While many of you might be familiar with the name 'Viacom,' this specific label and its presence in the games industry might not ring some bells. What The Hell Is MTV Club Dead?Ĭlub Dead comes from the oft-forgotten game developer Viacom New Media. I guess you had to 'be there' when multimedia FMV games were all the rage, and some people genuinely thought they would become the future of the video game industry. With Total Distortion and Virtual Nightclub also in copyright limbo, there aren't any good alternatives you can go out and play legally that scratch the same itch as MTV Club Dead. It's a shame, given how bonkers wild this game ends up being. There are FMV cutscenes that use licensed music, and as its title suggests, it uses some parts of the MTV label in it, which I suspect is part of why it has become abandonware.

And for those of you wondering if I ever streamed the game, I didn't because I don't want to pick a fight with Paramount, formally known as Viacom.

As a result, bootstrapping it to DOSBox is more complex than you'd expect, but at least it's not a Windows 3.1x game. As I discussed in my first 'Blogging about Failure' post at the end of 2022, I suspect the game is running Quicktime to play some of its cutscenes and is doing so in the form of a separate executable that runs interlaced with the base game. MTV Club Dead was an absolute chore to play in the year of our Lord, 2023.

Well, that changes today! After a year of tinkering with the game and struggling to think of a way to cover it, I'm finally doing it! As of the publishing of this blog, I have started raising money for the 2023 edition of the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run, and you can feel free to donate whatever you can spare to help me raise money for charity. Sparky, however, has been incredibly patient as I have yet to play MTV Club Dead or even pen an essay on it.

Though I have yet to cover Shanarra or The Longest Journey, I was able to conduct video playthroughs of both on my Twitch and YouTube accounts. I have accomplished most of my donation goals in the past year, even if that does not seem to be the case. He spent a whopping $50 on my donation page and demanded to see me cover the multimedia epic MTV's Club Dead. Almost immediately, the five slots I set at a measly $35 each got snatched up, and one of those donors was Sparky_Buzzsaw, who pounced on the opportunity to make my life miserable.
