Transcript

{A live-action case filled with 5 inch floppies sits on a desk next to an old computer. The disk in the front has a handwritten label reading "Disk 4 of 12". Strong Bad's gloves reach into the shot, open the case and begin rifling through the contents.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} When I check my email,

{Strong Bad holds up a disk labeled "Old Game".}

STRONG BAD: —there are some old games.

{Strong Bad inserts the disk into a disk drive and then types on a keyboard with boxing gloves on.}

STRONG BAD: Now I'm gonna play them for you.

{The monitor comes to life, showing a screen reading "Strong Bad's Disk 4 of 12". A disk reading noise plays.}

{Fade into a shot of Strong Bad's desk, zooming in on the container of floppy disks, the frontmost one reading "world games".}

STRONG BAD: OK, This episode's game comes from sbemail number 70: big white face. And this game, oh man, It's the greatest game! I am of course talking about, World Games, aka the game where Epyx...

{Cut to a photo collage of Epyx game box arts including Pitstop II, Summer Games, Summer Games II, Robots of Dawn, Temple of Apshai, Gateway to Apshai and Winter Games. While Strong Bad is speaking, the collage scrolls to the top left of the screen, revealing more games as it scrolls.}

STRONG BAD: ...ignored their awesome neon box art style guide.

{The photo collage stops, and the cover of World Games pops on screen with a splat sound effect accompanying it, the music stops as well.}

STRONG BAD: For some reason...

{As Strong Bad says this, the cover zooms in slightly.}

STRONG BAD: Also, also known as, {music starts} a game I legitimately thought was about giant continent sized bull riders, fighting giant continent sized sumo wrestlers, fighting giant continent sized speedo men.

{While Strong Bad speaks, the individual parts of the cover he is talking about get zoomed in upon when he mentions them. Then it cuts back to the container of floppy disks.}

STRONG BAD: But hey, till that game exists, let's play this one! Please insert Disk 4 of 12.

{A disk reading sound is heard, then it cuts to the title screen for World Games, where a gargaly pc speaker tune plays for a couple of seconds.}

STRONG BAD: BLAH! Jeez! Notes, chords, melodies! That's supposed to be the title... music? Sounds more like a sonic weapon. Why is it gargling at me? {imitating the title music} WOoOoRLD GAaAa- {unintelligible} -AaMmes- {unintelligible} -OoOrld Ga- {unintelligible} -Aaames.

{Cuts to the main menu, with 7 options.}

STRONG BAD: Phew... Sweet silence. All right, what have we got here. Compete in all, some, one event. Let's compete in one event at a time, juust in case this game actually sucks. And sound settings... On? I guess? I'm taking a risk here... In case they hit me with more gargles. Include Travelogue? Oooo! Sounds, cosmopoli-tan, I'll do it!

{Cuts to the country selection screen, with the USA, France, Great Britan, the U.S.S.R, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Netherlands, and Epyx}

STRONG BAD: Oooo! Enter your name, I gotta go with the number one world athletic champion, Loadpast. Loadpast pick your country! I see the very current nations of, U.S.S.R.

{The screen scrolls to the right, revealing West Germany, Spain, Norway, Austria, Denmark and Ireland.}

STRONG BAD: And West Germany. And what is that {screen scrolls back to the left.} jumbled mess on the Epyx flag, is that supposed to be their Thinking Man logo? {The Thinking Man fades out from the flag} Looks more like one of them, {The Thinking Man fades back into the flag.} Sierra, King Graham {A wolf appears from the top of the screen and walks to the Epyx flag.} getting mauled by a wolf clouds. {The wolf turns into the aforementioned clouds} Know what I'm talking about? Anyways, I wish Loadpast could be from Strong Badia...

{The screen scrolls to the right again, revealing Italy, Australia, Brazil, and also Strong Badia where Ireland was. The Strong Badia anthem in PC Speaker form plays.}

STRONG BAD: There we go!

{Cuts to a "Is This Correct?" screen.}

STRONG BAD: Is This Correct? Loadpast from SBAAA. Yes!
