@@SpecialNeedsLuther803 likely for many that was the case as I’m pretty sure Interplay was a major advertising partner for them. However, I was in kindergarten when this came out and did not have any video games at home, so it was likely in a comic book. 😆
I love how he travels in actual toilets, like Mario travels through pipes. Boogerman is such a 90's IP 1:52 "Heh heh! Hey Butthead, he said dump" "Uh huh huh, cool. Dump"
I'll say it once and I'll say it again...they should have had some cross promo with beavis and butthead playing sega games and riffing on them like they did music videos. This would've been the perfect game for them to play and commentate.
Boogerman had one button on the 6 button controller which was for Taunting (character pose and yelling out "Booger") which if I remember correctly was the Z button and couldn't be done on the 3 button controller.
That's cool, I never knew that. I had a 3rd party 6 button controller that really wasn't a bad controller but for some reason I used the 3 button official controllers over it because I really had no games that made use of the 6 button ones.
I remember renting this when I was 14 and being very impressed with the animation. Especially how well animated the bosses were for such large sprites. Also the speech was very good for a genesis title. BOOGER!
Boogerman was one of the games I played the most back in the day. But it’s also one a lot of people I mention it to have never heard of. Love that you covered it here!
I must have been 8 when we played tjis game, me and my brothers absolutely loved it, we laughed our asses off, but as you mentioned it was actually a fun game too.
Always enjoy the content, Sega Lord. I'm 42, and am a veteran of the 16 bit console wars (Nintendo side). Your videos are always the perfect length. Thanks for consistently good content.
hi Lord, here in Brazil it's a well knowned game, and it's humor is the same as Earthworm Jim's. I have 41 years old now, and I don't remember anyone saying bad things about this game back in the day, but, like you, I never really play it.........and I never met anyone that got to the end of this game or Earthworm Jim's
My sister and I played Boogerman on the Sega Channel. Me being around 11 and her being around 9, the toilet humor definitely appealed to us at the time.
I was 8 years old when this game was released and of course it was right up my alley back then LOL. Played it a lot on the Mega Drive and later on the SNES. The Brazilian gaming magazines may have hated it, but almost every kid I knew liked the game.
Somebody had a fully developed vision and they pulled out all the stops to make. Wow, just wow. I guess this would be like The Tick. I wonder if there is a relation.
For whatever reason the main thing I remember about this game is that the instruction manual referred to farts as 'frrts,' presumably because 'fart' was considered too inappropriate. I'm so glad that's taking up space somewhere in my brain thirty years later.
*To the tune of the 1960's Spider-Man theme* ♫Boogerman! Boogerman! Does whatever a booger can! Spits a hock, any size, And makes a sneeze with snot that flies! Hey there! There goes the Boogerman!

Gruesome, lame, He's ignored, Bile is his reward. To him, life is a great big epic fail, Wherever there's a hang nail, You'll find the Boogerman!♫
I look at the games and shows my kids watch today and "gross" never come up. I never realized it until now , but gross out humar lived and died with us 90s kids.
Yup, and I kinda wonder why. Like, what was it about this particular era that made it so popular, only to then more or less die out? I mean, there have been cartoons since then which dabbled in the stuff. The amazing misadventures of flapjack loved to have scenes where the animation style would change to some really deranged Ren and Stimpy stuff, and Adult Swim's got a TON of shows over the years that can be as gross as the worst of them... but it got SUPER big then in the 90's, and then never again. Really wonder what happened there.
Your content is so good my dude! Makes me want to play just because you describe it so well! I hope you never get sick of doing this and also would love it if you made a Blu-ray with all your episodes! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Matt Furniss was one of the best composers on the platform IMO. Not my favourite work of his, but his compositions/FM programming were always on point…plus, best drum samples in the business (sorry Yuzo!)
EGM was all OVER the place with their reviews back in the day. Much like GamePro giving nearly every game sky high ratings, EGM would give, say, Final Fantasy 2/4 middling reviews. You know, a game today considered one of the greatest of all time, and they let their SPORTS game reviewer have at it. Crap like that is why I never trust critics and reviewers unless literally every source is giving something rock bottom ratings, whether it be movies, TV or games.
This game's a funny one to look back on. The 90's was the time of "extreeeme!1" and so forth, you'd think a game in intentional bad taste with cool animation would seem like a good idea... but I also remember reviews saying it wasn't much fun, and quite frankly it was competing with Donkey Kong Country, Sonic and Knuckles and Earthworm Jim. ALL of these characters have way stronger appeal than Boogerman, who just doesn't feel like he's as strong a mascot as any of those other guys. He just doesn't look as cool, and I can see that kids going by the cover will compare Boogerman to others and find him, if not lacking, then definitely a lower priority. Add on to that the magazines are REALLY bad at selling Boogerman: I had no idea until now that the animations were so smooth as they were! In stills where you just have the, as SLX said, paltry backgrounds and unmoving sprites, Boogerman is just not as compelling as any of the aforementioned games. So you have a game you have to see in action to understand the appeal, IF you see the appeal in the first place, and which releases in competition with some of the genres kings. No wonder Boogerman attempts to break wind just got it broken instead.
Yay! you reviewed Boogerman! You're the man segalord X! Its worth noting that Snes is a little bit diffrent to the megadrive. some of the levels layouts vary and diffrent enemies appear. Its interesting for comparsion between megadrive. I think Blast processing gave this game the edge :)
Boogerman was seriously one of my favorite games and one of my favorite action heroes of the 90s. Although I owned only an SNES I mostly played Boogerman on my cousin's Genesis. I have since also played it on the SNES but the Genesis remains my favorite way to play. I loved its sense of humor. Always wanted a sequel, but unfortunately that hasn't happened. I'll have to give this one another play... I have so much nostalgia for it. A truly great, one of a kind game and totally unforgettable hero.
Boogerman’s flashing cape reminds me of the Caped Koopas in “Super Mario World” with flashing capes. The ones who give you a Cape Feather when you take them out.
This isn't out of the ballpark. Even aero the acrobat had a planned cartoon that never saw the light of day. Granted, all we know of it is that some commercials hinted at it having a 1995 air date.
@@evan2902 And Bubsy. "What could possibly go wrong?". I guess Sonic was obviously a major reason for all the other mascots that wanted to be edgy and cool. Some were, others weren't. It was the 90s. lol
I'm so excited you're covering this. It's one of my favorite games growing up. Yes, the humor is immature but the game is good and you gotta remember this was in the 90s where gross out humor was big among kids at that time. I got sad when the kickstarter for a sequel failed.
I remember a game mag had stickers that would overlay the 3 button Genesis controller for this game. The ads were everywhere. I think they really wanted this to be the next EWJ.
yea i mean its alright, it is well animated and the music is decent for that sound engine. Much like you I was like 18-19 at the time and my genesis had been kind of sidelined as I played mostly on PC at the time. One week during the summer, a buddy of mine's family had to go out of town to deal with some inheritance property or some stuff and asked if his little brother Mike could crash with us so he didn't miss a day camp for football, parents said sure, it was on my way to work so no biggie... long story short he brought up a stack of genesis games and this was one of them. It was fun but he mostly played my games cause they were all the older "black box" ones he didnt have
Now see, I was in the same boat. I was older too when this came out and completely dismissed it due to its stupid humor. I gave it a go on one of the emulators I had some years back and was thrown off by its production, so much so that it lead me here. The humor is still aggravating but its quality is undeniable.
I loved this game's soundtrack. Especially Flatulent Swamps. The drop was awesome. The gameplay and graphics were some of Interplay's finest before Fallout was released. It still holds up today as well. Immature, maybe. Fun, definitely.
For me it was the caves. I have to wonder if maybe mucus mountains and the caverns were meant to be their own distinct worlds but got smashed together due to time constraints.
I remember this game coming out. They had some of the developers on a kids Saturday morning program talking about it. They were so convinced it would be a mega hit and they announced the sequel before the first game was even out. It bombed hard and there never was a sequel lol
Man, I can kinda see their confidence considering the 90's was the time of "extreeeme!1" and so forth, that a game in intentional bad taste with cool animation would seem like a good idea... but I also remember reviews saying it wasn't much fun, and quite frankly it was competing with Donkey Kong Country, Sonic and Knuckles and Earthworm Jim. ALL of these characters have way stronger appeal than Boogerman, who just doesn't feel like he's as strong a mascot as any of those other guys. It just doesn't look as cool, it won't make the kids want to buy the game.
Nice! It's definitely one of my favorite Genesis games I owned back in the day! It's great to see ya review it because you almost never hear anyone ever talk about it and honestly, it's actually an ok game beyond it's gross-out humor gimmick. I remember when I picked it out as a kid and my mother was just completely aghast and couldn't believe something like it existed! Thankfully, she still bought it for me! It might not have the best game but I still got a ton of enjoyment out of it and just thought it was one of the coolest and most unique ideas for a game. I also remember trying to explain the game to my friends at school, and I always got the weirdest looks and most thought I was making it all up! I remember even being picked on, because I was talking about such gross things like that...I don't think I ever met another kid that owned the game, which was kinda weird because you'd think it would've sold pretty well or at least would've been a little bit more well-know.
SLX, I was 11 when this came out and I thought it was extremely immature and disgusting. I also lived in the Middle East at the time and the subject matter (boogers, farts, etc...) was frowned upon. In any case thanks for the video - it did bring back some memories. 🤣
It’s really not a terrible game, but for all its great animation, I absolutely get burned out by the neon green everywhere- even with later stages changing it up, it still feels overly monochromatic. Had they used a little texture in the vast pools of green, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to me.
I played a lot of this when I was a kid! The humor was right up my alley and I enjoy platformers. Now that I'm an adult I still laugh at this game because I never grew up! This video reminded me of this game and I should let my son play it.
I'm in the same boat as you were. Messed with this for a bit but never really dove in all the way when it's humour didn't hook me right off the bat. Maybe I'll take a closer peek.
Boogermiester (the last boss) was tough. Once you memorized his attack pattern, it was a lot easier to beat him. Kudos to Sega Lord X for adding the intro the Boogermiester fight.
Love the 90s vibe. It's extremelly 90s in every sence. Didn't remember the super good animation! I never finished it. I'll try to play it again. Awesome memories 🤩
This is one of those games that you just need to play to understand. I only ever saw the ads for it on GamePro magazine and comic books. I never played it and never knew anyone who had. My friends and I turned our noses up at it(get it?!) and stuck to Sonic and Streets of Rage and such. But these days, with all the reviews out there, it looks fun as hell.
It didn't sell very well from what I remember. And the reviews often compared to earthworm Jim and thought that the graphics for this game was kind of bland
The issue is that by this point, 2D platformers were just overdone. It's like how brawlers died in the early '90s. After Double Dragon, everyone and their mum were making brawlers, and after Super Mario Bros, everyone and their mum were making platformers, and we just got sick of them.
On the other hand, the Donkey Kong Country series released at the same time and sold well, both 1 which was contemporary with this, and 2 and 3, as well as Yoshi's Island. Buuut on the other hand those were also Nintendo's top-tier talents getting big advertizing budgets and getting extra focus, but I do recall that 2D platformers overall weren't really doing setting the world on fire anymore.
@@goranisacson2502 For Donkey Kong Country, it was to do with "originality points" of using 3D pre-renders, which I personally thought looked appalling, but was enough to get it over the line. For Yoshi's Island, it was the impressive 3DFX chip effects with real time scaling and next to no slowdown.
@@fattomandeibu True, they did have some really cool-looking effects, stuff that looked good even in stills. Boogerman, if you were even into the gross-out humor in the first place, only really looked good when you saw the sprites in motion. In stills, due to the boring backgrounds and sort of bland protagonist, the game really didn't impress.
I missed a lot of Sega Lord X videos. I can't front the title of this game is wild and crazy 😧🤣 boogerman 😂 anyways, much appreciated what you doing, SLX 😊
I passed on this one at the time, but recently picked up the Interplay collection on Everdrive, and I actually really liked it too. You nailed it. It's really stupid, and obscenely disgusting, but it's still a lot of fun, and technically impressive. The kids will get a kick out of it. I know mine did.
Idk if you've ever played Keio The Flying Squadron 2 on the Saturn but I feel it's an overlooked under appreciated platformer full of charm and wackiness similar to games like Dynamite Heady and Earthworm Jim.
I grew up with this game as kid, loved it then and love it now. The music the gameplay the animation was incredible for a toilet humor type game. Its really no different than the South Park games, in fact I wouldn't doubt Matt and Trey played this game and was inspired to have the same fart attacks in their game.

Boogerman was one of those games you rented as a joke, but were blown away by it. Loved it when he proudly exclaimed Booger!!! 😂
It's amazing how much this game had to offer with just 3 Megabytes:
20 Stages
5 Boss Fights
Mostly Audible Voices
1,800 Animation Cels
I remember the print ad like yesterday, “He thinks he’s a hero… but he’s snot.” Don’t remember where I saw it though.
Probably Gamepro

Clayfighter 63 ⅓ is the actual name on the box.
Boogerman, Earthworm Jim and Clayfighter share the same game universe... would love for a return of these three franchises.
Very cool I had no idea!

To this day, I am the only person I know that played and beat Boogerman. Took 2 rentals from Blockbuster but we did it!
Somebody had a fully developed vision and they pulled out all the stops to make.
Wow, just wow.
I guess this would be like The Tick. I wonder if there is a relation.
The local flea market's gaming booth had Boogerman as it's playable Genesis display game for 25 years right up to the end when the market shutdown.

I remember even being picked on, because I was talking about such gross things like that...I don't think I ever met another kid that owned the game, which was kinda weird because you'd think it would've sold pretty well or at least would've been a little bit more well-know.
The 90's was the barf era.
SLX, I was 11 when this came out and I thought it was extremely immature and disgusting. I also lived in the Middle East at the time and the subject matter (boogers, farts, etc...) was frowned upon. In any case thanks for the video - it did bring back some memories. 🤣
It’s really not a terrible game, but for all its great animation, I absolutely get burned out by the neon green everywhere- even with later stages changing it up, it still feels overly monochromatic. Had they used a little texture in the vast pools of green, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to me.
Great video. I enjoyed this game a lot back in the 90’s and I still enjoy it today.
This is the embodiment of mid-90s gross out humor.
Get your fingers out your nose it’s booger time 😂
It's like they took the complaint that Genesis sound effects often sound like farts and just ran with it.
The SNES version is borderline unplayable because of the screen crunch, and the fact you are moving near the right of the screen when it scrolls.
My mom hated it when I would rent this game From blockbuster lol!
I played a lot of this when I was a kid! The humor was right up my alley and I enjoy platformers. Now that I'm an adult I still laugh at this game because I never grew up! This video reminded me of this game and I should let my son play it.
I was 10 years old and still a couple years away from getting my saturn. This game was smack dab in the middle of my kind of game! I loved it.
The best quote from the game. “Booger!”

This gives me PilotRedSun vibes. Like this would be the fake game that one of the characters is playing.
I remember renting and beating this over a weekend as kid😂 good times🙌🏾
I'm in the same boat as you were. Messed with this for a bit but never really dove in all the way when it's humour didn't hook me right off the bat. Maybe I'll take a closer peek.
I have no memory of this game, but it reminds me of Night of the Tentacles
I'm British and this game was really popular.
Boogermiester (the last boss) was tough. Once you memorized his attack pattern, it was a lot easier to beat him. Kudos to Sega Lord X for adding the intro the Boogermiester fight.
Bonus fact: This title was slated for a remaster, but it didn't hit the Kickstarter asking sum 🌈
Love the 90s vibe. It's extremelly 90s in every sence. Didn't remember the super good animation! I never finished it. I'll try to play it again. Awesome memories 🤩
This was the funniest thing in the world as a kid and now that I'm an adult it's still the funniest thing in the world.
Old Boogerman cool to have him here. THX! Good Stuff!
Great review! I loved this game as a kid
This was one of my favorite games way back when! I played it over and over.
I remember this being launched here in Brazil back in the day. I was a teenager but even then I couldn't stand this 5th grade sort of humour...
It was very popular game in Russia then
Russian gamers have good taste
What the hell. I've never even heard of this game.
Do a video on all the interplay games. Seemed like they all had amazing animation and graphics but ehhh game play. Great video as usual!
This is one of those games that you just need to play to understand. I only ever saw the ads for it on GamePro magazine and comic books. I never played it and never knew anyone who had. My friends and I turned our noses up at it(get it?!) and stuck to Sonic and Streets of Rage and such. But these days, with all the reviews out there, it looks fun as hell.
It didn't sell very well from what I remember. And the reviews often compared to earthworm Jim and thought that the graphics for this game was kind of bland
This is why 90's games were the best! Great titles, awesome gameplay and you just put the game in and didn't have to wait for it to download.
The issue is that by this point, 2D platformers were just overdone. It's like how brawlers died in the early '90s. After Double Dragon, everyone and their mum were making brawlers, and after Super Mario Bros, everyone and their mum were making platformers, and we just got sick of them.
On the other hand, the Donkey Kong Country series released at the same time and sold well, both 1 which was contemporary with this, and 2 and 3, as well as Yoshi's Island.
Buuut on the other hand those were also Nintendo's top-tier talents getting big advertizing budgets and getting extra focus, but I do recall that 2D platformers overall weren't really doing setting the world on fire anymore.
@@goranisacson2502 For Donkey Kong Country, it was to do with "originality points" of using 3D pre-renders, which I personally thought looked appalling, but was enough to get it over the line. For Yoshi's Island, it was the impressive 3DFX chip effects with real time scaling and next to no slowdown.
And then everyone and their mum started making 3D polygon games and I got sick of that.
@@fattomandeibu True, they did have some really cool-looking effects, stuff that looked good even in stills. Boogerman, if you were even into the gross-out humor in the first place, only really looked good when you saw the sprites in motion. In stills, due to the boring backgrounds and sort of bland protagonist, the game really didn't impress.
I missed a lot of Sega Lord X videos. I can't front the title of this game is wild and crazy 😧🤣 boogerman 😂 anyways, much appreciated what you doing, SLX 😊
_This_ needs a AAA 4K60 remake. XD
I was 10 when this game came out and i loved it then and i still love it now.
Great video! This game was my jam when i was 10 years old.
I passed on this one at the time, but recently picked up the Interplay collection on Everdrive, and I actually really liked it too. You nailed it. It's really stupid, and obscenely disgusting, but it's still a lot of fun, and technically impressive. The kids will get a kick out of it. I know mine did.
Idk if you've ever played Keio The Flying Squadron 2 on the Saturn but I feel it's an overlooked under appreciated platformer full of charm and wackiness similar to games like Dynamite Heady and Earthworm Jim.
I grew up with this game as kid, loved it then and love it now. The music the gameplay the animation was incredible for a toilet humor type game. Its really no different than the South Park games, in fact I wouldn't doubt Matt and Trey played this game and was inspired to have the same fart attacks in their game.
Now I have to check it out!
