- Not every game needs to be a five-star classic, sometimes a decently okay playthrough can be a good time.
New SNES-related video every Tuesday, and something else (Genesis, Game Boy, whatever) on Thursdays

It's 1994. I regularly walk to the neighborhood grocery store to rent movies and games. They announce a contest where the winner gets a ton of coupons for getting the high score on a New Game -- which ends up being this game. Proud to say I walked away with one of those arm-length tubes of flavored popcorn and enough free rentals to last me a month.
@Sandman Slim Right?? Shit, where's this guy from! lol
@Sandman Slim Sounds like a mom and pop corner store.
@Sandman Slim It was a full-size grocery store, local owned in northeast Oklahoma. Bill's Discount Foods is long gone now but they had an impressive little video store section in the corner of the store. The guy that I most often dealt with at the counter would also give me photocopies of new Game Genie codes when they came out.
@@Rhys That's awesome! I miss little places like that and that kind of personal service.
@@Rhys photocopies? WHAT’S THAT???

Thanks for mentioning Tim Follin on the Genesis version! I don't even ever played that game, but the Genesis soundtrack is mind blowing!
I urge everyone who is into retro game music or prog rock to LISTEN to Tim Follin's soundtrack for Time Trax Genesis
I listened to it, & it's I N C R E D I B L Y J A M M I N G.

@@hemangchauhan2864 Wow, it really is amazing what he's getting out of the Genesis.
Do you know how to find soundtrack downloads etc for retro games???
Tim Follin’s ONLY Genesis/Megadrive soundtrack. Man, I would love to have heard more of those!
ive always found it interesting how back then, you could immediately tell if the game was designed in Europe, US or Japan based on the in game graphics style. excluding cut scenes and stories.
yeah. even though this looks way better, the animations kind of remind me of Home Alone 2, especially when climbing.
It's hard to say with this game because Malibu was based out of California but they hired a lot of british developers.
@@CarozQH I would say that, broadly speaking, what applies to US developers also applies to Euro developers. Western games in general always had a look and feel to them that was distinct from the games coming out of Japan.
@@peterbard1815 I think what really differentiated US and Euro games was the music. If it's full of arpeggios, it's probably from over here on the demoscene continent. And if it's full of obscure humour that only about four people fully understand, it's British.
I thought Mega and Super Turrican looked Japanese
SNES Drunk: come for the game reviews, stay for the MST3K references.
Crooooooooow
The Master would approve.
I guess...I never played Metal gear solid 3 though
The snes drunk intro coming in with some POWER this episode !
You could almost say Nintendo Power?
Now it’s playing with power- SUPER POWER.
Yea I literally thought to myself that he hit that SNESDRUNK aggressively
I met Dale! I loved time Trax and told him. We went and smoked in my car and he was the coolest guy ever. I told him my dad and I watched every episode. He really is awesome!!
Pics or never happened
@@taghkrell haha. Not fair. This was like 10 years ago. Very special night for me.
@Sandman Slim ugh. I'm sorry I even said anything. It meant a lot to me and i was trying to share. Nevermind. Grow up
@@danielshuben242 Someone's always gonna have something to say. Never let that stop you from sharing your experiences with other fans. Plenty of us appreciate it.
Wow, you should be proud of that Vincent van Torgo joke.
I have been collecting Super Nintendo games for about 18 years or so and I have never heard or seen this game before. I didn’t know it even existed. It shocks me that I still find games I have never heard of before. Thanks for showing me!
The sprite of the main character looks like Charlie Sheen lol. Great review - I had no idea this game existed, gotta try it now.
He actually looked a little bit like Charlie Sheen in the show.
It's a Bogdonoff bro
Time to search for this gem on the modded mini
Before HIV
Bruh. I loved this show when I was 10!!! The jungle level looks like a more actiony flashback. I wish I had known this game existed At The Time!!!
@Sandman Slim brassiere?
Yup. Growing up in Pakistan in the nineties, I remember watching this show after school. Never knew a game existed though; Pakistanis, barring that one fancy kid with a SNES, fell on Genesis side of the SNES/Genesis divide.
You poor sega-owning bastards.
@@vajoynus sega >
90's seemed so random, varied and fun compared to now in terms of media and pop culture. Imagine making the equivalent of a home alone hand now!
One of my first games for the SNES.
Jeremy Jordan reference?!
I see, a man of culture & taste.
You are on of my favorite channels. Another great video! Keep 'em coming.
5:04 That's a rather cool section because the helicopter is smoothly tilting/rotating, but it's not using Mode 7 so it's doing this along with a full background layer (thankfully, as basic or missing backgrounds is one of my pet peeves when Mode 7 is used for boss battles and the like in a bunch of SNES games), as well as the nice perspective effect on the ground using line scrolling. It works well visually for me.
Tim Follin's Time Trax Music 4 is pure elegance in music form.
I'm going to add this to the list of games I need to pick up - shame that Genesis version didn't get a release though, the music and the time effect actually make it more appealing!
Play the gen version any way you can
just as i was checking for a new vid, notification popped. nice timing :P
Same here
Same.
great video as always thank you. that time slow move is pretty cool!
This was oddly one of my favorite games as a kid.
I loved this show as a kid (in Sweden, where it was also aired), I used to record and rewatch episodes on VHS. Never knew it had a game back then though.
That Manos joke😂
I just got this game last week. And your review is spot on perfect.
0:50 yep, i watched it when it was broadcast here in Chile. I only remember the episode of the boxer and that everyone in the future can see in slow motion though 😄
They had other powers too. Like Captain America level physicality, super speed reading and the ability to memorize everything.
I'm from Germany, Capt. Darien Lambert was my childhood hero here in the 90s, and nemesis Dr. Sahmbi was hilarious. I still watch the Series for nostalgia purposes
Yay you mentioned my country :D. Great vid.
This was one of my favorite shows and didn't know that had a game for this lol
Is the show for adults or teens? Worth watching today?
I wish Babylon 5 had got a game
It very nearly did - babylon5.fandom.com/wiki/Babylon_5:_Into_the_Fire_(Game)
Both on the real
There is no way the Genesis version will be better than the.......
"Tim Follin did the music on Genesis"
.........nevermind!
Great video. Was looking for a succinct explanation about this game, as I just found out about the Megadrive version with the Tim Follin soundtrack.
WOOOHOOOOOO you mentioned my country!!!
I wish you the best of luck from Chile!!
My name is Vincent van Torgo, I paint sunflowers while the Master is away. It'll be a starry night soon.
Also I cut off my oversized knees while my actor was high
So the game time tax wasn't released in time...
Edit
Time trax
@Sandman Slim DAM YOU AUTO CORRECT!!!
traditionally, when you edit for typos you fix the typo itself
@@ChibiKami ~traditionally you shut up~
I left it there so the comment below it made sense
I wish "Time Tax" was a real game. We already have a comic book called "Captain Tax Time".
@@otaking3582 ok I will make it!
Another game I never ever heard of. That Mode 7 effect on that helicopter is pretty neat. Thanks for the video, dude!
So Glad you brought up the Genesis version... the Follin's soundtrack for this is stunning.
I often just put it on while I'm working, just incredible stuff he was able to make those chips do
For a sec I thought was Chandler in the game cover.
Great review! keep up the good work
I want to thank you for making this video and hope you have a great rest of your day
Time Trax and Early Edition were two of the shows that aired (locally) at the same era and I loved both.
Amazing video as always, great intro song, 9+/10
Early Edition was great, way ahead of its time
I was one of the very few teens in my classroom that loved the show and I enjoy the SNES game as well. Solid review SNES Drunk.
You had me at "Tim Follin did the music for the Genesis port", what a baller
Dude....you seriously have THE best SNES channel...I've officially seen all of your videos now lol
About the grabbing thing, I prefer it that way so you only grab when you want to.
"Vincent van Torgo." Brilliant.
Looking back at the early 90s it amazes me how many tv shows I completely missed out on. I must have been too busy hanging with friends, playing video games or doing my homework/studying for school that I have no memory of this show. Looked up the intro for the show and it looks like a show I would have watched back then. It's like Quantum Leap meets Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman with almost a Forever Knight cool/badass vibe to it. Seriously, look it up. It's one of the weirdest, yet awesome, and most early 90s things I've ever seen.
SNES Drunk vid with both Tim Follin and mst3k references 10/10
I love this channel it’s awesome 💪🏾💪🏾
That's Patty, not Selma. Unless that's the joke.
I'm not in that fandom- would you be so kind as to explain how to tell them apart?
@@zc7372 different hair, jewelry, and wardrobes
@@zc7372 Selma's hair resembles an "M", same with Patty with a "P"
@@DaedalosC9 I never caught that!
@@DaedalosC9 2:59 I neither see an M nor a P.
Great review of an obscure piece of nostalgia!
This looks good never seen it before this channel is so enlightening and actually makes me wonder just how many SNES games are there lol makes me want to become a collector
I'm not much of a gamer anymore besides the occasional use of an emulator, I just gotta say I love your videos and never miss a chance to watch. All the best to you, my friend!
The Parallax-/Floor-Scrolling is pretty well done!
I agree wholeheartedly. A nice game based on a short-lived TV series.
The Genesis port didn't get released also because Malibu went belly-up. But the music was definitely top notch in that version alone.
Used to watch this show. Loved the early UPN content while I was in highschool.
He said Chile! Vamos CTM!!
somos el mejor país de Chile
I am obsessed with your content 👍🏽
OMG Chile got a mention on SNES Drunk!
5:17 - “Vincent Van Torgo!” - It’s the ‘Trax! The Trax of Time!!!
I love listening to snesdrunk talk about games I will never play! lol His voice is just perfect background noise while I'm playing my switch!
I used to love this show!! (Greetings from Chile)
The more I watch these videos, the more I realize the gems that I missed with being only NES/Sega during this time
Yeah! Same here
"I'm not my father! I'm a COP! It's who I am, it's what I do!"
Oh wait, wrong show from the Prime Time Entertainment Network.
The crop dusting comment got me. Good stuff
Crazy! I had no idea they made a game based on that show. I used to watch it every Saturday night with my dad, and was actually quite into it at the time. It's a show I've never bothered returning to though, and haven't thought about it in years.
I remember really liking this show and since then always named the time machine in Crono Trigger, Trax.
Omg be brought up Jeremy Jordan! I Wanna Girl by Jeremy Jordan was my favorite guilty pleasure back then haha 🕺🏻
NintendoComplete did a LP of this recently (last year). I vaguely remember the show. I was more of a Quantum Leap guy.
That moment when they talk about Chile...
I've only listened to the amazing Genesis soundtrack but I might play the game now if not for curiosity!
Tim Follins is greatest retro game western composer IMO.
I remember that show. I would tune in for B5 and see ads for it.
I remember seeing this game reviewed in one of my SNES magazines before the show even got aired in Australia. It's actually the reason I watched it.
You saying Chile instead of Chili made me proud 😅
Me paso lo mismo!! Jajajssj
@@gringo50 jajaja rara vez lo pronuncian bien jaja
La raja encontrarse con estas cosas! Viva chile
@@gringo50 viva Chile!!!
I grew up with the show and the game on the SNES and they are both highly underrated. I met Dale Midkiff at a con in 2019 and he was surprised that they was a game when I showed him my SNES cart of it
This review makes me want to play it!
Hey, he finally covered it! I left a comment about it months ago. It was a decent show (if you enjoy campy serials like Knight Rider) and the game even got a spread in one issue of Nintendo Power.
I’d love to see (more?) revivals of all these forgotten 90’s properties given a “modern” aesthetic
I remember that show Never got a chance to watching it used to air on UPN probably check it out on CZcams
The plot sounds like Demolition Man, but backwards in time rather than forward
I was a big fan of the show at the time, and I remember reading about the game in Nintendo Power. I'm glad to hear the game was worth a play through.
A screenshot is on the box! That's seems quite rare.
I was pretty young when this came out so I never knew about it! It looks like a decent platform error! Awesome video Drunk!
Yes, we saw this show in Chile! Cheers! 😎👍
The master appreciates this review.
played this yesterday still a classic
Loved the show!!! Loll
I loved that show when I was a kid
I absolutly love your videos, but now that you mentioned my homecountry, chile, ifeel the buterflyes in my belly
I just found your channel and now I really want to play the old games. However, I don’t have access to them. Where can I get these games?
Also aired here in Argentina
Best “SNES DRUNK” intro yet.
Wow...didn't know there was a game for this. Love the TV show back in the 90'. Mana go find this rom and try it out. thx.
He's the painting in charge while the master is away.
The thumbnail brought me here...I was like...Lewis???😒😂
WOW! I completely forgot about this one.
Torgo! Nice reference!
I hope you have a great day too, Mr. Drunk.
I hope you have a great rest of your day too SNES drunk!
Never heard of it before! But I’m sure I would have enjoyed it back in the day
I remember this show coming on after B5 late Sunday night. I remember watching it, but couldn't not tell you one episode's plot.
OMG I used to watch this show.. have not even thought about it in over 20 years..
