So glad i finally saw the end, as a kid i never made it past the garden, you have 0 idea how hard this is to play ha, everything you do has to be pixel perfect or you die yet still one of the games that has stayed in my head all these years! So good
Yeah, the video makes it look like an easy, quick run through the game. It was absurdly difficult, especially because you never had any idea what you were actually supposed to be doing.
I never made it past the desert. I made it past the garden out of sheer luck (going through the bushes to exit the level isn't very intuitive...). I have to say that i do not like this game. There is a significant delay in the controls and most of the time it feels like you're hitting things or making jumps at random. All these problems make the game unnecessarily difficult and definitely not fun to play. Too bad, because with the surreal/gory atmosphere and the colorful graphics it could have made for a great gaming experience.
@@trentonthompson247 Well... I never played football with an homicidal, knife wielding little girl in a garden with killer lawmowers and man eating flowers... 😂😂😂
It was a great game experience - for the right player. It's just a very, very different sort of game. The controls were intentionally slow and sluggish. All part of its dream-like qualities and gameplay. There's another play video by SirDifferential where I've done a long post all about the game's background, in case you may be interested.

Damn. Ahead of the time’s and on time for late 80’s Horror.😮 Never saw this until one of Michael Latham’s last interviews (he was a huge Sega rep). Even though he didn’t do this game, he had a fondness for it.
I don't think I ever made it past the desert. That first part where you're in the cotton candy machine, I used to think it was a blood separator or something medical because of the surgeons at the beginning.
The OG copy protection. I would love to see someone bring that for comic effect. “What did the author mean when they wrote page 33, paragraph 2, sentence 5? 🤔”
Dand this is really cool, got linked from reddit. Never heard of this game and probably wouldn't know what the hell I was doing but this is really entertaining to watch haha! Thanks for the video!
This type of gameplay reminds me of what was to come in the later CD-ROM multimedia years... minus the terrible FMV. It really drove me nuts as a kid. It was truly ahead of its time, but not in a good way. 8)
I've read somewhere that't Weird DReams is one of the hardest games of all times... Never tired it, though play old games on real h-w, both dos and amiga)
Despite having an Amiga, I never actually played this, but I used to love it on Motormouth. I'm disappointed to discover that the spooky, atmospheric music from Motormouth isn't actually in the game itself! For me, the tune was the best bit! (If you don't remember the music, imagine the Weakest Link's "walk of shame" music overlayed with the 'ooo-eee-ooo' from Doctor Who!)
Lee, do you remember what time they did the Weird Dreams game on Motormouth? Was it the same year they had Gunge 'Em in the Dungeon, by any chance? I did not remember the music, but I did know it wasn't in the game itself. (If anyone reading this has a VHS tape with footage, please I beg you to upload it.)
It's a shame that the gameplay isn't that great because it's one that sticks out in my mind a lot, especially the part with the weird mime playing the piano. I fell like this could be remade with the source engine, or even just a HL2 mod.
controls were atrocius. this game should have been released today with decent controls and it probably could have been amazing.Joystick was anabomination

One of the most atmospheric games released in the 80'
In the 80s too.
I had this game on my tandy w 640k ram
Amiga for me. I was 8

35 years later it is still ... weird

You play football, then you have to go in the bushes. I'd say that's just like real life!

Same here. I was fascinated by the uniqueness of this game in its time, yet found it very frustrating.
This game is over 20 years old ffs

I think that the piano's stage is the most beautiful part of this scary, bizarre adventure.
Despite the creepy toothy Jack-in-the-box? (Yes, that's it's mouth teeth, not a neck frill it's playing like a piano)
At the bit with the clock, how can you tell if it’s safe to go through the door?
Herman Serrano does not take drugs. Drugs take Herman Serrano.
I bet they're often overdose.
So this is what all my games of AI Dungeon actually look like!
Not sure I'd want to play it but a masterpiece nonetheless.
Overall presentation and graphical design: 9/10 (for the time)
Controls: 2/10
You've gotten the best experience by just watching it, trust me
@@CopiousDoinksLLC I felt those awful controls without playing it like God ! It takes forever to hit something in this mess.

Freakishly difficult, atmospheric game, conducive to nightmares. I could never go past 10-30%. Glad to finally see full game here. Thanks!
Qui est venu voir la fin ?

Il faut dire que c'est une sacrée déception

Wish I could've known about this game when I was a kid. Would've probably given me night terrors.
It’s how all of us came here. Childhood game. So good yet so scary
I remember seeing this game in magazines as a kid, never played it, looked trippy as fk.
The hornet's defeat was pretty shocking ! XD
The ball belching @ 6:09 had me lmao.
No wonder I had nightmares as a child.
This game looks cooler than it plays. Im actually kind of relieved cinematic platformers went the way of the dodo
I loved this when I was a kid...what modern games come close to this for sheer unsettling surrealism?
They shoud made a 3d version of this, nice atmosphere
There MUST be a meaning in these weird dreams!
I don't think I ever made it past the desert. That first part where you're in the cotton candy machine, I used to think it was a blood separator or something medical because of the surgeons at the beginning.
Even though it's candyfloss I think it's clearly meant to look a little bloody 😉
Wasps want sugar and blood, what else is new?
Strange but nice, the music sounds good too.

This was my fav and hardest game for me when I had a few gos on it at a mates
I'd seen on TV, but never played it prior to the video. It's cool, but it's so hard!
This game terrified me as a kid....

Playing this without any guides was hard!!
this game genuinely feels like a dream thanks to the controls, ive never been able to run fast or fight well while asleep
I’m glad that not all the comments are from pbg
Almost like the programmer played Frankie Goes To Hollywood and then had a few anchovy and sauerkraut pizzas. Certainly pegs the WTF meter!
07:04 the Ballerina... I don't know whether to laugh or be disturbed.
Oh, I get it!
I finally remember what this game was called...
Oh
So that's what's under the moyais in Easter Island
Vous êtes venu voir la fin après la vidéo de jdg avouez le mdr
mdr ouais c'est ca XD
@@jyrmee2535 oui
Never seen this before, looks neat, very strange
Really a weird dream.
What a genius game

I had it in my C64. I loved graphics, atmosphere and of course the design of the box! The 80is...great time for kids!
Motormouth 👄
I was pretty sure it featured on the programme as a phone-in competition 🙂
This is the most delightfully fucked up thing I've ever seen
Tuve éste juego, me encantaba, pero no sabía pasar de fase.
Casi 20 años después sé cómo se pasan 🤯😂🤣
Sweet Jesus....
Retro Gore...
Drugs were so cheap back then :-D
The devs were definitely on something when they made this 🤪
@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays Or just had some weird dreams, memorized it all (i. e. wrote them down) and made it into a game?
How can i write password on the first step? 😭
Any suggestions for a modern game like this?
Ich wurde bei den rosen immer vom rasenmäher erwischt ...

Hm? You went through the left during both the main game and the last death. One killed you, the other didn't. Why?
RNG
Sounds like the same instrument library as Platoon on Amiga
I could never get past the girl with the ball, how are you supposed to know how that shit has to go
It took me one hour to remember the name
iOS recently added emulation
I wanna play this but how?
A game title that is spot on - can anyone explain WTF is going on....?
So no matter what ya do ya still got a bad ending..
Very weard but very creative game.
Weird
Show of hands, who’s here because of PBG?
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!! THIS GAME IS NICE!!!!
Great job 👍
Thanks for showing the deaths

رائع لعب محترف👍🕹
Nice
... what.
It runs smooth with 4fps :)
I can't believe people actually played this game
As a kid I loaded this game just to watch the surgery scene. It scared the sht out of me. Never got past the 1st level
@@kennymustdie8518 I'm not even surprised lol. It wasn't meant to be finished by a kid anyway.
This looks awful to control...
ST Port job apart from samples.
Im testing the game, its impossible. ■
