“The blood of the Non believers” is my favorite Cornholio reference. Thank you sir.
"Robocop with a CPAP". I come for the game reviews. I stay for the perfect deadpan humor.
The GamePro scores on the game box is class
This game was the first time I had ever heard Pachelbel's Canon. I loved it and fell in love with classical music. Pre-internet by the way. Heard an orchestrated version in Encarta encyclopedia and somehow put the two together. It was a bit of a surprise to find out that it was a popular wedding song later in life.
I've been really appreciating your recent videos of SNES games like this and the KOEI games because these types of games just rarely ever get talked about nowadays, I certainly wasn't aware just how many PC strategy game ports existed on it until you covered them it's always just fascinating seeing games anachronistic to their respective systems, like how there's inexplicably a Starcraft game on N64
I have played this game WAY too much as a kid. Something about it to me was just fun. I still play from time to time. No manual, no nothing. Just time, grit and failure. Good times. Wish they made something like this nowadays
I grew up with this game as a kid! Very cool to see it covered, I entirely forgot it existed.
As soon as you said "power station" your reference was the first thing i thought of, and i am really glad you included that
As a kid I didn´t understand english and had no manual for the game, but learned the mechanics by trial and error. In the end I liked to fill the whole map with the city until the game glitched.
Oh wow, I was not expecting a K240/Fragile Allegiance reference today. I would love a PCDrunk video on those.
Lovely to see obscure games I used to dig up and read about getting proper reviews. Wish there was a "DOS Drunk" or "Amiga Drunk" type channel that covered obscure games in fun, concise way that you do.
Fragile allegiance is this game’s sequel and it does a lot of what Utopia does but better. This game will always be among my favorites though. The endless hours of sweating on my snes controller just trying to build a functional colony in the first map. Never mind when the aliens start attacking… great game.
I honestly respect and admire the sheer audacity it must have taken to port a strategy game like this to a 16-bit console in spite of the fact that back in those days this kind of game could be clunky and inconvenient to play even on home computers with a full keyboard and sometimes a mouse for controls, let alone a console controller from the 16-bit era that tended to have even fewer buttons available. I wish we had more of that attitude in the modern games industry, even though every time I say "I wish we had [element of 90s gaming] in modern gaming" I can feel myself age a little bit and resemble the old man yells at cloud meme a little more.
Holy smokes, I saw ads for this in my childhood and had completely forgotten them, and then I saw the name and it all came back to me. Great to find out how the game actually plays.
I bought this game from a pawn shop I didn't really grasp the game but wish I would of kept all my SNES games because this looks great! Love city builders!
That GamePro rating on the box really brings me back. Good for them for knowing well enough they needed all the help they could get selling something like this at that time. Also, I remember seeing this game in Nintendo Power, looking up the word in our dictionary, and one of my history teachers being impressed when I used it during class.
Always look forward to the next SNES Drunk video. Also, it was great to experience the unexpected cameo in the latest OSW Review episode! Great Ad Break Questionarium!
Reviews of obscure snes ports of city sims with ZZ Top jokes is the thing I watch this channel for. Thank you for delivering.
Thank you for taking a look at one of the strangest games from my early teens. It was so mysterious and obtuse. I could never figure it out but kept going back to it
