42:38 Cool aunt and Creative Director Marisha Ray walks in and secret two-year-old Travis Willingham immediately petitions for a peanut m&m gumball machine. Taliesin disapproves.
I was the first person to beat Dragon's Lair at my local arcade way back when. I won $100 in tokens. Needless to sAy, the guys weren't happy that a girl won lol. Thanks for the memory!
this episode perfectly shows one reason i love Mame drop. it feels like just some friends hanging out around an arcade machine and talking about games while playing together, with every once in a while someone else just sort of stops by and joins in to see what they heck they're playing and its great. and with the odd world that is these Laser Disc games of course 3 other people come by to see whats going on.
The voice of Dexter (the kid) in 'Space Ace' is Will Finn - he was an animator under Bluth and went on to be a lead animator at Disney in the 90's. He animated Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast and Iago in Aladdin!
Quite literally the first time I've ever seen Dragon's Lair played for more than a single run. It was always the four quarter machine that no one touched at arcades when I was young. Truly a wealthy man's game.
Crapshack dudes. I thought Liam was a little taller than average, so Taliesin is probably your average height... Travis enters frame. Shadow of the Colossus fight theme begins.
As a geek born in 1969, Dragon's Lair and Space Ace were perfectly placed to mirror my teenage "love life". I wanted so badly to love them, but they always left me curled up in a quivering ball of insecurity and inadequacy. Oh how I would love to see a more gentle Telltale Games version of these.
I remember Badlands. The only control is a single large button to fire your gun. You have to wait for the bad guy to start to draw, but still shoot before he does. If you shoot before he draws you get arrested and hung. Same if you shoot a civilian instead of an outlaw. It was a nightmare of split-second timing and I never saw anyone actually beat it. I remember being relieved when they took it out of the Pizza Hut I played it at and replaced it with Silkworm.
that's cagliostro's castle. the character design was indeed from Miyazaki, but the studio wasn't ghibli. a true masterpiece, a pinnacle of animated storytelling. also, liam's dad body. as it should be
Actually Castle of Cagliostro is by Miyasaki not just the char design (co-written and directed) and is his first long feature. I actually don't know if all the main characters were design by Miyasaki (castle of cagliostro is the third in a trilogy of lupin and the only one he directed/wrote). Cliff Hanger actually uses footage from both movie number 2 (Mamo) and 3 (Cagliostro)
The laserdisc games of my formative years! Thanks for checking them out and playing them for the camera. I remember when arcades would hook up a big TV on top of the Dragon's Lair machine showing the onscreen action, because of the huge crowd trying to watch the gameplay and memorize the moves.
I kinda love watching them play games, but the best part was probably Liam kinda listening to the Space Ace voiceover for a moment and then just starting to imitate it all the time. It's greeeat. The beauty of voice actors doing these things :D I do love it when some of the others just pop in and stick around to play some too. Makes it seem so much like a private gathering too. People just stopping by and dropping in and being a part of whatever i happening while telling stories. I LOVE this. And that racing game was.... weird... It LOOKS bad already. Ok, to be fair, every one of these look BAD. Wow. It's hilarious.
The three tracks in GP World are Fuji Speedway (Japan GP), Tsukuba Circuit (East GP) and the Yatabe Proving Ground (West GP), all in Japan. Yatabe closed after 2005, but the other two are legendary tracks still in use today. Travis might have recognized Fuji specifically because it's also the track famously used in Pole Position.
Talesin and Liam's friendship is so heartwarming. These eps are such a good sleep aid and I'm so glad to be able to watch them! Thanks for sharing your childhoods with us :)
"Cliff Hanger"--fond memories of "Starcade" when they did this game. It was based off of the "Lupin III" animation of the time, as it had Lupin/Cliff in a green jacket (later Lupin works would have him with a red one).
Ah! Couldn't have wished for anything better than to get home from work, dinner ready infront of the PC and my favorite people have uploaded a new MAME drop! Have a nice weekend fellow Critters and you other wonderful people aswell!
I adore these games. I recently repurchased them and powered through all of them in a weekend. I love this series, I could watch Talisein play arcade games with people all day.
I'm sure somebody in chat has already said it but in case it hasn't, that Japanese game show about fitting through the hole came to the United States for a very limited run. I remember watching it when it was new in the States
LIAM!!! you are my hero!!! Your reference to the first game being in a hotel lobby on the hudson reminded me of playing this on the ferry to Boblo Island, an island between Michigan and Canada that had an amusement park on it. Thanks for bringing back that hero.
I am not convinced that they are NOT all just a bunch of 12 year olds who got transformed into their older selves a-la classic movie Big with Tom Hanks, but they also time-traveled into our time somehow from their respective childhoods.
I love these guys so much, and I'm brought back to my time at the bowling alley on base in the Netherlands. I'd play video games in between bowling games or waiting for my ride. Such silliness. Want to see Laura, Marisha, and Mary play.
Dang Liam, you went to that restaurant on the Hudson? My dad told me about it, I thought it was ruined a long time before you were a kid, before my dad was a kid even, it's not more than ten minutes away form my house, and speaking of wrecks, yesterday I passed by the Marcal factory, it was on fire, the whole thing is burned to the ground, another historic building lost in NJ, hopefully they rebuild.
While they were playing that Cliff Hanger game, all I could think of was the little segment from that old KVIE/PBS show Between the Lions. "Cliff Hanger, hanging from a cliff, and that's why he's called Cliff Hanger!" XP
I used to have some sort of portable CDI with Space Ace and I was determined to complete it during our holiday; I drove my family nuts with the "I'll save you Kimmy! GET ME OUT OF HERE!". They've probably endured a hundred of those.
Dragon's Lair errored out and gave free credits at our local video shop in the 80's so we were able to spend all day completing it using trial and error and NO COINS!! yay!
Sorry, that was me! I would often drop into arcades and play Dragon's Lair to kill the local dragon while kids started gathering around me. I got to the point of being able to kill the dragon a few times without dying. One of my longtime favorites. I never got as good at Dragon's Lair II or Space Ace though. Cobra Command was another favorite.
That racing game that you guys played was awesome! The first track you played on is Fuji international speedway and the one you didn't play was Tsukuba circuit, both of which are great and pretty challenging Japanese racetracks. I have no clue where the triangular one you drove on is located.
All I want is a show with you guys ragging on voice over from the late 70s to early 90s MST3K style. The best parts of this episode were the comments and laughter around the voices.
I was *that kid* who beat Dragon's Lair. It's the only video game I was ever good at. I could get the highest possible score every time (play through until the very final screen, then deliberately die... twice... at the very last choice, then do it right the third and final time. It actually didn't cost me much money, because people would pay to watch me beat the game. It wasn't because I had good twitch reflexes -- in fact, I have terrible twitch reflexes and die regularly in first-person shooters -- I just was good at remembering the rooms (and when they were mirrored, which was tricky!) and what the moves were for each room. Good times.
42:38 Cool aunt and Creative Director Marisha Ray walks in and secret two-year-old Travis Willingham immediately petitions for a peanut m&m gumball machine. Taliesin disapproves.
I like that Marisha's response is just, "Yeah, that sounds fucking awesome."
The funniest parts for me are when the guys hear the funny voice acting and then proceed to copy it almost perfectly! 🤣🤣🤣
I was the first person to beat Dragon's Lair at my local arcade way back when. I won $100 in tokens. Needless to sAy, the guys weren't happy that a girl won lol. Thanks for the memory!
“Let’s get weird”
My longest running favorite Taliesin quote ever.
Hey, man. Life needs things to live.
Travis, to Taliesin: "Never thought anyone would accuse you of not going down"
@@leomonteiroart Timestamp: 29:28
I also love the addition: "...Think Alexander the Great was the last one?"
I believe it's reached catchphrase status by now
Same i have adopted it into my life
this episode perfectly shows one reason i love Mame drop. it feels like just some friends hanging out around an arcade machine and talking about games while playing together, with every once in a while someone else just sort of stops by and joins in to see what they heck they're playing and its great. and with the odd world that is these Laser Disc games of course 3 other people come by to see whats going on.
Liam doing the Space Ace VFX is hilarious. He was born to say “Kimb-uh-lee , wahhhh!”
please when covid is over bring this show back, I love seeing them just hang out and play video games
The voice of Dexter (the kid) in 'Space Ace' is Will Finn - he was an animator under Bluth and went on to be a lead animator at Disney in the 90's. He animated Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast and Iago in Aladdin!
got to love Travis' dedication to get that gumball machine; and that the moment Marisha heard it she was completely on board lol
GODS i love that cabinet of yours. Its so funny to just see you all SLOWLY gather at it even as the episode airs just to join in the shenanigans.
Quite literally the first time I've ever seen Dragon's Lair played for more than a single run. It was always the four quarter machine that no one touched at arcades when I was young. Truly a wealthy man's game.
Crapshack dudes. I thought Liam was a little taller than average, so Taliesin is probably your average height... Travis enters frame. Shadow of the Colossus fight theme begins.
Loved how everyone just showed up to hang out and play 😂
"don't give him sugar, he will just be unmanageable" goth dad speaks truth!
This episode made me realice that we need more Travis in this show
As a geek born in 1969, Dragon's Lair and Space Ace were perfectly placed to mirror my teenage "love life". I wanted so badly to love them, but they always left me curled up in a quivering ball of insecurity and inadequacy. Oh how I would love to see a more gentle Telltale Games version of these.
That would be Awesome indeed. As it is I have Dragon's Lair for the gamecube which being animated transferred excellently.
"I'm Liam O'Brien."
"And I'm Taliesin Jaffe."
Me: *Looks around nervously, preparing for Sam to strike at any moment*
Edit: 41:37 AHA!
Travis making car noises gives me life.

“The Secret of NIMH” was a great movie (although nothing like the book). I was shocked when I found out Wil Wheaton was the voice of Martin.
Wait, he was?
@@tuesdaynext7370Yes, and Shannon Doherty voiced the older sister Theresa.
Aaaand now my train journey sucks less! Thank you Liam and Talisein
That sam in the thumbnail tho
Creepin on his husband
Ikr
OH DAMN, I didn't even NOTICE him! 😲
I didn't even notice him until I read this comment. He rogues well

@@TheMrKayako ok i may have gotten it wrong. an amazing movie nonetheless
One of my favorite Lupin 3rd movies!
According to the IndieGoGo campaign, the Don Bluth Dragon's Lair Movie project was 206% funded, after the Kickstarter failed. It might still happen.
You guys gotta do an episode on games the cast has been in!
Yes!!
41:35 "Mom said its my turn on the xbox"
0:10 I do appreciate a good knuckle crack. This one's an 8,3/10, for sure.
Oof that was satisfying
Damn
Ahh yes the old tale of the lone gamer walking into town and setting things right with the gaming world....It's High....**BANG!**
I love that the other cast members just wander in to see what's being played.
I am so unreasonably obsessed with this nail polish of Taliesin's. I am like a magpie, I can look at nothing else when the light hits it.
KIMBERLY ARE YOU OKAY?!
GET ME OUT OF HEERE!
IM CAMMEN FORE YA KIMBALEE
@@timcox5373 Actually, it's, "I'LL SAVE YOU KIMMY!"
I love that the last 20 minutes just became Sesame Street where every friend just pops in to hang out.
That's wholesome AF!
Okay so this is now my favourite episode. Laughed so damn hard at this. Their reactions at everything is just perfect.
The laserdisc games of my formative years! Thanks for checking them out and playing them for the camera. I remember when arcades would hook up a big TV on top of the Dragon's Lair machine showing the onscreen action, because of the huge crowd trying to watch the gameplay and memorize the moves.

And that racing game was.... weird... It LOOKS bad already. Ok, to be fair, every one of these look BAD. Wow. It's hilarious.
I love that the 1984 racing game has "1984" written twice at all times on screen just in case you forget what year it was made.
I refuse to believe this was 5 years ago
The three tracks in GP World are Fuji Speedway (Japan GP), Tsukuba Circuit (East GP) and the Yatabe Proving Ground (West GP), all in Japan. Yatabe closed after 2005, but the other two are legendary tracks still in use today. Travis might have recognized Fuji specifically because it's also the track famously used in Pole Position.
I can't help but respect the audacity to turn Lupin III into a game and just rename it like that.
Talesin and Liam's friendship is so heartwarming. These eps are such a good sleep aid and I'm so glad to be able to watch them! Thanks for sharing your childhoods with us :)

36:28 is also me making those sounds when it comes to racing

Ah yes...my second favorite part of having Thursdays off
I did a double take of the thumbnail and jumped halfway to the ceiling out of my chair thanks sam
Fun fact: The kid from Space Ace was voiced by John Mulaney, further proof that he is immortal
LIAM!!! you are my hero!!! Your reference to the first game being in a hotel lobby on the hudson reminded me of playing this on the ferry to Boblo Island, an island between Michigan and Canada that had an amusement park on it. Thanks for bringing back that hero.
I love how casual this is! I'll watch everytime
36:39
Top notch voice acting from Travis. Love you all.
I am not convinced that they are NOT all just a bunch of 12 year olds who got transformed into their older selves a-la classic movie Big with Tom Hanks, but they also time-traveled into our time somehow from their respective childhoods.
I love these adorable people
I love these guys so much, and I'm brought back to my time at the bowling alley on base in the Netherlands. I'd play video games in between bowling games or waiting for my ride. Such silliness. Want to see Laura, Marisha, and Mary play.
25:53 ah yes my favorite movie; cliff hanger in the castle of stern electronics
these episodes keep getting better and better!
I remember these games,, the only way to win was not to play.
Dang Liam, you went to that restaurant on the Hudson? My dad told me about it, I thought it was ruined a long time before you were a kid, before my dad was a kid even, it's not more than ten minutes away form my house, and speaking of wrecks, yesterday I passed by the Marcal factory, it was on fire, the whole thing is burned to the ground, another historic building lost in NJ, hopefully they rebuild.
18 minutes in... "Oh Hai Travis."
While they were playing that Cliff Hanger game, all I could think of was the little segment from that old KVIE/PBS show Between the Lions. "Cliff Hanger, hanging from a cliff, and that's why he's called Cliff Hanger!" XP
This episode was fucking weird and I love it xD I expect to see that Gumball Machine in the next livestream Marisha...
When I saw the thumbnail in my email inbox, at first I was like "that's a really cool picture of Taliesin"
Then I noticed Sam...
The arcade cop lol hahahaha that was amazing
I miss this series
A few months ago I had the pleasure of finding a working "Dragons Liar" at a local gaming bar in Kansas City. Such a fun and rage inducing game
please tell me I'm not the only one that has a crush on Liam?
I think its an unspoken fact that everyone has a crush on liam
Yeah, pretty much a unspoken fact.
i'll be honest, i have more of a crush on Taliesin
Taliesin is adorable... but Liam **happy sigh**
My bisexual heart can't handle watching any of the content because the entire cast and crew is made up of crush-worthy people.
New life goal: play Us Vs Them.
For Liam: Don Bluth animated "The Secret of Nimh." That would be why the animation style seems so familiar between it and "Dragon's Lair."
I love Tal's naaaaiiilllssss!!!
“Kimbahley” was voice by the same lady who did Leela in Futurama :)
I hope that Liam does the Space Ace voice for a future campaign/one shot haha
I used to have some sort of portable CDI with Space Ace and I was determined to complete it during our holiday; I drove my family nuts with the "I'll save you Kimmy! GET ME OUT OF HERE!". They've probably endured a hundred of those.
Yes, always happy for more MAME Drop! Loving Travis as well, would love to have him back :)
"What kind of rattlesnake does that to a horse?!"
Travis asking the real questions
watching these lads hang out is great
Dragon's Lair errored out and gave free credits at our local video shop in the 80's so we were able to spend all day completing it using trial and error and NO COINS!! yay!
I just love how everyone else just keeps slowly joining them xD
This is enjoyable. I love seeing them play other games too.
This was awesome in turned into an great party. So freaking arcade!!!
Being a kid named Dirk during the height of Dragon's Lair's popularity was interesting.
Cliff Hanger straight up using scenes from two Lupin III movies and renaming him, Jigen and Goemon as Cliff, Jeff and... Samurai.
42:42 hey mom can we get this super cool thing for our basement? Please mom!
13:51 is the time of the funkiest dancing known to man.
I've never noticed the O'Brian chub before. It's cute
dad bod
All that good holiday eatin'
I love mame drop! It always takes a little bit to get into, but as soon as crewmembers start making guest appearances it AWESOME
Seeing how pretty Taliesin's nails are made me paint my nails while watching this.
I love that everyone is coming in
Taliesin's face on the thumbnail brought me here.
Travis wanting to turn this set Into his dream basement set up is so fucking wholesome. Like a kid planning out his dream house.
Sorry, that was me! I would often drop into arcades and play Dragon's Lair to kill the local dragon while kids started gathering around me. I got to the point of being able to kill the dragon a few times without dying. One of my longtime favorites. I never got as good at Dragon's Lair II or Space Ace though.

45:26 Wasn't expecting that
Holy cow, Space ace... I forgot it existed!
Mame drop is quickly becoming one of my favorite series.
You guys need to watch Lupin the Third, series and movies.
42:20 all we are missing are Laura Bailey, Matt Mercer and Ashley Johnson
Dirk the Daring kind of has Matt's face. Might make an interesting cosplay. While Talesin screams at a console I'll save you KIMMIE!
That racing game that you guys played was awesome! The first track you played on is Fuji international speedway and the one you didn't play was Tsukuba circuit, both of which are great and pretty challenging Japanese racetracks. I have no clue where the triangular one you drove on is located.
Oh my god. I didn't know any of these games, or this entire subgenre, ever existed. This is amazing.
