Fun fact: The developer of this game, Boston Animation, is the successor of a small company called Animation Magic, best known for their Zelda CD-i games.
@@Boogie_the_catcan you not be a buzzkill please? Yes people being blinded by nostalgia is annoying but sharing the fact they’ve played a game like this is harmless 😅 You should be more like a cat: chill and adorable
@@MrBeardsley Absolutely true. However Mr Simmons recently voiced Omniman for the Invincible series. You do you, but I would never tell this man he is less than a legend.
@@sparkplug405OK, seriously, JK Simmons was actually one of M & M's? He was in a Slim Shady game? You're sure he was the Yellow one? The one that sounds like the voice of Patrick from SpongeBob; doing an impression of an M&M? Because I agree that JK Simmons is an acting legend; in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies; or whatever he's in; because he's awesome at it. But I loved the part in this video, where his head is edited to look like the yellow guy. that was hilarious.
When I was 6-7 years old I played the heck out of this game; I loved it. And yet, even as a child, I remember thinking, "The M&M isn't responding very quickly when I press buttons..."
This unlocked a childhood memory of playing this at a friend's house...it was a very hot day and I was so thirsty but too scared to ask for water and my friend would NOT let me have a turn...more repressed memories provided by Triple Jump...cheers, lads 😂
I'm certain that the PC version of this game is still at my parents house. As someone who was in the described age range and not aware of Crash at the time I played it, I thoroughly enjoyed this game numerous times even the math sections and don't remember having issues controlling it. Yes, it was trial and error and some sections are just unfair if you haven't memorized them and really tight in terms of some of the hit boxes, so I think a 5 to 6/10 is pretty accurate from an adult pov, but as a child it really was just fun. Still have no idea who those bikers are nor why you die when you touch the floor in most levels (other than for game design purposes).
I am so relieved Peter eventually noticed that the red boxes were ok to collect - I was getting unreasonably stressed and annoyed that Ben kept avoiding them!
Who else is old enough to remember renting a bad game and thinking you were just bad at it and not that the game was trash. I did it with The Simpsons Skateboarding.
I had both versions as a kid. The PC version controlled significantly better. Unfortunately, I was playing it without sound, which meant the math sections (removed from Shell Shocked) were impossible.
Fun Fact: The reason why the music in the game sounds low pitched is because people at Boston Animation had to compress the music and alter some music instruments or sound effects from The Lost Formulas, presumably due to audio CD-ROM limitations of the PS1.
There even WAS a "sexy" M&M in your country?!! We here in Germany never even saw that! For us Red & Yellow where the only M&M's we had ever seen in ads!!! I'm even more outraged now than Tucker Carlson had any right to be! At least he got to see it!
I had The Lost Formulas version for PC as a kid but could never get it to work properly on our old Win98 computer at the time T.T Never got to play it at all. I never knew it was ported!
I would like one of the m&m's to be a special character in a modern Mortal Kombat game so we can see what their anatomy is. Are they all chocolate? Do they have bones? Organs? WE NEED TO KNOW, MARS!
Yeah; thats why you can recognize his voice if you're an avid fan of his work, (like Futurama). And so; JK Simmons is the Yellow one? But he sounds like Patrick from SpongeBob, doing an impression of Yellow. Not that Simmons isn't a great actor, it's just, this voice for Yellow, just sounds like Patrick from SpongeBob, that's all I'm saying.
I got this game from a gas station when I was young. It was so difficult that it made me cry, I forgot about this game until I saw the suggestion for this video show up 🤣 the "uh oh" of the yellow m&m seemed like it was taunting me
Believe it or not, this game is on my PS1 wish list. Alongside games like The Powerpuff girls Chemical X Traction, Bratz, and Rocket Power Team Rocket Rescue.
You gave up before showing us what the green M&M sections were like you monsters!!! I think I played the PC version at some cousin's house and don't recall it being horrible. Not great but not terrible either.
I think I speak for everyone when I say we're all SICK and TIRED of seeing Ben on the right and Peter on the left. We need to do something about this, not sure what.
This game wasn’t that bad I actually enjoyed playing it and I’ve been playing a long time. I’ve seen games a lot worse like some of the crazy ones that used to have on the Atari 2600 when I was a kid.
This weak shell is heavy , theres candy on my nuts already not mums spaghetti, lol I recall this game I was a chubby kid of course I played this. cheers guys
I don't even need to start this video to know it is wrong. The Lost Formulas is S ranked, and Shell Shocked is the same game without math, and since I can't do math, it must be even better.
You might not know Cree Summer’s name, but you definitely know her voice. Aside from countless animated shows including Tiny Toons (Elmyra) and Kids Next Door (Numbah 5) she was Cynder in the first Legend of Spyro game, Mindy in Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, and Auriel in Diablo III.
Oh; it is? Is that why Ben and Peter are playing a terrible M&M(no, NOT that Eminem, though, the candy ones, but I'd like to see an Eminem game; or one with Eminem in it, just to see what he'd come up with).
Tucker Carlson on his first independant show got 120 million views, but yeah sure, he's fringe. Also, the UK doesn't have a right wing news channel, so where did the GB News team get kicked off?

IM Meen too
@@FigureFarter No way... These are the guys who developed the Zelda CD-i games? They did the Eminem game before they did Zelda Cd-i? That's insane.
@@shawnfields2369 Cd-i games were before this game.
I've never played this game but Yellow's character model ( 13:38 ) is my Xbox profile image. His blank stare is my mood all the time
I love it when Ben says "the f×yeah× one" and Peter just has to pause 😂
9:40 Ben coughed so hard he vanished.
Here's hoping for Worst Games Ever to NEVER STOP AIRING EVER FOR ETERNITY
Quite possibly my favorite series on youtube!
@@ajax4165 I agree, both Rerez and TripleJump both have a great "Best Worst Games" series. Although...I'm not sure who'd be in 3rd...
Ben was having way too much fun for this one to qualify for worst games ever! 😂
No classic Ben Rage here. 😂
@@AlmightyPolarBearSo, no classic Ben Ranger here? Oh well...always next time.
I...embarrassingly had this game when I was 10, and I beat it.
There’s no reason to be embarrassed about the games you liked when you were 10. Or the games you had.
@@Boogie_the_catBro chill out, it's just a harmless comment of reflection on fun times 😅. Who hurt you?

Can't think of anything less embarrassing for a 10 year old. Impressive if anything.
@@Boogie_the_catsir this is a wendys
Another game that was an easy paycheck for a voiceover legend
Two in this case, three if you count JK Simmons but he’s more of a screen acting legend.

When Ben first started playing I thought to myself "This looks a bit like Crash" I was not ready for how right I was.
Lol, the irony is that there was a falling out between Eminem and Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and he did a diss track about him.
This unlocked a childhood memory of playing this at a friend's house...it was a very hot day and I was so thirsty but too scared to ask for water and my friend would NOT let me have a turn...more repressed memories provided by Triple Jump...cheers, lads 😂
you should be grateful they didn't let you play tbh
@@worldoffood123 for once I avoided the merciless grip of hubris by being too chicken to tell his mom he wasn’t giving me a turn 🙏

You're not misremembering. The PC version was better. It still had basically the same level layouts, but the controls were way more responsive.
I am so relieved Peter eventually noticed that the red boxes were ok to collect - I was getting unreasonably stressed and annoyed that Ben kept avoiding them!
Crash bandicoot taught us to avoid them lol
Who else is old enough to remember renting a bad game and thinking you were just bad at it and not that the game was trash. I did it with The Simpsons Skateboarding.
So this factory makes chocolate and explosives? Well makes as much sense as talking candy I guess.
If only Dave Benson Phillips voiced every M&M
They asked him, but his exo suit got hit.
Chews-day is the best day to play an M&M game
I’ve not seen more painfully sluggish movement in a video game before, even for the PS1
The Whiplash bit nearly made me choke on my supper, good lord. Had no idea J K Simmons voiced an M&M.
Worst Games Ever hitting me right in the childhood again.
Why am I not surprised that Ben wants to pork the green MnM?
Can't believe you cited the goatse in this episode 🙈
I had both versions as a kid. The PC version controlled significantly better. Unfortunately, I was playing it without sound, which meant the math sections (removed from Shell Shocked) were impossible.
I would love to see Ben and Peter look at one of the Burger King Xbox games one day
Fun Fact: The reason why the music in the game sounds low pitched is because people at Boston Animation had to compress the music and alter some music instruments or sound effects from The Lost Formulas, presumably due to audio CD-ROM limitations of the PS1.
We're certainly aren't approaching the sound barrier with this one
Damn, beat me to it.
I remember getting so annoyed with the “Oops, uh oh” death sound that at some point young me felt a strong “You know what, good”.
I would have thought TINY PETER would like this, for is not a peanut M&M a decadent and mighty feast for him and his family?
Seems like this should have been in Weirdest Games Ever.
“Oh look, even the helicopter is Caucasian”
That "Oops, uh oh" is burned into my brain from my childhood. I thought this game looked better. Maybe it looked better on a CRT
9:43, isn’t that just like working at a maternity hospital? Why am I thinking about this?
5:00 I think you were mixing them up with Cool Spot
Ben: “Why do you die when you touch the floor?!?!”
Umm… obviously because the floor is hot lava, Ben, geez!
Even though I had Crash first, my parents got me this game as a kid and I loved it, I think I still have it lol
Ben: I’m getting really good at this bit! *fails immediately*
I had this!! No idea where it came from, played it on PC, taught me how to do 3D platforming. The final level drove me insane as a middle schooler.
Simon Shuster and Joe Wood sound like nice people.
So funny, i laught so hard at theSheldon and JK Simmons bits that i nearly perished 😂
"If I EVER see another one of these laying around; I swear to f**k God, I'll stop being so polite, get the f**k out of my face before I demolish you".
*Core memory unlocked*
I feel bad for Peanut M&M lol he's special
The pre-recorded generic Rules Boss cutaways must've increased KPI's by at least 7%.. 🧡
There even WAS a "sexy" M&M in your country?!!
We here in Germany never even saw that! For us Red & Yellow where the only M&M's we had ever seen in ads!!!
I'm even more outraged now than Tucker Carlson had any right to be! At least he got to see it!
Shoutouts to that French reviewer channeling his country's love of existentialist literature, truly the Sartre of game reviewers

This video released on my birthday, and as you can guess from commenting two days later I’ve had a hell of a good time!! 26 years old
Billy West is Red. That's why he kinda sounds a little like Fry from Futurama. JK Simmons is Yellow.
Yeah; thats why you can recognize his voice if you're an avid fan of his work, (like Futurama). And so; JK Simmons is the Yellow one?

Always a great time when the boys play Worst...... Games..... Ever!!!!!!
Billy West is Red, JK Simmons is Yellow and Cree Summer is Green
Never realized this was the first M&M game. Feel like there was one on NES. So weird.
I can confirm: the M&Ms absolutely have "pale white" limbs, changing them to "Caucasian" is...deeply weird.
Finally, Smarties Meltdown’s American nonunion equivalent.
Believe it or not, this game is on my PS1 wish list. Alongside games like The Powerpuff girls Chemical X Traction, Bratz, and Rocket Power Team Rocket Rescue.
Big Boss Cam? Is that a wrestling reference?
You gave up before showing us what the green M&M sections were like you monsters!!!
I think I played the PC version at some cousin's house and don't recall it being horrible. Not great but not terrible either.
Can you do more of these and more weirdest games? I feel like we need them more frequently than you do them plzzzzz
Another good episode guys!

This is basically a reskinned worse crash bandicoot. How did they get away with it?
Yo i had this game as a kid and i never thought it was that bad
Ben swearing in this one was hilarious! Laughed a lot during this episode!
they should play sonic 06, even though its infamous and many have already played it.
My dad had this game when I was little. I was awful at it
Anyone else hungry after watching this?
It's Fry from (Futurama)
Are the M&M's eyebrows made of chocolate?
Wtf is this game?!?
How dare this be on worst games ever, this is a charming confectionery adventure. This is perfect mediocre bliss to me
Mmm this is clearly not serious given you said ‘mediocre bliss’ 🤣 so you agree with the title!😜

“Tucker Carlson detonated out of sheer rage since he can no longer rely on sweets to get horny” is the single greatest Science Fact in WGE history.

Never heard of this Game but was old enough not to buy crap like this
Eh! 😊 it’s M&M month!
Oh; it is? Is that why Ben and Peter are playing a terrible M&M(no, NOT that Eminem, though, the candy ones, but I'd like to see an Eminem game; or one with Eminem in it, just to see what he'd come up with).
#PetesCrapFacts
Peter points out skin tone more often than Jim Crow Era police officers

This game was my childhood, I will not tolerate this slander
The cutscenes are fun 😅 but like are you able to remember the game play or did you have the PC version?
