Beavis & Butt-head: Virtual Stupidity (PS1) Playthrough [English] - NintendoComplete
0A playthrough of B-Factory's 1998 license-based adventure game for the Sony PlayStation, Beavis & Butt-head: Virtual Stupidity (ビーバス＆バットヘッド ～バーチャル・アホ症候群～).
Virtual Stupidity was originally a Windows 95 game developed by ICOM and published by Viacom back in 1995 (https://youtu.be/INzXO48oh20 ). It was originally slated to see a port to the CD-i, but once it was clear to the bean counters that that was a terrible idea, development was shifted to the PS1.
The excellent PlayStation version was only released in Japan, and the entire game was dubbed over in Japanese. However, someone going by the name of Mr. Nobody over on romhacking.net went to the trouble of replacing the Japanese audio with assets extracted from the original American PC game. His patch is what I'm playing with here. You can find further info at https://www.romhacking.net/translations/6283/ if you'd like to play it this way yourself. The patch isn't perfect - there are a few spot (like the minigames) where you'll still hear a few remnants of the Japanese dub (mostly just laughing), but this now makes for a much easier way to play the game since Windows 95 games tend to be something of a nightmare to get running on modern PCs.
Virtual Stupidity was, in my opinion, one of the best PC adventures of its time, about on par with LucasArts' excellent Full Throttle that came out the same year. It's a point-and-click adventure that focuses on inventory-based puzzles, posed as a sprite-based, movie-length episode of the TV show.
And you know what? It succeeds spectacularly.
The dialogue is all performed by the originated voice actors, the animated cutscenes look like they've been taken directly from the show, and the writing is spot-on.
The puzzles are logical in context but challenging, and if you like GWAR or if you find yourself laughing uncontrollably at the mere suggestion of sexual innuendo, you'll love this. I played it for the first time when I was 13, and I still find it as funny now as I did back then.
