GYCW - A Very British Guide to Gaming Rip Offs...

[iNvictaStudios]

Oh, Rubber Ninja, :D

[xDanielx2016]

1:51 Are you referring to "Chef Excellence"? 

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@xDanielx2016 Oh no, this video was made long before Chef Excellence!

[xDanielx2016]

@ScrewAttackEurope Dont matter, this video was made with "Excellence" -whilst playing the chef excellence background tune-

[BillyCauseyjr]

you should review the AU DS remake of giana sisters.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@BillyCauseyjr AU? There's more than one version?

[BillyCauseyjr]

@ScrewAttackEurope did you review the ds one already? I thought it was an aussie release only.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@BillyCauseyjr nah, I've played it, but never reviewed it.

[dm6testa777]

mike tysons punch out made the greatest sports game of all time in early 2010

[TsunogaiDanshaku]

I had absolutely no idea Giana Sisters was an actual, marketed game! I'd only ever heard of it once and seen all of 10 seconds of footage before watching this, and I'd assumed it was a home-brew homage/parody! That's some pretty ballsy stuff they pulled, all right. The DS port is good news, though. Perhaps I'll be able to wank this after all! ... That... sounded wrong.

[iNvictaStudios]

I am speachless.

[Molotok]

Nice of the people who ripped off Punch-Out to play off the old British and French rivalry. Only way it could have been "better" is if the final boss was German instead. Oh well, that's what we had Wolfenstein 3D for.

Haven't seen or heard such racism since ... Some football/soccer hooligans ruining it for the rest of us, or the "Tea Parties".

[FlowerFlo1983]

There is a super mario bros game for c64 that was a ripoff off giana sisters (same levels and mapping but exchanged characters). Very ironic.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@FlowerFlo1983 Yeah, it's a sprite swap hack of Giana Sisters.

[madammanga]

7:04 you sound just like...y know..the Ashens guy.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@madammanga Well he's been in a number of my videos already.... Not this one though.

[SonicOrbit01]

frenchie france. oh my god

[sonickun95]

2:33...is that grapes on burgers? O.O

[willsoe]

Woah, Rainbow arts shoulda made a Giana sisters 2, being a rip off of Mario 2. It would be like a rip off of a rip off, and some giant rip off paradox would ensue

[wakkyvideogroup]

Do games also released in Japan as well as PAL areas count? What about reviewing Vib Ribbon and BCV: Battle Construction Vehicles?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Have you been reading my "future episodes" list at all? They're both on the cards! :D

[wakkyvideogroup]

What future episodes list?

Oh, and if you say BCV is good, I'll kill you.

[noobasaurus2]

I just want more GYCW.

As an American, I want to see the stuff we can't wank! (Wait, wut)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@noobasaurus2 New episode in production as we speak :D

[noobasaurus2]

@ScrewAttackEurope

I love you. :D

[WarioBrose]

I absolutely love this video. I'm a huge Punch-Out!! fan and I'm a little upset with that rip-off (but still interested in it.) Plus I love the Giana Sisters just as much as the Mario games.

Giana Sisters is 2nd most pirated? What's first?

Plus did you know that there was a sequel to the Sisters on the C64/Amiga? It is called "Hard n Heavy" where Armin Gessert dramatically change the gameplay of the Giana Sisters so he doesn't get any crap from Nintendo again.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Most pirated is "Thrill Kill" on the PS1, which was axed before being released.  Half-Life on the Dreamcast is third most pirated game.

I did not know that about a sequel, thanks for the info! I'll have to do something with that!

But glad you like this video, i'm dwriting up a sequel episode as we speak! I was surprised how popular this actually was!

[RorytheRetrokid]

off any of the games you mentioned, which game is the rarest?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

The last one?

[mightylot]

what was the channel you used to be on tv ?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

XleagueTV/Pulse, but I was also on Game Network a few years before.

[mightylot]

oh i always watched it but then it went of air

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Ah thanks dude! I'm reuploading a load of them onto here and TGWTG . com if you ever want to see them again!

[mightylot]

ok thanks :)

[wakkyvideogroup]

Damn, I keep watching this video over and over!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks dude, yeah it's done remarkably well on TGWTG and ScrewAttack too!

But you might like to know that I'm currently writing up a pseudo-sequel episode to this one! :D

[TheGamer19856]

same

[PikachuColoredPichu1]

Ugh, the Giana Sisters looked like hookers in their character art. Thank god the DS version made them more anime-esque.

[link1123333]

the intro never gets old

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks, I may tinker with it soon!

[Adultsswimer]

you should keep "would you like to Bee mah Friend"! part XD

[PercyandDuckfan94]

Who was Frank Bruno? I'm not much of a sports person.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Best to look on Wikipedia.

[LightDeoxys]

Super Mario Bros: Classic and awesome.

Great Giana Sisters: WHAT THE FRICK?! Even that stupid sheet with all the lies from people who claim it was better!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Interesting piece of gaming history though hey?

[LightDeoxys]

Dear God, the Giana Sisters also look ugly...Mario's a lot good-looking than those sluts.

[kasim505again]

Of coarse it bloody would! lol! ^_^

[13374naruto]

Awesome!!!!! Would you like to be my friend?....I don't have many friends..What does this have to do with this comment!!!!!!

[MegaCloud666]

at 4:25 i'm pretty sure a kick to the head isn't legal in boxing.kick boxing mabye but not norman boxing.

[118windsor]

From uk tv show head to head to utube gaming sensation, guru larry is a ledgend. Awsome vids

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Lol, thanks dude.

Can't stand watching me in this video now, I've lost loads of weight since!

[118windsor]

cool, btw, are u the only person who post video's on this channel? or is there other members that add videos, im new to ur channel. and ive subbed u

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks bud, hope you like it!

I'm the only one who puts stuff on the channel (Guru Larry) but if Wez ever wants something up, I'll upload it.

[118windsor]

thanks for the reply, its late but happy new year :)

[fisk0]

No mention of the more recent Limbo of the Lost? Very british, and very much a rip off, as the game was essentially just a collection of slightly photoshopped screenshots from other games, like Oblivion and stuff.

They didn't get away with it though.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Nah too recent i'm afraid, this was mostly for retro stuff.

[SoulWarrior265]

Hard to believe what these guys try to get away with. It's a lot like how licensed titles try to get away with plaguirsing another title. You'd be surprised how these people NOT get sued. Surprised Nintendo even forgave the sisters.

(Side note: Space Channel 5 for PS2 WAS released in the US, but by Agetec, not Sega, as a Special Edition. I just wanted to note that if it hasn't been already.)

[LiamRproductions]

[metalman2k9]

[Spriggangirl]

@ScrewAttackEurope Neither do I. I don't even know what the fuck that is.

[Spriggangirl]

Guru Larry, you really kick ass, man!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thankee ^_^

[thesunhurtsmyeyes]

the giana sisters look like a female puddin' and some drag queen

[xxxTaybotxxx]

Jesus fucking christ how many xbox games do you have?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Lol, well most of them are promo copies, I didn't buy many.

[MegaCloud666]

when will the next gycw be made?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

It's actually finished, I just need to re-film some of the bridge segments as I wasn't too happy with them.

[HavokkG1]

fling long chop? LOL

I need to buy that game =P

[SAPSowash]

Guru Larry FTW! You brits are awesome!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks dude!

[SAPSowash]

No problem. Games That Yanks Can't Wank is awesome! :)

[1joel8]

zOMG i didnt know you were fat lol sorry :/

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Well I'm not now! lost a third of my bodyweight in the past few months. But was back then.

[1joel8]

holy jesus fuck monkeys congrats :D

[cessnaace]

Cool opening them. :)

Yeah, I've seen this already, but it's still cool to watch. Right? "Of course it would" be. Is. Oh, you know. LOL!

STAY AWESOME! :)

[gregbest90]

# Would you like to be my friend, I don't have many friends, but what does it have to do with this soooooong!!!! #

Wicked song, wicked show. Looking forward to the new episodes...

[BillB808]

Those Rainbow Arts people kicked ass...loads of them were at Tennosoft (is that the right name, probably not) and made Apidya on the amiga, aka the best game featuring a wasp ever.

And i think a lot of the same people were on Turrican 2, a contra ripoff so good it was better than contra (well, maybe not contra 3)

[hairytroosers]

Ever played James Pond, now that was a good game.

I actualy had that grear gauna sisters for the amiga, i thought it was shit at the time , not giving it a chance because it was such a rip off of mario.

good vid though chhers

[Deadreckoning23]

just got posted this by a mate of mine calling u the brit avgn (but actually original and not a rip off like the irate gamer)

to b honest didnt like ur show on sky i saw a couple times (think it was pulse channel?) but really enjoyed this, will continue watching :D

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks dude, glad you like this :D

Well this is the sort of thing WE wanted to do for a show, rather than a shitload of compromises on a show THEY want to make.

[Luigi84289]

Wow everybody in that punchout clone was black. Something you don't see everyday.

[PatsWorld76]

BRIT POWA!!!

[freshtrav97]

I love it when narcis prince comes out in the intro

[GigaM64]

Well, of all names in Punch Out!! games/Frank Bruno's Boxing, Frenchie France is obviously the worst, but then second place is definately Pizza Pasta, the italian boxer from the arcade version. That one just screams stereotype.

[zoidsmaniac]

If you ask me, there aren't a lot of original games right now. We really need originality with video games right now. There are still some original games out there like Phoenix Wright and Tales Of Symphonia, but we need a lot more originality in this era of gaming.

[tylerwwev2]

you was on sky ?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I was, yes.

[ZippoReviews]

hey larry is it me or do i hear someone say arent you a twat before you start to tell us about originality? =P

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Yup, tis true :D

[ZippoReviews]

who was that? XD

[ScrewAttackEurope]

No idea, I ripped the audio from a team killing video on YT.  It's all fake :D

[ZippoReviews]

*gasp* the miracles of video editing =O

[JonnyInfinite]

that yanks can't wank? That makes no sense at all

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Made you think though

[JonnyInfinite]

were the Dizzy games released in the US.?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

On the NES, SMS and Mega Drive they were yeah.

[ARTHER1996]

yanks are fat

[thethorn42]

I'm american and I'm glad those didn't come out here.

[thethorn42]

Screw attack FTW!

[Dohguy22]

will u be posting new GYCW and new retro corners on TGWTG or are you still going to post them on SA again?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

New GYCW on SA, poss new RC's too.

But loads of stuff on TGWTG too.

[Dohguy22]

nice. its great to see a variety of audiences to view your work

[TheEarthB0undFan]

I'm wondering if you have an MP3 of the music starting at 03:18?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I don't have one, but I might be able to make one.

[EBFGamer]

Could ya?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

No, why do you ask?

[superduperluigi676]

This is awesome! Even though I'm american...

[ghostrecon420]

cool video

[Chaklawin144]

Awesome, my friend, keep it up. Also I noticed that you've reviewd an ocean game, care to do an ocean fest one day, if you can play their games and not drink rotten beer over it... Anyways 10/5. Can I ask you: Did you get to play the pc engine?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I've been tempted to do some Ocean stuff yeah, But I actually own an official UK Turbografx, total luck I got one too, but I own a PC Engine as well.

[davetecadmin]

haha nice one mate, very funny, i think you can still get Wimpy burgers in Basingstoke or Maybe Newbury some backwards town anyway

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Oh you can, we've got about seven around where I live.

You also see a lot of them at seasides.

[Republican1235]

lol awsome. are any new videos coming?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Soon, I'm investing in some HD equipment ATM, so just waiting on that to arrive.

[EarthB0undFanGamer]

Epic video britfag!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks Americunt!

[FinalGamerJames]

Wow this is pretty good, I'll watch more from you guys :)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks bud :D

[mudkiprules4]

4:48 LOADING: Destin's a Bitch lol

[ChrisChanGame]

Nice one mate!

[absinthematt]

I was one of the lucky ones who got The Great Giana Sisters on tape for the C64 before it was pulled off the shelves, I got it on the day of release. A friend has it now, I'll have to get it back off him and flog it off...

Didn't Zzap 64 give it a Gold Medal award?

[DUMMGUY777]

I'm gobsmacked at the boxing game, I mean what were they thinking??? bloody hell

[lazycrazybastard]

sick video guru larry

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks bud :D

[BritishEnvy]

I wish I knew how it's done, I have a mate from the States who has every arcade game on his Xbox!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Oh I've got that on mine, it's really not that hard to do.

[MrSteo95]

did someone call u a twat at the start

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Someone I TK'd yeah :D

[UkViper1]

Did someone call you a twat on xbox live at the start?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Someone I TK'd yeah :D

[therealhardrock]

It's too bad you Brits had a weak imitation of Burger Time whereas we in the US were graced with an arcade perfect NES port. In general, we were playing NES ports developed by the same companies that made the arcade games whereas you played home computer versions made by British software companies.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

No not at all, we also got the NES versions.

[therealhardrock]

But like you said, few people had an NES in Britain and I noticed that you pointed out the arcade version whereas here we would have pointed out the NES version which was more well known here. You also pointed out the arcade version of Punch Out suggesting that it was more well know in your country whereas most Americans don't even know that Punch Out was an arcade game.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I pointed out the arcade version as it was the original, rather than anything else.

Punch Out is more known for the NES game than the arcade, I never saw it in arcades to my memory.

We weren't all boycotting the NES in the UK you know, they were just dicks and outpriced themselves for most families.

[GamingAwesome1]

Do you plan on making more GYCW's Larry?

We will support you through YouTube's douchebaggery! If all else fails just release the vids on ScrewAttack and trailers on YouTube.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Yup, hope to do some more soon infact, just waiting to get hold of an HD camera ATM.

[GamingAwesome1]

That great news! Have YouTube stopped being asshats to you then or are you just riding it out?

[MikamiPro]

Joking about the DS port of the Giana Sisters right? Please tell me that's just a photoshopped DS cover.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

It's 100% genuine!

It's been out for a few weeks too, I (ahem) procured it for an R4 since and it's only 4mb, one of the smallest games on the DS!

[cooprey]

seeing frank bruno's boxing reminded me of that other great speccy boxing game, barry mcguigans boxing, great game don't know if it was a rip off or not

[HorrisNorris]

Haha, liked the hidden "loading: destin is a bitch" message!

[LondonOntGuy]

So Wimpy's is a UK thing origianlly eh? I always wondered where it came from because we have one here in the other London.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Yeah, it came about in the 1950's after the creator went on a trip to the US and saw how successful McDonald's were.

But bizarrely they're owned by a South African company now.

[bigl240]

fling long chop LOL

[shr3ddr]

giana sisters DS was amazing IMO

[Saxonation]

More like Great VAGINA Sisters, right Larry?

Do one on Manic Miner, complete the circle.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

lol,

well I've already done one on Jet Set Willy...

[Gamester81]

Wow some crazy ripoffs. The Punchout clone looks very interesting, and so does the SMB game. Great reveiw!

[azrial4421]

These games were played on nintendo?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

lol no.

[Jacketpotato1]

Its a shame that ive already seen this on this very channel

[ScrewAttackEurope]

how did you manage that?

[Jacketpotato1]

Sorry not on this channel it was on screwattack before but nice to see uploaded on youtuebe

[SplatterTrigger]

Pretty funny Larry!I had no idea(except about the Gianna Sisters) that so many titles were "copied".Thanks for educating me!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

No problemmo dude, glad you enjoyed it!!!

[Danniku]

I gotta admit, ever since I started watching the GYCW series I've been trying ever so hard to keep track of it; so much so I've been pissing my pants in fear of missing one. XD

As good as always, and now I need an aspirin to cure my headache from laughing too much. :3

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I wouldn't worry that much, t hey're not that regular :D

[Quicksilver920]

My favorite offensive character in frank bruno's boxing was the italian fighter Raviolo Mafiosi

[ultran33b]

I'm fucking glad to see you on Youtube again Larry, once again you made me laugh until my liver come out of my nose, great job!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Aw, bless thanks dude!

trying to bring back GYCW,  trying to see if some company will pick it up!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Oh, any favourite bits that made you laugh :D :D

[ultran33b]

2:32 - 2:41 XD

[hickstar2k]

i had the giana sisters on the amiga 600 oh why did i sell it all the money i could get now arrrrrgh!!!!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

You had a proper copy???

[HeshamUchia]

we never realy had arcades here may be im too young to rember lolx

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Just head to the sea side dude, plenty of arcades there in the UK!

[HeshamUchia]

its a shame bucks isn't a sea side county and everytime i go to the sea side for some reason i don't have money on me XD and there always realy dingy and yucky but... theres a bowling alley in our town and they mainly have shooters and slot machines which i don't like well shooters are cool BUT!!! it has mario kart arcade 2 and its the 2nd place other than butlins that i know has one and it rocks!! i kick ass all teh time :P

[CeeJaySteele]

I thought I recognised RubberNinja's animation at the start

Didn't know Wes was so musically talented :P

[allikohcysp]

good vid. LOL Giana sisters. Fucking hell, learn something new everyday

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Lol,  what did you play it on?

[Quiz1master5]

giana sisters does look pretty good

[ScrewAttackEurope]

It's almost on par with super mario bros.

[Kane1910]

british awesomeness :)

good job larry , as usual

[Mustardear]

What have you got against Destin?

[UnProBruce]

this just made me hungry anyone for wimpy? down the old pond in half hour

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Lol, Yeah I love Wimpy, just feels more comforting than McDonalds or Burger King, even though I still love those (esepcially BK)

[CoinInsertion]

Are wimpy still going? The last one I saw was in a megabowl that shut down 4 years ago.

'tis a sad, sad day :'(

[EnglishAndBlazed]

LMFAO@Frenchie France
