Great review as always, especially from FMV Hell. Can't wait to see your pumpkinhead review.

Also good to see you feeling a bit better.

Oddly enough when I clicked on this I though it was a repost of Spoony's Nightmare review

Simply masterful review Spoony. I've missed FMV Hell, and I too am glad to see you're feeling better. That game sounds boring, yeah, but I'd probably still buy it to have as a curio amongst my other games. What's it going for on ebay?

By the way, I hope you get to that review of the Clue game that came with a VHS. My sister and I actually found the video pretty entertaining, and would often watch it without playing the game.

Can't wait for the Pumpkinhead review! Happy Halloween!

Until then, Im gonn' go make waffles!

Without a doubt of my favourite Spoony videos EVER! I loved the banter between the Gatekeepr and Spoony, and the Gatecleaner was awesome. I hope he pops up again from time to time.

I will agree with you about the limited replay value. I think I was around 10 when it came out, but even back then I didn't see the point as the video wouldn't change for each game. Granted some of my friends claimed the Gatekeeper would break the fourth wall to some degree, but I never believed them.

Funny and great cameo appearance.

It's good to hear that you feel better, Spoony ^^ Great review!

Can't wait to see the sequel review :D

Glad to see you back in FMV hell.
But my God that game looks horrendous. The odds of doing some things are insane.
Hell, I've made a better board game in school when I was in fifth grade.

It never ceases to amaze me just how many companies think that board games are still a viable medium.

Don't get banished to the BLAGGOOLLLE!

Love the video and the Lee cameo, dude. This is why I ignore board games that require VHS tapes.

The Black Hoe??? :huh:

THE BLAGOLE

I suppose the Gate Keepaaaaghhh is scarier than the Crypt Keeper.

Hey, I wanna be on the front page too! Anyways, I love your reviews. I can't wait for the Pumpkinhead review because I actually had that crap of a game!

The Black ole.

Priceless.

...

Admittedly, the Gate Keeper was scarier when I was only 10...

I could not stop laughing at the Gate Keeper's spiel.

Oh and nice "Fugitive Alien" reference at the very end.

Hey Man, Nice video it was pretty funny.

But I hate to be 'that guy' you got a few things wrong in your review. Nightmare, was originally called Atmosfear. The title was changed to Nightmare when it was brought to the USA and Canada. Then when the later games were released they changed the name back to Atmosfear to keep them straight... its kinda of confusing. There is actually a huge cult following to these games that I was/is a member of. I tried to find the link for the site so I could shed a little more light on these old and classic games, but it seems the most accurate website for all the info has been shut down. Oh Well... All in all your review was quite enjoyable and can't wait to see how you review the other ones.

I think this Halloween season I might bust out my own games for a little Nightmare.

Lee does a brilliant GIR impersonation.

Spoony, no matter how bad things get in the blagole, stay alive. We will find you!

Haha!

I got this for christmas or my birthday in the early nineties.

It's still somewhere on top of my wardrobe. And guess how many times I played it? No: ONCE!

I remember the instruction manual telling you to turn the volume all the way UP on your TV set. Sucks if you forgot to turn it back down before you switched the channel after playing it (that one time). -That- would really scare the crap out of you. I'm sure that was their evil intention. Probably happened to me.

Since I'm from Germany I had the german version, the box and all was the same design but the name was "Atmosfear". The VHS was done in german too, no dubbing, it was all done with the same voice-, light- and makeup-effects just a different guy.

It was on my birthday I finally had enough friends over at the same time to force them to play it with me.

I believe for one of it's sequels there was actually a commercial on TV years later. So they must have had some kind of success with it, despide the low-to-non-existend replay value.

Wasn't the gatekeeper also rushing you at the end of the game?

Since it's been so long I could actually play it once more, ha, a game that you can play every 15-20 years. Too bad I lost all my friends that night...

Looks like a fun game to play :woohoo:
Can't wait for the Pumkinhead land!!

Hah... I used to play a ton of FMV games... as you aluded to in the video, Phantasmagoria 2 A Puzzle of Flesh was good.

But for me the best horror FMV game out there is still Shivers II: Harvest of Souls

Great FMV Hell review, Lee is king of the staring contest, he made the Gatekeeper cry!

Spoony, you have a board gaming club? Then you should definitely check out the podcast: "D6 Generation" (if you havn't already) They cover wargames (like warhammer) boardgames, some video games, and RPG's too. In my opinion they are among the best podcasts on the net, and they have been going strong for some time, along with their fellow podcasters in the wargamer's radio network. They're really good, pop into itunes and give them a listen

Wait, in then intro...is that a it is lol its a dungeons and dragons book lol

Atmosphere is what we had here in the east coast of the states. That game actually fixes a few of the things that nightmare gets wrong. Plus you can fight the other players to take their keys. Oh and that's a impressive 2nd edition box set shelf you got there. I wish I had been able to get ahold of some of those way back when.

lol then you obviously dont watch spoony's reviews much cause he did a lets play of that game and hated it with a passion

omg i actually remember playing this game at my friend's house... that gatekeeper seriously had given me the spooks.

I loved it. The "Funniest Person to Follow" title is yours!

Ah, this game.

I still have it as well. It's residing under my bed, along with other stuff that I couldnt fit into my wardrobe or cupboards.
