I would pay Sega Lord to Narrate my life and my funeral.
Outro theme while being laid into the ground works too. Like activating an After-Life Mode
Same.
SAGA!!
How much does he charge for a recorded Eulogy?
Nerds
Boogerman was also playable in ClayFighter N64 along with Earthworm Jim.
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!
Cool
Boogeyman had me laughing, and he was a very good character with good moves
Sega Lord X is one of the few people on the planet who can say chili pepper infused ass jet and still sound classy and professional.
Although it’s the first time I’ve heard ‘divisive’ pronounced that way.
@@kramalerav That was a little odd, but not as weird as hearing some call a bagel a baghoul. I've heard that one multiple times on several channels.
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 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
@@justinjahn1340 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. 😆
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
A pick and flick adventure, instead of point and click. I just got that. 30 years later.
Wow
Me too embarrassingly
.....oh yeah. Huh
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 there was a Kickstarter for a Boogerman HD remaster or remake but it failed to meet its target goal
I wonder why it failed xD
@@KannX The humor for nowadays standards probably was too snotty, but damn, who gives a fart about it?
Game kinda sucks.
They were acting like Boogerman was this 90's institution lol
aw I was just looking on steam and wondering why I didnt see it there
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.
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.
This is a fun little game. it gets often overlooked with the plethora of Platformers on the Genesis
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.
EGM gave Virtual Bart an 8?!? Someone got paid 🙄😬🤑
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.
That's why I respect Roger Ebert as a critic, even in movies he didn't like he could almost always find something positive to say about it.
i give Virtual Bart a 7, it's fun and i love the variety, but it's WAY too damn hard.
@@UltimateGamerCC that's what she said 😏
Way back when, these animations really impressed me 😅
These animations impress me now!! I had only ever seen stills of the game in magazines but seeing it in action, it looks fantastic!!
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.
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!
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.
I bet that a Boogerman cartoon was gonna be made, but was eventually cancelled. I can see why, though. lol
Yeah, they made cartoons of pretty much everything back then. They did one for Q-Bert and that game got basically no story.
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
To this day, I am the only person I know that played and beat Boogerman. Took 2 rentals from Blockbuster but we did it!
I’ve been singing praises of this game since I got it when it was 10 in 1994
"by transexisting it to dimension x-crement." 😂😂😂
*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!
Is he gross?
Listen bud,
He's got gonorrhea for blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
No, but if he farts, you're dead!
Hey, there!
There goes the Boogerman!
In the chill of night,
At the free night buffet,
Like a silent fart,
He arrives and is here to stay!
Boogerman, Boogerman!
Takes a dump in a garbage can!
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 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 those games you rented as a joke, but were blown away by it. Loved it when he proudly exclaimed Booger!!! 😂
2 days, 2 uploads? Blessed
A far-out art style? I’d say Earthworm Jim had a groooovy art style.
And this one had a fart-out artstyle :D
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.
Get your fingers out your nose it’s booger time 😂
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 forgot how smooth the sprite animation in this game was. That sort of craftsmanship and detail was definitely lost on me when I played it as a kid.
I’m not some sort of “boogerman”. - Mr. Burns
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!)
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.
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!
I remember renting this from a Hollywood video store
I had entirely forgotten about this game until today. Used to play it on my friend's MD. I remember it being pretty fun!
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.
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.
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 :)
This game has ass blast processing!
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.
I too love the flatulent swamps song. What I like most is the drums. Fits the game really well.
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.
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.
Great video. I enjoyed this game a lot back in the 90’s and I still enjoy it today.
Back in the day when we were allowed to have a sense of humour! I had it for my SNES and played it a lot. I've been reintroduced to it recently through Evercade as it features on the Interplay collection (the Mega Drive version) and it's still as much fun as ever, which just shows that as I've got older, my sense of humour didn't 😂
If anything my sense of humor has gotten more mature as I get older.
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.
@@goranisacson2502 this guy reviewed it well. But I've always considered it garbage.
"I was 20 years old when this game came out" Are you telling me you're pushing 50?
Getting closer to it every day.
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.
Played so much of this one. I still love the music, especially that bass line in the first level.
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 🤩
Great review! I loved this game as a kid
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.
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
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.
Gross out humor is the best...it's "dirty" enough to be edgy to a kid, it annoys parents and prudes. (SCORE!)
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.
"Boogerman." I'm definitely going to introduce my 8 year old son to this game. He'll find this absolutely hilarious.
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. 🤣
Love this game. Beat it again and again when I was a kid. Fun times
Can't believe I actually owned this classic
My mom rented this game for me back in the day and hated it😂. I beat it though and was pretty proud of myself
I love Boogerman so much. There is no better boss name as Deodor Ant.
Great video! This game was my jam when i was 10 years old.
This was one of my favorite games way back when! I played it over and over.
I’m pretty sure i asked for this review on another video . Coincidence or not thank you 🙏🏻
Now I have to check it out!
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.
_This_ needs a AAA 4K60 remake. XD
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.
This is the embodiment of mid-90s gross out humor.
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!
I remember renting and beating this over a weekend as kid😂 good times🙌🏾
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.
6:53
This gives me PilotRedSun vibes. Like this would be the fake game that one of the characters is playing.
This game is the shit. I'd love a modern version of it with extra detail.
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 have no memory of this game, but it reminds me of Night of the Tentacles
One of the best platformers on the system, imo. Music is awesome, gameplay is fun, only negative I would say is the bosses follow the same set pattern with each one (attack, then switch sides).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Regardless of how SLX feels about this game (currently have it paused on an advertisement, so I didn't see the full review yet, and frankly, I don't REALLY feel the need to since this is a game I played already...), I never felt this was a bad game. To me, I always felt it was an underrated gem of the 16-bit era, especially when it you realize it's target audience were little kids who like gross-out humor.
Even as an adult, it's the little things that make me enjoy this game. Sure, the bosses are pretty standard with biased-as-all-hell hitboxes and the level designs tend to get repetitive, but the character animations and kick-ass music make it all worthwhile to me. This is a game I currently have in my short but sweet Genesis Game Library, and the haters always make me want to come right back to it to say, "Don't listen to 'em, Booger Boy...You're fine just the way you are..."
Also, while I'm here, I may as well be the minority here and say the Kickstarter deserved better.
*IMMEDIATE EDIT AFTER WATCHING THE REVIEW:* Well, just found out SLX never played this game up until now, but for what it's worth, he still played it through and seemingly had a good time, farts and all...Proud of you, man.
So I was eight years old around 2004 when I first played this game. I absolutely ate it up because I was discovering shows like south park and beavis and butthead around the same time. The fact that the toilets worked just like the pipes in mario was enough to make me giggle. As an adult I still think it's an alright game if you can tolerate some of its western design tendencies (fake walls, some weird collision detection) but not as good as something like earthworm Jim.
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 had this in the Genesis, fun game, played it a lot
I remember the sound track the most about this game
Very good review. Well thought and truly given a proper go.
Seriously? In front of my salad?
I'm British and this game was really popular.
It's like they took the complaint that Genesis sound effects often sound like farts and just ran with it.
I loved playing this game!
Bonus fact: This title was slated for a remaster, but it didn't hit the Kickstarter asking sum 🌈
You sure know how to pick them!
It had to be done eventually.
@@SegaLordX I'm glad you didn't turn up your nose at this one.
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.
It's pretty good. My only criticisms are for the stages that I think could be subdivided into just three levels to not make the gameplay so boring. And the bosses could only have 5 or 6 of HP, so the confrontations don't get too long.
He went there
Now you need to review EWJ 1+2 for Genesis (I know you reviewed the Sega CD and Saturn ports)
The green in the Boogerman game also hurt the eyes, so much green.
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.
Man I wish I would have played this game when I was a kid but thought it was a poor man's Earthworm Jim but I'm going to pick this one up.
One of my favorite Mega Drive (genesis) games.
