So I was organizing my PC game recent acquisitions the other day
and ran across a game sent to me by a viewer of mine named Charles.
He sent me this right here, this is Red Baron II. Developed by Dynamix and published by Sierra Online in 1997
and while I was admiring this lovely box art
I happen to notice this sticker...
"Red Baron premium pizza coupon inside"
Well that's an interesting promotion!
So I opened the box
and took a look at the contents and amongst all the normal kind of pack in stuff that you got in these games back then
I found it!
Oooh "Capture the flavor of a legend for less"
Save 75 cents on any variety of Red Baron 12 inch pizza
But then I looked at the top here and see manufacturer's coupon "No Expiration Date"
No...expiration date!
You know what that means!
We're going to get ourselves a Red Baron 12 inch pizza today that is applicable with a coupon from a 17 year old big box PC game from Sierra.
Yeah...
That's what we're doing...
because Lazy Game Reviews
We're not just reviewing games anymore, we're..uh..giving consumer advice
and one of these is
getting old games on ebay or from other collectors
and getting discount pizza
We're going to bring it home and cook it and see what 17 year old pizza tastes like
*Laughing*
Okay so it's probably not going to be 17 years old
at least I hope not, my grocery stores around here aren't that crappy
but...uh...Yeah!
Let's do a little bit of investigative first person journalism
or....something
and...uh see what we get.
I can't wait!
Oh yes! We're gonna get some pizza!
and it's gonna be
cheap.....er than it....normally is...sort of
75 cents...WOOO!
Food lion
The lion of foods
Ah
Pizza!
any variety of......12 inch pizza
well this is an important choice
you are the chosen one
classic pepperoni
Cashier: "How're you
Doing alright
I actually have a coupon to use
on that if it's okay
Uh
*Beep*
Cashier: "$2.91"
Wow that was it?
*laughing*
That coupon was 17 years old...
Cashier: "Wow.."
*laughing*
Sweet!
Man in line: "For real?"
For real! Yeah you want to take a look at it?
Man in line: "17 years old?"
yeah lo...look at the date on it if you can still get it?
I was curious to see if that would actually work...
and look on the bottom left there you see 1997
Cashier: "Wow yeah it says on it no expiration date"
*laughing*
I know! I found it recently, I'm like "well I wonder....."
and you know..
I know right?
it's amazing!
Cashier: "how about that?"
well thank you
Cashier: "you're welcome"
made my day
I'm going to enjoy this pizza!
Ha Ha!
Oh that is fantastic
It's glorious!
and that guy was
at least as happy as me if not more so!
I almost want to give him the pizza now but
This is MY Red Baron!
We're gonna go home and cook it!
Well I don't know about you but I'm friiken hungery!
so let eat this thing!
well me eat this thing
you can watch
uh we're going to pre-heat the oven
to...uh..400 degrees
That's good
Oh yes
It's happening
Oh
Now that's a pizza!
for like three bucks
Yeah that high quality cellophane
keeping in the flavor for
17 years
alright
mmm
aah...welp
I guess we'll wait for it to heat up
and...uh..
cook and stuff!
But while it is
why don't we go ahead and take a look at the game?
that this was actually from
Red Baron II
Red Baron II is the sequal to
Red Baron 1
naturally...
and like the first game it's a flight simulator
with a bit less emphasis on insanely realistic
passenger plane simulation
and more of an emphasis on fun aerial dog fighting
mostly it's just an update to the original
but with improved graphics
more realistic flight models
smarter A.I.
40 unique aircraft
and a much larger game world
at least that was the idea...the original released
so the game turned out to be a rather
buggy affair
with all sorts of problems
that plagued every aspect
of gameplay
there were copious patches released
to fix the game including one that included
3D acceleration and better multiplayer
and it was released in 1998
as Red Baron 3D
it's legacy continues to this day
with a small but dedicated fan base
making new content for it
and sometimes buying pizza for 75 cents off
*sniff*
mmMMmm
speaking of pizza, let's go and check it!
*gasp*
it's time!
oh yeah!
not bad at all!
that
looks like a Red Baron pizza alright
*laughs*
what a journey this has been
who knew that classic PC game collecting
could get you pizza?
Well now you do!
*Nom*
mmm
you know?
*Nomming continues*
I just realized this whole video
probably will look like a big ad for
a Red Baron pizza
but...uh..
I promise it wasn't
I just found this
incredibly interesting
and had to
do it
so...uh...yes thank you for watching me
on my pizza couponing excursion
