LGR - Chuck Rock 2 - Genesis Game Review Quickie

Virgin really is one of those "does everything" companies, huh?

LGR

Totally do, I find it to be much more fun than the first one.

LGR

Nope!

LGR

Does this have any relation to Bonk's Adventure?

Zabe

Thanks. Now that's all I'll ever see in his videos. Can't unsee it.

Zabe

I wasn't a fan of the first game. I remember seeing Chuck Rock 2 in magazines, but I never played it. Maybe I should seek out a copy and try it out.

Snazzy intro! Interesting game too, deformed babies make everything 100x more interesting. I also didn't know that Virgin used to publish video games too! That company does everything! Keep up the great work!

Ryan Miller

And thus we learn the origins of Balls. Great review as always!

Rob Caporetto

Had a Genesis growing up and quite a few games but I never had this or played it. I'll keep an eye out for it.

A genesis game review ? Now THAT brings back memories of very old reviews. Nice ! :) Also nice to see that you got the Amiga version. :D I only played the first one on Amiga, and on Master System (of course, the Master System version feels like a silent movie compared to the amiga version), but it was so hard I never completed it. But I boot up Chuck Rock from time to time for the intro music alone, and it's little animations that impressed me when I was a kid and saw it for the first time. Good ol' Chuck Rock ! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rm0eTagViU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rm0eTagViU</a>

Oh yeah, I love having that big box version. Well worth importing!

LGR

Thanks man!

LGR

Hehe, I actually talked about Vectorman in the recording but cut it out. Definitely reminiscent.

LGR

I'm tempted to put googly eyes on him next time.

LGR

I'm liking the Quickie format, man.

Shatner is watching you................

The animation reminds me heavily of Vectorman for the Genesis. It also had that Ball Aesthetic, but of course was way in the future, or something. I don't really remember it well, but the name came to mind.

Zem Hysong

Huh, I didn't know there as an Amiga version, the box looks great!

ReeseRiverson

Thanks! Balls have been with me from the start, it seems.

LGR

This was more concise and flowed better than the last video. Good work! I'm sure these Quickies will keep getting better from here. And "ball aesthetic," huh? I think I see where your fondness for constantly saying "balls" comes from! ...Probably not true, but I found that thought funny :P hehe
