Popeye had a game for the nes.

I upvote for Munchausen references. But man, this game does not seem like much fun. I had been curious about it ever since I saw the boxart way back when in ads, but this seems like such a chored emanding constant leaps of faith with obtuse rules that could kill you at any time. Not a fan.

Uuuum... I'm confused. You titled this "a forgotten gem"... But nothing about this video makes this game sound like a gem. You spent most of the video criticizing the game, describing how flawed and generally bad it is, and still saying that it's supposedly good.

Is something from SEGA happening with the Master System? I've been seeing more and more articles on the master system here and there, and that's odd considering how much the system has been left alone up to now.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S SO EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of your golden age reviews.

I loved it as a kid 😂

There is NO logic to this game. None at all. You got further than I think I could have done.

Totally agree with you about all the characters all looking the same. What a massive wasted opportunity!

NEXT GAME MAXIMO FRANCHISE PLS

I had this when I was a kid, great memories 😁 the music was my favourite part, no wonder I grew up to be a total goth, also yes it's one of the hardest games ever I don't think I got very far but I still played it a lot

I have the arcade version with the Taito collection on PS2

Plenty of good arcade ports on the sms. If you know, you know. If you dont you sound uninformed at best.

The snake woman is Medusa. There is a code for unlimited continues. There is FM sound chip compatibility aa well.

We never got this one over here. The graphics look great.

I played this as a kid. Back in those days, most games were punishing like this. If you're used games being easy with a talking tutorial and map, not gonna get it in 1983! You actually do suck at this game. I did better as a 7 year old playing for the 1st time..

NES game devs: OK, we can't disarm the player. Shooting Mega Man bullets is what hooks people. Instead, we have to make invincible enemies that are unpredictable so our game will have impossible difficulty to bloat replay value. Imagine if we made a game that you play for 5 hours, enjoy it and beat it. Who'd want that?

Best game ever as a kid with my best friend just to see how far we get lol...

I don't recall this game... I Did like Pitfall 2 on Atari

It sure beats Ax Battler on the Game Gear, that's for sure.

But now you have to try the Sega Master System version: a totally different approach to making an "HD" version of the original game.

A game with ambition that should have been a classic..... but no one ever played it and it has absolutely zero polish. Veeeeeery shite game

Yeah, I think I'll stay away from that game, thanks!

Don't forget AVGN playing charades with this one. Hilarious! And the perfect death pit.😂

first

It was on the Sega Master System in 1989, and the Game Gear in 1991: never a 16 bit (Genesis / Mega Drive) version.

My impression is that the SNES version has superior gameplay, the Sega version has superior music: am I willing to test or challenge this impression through "empirical methods" and actually try the game? No. No, not at all. I rely on volunteers like yourself to spend long hours "in the lab" so I don't have to. ;-)

John Milus and Stone should have RENAMED him THAT ids NOT the CONAN this IS BASED ON !!!!! Its based on the Comics that were BASED on Bob Howards BLACK HAIRED blued barbarian but EVERY single person on EARTH thinks of this MOVIE and knows NOTHING about the Character tat was Captain o a ship a leader of men and yes a king --- CONANS father and the sword crap is al made up nonsense

Stopping kids from stopping kids from saying first

I immediately thought of starbies girl at the opening, subbed!

I love the series because it gives me a bit of everything: historical ninjutsu sneaking, Japanese jujutsu martial arts, training, and sense of destiny.

It sucked, thought it was weird and boring. driving didnt felt great and generic level design. No fun Mario Kart rip off.

It was the ruthless version of mario kart 😂

A franchise so successful that it only had 1 game.

Remember The Cheese Wars kids? Of course not you weren't born yet. Cheesus Christmas shall rise again.

Street Racer was sort of Proto-DD and Proto-Rocket League rolled into 1.

𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙍𝙖𝙖𝙖𝙖𝙖𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙧!

I have the playstation version and it's even better than the megadrive version. If you like it you should definitely check out the Playstation version

All right! Another fun video. Thanks!

I had this game on the mega drive it was great and a lot of fun with friends . I wish they would bring it to current gen consoles

As much as I like the more action-focused elements of Shenmue, it's the game's coziness that made it one of my favorite games ever. Giving a name and food to a little stray kitty, having a lunch break with the boys after a hard day of forklifting, calling Nozomi to see if she's alright, buying a drink to a homeless man... These are small yet impactful things that games usually don't really focus on, and something Shenmue 2 sadly neglected a little.

Well, that was something!

So I just got the Game Gear cart. It's diff than this but way better. It's not good but it's way better than this lol

Mind reviewing one of my fave games? its very difficult,its nintendo 64's Blast Corps

The guy who coded those rotating levels did a whole video on how it was done over on his Game Hut channel

IT'S SURFIN' TIME!!

Good video! Just played this game. It had the potential to be a good one but...yeah.

Every German now Lügenbaron Münchhausen...there is a syndrome called after him :/

More like butthurtflies amrite!!! Love this game, the SNEs verion is a bit flawed but still a very attractive game to play once in a while.

Thanks to that bonehead journalist, I’ll never trust Wikipedia reviews of 30 year old gameboy games again!
