Bite-sized version is here.
The city is in chaos. A new drug lord has taken over, flooding the streets with Colombian cocaine. It’s not safe to set foot outside your door because of the roving gangs of lawless, heavily-armed, desperate criminals. Heck, it’s not even safe inside your door because of a sudden, cataclysmic plague of deadly, coked-up snakes infesting the city tenements!
Only Harry Callahan can put an end to this crime wave. He’s officially off the case, but trust me, he’s had it with these motherf*cking snakes in this motherf*cking game.
Edit: Sorry that the mouse pointer is visible in many of the shots. I was a little surprised by it myself.
I do use an emulator to capture footage, and the save states are invaluable in getting specific moments, but actually you would have seen the mouse pointer even if I’d gone the other route and recorded straight off the console. Weird, I know, but the video capture software I use for both has advanced to the point where it will record the pointer and pull-down menus. It can be a little annoying for console games, but it might have made Phantasmagoria a little more interesting.
Anyway, I regret the mistake, but not enough to play the game again to get more footage. ;)

pimp=Micheal Jackson!!!! XD
There were actually a lot of NES games like this back in the day. I guess the design philosophy was that no one should ever be able to beat your game without playing it obsessively for weeks at a time. Beating a video game was reserved for the super elite. It did make actually beating a game all the more meaningful but at the same time it completely alienated casual gamers.
Also Spoony completely missed an opportunity with a reference for shooting the snakes…
Little Bill: *Takes Munny’s gun* “What’s this for, snakes and such?”
William Munny(Clint Eastwood): “Yeah…”
lol during the gameplay i saw a mouse pointer and it wasn’t mine.lol but nice review
I love the part with Solid Snake. And the “GOD FUCK!” right before it.
I love this review, but couldn’t help but notice, were you listening to journey whilst recording the segments infront of the camera?
waiiiit a second!!
are…are those seifer, ranowa and squall dolls in the background?!?!? no.. NO that’s not true! that’s impossible!
Yep, I have got this game,and it does suck.
You think the cars are an obscure reference? How ’bout “Play Misty for Me”?
Chester A. Bum sure has had a lot of relatives popping up over the last few months.
Oh, god damn it. That’s why I hate the sopranos. Who wants to listen to someone only for them to cut out in mid sent-
Took me a second or two to get the ending joke but then hilarity ensued.

he probay ended it after he said level 2 because its the same damn thing all over again.
it called war against drugs because thats what its call on the PAL version, also the ff8 doll in the backround is fan donated
One of your best reviews ever xD you should capture gameplay, show it and shout at it more often on other reviews xD like samurai zombie nation, bayou billy and the robin hood game
yeah, great review! really like your rants where you actually show footage of the game itself and not just talk about it :) dirty dancing was the best so far, lmao!
