    I missed the Ghostbusters-reference there – well, maybe that would have been TOO obvious ^^

    But I seriously had to laught for about 3 minutes when you said: “Did you just SKRONK on me?” because I was thinking the exact same thing ^^
    @16: Don’t get it – can you enlighten me with a clip or an explanation? Please, I hate it to miss a spoony-reference (if only the MST3K-DVDs wouldn’t be that expensive to import to germany… ;( )

  • THE GATEKEEPER

    Since you mentioned the old VHS FMV games, I just remembered that when I was very young, I had something called an “Interactivision” that used VHS tapes. I only remember one game. It featured the muppets, and I thought it was the most bitchingestly awesome thing ever.

    If I ever get a hold of one plus a couple of its games again I wonder if you’d review some of the games if I sent them to you, hehe.

    Only problem with the console was that the joystick was ON THE CONSOLE ITSELF and I kept breaking the joystick off. I think my parents replaced the console at least 5 times for me.

    Lol clown porn, nice to see that you feel better and this review reminded me of this board game my brother had. It was this sort mouse trap type of game, with a spooky theme, skeletons, spiders and the like, which had different pieces from which you could make a chain reaction, like dominoes, and other plastic parts. Not sure if it had any objective, or it was just the whole gimmick of creating the chain reaction. I should look it up and with a little luck find it.

    Great review Spoony! Although I didn’t play a lot of FMV board games, I did play the ST:TNG board game and it was awful. Glad to see you and Lee. Man, Lee has been over the place. Anyway, great review and hope to see you review more of these games. Hopefully, I can see you, Dr. Insano, Spencer and maybe a few others play the board game as you review.

  • ScreamingDoom

    That was hilarious. I loved all the MST3K and Invader Zim references.

    “Go ‘head on. It’s your move.”
    “You’re stuck here!”

    Both of these references caused me to laugh for like ten minutes straight.

    I even vaguely remember playing this thing at a friends house. The only thing that is really clear in my mind? How the Gatekeeper pronounced “Black Hole.” Blaghoe!

    O man. The frenchish accent of the Gatekeeper absolutely slays me. Kinda reminds me of one of my uncles…

    I totally forgot about this game until this review, but now I remember the commercials. Consequently, my friends and I always got too bored/distracted to ever finish it in a sitting.

    Ah, I remember renting this from a video rental shop, playing it once, and then all six of us that played it would just find any excuse we could to parrot the gatekeeper’s lines.

    This was a great review, I’d like to see more of this and less of your movie reviews (the ones that involve current boxoffice). Maybe it’s time to step back and look at your earlier stuff as to not forget why your fans joined you in the first place.

    Looking forward to the next one!

    I’ve actually played through Atmosfear (third from the bottom of your stack) once during a party, and I totally agree that the game is far better for a laugh than it is for the scare value. Although I will say that the gatekeeper’s makeup and overall appearance got a lot better from this one to the one I played. Also, it was a DVD, which allowed it to mix things up. Still not something I’d play again unless I could find some new friends to have a laugh with. Awesome review, and hope you don’t take too long cleaning the Black ‘ole.

    Also awesome choice with the Super Castlevania music.

    These reviews are getting really good. The quality was beyond expectation.

    I don’t know if this has been mentioned but have you ever heard of a game called FoxHunt by Capcom? It was weird but when I was younger I liked it. The acting wasn’t that bad… well, not always.

    Does anybody know when the first time was that Spoony explained where his name came from? Because I’ve been watching his videos forever, and this is the FIRST TIME I’ve heard the explanation.

    Anyway, excellent review. I remember this game. Though I hope Spoony DOESN’T complete the series just so we can see his “punishment”.

    THE FAAAAAAACE. Seriously, I was laughing for ten minutes, out loud, at six in the morning.

    @ 13:11
    This has to be one of the best special effects done to date. Very effective and unexpected at the same time.

    I know it hasn’t been that long in the grand scheme of things, but it’s great to be hearing “Break Me” at the start of a Spoony Experiment again!

    I actually remember playing this game, so I was pretty excited when I saw you were planning on doing this one. Loved the sequences where The Gatekeeper had you evaluating your life, and your impression of the actor at the end was spot on.

    I hope you do the sequels too, I can’t wait to see what you make of Baron Samedi… That installment was… Odd…

    Good luck cleaning the Black Hole. (Which really sounds like a dirty euphanism.)

    Oh gods, that was hilarious! I’ve still got Atmosfear (that’s always been its title here in the UK) and the first expansion somewhere in my cupboard, and I vividly remember just how sadistic this game got.

    This review was full of laugh-out-loud moments. The argument with the Gatekeeper, Lee’s staring contest, and the appearance of the “GateCleaner” at the end were all hilarious, making one of your finest, funniest reviews to date. I hope we get to see further reviews of the sequels and expansions!

    Excellent review, Spoony. As I put in a comment when you announced reviewing this game, I got hold of a copy from a charity shop for £1.25 (UK-siders, GO TO CHARITY SHOPS! You never know what bargains you’ll find! As well as Atmosfear, I got a Star Wars VHS board game too). A couple of the keys are missing, and 3 of the numbers, but everything else is still there. I, like you, read through some of the cards, and there was one that says while the Old One is rolling its age, the player holding the card has to distract the Old One by asking when they were born and what age they are, which would hold the game up even further. Major props to the GateCleaner at the end, absolutely hilarious and you sounded just like the Gatekeeper.

    Oh and by the way Spoony I hope you’re able to clean the Black Hole better than I was. I was down there for three weeks trying to clean the crusty black crap off the walls and floor, and the cleaning supplies they gave me were crap. I mean really, they gave me some Orange Glow and a crappy toothbrush that looked like it had been used Gorgo the Bog monster.

    hahaha, loved it. The back and forth between you and the Gatekeeper was awesome. Can’t wait to see more Nightmare/Atmosfear reviews. I actually really like the DVD one, since the format allows for a bit more flexibility in gameplay. I remembered when I was a kid, I would never want to be the youngest playing Nightmare because one point he intentionally singles that player out and scares them. Jerk..

    That was one hell of a great review! I loved the dialog-with-the-tape scene, there were some great jokes and obscure references… definitely one of your best works to date. I’m glad to see you’re back in the saddle again and that you have recovered from you recent illnesses.

    The guy is getting better all the time. Spoony’s production values have become TV level since he moved to that new house. Unbelievable if you remind yourself its still a one-man operation. Keep that quality going, Mr Antwiler. It will certainly pay off one day.

    Yays! I wanted you to review Nightmare back when I the saw the Dragon Strike video. It’s so cool that your reviewing each game

    P.S. When we played it any part that said roll until you get a number, the person just kept rolling over and over till they got the number. Also 2 half keys made one key. Oh and the cards that said “if your name is X and your number is X” we ignored the number. Also we never screamed in the other persons ear, just screamed… my poor parents… oh well. Game fixed!..sorta

    Ah yes, I remember those games. Used to go to a mate’s house to play them all the time. The second game was Baron Samedi who tells you to shout “YO BARON, I CAN DIG IT!” every time he asks. The third is a witch and the one after that was the vampire. Then they moved onto the Harbingers.

    Still, it was some pretty good times we had.

    Nice review Spoony, I use to own Nightmare when I was a kid, and only played it once with two other friends. It was ok but we never had any reason to play it again, in fact we never even finish the tape the first time around. I didn’t know there other later versions of the game, I guess it was kind of popular.

    Great use of the Gatekeeper, it’s like seeing an old friend from your childhood again….a crazy friend who yelled at you a lot, threw you into the blackhole all the time, and ate your Cheetos.

    To 83/Kevin Holsinger – He’s not mentioned it in any of his videos, but it has been mentioned in the FAQ (I didn’t see anyone else answer this, but apologies if someone bet me to it).

    Without a doubt one of your best reviews EVER, though I do find each review seems to improve on the last, and this one was no different. I loved the battle/dialogue between Spoony and the Gatekeeper, Lee’s cameo, the revision to the intro (especally the clip from the Alone in the Dark review) and the Gatecleaner (I agree with others who thinks he should appear from time to time)! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

    ya know, Spoony my personal favorite FMV game was always The Beast Within (Gabriel Knight sequel). Though the actors werent all that great and the guy playing Gabriel didn’t have nuthin on Tim Curry, i still thought it was pretty good. And even though it was more of an investigative thing than a scary story, it did at least have a couple of scary moments. The hunt for the werewolf in the dark forest always gave me the heebie jeebies

    I liked the review. It was short, but funny.

    I did not like Lee’s cameo. While I like Still Gaming, I do not enjoy seeing Lee interupt other reviewers. It just does not work for me. I have enjoyed your other crossovers, but this is pushing it. There are a ton of crossover reviews on TGWTG and it’s starting to wear thin. (If you do a crossover with Matthew Buck of Film Brain, I think the part of me that likes you will die.)

    You failed to answer my one burning question. How do you make an interactive game with a VHS tape? They do not have tracks like a CD, so it could not have been like T.R.A.X. How did it work? This really detracts from the review. It was funny, but the review is incomplete.

    The conversation with the Gatekeeper was hilarious. I thought it was so funny. It seemed like he was responding to you. Good job.

    I liked the Gatecleaner, but don’t use him too much. That character will get old fast. In fact, maybe he should only return in reviews of other Atmosfear games.

    Overall, this was a good review, with what I see as some flaws.

    Video aside, this game is actually really underproduced. It looked really cool in the ads, but now that I’ve actually gotten a good look at it it’s just a blank gray slate of a board. There should be skulls and gnarled trees and bats and goblins and stuff all over that board, but all I see are rocks.

    Yeah, rocks are real scary.

    So, I guess you’re supposed to beat the gatekeeper in an hour? This is sort of a really long, boring version of The Omega Virus, then. Man, and I thought it looked so cool as a kid.

    My English Professor in college was in an FMV game called Darkside of the Moon, I believe. OMG, I never embarrassed him by bringing it up though.

    Yes, please give us more FMV hell! I think those old reviews were some of your best especially the Mighty Morphine Power Rangers. No matter how many drugs they were on, you were spot on in that review. Something good always comes of your reviews. Keep up the good work, because good people are always watching. :-)

    Hi Spoony

    If your looking for a good FMV game, try Realms of the Haunting. It’s controll scheme is very old school but otherwise it’s an awsome game witch has ages considerabley well.

    Grate review, I loved how you interspliced the Gate Keeper with your own conversation and then did an awsome impression afterwoods.

    I actually liked nightmare a lot at the time I played it the first time (some 12 years ago). Now I was playing the Dutch version with a different actor, who was at least acting better, but I’ve played the main game and first expansion a few times and never got bored with it.

    Anyway, I still liked the review, I always love to hear Spoony making fun of things I like (FF8 anyone?). Keep up the good work.

    Also, that must have been a stroke of pure genius using the soundtrack from Castlevania IV in the background :)

    As great as it was to see knightmare in one of your reviews again I have to say I loved the Last Starfighter references. Every time I think I’m the only person to remember that film someone else mentions it, it must have been a lot more popular than I thought. Even though it still can’t get a Pal release over here.

    As board games go this looks overly complex and as if too much of the effort went into scripting the video. Your right that there is practically no replay value in a game like this, unless you know the video backwards and cheat. I also think that confining the players to a video time limit doesn’t help. Several games, especially the longer ones, let you stop, record everything and then come back after a couple of days. This keeps the game fresh as doesn’t chain you to any time limit.
    You can’t call sequels replay value, unless you have to carry charicters and equipment from one to the next. In which case they are expansions and practically worthless unless you get them all.
    In summation great review of a game that encapsulates EVERYTHING that is wrong with 80s and 90s board gaming.

    I guess the creators of this game didn’t like Rick Moranis in “Ghostbusters” because they certainly didn’t like the Keymaster. What is the point of having a sack of 50 key cards with only one opposite side in the bunch. I am wondering when Nightmare: Klingon Edition comes out. If that “Gatekeeper” is not a model for the Klingon played by Robert O’Reilly (better known as Gowron), then this Q continuum needs to end. Which brings up an interesting question: are they following an “Idiots Guide to Making Interactive Boardgames”? What’s next “Heros Interactive Board Game” or better yet a “My Name is Earl Interactive Board Gamet” where Jaime Pressly calls you a dummy and tells you that you have have been locked in a trailer again. Wouldn’t that be nice?

    Hot damn I love FMV Hell.

    A FMV game that was actually really, really good is Klingon Academy. It serves as somewhat of a prologue for Star Trek VI, and has many of the Klingons featured in that film, including Christopher Plummer and David Warner. Maybe I’ll try to dig it up when I’m at my parents.

    I wanted Nightmare so badly when I was younger, I seriously though it was based on the BBC show reviewed earlier. Nope, so thank god I didn’t get it.

    couple of things….

    omg writing that one down!

    was it me or did the gate keeper sound like the grim reaper from bill and teds bogus journey?

    you sank my battleship!

    also you said that they changed the name of the game coz of the tv show Knighmare, but the copy write on the card says 1991. Im very sure that the tv show “Knightmare” was long over by then and as a side note it was never shown on the BBC it was shown on the ITV network and was made by Anglia televison.

    Love your stuff looking forward to Pumkin head.

    Ok,,,this is tough to admit but as a kid (around 8 or 9 years old) my friend brought this game over to my house to play and it scared the shit out of me. Every time that fucking gatekeeper came on the screen I’d piss myself. I hated the thunder clap that was used to startle people, because it worked so well!! I literally had to stop the game mid-way through, get up and go to my room to escape the noise and even then I was able to hear that damn clap and the gatekeeper yell, ”STOP!” through the wall………. I hated this game….

    Kool review Spoons.

    I actually played Atmosphere (German version) many years ago. A friend got it for his birthday and so we went for it. It’s true: The game has no real replay value, but the one time we played it, it was actually fun. Mostly because we tried to make each other mess up our challenges. The staring contest was the most memorable one where we made faces and silly jokes to get the one who had the contest to blink. He made it though…so respect for that.
    This being said, the game itself is neither scary nor particular entertaining. It can be a good laugh because of the sabotage attempts of the other players, but it certainly isn’t a recommendable purchase.

    So all that remains to say for me is: “yes my Gate Cleaner, keep making Spoony review more of this!”

    I love my Nightmare games. I actually don’t think I ever got bored of them. You just find new people to play them with and see how much fun you’ll have haha.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa! Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster was GOD AWFUL. Tim Curry couldn’t save it, even though he was, as usual, a joy to watch.

    Then again, I suppose the same argument could be made for Ripper. Un-fuckin’-believable is right…

    This review, though… Wasn’t sure how you were going to review a board game, but holy shit. The conversation with Gatekeeper was amazing. I agree with other people here, this is one of your best, if not your absolute best. The “skit” in this is funny, as most of your skits are, but here also shows how strange this game is. Not something you can always muster, but here, it worked.

    And do I smell a sequel? Huh. You ought to do like one video for them all, or something, unless this is going to be a slow year, I doubt you want to review them all seperately…

    … why the hell do you own all those shitpiles anyway?

    Great review! I love the Atmosfear series and own all the games! Maybe you’ll review 2-4 in one video, Harbingers & Soul Rangers in another, and then the DVD games?

    Also, just thought I’d tell you you are missing four games though. You don’t have the Card Game, The Third Dimension, or Booster Tape 1 & 2.

    I always thought of Spoony’s name as an admition that he did enjoy these games, but they are objectively terrible when viewed from a distance.

    Good god. As soon as you started describing the game, I thought to myself, “I remember playing a game like that with my cousin, way back when.” Then you did you back-and-forth with the gatekeeper and I realized that it was THIS game. Good god, the memories. The horrible, horrible memories.

    What is that “Disco Dance! Disco Dance!” clip from? Seems familiar.
    Also, the dude playing the Gatekeeper almost seemed like he was trying to imitate some of Marlon Brando or Richard Burton’s hammier performances. I actually almost thought that was Brando for a second seeing as how he was doing a lot of weird straight to video crap and other bizarre stuff before he died.

    This is an awesome vid, one of the best The Sppony One has ever done imho. The conversation with the Gate Keeper was nicely done – but the punishment by the Gate Cleaner had me rolling on the floor laughing. Looking forward to the Pumpkinhead and the other Atmosfear Reviews !

  • Random Nobody

    I liked the review when it was on the topic of the board game, but much of it seemed just random and simply masturbatory in it’s production value. When I was done watching, I wondered whether I had actually gotten anything out of it other than watching a spliced conversation with a VHS tape. In the end, while I chuckled at parts and always enjoy watching Spoony, the crossover seemed pointless and too advertisey, and all in all felt eerily like a filler review. Which is unfortunate, given your usually high quality stuff.

    The Gate Cleaner is quite possibly one of my favourite Spoony characters, I could almost see him joining Dr. Insano in a “Tales from the Cryptkeeper” type deal. It’s interesting seeing the difference Nightmare had with Atmosfear (in contrast, there was something about Atmosfear that was a little scary to me. Then again, I was a little’un at the time).

    BTW, that ad at the beginning is weird. Is it just me, or is the woman wearing a leopardskin bra outside her coat?

    Just had a look around my local charity shops, and I found a copy of Atmosfear II, the Baron Samedi expansion! I had a look at the rules for the game, and instead of having the Gatekeeper telling you to ‘ANSWER ME!!!”, you have the Baron, a zombie. Whenever he comes on the screen and says “THRILL ME!!!”, you have to answer “YO BARON, I CAN DIG IT!” :D

I can’t even listen to the freakin’ radio for more than an hour, without hearing that “Supermassive Black Hole” Muse song…have you ever tried /singing/ the words ‘Black Hole’, in that accent, with a straight face? People in traffic must think I’m daft…

    Dude, i loved this game as a kid. I Played it all the time. I thought I was the only person in the world with this shit until i saw your review.

    I even remember the lines, ya its sad. As i watch the more it comes back to me… nnooOOO!!!!
    (after playing it for like the 15th time wed just sit and throw chicken nuggets at the screen.)
    The best part was getting chicks to play with you on Halloween, with all the lights out, oh yes…

    im such a geek…

    I got Atmosphere later, and didn't like it quite as much. I remember there were supposed to be more. I think with each of the monsters… Baron Samedi, Elizabeth Bathory, etc… whatever, but i only saw Atmosphere at Toys R Us. I never knew the other games were even made.

    Oh and Dragon Strike, “Of Course!”

    also Key to the Kingdom, Hero Quest… etc.
    (just all awesome games that no1 else had when i was little)

    It gets a bit frantic in the last couple of minutes though…

    The people you're playing with usually all agree to cheat.

  • Testsubject909

    Or secretly cheat and win. Since we're so high strung and bussy, we typically don't even keep full track of everyone.

    Actually makes for some very entertaining gameplay as you can break the rules and everyone else can as well. With or without an agreement to whether we can or cannot cheat (it IS cheating after all).

    Seeing as how the black hole is the world of pumpkin head, i guess it would suffice to say you finished cleaning it. However that doesn’t mean you won’t get punished if you don’t review the other board games. It’s currently august 13′th, i don’t think you have much time on that one. Fortunately for me my birthday is October 14′th so i guess my present will be to see you get punished for not respecting, THE GATE CLEANER!!!! XD

    I loved your interactions with the Gatekeeper; it’s a great way to illustrate how hilarious he is to look at and listen too. And you face when he skronked xD ahahahahahahaha!

    God, for a simple game, this one looks like it takes forever. I mean the time cards and the dice rolls sheesh. I would be like everyone else and cheat for the sake of progressing faster in the game.

    Wow what a lame board game. You just can’t use a video type to judge actions in a board game, as it would do the same thing every time. It makes no logical sense. I also don’t get why there are so many cards that do nothing.

My question is if anyone knows which game and character he is referring to ? ?

    Best part of this review for me: the Soundtrack from Disney’s “The Black Hole” as soon as you mention the “blagole”. That not only cracked me up, but also induced flashbacks of my childhood since I had “Black Hole” as audio cassette and would listen to it for years and years. When I finally saw the movie I was a bit underwhelmed, but the Music has carved itself into my brain forever ^^

Violent J from ICP actually samples the gate keeper from this game for a song that was on a very limited cd given away for free at the gathering of the juggalos in 2008. Here it is for your lolziez, nerdy ass pleasure.

    you know with spoony’s computer engineer degreee he can still have a job as making DOS computers for ultima nerds or computer repair for windows

      All you have to do to run Ultima is download Dosbox and copy the files of whatever game you want to play to your local C: drive.  I am afraid that the DOS ship has sailed, but computer repair is still viable.

    Great review!
    I thought it was cool how the Gatekeeper goes nuts and starts to rot away as the game goes on? Does that same guy play in any of the other games like this?

    The fight between Spoony and the Gate Keeper made me laugh my ass off XD

    I played this game once years ago with three other people. I remember how much we screwed around when the Gate Keeper showed up :P

    Wait a minute. The way the Gatekeeper growls. It all makes sense.

    Warrior (formerly known as Jim Hellwig) must’ve played this game, and thought it made complete sense to ramble on stupidly and growl, and there you go: Ultimate Warrior.

    Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell, Billie Dee Williams, Tim Curry, George Takei, Christopher Walken…What FMV games did they all star in?

    • http://twitter.com/StochasticOoze Jason

      Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell were in the Wing Commander series.

      Tim Curry was in some Frankenstein game. He was also in Gabriel Knight 3, but I don’t think that was really an FMV game. (GK2 was, but he wasn’t in it, despite being the voice of the main character in the first game.)

      Christopher Walken was in Ripper and Privateer 2, both of which Spoony has done videos of.

      Not sure about Williams or Takei, though.

        Star Trek: Starfleet Academy featured George Takei, Walter Koenig and WILLIAM SHATNER!  That wasn’t the game that Spoony showed a clip from, though.

    Gatekeeper vs. Dragon Master from Dragon Strike would be an epic battle of snark.

  • Anonymous

    Sigh. Why make a board game based on a gimmick like this? Surely someone must have realized the game has no replay value.

    The funny thing is, if you transplanted this concept into today, it would work a lot better. A console board game would be weird, but at least the gatekeeper could be halfway randomized and there could be some atmosphere. Hell, maybe you could figure out some weird way to get a DVD or Blu-Ray to have an interactive, randomly generated game master.

    But a VHS tape? I mean, really? One that relies on jump scares and general assholery, and plays out the same EVERY TIME, with no skipping? And you give every card a time on the tape so the game ALWAYS PLAYS OUT THE SAME WAY, with very little randomization?

    Aaaagh. I’m going over to Spoony’s Battlestar Galactica vlog. That game was fun just to watch!

  • http://twitter.com/mysterycycle Devin Parker

    Apparently I must have constructed some mental blocks to protect myself or something, but as you were reviewing this I remembered that I had, indeed, played this once when I was younger. Only once, of course, but it was with a bunch of other teenagers, and I remember laughing quite a bit. I also remember all of us making fun of the way the Gate Keeper pronounced the ‘Blagole’, too. I wonder if it was the game itself that made me block it from my memory, or if something else traumatic happened to me that night that I’ve blotted out…

  • dynamite.thirteen.productions

    No joke, I watched this review, and then two days later my best friend texted me and told me to come over for game night. Guess what her and her boyfriend had just bought?

    I think what Spoony neglects to acknowledge is that the game is SUPPOSED to last 45 minutes at least, which is why so much of the game is chance, to stretch it out to the last minute. When we played, we literally went to 58:57 before someone won.

    Atmosphere/Atmosfear is the perfect name for what it is, because the real fun of the game is to get sucked into the atmosphere, to interact with the Gatekeeper and personalize the experience. Also it’s a great drinking game. Take a drink everytime he calls you a maggot, if you get startled when he appears, says black hole (not if you’re doing shots, you’ll die of alcohol poisoning), etc. Also it is best with 4-6 people.

    Sadly it doesn’t have much replay value, which is a real shame because I really enjoyed it. Mostly because I was kinda drunk.

  • big_isaac

    ultimate stare-down my ass. I played along and beat the Gatekeeper, too

  • Travis Rae

     Nightmare certainly is the weakest of the series, though the expansion
    tapes do help a bit. In terms or replayability the DVD Atmosfear is probably the best, though the time limit is cut down from an hour to 45 minutes, still plenty of time. The original Atmosfear was probably the best in terms of appearance and mood, and did make an attempt at replayability with allowing for the board to change with each playing. I the three versions and one Nightmare expansion, and I do say the Atmosfear games are definitely the most worthy of a playthrough

    The Gatekeeper sounds a LOT like this one guy who dis a lot of voices for Ranken Bass movies; he was Gollum in The Hobbit & some buttmoneky in The Last Unicorn.

    • parkyson

      Yeah, but that was Peter Woodthorpe who died in a tragic accident.

      Oh he also voiced Gollum in the brilliant BBC radio rendition of The Lord of the Rings.

    I’ll be honest, I did get a kick out of FMV games back in the day and have played them all. One that wasn’t a good game, was pretty monotonous with the interactivity of a light switch but it was actually quite scary as the acting was pretty decent for the most part. Dracula Unleashed….

    spoony you should really review the other games of the series you have enough material to make conversations with the gatekeeper i think with all the videotapes combined

    The good thing about the DVD Atmosphear is the fact the gatekeeper clips are random, and they are a great bunch. The bad thing is he looks like the red bad guy from Star wars episode 1.

    The DVD edition has a lot of replayability this way. And some features as the key cards are no more. So it’s a lot more enjoyable.

        Spoony did have a video up where he finished Pumpkinhead and got out of the blagole, but it was done in conjunction with LordKat, and they don’t speak anymore. I think Spoony took the video down at LK’s request, actually.

          Pretty sure it still around. i think saw it under Nostalgia critic’s blip account.
