“I don’t know if the internet has ruined me...” Stop there, the answer is yes, it ruined us all

This game was originally called "I want my money back".

“It’s all a dream” great explanation for all of the early bad movie based games, like the one’s from Laughing Joking Numbnuts.

3 videos in 2 weeks Octavius is on fire

"Mommy" looks like Lisa Simpson in 2600 graphics. The character you play reminds me of Elton John as The Pinball Wizard in Tommy.

I like the way that the bear... Thing.... Sort of disco dances from side to side.

The Atari 2600 Jr. was my first console. My mum sold it for 50p at a school fare without asking me.

I distinctly remember this game. I had a huge collection of Atari stuff from flea markets and yard sales and one day my mom brought this thing home and it always stuck in my mind as the oddest game.

My dog is named Teddy, he suddenly became very interested in this video lol

Someone is on an upload roll and I like it

You have been absolutely on fire lately, Octavius! Keep on crushing it!

There's a little boy on the Teddy Apple cover art, so maybe the boy's name is Teddy (Theodore)?

I love that you cover odd games I've never heard of instead of being like many other KZfaqrs and just covering stuff AVGN covered years and years ago.

The bear on the cover looks like a combination of Winnie the Pooh and Ted, so I can’t help but find it adorable!

octavius blessing us with great content again.

Always loving me some octavius! Thank you for making this content

Great video. I really enjoyed it! Your research on the origin of that game is THE reason why we had the video game crash of 83 in the states. There were so many games that were just copies of other already released games and poor quality games about that many folks who were into console gaming stopped buying games entirely and/or kept returning crappy games to the stores. That caused stores to pull back on selling games due to high returns. I remember going to places like JC Penny (who sold electronics & appliances in the 70's and early 80's) or Sears and seeing clearance bins overflowing with 2600 games marked down to 99 cents each (or less!) just to try and get rid of them in 1984! One of the big reasons why the NES didn't looks like any other console and came with ROB when it was released in the states in starting in late 1985 was because retailers did NOT want to stock it at all if they thought it was going to end up like previous games consoles. That's also why Nintendo had such strict licensing requirements on the NES. Retailers practically demanded Nintendo do that in order to sell the NES in the first place!

That title is indeed quite terrifying. Sounds more like a psychological horror title honestly. Also, the whole Open Sesame connection is interesting. I personally think that Open Sesame is the origin point, mainly due to the "Open Sesame" voice clip screen, as adding something like that to a hack would be too much effort, and it would be much easier to just dummy it out. I guess someone who's got the knowledge required to reverse engineer 2600 games could check if the code for the "Open Sesame" screen exists inside "I Want My Mommy" or "Teddy Apple".

The teddy having patches while being likely being sentient is pretty horrifying in and of itself.

Always great to see a new Octavius video! I hope we'll get to see rats today.

SO happy to see you're back! Enjoying your content as always

For those who don't know, the controller Octavius is holding is an Atari 7800 controller and not the Atari 2600 controller, but you can plug the 7800 controller on the 2600 console and you can even play 2600 games on the 7800 console =)

I used to bus tables at a family friendly restaurant. If there's one thing I learned, it's that kids can make their legs work or their eyes work but they can't make them both work at the same time. The number of times I'd be running food and WHAM kid just crashed into my legs. Somehow I never spilled anything on one of them.

Nice to see you uploading again. As always great videos.

CCE was brazilian atari game publisher too, iirc. Cheers from Brazil!

So much content so little time! Good to see you back in my inbox!

Just what I needed. Thanks, Octy.

The voice synth reminds me of the broken PA in Half-Life

CCE releasead a bunch of Atari games here in Brazil in the 80s. They also made Atari 2600 clones and all sorts of electronics (tvs, radios, etc), all very poorly made, so people always joked that CCE probably stood for "Comprei Coisa Estragada" (bought something rotten).

This looks like a very special blend of LSD, brick-sized pixels, and a design document put together after several bottles of absinthe. And by special, I mean 'absolutely bloody terrifying'.

These old Atari 2600 games really used to make kids use their imagination. Dream demons, a bear and Mommy's special kisses=strange looking things, a person flailing their arms and a square bouncing around the screen. Oh how I miss those old games.

Please for the love of all that is holy can somebody give this incredibly funny and talented girl a TV show....Sarah you are awesome. Thanks

Awwww Occy. Aint no worm in Tequila ( IT MAKES ME HAPPY). Mescal is where you find the worm....the key.

I used to play on an amiga using an Atari 2600 joystick. I remember one weekend I went to Nottingham round my mates and was playing this Robotron clone called Llamatron. I was drunk and on a few substances in a darkened room with no windows. After a while, my hand started to hurt as those joysticks were killers. My mate comes in the room and says "wft are you doing here!" It turns out they had forgotten I was there and had left on Fridays so I was sitting there playing it night and day monged out of my face for a few days and that it was Monday haha!

Huh... does it feature a child on a gas mark wandering around and saying "are you my mommy?" That ep of dr who was proper nightmare fuel.

Much more Octavius uploading! Yaaaay!!

Proper nerd here. Yep, absolutely loved the rabbit hole bit at the end. Would happily watch an hour on Atari versions from you. Maybe not the funniest, but the most interesting part.

You did a lot of work on this one! I don't really like 2600 games but this video really kept me interested from beginning to end.

10:05 had me dying, great video as always octavius!

Great video Octav1us!

probably shouldn't have watched this before bed huh.

No wonder Teddy's having nightmares, Mummy looks like Yoda's jaundiced cousin in a dress!

On a roll with the content lately!

Amazing esoteric find

I had a version called Tom Boy...it was exactly the same as Open Sesame...with the speech as well as the same graphics. The cartridge artwork had what looked like a Tarzan child thing swinging through the jungle on a vine.

"Aren't they demons? How can they have halos?" Literally the concept of Hazbin Hotel

You definitely went way down a rabbit hole on this one...I didn't even know about this one, and that's saying something. Incidentally, "Mommy" looks like a jaundiced Yoda, that survived fetal alcohol syndrome.

Decided to do a 5 year Anniversary channel marathon so here is my HI to try and make the algorithm be nice. Thank you.

Still on my marathon great channel

CCE was (technically still is but they have zero employees and are practically a zombie) a Brazilian electronics company founded in 1964, infamous for its slew of awfully low-quality knockoffs. They made famiclones, Atari 2600 clones, Apple ][ clones, unlicensed carts for the 2600, the NES, I think the SNES, poor excuses of imitations of other companies’ VCRs, CD players, DVD players, televisions, microwave ovens etc. In the 1970s, they were a Kenwood licensee, which might be the only time they didn’t knock somebody off. At some point of their history, it is said that they would outsource the manufacturing to tiny national industries that were literally ran out of people’s sheds and slap their logo on it, but idk how true is that. In 2012, they were bought by Lenovo, who proceeded to crash and burn the company and then sell it back to its original owners in 2015, since when it lays dormant. Polyvox was one of its competitors, but CCE’s quality and price tag were infinitesimally inferior. Brazilian electronics history is a network of rabbit holes of their own. Edit: lolgrammar

Gewan Octav1us! That was some proper detail on some old school atari. The council of deep internerds are pleased \m/

Huh. Second video I've seen today that mentioned Bentley Bear and/or Crystal Castles. Which is far more than I'm used to seeing.

girl i loove your channel its s cozy, your not loud, yoou consitantly make me laugh, and i lovvve really old retroo games, also i love how UNDERGROUND your channel feels, i want it to grow ofcorse, but woowoowie this is such a magical time for yoour channel, the editing is top notch, sound and all aroound qquality, is fantastic ^_^7 great work!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that teddy bear was an inspiration that resulted in the creation of Freddy from 5 Nights of Freddy's

Yay! More videos!!

"Double Ghost!" Yay! Classic Octy.

I'm excited for this video

Refreshingly honest on what “research” actually means, in the age of KZfaq. I do miss flicking through a wall of file index reference cards just to access a page in a book, in a centralised municipal library.

mommys special kisses is like the ultimate safeword, neither will want to even look at each let alone carry on xD

Double Ghost, YAY.

Yay - Nice one Octavius ♥️ ♥️

Forget Baby Yoda, it’s time for MOMMY YODA.

Let's dance put on the Atari and dance with me

Cant see enough of your vids

Hmm, Crabby's Adventure could be (sees Phoenix Games logo) Oh-ho-ho-this is going to be goooood.

Actually I think he's suppose to be wearing Sirwal, a type of trouser introduced by the Persians. They're also called harem pants and influenced parachute pants.

7:50 it looks more like a Atari "sprite" of a woman giving birth, you know she have her legs straight up, no pants, but here green shoes and magenta socks are on. i think she also suffer from oxygen loss, she's a bit "blue" in her face.

And I thought asset flips was a recent problem.

great review, your made for this :) retro games and beautiful host, what could be better :)

Oh boy a new video from mommy octy!

Poltergeist 2 has taught me to nope the hell out of tequila worms!

The 4 dislikes have ChildLine on Speed Dial

That was rather well researched. I'd have given up after five minutes of Googling. And like you, I cringed at the mention of "Mommy's special kisses." 🤮

Certainly very interesting. Be great to see a video about the TV Boy.

'Mommy' kind of looks like a Ferengi. Y'know, if they put a Star Trek TNG game on a ZX Spectrum, and hired a possibly mad graphics designer who'd never seen the show, and had the characters described to him in a language he didn't understand, while he was drunk.

I actually have this cartridge in my collection. Bought for $1.25!

CCE was a brazillian company that made "alternative" cartridges and clone Atari consoles in the 80's

I am not sure you are supposed to eat the worm in the Tequila - as far as I know it is just in there to proof that the booze has a strong enough alcohol content to conserve the worm.

It is the 12th of April 2021. Octy has uploaded a video. She awakens from a restful sleep to a rumbling. Curious yet filled with trepidation she opens the bedroom curtains and- bleary eyed and confused- sees the mass of BO and mysoginy advance over the hill toward her like a smelly Minas Tirith. The neckbearded saw the video. They saw her call the stock photo "daddy". They believe they are her type. They saw the emoji as a bat signal for those who idolise anime characters and sleep alongside body pillows which may shatter if thrown against a hard surface. Octy never thought it could happen, yet always knew. She readies an Amstrad CPC gaffer taped to a broom handle in a perverse recreation of Cloud Strife's Buster Sword and heads into battle against the hordes...... God bless you Octy. May you prove victorious.

No, Octavius, they're NOT feeding me. And, please, it's just Ted.

These videos are hysterical! Always fun to return to, thank you much! 4:28 🐻 😀 15:03 not a patch on Donkey Kong 🤣 17:48 for the win 🏆😁

Slay, Queen Oc!!!!

I can't even give them the benefit of it being too much of a pain to change sprites because at least one of them had to have changed them.

Such a sad looking bear. :(

If I had seen this cover as a kid, I would've cried my eyes out. Poor little teddy!

Teddy Apple would mean the kid is named Theodore. Teddy for short. Like the American President from years back. I think.

...it could be called "Teddy Apple" because the kid is named Teddy.

I saw this at Nashville toys R Us,when you took a post it note to the game desk

... --- 15:55 Hey!!! The HOME VISION Ad on the right is written in italian !!!!! --- ...

"double ghost" callback 👍

Mommys special kisses is definitely some kind of drug mummy gives teddy ther to make it shut up!

Now I can't unsee the enby flag xD

Nice to see some Atari 2600 content from the other side of the pond, I'm thinking it wasn't a very common console in that part of the world? Sinclair must have curb stomped it?

Are we into vertical shooters? Asking because of the crt in the background.

Great background story there! Would have loved a full playthrough - or is this all there was? I guess I´ll have to go down the rabbit hole for a bit ;-)

This must be the predecessor of Among the Sleep.

“Awwwww. Double ghost” Lol

This a sprit swap of some other Atari game but can’t remember what it is but I had the said version when I was kid

CCE is just a Brazilian company of eletronics that made Atari clones and bootleg cartridges (with CCE on screen display altered from original data) in the 80s

I don't remember Mommy having three faces...
