As the kid attached the artifact I was saying to myself, "wait- is that kid about to make a hot tub time machine??" Yep, someone involved with the movie definitely played this game.
@@patrickglaser1560 I *am* adding something to the conversation. I'm pointing out how you probably shouldn't use the word "literally" unless you actually think through what you're saying.
I could believe that Christopher Lloyd is a 437-year-old time cop from 10,000 years into the future. He is that awesome. Also, 10/10 ending with that information about what a constitution is for. :D
The Glixers are destroying the fabric of space and time by kidnapping famous scientists! All he needs is: your credit card number, the expiry date and the 3 numbers on the back
they should just be honest with us from the beginning and tells that thenoise is actually the recording of satan's orgasm, since everybody knows that's how they make those discs...
Man, I was watching some of your really old videos yesterday, and it's crazy how far this channel has come. Just wanted to say I feel glad, and a little proud, that a channel like this has risen so high from your constant hard work and dedication over the years.
Fun fact, this isn't Lloyd's only foray into the world of education. He was also the voice of The Hacker in a program that aired on PBS about computers and mathematics.... But it sounds like he's not in the same room while he recorded...
@@AgsmaJustAgsma I would think he might, or at least I wish he would. Sadly games in that style have been gone for so long I don't see them coming back to the series.
@@AgsmaJustAgsma apparently he already shot some stuff for Toonstruck 2 though, there was a bit of it in the trailer for the original game that was never used.
Happy Edutainment Month, LGR! I always love seeing what games you've got in store for us this time of year, and this was an awesome way to kick it off!
Thank you so much for making this video! My parents got me this game when I was 6 or 7 years old. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work on our PC for whatever reason. So I would just read the manual, play with the CD and admire the lovely boxart. I always wondered how this game actually played. This was a real treat!
I see so much crappy negative content on youtube and then bam..... LGR videos get suggested and I can visit this channel to calm down and forget about the world... thank you Clint for all the awesome and chill content you create!
I'm so glad you mentioned Toonstruck in this video. You said it wasn't that obscure (admittedly, it's probably not as obscure as games like this), but I rarely see anyone talking about it.
This could mean that the LGR channel inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance. Almost as if it were the junction point for the entire space-time continuum for retro tech and games! On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence.
I played this one as a kid. It came up randomly in my memories while talking with a friend about games we played in our youth; I was looking for it on an abandonware site and couldn't find it anywhere! No worry, this video has taken me down the memory lane I sought to visit. It's actually very nice to learn that the card game was random, as a kid it was very frustrating and I didn't deal with frustration well; probably one of the main reasons I stopped playing was that card game.
Amazing! Looking forward to the Edu-Game series. I had a lot of great educational dos games that I played when I was younger, and I hope you cover a few of them!
I'm here for my second Edutainment month! So many titles you have covered in the past from my childhood visa via elementary school. Oddly, I can't wait to see what you have lined up.
Cant believe Hot tub time machine is a repeated idea. This blew my mind lol. Also yeah...Christophers voice is strangely high pitched. Maybe it was to make him sound like an alien and they sped it up? Sounds weird for sure.
The 90's just felt like a whole world ago! Everything was fresh and new, Everyone could afford basics like a house, food and power. Wood paneling was still around, we were all pretty happy. Now we all have supercomputers in our pocket but can't afford electricity or houses. and everywhere fells like a doctors office.
Oh Clint of LGR, a sneaky 11PM upload. How nice for me to then fall asleep. Thanks for the videos mate. You've come a long way since the beard ;) glad I could be part of it.
As a professional puzzle maker and editor the Word Scramble was particularly intriguing; it's what is usually called a Filippine but instead of having to write/type the letters, it's a (ridiculous) anagram type puzzle instead. Never knew this existed, TIL :) Thanks!
I bet a lot of us were hoping for Christopher Lloyd to step out of the computer into reality. “Am I right or am I right? Don’t give me right if I’m not right.”
When I saw the room with the candle sconces on the wall, all I could think was use your whip, there may be upgrades. I may have played a bit too much Castlevania as a kid.
Oh wow, I just remembered it's been another whole year and it's edutainment month again! Great to see it back, though I didn't expect it to come back so quickly, lol
My parents tried to get me Pickle Wars as a kid. The case said "Pickle Wars", the disk said "Pickle Wars", the startup said "Pickle Wars." It was actually Doom.
Between the Hot Tub Time Machine angle and lloyd's comment about constitutions, did somebody working on this game know something we didn't 25 years ago?
Hm... I missed hearing about this game company back in the day. I noticed a couple of mistakes in the game. At 9:56 the text shown was "The Chinese had already" but Lloyd read it as "already had". At 10:58 the text had some problems with the wording as it had "the time from the when the" and "formed to 600 million years".
Alternative title: Old man hires young kid to fight aliens with kid/French-like accents. Also, 10:05 I knew that reference. It’s my favorite movie of all time.
Man this entire review through I've been thinking "These puzzles are almost identical to the way The Fool's Errand and At The Carnival did puzzles" and 'lo and behold, Clint ends up pointing it out as well! It's really too close to those to really be a coincidence I feel.
If I had to guess, I'd say the high pitched voice was a result of the compression. Either as an unintended side effect, or done to make him easier to understand (some voices don't play nice with compression).
I was just checking out a fairly obscure CD-based hentai game yesterday, called "Mamatoto - A Record of War" from 1999. Surprisingly, despite being 640x480, the art has really stood the test of time! The soundtrack is pretty good, too! (The music is how I discovered it.) As for the odd voice acting, perhaps the audio was compressed, by pitch-shifting it up, and shifting back down, during playback? That kind of compression was pretty common, back in the day. (It was used on several 8-bit/16-bit consoles, as well as personal computers.)
Lloyd's voice is has gone through some faulty Dynamic Range Compression and has given it a higher pitch as a result. This was common in voice over recordings for years. The Simpsons have been heard with the same high pitched tones for a long time because now we can't imagine their voices being lower (though we get to hear their natural pitch during live shows.)
Whoever wrote the script for Hot Tub Time Machine probably played this game as a kid but thought they were coming up with an original idea and didn't remember this game too well.
We used to play a card game like that at scout camp, it was called Mao. It was best played with four people who knew how to play and two who didn't. Actually a lot of fun in real life.
This sounds like something right up my alley... if it didn't have those minigames and had a smoother screen scroll. And if Christopher Lloyd was full FMV.
This reminds me of the computer game we played, that I hope you can get a copy of and review sometime, called "Team X-treme Weather". It's a point-and-click and not as interactive like this one, but every part of the game were puzzles. I still have our copy from back then, it's magical 😂👍
His voice lines might've been higher pitched as a result of them speeding up the sound files so they would be shorter to make them smaller in size and easier to get onto the disc maybe?
So the idea for Hot Tub Time Machine was stolen from a game with Doc Brown? Great Scott!
KAL EL Whoa...mind-blown moment.
This is heavy!
Is there also an edutainment title on a plane...with snakes?😉
Who said Hollywood is out of ideas?
As the kid attached the artifact I was saying to myself, "wait- is that kid about to make a hot tub time machine??" Yep, someone involved with the movie definitely played this game.
I was hoping Christopher Lloyd was gonna appear in FMV sequences, not static images and a voice that sounds like someone trying to impersonate him
Same
@@patrickglaser1560 No, the audio quality is still better than what you'd get over a phone line
@Gareth Fairclough Kruge? Is this a typo, a slang term I've never heard of before, or are we talking about the killer from Last House on the Left?
@@patrickglaser1560 I *am* adding something to the conversation. I'm pointing out how you probably shouldn't use the word "literally" unless you actually think through what you're saying.
Look into Toonstruck, it's a point and click adventure game where your character is played by Christopher Lloyd.
I could believe that Christopher Lloyd is a 437-year-old time cop from 10,000 years into the future. He is that awesome. Also, 10/10 ending with that information about what a constitution is for. :D
Time cop from 10000 years in the future... I wonder if he works with John Barrowman
Attention all retro gamers: Christopher Lloyd needs your help!
The Glixers are destroying the fabric of space and time by kidnapping famous scientists! All he needs is: your credit card number, the expiry date and the 3 numbers on the back
No! Not my Great Scientists! How will I ever win my science victory now!
So he can totally nae nae on those Glixers *dab*
Gotta help Christopher Lloyd achieving that victory royale.
Agreed
"Thanks Professor Plum" ... Excellent reference to Christopher Lloyd's appearance in the Clue movie.
WARNING: Whatever you do under no circumstances should the audio on this CD be played or else... you'll hear a strange noise, you have been warned!
they should just be honest with us from the beginning and tells that thenoise is actually the recording of satan's orgasm, since everybody knows that's how they make those discs...
Strange and _loud_. Ever actually listen to a data track? That stuff is seriously uncomfortable.
kiraina25 Does it destroy the disk?
@@androzani It doesn't directly cause any damage, but there's no telling what you'd do after hearing the noise.
I got that warning in an early Playstation game and for years was terrified that attempting it would wreck the disc, player or both.
That high pitched "Great Scott!" had me dead 😂😂😂
Just imagine that high pitched doc brown voice in the entire movie haha.
Is this maybe the PAL version or something?
Same!!!
I know right? Laughed my ass off at that one.
I don't know why, but the pitched "Great Scott" at 7:04 really got me
Never clicked so fast for a RUclips video... I mean: LGR, Christopher Lloyd, Science and Edutainment in a single video... Feels like in heaven!
Why does my comment have no recognition when I commented super early?
Because you commented during a time-space continuum influx, before RUclips was created and we are just now reading it.
@@aiden_macleod So technically its like white noise?
Clint's alliteration doesn't get enough credit.
Was looking for this comment.
9:30 Give me a Tab... Alright give me a Pepsi Free... Just give me something without any sugar.
Edutainment Month. Where your eyes are drawn to the word "Dysentery!" on the title screen...
EVERY FRIGGIN TIME
Man, I was watching some of your really old videos yesterday, and it's crazy how far this channel has come. Just wanted to say I feel glad, and a little proud, that a channel like this has risen so high from your constant hard work and dedication over the years.
"Caalllm your tentacles, your Mushiness!"
*X-Videos watermark scrolls by*
Did you see where its tentacles are? it makes totally sense to me LOL
@Josh Jacobs join us
@Josh Jacobs What? No, X-Videos was another edutainment game about how VHS tapes work. The same developers did a farming-based game called Goat SE
I'm so here for Edutainment Month 2019.
holy ghostridingthewhip, wasn't expecting PBG here! hello!
i guess Im pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Edwin Ishaan flixportal :D
@Maverick Kaden Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!
@Edwin Ishaan happy to help xD

C Y B E R C H A S E
Cyber Chase! Also starred Gilbert Gottfried.
4:38 Oh no. If Halflife has taught me anything they're screwed.
yeah half life 1 is a 3D remake of this game; crowbars, aliens, rescuing scientists, ...
Oh man, that ending zinger from Christopher Loyod is awesome! :D
Ah yes, Christopher Lloyd, famous for his amazing performances in Food Fight featuring Charlie Sheen.
I wish I was joking.
Man's gotta eat
I'm pretty sure he wasn't too proud of that performance. That movie was horrible.
Lolz, I wasn't ready for that high pitch "Great Scott!"
Christopher Loyd is amazing! He was in Toonstruck, REVIEW TOONSTRUCK!
Transilvanian Hunger it was my first thought
Pushinguproses has a great video on toonstruck already...lgr probably doesnt want to step on her toes.
It's too bad that the Toonstruck sequel never happened. If it happens, Chris Lloyd would probably refuse to reprise his role due to his age.
@@AgsmaJustAgsma I would think he might, or at least I wish he would. Sadly games in that style have been gone for so long I don't see them coming back to the series.

Just wanna thank you for all your videos, I really love being able to see some of the old games I used to play brought to light! LGR you duh man
Happy Edutainment Month, LGR! I always love seeing what games you've got in store for us this time of year, and this was an awesome way to kick it off!
I think I'd prefer a DeLorean over a wooden bucket of water to travel through time!
This makes me so glad your channel exists! The type of content I need. Revisiting old friends.
100% this inspired Hot Tub Time Machine *and* probably Rick & Morty, yet none of the writers will even remember playing this.
I always wanted a game about a little weather experiment.
Thank you so much for making this video! My parents got me this game when I was 6 or 7 years old. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work on our PC for whatever reason.

Would be hilarious to watch back to the future with his voice pitched up like that lmao.
"Remember me, Eddie?! When I ------- your brother, I taLkED JUST! LIKE! THIIIS!" 🤣 #judgedoom
I'm so glad you mentioned Toonstruck in this video. You said it wasn't that obscure (admittedly, it's probably not as obscure as games like this), but I rarely see anyone talking about it.
My favorite time of year for LGR! Can't wait to see what neato edutainment stuff you've dug up this year.
I really appreciate the quality videos that you consistently put out. Keep up the good work!
I love the old edutainment videos LGR! I know the full edutainment month doesn't hack it but I'd love a one off review of an edutainment game again.
This could mean that the LGR channel inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance. Almost as if it were the junction point for the entire space-time continuum for retro tech and games! On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence.

2:56 It's 640x480 in 256 colors, which means it's not VGA, but SVGA. VGA could only go as far as 640x480 in 16 colors.
LGR, science, Christopher Lloyed, what more could a 90's kid want ? :)
Dunkaroos that's what else.
Christopher Lloyd's voice sounds like the same voice for Young Emmit Brown from the Back to the Future game from Tell Tale Games.
4:42 The two boys sitting at the counter have the pose of 45-year-old truckers.
Least the aliens don't know poetry 😂
"My Dad's crowbar is missing"
Maybe Gordon Freeman took it?
The 90's just felt like a whole world ago! Everything was fresh and new, Everyone could afford basics like a house, food and power. Wood paneling was still around, we were all pretty happy.

Great Scott! I love LGR videos, but the Christopher Lloyd factor made this one irresistible.
love the intro graphics, and love edutainment month cant wait for the next one
It begins! Happy Edutainment Month ya'll!
ew
I spent SO many hours playing Pickle Wars.
Christopher Lloyd? Okay, then I have to do this.
Professor Graham, watch out! A POISONOUS time-traveler!
Alternative title: Old man hires young kid to fight aliens with kid/French-like accents.

Yeah the similarities to those Cliff Johnson puzzle games is seriously high, so if it _is_ a coincidence that's just wild.
He was in Toonstruck as well, one of my favorite titles of all time.

That 90s clipart style box art. Love it.
I feel Clint is becoming more jaded with RUclips.
Damn near pissed my pants when it was the sped up great scott
Had a game in mind that I played when I was younger and I never manage to remember or find it online.
Turns out it was Pickle Wars.
Huge thanks!
For love of God give us more tech tales!!!! 😉 great video by the way.
Sweet. Looking forward to Edutainment Month every year.
xD The speed up "Great Scott" gave me a chuckle.
I screenshotted the word searches and found all words. No blood, thanks for posting!
Nice reference to Cludeo for Christopher Lloyd as he played Professor Plum in the Clue Movie
There was actually a video game based of the "Connections 2" documentary series, done with quite a lot of FMV. Interesting if you can find a copy.
Haven't thought of Pickle Wars in almost 25 years...WOW!
Edutainment Month my favorite things to see on LGR
So basically the developers were high AF haha I love it
Pickle Wars was AWESOME! That game should get a HD remake :p
Such a strange story in that game.

I remember this. I always had to have my friend beat the dumb card game for me.
It's Marvin! Your cousin, Marvin Berry. You know that new CD-ROM you're looking for?!?
I demand a Toonstruck review and lazy play through!
Keep up the good work Clint :)
Oh boy, theese are the quirky games i look forward to each year!! WOOT WOOT!
Whoever wrote the script for Hot Tub Time Machine probably played this game as a kid but thought they were coming up with an original idea and didn't remember this game too well.
somehow when i think Einstein and Ailens, i naturally think of Christopher Lloyd as well.
We used to play a card game like that at scout camp, it was called Mao. It was best played with four people who knew how to play and two who didn't. Actually a lot of fun in real life.
Ah that 90s serif print... So beautiful and elegant
Oh Trepidation! is my new favorite exclamation.
Oh, I remember Fool‘s Errand. That was rather obscure indeed.
Damn, those aliens knew Gordon Freeman's only weakness!
The way that box picture was in the light that looked like Dr.House almost, That must be a OLD Picture.
Back to the Lazy Game Reviews!
This sounds like something right up my alley...
if it didn't have those minigames and had a smoother screen scroll.
And if Christopher Lloyd was full FMV.
Heck yeah! Perfect way to spend the bus ride home
Pickle Wars? Oh my god, I remember playing Pickle Wars. You should totally cover that game sometime.
This reminds me of the computer game we played, that I hope you can get a copy of and review sometime, called "Team X-treme Weather". It's a point-and-click and not as interactive like this one, but every part of the game were puzzles. I still have our copy from back then, it's magical 😂👍
HOORAY! EDUTAINMENT IS BACK! Now if we can get some new LGR Thrifts...
His voice lines might've been higher pitched as a result of them speeding up the sound files so they would be shorter to make them smaller in size and easier to get onto the disc maybe?
