SHOW NOTES
– According to Price Charting, all versions of The Incredible Crash Dummies can be purchased for $3 to $16. The box and manual for the NES and SNES versions push the price up to $22 and $49, but really, these games aren’t especially worth any price you’d pay for them.
– While we mentioned LJN, the game’s publisher, on the show, we didn’t talk about the developing company, Gray Matter Inc. According to Moby Games, they were Canada’s biggest game developer at one time, and they do have some OK games on their dossier, like WWF King of the Ring and NHL All-Star Hockey. But, they also did Wayne’s World, another notoriously awful game.

TIMESTAMPS
- 0:00 – Intro, which features one of the nifty commercials for the movie, which is seriously much, much better than the game.
- 41:30 – Emails! We learn more about Ole Scooty, and there is a check-in from everyone’s favorite Pokemon lover.
- 56:00 – It’s the hottest new feature on this show! Ask The Sweet Boys.
- 1:03:00 – Snifferoo. Thank god, we’re playing a GOOD game next week… For reals.
SHOW NOTES
– According to Price Charting, the various Bill & Ted games are cheaply priced. The cart costs about $9, and the box and manual go for $22.99. However, it’s a horrible game, so do something more effective with your cash, like burning it with fire.
– According to Entertainment Weekly and other sites, Bill & Ted 3 is still on-track to be made.
