Dragon's Lair [NES] :: SPEED RUN (

[@ALWTunes]

I can't even imagine how many hours it took to master this to this degree. Most impressive

[@alexmcbrayer9755]

ALWTunes I was able to get to the last level after two weeks of no shit 3-6 hours a day just playing it. ...and yet, I still never beat the last level. So I can’t even imagine how long it must have taken.

I'm the 69th like of this comment.😏

[@PapaKennMedia]

Not going to lie. I'm stunned. The fact that anyone beat this game, let alone SPEED RAN it, is phenomenal!

[@almasysephirot4996]

Seriously, I hated this game it was so counter intuitive to control and all-in-all shitty, never got past the second level

[@speedymatt1236]

Quick question, why is there a high score of 89999 points when this speed runner has 12830?

[@cantaloupeme]

This game has a second level?????

Speedrun. When I saw that on my search results I thought I was dead. But nope here it is.

[@thecombinearecoming]

the theme for the final stage is cool. too bad nobody was ever able to hear it.

[@stt5v2002]

If there are more than 5 people in the world who beat this game during the pre internet era, I'd be shocked. I played this and dark souls. Dragons lair was about a million x tougher and not in a good way.

[@speedymatt1236]

There’s probably about 500-5000 people or smth that beat it. Just a reasonable guess. But the real question is, how many people got 90,000 points?

[@roumingarvida8767]

I can also finish the game in 5 minutes, only just my character turns into a skeleton.

[@C2-J0]

you just effortlessly took a massive shit on all my childhood rage.

Killer chromatic diminished 7 riff at 1:28....use .25 speed playback to learn it! Even better arpeggios at 6:20 ! Wow

[@Doommaster1994]

That was a common thing with European developers.

[@hektorlinko]

As always this video is amazing! I can't even get past the first entrance of the game. Even saw AVGN's video. The music is awesome though. Just wish I can play it. lol I'll probably use a Game Genie if it works. Great video brother! A+++

[@ottoneiii4353]

no codes for game genie, my sad childhood

Dude just casually strolls on through, not a care in the world.

[@Undefined9]

If I bought this for $64.99 back in the day, or even played it, and then saw this speedrun of some guy beating it in under 7 minutes, I would probably yell so loud that the cosmos would crack.

That was a great episode! That bridge pissed him off so bad! LOL.

[@MrAddition1]

First you grind to 99 in the reactor. Then you and Acro work on taking Ruby out with no control on Red. Now you have an amazing speed run on one of the most difficult NES games I have ever tried. Is there anything you can't do?

[@momom6197]

This game looks pretty fun! I should try playing it too!

[@sancoos]

Nintendo da onyadığım en zor oyunlardı. Daha ilk bossu bile görememiştim. Bu kadar kolay bölüm geçtiğine aldanmayın. Gerçekten çok zor bir onyanışı vardı.

[@MrMario65]

so on the elevator sequences or whatever.. does it matter which one you get off at like alternate paths?

[@Hoouroboros]

In this game you actually need to take the good order else you either, go back in a level you did before or (if you take the last one...) be stuck in a room where you have to fight a reaper that is almost impossible to kill!(Only to get points for the highscore that disapear after you close the console...) So yes, it matter which "stop" you take...But what's worst is that if you miss your "stop" you'll be forced to go to the reaper's room...cause it's not going up.

[@MrMario65]

oh thnx for the info. I never played this game so i wouldn't know much about it

Really makes you wonder if the American version was on Valium, or something.

Only thing that makes me angrier than playing this game, is knowing people dropped $40 on a game that can be beaten in 7 mins without cheats.

How about we make the game really short but super frustratingly hard so it just appears a long game for most players?

[@KartSeven]

There is a new strat for last boss, so it's possible to save around 20 seconds.

[@nanashi1173]

I’m surprised anyone cared enough to figure that out

[@raphaelpaul7192]

How do you get the axes. I have a knife when I play

[@Doommaster1994]

You have to pick them up in the level, but they are hidden unless you use the candle. The "A" icons are the axe pickups. I think there's also a Fireball ("F") attack as well.

[@PhilipMarcYT]

How is this faster than the American version? Sped up? It actually looks playable.

[@Israel_Vazquez]

came here from avgn

[@BurkhardtGaming]

watching this feels so wrong it feels like nobody should ever complete this game XD

[@michaelmattioni4993]

Came here after watching the old video of AVGN failing at this. I think this game suffered from the same thing as many NES games. They didn't want to spend a ton of time making an in-depth game with a lot of content, so they just made it hard as s**t to keep you from finishing it quickly, or at all. Back then you might just assume that you're simply not good at the game and that there must be a lot more content that you're missing due to your lack of skill. Back in the day when games like this came out, with limited lives, limited continues, and no save points in most games, I just accepted that I wasn't going to beat many NES games.

[@themidcentrist]

Game developers and publishers during the NES era didn't have to worry about online reviews so they could get away with being lazy easier than they can today. Game purchases were often blind buys based on cover art and a few screen shots. Fortunately, my first blind buy was for Mega Man II so that worked out pretty well for me. Over time we pretty much figured out that Konami, Capcom = good and LJN = bad

[@TommyCD1]

You can really tell how shitty a game's controls are when the bosses' projectiles are so few and far in between.

[@gaelgerard5207]

I feel like the last level is actually the easiest

[@gorule]

AVGN is amazed...again

[@depressedkermit5337]

I’m guessing this is the PAL region variant of the game which is much easier.

[@ottoneiii4353]

basically it s the same

[@dwdadevil]

@@ottoneiii4353 Pal games at that time runs at 50fps, 17% slower than NTSC version, giving you an advantage

[@89simba57]

I really hated this game as a kid

[@Savescreen]

pfff I wonder how people can find the motivation to finish these kind of games, let alone practice it to speedrun :'D

[@Merrinen]

Motivation is the easy part: be the best in the world. Practice takes time, but internet makes it easy and fun as there are other who also do the same and tips and tricks are shared among others. On a sidenote, I've never been a speedrunner, but I can certainly respect how they do this thing for practically nothing and yet raise a lot of donations for charity. Like, over a million dollars in one event earlier this year. Simply by playing awesome.

[@Savescreen]

yeah I got that, but I meant by doing "shitty" games ;p. Oh well Guess some people don't wanna do them which makes it easier.

[@123TauruZ321]

I tried playing this game, i did make it to the first boss quite easily, although with a good few deaths, trial and error. But gave up at the first boss. I got the version that has many snakes instead of that big one, and that boss version is much harder.
