Big Stevie Cool approves of this vid

Pit Fighter came up and I just laughed and immediately said "F"

I can’t wait to start seeing Genesis games in these Let’s Rank videos!

One of my favorite series to watch at the moment. Seriously. Love the tone, love the quality, love the effort. Keep it up! 👏👏👏

I loved Ren and Stimpy back on the day. Every Sunday morning back in the day me and my Dad used to trip off of it.

Best part of James Bond Jr was the theme song. Still stuck in my head 25+ years later

Time Trax was a syndicated show. I think I watched it on local channel 43 WUAB in Cleveland. Dale Midkiff from Pet Sematary was the lead actor.

@4:42 nice touch in Lawnmower Man with the car bouncing up and down when you jump on it.

Rocky and Bullwinkle was very much a 5am cartoon in the late 80s/early 90s. It reminds me of being awake 3 hours before i had to go to school.

To paraphrase Chris from Family Guy; "How do THQ keep getting work?"

This video could have been titled "worst rental games of my childhood."

1:34 You'd probably like a little indie game called "Hidden Folks" which is kind of a cross between Where's Waldo and a Hidden Object Game. The gimmick is that everything is hand-drawn, and all the sound effects are just the designer making funny sounds. It's really cute.

10:37 I loved Time Traxx.. That was my Saturday afternoon show when I was a kid in the early 90s, along with Knight Rider and Airwolf. Never knew there was a game to it.

Great video! Loved it! These ranking list style videos are the greatest!

THQ actually did go on to publish some pretty good games near the end of their run. The first great games they made were the WCW and WWF games for the N64. But they had some pretty good series' on their roster in later years. UFC, Saints Row and Darksiders to name a few. Unfortunately, those series weren't enough to save them from bankruptcy. But THQ is remembered, and they do have a cult following. They had a really good run for what they were, and didn't flat out fail miserably like their other toy-turned-video game publisher LJN did.

Recently I’ve been playing through the Saints Row games. So much fun. I had forgotten that THQ used to publish this dreck, and I don’t think I ever knew the name stood for a toy Headquarters before this video. How times change.

I have a lot of found memories of Road Riot. My brother and I played the heck out of it. We we always say last lap to each other. Glad to hear the Data East video is coming up. Thanks for another entertaining video.

Time Trax was a rad show! I'm pretty sure it was syndicated, so it showed up in one of those odd afternoon slots depending on your local stations, but I enjoyed it a ton (and no, I won't rewatch it to tarnish my 13 year old self's memories of it). However, total Mandela Effect moment, because I could have sworn I read about this in an issue of a game magazine being cancelled and for years would think, "That's a bummer, Time Trax would have made a great SNES game." Now that I am properly freaked out, time to hunt it down. Great list as always Riggs!

Ok, I was like "there better be a Thomas game if he's going to play the theme song."

Bangerang! Loving these ranking videos!

Been waiting for this one since you mentioned it on an older video, so worth the wait. I remember playing the old Home Alone game and my mate been super impressed with how good the gfx looked.

"Time Trax"--along with "Brimstone" and "Andromeda"--is a 90s show I'd be interested in watching to see how it compares to those type of shows in the later decades.

Love these lists John!

Love these ranking videos!

Look at the bright side, Riggs. At least Rocky & Bullwinkle didn't have obnoxious music like the NES version.

Long time subscriber. Good luck on 100k, only a matter of time.

I have a vague memory of renting Home Alone from Blockbuster and taking it back early. Talk about your low-effort movie tie-ins... ;)

Do SNES Interplay next.

I concur, watched Rocky and Bullwinkle around 5:45am. Getting myself ready for school.

I didn't know THQ was a toy company I related to a toy company but it makes sense now because most of their games were about the same level as LJN but for some reason it gets less crap and less hate than LJN even though most of their game library is about on the same level as LJN.

Rocky and Bullwinkle made a resurgence because Nickelodeon started playing the re-runs every evening like around 6 or 7. I watched it every day.

As soon as the Wayne’s World Clio started I thought, “It looks like Journey.”

Lol yeah the way you described pit fighter seemed like you was at a loss as to what to say....i would of been too 😂

Ooh good timing

Love the video John

Great video man can't wait for the Genesis series

Love these videos!!!

And there's still Acclaim and Ocean. Abandon hope, all ye who enter. The R&S games do a good job of swiping poses from the cartoon, at least. Yes, that's a redeeming factor.

Love your vids mate; strong work. Suggestion: A video ranking games developed and published by Nintendo; that would be an interesting list.

James Bond Jr is James Bond's nephew I believe.

Love the content keep it coming

Oh man I had totally forgot renting that Rocky & Bullwinkle game back in the day. I'm pretty sure I thought it sucked even back then haha.

Actually, Wayne's World on the SNES is an all-time classic. It definitely does not deserve a "D" ranking. NOT!

I just saw on John Hancocks channel he is ranking games in the exact same way as you John. You know you are doing things right when people are copying you 😊 We know you did them here first John! Keep up the great work!

Time Trax was syndicated. In my area, it aired usually on the channel that would become UPN a few years later and I believe our local Fox affiliate for one season. SciFi Channel was still in its infancy and wouldn't have first run shows still on the air for a few more years.

These series got me subscribed

The Home Alone game for the Sega Genesis was a lot better than the SNES one. Time for the time travel of emulation to see how well it held up!

Home alone 2 better be good!

I didn't really play a lot of the THQ games back in the day for the super NES but I have to say that lawn mower man game looks pretty good. THQ had some really great wrestling games though and burnout was pretty good too. Awesome Vid

Wow...James Bond Jr. Totally forgot it existed, but now remembering that it had a decent theme song

Thanks for the list

Cool vid John!, I’m a northwestern guy myself so it’s real cool to see ppl from my area do this kinda thing. Fantastic content. Maybe you do a Disney capcom ranking? Or maybe just a Mickey Mouse rank? Lol. Have fun sir, God bless.

I love your content, dude!

Data east For nes please

Good video, amazing thq 🤣 , please make a video for taito nes ranking please. Thanks for the work

I agree with you on the rating of these games, i didn't rent them all but the ones i did, you were right on the money. Friends of mine rented most of the others so i was warned ahead of time that they were bad. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Thank you very much vor the ranking. I will look a bit closer for the ren & stimpy games, cause these look pretty interesting, compared to the rest.

With you did a nes code master ranking . Love your videos

Cool, but we want NES THQ! Thats where its all at.

A lot of people forget how rough THQ was back in the day, and I suppose it's not a huge surprise, since the company was founded by the same person who founded LJN. He was apparently a really nice guy who did a lot for kids. I might be that one person who actually liked the first Home Alone game; there was something about collecting all of the things, depositing them in the basement, and locking them up safe. Maybe that's the OCD talking, and maybe that says a lot more about me than the game, but I enjoyed it. The Lawnmower Man VR sections were neat, but I'd seen a similar thing in Thunder Blade on the SMS (scaling not nearly as smooth, of course) back in the day, so it didn't completely blow my mind; never saw the movie, believe it or not. Time Trax is a game I don't know very well, but the PAL Genesis version was my gateway drug, so to speak, into SEGA Genesis music as a whole; I even had a Genesis back in the day, but wasn't really into the music other than Sonic until that, so it's a really neat game to me. I don't remember the show at all, but the OST is definitely worth a listen; just avoid the NTSC (60hz) version, since that sounds like bad '90s aerobic music.

These vids are great 👍

Time warp was the last Ren and Stimpy game released for the super Nintendo.

I watched Time Trax! It came out on the PTEN package with Babylon 5 and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. It premiered very close to when Deep Space Nine also came out. The show was basically a watered down Timecop where he came back in time and could shoot the fugitives with a tag that could send them back to the future. His zapper thing was disguised as a keyfob for his car- very high-tech at the time! I didn't even know it had a game.

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle had some resurgence in the '90s for a little while anyway. It was always kind of on reruns. It was one of those like "I would watch it like 5am/6am". You know on whatever channel. And I like Rocky and Bullwinkle. I actually quite liked the cartoon quite a bit. But with like the new one and everything. And then they made a platformer based on this. I kind of like it.

Man, John Riggs is killing it lately

Whoa that first home alone game is great! Lol man, we loved that stuff. The music on level 2 is top notch stuff. You sure you know what you’re doing in it??

Whoa! I haven't seen a Blue World Order shirt in at least twenty years.

The only game from here that I played was the first Home Alone SNES game. I never got around to beating it. I guess I was too young? I hated fighting those bats in the basements. I also remember having to drop bricks on the ghost boss in the basement... It was always the basement.🤣

I miss renting games and snes, a trip to the video store was like my favorite thing to do. EB games and the like have that cold corporate feeling, there was always that video store that felt like home, that was close to fast food and liqour. They were really cool, like when you rented consoles or vcrs they would give you a cool black case or something similiar to transport it in. I have an idea for ranking videos that I would like to see as a long time fan of Caveman games, you should pop out a ranking of Multitap and similiar device games on how good of a multiplayer game they were. With the recent success of Among Us, it really makes me jones for some party play!

If I still had my comic books, oddly my Ren and Stimpy #1 would still be the most valuable.

Never owned any of these. Very interesting how bad to mediocre most were. I remember trying out Red and Stimpy Fire Dogs at Blockbuster on a kiosk and thinking “Stimpy’s Invention is SO much better!” Great video John

LOVED Lawnmower Man. Such an underrated hidden gem.

Riggs ruless! Nuff said!

Wow time trax! I forgot about that show. Talk about a 90s throwback.

The best thing to come out of THQ was the WCW games for N64

James Bond Jr was his nephew lol, I did like the toys and cartoon when I was a kid, he had like a weird fake accent.

I am looking forward to you covering Ocean Software Snes games. I grew up playing Jurassic Park for the Snes, and never beating it.

So, THQ is basically LJN for the SNES. Dude you were very generous on your scores 🤭

No joke, the Thomas the Tank Engine game for Sega Genesis is actually good.

Great quotes my man !!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the James Bond Jr. cartoon.

THQ made the best wrestling gams Smackdown Here Comes the Pain, is still the quintessential wrestling video game to me.

I can never tell if the rocky and bullwinkle games were meant to look like they were made in MS paint or not

I actually used to play that Timon and Pumba game on the computer ... countless.. countless hours ...

James Bond Jr was the nephew of James Bond. I watched way too much of this cartoon and am sad that my brain saved that information.

If you like Where's Waldo then you definitely have to check out Hidden Through Time on the Switch. It's a game like that where you find different characters or items and you can even make and submit your own created levels. Btw I always look forward to your videos. I love your stuff!

Definitely a shovelware list. THQ I feel got better during the PS1 era, but crash and burned when the GBA came out.

The first few games look like NES games, or even older computer games. They have a Jill of the Jungle look to them

I watched The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle in 2000 at the cinema, it was good but bombed in the box office. Had some famous people in it and was a live action animated like Roger Rabbit. Shame they don't do those kinds of films any more.

CHQ made one of the greatest games of all time with no mercy

Home Alone is decent! I was able to beat it!

The video title says NES, I was just doing an NES marathon, I got tricked by this one!!!

I kept getting distracted by whoever is behind John.

Love ur games Mr. Riggs!! What do u use to capture ur games? I want to make videos like this so bad! Happy holidays to u and ur fam 💯

Time tax ran on Fox at a weird time on Friday nights back in my hometown. You can watch it today on the Roku app, its a great hidden gem kinda show!

I remember when Rocky and Bullwinkle made a comeback in the 90s.

Think you'll ever do one for Gameboy/GBC games? I'm always looking for new stuff to play on that system.

Shadowrun did the whole “Matrix” thing a lot better than The Lawnmower Man. Personally my favorite T*HQ game was/is NHL 98. My brother and I had so much fun with that one. It was an EA title though (distributed by T*HQ maybe). I guess you might cover those soon??

I thought Buckeroo$ was godawful. I could imagine my teeth grating if I had to hear that rendition of Happy Happy Joy Joy any longer than five minutes lol.
