😂🤣 "Bugle Boy Jeans"! Nostalgia at it's finest.
"Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy Jeans that you're wearing?" 😂

Rival Turf: for when you found out Final Fight didn't have Co-op.

[Davincion]

"Straight out of casting for Salute Your Shorts." I'm crying right now.

[MohanRam]

My parents bought me Rival Truf and told me it was Final Fight. I knew it wasn't, but I put in the game anyway to play (I rarely got games back then). To my surprise it was a lot of fun.

God SNESdrunk your analogies delivered in absolute deadpan in these videos are like EVERYTHING. You make me smile everytime I watch ol

[huemungus]

"Is that John Stossel?" :D that was great!!

[ShaneGooseman]

Maybe you could also do the opposite: not so good games with great covers. ;)

[hunterjenkins]

Thank you for this episode. Back when video stores were a thing my parents would take me with them every weekend and I could pick out a game or two to rent for the weekend. Seeing all these game covers reminded me why I passed up on renting/buying these games. Glad you added gameplay so I know what I passed up on over 2 decades later.

I want to play the hypothetical game that Phalanx’s cover would actually make sense with.

[marcellariviere]

"I think you could even play this one on your microwave at one point." Too funny😂🤣

Great writing, Drunk! Been binge watching your channel again...I love your analysis! I usually find myself agreeing with you, and you've certainly opened my eyes to a lot of SNES/SFC games that I didn't even know existed!

Am I the only one who noticed that kid's seriously jacked bicep? 😮

[barry-allenthe-flash]

I don't know what you're talking about with Buster Bros - those kids look cool _as hell_ with their hi-tops, sunglasses and backwards caps
- every kid in the 90's

Don't you pretend otherwise; you cringe _now_ as an _old man_, but we all *were* that kid at some point around '91, lol

And then, around '94, we all were those kids in the _Rival Turf_ cover, lol. NINETIES! (^-^)

[kikayei]

Those guys on the cover of “Rival Turf” must be in their 40s, maybe 50s today.

[fightdragons]

Guy on the cover of Super Soccer is based on German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn. Still a horrible cover, though!

[drewbocop]

"He looks like a combination of Malcolm McDowell and the guy from The Wallflowers"
I have never seen a more accurate description of someone in my entire life

[soniccrp]

I remember when I rented Rival Turf back when it first came out it reminded me of Final Fight!!! It’s actually a great underrated game!!!

[gelliaramadis]

I loved rival turf, and yes the box art always made me think those kids hung out with John Conner from T2.

[jaym]

My favorite part about Rival Turf was the fact that you could rename most of the enemies in the game. However, you had to complete the entire game first before it allowed this. But I think there was a code to either do it right away, or just get to the end fast so you could start a new game much quicker. I did this over and over. I was so easily amused back then.

Really showing your age with the references in this vid lol my 35 yr old self felt rite at home lol
