RIP Corey Haim...Eddie and RIP Irwin Keyes...Brutus (Break Legs!), and RIP Taylor Negron...Slick Sammy. It was great meeting and working with you 3. Love and miss you guys.
People think this sucks now but back in 1993 people were really impressed with this because no-one had scene movie-like footage in video games before and Full Motion video wasn't even heard of until the Sega CD was made and released. This goes to show how much of a groundbreaking and revolutionary invention the Sega CD was. The Devs at Sega were true prophets of there time.
People were impressed by this garbage? Are you serious or are you just trying to defend this garbage? I’ve seen more impressive feats out of a four-cylinder engine in a Toyota Tercel.
I do feel its a bit of a waste you never get to see most of the storyand cinematics because youre so busy catching bad guys though. Same problem with Night Trap, wished they timed ot out a bit and gave you a break or had a cinema or movie mode once you beat the game.
I forgot Taylor Negron was in this. R.I.P. One of the best character actors ever. Loved him in The Last Boy Scout and The Stoned Age. "Some stone cold foxes"
Is no one going to mention that the handyman is Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket. Skip to the final 30 seconds, and you'll see him in character.
Was wondering when this would show up! Amusing game, especially since it has the late Corey Haim, Lee R. Ermey (drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket) and Debbie Harry (lead singer of Blondie). As far as repetition goes, this is kind of expected with these games. Night Trap had the same thing. But it still is funny seeing people go into traps regardless.
To make sure we finally understand the story. You are in an apartment complex called the Edward Arms, which was built by the famous industrialist Lionel Atwater Edward III at the turn of the 20th Century. Built following an archaeological expedition to the Valley of the Kings, the building has an ancient Egypt theme and is rumored to hide a valuable statue of Isix (named after the precursor to Digital Pictures) stolen by Edward during his expedition. You are an anonymous, silent protagonist, contacted via video call by the current owner of the Edward Arms, a young man named Eddie. Eddie says that he has equipped the building with cameras and traps to protect the tenants from the local criminal element, but one of the tenants has locked him in the basement. He gives you control of the cameras and traps and directs you to protect the tenants, trap the handyman Lyle whenever possible, and find the security codes to get him out. After you acquire all the security codes, Eddie confides in you that one of the tenants is a killer. When he emerges from his basement prison, Eddie runs into Lyle and Elizabeth, the building's manager. Eddie and Lyle's argument reveals that Eddie is mentally unhinged, that Lyle and Elizabeth are his parents, and that Lyle locked him in the basement to keep him from doing harm to himself or others. Each tenant has their own plot line that overlaps into the main plot. Alex, a journalist fresh out of college, enthusiastically investigates the many dangerous goings-on. Laura, an aspiring architect, and Phoebe, an archaeology student, share a room and have acquired a unique Egyptian statue. Another room is occupied by Scream, a hard rock band in search of a record deal. Brutus is an aging mobster whose father worked on the construction of the Edward Arms. His father told him of gold concealed in the building, and Brutus wants to find it so he can pay off a debt to a dangerous mob boss. Elizabeth is trying to rekindle her relationship with Lyle. Though Lyle is held back by fears that any children they have will turn out like Eddie, he ultimately yields to her seductions. Members of a secret society infiltrate the Edward Arms and go after Phoebe and Jeff as soon as they spot them with the statue. They escape and Jeff hides the statue in his room just before an A&R man arrives to audition Scream. One of the secret society attacks Jeff during the audition, but you use a trap to save him and the A&R man decides to give Scream the label's fullest support. Meanwhile, Lyle goes around the building showing you dangerous traps that Eddie either did not know about or chose not to share with you. Lyle rewires these traps to give you control so that you can stop Eddie. The building's killer appears dressed as a mummy. He herds the tenants into reach of the traps and tries to spring the traps using a remote control. You save the tenants, and as the mummy is locked into a chair trap, Alex and Phoebe take the remote control away and unmask the mummy as Eddie. Enraged, Eddie vows to kill everyone in the building. Alex and Phoebe petition Elizabeth for help, but Elizabeth is in denial of Eddie's problems. Angered by the girls' accusations, she locks the Edward Arms's entrance, trapping the tenants inside. Aided by your trapping Eddie, the girls reunite with Laura and Jeff. Jeff suggests that Brutus likely has a gun that they can use to protect themselves. They find Brutus in his room, where Eddie attacks them, but you trap him again and return him to his basement prison. Elizabeth takes the statue from the girls and explains that Eddie had figured out that the statue is actually a key which transforms the entire Edward Arms into a giant treasury. The tenants stare in unified awe at the riches on display. Afterwards, Eddie takes the statue out of the lock to the treasury, resealing it.
I have the PC game of this and just tried to play it on my Windows 10 computer...sadly it will not work. I never did get to the end of it, but thanks to this I can now see what happens...I'm glad I didn't get to the end because I love Corey Haim and wanted to rescue him not keep him trapped in the basement!
Retroarch is an awesome all in one emulator for android and I think ios too. Just go to google play and type in retroarch. The setup is kinda tricky initially but its totally worth it.
You'd think those intruders would learn their lessons after the epidemics they went through. Oh well. Guess that's what makes bad guys fail... oh... so... easily.
I like Double Switch It's a good video game on the Sega Cd and now it's on Nintendo Switch and I think FMV video games are interesting even though most people don't like it
At 0:29 you can hear the Muslim chant that was also in the Fire Temple of Zelda: Ocarina of Time originally. It caused controversy, so Nintendo took it out in later releases.
I know this is an old comment but this is interesting. I didn't notice it. Also I forgot about the Zelda's one. I wonder what's the point of adding it? Did they just like the sound?
"Hey ... Hi, my name is Eddy ..." "Hi, Eddy" "... and I need your help. This is my building and since this neighborhood really sucks [...]" "Like this game sucks!" inb4 Valis77
I had this junk when I got the sega cd. I was 14. I never figured out wtf was going on. Awful, but miss Corey haim- he was a big part of my 80s childhood
no wonder! I didnt like it when it came out, its the same stuff over and over and over and over again. its not a trap if they get out to be trapped again.
Big issue cant go outside biting hand no idra why itching beard Eddie carmen eddie level Little nemo on hbo basement Campout The school of Visual Arts Church cherrybomb .. ** Suzies Flcl Brc kim cummibgs eent in on Abc **..
Like all these FMV U Direct Games this game Sucks, it makes no sense and is too damn hard to do anything in the game or proceed very far in it, you have to some how guess which traps to set off and which rooms to set them off in at a particular time and there is no rhyme or reason on how to do that. No wonder Sega lost billions and failed and had to resort to just making software for other systems and maybe still be in the Arcade Hardware business with those stupid machines you try to get prizes out of like that UFO Catcher crane type game. Maybe Night Trap is good because it's a cult classic or something, such cheesy acting it's fun to play it to make fun of the cheesy acting. Sega Fucked up on the Sega CD, Saturn and even the Dreamcast because they spent too much on the other failed systems so could not support the Dreamcast and how they left it valuable to hacking and people on day one already knew how to get around it's security and boot leg games, you don't even need to MOD it to play burned Discs.
RIP Corey Haim...Eddie and RIP Irwin Keyes...Brutus (Break Legs!), and RIP Taylor Negron...Slick Sammy. It was great meeting and working with you 3. Love and miss you guys.
How come so many involved in this game have passed? So sad. RIP.
Don't forget about R.Lee Ermey as the handy man.
Hey come on..am so interested..whats the story? Plz share.. miss the 90s so much. People much happier, great times.
Ok it was a long time since the game came out. So much has happened since then. They are not all related. I miss the old days so much.
It's sad Corey Heim who played as Eddie,Irwin Keyes who played as Brutus and Taylor Negron who played as Slick sammy died and may they RIP
I had this game as a kid,and I loved every second of it. Most people hated FMV games like this,but I always thought they were interesting.
+Don Scott I love FMV games
I was obsessed with the FMV games, I love Double Switch, Night Trap, Corpse Killer and Ground Zero Texas.
I really like the FMV games on the Sega CD. Yeah, they have lots of flaws. But they are just so cheesy that it is just awesome.
me to
@@Bu33ab3 so do i
This is one of the few FMV games I genuinely like. I have the Saturn version.
+thepirategamerboy12 What is the difference between the Sega CD and Saturn versions?
Gary Beltz Better controls and video quality.
Loved this game
RIP Corey Haim 😔
R.I.P. Lyle, the Handyman (R. Lee Ermey) :(
You have to get rid of Eddie cause he went psycho. Henceforth why he's trapped in the basement at the beginning of the game.
Thanks for clarifying, i skipped the vid some because of the fillers etc..
Aww man i thought he was good. Eddie is the handyman's son and Elizabeth is his mum
the production values are off the charts.
cheestatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Corey Haim. :(
Derrick Reisdorf Corey Haim is my favourite actor
i ate pop tarts and played this game, and beat it in a day in like 1995. that was a fun day.

This was such a good game.
That poor fireplace guy... he keeps crawling out only to fall back in it again.
I do feel its a bit of a waste you never get to see most of the storyand cinematics because youre so busy catching bad guys though. Same problem with Night Trap, wished they timed ot out a bit and gave you a break or had a cinema or movie mode once you beat the game.
Agreed
20:50 is the hardest part of the game.
The musical Genius Thomas Dolby made the music to this!
Honestly, watching this in 240 makes the videos look a lot better!
Kind of a shame the main actors of this game and Night Trap are both dead now.
Was the Sega CD cursed?
I forgot Taylor Negron was in this. R.I.P. One of the best character actors ever. Loved him in The Last Boy Scout and The Stoned Age. "Some stone cold foxes"
"I told you....I hurt my bladder rollerblading...."
And was a hair dress in Seinfeld and a toy salesman in Stuart Little!
Is no one going to mention that the handyman is Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.
Skip to the final 30 seconds, and you'll see him in character.
For a cheesy low budget Sega CD FMV game,it had a pretty well known cast. Corey Haim,Deborah Harry,R.Lee Ermey,ect.
this game is a good one from the past i had it for sega cd i liked it alot
Was wondering when this would show up! Amusing game, especially since it has the late Corey Haim, Lee R. Ermey (drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket) and Debbie Harry (lead singer of Blondie).

Eddie: Hey.
AVGN: Hey.
Eddie: Hi.
AVGN: Hi.
Eddie: My name is Eddie.
AVGN: Hi, Eddie.
Cool cast. Love Blondie (Deborah Harry) and R. Lee Ermy. The Drill Sergeant from FMJ he aint.
I loved FMV games, when my friends were playing super Nintendo, I felt like I was from another planet with CD based music and FMV :)
RIP corey haim.
I had this and Corpse Killer for Sega Saturn and loved them both. They are going through this so fast and missing a bunch of the good stuff.

+Chuck Rohleder What is retroarch?
Retroarch is an awesome all in one emulator for android and I think ios too. Just go to google play and type in retroarch. The setup is kinda tricky initially but its totally worth it.
You'd think those intruders would learn their lessons after the epidemics they went through. Oh well. Guess that's what makes bad guys fail... oh... so... easily.
This game just got confirmed for a remake!!
I like Double Switch It's a good video game on the Sega Cd and now it's on Nintendo Switch and I think FMV video games are interesting even though most people don't like it
rip r lee ermey

Like this game sucks!
27:08 wow, that guy was stupid
Sad that the stars of this and night trap both died after a history of drug abuse.
At 0:29 you can hear the Muslim chant that was also in the Fire Temple of Zelda: Ocarina of Time originally. It caused controversy, so Nintendo took it out in later releases.
I know this is an old comment but this is interesting. I didn't notice it. Also I forgot about the Zelda's one.
I wonder what's the point of adding it? Did they just like the sound?
Cool! Old fave.
rip eddie
love this game
I'm seeing a lot of deja vu in this long play
avgn brang me here
so it's just like night trap but without the creation of the ERSB
Man didnt know you have to capture Eddie
I wonder if Sega will release a mega collection for the consoles?
“I know, that sucked!”
I'M CRYING ON THE MOON!
"Hey ... Hi, my name is Eddy ..."
"Hi, Eddy"
"... and I need your help. This is my building and since this neighborhood really sucks [...]"
"Like this game sucks!"

I had this junk when I got the sega cd. I was 14. I never figured out wtf was going on. Awful, but miss Corey haim- he was a big part of my 80s childhood
Love Mary Lambert. Pet Sematary is the greatest horror movie ever.
How did the Mexican gangster come back after being trapped?
very nice Video cubex
.......from the director of Pet Cemetary.
Night trap
I feel like this game was everywhere. It went from one thing to another it was weird. Glad I never owned a Sega cd growing up
I hope lady is trap
I'm in shock
Thomas Dolby brought me here
hey this looks familiar :D DSP and john played this game ;D
I Can't Play This On Android
(I Am Using An Emulator... Not The Re-Released Version...)
how the hell do you activate the trap...? im doing the exact same thing this player is and he keeps walking out the window....
1:34 AVGN: Like this game sucks.
Lol I have to say...I thought the acting would be a lot worse.
Why does Eddie all of a sudden become an antagonist?
That's the "Double Switch" The point in the storyline where you realize the protagonist is actually the antagonist and vice versa :)
14:33 was that R. Lee Ermey ?
@Nintendough LOL r. lee eMRey - good eyes dude!
The original five nights at Freddy's
1:34 You mean like this game?
Anyone know where Eddie's accent is from? Also is that Corey Feldman playing the mobster with the Michael Jackson perm?
Corey Haim was Canadian, but I don't think he has much of an accent...and no that's not Corey Feldman!
Still say Haim looks like Bieber in this game
xD wait a second wait a second ARRRRRRGGGG digital pictures xD
00:00
