@2computer1 Yeah I meant to mention that. The antagonist behind all sorts of stuff in the game is named Omigosh. The thing shown in the video is "Not-Omigosh". It's great.
@VintageJunior Well, I'm just going on what the game setup and documentation itself refers to as "16-color EGA, compatible with VGA", but yeah I know - considering nobody should give a crap about what's technically CGA+ in a simple review of a simple puzzle game I don't think technicalities are worth mentioning in a short video, so calling it EGA should suffice :D
I played this game 16 years ago and loved it, and since then have wanted to play it again so much, but could not for the life of me remember the name. You seriously don't know how happy you've made me!!
@kinmanyuen Boulderdash, without the physics/gravity system. It does have a very similar method of gameplay otherwise, and as such I found it more comparable to Chip's Challenge rather than Boulderdash, Repton and the like.
Damn. I would have never thought I'd play the game but looking at the this video, memories! I had forgotten that I had played this game but I have! I love your videos because they bring back my childhood!
Upon re-watching your earlier videos, I have to say this is one of my favorites. You've nailed the humor here, and all of your deliveries hit the mark pretty much perfectly. The video is also very educational, as I had to look up Dagon and inadvertently learned about another ancient deity ;) I never played Paganitzu, but even without any nostalgia for it you made me want to try the game out. Thanks!
Paganitzu, Xargon, and SimCity 2000 comprised a bulk of my gaming childhood. This was my first "real" game and thus will always be super nostalgic. My little 8 year old head could beat about 17 of the 20 rooms. I wrote to Apogee and they sent me back with cheat codes to skip the levels I couldn't beat. A few years l buckled down and was able to figure out all the rooms. The last one to be solved was room 19 (I think). The one where you had to part the "Red C." Wanted to break the keyboard over that one.
Fun Fact: Indiana Jones was originally called Indiana Smith, but Steven Spielberg asked to change it to Jones before filming started on Raiders. I wonder what the protagonist of Paganitzu would be called if they went with Indiana Smith for Raiders? Alabama Jones? It sounds like a Jazz singer.
I played a game titled Alabama Smith, but it was a point and click game where you jumped between modern day and Pompeii right around the time the volcano was going to blow.
"Playing Paganitzu more often than not is like dating an intelligent, independent woman; It ends up being more of a test of the mind rather than just how good you are with your fingers." Those are words of pure genius!
Clint, I loved the Doom 3 (I think) Reference. That was awesome. But seriously, is there really an issue with 486 or higher machines? I used to have it on a Pentium-class
What's the source of the video clip you show when you try to use a joystick with a 486? I've seen that clip before in a Doom WAS, and now I wanna know where it came from.
Paganitzu has adlib support. I don't know why the version you played didn't allow other. However don't expect a lot from the adlib mode because this aint commander keen it's pretty minimalistic.
Alex Smith the CD seems to be a re-release from 1994, if you check www.mobygames.com/game/dos/paganitzu/cover-art you can see the original 1991 release is on a floppy. Also I checked some old gaming mags and the first add I found for a soundblaster card with cdrom drive is in the December 1991 issue.
I got the first thing that could play audio cd's in 2004. I bought my first computer with a cd rom in 2006. Until then I had an old IBM model 77i. Man, was I poor.
Also wouldn't the CD-ROM have a swath of other shareware titles on it? Seems kinda odd that they wouldn't do more with it. (My Terminal Velocity CD from Apogee was packed with all kinds of interesting shareware, most notably Duke 1, 2 & Wolf 3D but I also played the whole Hocus Pocus shareware ep.)

Whenever I watch LGR, I find video I have not yet seen, awesome!
Holy smokes. I just remembered this little gem from my childhood, before remembering you made a review of it, Clint. Hard to believe its been 6 years.

@hoques1432 It is, it's from one of the C64 Indy games, can't remember which
Wow I used to play this and never could remember what it was called. Thank you LGR
Damn. I would have never thought I'd play the game but looking at the this video, memories! I had forgotten that I had played this game but I have! I love your videos because they bring back my childhood!
We had this on our school computer's in middle school. I remember fondly playing this once I completed by lessons.
Please delete that inappropriate apostrophe.

Haha thanks, I'm glad these old ones still hold up for someone!
@@LGR really the only thing holding them back is 12 year old A/V equipment
I retroactively miss the intro too lol

Even in old games, I've never seen someone with such red skin
We had a disc of this as well, but we had no clue where from.
Now 15 years later I can actually see what the game was all about.
It's actually 25 years later! :)
Francisco Fiuza Jr 15 years for me ;)
I had this game on my first computer... My mom and I both loved it!
3:39 LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats funny!

Great review! Are the older floppy disks more durable then CD-ROMs??
PAGANITZU !!! lol my bro and i used to play this for hours.. GREAT GAME !
Good review! I used to play the shareware game all the time as a kid.
Alabama Smith kinda reminds me of Guybrush Threepwood
I played a game titled Alabama Smith, but it was a point and click game where you jumped between modern day and Pompeii right around the time the volcano was going to blow.
1:14 - He looks like 8-bit Guy LOL

I'm in the comments to find out, =).
Doom 3
what technique is behind the floating cpu in the beginning?
i played this in the old days.. its like boulderdash
Fuck yessss i used to play this when i was 3 years old my older sister would always help me thru the last levels 🤣
"Alabama Smith" This is what passed for humor back then, kiddos.
Paganitzu has adlib support. I don't know why the version you played didn't allow other. However don't expect a lot from the adlib mode because this aint commander keen it's pretty minimalistic.
Alabama Smith might just be giving his middle finger to the enemies that can't catch him.. hmmm, Cool review as well.
Nice work - I always loved this game, but only ever had the shareware version.
Is it possible to get Chaganitzu anywhere these days (legally)?
Is the Indiana Jones theme in the background a SID remix? I'd love to know :D
Cool review, as always man!
Haha Alabama Smith? Jesus that's freaking hilarious.
This was a sequel to Chaganitzu, which was so hard that this game suggests you are at least a teenager before playing it.
I really like the lizards and skeleton lizards!
So it's Adventures of Lolo: the Indiana Jones Edition. Cool.
Was that the warp from doom 3 I saw in this vid?
an IBM steampunk heart monitor actually sounds pretty cool
We had this in computer tech class in middle school
This kinda, sorta, reminds me of the Adventures of Lolo.
"You don't have to play Chagun to play Pagan. Megan, Dagun, Carl Sagan!" Lmao.
@ 5:05
Yes LGR, i love doom 3 aswell, why dont you do a review of it or a LGR plays?
I miss this intro
Nice Painkiller Refrence!!!
before your reviews i never heard of apogee. lol.
@ 5:05
Speaking of doom 3, can you do a video on doom 3 please? pretty please?
Good review.
+1 for the Doom 3 effect at 5.03
And at the rhyme ( 2.34 ) I'll add Ronald Reagan :]
In the early 90s I used to play this while listening to Metallica.
Lol the main character looks like 8 bit Guybrush Threepwood
0:31 the answer is finally yes
wow there was CD in 1991 , did anyone even have a CD ROM then?

Carl Sagan :)
take me down to paganitzu city lol
you need cd's when floppy version don't work anymore
Ah the days of getting CD's filled with all sorts of shareware games.
3:00 just like Sim Life Classic & Sim Farm Classic they both are infinitely small.
3:40 oh boy that joke did not age well :D
fingers?
Actually, that's not EGA, that's CGA+.
- smartass mode off - - abbrevation mode on -
Good, favourited, 5 stars.
lmao i remember playing the shareware version ;D
LMAO!!! Great Job brah!
I found a this for sale for 2 dollars
Jewel of '"he Yucatan" makes no sense since Yucatan isn't a river like the Nile or the Ganges.
Frahamen But a rose is a stone?
I will never understand why anybody, ANYBODY liked Avatar. It was a pile of shit and didn't even look that good
Alabama Smith...
zangitsu
Compared to "Temple of Doom", "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is flipping awsome.
a hint guide in an error has occurred blue really

3:35 Clint predicting the Feminist Problem 14 years in advance.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF EBAY?!?!
Kinda like Guardians of the Galaxy blatantly ripping off Farscape. >__>
People aren't as aware of that one though.
