I was really hoping for an honourable mention for the PC adaptation of Johnny Mnemonic - for one, the guy playing Johnny (who I believe was in Tremors 2) almost out-"acted" Keanu Reeves. For another, the game had NBA great Kurt Rambis and Isaac Hayes in it! Cringe-worthy moments were a dime a dozen in that game.

Some of those were painful to watch. Good top 7 though, can't wait to hear about em on the podcast.

Yeah, I was hoping for resident Evil to be on here; it looks like something a bunch of college students would film in their friend's field or something.

"NO! DON'T GO!"

You KNOW you lived through the 90s when you can remember frickin Wing Commander. I can't believe I liked the game so much. Maybe just because my dad played it or that it was like Top Gun mixed with Star Wars.....I agree with everyone else that watched the Command&Conquer clip, I laughed so hard that it hurt just because of how random it was. It made on camera headshot death seem HILARIOUS.

early 90s/late 80s chicks were the hottest chicks.

Another Digital Pictures gem was Crypt Killer. It had Vincent "Get off my TRAIN!" Schiavelli in it. One of the clips, not too long after the intro, when the female "love interest" is looking at your computer interface or whatever, says seductively, "I bet you can... turn it on!" WTF?!

Holy crap! I actually owned all of these. FMV was the shit back in the day. Now it's just shit.

I must admit though, I really liked Sewer Shark. But why does Mr. Ghost have to yell at me all the time? It really hurts my feelings.

Hey, my watch started working again.

HAHAHAHA I remember the Seth one, I watched it like 5 times and I still laugh every time.

The Wing Commander one despite being cool was also hilarious "those frothy targets, dead ahead". Too bad FMV's still look ridiculous today, although I can't help but love RA3's.
