It's really too bad this series never worked out. These were some of my favorite videos. I'd never realized how different mainstream 8 and 16-bit gaming was in England compared to America.

Actually, I can imagine someone making an indie game about going out for a walk at night. It could be a philosophical, psychological horror, or emotional game.

I really think you should bring this series back, man. I have loved every episode of this series.

"Early Evening Hiding Behind Walls" for game of the year.

That opening was glorious. Kudos to whoever created it.

Honestly, Nightwalk today sounds like it could be a very successful, alternative-style, psychological horror game. Most likely something with a ton of strange obscurity and lore behind it, the game would take the whole world by storm, particularly the younger generations, and then there would be at least 7 Game Theory videos made on it.

Interestingly, the two authors of "Night Walk" (programming and graphics) had *already* produced a Ghosts-n'-Goblins clone for the 8-bit Atari computers called "Domain of the Undead". Which was at least a good name, even if that wasn't a great game either. I wonder if this was originally intended to be marketed as a 16-bit ST version of "Domain of the Undead" by the original publishers (Red Rat Software) and then the authors sold it to Alternative instead?

"Age of the ever-living ones" and it's set in a graveyard.

It's 2021 now and taking a walk at night is indeed something that we can only do in the world of video games.

"Son, I am image macro" Ashens, you always make me laugh... **bursts into laughter**

*Nightwalk HD: Retribution* Make it happen, Kickstarter.

Seeing as I was interested to hear the full soundtrack of Night Walk, I ripped the music from the disk. It is named "enforcer2" which backs up your point with it not fitting the game at all. Probably something random sent in by Paul Krief [known as 'Rimshot' by the demoscene. Oh the irony!]. I searched for the game The Enforcer on the Amiga. I think the music would fit that much better (a lightgun game). So there you have it on that game. Paul Krief was also credited for the music in the game Grey Slayer. Played that (very fucking boring) and the music fits way better even if it's somewhat simpler AND 54 SECONDS LONG. I ripped that and it was literally named "fart". Can't help but be honest with his own song.

I'd really like to see another Terrible Old Games episode. It's been so long since the last one, and they're honestly hillarious.

Judging by the title, I thought that Night Walk would be a tongue and cheek game about a guy returning home at night from a random bar (gay or not) drunk off his ass, suddenly wandering into an ancient wood, being forced to fight for his life against zombies, ents, goblins, killer grizzlies and mormons. With the aid of a shotgun.

Would love to see more of these Ashens. I know they're more work for not much of a return, but still, you're so good at them. And it's always fun to see Commodore 64 and Speccy games I had to suffer through get featured.

The title screen must be the earliest image of the sliver skull

Would love to see more of these Dr Ashens

I actually rewatched most of these recently so I'm happy to see it return.

The fucking fact when I worked for Alternative Software back in 2008

"You won't Zub me this time, you...zubs." whatthefuckareyoutalkingabout-

New games in the line: Sitting Patiently 3D, Table Setting Simulator, and Fix The Zipper. Such classics.

More terrible old games, pls Ashens. Did you learn this release schedule from Guru Larry?

This game has "half-assed" written all over it.

The best thing is, go to ALTERNATIVE SOFTWARE LTD's website now and it says their celebrating "3O Years of Excellence" which is funny not only because everything they've ever touched has turned to shit, but also because of the long running excellence joke that Ashens has coined.

I actually really like the intro, before it turns into a cacophony of bitnoise. Also I may just have to try that Dalek game for shits and giggles.

Please make more of these, it's great to see what kids in the 80's had to endure with their non Nintendo and Sega consoles...Yeah I grew up in the 90's, since I was 6 so sue me. :D

that intro

That amiga music is epic lol!

AvP: Aliens vs. Popeye. I'd probably like that. I wonder how it compared to Popeye Saves the Earth, a pinball machine where Bluto feels like bringing rare animals into extinction for profit and Popeye travels around on a cruise ship.

Wow, the intro. Thanks for the nightmares.

Ah, Grundy New Brain and Acorn Atom.... haven't got those in my collection. Got an Atmos though. It's surprisingly capable (and by that, I mean quite adequate)

Gotta love the Zub shout-out. I actually read the story about the cover on the Pickford brothers' blog; how they'd offered to design their own cover for the game *for free*, but the publisher insisted they hire an outside artist to draw it instead, which is how we ended up with the off-brand Boba Fett in a Power Rangers suit.

I think the colour scheme and animation in this game looks pretty good for its time. Also do more in this series

i kept pressing to find out what the flashing picture was i expected an easter egg and it's just "options" :( that was 4 min of my life used for nothing :( ah well

Oh man this brings me back

So Pontefract is now known for two things - the Haribo factory and crap games.

The Rugby League games they make are very good and actually get substantially better with each new iteration. If only the same could be said for FIFA's game by game improvement.

Fantastic episode. I love this series and am glad to see you make another episode. Looking forward to that future project with you and Larry Bundy Jr.

I have missed these so much. Thank you for bringing this to us. I'd love to see more.

I quite like the name 'nightwalk'...

Brought me to their website just out of curiosity. Chef Excellence also has designed it. Go yourself, "AlternativeSoftware" second result.

I am so glad you finally uploaded this one to KZfaq! This is probably my favorite episode of this whole series. Speaking of that, here's hoping we see more Terrible Old Games in the future!

This is one of the best series I have ever seen! You should do more of these.

Gears of war...hiding behind walls? Okay, now i'm convinced that Ashens is in fact Yhatzee in disguise

Loved this series! Good to see this ep finally on the tube.

What were those black bumps at the bottom of the screen? Chairs for Tom Servo and Crow?

Thats why i never nightwalk on my own,because theres the danger that some evil zombie monsters from another galaxy chase me.And the problem is that i dont own a bow like the dude on the game.Cool review man hopefully we will see more of those.

I had this on the Amiga, never seen it mentioned anywhere before so thanks for digging it up!

You know, that description actually sounds like it would be a pretty awesome game or movie.

You needed an athletic imagination back in the day.

Ahhh I forgot how much I loved these videos. Please continue them!

This reminds me of an Action 52 game.

This is by far my favourite out of this series

Man I loved watching these on the old site some of the best videos Ashen has made. Vinnie Vole's Existential Nightmare is one of my favorites.

This was actually really good. More of these please.

Just wanted to say that I've discovered your KZfaq channel, and specifically your series about the crappiest old videogames. (You must thank Super Adventures In Gaming for this!) I'm a big fan! I hope you'll review more old games. Your voice is pleasantly soothing.

There totally need to be more Terrible Old Games videos. These are my favorite ones of yours.

Nice one, one of my favourite series of yours, you should do more

PSSST, lets rename games in Alternative software style Il start: Daytime Plumber Brick Jump

I've been waiting so long for something like this again

I like it because of the entertainment the video gives!

I was never really a fan of Early Evening Hiding Behind Walls (Gears Of War). I always preferred Underwater Little Girl Abductor (BioShock), Green Dude Shoots And Drives (Halo), and Sneaky Old Man Badass (Splinter Cell).

Awesome intro!

Yup, nostalgia boner, thanks for the reminder that you were, are, and will always be one of the greatest content creators ever. :)

Hey ashens I'm a really big fan of yours and I found this video interesting as usually. Love all your videos.

I can't believe you never uploaded this to KZfaq either. I've been waitin' forever to see this on not blip.

Man, I really missed Terrible old games you probably never heard of. Thank you dr. Ashen *_*

oh my god I choked on my tea... seriously almost came out my nose I was laughing so hard. thank you for the blast from the past.....

Man, you should make more these, Ash.

MORE, THIS IS AWESOME ASHENS.

Please do more of these man. I really enjoy them. More stuff us in the US never heard - the better.

Huh, that intro was Zero Punctuation tier. I like it

Fantastic intro. Great new series! Well done lad. Keep it up! Bloody hilarious.

That intro is a thing of beauty

amazing intro ashens, great efforts!

That was the best intro I've ever seen.

Bring this series BACK, baby!! It's fucking GOLD!! Lmiao. 💜

I was just wondering when we would get another one :) Thanks Ashens!

you remind me of the narrator in the the stanley parable

Thanks Stuart I was looking for this a while ago.

please more of these. they're great :D

I should play this game before I go to bed. I imagine it makes for a marvelous sleep aid.

Thats why kids never walk alone at night because evil zombies from another galaxies might atack you,and probably will need your trusty bow to defend your selfs.Awesome ashens my boy i would love to see that in some other episodes as well.

I like this series and finally to see it coming back for a while..I miss that "a fitting punishment" quote..

Hobby Gardener, Dental Routine, Slow Drywall, Front Sweeper, Tax Season, Paint Upkeep, actually pretty hard to beat Night Walk in shear title dullness.

This is really well done.

Please do more of these, they are excellent, your biggest fan aged 32.

we need more of these

This reminds me of an Action 52 game, but SLIGHTLY better.

The blurb on the back of the box appears to be describing the 2000AD strip Slaine.

I wish this feature could of worked... these are my favourite videos

1:23 - because in GoW hiding behind walls IS your mode of transport!

Thank you KZfaq suggestions you've done me right for once I forgot about that hidden gem!!!!!

I hope this becomes a regular series! Well done good sir!

I'm just happy to see NFS Most Wanted in an Ashens video. Boy, did I have a lot of fun with that game.

First time I've seen this intro! Awesome!

Good to have this back. It's been a while.

Funnily enough today's mold for first person horror games could be described as "night walk"

dammit ashens, we need more of these!
