Yes. Although it was a little spooky.

I thought the The X-Files show sucked. So no.

>>1593104
Why did you think the show sucked?

Oh fuck, I remember watching my parents play this as kid. Nostalgia hit me in the face full force.

>>1593130
Your parents must be a cool lot if they go out their way to play an X-Files game

I had this game when I was a kid. Back then, I knew very little of english (not my mother language), so I wandered through the game without any idea of what I was doing. I remeber being stuck in a part with some trains, I don't know. Pretty impressive game for its time.

>>1593176
Is your native language Spanish?

If only we have got a SNES game based on the series for the poor kids who didn't have a PC or PS1 growing up in the '90s

Always thought about giving this a try, I've been a huge fan of the series since I watched it as a kid; I've probably seen the entire series 5 times through by now lol. Definitely going to play this.

>>1593332
That would have been so fucking cool

>>1593357
The PS2 game is good too, even if the tank controls detract more than add to it

>>1593194

lol no, why

Investigative adventures like this are the only genre suited for Full Motion Video games.
Shame Sega missed out on that.

Anyone played this? Thoughts on a bashable filing cabinet as the main interactive feature of an X-Files game?

>>1593449
Is your native language Swedish?

>>1593486

nope. how boring is it? i can't imagine it could be an exciting pinball game.

The PC version was a lot of disks for its time

BUMP

Played the PC version. It was harsh at times, the player had to act quickly at some parts. It was decent. The FBI approach was really cool with the (seemingly) deep investigation. It had a really dark atmosphere...

It appears to have been popular enough in Russia to be translated in Russian unless it is fan made

>>1594074
>Russia
>1998
>official translation

I don't think so Tim.

>>1594082
'90s had a couple of official translations, but they were rare as shit. For example Prince of Persia, Contra, and The Little Mermaid NES were sold in some carts with official Russian translations but they were that rare, very few people appear to have played them. They are not even in rom sets but Kinaman showed the examples I cited on his video. They were done by a group called Electronica.

>>1593060
i still have this and it glitches out when not played in a ps1

>>1594101
PS1 version confirmed for master version

Never completed the game, but i remember loving it. I remember getting really annoyed at that part with X i think it was, where he would just shoot me.

Learned a lot of English from and for it.

Randomly shooting people in this game was fun. Did the protagonist ever showed up in the show?

>>1594116
What is your native language?

>>1594119
hue

>>1594124
Is the series as popular in Brazil as it was in the Latin American dub?

>>1594134
It was popular, most people have at least heard about it, but It wasn't broadcasted by a big channel back then. Not sure if it was as popular as with the rest of LA.

Dubbed Mulder and Scully are ingrained in my mind.

I saw this at Hasting when they rented PC games, but I never knew much about it.
>In total, around 6 hours of footage was filmed for the game.[1] The video portions of the game were filmed between seasons of The X-Files and just before the feature film.
Neat. Might check it out.

>>1594142
Is the dub that good? Most Brazilians tell me their dubs are shit outside some cartoons that became so ingrained with kids growing up like Invader Zim or Flapjack. I'm Spanish speaking fag, can't tell you how much that is true or just 4chan trying to troll hue dubs.

>>1594156
I think generally dubs are, or were, pretty good here. Maybe it's all nostalgia, but actually preferred dubbed Mulder over Duchovy's regular voice.

>>1594161
Latin American Spanish dubs used to be good, but they have got lazy and shitty since the early '00s. I hope yours are faring better than our own

nah, i loved the show and was disappointed with this game... i guess i was too young to see a game in this thing

>>1594167
It is a lot more interactive than your average FMV game and visual novel, but I guess how much fun you get out it depends on interest in the license

>>1594074
It has an official French translation. I hope it is in German, I would love to get my fix.

>>1594260
*knock knock"
"come back later please"
*knock knock*
"come back later please"

I need to find this video. It would be interesting to know how much work was put into the game

>>1593060
Never heard of this game before, thanks OP, gonna try it.

>>1594578
The PS2 game is good, too

>>1594331
>Eat up Martha

>>1594727
>That incredibly awkward kiss option

>>1593060
maybe ontopic, but. is there any modern FMV adventure game nowadays? qith hi-res graphic, not 320x200 like these?

>>1595830
They kickstarted a new FMV adventure game of Tex Avery. I never played the original ones either. Actually, the only FMV game I've played it's Dragon's Lair on my PSP.

>>1593775
>A 6-player pinball game, called The X-Files, was produced by Sega in 1997.[218]
Heh, I thought it was fanmade too.

>>1593378
>>1594637
this shit?

>>1595863
You mean Tex Murphy right?

I was too much of an ADD ridden retard to appreciate it as a kid, how was it? Thinking about picking it up.

>>1593060
reminds me of Goosebumps escape from Horrorland

>>1597281
If you ever play Bad Day on the Midway, you will get a better Horrorland than The X-Files

>>1596984
It stands as a good FMV / adventure game on its own right, even if you don't care for the license

>>1596534
A Tex Avery game would just be like Toonstruck

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xERRV7JmZk8

>>1596502
Yes, that. I don't think it is that bad of a game but I'm an X-Files fag. If you don't care for the plot or the license, at best, you get a decent Resident Evil (pre-4) clone that is not too long or too hard. Odd choice of a video. If you want to believe the review without playing, you just led someone else tell you what to do. I would understand if the game was truly the likes of Desert Bus, but it is not as bad as that guy makes it out be, for a licensed game, it does the series justice, and while it is not as good nor as original as the PC game on this thread, there are worse games, licensed or not, much worthy of being avoided.

BUMP

can u fuk scully?

>>1599490
I don't think so. I think this game was made before they were a canon couple

BUMP

>>1594142
>but It wasn't broadcasted by a big channel back then
I remember X-Files being broadcasted on open-air tv (Rede Record) as early as 1994.

>>1594165
Sadly no. Brazilian dubs were awesome back in the 80s and 90s, I often preferred them over the original voices. The original dubs of The Goonies and Rambo First Blood, for example, are considered cult classics here. But it all went to shit since then, today most dubs are cringeworthy.

I was rewatching some of this show just the other day. The main story is aimless bullshit they made up as they go, but damn if I don't love the silly monster of the week episdos.

Point and click games aren't my thing, though.

>>1601393
Someone could really crop his face and make a good reaction image. I bet his actor (Mitch) had the time of his life playing a pissed off boss that tries to be more understanding with the two FBI agents that keep on working on cold cases that results on more shit for his department than he would like to. He was a fun and developed main character but they should done more with him instead of waiting until the last season

>>1601383
I hear the Beetlejuice movie had a stellar Brazilian dub but I never heard the same about the cartoon

>>1601406
I don't remember the Beetlejuice dub (never cared much for this franchise), but I believe it is. Most blockbuster dubs of that age were stellar.

What's even worse, is that most of these classic dubs were scrapped. Most movies, tv series and cartoons from that time have been redubbed - and not only broadcast but even DVDs and BDs use the new dubs. Beats me why. Often the only way to watch these old dubs is from people who had old VHS tapes lying around and uploaded them to the internet.

Pretty interesting to know that this decay in quality isn't only a Brazilian phenomenom, since I have no idea how dubbing is in other countries.

>>1601609
I didn't know DVD releases were replacing the dubs with new ones. First time I hear of such a practice, besides that time Akira re-dubbed its older dub because a different company got the license

>>1593060
Ooooh, forgot that game, used to play a lot the dvd-rom on pc, it was excellent
