Never beat that rom, go figure...
A few tips: I think Arin's orange creatures in the cargo hold kept dying because he had the mutation set to max. So they were super unstable and all died. Next, turn down the speed when you're working, as there's a time limit to how long they'll let you make creatures before each battle. You're losing a lot of your precious time just hovering over menu buttons with the speed on max. Take your time to freeze the creatures (and timer), click on individual creatures to check their stats, and build walls/inject new creatures as needed. THEN turn up the speed when you need them to proliferate. Increase the space you have, so your creatures have more room to procreate. As you saw, towards the end room really ran out. So creatures will starve and die. Try to focus on making stronger creatures in each Stat. So try and inject creatures with high points in half of the stats, and have them breed with creatures that have strength in the other half. Offspring usually don't see an increase in a Stat, so you get high stats by breeding creatures with high x with high y, now you have something high in x and y. Keep breeding the best offspring until you have creatures high in all your desired stats. Although, as you saw, go too low in things like eat and they'll die before they can mate. Consider making separate populations good at different things. Fighters on the front line with high rage, strength, and stamina. Breeders and eaters on the back lines that will proliferate your army once your front line dies. Get creative with the Stat combinations to see what is more successful. When you get creatures with good stats, section off the good ones to let them keep breeding more with similar stats. If they freely mix with the whole population, your stats will most likely level out again and you will lose those high numbers. While they go at it in a separate area, you can keep experimenting with the rest of the creatures to make more combinations. Remember, high mutation levels let you have a chance at random high stats, but equally may result in random low stats. It's a gamble every time. Be sure to make good use of the noise and decoys on your enemy in battle. And I'm sure it's obvious that you need to optimize location of creature and food deployment so that you aren't overwhelmed or left starving. I'm personally a fan of what Arin did, start by using the laser to command your creatures to eat and mate, build up numbers, and then you can focus on attacking. I haven't ever tried the strategy of dropping rage food in the middle of enemy territory, but honestly that might work!!! I hope some of that helps!
This is pretty standard for an RTS. They just started off not knowing a damn thing and screwed themselves over, especially when Arin threw the majority of the army into the center of the enemy to get obliterated.
Wow. This game is something else. You MUST have had to use a manual or something. There is no explanation for anything. Just pure trial and error; push a button and see what it does.

The acting is actually pretty damn good for one of these old games. Looks like something I would have played the heck out of back in the day. I played a Jurassic park game that kinda feels along these lines. u scanned barcodes for DNA to upgrade ur dino. Was the dopest game and im amazed there's nothing similar for phones using the camera.
Those early 90's radio accents were like that specifically because the equipment couldn't pick up the voice well if they didn't speak with a higher cadence. I'm willing to bet this game was made using the same solution.
Interesting... (I assume you mean a higher pitch). A similar audio related thing from old games: In the Star Wars movies, the Rebels communicate over a radio with a very distinct sound. It turns out that Lucas Arts achieved the effect by putting two old (at the time) military/trucker/boat/etc radios in different rooms, playing the raw audio into one, and recording the output of the other. I think that is just how those old vacuum tube radios sounded, but maybe it was a specific type/brand/etc. So, years pass. Lucas Arts starts work on the Rogue Squadron game on the N64. They want to use the system's new wav audio playback feature to play autio of your squadron talking with you. They wanted to be able to tell you your mission through spoken dialog instead of a dialog box, so they knew they could not just recycle sounds from the movies. They tried to find an audio filter to reproduce the sound, but nothing available at the time was even remotely close enough to the authentic sound that everyone wanted. So they had to get the radios from a museum or something, and did the exact same setup Lucas Film did in the 70s, but with digital equipment on either side of the radio.
"What is the scale here? I thought we were looking at a petri dish, or something." ... I mean, an aircraft carrier is basically just a really big petri dish...
On the second island I think the speed difference between the creatures is what screwed them. The oranges have really high speed, but their greens are very slow. Green can kill orange in large numbers because they have high str/stam but can't do it quicker than orange can mate because it takes too long to catch them compared to their numbers.
“Hello and welcome to another weird episode of game grumps where we play a game that I vaguely remember from my childhood” I love that we are going back in time to when that’s all they used to do.
I'm really curious to see what this looks like with a better understanding of the gameplay now. Of all things, I certainly wasn't expecting this to turn out to be a real-time stragedy game.
It came out in 1993. The same year as Doom, Mega Man X, Mortal Kombat 2, Super Mario All-Stars, Sonic CD, and Kirbys adventure. All these franchises are still publishing games.
@@kevinsargent ok? But most MS-DOS/Commodore games were one and done. PC games had a hard time getting around till the internet came to be where it is now for distribution. Unless it was a game that blew up such as Sierra games such as Kings Quest.
@@kevinsargent I'm not entirely sure what your point is. Are you saying that because something doesn't do as well as another title that it is automatically not as mind-blowing as that more popular title?
I actually really like how distorted the in game dialogue audio sounds coming through my phone speaker tbh. Vaguely reminds me of radio chatter in Ace Combat
Dans reaction to Arin "getting him" in the first 5 minutes had me stop the video cus I was laughing so hard. Like, we all have that friend who, once you get them with their own joke, will make it their lives mission to get revenge for like a month.
So let me get this straight, a lady scientist runs off with a bunch of creatures all ready to breed? And this game *is not* a recent release from a Japanese company named Empress?
The weirdest game like this I've ever played was like a 14th century, ship trading game. Where you had to choose what country you were aligned with, you get a boat and some goods and you have to trade with other countries. But it's all historically accurate, and you got to make trade routes based on prevailing winds and ocean currents. I played it because you could build cannons onto your ship and build an armada to fight pirates, but I think that's only like 40 hours into the game. It was waaaaay too involved.
"Can I look? Can I see?" Hmm... If only there was a button somewhere on the screen that said something like that... Maybe "Observe"? Or "Contemplate" perhaps?? Dan's inability to read a UI and use context clues to figure out a game is so frustrating sometimes.

Hey guys. Since y'all are playing old games, there's one specific point and click adventure game I used to play a bunch that I really think you'd enjoy. It has everything. Odd solutions, weirdly educational tidbits about parts of the world, MsPaint musical numbers and poop jokes. It's called The Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink. I'd love to see how you two handle a magical ninja princess mermaid.
I loved this game as a kid! It's kind of cool to see it being played. I was immediately like Hulks, Slugs and Zips! I did manage to breed the white creature (Beast, I think) once. Zips were my favorite and I confused my elementary teacher with my drawn pictures of them.
Arin: *_"What's the spaghetti in a can called, again?"_* Dan: *_"Spaghetti-Os?"_* Arin: *_"No."_* So, I'm guessing Green Giant isn't the name of those cans with green beans in them?
"Borf said that he isn't familiar with the game he just said that he has a clear understanding of things in general..." Damn what I wouldn't give to be that guy
I mean all the answers that Borf gives them are just... things you can understand from watching the game and paying attention. And I get that they're focused on riffing and not thinking hard about the game but... that's all it takes.
I love when Dan gets legit mad he busts out the real harsh name calling lol. I mean what other times has he ever called Arin a cocksucker? Reminds me of when Arin at one point in Monopoly get so mad at Dan he calls him a dipshit.

I'm betting this was one of those games that had a HUGE manual that you were expected to go over carefully before playing
Oh yeah this came with a manual the size of a phonebook
It was a Maxis game, so this was basically a creature version of Sim City. So yeah, had to have a bible-sized manual for sure!
I just looked it up and it's 134 pages long. The text is pretty big, but still it's really big for a game manual.
You're telling me we didn't read the manual

I loved this game as a kid! It's kind of cool to see it being played. I was immediately like Hulks, Slugs and Zips! I did manage to breed the white creature (Beast, I think) once. Zips were my favorite and I confused my elementary teacher with my drawn pictures of them.
Lust, rage, and bran are the three fundamentals of living creatures
all part of a balanced breakfast
'Drugs, sex & rock and roll'? - Nah, gimme some of that sex, violence and fibrous diet.
@@dreadharte9746 I don't really need the violence, but I'm way into Rock'n'roll, sex, and digestive health.
I love Arin's "Why doesn't this audio from 1993 game sound good in 2021!"
20:12 I swear to god all I hear is "LOADING POOPS"
I also have to say: dan having his childhood games on is awesome as fuck
Arin: *_"What's the spaghetti in a can called, again?"_*
Dan: *_"Spaghetti-Os?"_*
Arin: *_"No."_*
So, I'm guessing Green Giant isn't the name of those cans with green beans in them?
Dan going "Tommy?" to the unmoving monsters really got me.
Can't wait for the grump clip at 6:00 that just says "Dan has had enough"
"Borf said that he isn't familiar with the game he just said that he has a clear understanding of things in general..."
Damn what I wouldn't give to be that guy
I mean all the answers that Borf gives them are just... things you can understand from watching the game and paying attention. And I get that they're focused on riffing and not thinking hard about the game but... that's all it takes.
enjoying the very quiet trumpet when Borf talks
Yeah why is that? I don't understand. Does Borf want to be anonymous?

That was just a Charlie Brown bit, you know where in Charlie Brown, the adults talk like that.
I like how they literally made a wall of bodies and it basically ended in a draw
Im actually weirdly crazy interested in this game, thanks grumps for adding on to my obscure knowledge of wacky games
You can really see how Arin is the video game boy when he kinda figures out the game faster than Dan, who had played it before
5:12 GOTEEM. Well done Arin 🏆👏
I love when Dan gets legit mad he busts out the real harsh name calling lol. I mean what other times has he ever called Arin a cocksucker? Reminds me of when Arin at one point in Monopoly get so mad at Dan he calls him a dipshit.
That moment when they harmonized their "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAHH!" was so good, I love when they do that shit 😂
@@homelessbonelesspizza same 🤣 reminds me of the "THX" moment 🤣
and the "OOOOOOOooooohhhhhh...."
"You put the food right in the center of the other army, Arin! You made them stronger than ever!"
Props to Boruff, for finding dans childhood fun and giving us more nostalgic Dan
10:25 I love that synchronous "OOOOOOO GOD!" XD
God, I would give anything to see them play FTL since Dan wants to play more strategy games. It doesn’t take that long and it’s so good
I don't know if they could even make it to the "end" of FTL, let alone beat it.
I feel like they'd be right at home with any of the Humongous games (Backyard Baseball, Spy Fox, etc.)
Makes me wonder if Dan has played Lost Eden? Story driven, has talking dinosaurs
all your creatures seemed to have stopped moving when you activated "M.P.R." Hope this helps!
Sometimes I think they give a chimpanzee a dart and and a huge dart board of games to play and just see what happens.
Next: "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" for the Sega Genesis.
*Sigh* a man can dream.
