  This game is actually the canonical representation of the Jurassic Park scientists creating fresh dino DNA. These are failed attempts that weren't compatible

  For me, the biggest surprise of this whole video was learning the folk behind Ballz made Petz/Dogz. I would never have put that together on my own, seriously.

  The first boss, the ostrich (who&apos;s a female ostrich named Guggler, by the way), is the easiest first boss in video game history. Let me tell you why. In this game, taunting acts as a damage multiplier. In order to win easily, go away from her and wait for her to plunge her head in the ground. She won&apos;t do anything at all to you unless you do something to cause her damage. Then you taunt, which can be triggered by pressing all three action buttons simultaneously, as much as you can. I recommend doing it at least ten times. You then go up and do any attack you want. <br><br>Instant death. You win.

  In the words of the AVGN or at least a hypothetical quote of his. &quot;I&apos;d rather play with my own balls than play Ballz 3D!&quot;

  It just hit me that SEGA goofed and miss having a cross promotion for Vectorman in this game.

  the fact that this video wasn&apos;t sponsored by Manscaped will remain one of the greatest failures in history.

  I love dumb stuff like this, it’s quite technically impressive given that it actually controls in a 3D apace and the way the characters are drawn using spheres is really cool. It’s just really fascinating seeing a 3D fighter recreated in 2D. The Ball aesthetic wasn’t to simplify the sprites to make it capable of running on the weak hardware, it was because it made it much easier to draw the characters with a convincing 3D effect, it was a common tactic back then for 3D effects.

  I&apos;ve heard back then the PF stands for &quot;Pure F*cking&quot;. So, it would be &quot;Pure F*cking Magic&quot;.<br><br>Also, you should try MsDOS &quot;Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport&quot;. It&apos;s really REALLY awful.

  As soon as I saw this I was like &quot;didn&apos;t that company make Dogz and Catz?&quot; The original Petz games STILL have a cult following where people mod it and add their own species of animals, items and locations. And because of how the mechanics work, you can breed them together and make complete abominations. Still a really fun little game.

  As a kid, i had a cd with hundreds of sega genesis games, so all the files had the name of the game written without spaces obviously, so when i saw &quot;ballz&quot; i read it as &quot;Ball Z&quot; and tough it was a dragon ball game. Never been so dissapointed, lol.

  I&apos;ve been waiting for this one. I rented this as a child and quickly learned the move that let you steal a bodypart/ball from your opponent until they were hobbling around helplessly.<br><br>Edit: HOLY CRAP DID THEY MAKE &quot;DOGZ&quot; TOO?! I had that as well!
