I definitely learned something new watching this. I've beaten it a few times and I didn't realize you could control which stages you went to by picking eggs.

Do you realize when people start finding out you have these highly detailed playthroughs, that they'll become a standard to come watch for those wanting to 100% classic games. Each one of these videos is going to absorb more and more steady watches as you go. It'll be fun to see how many views they have in 5...10...20 years from now. Cheers.

Same here. I've never seen this particular game but gave an upvote after 5mins, his Dragon Warrior (am still confused on those names and games) and the Secret of Manna runs are the stuff of legends. A hero. I went through the same whole thing and really meant a lot growing up. Such fond memories of family size twizzlers and hostess cup cakes, 2 liters of coca cola. Those are the days I miss.

Had to go to my moms every other weekend growing up which was rarely a pleasant experience and this along with Pinball's Quest and Fantasy Zone were the only games I had there. I remember playing this for hours on end and was the first game I really ever tried speed running, trying to create the best routes both in which levels to go to and in the levels themselves. Of course I didn't know what speed running was at the time and was just trying to make a game I beat several times already less boring, so it's kinda cool that I can trace my love of speed running back to this game specifically! Also did anyone else think the Water Dino looked like they're wearing sunglasses growing up?

I think I rented this, or maybe I had a friend who rented it, when we were kids. We couldn't get very far, because of how easy it is to lose one of those dinos the game is built around you having. This game takes a TON of practice to get far into, let alone finish, and while I'm glad videos like this exist, I don't think I'm going to go back and try to master it myself now that I'm an extremely old man.

You missed something in island 2 boss. There are two benefits of you get to the boss with the swimming dinosaur. 1. If you get stuck in a bubble the dinosaur will swim over and release you. 2. The crab will sometimes shoot at the dinosaur instead of at you.

Just a few things to add: On to the 3rd island, if you go to the boss with a red or blue dino you can jump on the platforms above and the dino will not sink into the quick sand also since it attacks with you and is immune to damage and may tank a hit from the boss you can just use the dino while hobering on the platforms to hit the boss making it the easiest boss in the game, because dinos can't be hurt in boss rooms, exceptions in world 2 if you make it to the boss with a blue flying or red dino (for which you need to die to the boss in the original boss level) then you lose it, but on the 6th boss the dino will fall but you will not lose it, it will just go back to your inventory. Also every boss room will have an axe if you get there without one. If you finish a level without an axe or dino you will get bonus points, the sea urchins those weird blue things in the ifnal level and I think the fire breathing snakes will not fire at you if you don't have an axe equipt. Lastly the last level can also be beaten with the flying dino but you need to be nearly pixel perfect flying between the water and the blue things on the ceiling.
