- Evil Genius is a fantastic management simulator where you play an evil genius whose job is to become a villain of legend by amassing infinite money and infinite minions to send off on dangerous missions to make yourself more notorious! Today The Spiffing brit is visiting this 16 year old classic game to see if Evil Genius is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits as I am sure you all remember it! Or if the invincibility glitch and infinite money exploit thanks to the Minion Only Challenge is broken! I guess its up to all of you to find out!!! One thing is for certain is that the spiffing brit is bound to exploit the game to remove all the challenge normal players might face in this fantastically funny Austin power and James bond themed experience!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this Evil Genius Minion only challenge!

"Minions, those little yellow people, turns out they're really good at making infinite money."
Universal figured that one out too.
*Cheers I’ll drink to that bro*
Or if I want to be racist a little bit, they could be chinese people as well... (this is only a joke, pls dont take it seriously) :)

I mean it only makes sense they blend in with the gold because they are yellow how else would they steal it?
This isn’t an exploit this is the way the real evil genius would play
Wait.. so does that mean..
Does this mean...? ITS THE PERFECTLY EXPLOIT FOR THE MOST BALANCED GAME!
They making a second can't wait for that one
@@allmusicplays Hardly
It is intenonal game design recomended by the devs
agent 1: this guy has been robbing the entire planet
agent 2: yeah sure, but did he kidnap a maid?
agent 1: no
agent 2: must not be much of a threat
That's capitalism

It seems oddly appropriate to beat a game called “Evil Genius” by exploiting game mechanics.
I usually turn that outside hut into a disguised cell for the super agents, so when they escape they don't tear up your base. Another trick was making a labyrinth of doors and hallways to keep the agents blowing all their time trying to open locked doors, while just going around in circles.
Lmao, imagine the North Korean nukes just locked inside a labyrinth of doors and corridors.
That trick gets better than that, actually - to the point of being a Proper exploit. You can get money for agents triggering traps, meaning you:
1. Construct a wind blender where one windblowing trap blows an agent into another, and another, and another in a circle/square, but the wind makes them fall through other traps which are there to be triggered just to generate money
2. Lure agents in there
3. Get some MAD cash with no heat generation whatsoever
@@abdulmasaiev9024 I've done that one, but harder to set up, and definitely feels "cheeterish"... JS.
I just love the whole "Wait, why am I stealing from Europe? I live in Europe. We're pulling all the troops out and moving them to America!" XD
I checking my steam library: Evil Genius - nice game, does anyone remember it?
Spiff: It is a perfectly balanced.
Me: Yeeeees!
With the Evil Genius 2 in Development as we speak :D
I love this game many hours have been sunk away actually doing this. Except I didmt know I could cheese the tutorial
the sequel is out now!
"We are currently making truly ridiculous amounts of money while sabotaging the world with no repercussions."
It was at this moment that Spiff realized ... he had become a banker.
and his nose got bigger and hookey, and his eyes popped out, and hnceforth was called spiffing britowitz
Nah, a banker does the money stuff for others. The one that has minions laboring to make them richer from destroying the world are called Capitalist.
@@camlea5686 or communists, or feudalists, or anyone that was at the top of a hierarchy almost ever 🤔
@@nohandle13 Communist are about the eradication of that hierarchy, not always successful but that's the point. Feudalist follow a different pattern, even if It's has similarities.
@@camlea5686 No, communists are never succesfull, that is my whole point. The saying in the eastern block was "We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us." So the very top few had a ton of wealth, and could do anything they wanted unchecked. So it's nice in theory. But in practice it doesn't work. Because people aren't the angelic saviours they would like to be. As for the feudalists, well... I think the disproportion of wealth,power etc. is quite obvious there. All you need to do is read the history books, or listen to some podscasts.
Reminds me of that level in Age of Mythology where you had to build a base before an enemy army arrived but the count down didn't start until you built a town center.
I am surprised you didn't mention the other huge exploit in this period. During this period you can also spread out your minions to each region and pre-plot every mission. They discover missions which unlock at certain notoriety.
so can you just send your minions into other regions then they finish the mission for you without you doing much?
He didn't mention it but he did do it.
That's the only thing he does for the last six minutes
Step 1: Meme being sponsored/not-sponsored by a brand.
Step 2: Community jokes about actually being sponsored by the brand.
Step 3: Aquire sponsorship, everyone rejoices
Step 4: Profit, Content, and no one complains.

Naturally, I immediately wishlisted and followed
Please tell me it'll have a Linux version!
lol i did too!

@@emptyforrest You have impeccable taste.
Litterally anyone who played the origional one did, Evil Genius 2 Hype!!!!!
Would have loved the last 5min to be the maid getting caught and just watching agents coming
There should be an expansion for this game where your base is just an office with a secretary sitting by the phone, and a postbox, and you're just a phony offshore company
Evil Genius 2 is out!
Spiff: "Midwest, West Coast... steal from America..."
Me: "Wisely avoiding the Southeast, I see... smart decision."
"Florida Man thwarts evil organization"
Let's be honest. Not much to steal sadly anyway. :< poor guys.

Me: "that's just playing as Dr. Evil"
I have one request......and that is to have sharks with friggin laser beams attached to their heads!

@@JorgetePanete thanks for the correction, that's probably the conjunction I miss the most 🙃
with bruce lee, the soviet union, and Rambo, too! You can also play as Ming the Merciless or Cruella DeVille!
It has all of the tropes! All of them!
dr evil does not drink tea.
Spiff's first question when playing a new game "How can i stay in tutorial mode?"
Our favourite evil genius was raised by playing as an evil genius, it comes full circle.
Played so much evil genius as a kid growing up, I remember having all my minions stealing cash and leaving the computer running for hours to have an entire base of gold, probably the first exploit I ever did. Even better is there is a second evil genius coming out soon!
wait, what? a sequel is coming out!?
@@comyuse9103 YES!! Sign up for the beta early access ^^
@@comyuse9103 Its launch might be this year! But dont hold your breath to hard, it's also listed on steam but no pre orders :p you can at least wish list it tough.
WOOT? thanks for that info.
Yeah, this exploit was easy to figure out when the game just came out, so up-to-date spiff.
But is the sequel confirmed, because its been in the works for YEAAAARS.
Before I even watch this, I must inform you, good sir, that this is my childhood and I've been waiting *years* for someone to do a video on this in almost any capacity.
I hope you break it, wonderfully.
I just thought everyone knew about this exploit personally like this is how you 'play the game'
Leonardo Da Vinci: Well, well, well, If it isn't Phantom Savage.
This game is hard as nails if you don’t use some kind of exploit
before I even watch this, I feel like I should mention there's a Evil Genius 2 in the works, slated to release sometime this year
@@Bandit2033 just looked that up. Confirmed! But will it have this exploit?
"Minions, those little yellow people, turns out they're really good at making infinite money."

*Illumination
Oh christ that's funnier than it should be.
Whoof!
I feel like people aren't getting this joke and those of us that do get it and think it's funny are terrible people
@@DefaOmega That's how most jokes go, tbh. Some get them and laugh. Some don't and get offended.
I am flattered by being called a
"Fat Sand Rat". This is accurate as my neighborhood is mostly sand, I am slightly chubby, and I consider myself to be a rat.
You also like cheese, and you know what else likes cheese? Rats.
It's a better name than the "Bastard Moray" and the "Bony-Eared Assfish"
Spiff: "Shall I give it a fancy Latin name? No, FAT SAND RAT!"
Me: Wait a minute, you every animal must have a fancy Latin name.
Wikipedia: The fat sand rat (Psammomys *obesus* ) is...
Oh...
Animals yes, proteins no. There exists a vital substance in your body known as the Sonic Hedgehog protein. This is its actual proper name.
@@zierlyn not just the protein but the gene itself (i mean, to be fair, that's always the case, but not everyone knows that, so for the laypeople)
yes, you can have a mutant sonic hedgehog gene
and it's actually a really important one too, it comes up fairly often, so you have hundreds of papers citing this or that aspect of the sonic hedgehog protein, gene, and it's alleles
what a time to be alive
@@zierlyn There is also a protein called Pikachurin, or more scientifically EGF-like, fibronectin type-III and laminin G-like domain-containing protein
H x I like the Eurasian Brown Bear's taxonomic designation better.
@@slimek20 aa
Speedrunners: Finishes the game in half an hour
Spiff: Finishes the game before he finishes the tutorial
Also Spiff: Finishes game in a bit under 24 minutes without doing the tutorial
Thats only first island, second one will not have this tutorial mode.
@@svetochmira9994 Yeah, but whatever cash you've got spare at the end of the first island can be taken to the second one. Build up a few million and dismantle your old base and you can cue up an entire base for construction on the new island as soon as you arrive.
Ethan Gale for when the original joke wasn’t good enough?
Roxor128 idk. I haven’t played this game. It looks like so much fun.
I did this, let the computer run overnight together with the "300 max minion capacigty" mod and ended up truly breaking the game. After having arrived at over a hundred million dollars in gold reserves, a worthy amount of miney for an evil genius, i wanted to go to the next Island and the game has some weird error not being able to process that amount of gold and it ends up crashing. Had to redo it to find out the maximum possible is probably about 20 million if you wanna reach the second island
So when is spiff exploiting evil genius 2
For anyone interested, there's an Evil Genius 2 coming out later this year. I can't wait.
Really? I might actually be excited about a new game for the first time in years!
Vidar D
It looks SO GOOD, and the best thing is that we will get FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORS :D
I already wishlisted it
I love the fact that the maid, on her holiday, is still wearing her maid outfit.

I played this years ago. My favorite part of the game was watching the hordes of agents being burned, shocked or otherwise poked and poisoned by the numerous traps set up in the front door.
Evil Genius 2: World Domination has just been released. I'm waiting for your video, so I can learn to cheese it
yes! i can't believe Spiff hasn't made a video yet! lol
I hope you break Evil Genius 2 when it comes out this year
Can't wait!
There's gonna be a second one finally! You just made me so happy.
@@thespiffingbrit Yes! Do it you lovely wonderful man!
Can't wait!
There will be a second one? :O
“Um, sir. It appears you’ve been stealing, and, well, you’ll need to be detained.”
“Oh but I’m in the tutorial!”
“Oh then you’re fine to continue, have a nice day”
Oi sir, you got a loicense for that, mate?
Yes.
Well then, carry on.
“Um, sir. It appears you’ve been stealing, and, well, you’ll need to be detained.”
“black lives matter”
“Oh then you’re fine to continue, have a nice day”
Very much like COD. "BIRDS ARE IN THE AIR!!" "Hold up. Our operative hasn't gotten 7 consecutive kills yet." " . . . . .Now?" "Nah, his corpse is being T-bagged and there's 10 seconds left. RTB fellas."
I think you meant:"Understandable, have a great day!"
The old game called the Lord's of chaos has a few exploits where you carry impossible weights by filling up an empty vial with a potion when you have maxed out your weight limit. You can also throw locked treasure chests and filled couldrons across the entire map. That means your front line troops have explosive vials and healing as well as invisibllaty couldrons they can drink straight from. Good turn based game where you are fighting other people. Summoning a heap of creatures to fight for you is fun.
I laughed so hard when I realized this plan actually involves an awkward IT guy
When I saw the game featured was Evil Genius I had a strong feeling that it was going to be the tutorial exploit. I did it a lot when I was a kid.
Same here. It's my go-to tactic...
I’m starting to believe that Spiff is just Nyarlathotep and each stock image is one of his thousand forms
Common mispelling, but it's actually spelled Nyarlathotea
@@expertoflizardcorrugation3967 I see what you did there...
Really? I thought it was a tep!
Points for Cthulhu mythos knowledge
Been meaning to seriously play this game. I played part, or all, of the tutorial before stopping the other month, and it looked like fun.
"On the inside, aren't we all just fat sand rats?" I felt that
Fun fact: The fat sand rat’s Latin name is Psammomys obesus.
honestly that sounds even more offensive somehow
That explains its name...
It's somehow worse.
I had a freezer full of them, my African snakes eat them lol. Cute little buggers
It is scientific name, not latin, to be correct.
@@RvM76 informally, binomial names can be referred to as "Latin name" so op is correct.
I would've liked to have seen Spiff capture the maid at the end, just to watch the island get swarmed with law enforcement.
Super Agents Everywhere! XP
Dammit I'm 20 minutes in and I've been expecting that to happen this whole time.
The plot twist is the maid is the actual evil genius.
This video is the reason you didn't get a key for the second game
This video is the reason they made the 2nd one.
This video is the reason they made a 2nd one, and spiff didn't get a key for it.

The sequel is coming out this year, hope it's sooner than later, looks amazing
I had no idea that a sequel was on the way. You just made my day good sir.
Also thank you for that info, did not no a sequel was coming. I enjoyed the original so much after trying to find another dungeon keeper like game. Also a lot of nostalgia to me having grown up on James Bond on laserdisc. I hope I can still make a wind blower spiral with a corpse freezer in the center. Loved the idea of killing agents by repeatedly slamming them into walls constantly.
I definitely discovered this loophole when I played this, years ago. It's so satisfying.
One the most extraordinary games I have ever played. Thank you for featuring it! ❤
"Go to Europe and start stealing"
They probably understood that and need no further instructions, like when a waiter takes a lengthy order without writing any of it down
Hey i just wanted to point out that there is a something called "Evil Genius 2: World Domination" releasing on steam this year and you might be interested in it :)
March 30th yeeeah
5 days away
This game came out a few weeks after I was born… kinda wild to think about. This game is almost old enough to be an adult (legally in the US at least)
This was one of my absolute favourite games as a kid!
Britain: Leaves EU
Spiff: *"We're going to send out our workers to Europe to start stealing"*
Hilarious😂
most underrated comment i've ever seen
So moral of the story: You can be as evil as you want as long as you want, as long as you don't touch your maid.
Edit: You people get me, thank you for 300+ likes, let's shoot for 420 and make this comment perfectly balanced as all things should be.
If only Arnold Schwarzenegger knew this rule.
What if she wants too? *Sweating profusely*
It's the Schwarzenegger effect
So... innocent until proven guilty?
So real life then?
Imagine spiffing Brit making a play through of this game I would watch every episode used to love this game
Love watching Brit my favorite parts are when I can hear him clicking 😂
I honestly thought this was the way the game was meant to be played as a kid.
Take a sip of tea every time Spiff says: "Minion"
Thank you now I'm drunk on tea
I've just visited another dimension due to a tea overdose
I played this game back when it came out with a friend, seeing who could make the most messed up and broken trap setups was a blast.
I find it hilarious every time spiff tells you to sit back relax and have a warm cup of tea I always have a cup of coffee in my hands
Fake fan 🙄😒
Get out of here with your bean juice
Heretic
You are a disappointment.
Kill the heritic!
The fact that they announced the sequel has made me happier than you can imagine, Spiff.
"we can exploit that kindness"

Spiff needs to play Evil Genius 2 before they fix the bugs
yes, yes he must.
What there's a sequel to this? When did that happen??
@@burnsy96 Just this year. Got released in March 30
This takes me back. Both to childhood, and this was one game I was eager to showcase in the early days of my channel. This one can be frustrating, but, it's glorious, overall.
4:25
"You see Mr. Powers... I love GOOOOOLD"
I mean Brit is an evil genius in any game
Do you hear that smooth voice ?
That's the voice of a mad man
I mean the best bad guys are always British
true - only madman can get enjoyment from destroying dreams and work of so many game devs ;P
(edit: oh crap, we are madmans everyone!)
Steve: Barry, your voice...?
Barry: Soothing isn't it, like a mad man's lullaby.
From American Dad if you are wondering.
I've never seen/played it, and just watched because i love your humor and videos' editions
Thanks for the laughs, keep up the fabulous work
With the soon to be released Evil Genius 2 coming out I assumed that this was a new video, I was pleasantly surprised.
I remember playing this for the first time when it was a PC Gamer demo disc...
...
...that whole statement made me feel exceptionally old.
We are kinda old. Because I remember the same thing.
Same way I first played it
Yesss, I faking love this game
Two of my personal favourite exploits from it that I still remember and was so proud to figure out as a kid were that if you set up the strongroom so that the gold was backed into a corner by the briefcase racks no one could steal it and when one of your minions defected you could double click on them to make them stop salute which would give the others time to beat them unconscious
The 2nd one was pretty key late game, having to train through 4 levels to get your elite martial artist is a ball ache. So is him killing all your minions that try to stop him leaving. But he can't punch while he's saluting
I was a child when I played it so I was not exactly good at it but it was a great experience nonetheless.
I am still a child when I'm playing this lmao, although I love EG2 more
Spif should do a video where he just drinks tea for 30 minuts
❤ coffee
13:29 I think i just found my spirit animal.
This reminded me of a game that was just like it on newgrounds back in the day. I think it was called Mastermind? "You've failed me for the last time." Good memories, thanks Spiff.
Oh my god, I completely forgot about that game. "I'm here to steal some science!"
Mastermind: World Conqueror by the Swain, I think? I keep popping back to that every so often. Great fun.
I miss that game haha
@@AdriRaven yup that's it! He also had a few little animated shorts, rediscovered those because of your post, thanks a bunch!
that's 4 year younger than EG
Spiff you absolute fantastic man, I had forgotten the good times, this game was my life once, but I forgot it existed, thank you for bringing this back to me
Found your channel about 2 weeks ago and honestly can’t believe I didn’t find you sooner def the most creative creator
I played this and absolutely loved her.
I'm dying for Evil Genius 2 to release, which I believe will be later this year! It looks fantastic.
"..because deep down aren't we all Fat Sand Rats?"
Instantly liked, subbed, and ordered tea.
Thank you my good sir for playing the BEST game I've ever played also. You aren't the only one who is getting mad nostalgia, the worst part is I have more nostalgia for the first island as I spent the most time there just designing a base, not realising there was an even bigger island afterwards! Haha
This game is a time traveling nostalgia trip into the past! I still have this on my steam and I play it every now and then! One of the best games!
Hmmm, I think the barracks makes perfect sense when you send out all your minions, it's not like they LIVE in the barracks, that's just where they keep their stuff while they're away on missions stealing??
I happen to think this myself
Tea drinkers think alike
OF COURSE! Think about it.
You come into work, you put your stuff in a locker, and then you get shipped off to Europe to do crime.
Yes. Why would you sleep in dungeon, when there is almost empty hotel next to you.
My "happy memories" of this game are that I bought it at a charity shop when I was young, and when I got home (about to show just how young and dumb I was), there was only half a disc in there... You read that right... Half... A... Disc... I hadn't checked the case because I didn't know things existed prior to me looking at them, and thought something along the lines of "awesome, a game with words on it, I want that because it's a game."
EDIT: *end of video*
*Looks at half of the disc still sat on my game shelf*
*sigh* One day... One day...
That's happened to me. I had to buy 3 of the Sims 4 copies that were already used just to get a whole disc
Like... someone broke the disc into 2 pieces, and put one back into the case?
That doesn't make any fucking sense...
I've been playing since it came out. Absolutely wonderful experience, silly and engaging. Thanks for reminding me how much I live this game, Spiff.
I've never heard of this game, but it looks fun as hell.

I love this game and this channel. Could you do evil genius 2?
this is one of my all time favorite games. so nostalgic
My god Evil Genius this brings back so many memories, its bloody amazing to see this game be played "fairly."
Used to love playing this when i was younger. Would always run home after school then go to my brothers room hop on and boot up either evil genius or jedi academy. The good old days where it was all simple. Lots of nostalgic vibes from this. I bless you spiff for this fine quality video
Absolutely loved this game when it came out. I went to 3 different EB Games stores to finally get a copy. Saw this and got instant Nostalgia. Also hyped to hear they're making Evil Genius 2. Which of course. You will have to take a look at.
So surprised to see you upload a video of this game haha. I watched your Civ videos mainly but yeah, this game is a true gem. I played the hell out of it around a decade ago
11:27 "I'm stealing money from Europe, why am I doing that, I live in Europe!"
oh poor Spiff...
Well, yes and no...
Europe yes.
The EU no.
We're still in Europe.
I guess changes I diplomatic/bureaucratic agreements move continent borders now. Interesting.
Jemsterr Continent borders are the result of diplomatic/bureaucratic agreements. Why else is there a line between Asia and Europe, or Europe and Africa?
This reminded me of playing Syndicate Wars on PS1 and using the "persuadertron" to make civilians into minions.
You could amass a small army and just steamroll anything in your way.
I remember having so many minions with lasers (and other visible beam weapons) that whenever I fired it overloaded the system and caused bits of the scene to briefly vanish, as well as making whatever I fired at permanently vanish.
It was over the top glorious fun :)
Still have it installed. Absolutely love it, but you definitely have made me want to load up a new game and try this out.
