Captain Novolin Video play

[juiaob]

I am 21 years old, i have played countless brutal and morally questionable games... but this by far has offended me the most. I never thought i could hear the sound of diabetes.

[SirVincentSalizeri]

i was sent here by Seanbaby. He did not make any exaggerations about this game's quality.

[YeyJordan]

I'm a newly diagnosed 'betic and seeing this game just made me feel a lot worse D:

[joevox316]

According to Wikipedia the good Captain here can "stomp enemies by pressing the directional control down" when he jumps. Well I'm sold.

[DudleyScardsdale]

It makes diabetes fun!

Wait...

[Leishmaniasisably]

"Blubberman..." all diabetics are fat?!

[JesusX666]

Why are Joan Rivers and fat Will Smith telling you what to eat, and why the hell is he casually walking >.> could the army? or a more competant superhero get it done?

[skydemonairpirates]

0:50 ITS MICHAEL JACKSON!

[Hamham300]

@skydemonairpirates ITS OPERA WINFREY!

[TheDiabeticFury]

Not diabetic approved.

[squal132]

This game really offends me for I am a diabetic, does that mean I can't touch anyone without hurting them, and I can't touch sugar without getting hurt.

[stjimes]

and dont forget to check out "captain hemophiliac"

[MorfGworfmim]

I <3 this game's music.

[FraudNoNag]

The sound design is such a cacophonous mess. The music that plays when Captain Novolin is on the conveyor belt is hilarious.

[Ghettoflame1]

@FraudNoNag Sounds like the Bill Cosby theme on Vinyl when you take it out of the washing machine.

[flyworld3]

WTF

[wackplayer]

What do you expect for a game aimed at sick kids in hospitals? At least they can get a bit of morphine for the pain this game causes.

[werewolfsfury]

this game is stupid they would of had better luck if they got fatman to save the day

[ThePieIsFalse]

this is one of those games that is bad when it came out....but after a few years looking back....its REALLY bad, so bad its funny.

[monumentious]

This was the game that ruined my Christmas. Thanks aunt Marcy

[knuclear2008]

2:13 oh so he can pick up that bowl of cereal but he gets hurt by a box of cereal :( lol or was that soup...

maybe they made this game just to scare young video gamers inflicted with diabetes, by being hard and making junk food the bad guys...maybe...

[tonz32]

this game is so ridiculous

[ultrakupra]

this looks like a real shit

[PenguinKommando]

I think it looks like a fake shit

[rush1er]

Oh yes, this game came out at the same time as Sgt. Valtrex. You have to keep your herpes supressed... it was a hard game that went on for life.

[DeimosComaBlack]

"Captain Novolin is a video game about a super hero that has diabetes."

Really? I swear that should read:

"Captain Novolin is a video game about a deluded individual that has lethal allergies to just about anything."

[RobotwarsKing]

Too true. Did they have to get the only Diabetic, Pacifist Superhero in the City to save the Mayor?

And I never quite got what the Code my Doctor said was best for me was, you know. And somehow, I don't think it's a Game Genie.

[RobotwarsKing]

It's ridiculous how Captain Novolin can't even punch the evil snacks, and can be killed by Cereal!

In fact, I see this game as something not to educate Diabetic Kids, but more to blatantly taunt their disease, wouldn't you agree?

1:17

"Yes, thanks for reminding me, Nurse Soulless-eyed Monkeyface. Now to jump on Doughnuts!"

[Keysta7]

THIS GAME SUCKSSS

[NelEspada3]

lmao "Blubberman"

You could "stomp" them if you hit down when you jumped, but that isn't obvious. This was the only attack that Novolin had. Pretty sad for a washed up superhero :P

[Shavarnarak]

Some superhero this is. Not only doesn't he do anything but dodge enemies instead of fighting them. TOUCHING sugar is deadly to him.

Where they making fun of people with diabetes?

[aerolithoz]

one of the worst game ever

[dakarus]

check you feet

[Cesar32114]

this is stupid ...

[joseaca]

its like the worst artist ever born meet the person with the worse idea ever and they came up with this game

[lasjd11]

Lol , funny game .

[SpaceNinja88]

I played through this game... oh my god, the ending sucks as well.

[Riteksi]

The lamest superhero. Beaten by a box of cereal?!

[gigametajoe]

I played this at a doctor's office once. I cried. In laughter.

[blackfire20]

corny game!

[ovotroncito]

the black doctor looks like the one from doctor house

[brendonian]

Worst. video game. ever.

[Davoidbot]

From this game I have learned that if you touch diabetic people they will get severly injured.

[ToniTheMink]

Man, you as much TOUCH these guys you're dead... You have to avoid every one? Can't even kill? :P

[kylekero]

Actually, if you press down, you can squash the enemies.

[poqnsmknbuy]

ooh creative, mount wayupthar

[NarutoGlomper]

This game is very insulting to people with Diabetes! I should know because I am Diabetic myself...

[djleeroy85]

True that!

I have diabetes and I can't help but feel like this was a parody of a pretty serious condition.

[NarutoGlomper]

Amen to that!

[DragonFly122]

This what the AVGN should review.

[carljenk]

FOR SURE!!!!!!!

[kylekero]

I second that notion!

[essej]

Sound in this game is grade A garbage.

[qbmaya]

I had this game when I was a kid. Man, we've come so far.

[LoneSoldier51]

Everything that Shaq touches, turns into a pile of shit. He was in a terrible move called kazam, he made a horrible rap album and a crappy game called Shaq-fu.

[salvage126]

At least Mario is Missing was more fun to play.

[shinobikurisu]

this is an offensive joke for people who have diabetes.

[FlameChocobo]

How Crippled is this game?! I hope i go back in time to stop this game.

[CrackStuntman85]

This game is more stupidier than Shaq-Fu.

[vgfanatix1]

No. Shaq Fu sucks donkey Dick. This game just sucks in general.

[CrackStuntman85]

True, still, Shaq-Fu sucked because it was stupid and Captain Novalin sucked more because it is a broken piece of shit (seriously, You have to be backwards to jump. How crippled is that?)

[punkrawkpunk88]

They made me play this game in the hospital 12 years ago when I was 7 and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I thought it was awesome. I remember beating it!

[Gladrius]

Yeah um, no offense but that's because when you figure out how to kill people it's like the easiest platformer ever.

[mr3urious]

Grumpy Gamer Bitch was right! The music does sound like something off Seinfeld!

[Panpizza15]

Captain Novalin is weaker than a normal human, just eating an extra sanwich can kill him

[XxCrimsonxXxFuryxX]

That was a real game!?? waht the hell! thats wierd!

[MarkWeekday]

They gotta remake this for the xbox 360 and ps3!

[FireFair89]

If they did that, the PS3 would be no more.

[subklueless]

this is the dumbest premise for a game ever thought of

[TuxedoMelvin]

Whoever is playing this really sucks.

[eightbithero]

That's the thing, they probably don't! the game is just so bad that it's nearly impossible to avoid the enemies. If i were a diabetic kid playing this game I'd be praying for insulin shock.

[Pikawil64]

"Novolin cannot attack at all."

Actually, you have to press down while jumping to attack them.

[thewanderer30]

How exactly does a doughnut kill you? I can only assume it forces itself down your gullet, where it fiendishly raises your blood sugar to lethal levels. That bastard.

[GarySpotter]

lol, well said

[spenshel]

Hi everybody, I was the programmer of Captain Novolin back in 1992. So...fire away.

[eightbithero]

haha, you probably shouldn't announce that in public.

[Panpizza15]

wow, realy? I would of thrown the cartridge to you head if I ever saw you walking down the street

[Spunkles]

good grammar

[KeijiKG]

So he's a strapping young version of Wilford Brimley?

[Milter]

So happy to not have diabetes....i never wanna play this game and never even wanna see it again... I think i goota go burn my eyes out now to forget seeing this!!

[Swervedriver007]

I want to actually track down a cartridge version of this game

[Swervedriver007]

the best thing about this game is the music, and the well I guess goofy looking happy enemies cause I can't exactly lose my temper at such happy smiling enemies

[Swervedriver007]

hell they should have just sent a bunch of third world starving kids that would have solved the problem real quick

[ElSingario]

"Our city is being invaded by giant, anthromorphic junk foods! We'll send the only diabetic, pacifist superhero in the city to combat them!"

Although it doesn't look like Novolin knows he's supposed to be fighting evil. Guy's just trying to eat breakfast.

[GuruLarry]

As if people with Diabeaties don't suffer enough, they have to be tourtered further with this shit.

[sixuntilme]

I have never seen this before. I've been diabetic for 20 years and I can't believe this is the first time I have seen this video game.

Ah ... the internet.

[mickbynes]

I have played this before and it is pretty hard getting up to level 3... yeah I think I made it up to that level.

[Akutare]

Heh... I know. The walking Banana is amusing. Too bad the two doctors couldn't have Novy kill himself. I may do a replay of the game also if you are intrested.

[Swervedriver007]

one of my friends is diabetic and was actually forced to play this game when he was a kid, repeatedly!!! he still has nightmares about it :( I always found the music during the level catchy and more entertaining then the game which was a fucking god awful torture to play, though the walking banana always made me laugh and the enemies made me snicker as well

[Kahran042]

I feel for your friend, man, even though I've never played this game.

[molondrongo]

A videogame full of enemies starring a helpless, diabetic hero. Yes, it sure tought kids how to eat right, but... it surely gave them a frustration even more harmful than diabetes itself.
