- We've talked about strange examples of video game cross-promotion before, but it turns out there's more than enough for a second helping. Some are good, some are bad, but all of them left us scratching our heads and asking "Wait, they made a video game out of that?" Here are 10 More of The Weirdest Licensed Video Games!

I wish these "sequel" videos would link to the first video in the description
Came here to say exactly that. And also to advocate for chapters to be added so you can jump to each of the 10 games in the list easily.
Irony:
At least for me? That video is one of the suggested ones at the end of this video.
The resion why Fred Durst is in so many games during the PS2 Era of gaming was if you wanted to use Limp Bisket music in a game It's part of the contract that Fred Durst HAS to be a playable character in some fashion. Dude's ego is so huge he forced it into games that used his bands music.
He did it all for the Nookie.
Of all the ego driven decisions I've heard of made by celebrities, this one has got to be my favorite
Guys like the Hulk Hogan of the music biz, the Durst always goes over brother
And God bless him for it. Living his dream/best life.
@@niekohle7297So he could get that ‘cookie.’ 😉
man, gotham city impostors was a genuine treat of a game. it was clunky, it was odd but it had genuine heart. you were able to create your loadout not just through the selection of guns but you can customise the build of your character and you got credits every time you'd play to purchase cosmetics when it became free-to-play and man, i got real sad when it shut down :(
I really liked the game as well and it's easily one of my favorite superhero sort of games. It was really fun to play.
Arkham Asylum is the weirdest because of how unexpectedly amazing it was, God I miss Kevin Conroy so much. He was perfect as Batman. I got a voice acting background and have to say that his voice has been such an inspiration for me since the Batman the Animated Series. The vocal training was really tough, sometimes without noticeable results for months but actors like him are a great impulse to not give up - I was almost a face of Leon in those new RE games :)
Okay, but what the fuck does that have to do with the topic of this video?
I remember the announcement and thinking it was coming out after Marvel’s Captain America game. I thought it would be fine enough, and the only game I think I played by Rocksteady was called “Urban Chaos”? Was blown away how great it was, so I’m right with you of not expecting nearly what was given.
Weirder than that is X-Men origins: wolverine, because somehow they made a great game out of a terrible, terrible, terrible movie
@@TheRealCaptainFreedomit has nothing to do with it, this clown just wanted to tell someone that he "has an armchair background in voice acting" and wanted to show his fake respect batman, "i miss him so much" 😂 thay psy never shed a tear for dude😂😂 ppl.are so corny man
@@aaronworthing1023 Hi, that great game is not the only thing that came outta that film, we also got 2016's Deadpool thanks to it :) There's also pretty cool Hulk game made by the creators of Prototype.
For a good minute I thought Peter was saying “the batchula” when it was in fact “The Bachelor” lol. I thought, is this some kind of bat themed game show from the UK I’ve never heard of or something? 😅. It wasn’t until he started talking about dating when I said “OHH… bachelor, that makes more sense” 😂.
You still need to mention the Gilligan's Island NES game. That's pretty bizarre. Or the Cool Spot from 7 Up video game.
Used to love the Cool Spot game
@@GotTheBestLigmathe Cool Spot game was legit good. Weird af, but good.
We need a Every Pinball Video Game Ranked From Worst to Best
Dragons Fury on megadrive
Metroid pinball is the best
The issue there is that with the multi pinball collections like Pinball FX/2/3 and Pinball Arcade, you would literally just end up with 10 games from those collections. In which case you could just say that one of those collections is the best pinball game.
And fwiw my own personal favourite is 'Class of 1812' from Pinball Arcade.
@@frankbrodie5168 Class of 1812 is a classic! A lot of fun to play in real life as well!
See above for my pick of the worst! Hint: Its "Kiss Pinball" for the PSX... no relation to the excellent Bally or Stern IRL machines.
Gotham City Imposters was pure bollocks but a ton of fun!
For as many videos as there have been about the Home Improvement video game, I've always been shocked that they've all missed one crucial detail in explaining the "why" of this game: starting in Season 2, Home Improvement's opening credits were done in the style of a 2d platform video game, a classic example of the "gamesploitation" nintendoporn legacy media would use back in the 90s to entice kids for a w few seconds to get them to buy into something that otherwise was boring.
IGN: "Home Improvement was never good."
Overthinking things much?
@joshuawidener8407 Not at all, it's actually quite the simple explanation. 😇
@@autobotstarscream765 it's really not. All kinds of these games existed back then. They wanted to make an easy buck is a much answer. Same reason home alone, Wayne's world, Dennis the mennis, rockos modern life, darkman, etc existed
@joshuawidener8407 I think that was the point, the tie-in games were there to merchandise the show, so it's assumed that the video game aesthetic was added to the show to advertise the game that's merchandise for the show that kids who weren't Jonathan Taylor Thomas stans might not have thought to ever want a merchandise game of in the first place, because nothing about Home Improvement screams "video game" other than "Al Borland Dating Sim". 😂
Did the crew behind The Bachelor The Video Game not know that there's an entire genre of games called "dating sim"?
I had Chex Quest.
Two fun facts:
1.) The Doom cheat codes still worked.
2.) The game was pretty awesome.
I used to have a modded Nintendo Wii that I had set up to run Chex Quest.
To bad fun facts is old, like 2017 old kidgirl so how about you find another copy/paste comment? You could always start the comment with (the fact that), sounds essentially the same as your copy/paste comment
@@ramrodbldm9876you seem upset.
@@ramrodbldm9876 Say Car Ramrod! Why didn't you say Car Ramrod?
In the movie when asked which historical figure he would fight Tyler Durden says Abe Lincoln. It’s a shame they didn’t also include the other answers Ghandi, Hemingway and William Shatner.
Home Improvement Power Tool Persuit reminds me of the intro from season 1, where Tim is showing his neighbor a video game somewhat similar to this
Am guessing whoever wrote this video has not seen Fight Club.
Because you're NOT supposed to talk about "Fight Club", remember?
I watched just to make sure that you mentioned the instruction manual for the Home Improvement game. I used to rent it all the time. Fun game.
me too! I've seen the Home Improvement game mentioned in other lists on other channels but literally no one mentions the bonkers instruction manual. I played it as a kid and that always stuck out to me because I was a kid who sucked at video games lol but I loved them so I played them - but I never got past the first level of this one, and the manual made sure of that 😂😂😂
The next closest thing to dinosaurs is The Rolling Stones, dudes are almost living fossils. Aerosmith is next after them however.
1st rule of fight club is don't talk about fight club
2nd rule of fight club DO NOT talk about the fight club video game
Exactly.
The Akira pin game is a weird mention. Every. Single. pinball related license is just as bizarre and in most cases moreso.
Gotham City Imposters was a right laugh!
"I would fight Abraham Lincoln"
Has Peter actually seen Fight Club yet, I wonder? ;)
The Aerosmith game was the first arcade game I ever played at the skating rink and me and my bro beat it!
Oh my GOD I loved Gotham City Imposters...it was surprisingly deep and well put together and the cosmetics were AMAZING...would LOVE a re-do 🤘🤘🤘
I played that M&M game alot as a kid. It would barely run on our windows 95 computer. I remember enjoying it. Best math teacher I ever had.
TL;DW list:
10. Akira Psycho Ball (2002)
9. Warpath: Jurassic Park (1999. Background in thumbnail image.)
8. Chex Quest (1996)
7. Star Wars Chess (1993)
6. Revolution X (1994)
5. Gotham City Impostors (2012. Online-only. Closed in 2014.)
4. Fight Club (2004)
3. Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! (1994. Parts of thumbnail image.)
2. The Bachelor: The Videogame (2010. LOL. So obscure; it was even ported to Macintosh with no Windows/Linux releases.)
1. M&M's: The Lost Formulas (2000)
---
Total of listed titles released before 2000: 5.
Total from 2000 onward: 5.
But only 2 were released in 2010 and after.
I actually liked Revolution X on SNES. I got it for probably $5 on clearance at Walmart. It was pretty cool for the price.
9:17 no, that was only for the ps3 version due to gamespy and its server shutting down
the game was truly rendered unplayable (i think) when it was removed from steam in 2021
Why would imposters need Batman in it? It's called "imposters" for a reason
Gotham city imposters was such a really good game on the 360, its a shame they never did a next gen version
Hey, that's Ryan Davis in that Wipeout footage!
They had the m&M's game in my school purely because of the math segments so that's probably why... To sell it to computer labs as an educational game to get Infront of impressionable kids.
Gotham city imposters was actually pretty damn fun....just not enough of a player base, took too long to find matches and when you would it would often be same group you just played with
Imposters was underrated and I’d pay good money for a #2 on modern consoles
Gotham inposters is a great game it's a shame it's never been remade
NGL that Home Improvement game looks like kind of a cool platformer lol. Ive seen way worse 16 bit games!
Akira Psycho Ball actually looks pretty cool! There have been a lot of unique licenses for video pinball games... (anyone play Slayer Pinball Rocks for the iOS?), but the absolute worst playing video pinball game is Kiss Pinball for the PSX. It almost unplayable, and should be on the lists for worst video game of all time, but most people don't know that it exists. What makes things worse is that Bally and Stern made two excellent real pinball machines based on Kiss, so I was really excited to play a Kiss PSX pinball game, but the PSX is not a simulation of either IRL pinball table (the game came out before the Stern machine), and the physics are so bad that even a world champion pinball player like myself couldn't get anything accomplished on it. I literally got my money back on it. Play it if you dare, and want to experience one of the worst games ever!
Wait are you genuinely a pinball world champion? That's a totally awesome thing to just casually mention.
Friends of Triple Jump, will you please do a "every Harry Potter game, Ranked from worst to best"???❤❤😊😊
I remember playing Warpath Jurassic Park years back and would love an HD Remake of this game 🦖🦕.
Chex Quest should be added to Xbox Game Pass, too 👻
I miss Gotham City Impostors, it was really fun.
How was M&M not sued for that game 🤣🤣🤣
"Music, is a weapon!"
I remember reading the mini-review in Nintendo Power for Home Improvement and it reads and I agree that the game's main problem is that it's lacking in the humor that made the TV show so great; not to mention it uses very little of the show's material all things considered.
I wonder if the game was already mostly made before slapping the license on it. That's what companies sometimes did back then, make a generic platformer which could be adapted to any IP by changing some of the sprites. There are a bunch of Gameboy games which are all the same game, just with different licenses attached.
@@Psyk60 I think the NES game Yo Noid was made from another game.
I've got the officially licensed Blues Brothers Gameboy game. My dad bought it for me in the 90s cos he's a huge fan of the film (as am I)
Ridiculous the game even exists, but I have a massive soft spot for it.
Gotham City imposters with actually a pretty good game and I stand by that statement 👊🏾
I'm calling it now that Star Wars Monopoly is VASTLY superior to Star Wars chess. And that's not me having a go at Star Wars chess.
Gotham City Imposters is one of the best f2p arcade games ever rip
they should re make the Jurasic Park Fighting game
Gotham City Imposters was a great gem.
Revolution X was pretty fun. At least the arcade version was
I remember playing Revolution X in the arcade. Funny enough I was so young I don’t think it hit me that it was a game about Aerosmith.
For as baffling a game as Gotham City Imposters was, it sure was a ton of fun. Shame it never caught on.
I still have quite vivid memories of the Star Wars Monopoly video game😅
Chex Quest was my absolute jam
A dinosaur called alberto?
Is from a tv kid show or something?
Manhunt or the warriors would have been closer to fight club
Remember the Playboy game?
You didn't talk about the Skittles adventure Darkened Skye for Gamecube. Shenanigans have been declared.
I loved chex quest!! Its brings back so many memories!
Triple Jump time
i miss gothan city imposters, would have gone pro :P
Revolution x in the arcade slapped.
I absolutely loved Gotham City Impostors. Lots of fun to be had all around
Gotham city imposters wasn’t a bad game, the word imposters kind of sums up why Batman isn’t in it common sense really
i knew some of these but jeezo some surprised me.
Fight Club is about toxic masculinity? Lol, no.
These people are trying to steal the meaning from everything and make it some buzzword they heard in uni
These liberals are getting crazy with their buzzwords.
Fred durst and aberham Lincoln 😂
Chex quest was legit
Chex quest was a doom mod
I love home improvement and I bought that game for 15 bucks cib like 20 years ago. Apparently it’s super expensive now
I saw a box copy for like $250 a few years ago
11:40
I wonder who got the power pack.
Hahaha
Hahaha
Ha
Ha...news!
It looks so very nice😍😍
Haven't played it nut it's on my Snes Mini
Revolution X on the Playstation is one of the worst games ever made, and I had a total blast playing through it back in the day, and will die on that hill.
I played Revolution X it was fun.
I need an sequel to marvel nemesis rise of the imperfects
I have been Waiting for a video game channel to mention Revolution X. That game was my shit Far before I learned who Aerosmith was.
is this a old video that got re uploaded I could of swore I saw this before
STILL NO Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Adventures in Tinkertown or the Stuart Little Numberland/Wordland duology?
Can I get a shout-out for one of the greatest games ever made if you guys can make a video with Rock and Roll Racing in it I would fall in love❤😂🎉
While these are weird they were successful lol that what he says about every game
I think the only game on this list i didn't want to play, was the M&M's game. That one looked pretty A$$
🎉
fight club is about toxic masculinity? LOL, no the author said it was about people who start believing their own bullshit too much (and others claim it's about repressed sexuality too) but toxic masculinity wasn't even in the public lexicon until at least 6 years after the movie came out
at least in the USA where it book/film are from
My favourite Brits. ❤
👽
I could make a better Bachelor game in Rpgmaker mv
I don't think that Fight Club had anything to do with toxic masculinity, it was about rampant consumerism and letting go of it.
It can be about 2 things
@@monkaWGiga "Toxic masculinity" wasn't really a thing back then, so it's doubtful that it has anything to do with it anyway.
@@aldotrioksidi It absolutely was a thing that was discussed in the 90s they just didn't call it toxic masculinity.
To say that problematic social conventions that weren't acknowledged as problems in their time weren't "a thing" is some real caveman level sh*t. It's like saying domestic violence wasn't a thing. Back then it was just a good way to keep your wife and kids in line, but now it's "a thing" and it's wrong and we shouldn't do it.
Also, slightly unrelated, movie adaptations of books often lose a lot of subtext in the effort to make a good movie. Fight Club was a great movie, partially because it stayed focused in the parts of the story that are visually exciting. Sometimes when movies are too strictly bound to the book, they get long and boring. The example coming to mind for me right now is Catch-22. The book was better than the movie because the movie should have been edited down, like 20-30 minutes shorter.
@@metasteelgaming4373 Problem things aren't preceived as problems if they're normalized. Domestic violence hasn't always been a thing, because at some point it was seen as normal thing. If it was talked about, they were talked with different names, but it would carry different weight in the past as it would today, solely because it was seen as a more normal thing and acceptable.
Top trumps?? 😁😁😁😁
Toxic masculinity womp womp. The ESG score boosting won't help your dying channel
this narrator's voice is extremely irritating
Sounds AI
Yet you took the time to watch when you didn't have to
@@fritzthecat8158no it doesn't. Not everything is AI you Trump lover
it's about the unnecessary addition of bass at the end of each sentence.
Star Wars monopoly was the worst game by far. Narrated by Anthony Daniels and occasionally it plays an fmv and on my windows 98 it fucking took like 4 minutes to load
Chest Quest was bitchin. Also when they gave out Roller Coaster Tycoon for free
Great video as always. Toxic masculinity is just a buzzword tho.
