Worst Games Ever - Vietcong: Purple Haze

Fascinating. I played the PC version of Vietcong. As soon at the menu music started I realized it must be the same version (more or less). That song and three others were made for the game in the style of Jimi Hendrix and others from the era. Ashame this games so bad, the PC version was amazing. Shout out to all those who played it, I had the high score so many games because I learned great camping spots wearing the more camo like Vietcong skin, blended great in with bushes! ^_^ I think my ingame name was Assassin X at the time (you know, cause we were all edgy at the time). Also I think the PC scores were something between 7 and 8 out of 10 from many outlets at the time. We really need more Vietnam based games. But most are so bad. Even Battlefiled Vietnam was a let down. I am always partial to that war as a game because of the fact Vietcong loved to bled in with the green of the country. Making them so hard to spot. Often mowing down our soldiers easily sadly. Along side deadly traps they would set, and of course the famous tunnel networks. Makes for great gameplay though if you understand their fighting style.

It's Full Metal Jacket but in a Low Budget, love the thumbnail of Peter and Ben.

I thought the be-wip had a typo calling them Fist Alpha, not First Alpha. But it really is Fist Alpha, what a strange name.

I got to sit down and have a chat with a Vietnam war vet recently. His stories were harrowing.

I haven't played the expansion "Purple Haze" but that Vietcong base game is incredible. One of the most immersive single player military games, especially from this era.

Military rookie mistake. Always check your compass when you’re heading for South Weast in the deepest parts of the jungle!

My dad is dead and in hell, but anytime i want to remember him, I play this game's training course. and then i get PTSD. see you in hell, pops

Coming soon from Game Mill Entertainment: "Viet Kong: Skull Island". Make it happen lads!

As a PC player I don't remember this. Still, I've tried and failed to get Vietcong working from the DVDs I have and wish the GoG team would get it to work.

I remember playing the PC version of this and thinking it was bloody impossible lol

I’ll never understand why there were so many military shooters for this console generation based on Vietnam. This is like the fourth one you’ve played on WGE between Vidiots and TripleJump and the second an old roommate of mine had for his Xbox (the other being Shellshock: Nam ‘67). Even back then I thought it was in poor taste, it’s the rare war even the American media hasn’t tried to glorify in the past 50 years.

I can’t believe DJ Khalid makes an appearance in this game. 21:03

The voice actor just read U.S. Special Forces as Us Special Forces lol 25:00

I love how the first half of this video is one uninterrupted string of insults and profanity...and we are all acting like it's white noise 😂. You could also call this 'riding a bus simulator 2005'

It'll be nice to see them suffer with a little bit of retro nostalgia from the NES / SNES era

I remember playing Vietcong on PC back when it released and enjoying it, that menu music took me back. I may even have finished the campaign, I also played a lot of the multiplayer. The sequel Vietcong 2, now that was proper garbage.

I had this on PS2 I absolutely loved it

That drill instructor is no Hartman is he? 😆

Another hilarious video! 😂

Shame about the first bit of copyright music, I always dug The Stooges
