Virtual Stupidity was originally a Windows 95 game developed by ICOM and published by Viacom back in 1995 ( • Beavis and Butthead: Virtual Stupidit... ). 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 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.

Always found it interesting they kept making Beavis and Butthead games all throughout the late 90s despite the show ending in 97
-
This is just as good as watching they're actual full length movies
-
Crash Bandicoot: PEEK A BOO!!! (Laughs) Mei Lee (Red Panda): AAAAAH!!! YOU PERVERT!!! GET OUT!!!! (Hits Crash Bandicoot on the side of his face.)

Apologies for the repost. At some point after I published it the original video started freezing about half-way through, so here is a brand new encode to fix the issue. Fingers crossed.
-
I watched Beavis & Butt-head on MTV when I was a teenager. I know this Playstation version well and will make a video on it too.

Lmao! dude, I love the part where they just walk up to the dorky kid guarding the bear, without saying a word, and beavis just wipes a booger on the kid, he runs away while they laugh lmfao
-
The Speed Racer reference at @6:30 cracked me up good. I loved that show as a kid.

I'm very surprised, I had no idea that someone convert this all into English! I played this game quite a lot on PC, and was aware of the psx version in Japanese. Now you get The full experience on PlayStation in mike judge English! Now I totally got to try this out!

Holy Shit thanks for making me aware of this. I spent awhile online looking for an English patch about a year ago with no luck. Nice to see its finally available.

This was a great game.

-
I'm very surprised that the PS1 port is Japan-only despite the game being based on the American-Animated sitcom of the same name
-
I can tell there were some licensing rights block with the use of AC⚡DC and Metallica shirt logos at the time for video game sales.🤑
