That One Time Robert De Niro Made A Video Game

Umm Joe Perry not Steve Perry lol. Steve Perry is the Journey lead singer, or was. Joe Perry is the lead guitarist for Aerosmith. Good video though this would be wild on acid lmao!!

That ending can only be rivaled by the ending to Limbo of the Lost.

"Christopher Reeve's Estate for Uninspired Artists" would be an amazing 2000s throwback math rock or industrial-ambient-prog band name tho.

What a trippy game - great way to start the 2024 dungeon chill season

Weird 90s first person 3D point and clicks might be my favourite genre in the entire world.

It's weird how many of these hyper-expensive, star studded, genre-breaking videogames just turned into trippy point n click things from the 90s and could all be the same game. I'm mainly thinking of The Eye but I know there's at least two or three more.

fun fact: jim belushi's character salty is based on a character played by his brother john in steven spielberg's "1941"

As Ross from Game Dungeon would say, adding in even a single action element to your puzzle solving point and click game is a death sentence.

I swear to god I can only hear that robot saying "UP FOR SOME SL*T CORRECTION?"

I had never heard of this game before. Like, to the point where I wasn't even aware DeNiro was ever involved in game making and none of the characters seem even remotely familiar. What an interesting find!

OH MY GOD DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY YEARS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS GAME?! I had this game as a child (my parents when they were married were massive point and click fans. Gabriel Knight 1 and 2, Black Dahlia, Ripper, Broken Sword etc. Basically all the big hitters and a lot of small ones. This one however stuck in my mind and for years I couldn't find it until I had help from Reddits 'tip of my joystick' community. It's a strangely forgotten game and It's a tragedy it's not on GOG yet. Hopefully this video pops off and someone can work out the rights for it because the amount of talent behind this is astounding.

Getting serious "King of Limbo" vibes from that ending musical number

Normally live actors aren't as good as voice actors, but this game has really good deliveries. I'm kinda glad it's niche because I would not like the world where people use this as a defense for celebrity VO. This game is honestly excellent, if somewhat simple

I'm surprised you missed the actual pun in the name "First and Last", he's the alpha and the omega

Tress MacNeille doing amazing work as that guitar woman.

In old games from the 90s, I especially love the low bitrate of the audio. For some reason these noises and a bit of muffledness sound cozy to me. I don’t know, perhaps it’s imprinting or memories from the childhood (though I didn’t have a PC in the 90s, I only got one in 2003 when I was 15, so I can't really call this effect 'memories from the childhood'), but it works.

i adore this game. this thing totally melted my brain when I was around 8 years old, and I had ongoing dreams about it; I still have dreams about it. i still have the CD and the box and all the trinkets. a criminally-underrated gem. sometimes I imagine a world where this game was a record-breaking best-seller (instead of Myst), just imagine the fucked-up parallel universe of games that would have spawned

yes for another great pre rendered background type game. totally forgot this game also had Christpher Reeve and Jim Belushi

Not gonna lie, it's really cool that #1, De Niro started a video game company, and #2, he was able to get the star power featured in the game to voice roles. Wish something like this would appear these days.

As someone who struggles with cryptic puzzles, this seems like a nightmare. That being said, I love the bizarre art style!
