Wheels! - Gameplay

- Part of my Obscure First Person Shooters series: • Obscure First Person S...
Gameplay footage from Wheels! (1998), a "power wheelchair simulation training software." In other words, a first person shooter where you, the wheelchair-bound protagonist, enter a school to cream the evil clowns and mad robots with your pies. There is no strafing. Also, it's built on Bungie's Marathon engine.
Note: After quickly getting rocked in the first level, I load a save game that's near the end of the second level where I proceed to complete it and the subsequent third level, thus beating the entire game. Don't watch if you don't want to spoil the ending!

Because it amused me greatly, I have extracted and posted the game's full soundtrack here: ruclips.net/video/6wj9g_9TJ78/видео.html
Thank you.
That is one 90's soundtrack. Shame it only has three songs.
MarphitimusBlackimus You going to do Damage Inc and Prime Target too? Granted only Damage Inc had a pc port, but what could be more obscure than a Mac fps advertising itself as an "Action-Packed 3D Mystery?"
I've owned Damage Incorporated (the PC port) for some time, and it is indeed on my list of titles to cover, albeit still behind several others I wish to get to first. I've been wanting to check out Prime Target some day, but I haven't been able to track down a copy. While I could simply download it easy enough, I'd have to resort to some form of Mac emulation there, something I'm not at all familiar with.
Wait! Does the game cost 59$ ?
German release of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
xD
Wow, you mean that the German release of Wolfenstein II had *_ACTUAL_* gameplay?
gore is 100% intact in the wolfenstein games xP
actually some german laws were updated this month, and now even we can have swastikas in some games and movies :^)
(but it depends on the context)
Fuck you, I was drinking when I read that
This whole control scheme of having to basically parallel park yourself out of the way of incoming projectiles in bullet time is fucking fascinating to me conceptually.
So it's like Pathways Into Darkness if you don't read the manual before playing.
Well, that's one way to try to excuse tank controls.
Actually Ed undying!
:D
Ahh, the Clownumbine massacre. A tragedy to clowns all around the world.
MrGrandmaster never forget

this aged like fine wine
It's pretty surreal to think of this being made on the Marathon engine knowing that Halo's original RTS prototype was being worked on at the time.
Wheels!: Clowns Evolved
"Very Special Thanks to Bungie Software, for all their support"
beautiful
I did not expect the soundtrack to rock as hard as it does.
Level 3’s music sounds like a completely different game and I love it
and they say that cry of fear was the first fps where you ride on a wheel chair
Zeno wait, do you REALLY ride in a wheelchair in Cry of Fear? (I didn't get to that bit in the game), but I do remember Wolfenstein 2 starting off as you in a wheelchair.
@@jozinek876 it was the final boss fight if I remember correctly
crystalizer 32 wow..... The reason I stopped Cry of Fear was because it was crashed so fucking often. It's just a very unoptimised game, otherwise I definitely would've continued, it was such a hilarious game with great atmosphere.
@@jozinek876 ah that's understandable but yeah it was in the final boss fight real world simon (wheelchair simon) has a gunfight with his insane self who has every weapon you come across in the game (well at least your m16 and shotgun) while wheelchair simon only has a pistol
0:25 Bullet Time
This game was ahead of its time.
We're getting all these sequels and reboots while we still have no word on wheels eternal
He's replaced his legs with tank treads.
This takes me back. Couldn't remember the name of this game at all, used to pop in my memory once in a while for some odd reason, maybe because of the stupidly amusing soundtrack and goofy visuals. This used to be in my Windows 95 PC that I got for free when I was a kid. I don't know who the hell installed it there, but it was there, and I played it. Damn.
Same, I had it on an old mac as a kid. I was reminded of it just recently but couldn't remember the name and here it is. Even today I remember the intro music and that loud ass death scream clear as day
Did this just end up on a bunch of PCs unexplained? I had completely forgotten about the game until I saw this, brought back a flood of memories, but looking at the timescale I would have played it the year it was released. Was it given away for free with something?
I had this on my families pc as a kid too, only remembered gameplay of throwing pies at things and that the visuals looked like baldies basics. I think I used to love this game, I think maybe I was kinda scared of the clowns so perhaps this was like doom for childhood me. strange how simple and cheap it looks now but it really was one of my favourites games as a kid
The most ambitious FPS of our generation.
_"Cream the clowns"_
Lewd.
Count Orlok I can just imagine some people misinterpreting that as something else....
_...thatwasthejokethoughmydude..._
Jozinek I believe an whoosh is an order, wouldn't you agree?
Count Orlok I know
1:33 So that's where that screaming sound was from!
It sounds like a cropped piece of the FNAF 1 scream
@@mothramaster1837 Because the fnaf 1 scream was an edited stock child scream sound effect
Wft??????? Five night at freddy
Ironically, the engine used for this game is called Marathon.
Are you referring to that old, forgotten, Bungie game?
@@aquajet2817 he is
This is the weirdest round of Space Station 13 I've ever seen.
; why are there so many clowns oh god
Heyyyyyy!!!!
Nah it’s pretty normal
Lone greytider single handedly saves the entire station from clown ops
Holy shit this triggered some DEEP SEEDED memories. I have no idea how or why I played this game as a kid, but seeing it again is truly a marvel.
So this is that game that caused columbine?
*DooM: Eternal* Leaked gameplay footage
Double Aught's Duality leaked alpha
not enough mortally challenged.
"Half life is the most important game of 1998"
yeah right.
The save icon is a tape recorder. I guess a floppy drive wasn't archaic enough. We're going full retro, baby!
Holy hell, I used to play a demo of this thing as a kid!
Could never find good footage of this, so some people thought I was trolling when I described it.
I keep expecting it to turn into a horror game.
That idea is getting a bit stale
1:34 That scream :D Dear god!
Goddamn the soundtrack is surprisingly good.
I like how the HUD takes up all the screen. more game should do that.
plenty old games do, it was a way to save power on weaker hardware, if your play space is smaller its much easier to render.
@@Slash0mega Yeah I'm 40. I know. However never seen one even half that big. Doom's, Wolf's and Quake's are all about half that size.
@@killerspinach8256 gotta go back farther than that for the real chunky ones. midimaze {or faceball) for the atari st is one such example and i think doom had the option to shrink the window farther for potato PCs of the time
@@Slash0mega Yeah you could shrink that window way down, good point. The other two are before my time.
Baldi's Basics 2 looks great.
No please
Apparently, this still costs 60 dollars.
They couldnt make the player strafe so they just said "let him be on a wheelchair" and thats why you cant strafe(?)
So as someone who dug through the files of Wheels!, the game's developed in the laziest way i've ever seen ever in the history of game development.. It turns out it's just marathon 2 but just *barely* modified to be different. All the original marathon 2 enemies sprites are still there but replaced with dummy sprites, and the clown has an unused (and possibly placeholder) sprite of a marathon security officer but with the clown's palette. There's even a copy of Marathon 2's unmodified original physics file sitting around. So yes, there was strafing to begin with
The game was made for kids in wheelchairs. Yes, really.
Recently I have been looking for a lot of old games I played as a kid. Been struggling to find a lot of them. I had a vague memory of a game so googled "game, clowns, custard pies, hospital". In the back of my mind I was thinking I'm sure there was a wheelchair involved. First result was this video. Clicked on it and watched but still wasn't sure, but I had a distinct memory of a song with the line "theres no need to fear" repeating. Clicked on your OST link and BOOM! First song!
Nice! Glad you managed to find it
Baldi's Basics 2: Crippled pies and clowns as bad guys.
This game has speedruns, difficulty actually determines game speed and level size.
This game is on the same engine as marathon which is fucking hilarious considering marathon was one of the most advanced FPS games to preceed the build engine.
*"Frag like it's 1999"*
The PineApple toxikk II looks great
TBH, this was released in 1997 or 1998.
I both hate and love everything about this game
I remember playing this game on the school computer in 1st grade 2006 i was actually scared of it the first time but it always stuck with me, been trying to look for it for awhile now.
For such a derpy game it's got a sick soundtrack. Sounds like they went for S3M files instead of midi or CD audio
The death s cream of the protagonist 1:34 legit sounds like the jumpscare sound of FNAF 1
This scream is taken from the 1981 movie Inseminoid
Lol got an ad for tires
I got an ad for a power scooter
Pretty poor commitment to the wheelchair theme since your viewport is way too high for someone sitting down.
I like the positively Lynchian sound design and the Kafkaesque lead pie in a one dimensional vaccuum physics
Who cares if they dont feel like theyre sitting in a wheel chair in game, this game was meant to teach kids who actually sat on wheel chairs on how to move with them. Click on the reference link in desc. Itll tell u.
I had this on a CD ROM from a UK shop called Poundstretcher. The CD-ROM was called ‘Premium Kids Games’ and I’ve spent a lifetime trying to find a copy of it.
It really gets across how difficult gun fighting is when confined to a wheelchair.
I played the hell outta this game at Elementary School. My first introduction to the fps genre
I played the demo version a lot when I was little
*CREAM THE CLOWNS*

I love this series! Please, make more eps. Greetings from Brazil!
tbm sou br bom saber q n sou o unico
Não somos os unicos, eu tenho 27 anos e lembro de com 3-4 anos jogar esse jogo num windows 98
Damn, two vids in one day!
Legendary.
so the game says this runs on the marathon engine which was created by Bungie.
Could you link footage of that engine, i cant find it
Nevermind i found it
I have no idea why, but I remember playing this game back in 2000 or 2001. I didn't play it very much, but I remember thinking how weird it was. I'm just now learning about the wheelchair element of it, which explains the slow controls.
1:37 Odd, but that sounds almost like the first Five Nights at Freddy’s jumpscare sound when played in full
Penguinsfishing
I think it's a stock sound
Finally I fucking found this fucking game! Haven't played this in like.. What... 20 years? My god. I remember looking at those 2d doors always wondering what was behind them.. I need to play this immediatly
I was searching for this after remembering we played it in computer class in elementary school in the 90s. Seems ahead of it's time looking back, that pie dodge at the start? Wow.
0:57 i read objective number two in more ways than one.
The world's slowest fps
So Surprised that this runs on Marathon Engine.
This was the game with Dylan and Eric was obsessed for
Ahhh... I remember this game. It is quite hard to find a gameplay footage of Wheels! even on RUclips. The fact that the bullets (pies) move significantly slower than in other games really distinguishes it from other FPS titles.
Bootleg version of Minoan War by Koto at 1:51
memories!
I can totally tell this uses the Marathon engine. Unmistakable teleportation effects + invincibility timing and sparkles.
1:35
The FNAF scream was a stock noise the whole time......?
What's next? the citadel ambient screaming is a stock sound?
*Wait.........*
This game used to be life in the early 2000's the music of the gave gives me such nostalgia.
btw if you download this game run "wheels.exe" instead of "run wheels.exe" for the full version of the game lol.
idk why but this looks so genuinely soulful
Listen to that midi track..can you feel the beat?
A lot of the sound effects from this game seem to be lifted from a game called Gazillionaire. Although those sound effects may well be lifted from somewhere else.
The web page for this game is unavailable.
I hope someone saved the game so that others can still play it.
Family Friendly DOOM
the game you are looking for is chex quest
Feel like this has a secret meaning to it
The FNAF jumpscare sound effect plays when you die. great.
I’ve been looking for this game for years
Never knew there was a juggalo-killer simulator.
Wow, I hesitated to watch this one, but here I am, haha. Strange use of the Marathon engine. Looks like their page for the game is still up too, which kind of clarifies the intent of this particular game: www.rjcooper.com/wheels/
The death sound effect is the same one that is used in FNAF when the robots jumpscare you
Whee
Not the same. I checked.
Panzermann11 Listen to the full audio
Whats with the horrific death scream lmao
My dad had this game on his Mac even though no one in my family is crippled
Well, not physically anyway
This shit so hard without strafes 😆.
Btw, this needs to be played on Aleph One if possible.
doom but with pyrovision™ and a disabled kid instead of the doom slayer
It's doomguy, you fucking casual.
1:34 fnaf scream
I've been finding this shit for so many years.
Guys this is Marathon deepest lore drop ever, this is either the subliminal dream experienced during the electric dream levels, one of the recurrent dreams of marathon man, or blurry twisted memories from his past life
Usual fan mod for Baldi's Basics
Except it’s actually good
The music the 2nd level is pretty awesome midi tunes!
Now this is what I call a Classic of Game
The music starting at 1:53 is a beastin' banger
Yo jugaba a este juego de pequeño en un Windows 95 jajajajaja que recuerdoss!!
The Matrix is much more colourful than I thought.
The yelling sounds when the pc dies sounds like fnaf yells
Son: Mum can I buy Doom 1993?
Mum: Son, we already have Doom 1993 at home.
*Doom 1993 at home:*
This reminds me of Bad Toys 3D that came preinstalled with a pc that my dad bought in the 2000's lol
The player death sound sounds like a FNaF jumpscare sound
watched for gameplay, stayed for soundtrack.
Doom Eternal is looking great
Well, this aged brilliantly.
There is a conversion of this for the Aleph One engine.
Doom eternal looks great!
crippled kid shooting cream pies and getting cream pies and eating cream pies simulator
how horrifying
