Do you need to program a game around it if you have that ability, first of all? I think being able to convert matter from physical to virtual reality with a laser beam is worth a Nobel in and of itself, without building a corny platformer as a medium for it. While the duo programming the game does actually do some programming, it seems that a large part of their schtick is their Tron-ifying ability. Taking this tack with a science-y premise instead feels weird, and especially so because of how plot-hole-ridden the setup is. You know, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, the Loch Ness monster. While all Scooby-Doo movies have some element of nonsense to them, something that forces you to suspend disbelief, it’s usually something from the realm of fantasy. As it turns out, their game dev friend based part of the game on Mystery, Inc.’s adventures, and they end up facing some of their most classic villains before they are able to overcome the Virus, find out who programmed it, and save the day.Īside from being immediately boggled by just how 2000s this movie is-it came out in 2001, fyi-the somewhat related thing that astonished me was how wacky the science is. To escape, they have to beat all ten levels and defeat the Virus, or be doomed to be stuck in the game forever. Using the magical transmogrifier, the Virus manages to zap the whole team into the game. This Phantom Virus threatens their ability to launch the game and win a prize for breaking physics, so Scoob and the gang get down to business figuring out what happened.ĮXTERMIN-I mean what? (via scoobynetworkcenter) to arrive, the game is sabotaged by a mysterious hacker who sets loose a sentient, humanoid computer virus (because again, this is the most 2000s movie ever). Of course, just in time for Mystery, Inc. Because this is the most 2000s movie ever, game devs wear lab coats, work in experimental university labs, and use magical Dalek-shaped machines to break the law of conservation of mass by transporting real-world objects into their game world. I have to say, upon rewatching, I found myself both amused and bemused, but never quite engaged enough to make this a fave like Zombie Island.Ĭyber Chase starts with the gang heading to visit an old college buddy who’s now a game designer. ![]() So it was with almost fresh eyes that I turned back to this particular title in my teensy VHS collection. It’s been ages since I’d watched the movie, so much so that it’s possible that I’ve played the PS1 game based on it more recently than I’ve seen it. In my grand tradition of rewatching old Scooby-Doo movies for this column, I sat down this week with yet another Saika family fave: Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase.
