The first of Digital Pictures' „Make My Video“ line has you „editing“ three of C + C Music Factory's most famous songs - „Gonna Make You Sweat,“ „Things That Make You Go Hmm…“ and „Here We Go Let's Rock & Roll.“ The plot puts you inside the music factory of the game's name, where two linemen sweat and toil under the oppressive thumb of a wheelchair-bound corporate executive. Video discs literally roll down an assembly line while C + C record their sounds behind three closed doors. You are asked to help out in editing these videos, appease the corporate masters, and lift the burden from everyone. The game is played from a panel meant to resemble and act as a non-linear editor. Editing is entirely linear however, as three distinct video „feeds“ run simultaneously along the bottom of the screen. Each is mapped to the A, B, or C button, and pressing one sends that video to master viewer, where it is recorded. The D-pad toggles various effects on and off from a bin in the upper left. One feed will always be of C + C's actual video, with the other two holding appropriate stock footage (like a doorbell timed to appear with the lyrics „Ding dong, who is it?“) The video can not be stopped or rewound once the editing process begins, so the player must quickly route video to the viewer and apply effects within a given amount of time. This allows for editing challenges, where the player must fill specific requests, like having fast cuts or showing no dancers. After a video is edited, the player gets to watch their cut in its entirety. They are then graded by the FMV characters and move to the next song, or try a new edit of the previous one. www.Mobygames.com

A „Make My Video“ title featuring the C & C Music Factory songs „Gonna Make You Sweat“, „Things That Make You Go Hmmm“ and „Here We Go Let's Rock & Roll“. If you've been browsing the other titles in the MMV series you may notice they've all got got practically the same review. That's because they're practically the same game. The title screens are almost identical, and although the front end has a different theme for each game, the gameplay (such as it is) is the same. Three video windows show footage of the group themselves, films, cartoons or other images, and you choose when to insert them into the video. Colour filters and effects can be applied to spice things up, but that's all you can do. Once the song is over you can save your efforts and a character from the introduction will give their opinion of your creation. The video itself is not the best seen on the Mega CD, but can be forgiven as three different streams are filling four windows at all times. Audio is of course CD quality, and there are high quality renditions of all 3 tracks that can be played on a standard CD player. All three titles are technically outstanding when you consider the hardware they're running on, and can be picked up cheaply, but perhaps remain more for fans of the groups or 90s music in general rather than gamers. This game came in a large US-style box. A variation with a vertical blue stripe on the cover and the English only manual T-93035-05 was also released. Two similar titles were released featuring Kris Kross and INXS. www.SEGA-Mega-CD-Library.co.uk
