Longplay Skate or Die - Bad 'n Rad (Game Boy)

[@RoastTheCritics]

Watching this after playing it hundreds of times almost 30 years ago still raises my heart rate because it was a pretty tough game, lol

[@animecity9678]

Yea u said it, good thing my gameboy was durable and sturdy lol

[@milan51259]

Started it on my Anberneic RG351P. Game over after not even 2 minutes. Wasted my childhood on beating this game. Thank god nobody is forcing me to play this game again.

[@Jonathondelemos]

Yeah, I remember playing this game at six or seven years old. Literally didn’t stand a chance. Controlling your speed was basically impossible and enemies seemed to move faster depending on how fast you moved. Forget about jumping gaps. You’re going to fall more than fifty percent of the time, that’s just a fact.

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

This is essentially Tony Hawk, but as an action platformer type game.

[@horstkevin5664]

never beated it as a kid

[@scottg4520]

I remember playing this in 93. This game felt impossible to beat.

[@GaldirEonai]

I gave up at stage 6.

[@DMGaina]

When I was a kid, I never bothered beating it. I was just playing Level 2 and 4 over and over again because they were so much fun to play.

[@mau5083]

I beat it

[@MedalionDS9]

@@mau5083 me too

[@allnamesaretakenful]

I had it or borrowed from a friend and I'm so mad that I put so many hours into such a shitty game. I never made it past level 3 or 4 despite how much I played it.

[@TAYLORBALL5]

The music in this game is amazing! Along with some serious killer gameplay, somebody put some serious time into this one!! What a fantastic game.

[@elbuddy2094]

TAYLORBALL5 good ol konami

[@MisterSofty]

Konami music of the era was top tier

[@walesu.k.2108]

This is still better than a lot of games today

[@Pthallo]

Holy crap, it's all coming back to me. The tantrums, the frustration, and playing the 4th level over and over again just to get the cool music at 7:29 to time up with the rolling cylinder. I just thought that was the coolest thing ever haha :D

[@magic4496]

Me too!

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

I finished this game back in 2018. It was one of the toughest games I ever played.

[@RickyIcecubes]

Some of the best Game Boy music ever.

[@vincentl6972]

Played this game so much as a kid. A classic. Gameplay and music are awesome

[@CantStopTheRaj]

I found this game earlier this year and it is now one of my favorite games of all time! I loved it so much that I started speedrunning it on my Twitch channel, getting my time to 15:55 in July. Game is hard but is so worth the investment. BAD N RAD BABY!

[@Astabasta69]

After endless hours of practicing I was able to beat this game flawless. It was in 1993. I still love this game today. Great memories

[@kayhaich]

You brought back some trauma but some renewed love for the soundtrack

[@Joe_334]

And in the end, that skateboard in the dungeon keep, was never heard from again...

[@fightingviking7968]

I used to looooove this game!!! It's got everything a good desingned and balanced game had to have back then. And the music in the first level is just epic!!!

[@jessicalarsen4546]

I was so hooked on that game back in the day, it really was a great game.

[@animecity9678]

I found this game in my dads old stuff from when he was a kid back when I was 8, and I used to play it all the time, man does this bring back memories🥺

[@walesu.k.2108]

I was very fortunate to have a Gameboy for Christmas when I was a kid - On that special day I had this Game and Tetris included with Gameboy - I played this Game all day every day! Such Great Memories ❤️🙂

[@dallows3235]

I love that ending credit roll. The music, the atmosphere and the simple animation as our my main man rescues his skater girlfriend after that ludicrous adventure!👌🏻

[@JRMAV1]

Kid: But mom I want Tony Hawk Pro Skater! Mom: We have Tony Hawk at home. Tony Hawk at home:

[@Alucard9692010]

i remember this game giving me horrible anxiety when playing it .... especially the spike level.

[@johnnydee6818]

What a neighborhood

[@MrZillas]

As a kid I tried to jump on the clown. It took a while until I knew what to do. The boss that hangs on the rings and the diver are still scary. And this jump on that rope, my god, that damn rope. Still a mix of badass and creepy as hell.

[@BrandonNielsen87]

Played this as an adult for the first time. It’s actually a really fun game. It looks more vivid and clear in GBA.

[@johncrawford5449]

Holy shit this brings back memories of my ten year old self trying over and over trying to memorize the patterns. Well done

[@supermario9520]

Was able to beat the game as a Kid. Today not so much. Seeing this, all the memories coming back. The awesome music. The hard gameplay and finally to master it with practice.

[@PlayerPunk6]

why do timers in video games always count down way faster than real life?

[@MedalionDS9]

Extremely nostalgic... I played this game a crazy amount back in the day

[@metamorphicblood]

Well, he saved her but they forgot her skateboard! I guess…?

[@the_terrorizer]

My uncle gave me his gameboy on like 1999/2000 along with this game and a couple others, I was like 8. I played this before school for like 2 years and never beat it lmao.

[@TheTunox]

Meine Fresse, ich hab's bestimmt 50 mal probiert das Ding durch zu spielen, immer bei dem Hubschrauberlevel gescheitert. Und mich zu Tode geärgert. Danke das ich einmal sehen durfte, was zum Ende hin passiert und wer der Endgegner ist. Eigentlich alles ziemlich billig und easy, aber ich erinnere mich an den Klabautermann mit seinem Messern, der hat mich Nerven und ordentlich Gemecker gekostet 😁

[@niwatorimeat]

I remember owning a guide book for this game despite not owning the game. Feels great to actually see the game in action!

[@DIY_Miracle]

Was that part of Nintendo Power or something?

[@niwatorimeat]

@@DIY_Miracle It was an unofficial guide book/cheat book that complied guides/cheats for many GB games. I remember the book cover being blue, and had a cat surfing while playing on his Gameboy.

[@DIY_Miracle]

@@niwatorimeat That's killer :) I was a preteen during the Myspace peak so only caught the tail end of the mysticism around classic games

[@BlueFlame_l.o.g]

Wow wat a childhood memory 😇💙

[@thibautb2812]

2:06 this song is memories

[@MultiDoubledutch]

This game was so hard in the 90s. And now, 30 years later I see the endscreen. Amazing. I could never have beaten it...already level 4 felt so hard to me :-)

[@doktor_faust]

Sound and effect wise it remembers me like the perfect mixture of paper boy and castlevania 2 :D

[@ketchcoreyvideos]

Lol.. someone's demented vision of a skaters hell. Should be called "Skater Died off to hell"

[@egkaitouni]

I use to be addicted to this game.... Waow the memories

[@silverbeach85]

I feel like on a Time Machine from 2021 to 1993 to just let you know it looked a very cool game!

[@JaceyMitchell]

A game that had some great ideas. Execution was far from perfect, but you've got to admire how someone made a game boy game that was so weird and different

[@trinablackcubanjimenez9491]

First game boy game I ever had I love it

[@bigfoot5185]

94 wow 27 year It was good game still on my ears my favorite that time still own game

[@kmvoss]

I remember making it to stage 7 as 6 year old me. I remember the boss on stage 6 gave me a lot of trouble. Actually everything in the game gave me trouble, I was just determined. :)

[@shkedov.b]

One of the hardest games I have ever encountered, the response of the controls is so non intuitive, I never made past stage 5 as a kid

[@clkclk2240]

Back in the 90s🙂🙂🙂this Game was fantastic

[@raakone]

I can tell you are somewhere in Europe or the UK because of the name of the company (PALCOM, had you been in North America it would have said ULTRA or Konami, not sure who officially "published" it in North America) Nice playthrough, read about this in Nintendo Power eons ago. If this seems devoid of a plot, maybe it's because Konami was just piggybacking something onto a property originally not related to any kind of a "plot", really.....the original game, by EA (back then EOA), was just a bunch of skateboarding events. And for the two 2-player events, if you didn't have a partner, you could get a computer controlled opponent, typically Lester, son of the owner of the skate shop. I had that on the Commodore 64. For this "sequel", they put some kind of plot, but a thin one...and Lester has gone from being a mohawked skateboard-punk to being either the scuba guy or the ninja (not sure which) who's a henchman of "El Rad", who looks like a pimp in a flying throne. Also, the name of the girl, from what I read, is "Miss Aerial" Not making this up. And Konami seemed to really have a thing for elevator sequences in the 8 and 16 bit eras (see: Simpsons arcade, Super C, Operation C, TMNT II: Back from the Sewers, SNES version of Turtles in Time)....(and start of the 32 bit, see Metal Gear Solid 1)

[@Buster_Flex]

raakone Well I just used the european rom of the game ;)

[@MrFalcon-pd7ow]

Omg i used to love this game so much for the gameboy

[@sikitrakix]

That intro... took forever ugh! I hated it when I was a kid!

[@6reen6rud6e2]

I kept get killed..when i played it in the 2nd grade..so i never knew how awesome it was..

[@dragonboypayne21]

Finally found the this game. It's where I learned the word rad lol

[@lalalei2001]

Does ducking while moving forward help with momentum at all?

[@johnny19817]

I remember playing this game and reach the 5th stage. The music is great but it's damn hard to control the guy on the skateboard the way you like all the time.

[@TwesomE]

From those games that even though was really bad made combined with the hard as hell levels you wanted to continue playing to see what's on the other side.I remember some times for instance trying jump to those balls that the clown boss throw and hitting me,while other times not.When you thought you get the hang of it it steals you in the cheapest freaking way but i have really good memories out of it instead hate it the most.They should remake this one i believe fixing its problems also as well,it was from those games that should be have a really big cult following close to a B movie we never saw.Wow this would be a really cheese and over the top movie as well i imagine speaking of it right now!

[@fmaillot]

This game ! i was young... WE WERE young... :) and we were good... :p

[@AmBROSGames]

There was a similar game on the Gameboy Advanced that played like this .. I forgot the name of it but I do remember that it had the instrumental for Jump Around by House of Pain playing for some levels.. does anyone know what i'm talking about?

[@NinjaContravaniaManX]

This game and Police Academy 4 are the reasons I started skating. Konami was the best!

[@andib.28]

Zuerstmal Danke für dieses schöne Stück Nostalgie 😊👍🏽. Aber ich hab da eine Frage und zwar ich habe noch nie ein Video gemacht und frage mich, wie du das GameBoy-Bild als Video veröffentlichen kannst. Wie funktioniert sowas?😳 Sorry ich bin ein 100% Noob bei sowas aber es interessiert mich brennend😊

Wurde mit nem Emulator gespielt und mit Screen capture software

[@DIY_Miracle]

I was born in the late 90's, this was one of my first games. I could never beat this! Got close many times but my cartridge died before I could sadly. Still love how Mad Max it feels. The juggler could be straight out of Lord Humungus' army

[@shaunsmith9526]

This game used to frustrate me so much growing up 😂

[@Gruenhaupt]

This game is so hard. Can you win it without learning the obstacles by rote? I don‘t think so!

[@animecity9678]

4:53 those things used to keep me up all night, good times😊

[@Superku]

Looks like I never made it halfway into the game when I played this as a kid, it was so difficult, absolutely impossible!!

Gotta love the doom nod

So much better than skate or die 2

Ahhhh the frustration...I hated this game and couldnt stop playing...

My brother and I got to the final boss and never beat him. We eventually completely gave up on this game. We even prayed to God for power to kill the boss. Good times.

This is suffer the children!!!

[@KingJKickz]

This just goes to show that as a kid you really don't know anyting I'm watching a playthrough and it's only about 30 minutes long It seemed like it took 30 mins to beat the first stage at 7 in 94

[@derlaurenz]

THIS WAS ... SOOOO HARD !!!! XD XD XD

[@19AGJ86]

This is the most cheating game in the world.

[@123TauruZ321]

This is a good game. I remember beating it about 5-6 times in one sitting. You take more damage every time you finish it... in the end, you can't get hit once. It becomes too difficult.

[@123TauruZ321]

You definitely are a little rusty ^^ But at least you did it.
