#MDK #Shiny #TheCompleteHistory
Fun story... Back in 1995, I ran a fanzine called Video Vision. I was about 15 years old at the time and would receive free games from various companies to review in my fanzine. One of those companies I reached out to was Shiny Entertainment. I received a nice letter and some promo materials from them, but what was best of all is that David Perry used to call me randomly over the course of about 2 years and just chat with me about various video games things, upcoming projects, etc. I'm not sure why we ever stopped chatting or why he chose me to talk to, but it's a memory I'll never forget.
Hehe, yes I remember! Those were the days!
Great to see a reply from you, David. Ever greater that you remember! Those were the days indeed!
@@DavidPerry. hail to you king
Wow, such a nice job on this! A friend just sent me a link. Our team had so much fun making MDK. Thanks for doing all this research!
David Perry
P.S. Thanks for keeping the ending a secret! Rock on!
Thank you ever so much for taking the time to comment on this video. I am a big fan of your work! :D
MDK was amazing, yall did great. Loved playing on Dreamcast.. great variety, fab character and environment designs, loved the humour
Thank you dude! What a legend!
I played MDK for the first time a few months ago and can confirm that it still holds up really well! I had a blast playing through it! Everyone on the team deserves all the praise they can get
Really great stuff!!
MDK was the most 90s third person shooter ever made.
For years I thought this game was a figment of my imagination. I had vague memories of the character and his weirdly shaped head. I could not remember the name of the game so I could never find any information about it. I was thrilled when I actually found it years later and got to play it again confirming I was not crazy.
Replaying MDK 25 years after my first experience with it during summer of 97.
Still in awe of the games disctinct artstyle, unique vibe and freaking amazing soundtrack.
YES!! Holy crap I love this game! It came as a pack in game with my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick back in the day along with Interstate 76.
Those were the days. Sidewinder still feels best.
I got those pack games with Sidewinder too. Still working great on playing classic FPS/3rdPS games today.
Totally forgot I even had the sidewinder until reading this comment. Though I never paired it with MDK.
M-any
D-idn't
K-now
how fun this game is.
Something that could be said about a lot of games shiny made
The readme file on the CD says MDK means whatever you want it to mean, but the handbook (not the manual) that came with the boxed version suggested MDK stands for "Mission: Deliver Kindness."
So true.. I loved it as a kid but my friends never knew about it until I showed them
@@thatfield977 it's "Murder Death Kill" spoken by Sandra Bullock in my head. The Game actually comes up on Google if you type out murder death kill too
@@thatfield977 Oh. I always thought MDK stood for "Max, Doctor, Kurt"
I still love the artstyle of the original MDK in particular. There's something about it that manages to look both futuristic and retro all at the same time in the best possible way!
I still remember the sound design all these years later. One of the first games I ever got my hands on.
I remember being at a friend's house and seeing he had MDK2, I never realized the original got a sequel. Immediately asked my parents to get it for my birthday. Was sorely disappointed by the sequel's aesthetic. Lacked the grit of the original. And didnt at all care for the parts where I was forced to play as the doctor or dog (despite liking them as characters).
This was one of a few games my dad had on our PC, I can remember playing this when I was like 5 or 6 and I never had any idea how to save the game, so each time I played it I would just start it over from the beginning. 😂
I never realized he took the gun off of his face to use on his hand.
How could you say Cool Spot was a greater memory than a game?! Cool Spot is great!
Cool spot brings back so many great memories 😀
To me the best MDK meaning has always been "Mahogany Door Knob", which is visible in the background of the MDK2 W95 installer, IIRC. Max Doctor Kurt is also unironically a good one.
MDK is one of my all time favorite games. Born in 92 and played it the year it released on PC (cause my dad played it) and then again on PS1. I've played it every few years since.
No game has the feel the original MDK had.... that includes the sequel.
One of the most highly underrated games of the 90s.
And that soundtrack will always be 🔥
I really love the whole aesthetic these games have. It's like Quake meets The Jetsons.
I remember I was home sick during a bad flu and felt pretty crappy. Then my Mom came home from "grocery" shopping and gave me a copy of MDK2 she bought for me as a surprise "pick me up". I remembered that game for years until I was bouncing around GoG and saw them. Immediately bought both it and the orginal instantly, installed them and had just as much fun as an adult as I did as a kid those years go (If not more so.)
Wow, fantastic work. You can tell a lot of time went into this one. The new bells and whistles to the editing were a great touch.
These games were underrated. I loved the premise of roving death machine cities and how cutting edge being able to zoom in and snipe in the first one was on PS1. Then the second one was an essential Dreamcast title imo.
So much nostalgia with this one. My bigger cousin had a pretty good computer at the time and everytime my family visited them he let me play MDK or Quake.
I only had the slow computer of my dad and i didnt get any games for it so seing and playing something like this with my cousin opened up a whole new world of 3d for me.
Subbed. This was amazing. I prefer the DOS version myself too - it has a particular feeling to it that I can't explain, in comparison to the PSX version.
Wonderful job!
I remember playing MDK as a kid with my brother. Amazing game! This vid brought back a bunch of great memories :D
So let me get this straight: The original concept art and ideas for MDK didn't make any sense and yet these are coming from the same guys that worked on a game about a worm that uses a powerful space suit to rescue Princess What's-her-Name from an ugly slug queen.
Yeah.....let that thought sink in.
Thats correct... except for her name is actually "Queen Slug-for-a-Butt" (for real)
@@Shazamatazz Actually, her full name has several gross adjectives included in there as well
Yeah, if the weird guys who specialize in weird games every day design something they think is weird you get MDK
My mind is blown learning that the same ppl made Cool Spot, Earthworm Jim & The Neverhood lol that's literally 1/3 of my childhood right there
💯🖤
I bought MDK not long after release in an old big form box for PC. It was batshit insane, but it did so brilliantly. Good memories.
I always felt that the funny comedic points if the game clashed with the HR Giger aesthetic. But the game was smooth as butter and made you feel invincible. Really fun game.
Man I love MDK, it's one of my favorite games. It would be nice to see this game getting a remake or at least an HD re-release to make it run better on modern systems and add some things like widescreen and 60fps, it would be awesome.
MDK is probably my all time favorite video game. I used to play it on PC with a Microsoft sidewinder joystick. It was fantastic! The controls were so intuitive. When you twist the joystick, the character rotates. When you move the joystick side to side, the character sidesteps. The game was erie but fun. The graphics were way ahead of their time in my opinion. I really wish they had made a movie about it.
MDK2 was the start of my gaming career. The time spent being a part of the team, making that game, is to this day, the best and most fun experience Ive had in gaming.
Russell Rice, the art director, was the real reason why the game feels the way it does. His humor and personality are all over this game. He slept over night at the studio more than once to squeeze in something new that was not even suppose to be in the game but he made it happen. The conehead window washers for example. Or after max crash lands into the alien ship impaling a conehead, all Russ adding stuff to the game. Remember the WASSUP Budweiser commercial? Well Russ put together a little animation to the audio of the commercial one night just for fun. He was that committed to the game.
Of course Greg Zeschuk was also a massive part of feel of the game, and more so, the gameplay. He would play the hell out of it, trying to figure out how he could make it more challenging to play. And just how far he could push the player to insanity. I remember chatting with him when he had the programmers make the platform at the top of the atomic reactor break when the player finally reached the top, only to fall all the way back to the start . He thought it was hilarious! LOL The game had a ton of talented people involved with it. Casey Hudson was even responsible for making content, level 5 boss as well as all of level 8. Lots of great times and laughs. Getting to draw those loadscreens was a joy, if you look closely you can see me (the muscle man) in the left corner :P
As usual your video was excellent, well done!!!!
Interesting video. The graphics give me an early Timesplitters vibe, yet the gameplay looks quite unique from any other shooter. Might be worth watching a Lets play or something if i can find one.
Dood yes. I love both Time Splitters and MDK. The sniping in MDK is unlike any other game.
It's nothing like Timesplitters. It's better than that.
God MDK was so good, you are right that there has not been anything since that captures that magic of this game. There is just something about MDK that you don't really understand until you play it
The step up in production value is definitely noticed 👌
Appreciate this mate
My dad brought this home at some day for our mac. I still was a kid and quite disturbed by the weird visuals of the game. Loved it anyways. MDK was years ahead of its time.
MDK2 is and always will be my favorite videogame ever. I know it's simply nostalgia but it's merits stand by themself: it has fun story, funny dialogues, extremely solid gameplay, agoraphobic and detailed atmospheres and, cherry on top, one of the most kickass rave music in space in videogame history.
This game popped up in my memory, so I decided to look it up so many years after playing it. I was surprised at how stylish it is, and how it actually still holds up in many ways, there's so much variety. Also can't believe they did such smooth "in-between-level loading" that early.
Amazing episode! I'd love an MDK movie made by Luc Besson, it has such Fifth Element vibes
another remarkable feat of this game was that it ran smoothly on any cheap "family" computer of the time, my sloppy 486 could not handle Duke Nukem 3D very well but MDK ran flawlessly 👍despite being a newer game
You should do Legacy of Kain series. To this day Soul Reaver is still one of the my most favorite games.
This game deserves a remake along a direct-sequel to MDK 2.
Damn, great job with this! So well-researched and thorough -- very satisfying for us cult followers of MDK. :) I'm surprised and impressed around how many quotes, stories and background drama you were able to unearth!
I played this on a PPC (pre-intel) Mac. I think it was bundled with them at the time.
Hey I was wondering can you make a complete history of bonanza bros? The game in my opinion is absolutely great!
I'm surprised you didn't dive into the graphics a bit more. They were revolutionary for the time. I seem to remember the texture resolution being so high that no video card on the market could run it on highest. Each individual ground texture was something like 640x480. Basically the Crysis of 1995. I love MDK and have always had a fascination with it. Something about the character design and the gunhead is so unique and creative, even to this day. I originally played it and beat it on Playstation and had heard the PC version was kind of legendary because of how good the graphics were. I don't think any of us realized your character was a sprite! We thought the computer was pumping out movie quality CGI! Plus, any true gamer from the mid 90s knew it was absolutely nothing like Doom and it was the true next generation of 3D *gameplay*.
we need a remake or remaster of this masterpiece
Great video! I love the MDK games! By the way, I don't know if you've done it already, but could you do a video about the Legacy of Kain series?
This video got me thinking of Shiny/Interplay's 2000 release "Messiah." Is that on your radar to do a video on?
MDK is on GOG if anyone is interested in checking it out.
I loved this game so much. I spent much more than 4 hours playing it, it was one of the first games that I beat, and I wish that I still had the disc.
MDK was a thing to behold with a 3DFX card and is rather enjoyable to this day. I remember picking it and Blood on the same day!
My favourite game of all time! The demo was bundled into my Packard Bell Win. 95 machine, along with The Incredible Machine, Swiv 3D, and Adiboo! Hey.. How about the complete history of Adiboo while we're on it? 😋
This is one of the top games I have ever played. The humor was brilliant. I played it on my old 150 MHz pentium pro. Such great memories!
my small 7-year old brain exploded in several different ways upon seeing this game for the 1st time, the entire "experience" started with the CD disc itself which had gorgeous artwork, same with the manual with concept artwork that instigated the imagination even more... Then, you barely load up the game and the Menu in itself was already making your jaw drop with such presentation and the soundtrack on it... Wow, just wow... 10 out of 10 masterpiece 🤘(PC table speakers of the time had lots of bass which helped a lot too)
I remember this game pushing my PC to the limit being able to snipe peaples eyes out
Yeah, the second level boss literally requires you to shoot out his eyes.
I was about 8 when this came out, i remember my sisters boyfriend at the time had it, I played it once and I enjoyed it but only played for half an hour, I wanted to play it again but hed always say I had to play some of another game fist so I never did get to play it... I thought i remembered what it was like, and upon seeing these turns out i dont remember a thing. i think i have the issue of false memories, I know for a fact it was MDK that i wanted to play, but i think i twist parts of this game with Soul reaver, both games I haven;t played in forever but Reaver being my own game, I played more of
Also can we take the time to remember Earthworm Jims N64 game? it was so good, id give anything to play it again
Thank you, My first PC game!
So glad to hear you talk about the WiiWare version, I remember reading about it in Nintendo Power
Yeah, there was supposed to be a "Descent" port on WiiWare as well, but Interplay unfortunately went broke before they could finish it.
Personally I think MDK 1 is better than the sequel. PC was the best way to play it.
_NEEDS_ a remaster/remake!
I've only done the sequel because it was on Dreamcast.
@@rainehappy7097 Dreamcast 4EVAR.
It would have to be a remake and one with a ton of new content. Otherwise, a remaster for $10 or $15. A remaster wouldn't have enough content for a $30 to $60 price point in today's market, imo. Maybe if they sold a remaster with both 1 & 2 it would be worth 40 bucks? 🤷♂️
@@anubrakahn2970 Hey DOOM does it with the N64 port.
@@rainehappy7097 for 60 bucks?? I thought it was like 10 and free if you pre-ordered DOOM Eternal.
It's really fascinating how much it looks like modern 3rd person action games.
Earthworm Jim! He saved the episode!
Earthworm Jim! His head it might asplode! _[sic]_
I loved the original, it was my first PS1 game and as a teen it was the game all of my siblings agreed to since parents could only afford a single game along with the system.
But I tried playing MDK2 recently through emulation and just couldn't like it. Didn't like the new comic style, the more colourful scheme and especially hated the new control setup. No in depth controller adjustable options either. Couldn't believe so many people liked the sequel, I found it unplayable.
Brilliant game!!! I have finished MDK about eight times. And when i managed to configure mouse and keybord WASD modern way it's surprisingly easy :-)
I first met MDK 2 on a Dreamcast demo disc. Played it quite a bit on there. Eventually saw it used for a couple bucks, and being 11 at the time, had enough collected couch-change to grab it. I love that game. I've never been able to get the PC version of MDK to work though :( I know I could play the PlayStation copy, but I want to play the PC version first.
The MDK ending music video was the weirdest thing ever
the full colored video ending is on youtube now from the original band
This game definitely deserves a remaster or remake for PS5 and virtual reality. Using the coil suit in virtual reality would be an interesting experience.
It’s H.R Gee-gur, not Guy-gur as in a geiger counter. Please reupload this video with the correct pronunciation. Thanks.
I was jus thinking about this game at work recently. From that 1st cutscene skydiving into the 1st level, this game exposed me to something different years ago. This video is epic to a fan like myself.
I felt sic and got nightmares because i played this game nonstop as a kid. I kind of had Halluzinations after like 10 hours straight and i had to vomit. My father didnt want me to play the game further on . But i played it anyway. After so much years have past i still get those sic Nostalgic feeling when i look at this game. I even rembember the smell of the pc box
When I first heard MDK in the movie Demolition Man and they said "Murder. Death. kill." I was like, "Oh that's what it stood for!!" Yes, I was a bit of a moron.
I never knew that the first MDK was not done by Bioware. I remember that line in MDK: 2 with the aliens attacking Edmonton ( the City I live in and I went to the university that the doctors both went to). I thought Bioware release Shattered Steel in 1996 as there first title. It was a mech title. I remember my pops friend showing the game and said it was made in Edmonton.
This game was the best game I played in the late 90s. Going back to it like 20-someodd years later and if it wasnt for the godaweful controls since ive been blessed by mouse and wasd, this game still fucks.
I loved this game. Loved being able to use sniper rifles and also throwing grenades felt really good. Loved the start bit where you're sky diving. Will never forget it
Third time I’ve watched this video! I thought I was the only one that remembered this game. Also that’s an awesome shirt, any idea where I can find it. (The anime one)
2:07 It almost became a movie?!
10:58 So that's how you get the gun off!
14:20 Oof!
21:29 Awwwww,maaaaaan!
29:26 Hated those guys!
To play this game again!
man that was awsome. i love mdk. when i played it in 1997 i thought i was watching a movie. also my fav band are nirvana and naked is in my top 10 movies ever. so now it all makes sense, thx!!!!
Bruh I never played the game but watched someone else play it as a kid, I didn't remember the name but the one thing I remember from this game was the scientist saying eureka I've made toast.
never finished it as a kid but it is a badass game!!!!
I instantly recognized the game when I saw a small piece of it, i didn't remember the name but thankfully it had the name with it.
Wild hearing parts of the ALIEN 3 soundtrack in the first look presentation for MDK
I used to play it every year and finish this game on Mac, but sadly now it's not supported. A game that is purely fun and with that design and sound track is perfect game.
My gay ass saw that 'guy lying prostrate in skintight black latex one leg extended ' logo on the 90's shelf and bought it faster than flies on poo.
I couldn't believe the drawing distance and the sniping. I had never seen something like that. It was like witchcraft.
@24:30 Edmonton, Alberta! Me and my cousins used to laugh our assess off when we were kids at that scene. Finally! A game that takes place in our own home! 💎
MDK it is good. but MDK 2 is a master piece.
I've got 2 on the Dreamcast I think. Need to dig it out. I'm gonna install the first one on my raspberry pi tomorrow
i agree- just recently made it to the last boss on DC after owning it since launch! music is sublime- introduced me to Jesper Kyd's amazing library.
The design reminds me more of Keita Amemiya rather than Giger. The main character looks a lot like Zeram/Zeiram.
I own the ps1 version of the first game and from what ive played its certainly interesting.
I still prefer mdk1, the sequel lost that dark visual style that the original had.
how tf do you go from funni spaceman with a worm for a head to one of the many games with the sickest aesthetics in existance
I used to have the DOS version of the first one back when I had my windows 95 computer back in the 90s. I enjoyed the game, I haven't played it in a long time
Fantastic job!! Thanks for the memories!!!
Pre-ordered the amico today... how about a new MDK for that?
If you love those games you should interview Tommy Tallerico
Probably one of the “first” PC games (excluding Keen, Stunt Race and others) I played after deciding the N64 was my last console. Spectacular game. And also lovely that no 3D acceleration required.
I remember MDK 2 HD was originally released as an exclusive to the Beamdog launcher, named after its studio which was founded by BioWare people. Hardly anyone found out about it so it ended up releasing on Steam less than a year after.
But I also recall it being a buggy mess at launch and for example when I fell into a void after missing a jump, I respawned within that same void, camera still stuck watching from above, rather than being brought back to the previous platform, effectively soft-locking me.
It also has audio glitches, like music playing where there isn't supposed to be, or even the wrong track on occasion if I remember right. I also noticed many visual oddities, like the original in the cutscene on the Jim Dandy when Kurt is getting ready to dive for the minecrawler at the start, the gun is on his head, yet strangely in the HD version it's BOTH on his head and his arm. I've also had the hud decide to just show up whenever it wanted to randomly as well. That's the one part I'd argue against on this episode, that for PC the best way to play MDK2 is the GOG version, the original graphics actually hold up fine.
What's that T-shirt you have on there, looks pretty cool
Got it from vapor95 Use code SlopesGameRoom15 for money off :D
So awesome. Just sitting here thinking we need a remake!!!
My uncle was the artist that did the box art for this game!
Every time someone mentions MDK, I say; _Non, Non Rien n’a changé_ !
So nice to see these two amazing games get some love. Unfortunately many have forgotten about it and its a hidden gem. We brought mdk 2 along with our first ps2 way back in 2000.
i still have the soundtrack cd here
all those amazing reflective environments were amazeballs
My mate got MDK when it came out for ps1 and we had a blast with it over a weekend. Decided to get a hold of both games a few months back and I regret nothing, great stuff!
I use to think I was the only one who fucked wit MDk
I'm a simple man, I hear Monkey Island theme song, I Like and Subscribe.
We would get along very well
first 3D game to have a zoom to snipe opponents.
