Aho Slightly boomerish of me but this was the first time playing Castaway (by popular demand) but what other Sims titles do you guys want to see?

The Sims 2: Castaway walked so that Project Zomboid could run.

This game was my childhood. Can't believe someone would pick this up again someday.

I like to imagine the Xerxes are just one man and his multiple personalities

This game was so ahead of its time, predating the survival game genre. Even as a kid, playing it on the Wii, i couldn't put it down. Years later as an adult, survival games would kick off... And this... is where it all started for me. Trying to scratch... THIS itch specifically

One of my favorites, the fact you dont have a normal job and everything is done through materials was really fun Also i remember overbuilding and my house catching fire

This game always felt like a massive monkey and coconut fever dream

It's weird to think there was a time you could make games like this and get hundreds of thousands of CDROMs printed. Like, at some point someone had to drive a truck full of The Sims 2: Castaway away from the factory.

I'm not sure if you take suggestions but The Sims 2 DS was the weirdest game. I replay it every few years would absolutely love to see a video on it as nobody really talks about it.

"Man, this Sim's name is super hard to say. Well, better name an entire family the same thing and rattle off their names all at once just to punish myself for my sins" - AmbiguousAmphibian, probably

TS2 castaway was the birth child for survival games, the semi in-depth resource collection & crafting, shelter building, clothing damage/crafting, hair growth. It was actually pretty impressive considering the time, I should get the dusty ol' ps2 out to play this again at some point

This is my favorite, favorite, favorite sims 2 spinoff. I’ve probably put hundreds of hours into it between childhood and adulthood. I am so excited to watch this. Thank you for playing it.

It will never stop suprising me how they used to make basically different games under the same name for different platforms. I used to play castaway on pc and it looks nothing like this.

From tickling the Black Eyed Peas to hugging monkeys. I may need to get into the home console Sims universe.

I for one love this bold reimagining of Nigel Thornberry's history

I'm glad to see you just made the Spiffing Brit as a sim and through him on an island to survive

got emotionally attached to them monkeys last time i played lmao

I can remember playing this as a kid, I only made one Sim, didn’t realise you could befriend the chimps, and was scared to leave the beach at night. My play through eventually ended with my Sim being super depressed without any entertainment and crying every few steps. I found the radio in the plane and was forced to use that to improve his mood. The last thing I remember is being at the top of the gorge dancing with the radio and crying repeatedly lmao.

With that moustahce and a gold monocle, I would have named him Spiff.

Back in the day me, my sister, and mom played this together. Good memories

Xerxes looks like a "proper british lad" ready to "civilize" the island.

Oh my god you brought back a memory that I haven't seen or thought about in a long time, also this game was on phone

says he's making a neckbeard, then skips past the fedora and gives him a monacle and no beard.

1:23 That's a REALLY good edit! Wow!

I remember finally beating this a few years ago. I was super sad how easy it was to beat when you actually have gaming know-how. As a kid this was the toughest game for me, but I’m so glad it stood up to the test of time (in my opinion)

BROW, memories unlocked, I remember there was a hidden crystal island if you did like a hieroglyph quest or something like that, also I remember when I found out the secret on fishing, you had to wait the fish animation to jump so you can use the spear, this game is insane, I played it so much

I remember seeing a friend playing this game on his TV in his house once. I could never find it again and assumed it was just a fever dream

One week from Monkeyslapper to Monkeyslaver. Progress level: British

Oh my God I am so glad to see you finally playing this game. I always felt like Castaways was an amazing but quirky Gem of a game. It lacked a lot of creative options but the game play was pretty solid.

oh fuck yes, this castaway game has always been one of my favorites out of all the sims it's a really damn shame that they never made a modern version of this game

He tried to hide it with the hat and facial hair But AA can't hide the fact that Xerxes is just Adam Sandler

Great new name for a new Kenshi Martial arts-only run 😂

This is the only sims game i ever really understood and knew how to play. Never thought i'd see a video on it after all these years!

“M’lady” 😂 Now I’m cracking up at the thought of all the neckbeards fighting over her in future episodes.

SO glad you're playing this! I really enjoyed Castaway. It was a fun fusion of the two ideas (survival, which hadn't been done to death yet) and the Sims. And, for a PS2 game, I think it did quite a lot with the hardware it had.

Castaway was the bomb back in the day. Keep playing it AA, it'll make good content, and it gets better. The memories I have from that game make me mad that the "Castaway" idea wasn't done with Sims 3 or 4. It's a fun concept, and it's like a casual survival game; which could introduce people to the Survival genre by easing them into that style of game. 10/10 Banger concept and idea.

The aesthetics of game design in this era holds a special place in my heart

"Monkeys themselves sort of have neck beards, in a sense." I...I don't think I can argue with that.

I love how the crew is just clones of the same guy... and one woman... named M'Lady. It just cracks me up!

That reflect in the mirror at 1:23 was great to see.

Damn. Sims was ahead of its time with the survival adventure genre.

dude this is my favorite childhood game, along with friends of mineral town! been playing it recently again too. i always loved castaway aesthetic and the survival that goes with it. wish they made a direct sequel to this game, but i'm glad with the games like this today. thank you so much for covering this deranged little game, man!

i love how "fishing" is called "stab fish" as to show the true murderous harshness of survival

I used to play sims 2 castaway on my psp. By far one of my favourite sims ports. At the time I was amazed by the amount of crafting in this game and played it for literal hours.

Oh my, Ambiguous did the unthinkable... Went outside and found a copy of the Sims 2 on top of a palm tree!

All I could think when he was making the first Xerxe was "Why's it look like Adam Sandler?"

I'd love to see you continue this playthrough. Castaway was my favorite sims spinoff as a kid even thought I got stuck a lot.

I must say, sims 2 Castaway was my favourite of all of the spin-offs. And if you think this is bizarre, you should try the DS version. Its an experience.

This game, MySims racing, MySims Kingdom, and that one Sims Animals game that was based in Africa (I can't remember the exact name) were my childhood! This was so nostalgic. Can't wait to see you work your way through them all. I will also pray for the day you play the Sims 2 on the DS because I could never get enough of that game even though it was wildly unsettling lmao.

Damn, that tree trunk had no business being that cheeked up

This game has a surprising amount of content. Would love to see more! I remember getting probed by aliens and discovering the llama worshipping cults

Yesss I HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY MY AMBIGUOUS OVERLORD

You missed a opportunity to make a dragon ball joke by naming yourself lord frieza and ruling over monkeys LMAO.

I played this so much it nearly broke my PS2, it was so buggy and laggy. Haven't thought about it for over 15 years until it recently came up in a conversation, now you made a video on it. Susss

God this game. I played so much of it. I feel like I remember things but have no way of knowing if it was real or not. There was a jumpscare noise of I think the volcano rumbling that would freak me out

Ooga booga

Loved this game as a kid! Might need to go back to the islands to finally find that last map piece.

More of this please! I've never heard of a castaway spinoff of the sims, but it puts a nice and silly spin on the usual sims videos.

Sims 2: Castaway was and might still be my favorite sims game growing up. So glad you are giving it a monkey slap!

Very little to do about anything, but at 5:52 you run by something called a Pokeberry Bush. That is actually a real (but non tropical) plant native to the eastern and southern parts of the US. Unfortunately, the berries and mature leaves are toxic to mammals. You actually can make the leaves edible by repeatedly boiling them (dumping the water each time) to leech out the toxin - you'll know it's safe when the water stays clear when it boils. And the berries make a decent dye. My great grandfather would apparently resort to feeding his family the purified leaves when times were really tough. Birds will happily eat the berries (the toxin has no effect on them). Thank you for coming to my TED talk. ;P

I remember seeing my brother obsessively playing this game and inevitable getting stuck at the base of this temple he couldn't climb due to some level of fitness despite him nearly being maxxed out, also didn't help for his case that he could actively see the other sims climbing up and down it on their own volition but couldn't get up or switch to them as it was happening

I've wanted to replay this game for so long. It's one of the two games that got me into the survival genre, during a time when it wasn't even truly defined.

I need more of this. So bad. I remember having this as a kid, and getting onto the second island, but then my younger sibbling scratched the hell out of the disk so i could never continue.

I am so happy that you covered all 3 of the sims games that shaped my childhood. I knew I subbed for a reason. Haha

I lost audio to my earbuds during the entire time that the screen was panning around Xerxes on his boat. I thought it was some avant-garde comedy decision and I was losing my mind until i realized it was a technical difficulty 😭

I was just about to sleep. This is perfect timing. Thank you frog man!

This was one of my favorite games growing up. Thank you for covering it 💪

"admittedly amish" got me good lol

the sims 2: castaway was probably my favorite game on the ps2, I watched a playthrough not too long ago cuz I wanted a shot of nostalgia and here it is again

I fucking LOVE the sims 2 castaway, my absolute childhood. I wanted to play this on an emulator SO bad ever since it came out on PS2, and actually finish it this time, It's SUCH a cute fucking game and the concept it AMAZINGLY interesting to me and many others!! thank you for playing it in 2024 :D

Castaways was my jam bro. I love the story-based Sim games. I don’t like how open it is now like Simms busting out was fire. There was an objective passed away same thing.

The sqeaky sound during the "music listening" almost made me die of laughter.

I would love to see more of this adventure continue! From what I've seen of Castaway before, it's a pretty wild take on The Sims. But like others said, Medieval would be fun too!

this was Baby's first survival game for me as a kid, i had to have put hundreds of hours into it. I still have the old disk somewhere, this makes me want to revisit it all over again

id love more of this, its a nostalgia trip and one of my fave turtles playing it is a great moment, also good sleep aid XD more sims castawayyyyy...please

You always make me laugh like a kid when i watch your videos keep up the good work!

I’m so excited I couldn’t wait for you to get around to this one!!

I just recently asked for more Sims content and there it is it makes me so happy 😊

This was awesome, as always your videos are hilarious. Loved this game back in the day it’s so quirky 😂

Dat tree bussy @1:23

I remember playing a borrowed copy of this game for hours on end. I don't know why, it was so much unending fun for my ten-or-so year-old brain. I hope you'll continue the series.

I poured hours into this game staying up into the Am’s when my best friend stayed the night, good times.

I never knew there were so many weird Sims games. So it's pretty cool to be able to see them.

Still to this day this is one of my favorite Sim games ever, on occasion I bust it out and play through it again. It shaped my hopes for survival games ever since.

This game was my childhood thanks for the memories! Part 2 please!!

brings back childhood memories, thank you sir ambiguousamphibian!

That's crazy! Thats where I keep my sims 2 castaway ps2 disc too!

1:23 looking respectfully 👀

his character is like a caricature of these xix century rich guys going on a safari

I love how this whole video felt like you were losing your mind 😂

I played this game when I was in like 6th or 7th grade? I remember finally making it to the second island and still wondering why I haven’t seen a single other sim because I thought that maybe some would be living there already or there’d be NPCs if you didn’t make a group for the game. Had to start all over and made 6 sims to make it worth it and build up a good survival group. I’ll also never forget the time a hurricane hit and my sim who was still on the first island couldn’t sleep cause he didn’t have a shelter built, so he’d constantly get wet and wake right back up. He was constantly hungry too, and the thunderstorm just kept coming, idk how but I survived long enough to finally get a break in the storm to pass out, wake up, scavenge for food and then finally have a good enough mood to build the roof of the shelter

I don't know what I expected, but a tree with a dump-truck was not it. 10/10

This gave me so much nostalgia. Thank you sir 😢

This was the first and only sims game I've played, and I still love it

2:14 Ah, I see you're sending Spiffing Brit to the island!

MySims Kingdom on the DS was so strange and wonderful. I'd love to see you adventure through that

i had this game on my psp as a kid and i never see anyone talk about this one anymore, so glad youre playing it!

AA really just mad Spiffing Brit in a bucket hat and thought we wouldn't notice

This made me remember the times when i rented this game from blockbuster to play on my DS, good times!

This is Adam Sandler with a mustache - I'm convinced
