The point-and-click interface puts you in control of Beavis and Butthead, controlling their every move. The sole purpose of a 15 year old is to SCORE and be COOL!īeavis and Butthead must break out of Highland High School to hang out with local gang member and all-round cool dude Todd to reach their lifelong goal of getting laid. All blokes have been there before, and those of us who haven't, certainly will. If you're not familiar with the MTV cartoon, this game is a great initiation into the foul world of 15-year old hornbags.
The voice acting (done by all original cast members of the show) is simply superb.īelieve it or not this was the first I ever heard of the duo. Too bad all subsequent Beavis & Butthead games were inferior to this first release, and even got worse as time goes by.
There you have it- one of the best adaptations of a famous TV license I've ever come across. Virtual Stupidity does none of the above, but instead thrives as a refreshing, contemporary, relaxing exercise in moronic humor." Some adventure games test your cunning, your skill, and your MacGyver-like aptitude in building a flare gun from toothpicks and oily cloth. Or picture the look on Beavis' face as he inflates his shorts with a gas station air hose. Imagine the two as they interrogate patients on a mentally-deranged ward at the local jail. What makes this game so entertaining (and I gleefully played it through to the end) are the actions and reactions of the intelligence-challenged duo to the people and objects around them. In fact, Virtual Stupidity is largely unoriginal in its approach to interactive adventures, and even some of the puzzles are secondhand fare. You appropriately control the two half-wits with a simple set of commands, using a mouse-driven interface that looks and operates suspiciously like a LucasArts adventure game. To complete the effect, Viacom New Media borrowed the original voice talent from the series, which creates a very smooth transition from linear to interactive, and in the process one very funny game.Īll you'd expect from the eternally juvenile duo is here: fart jokes, painfully obvious sexual innuendoes, glorification of anything illegal or immoral, and the fruitless pursuit of girlfriends with one-liners such as, "Hey, um, do you like to do, like, stuff?" As with the show, the writers' satirical genius puts these antics into a perspective that makes everything undeniably funny.
In fact, the crudely-drawn stylized artwork of the television series is accurately reproduced on the jagged lines of a computer screen. What's funny is that they don't look any better.
"Parents beware, the two relentlessly infantile voices of a lost generation have made the jump in screen resolution from MTV to your computer. also after you play it check one of the folders with a bunch of very small files in it.there are about 3 nice easter eggs from the developers.you can tell because the files are rather large.GameSpot once again came through with a great (meaning I perfectly agree with) review of this highly underrated, "campy" adventure game: of course now you can probably find it on ebay. my only complaint was this game was everywhere in 1995 when it was released and in less than 5 years was nearly impossible to find.(this was before ebay) so I spent a few years looking for this game before I found it. anyway, the game is great and rather in depth which is surprising as you should suspect a beavis and butthead game to be rather dimwitted. One of my favorite being the scene in prison where they get kyler(the guy sitting on the bench with 'killer' written on his forehead) to go nuts and starts a riot. As well as music videos, and cutscenes that look just like an episode of beavis and butthead. between the sometimes surprisingly complex puzzles there are games where you spit on people, shoot tennis balls at people, burn bugs, and play air guitar. For an adventure game this is perhaps the most entertaining one I have EVER played. First off, I'm a huge fan of beavis and butthead and you really have to be to care for this game.
