My grandfather is the first person I ever played Ocarina of Time with. I was on the controller and he would just watch for an hour or two and try to solve the puzzles with me while I visited him during the summer when I was a kid. Years later when he came to visit we went to the rental store to browse. His mind was blown when we found this. Needless to say; it was just like old times with me on the controls and him watching a video game adaptation that was 40 years in the making 😂

My older brother used to play them in front of me, because i was tol ypung to play them, so i didn't know how to play the much harder games with diffivulty slikes, i would get overwhelmed just rotating the PC game's camera!!! So having my older brother playing them in front of let me enjoy the story, gameplay and cutscenes without having to struggle playing the game and losing most of the time!!! Edit: just reread your comment and your Grand-Father was the one seeing you play, i always wondered how it feels like to see someone watch you play a video game, Yotubers who stream their games online must feel that way!!!

There's one somewhat similar early 2000s game called "Prisoner of War" where you get carted into pow camps and your objective would usually be to get out of there, iirc. You might be interested in checking it out. It includes things you'd expect, like having to assemble at the roll call at designated times during the day etc. I remember it being more free-form and too much for my child brain, but still tense and fun.

I actually love this video game. One of my childhood staples. Another one I recommend which is very immersive (I'm sure outdated now) is Prisoner of War - a WW2 POW game where you're trying to escape various prison camps through full scheduled days. It's super immersive and stressful when you're skipping out on role-call, breakfast, or recess to steal something from a guards quarters.

I think all the cool little 'social stealth' ideas in this game really show just how impressive Hitman 2 was the year before - outside of the modern Hitman games, most other games haven't met that high bar of level design mixed with clever use of AI and scripted sequences. I'm reminded of that mission in Black Ops: Cold War for the same sort of appeal.

In fact so many games back in the day failed and the publishers got into millions of dollars in debt and just kept going because the revenue was propped up by sports/licensed games but that kept them afloat for a time and at the end of the generation and starting with the new HD generation all went under.

So my takeaway halfway through was "oh, it wanted to be an immersive stealth sim a la Thief or Deus Ex when it grew up," then you mentioned the aborted salute mechanic and yeah, that's *exactly* what they were trying to do. Shame it didn't quite work. Incidentally, one of my family's faves in the day was Chicken Run on PS1, the tie-in to "The Great Escape WITH CHICKENS!!!: The Movie", which was explicitly a MSG clone and quite a good one at that; it doesn't try to be as immersive as TGE, but still has a fairly large open world and is a better, more complete game overall.

Well that explains a lot about Kojima's taste of motorcycles he must have heard about the Triumph motorcycle used in Great Escape for the most memorable Steve McQueen scene

Ah, Conflict Desert Storm. Now that takes me back. I gotta do a video on Conflict Vietnam at some point.

Man, I loved this game back then. Played through it multiple times and became a fan of the movie too. I do in fact think it’s underrated as is another game by Pivotal called “Conflict: Vietnam”

A reason for 2000's Great Escape game, it was remake of Great Escape game for UK 's Sincler ZX Spectrum based on film. It was very very popular game inu UK, Portugal and France for Spectrum .

Damn it, you conviced me again to pick this one up (again). I used to have a copy but it didn't impress me at first but now I see I was rushing to try it and didn't give it the right mood.

Love the mid to low tier games of yesteryear, usually was a cheaper game so you don't expect much which leads to more enjoyment when it surpasses those low hype levels. Thanks for the awesome videos!

I rented this game when I was a kid. All I remember is the opening scene, which probably indicates I never got past it.

11:10 The actual scene with the jump over the fence had been done outside of Rosenheim at the Chiemsee in Bavaria. Also most of the cuts of the following Germans on motor bikes had bben done also by Steve McQueen himself in the best tradition of Silent Movies were those cuts had been produched the same way Just the famous jump scene had been done in a stunt by a professional out of insurnce reasons The wire by the way was a rubber prop The camp by the way was a forest property in Grünwald, in the South of Munich and the shown train was a Privat trek between Munich and Tegernsee/Bad Tölz with a Museum´s train often used fdr filming and aveertisements shoots yes the actual bike chase in the game had bee as bad as the car race in MAFIA

I also find it funny during the train level that you have to jump through millions of hoops and murder dozens of guards just so you can get a key to unlock the back door of the train so you and Blythe can jump off it, even though there’s plenty of other spots on the train where you both easily could have jumped off from as well.

I had no idea this game was made by the same studio responsible for the Conflict games, I loved those so much. I remember always passing by TGE in the $5 used bin at Gamestop and thinking "The hell is this, some Medal of Honor/Wolfenstein ripoff?" This was the same mindset that forbade me from every picking up Fallout 3 or New Vegas for years, so thank god I fixed that lol.

0:59 okay I think we can ALL AGREE that Agent Under Fire was an EXCELLENT game for the Ps2 era. Graphics were great, controls were superb, and just the plot of the overall game was FIRE 🔥
