Wow DC. I started watching your videos as a teenybopper. Now I’m a full grown professional linguist who loves this game. Excited to find you have a playthrough. Cheers! Huzzah!

I am so late to this, but it's wild to me that you had basically full health and full phys shield and that pendulum still just one shots you, no save, no damage, nothin'!

I had to go back and rewatch this series after finally getting to play Ufouria 2. Have you checked it out by chance, DC?

Years ago I watched your Cave Story Let's Play. It's exciting to rediscover your channel and find out that you are still making videos.

You know. My magic cook hole. I can not even. Literally. I can not.🤣

I was looking for a good playthrough of the original MSX style La-Mulana, and I think this is it. Crazy to think how old these videos are. Cheers to you, Deceased Crab, if you somehow end up reading this.

I rented this, thinking it was Secret of Mana 2. It was, a little, but definitely had its own thing going on. I did not beat it over a weekend.

Rewatching this, I suddenly realize: you know what this beautiful atmospheric underground platforming game needs? A bunch of sad bugs! Maybe someone will work on that someday.

Just dropping a M.A.S.K. reference there? I hope Tracker's gonna lead the mission.

Ha ha, blaze it, coin bag!

You can tell a piece of media is made by an American in the 20th or 21st century pretty easily if a monarch raised under monarchy from a long line of monarchs decides out of nowhere at the end of a game/movie/episode to upheave the entire system of government and replace it with democracy. Going from a functioning monarchy to a democracy (especially a direct democracy) is a strict downgrade in terms of efficiency _and_ accountability of government workers. It also eats up time and mental resources of every citizen qualified to vote, as now during every election cycle they need to evaluate the history and policies of every official within their jurisdiction _and_ any local ordnances they need to worry about like spending tax money to build specific government buildings. People raised under centuries of no democratic representation will be overwhelmed by just how much more _outside their existing work and family obligations_ they now need to be concerned with, and these collectives usually don't make better decisions than other forms of government do. Once elections are in place at all, it takes almost no time for _somebody_ to realize he can run on "policies" of raiding the public coffers to bribe a majority of uninformed or cynical voters, raising the taxes on a propaganda-targeted minority to pay for it. This becomes a runaway cycle, especially if you allow people completely mentally unqualified for the democratic process to have a say. It may be "nice" and "kind" to have universal suffrage, but it's suicidal to the nation, the equivalent of letting a child drink out of the cleaning supplies cupboard just because they look colorful and are liquids. Basically this ending is stupid and ominous, but feels good to the politically illiterate middle class of America and their Monarchy Derangement Syndrome.

Your intro lives rent free in my mind, and has for the past 5-10 years

The game was made in 1989. It was *never* the nineties. We were lied to!

I just love when characters with hooves for hands hold things with their hooves when it should be physically impossible. I mean it, it's one of my favorite things to see in comics and animation, hahaha!

I find myself coming back to these old videos time to time. Still some of the most entertaining lets plays on youtube.

Always like this game, its frustrating but satisfying when you get it. Didn't run into many issues either, Terry and those beta testers certainty did a bang-up job.

She why does nobody play the old version like this? Looks better. Looks sharper. And D-Crab hasn't released a video in 3 years. So i guess its truely deceased. Or just enjoying the music too much.

This was a great time, and quite the endeavor for you to overcome! Well done! Thanks as always myriad Crabs! Rest well

Had a great time watching this series :)

This was a fun journey. I hope you decide to do another one, I couldn't wait to see what random game/items would pop up each episode. 😀

What a great ride and satisfying ending. Thanks for doing this series! I really enjoyed it.

If there is a Crab for each letter of the alphabet then I think we might get a good amount more archipelgos. I honestly am thinking about buying some of the games that were shown thay I've never heard of like Timespinner.

Well, this has been a wild ride. I liked how it introduced me to games I never paid any attention to earlier.

Who cut the moon?

On that brisk spring day the gods gave ear to the cries of the people, and and as always a rousing "More DeceasedCrab!" was heard. And so the gods gathered together DeceasedCrabs from across the multiverse, and shared their skill and entertainment with all across the realms. For just a few short weeks the people rejoiced as they were raptured by the joy, skill, and artful complaining of the various forms of their savior; until at last finally it was done. Their work done, the DeceasedCrabs returned to their universe, and the people had gained a new cry: "Again!"

GG, AC! GGs, DC! GG, AC⚡️DC, wherever you are.

BUZZ SAW SHOW TIME CLAP! CLAP!

Great fun. Thanks to all the crabs for their hard work in DC's Multiworld Asynchronous Hellchipelago. Nice that DC could get a break for a few months. Looking forward to whatever shenanigans are up next!

Well, the Async experiment seemed to go pretty well! A fascinating system, certainly.

You did it. I'm all choked up. This has been so much fun. Thank you so much to all the crabs. A winner is you.

Aceased Crab has destroyed the Heart of the Async Hell and Rejoined. Deceased Crab is now whole again.

(11:42) Wow, you have so many relics, you now have to scroll to see them all. (12:34) Alright, it's boss time, vs. the d8 and donut! (16:34) Yep, just casually adding 120 damage worth of Shivs to your hand. (16:40) Flawless victory! (20:42) Spire Shield and Spire Spear defeated without taking damage either! (20:55) Alright, it's final boss of this whole archipelago time, against the Corrupt Heart! (24:55) Wow, 42 damage per Shiv now. Your Shivs are the answer to life, the universe, and everything. :P (26:28) Thanks to Thorns, the heart is about to deal 36 damage to itself, but it doesn't even have 36 HP left, so... GG! (26:35) Victory! And that's game! Congratulations! 10 down, 0 to go! And with that, this entire archipelago is now complete! (27:14) I like how there's a bonus called "C-c-c-combo". (29:40) Yep, I certainly enjoyed watching this entire archipelago series over the past few months alright. (32:13) Whoops, the "...and thank YOU for playing!" appeared prematurely. I'm guessing it didn't account for the additional credits for the Async version.

I will note, as fancy and as cool many of the cards in your deck were, I think you definitely overfilled it and had a lot of cross synergies going on.

Congratz, A->Zeceased! I loved this series, and to see it capped off on a high note with that crazy build was great. And Deceased.... well, I hope they didn't make *too* much of a mess while you were out.

and so, with the four sword back in place, the crabs became crab

Quite a nice run - I'd like to see another Multiworld some other time if you're into it again! One game I've been trying recently that made me think you'd like is Crosscode - a action puzzler RPG with pixel graphics. It's like a mix of Crystalis and maybe Talos Principle. Got that right pace to the game that would go good with your commentary and joy in exploring the fiction/mechanics.

That was one heck of a final boss fight! Turns out my concerns about your blocking were in fact totally unfounded. I'm sad to see the archipelago end, but a girl can't really ask for a better birthday present than nearly three months of daily crab updates like what we used to get back in the day. See you next LP! (Whenever that is - after all this you should definitely take however long of a break you need!)

Hoo boy! What's better than a dead branch "random bulls*** go!!!" ...And you getting that Kunai at the very last moment was a cherry on top! Glad it worked out for you! Congratulations, all you ceasedCrabs! Archipelago is an interesting idea. I'll try to keep it in mind... Not sure if any of the currently available games speak to me in the multiworld sense. But maybe someday! Edit: Holy flips, Aquaria is on the list now?! Oh... Wow, that's awesome, I love that one! I wonder how it really plays in archipelago. Intriguing!

This was really cool to see. I previously had no idea that something like Archipelago was possible, and holy cow was it entertaining. Not only that, you were on fire with the jokes this series.

Welcome back DC! GG to AC, BC, CC, FC, HC, LC, MC, TC, VC and ZC for playing!

This was a great time. Thank you so much for showing off archipelago, it is beyond anything I thought possible.

Victory for Aeceased Crab! Victory for all Crab kind! Enjoy your walk AC, you've earned it.

Thank you and your fellow crabs for all your time and effort doing this! It was a very fun and entertaining journey!

GG, this was pretty cool!

This is getting more and more fun to watch as you gleefully shred through your foes with all the Shivs and stuff.

"Storm of Steel is so good! I need to upgrade that!" Almost never plays storm of steel...

Doing 201 damage to a boss, in one hand. One-turning three enemies with a combined 152hp. Laughs, indeed.

Oh... wow... With all those Shivs, and you got a Dead Branch? It's PURE CHAOS, goodness gracious!

Love the Batman reference in the title. This seems kind of broken as long as you are careful with your health and don't focus just on damage. Even the smallest amounts of damage will start to add up over time. Long live the Crab!

BAH GAWD, ACESEASED WITH THE STEEL KNIVES
