Every WILLOW Game | Epic Adventures on DOS, Arcade, & NES

[@thehorrorkid]

‘Cold, labyrinthine colon’ is a brand new word cluster, never uttered before, so congratulations on that. Awesome video, Willow was such an oversized influence on my childhood. I would have been obsessed if I knew that arcade game existed back then

[@ian.swift.31614]

everything's already been done and said. don't be so arrogant to think that nobody has said cold labyrinthine colon. have fun youtubing and posting comments on youtube videos, horrorkid.

[@RetroKiwiDad]

The Willow games are some of my favorite games, I love coming back to them every once in a while and playing again. So Well done.

[@siamesegiant]

Love Willow so much. Being based in Europe the NES was nonexistent, and I never saw that arcade game or DOS game anywhere, so watching you on stream was pretty much my first exposure to them. F them crabs!

[@barvobot]

They did my man Warwick dirty on the NES cover

[@ian.swift.31614]

an elf drew the coverart. their hatred of dwarves is legendary.

[@NorrinRaddIITurbo]

I was just thinking about what a good job Capcom did with the NES game. Thanks for reminding me I need to give it another playthrough 👍🏻

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Willow remains perhaps the most underrated fantasy adventure film to date. Never understood why it failed with credits and the box the box office.

[@captainviggo4575]

Well, even if I loved the movie as a kid and still like it a lot, it is also pretty obvious that Lucas took great inspiration in Tolkien and even recycled his own Star Wars archetypes. Willow is both Frodo and Luke. Madmartigan is Han Solo. General Kael is Darth Vader. Bavmorda is Palpatine. Fin Raziel is Obi-Wan Kenobi. etc. And the overall story is pretty predictable and not very original. It's great when you're a kid and don't know a lot of similar stories yet, especially in the fantasy genre, but I guess it's pretty understandable that more experienced audiences would find the movie unoriginal.

the best of the best gaming content on KZbin X one of the greatest movies ever made

[@shambleslongplay3566]

I never made it passed the cart level in The willow arcade game back in the day, but it always took the 1st few coins from me if it was not in use when i arrived at the arcade.

[@CinemaStormz]

Awesome video game commentary. Keep up the good work 👏

[@BurstError]

thanks so much! :D

[@pakasack]

I love Willow!!! The critics were wrong (as is often the case lol). It's an epic memorable film especially compared to the junk coming out today, but I won't go all into that... anyway thanks for this awesome video!!!

[@ian.swift.31614]

the willow tv series was how the movie should've been, y'all.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I've loved the arcade and NES games since they were released and greatly appreciated their different approaches. You should review the Willow TTRPG next! (I'm mostly kidding)

[@brandongreen4439]

Oh hey, that one movie I never watched but still played the arcade game because I was a kid who liked playing stuff on MAME. Nice.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

I rented the NES game a lot when I was a young lad. Took me years to beat it.

[@williamcrowe2576]

Fun fact; there was a deleted scene from the movie where Willow has an encounter with a fish creature. That's where the rafting level in the arcade game comes from.

[@BurstError]

oh cool, I never knew about that!

[@williamcrowe2576]

@BurstError It does appear in the comic adaptation of the film along with a scene involving an ice wall.

[@zen_arcade_live]

😂 “Cold Labyrinthine colon” great video burst!

[@JohnRiggs]

I loved the Arcade game, but mostly played on NES.

[@MaximumRD]

Never played it but kind of like the look of the NES game.

[@SPac316]

Willow is a great movie. I have only played Willow on NES. It was a decent action-rpg. Although it's strange to see Willow with a Sword and Shield instead of a magic staff. That should be for Madmartigan.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Great game, but I was always disappointed you never got to play as Madmartigan.

[@CinemaStormz]

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@HPRshredder]

Am I first? No. Have I played any Willow game? I have not. Have I seen the movie? No again. Will I? Yes, probably. Did I "wake up, babe, Burst Error just uploaded" for this video? I did.

[@gaylordfocker7990]

You really should watch Willow.

[@oliverjabroni9912]

The score to the movie is worth it alone

[@mysteryblankdspace4342]

Highly recommend watching the movie. Important amalgamation of conan like dark fantasy, tolkien esque hugh grouded fantasy, and the adventure pacing of the contemporary lucas films story telling.

[@HallelujahHotdog]

Truly a man of great taste

[@solracrod]

Same here

[@presidentsnow7315]

I LOVED the NES version as a kid. It was so well done.

[@NateTheGnat]

I have an Eborsisk on my cabinet. So yes Willow is my second favorite 80s fantasy movie, after Time Bandits. Willow and Time Bandits should have had a crossover movie or game.

[@BurstError]

a Time Bandits game could have been amazing

[@redwolflancer3051]

The NES game was great, and the only reason I played it as a kid was because Capcom did it, I used to stay away from any movie based game because it usually sucked. I was very happy that Friday night when I got home from Blockbuster video and it turned out a great game.

[@Inubito]

I always thought the NES and arcade versions were pretty solid. A nice surprise from the standard movies to games translation. Never knew about the PC versions tho. 😬

[@elodvezer1790]

I literally got the Neo Geo emulator the other week for this game!!

[@Roy_Boy4.1]

The soundtrack is pretty interesting

[@JustDatBoi]

Love when OSW goes off on the Jeff Hardy Willow. I’m hoping at least one other person here knows what I’m on about

[@tookool5616]

"That's my baby"

[@genos6506]

I loved the arcade game .

[@itzybitzyspyder]

I saw Willow in the theatre and played the NES version of the game.

[@donaldporr9682]

I loved the nes game!

[@melissalee2153]

I had and played the NES version, and it was a good solid game and I loved it. Not as good as some games of the time but still good.

[@joeysmith3037]

saw a video where looks like a secret to Unleash a Brownie that helps you fight when Madmartigan is in the Caves, have you seen that?

[@jayhouston7054]

Beat the nes one finally(couldnt finish as a kid) and the arcade game about a year ago, never knew it had a dos game. Love Willow the movie... did not watch the disney+ abomination that was so bad they removed it from disney+ so no one can even see it which is amazing because even the worst slop 1 star movies you can usually stream.

[@TheItalianTrash]

The movie was one of my favorites. When I finally decided to get Disney + the show had just been removed so I also didn't see it. The show did get 84% on Rotten Tomatoes and was among the top 10% in popularity during Q1 2023 before its removal so I'm not sure where you heard it was so bad.

[@jayhouston7054]

@@TheItalianTrash Willow is one of my childhood favorites as well, some real classics back in the day. Lol Rotten Tomatoes that is a corrupt org, the show checked the correct boxes is all it takes sometimes. Not to get political, so I will leave it at that. Look at the actual real people reviews not the paid shills as well as online. It was so bad they didn't even want to waste the bandwith or space or whatever it is to keep it online to watch, that should tell you something. How often does that happen on an IP that they exclusively own and can only be viewed on the same exclusive service? I would say beloved IP to(well to me it was). I would have probably, maybe, eventually watched an ep. or 2 to try and get some member berries out of it.

[@TheItalianTrash]

@@jayhouston7054 I never blindly follow either critics or the audience's review scores, but I usually agree with them when a movie gets terrible ratings. Both the critics and the audience gave it good reviews. I'm also aware that the Willow series has a lesbian couple and a transgender female which I don't mind since I'm neither politically correct nor their anti-woke counterparts which I find both want to go out of their way to find something to complain about. As long the political correctness isn't excessively overt where every Nelwyn is a bisexual transgender female rocking a beard who identifies as a Daikini. I loved the movie because of the lore and the world along with the various characters ranging from the Brownies to General Kael who did have the coolest helmet ever. I do understand that the show cost quite a bit to make for each episode with a huge cast and Disney didn't want to pay any royalties to keep the show running on Disney Plus. I'll just have to get a bootleg blu-ray to watch it.

[@Mockthenerd]

I swear the recent TV show was just a generic fantasy script they shoved Willow into. I stopped watching after 2 episodes because it felt like a High-school drama with High-school level acting.

[@Jebbreh]

It was a stain on Willow.

[@joshhall0213]

The recent series was one of the biggest disappointments of my life
