Brain Dead 13 (PS1) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthrough of Readysoft's 1996 animated interactive movie for the Sony PlayStation, Brain Dead 13.

Brain Dead 13 is a pretty fantastic 90s homage to the 80s Laserdisc classics like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. It might not be the work of Don Bluth and co., but it's an impressive effort nonetheless. It's colorful, extremely well animated, loaded with hilarious and violent humor, and it easily exceeds the standard Saturday morning cartoon in its production values.

It's also the sort of game that just screams, "It's Halloween, play me!"

The game was released on several platforms, but the PlayStation version was the only version to ship on two discs instead of one. While doing this imposes some rather annoying and frequent disc swap screens, the PS1 game features better quality video with fewer visible compression artifacts than the other versions, in addition to dramatically improved sound quality. The voices are all crystal clear.

But when I say it's violent, I mean it's violent. As in, a Teen rating would have been pretty unlikely back in the day if the review board actually bothered to look at the content in the game. A true credit to those moral crusaders, though, this title received the K-A rating.

I didn't die in this playthrough. It's a clean, beginning to end run with no mistakes (which taxed my patience to no end since the gameplay is 100% trial-and-error), but if you'd like to see the all the ludicrously graphic ways in which Lance may lose his life, check out this compilation I put together:    • Brain Dead 13: Fail Scene Collection ...
