts 
on the following Monday. 

1146
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:43,920
So yeah, we've been doing it for
about four years. 

1147
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:46,920
And it's it's similar to what 
yourself do here, retro games, 

1148
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,160
although we don't confide 
ourselves to bad ones like this,

1149
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,680
although we we do talk about bad
ones occasionally. 

1150
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:59,560
I will say that that 64 episode 
was much more not contentious or

1151
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,160
or or anything like in a bad 
way, but like some of the titles

1152
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,320
that came up. 
I was like, how is are any of 

1153
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,600
you saying that this is not the 
game that should win this head 

1154
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,480
to head? 
Like it was just I was blown 

1155
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:10,960
away sometime. 
I know we both were in some 

1156
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,920
ways, but it was like, come on 
boys, I don't understand. 

1157
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,400
Why nobody picked Turok with me?
Turok is a solid game. 

1158
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,040
Nobody. 
Nobody backed me up on Turok. 

1159
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,080
I was kind of. 
Upset. 

1160
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:20,560
What was the? 
Game upset about it. 

1161
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,280
That was the secret one you 
pulled out, right? 

1162
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,080
Yes, Yeah, yeah. 
What was up against though? 

1163
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:26,720
That's why I don't remember what
it was. 

1164
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:31,000
It was. 
Mario 64 or Banjo or or Turok 

1165
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,560
and and nobody went with Turok 
and kind of shocked, I don't 

1166
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,360
know. 
Yeah, well, between those three,

1167
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,400
between those three, I'm I'm, 
you know, the banjo guy, but 

1168
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,040
Turok's not a bad game. 
It's not definitely not 

1169
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,600
something I'm going to I'm going
to bad mouth. 

1170
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,720
Not not at all. 
Not at all. 

1171
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:51,280
So listen to that hilarity and 
the best in 64 games, narrowing 

1172
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,560
them down from how many do we 
have like 12 or 10 or something.

1173
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,280
It was a decent amount. 
I. 

1174
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:56,880
Think we did. 
I think we did 10 for that one, 

1175
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,480
yeah. 
We were trying to keep it under 

1176
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,600
under two hours this time. 
So I think we kept it there 

1177
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:01,880
doing it. 
Did it tough. 

1178
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,000
Yeah. 
Well, it's, it's a big round 

1179
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,280
table. 
So it was, it was interesting. 

1180
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,560
It was fun. 
Brett, press B to cancel find on

1181
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,360
your podcast feed. 
And Jiggy, what about you, man? 

1182
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,800
What's what's happened over the 
last little while? 

1183
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:18,640
Oh man, just put out a defending
Starfox Adventures video that 

1184
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,520
was a lot of fun. 
It's doing pretty well. 

1185
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,280
Channels growing, ever growing. 
Did you look back on YouTube? 

1186
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,600
Because I always forget to say 
that. 

1187
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,240
Yeah, got some some cool things 
cooking. 

1188
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,600
I'm starting to get people 
reaching out and asking for 

1189
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,600
reviews on stuff on products and
games and things like that, 

1190
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,800
which is really cool. 
So I'll be doing some more of 

1191
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,440
that, kind of expanding what I 
do on my channel a little bit, 

1192
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,040
but not detracting from what I'm
doing, just in addition to what 

1193
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,720
I'm doing. 
So yeah, it's a lot of fun. 

1194
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:57,320
If you like Rareware Nintendo 
64, I make kind of theory videos

1195
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,680
and deep. 
Deep dives I would say. 

1196
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,600
Deep dives and all. 
Yeah, all sorts of stuff. 

1197
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,080
I've, I kind of. 
You ever think about the fish 

1198
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,560
food from Jet Force Gemini? 
Well, I have a reason why they 

1199
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,280
put the fish food in there. 
OK, even they didn't have a 

1200
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:16,320
reason. 
I created a reason but I backed 

1201
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,560
it up with points. 
Well, that that's the thing 

1202
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,680
that's not just shooting the 
shit for the hell. 

1203
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,360
Like if there's there's research
involved, everybody research 

1204
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,560
involved, the science, the 
science is real. 

1205
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:32,240
Yeah, yeah, watch my backpack 
video. 

1206
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,280
Oh, that's, that's a. 
That's a gem. 

1207
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:39,800
Math was involved in anything I 
did related to Banjo Kazooie is 

1208
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,040
hilarious. 
That's why it's worth a watch, 

1209
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:43,160
man. 
That's why it's worth a watch. 

1210
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,920
Check that out, Jiggy. 
Look back on YouTube.

That would be nice, but if you 

1214
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,040
don't like it, let me know. 
Maybe I'll make some 

1215
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,680
improvements. 
Maybe I won't because I'm tired 

1216
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,040
and I'm old and I don't have 
time, but just. 

1217
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,960
Give them five stars, because 
why would you? 

1218
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,120
Why would you be a jerk? 
I don't. 

1219
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:08,080
Yeah. 
Yeah, just yeah. 

1220
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:09,840
Or you could do that. 
Describe and give them a likes. 

1221

01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:26,160
some extra content when I have 
the time and all of that stuff, 

1226
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,280
videos and things early before 
they go up on YouTube. 

1227
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:33,680
All that stuff is on there 
anywhere from 1:00 to 6:00 bucks

1228
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,080
or five bucks a month. 
So pretty small and just keep 

1229
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,160
the show going. 
Help us improve things here as 

1230
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,040
we go as well. 
But that's pretty much it. 

1231
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:45,240
Find us on podcast feeds right 
across the the internets, as 

1232
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,720
they say say, that's what the 
kids say these days, don't they?

1233
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,200
That's it. 
Everybody don't play Superman 64

1234
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,640
unless you're jiggy. 
We'll talk to you next time. 

1235
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,440
Thanks very much. 
I believe they say the world 

1236
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,720
wide webs. 
Oh, that's what it is. 

1237
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,640
It's kibbity toilet web now or 
something. 

1238
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,000
