A playthrough of Bandai Digital and Presto Studios' 1996 interactive movie game for PCs running Windows 95, Gundam 0079: The War for Earth.
For those of you that like incredibly odd, obscure, and cheesy-awesome games, this should fit the bill well. It's Gundam, in a fully FMV game full of QTEs that always seem to end in things exploding in quite a dramatic fashion.
And if you wanted to know how to say the name, the Japanese title, ガンダム ダブルオーセブンティナイン, is a phonetic transliteration of the English title: Gundam Double-O Seventy-nine. So yeah. A 200-foot robot wants to be a super spy. Err....sure?
This is the Windows 95 PC version of the game running through Windows XP. This recording isn't directly of the game play - it is a replay through the game's built-in playback function. At any point in the game, you can hit playback and watch the entire game up to the point you've played. I finished the game, so it runs through like a complete episode. The video is pillar-boxed in-game, so since there is nothing else onscreen but a stop, play, and pause button during the playback, I scaled the video to fit the widescreen frame while keeping the aspect ratio intact. It looks much nicer this way.
Anyways, the Windows 95 and PowerMac versions apparently had extremely low print runs, and not many people ever heard of the game, let alone bought it. These PC versions were the only ones released in English. The most popular version, the PlayStation port, was released only in Japan, and all of the video in that version is dubbed-over in Japanese. It was also released on the Pippin, but not the PCFX. Go figure.
So, here is a forgotten relic of a bygone age, and one that is MUCH better to watch than it is to play. It's ridiculously picky and cheap to play through, so don't sweat it if you can't find a copy. It's a fantastic movie, and really really sub-par game -- even by the typical standards for the "interactive movie" genre.
