Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
879A playthrough of Playmates Interactive Entertainment's 1997 point-and-click graphic adventure for PCs running Windows 95, Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick.
Much a game in the same vein as Ace Ventura, Beavis & Butthead: Virtual Stupidity, and Beavis & Butthead Do U (the last of which shares a developer and an its engine with Duckman), Duckman was an incredibly limited release. Playmates pulled the plug on the US release at the last minute, despite an super-marketable list of voice actors. While it's missing Jason Alexander, it still has Gregg Berger, Nancy Travis, Pat Musick, Dweezil Zappa, E. G. Daily and Tim Curry all in their original roles, and Tommy Tallarico did the music.
Duckman starts with the eyeless duck losing his leading role in his TV show and conspires to uncover a sinister plot at Paramount. Whatever. It doesn't matter since the plot is little more than a delivery vehicle for some spectacularly tasteless and genuinely funny jokes. It's VERY adult, so don't show this to your 5-year-old.
Not that they would understand much, anyway. Half of the jokes rely on a fairly thorough awareness of mid-late 90s American pop culture. I mean, there's a reference to Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, if that tells you anything. However, they're all still funny and mysteriously not stale for being so outdated.
Make sure to check out the scene at Fluffy and Uranus's house. God, it's so dark and sadistic. It's comic gold, I tell you!
