Gargoyle’s Quest (Gameboy) - Dusty Game Society

[@Ragarcia1986]

The good old days when you picked up a game like Final Fantasy Legends for GB and put 3 hours of playtime in before you figure out how to start the main quest.

[@TechDweeb]

100% 😂

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

Play it on Wonderswan

[@Allanrpsx]

lol such a familiar experience. honestly though, I dont think I can play games in that way anymore, I've been sticking to arcade like games more and more

[@LuizBento]

That's definitely the most creative retro game channel

[@endermouse8094]

im glad that this gem of a game is also on nintendo switch online so that dweebs that dont want to buy miyoo minis or powkiddy etc can still play it like all of us dweebs!

[@ronniecunningham9145]

Been a viewer for about a year can't believe this channel isn't bigger then you are just amazing content:)

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks buddy. I'm not in a rush. Look at my patience. LOOK AT IT!

[@Killysunt]

Hope you continue this series, this was a cozy video

[@TechDweeb]

I definitely will!

[@REVOLVERE]

Nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more dusty old games. I've been on a big retro game streak these days :D

[@danielgriffin9895]

Love this idea! I've been wanting to see reviews of old games I missed out on or never even knew about. Looking forward to more of these!

[@uncaringbear]

I like the idea of these new videos. So many content creators focus on the hardware for running retro games, which is great, but almost none of them talk about the games beyond how well they run in various emulators. On a side note, the screen on the RGB30 is just so freaking amazing!

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks! And yeah the RGB30 screen is so great for GB. I wouldn't want to play square-ish systems on anything else.

[@janX9]

Best soundtrack on GB and my favorite game on Gameboy. The songs literally get stuck in my head all day sometimes.

[@mirkodiciano4647]

thank you techdweeb you got me into retro handhelds and btw love the videos

[@Gallospacca-]

A small masterpiece, I bought it as soon as it came out as a kid, I still keep it complete and in perfect condition in my collection, over the years I have finished it several times, always very fun and satisfying. The atmosphere is one of the best on Gameboy, usually the games for this console were always very joyful and cheerful, but the design and music of this game, combined with the high difficulty made it almost disturbing, especially for a kid. Without a doubt one of the top 10 Gameboy games.

[@TechDweeb]

I'd LOVE to get a physical copy of this one. Definitely in my top 10 as well :D

[@eambot]

That theme song unlocked memories. Love this game so much. Also DGS?! Dude you rock lol love this idea.

[@SNKev411]

Got to love them dusty games

[@STR82DVD]

Fun! I was actually just playing the OG Gameboy Castlevania on a Funkey S. A total blast whilst waiting in line for whatever. Thanks lad. Brilliant content kid.

[@シミズルリ]

As someone who never had the chance to get into retro games I find these kind of videos very interesting! Thanks TechDweeb!

[@nicholassanders527]

This is exactly the kind of video that we need and will be very appreciated. Thank you so much

[@zooliuscaesar]

I have vague memories of playing a little bit of this game. I know I didn't get far (it was challenging) and I definitely didn't have the cart so it must have been at a friend's house. But now it's starting to dredge up all kinds of fond memories and nostalgia with the Gameboy. Sitting for hours in the sun room of my grandparent's house as the adults talked about boring adult stuff. I had much more important things to worry about, like seeing how far I could get in Tetris or beating Super Mario Land 2. Or trying to play with the illumination of passing street lamps at night because turning on the inside car light would mean instant death (well, that's how it felt). Anyway, now that I'm way off on a tangent, I'll have to revisit Gargoyle's Quest. Thanks for the reminder. Hope to see more from the DGS.

[@TechDweeb]

Oh man. The passing street lamps is 100% a struggle that all us 80's babies dealt with!

[@wyatt606]

On my list now,thanks. First need to beat Alleyway and Kirby's Dreamland. Also, I love that we can scrape the game manuals to read before and during playing.

[@majinshinsa]

I need to go back and play this game. I beat the sequel on the SNES "Demon's Crest" which was a lot of fun.

[@lonniebrown1468]

a favorite game of mine when I was a young dweeb. happy to see it getting some love.

[@annhilater1985]

Very much enjoyed this, looking foreword to more episodes

[@KovanNova]

This is a great game for the first episode of this series! I only recently found out about this game, due to me growing up with the GBA instead of the original Gameboy, but it's so cool for a Gameboy game!

[@RazzleDazzle23]

Capcoms production quality has always been top notch. The music beams you into another world and that's what gaming is all about. The darker tone of Gargoyles Quest really hooked me up and that's why converted to Mega Drive instead of SNES later on.

[@richardjimenez8060]

Loving the concept, keep it up!

[@edcopeland1675]

Ok TD, just broke my handheld to play this! I loved this game when I had a GB!

[@MIDNITE69]

"A book club but for retro gaming." That sounds amazing!

[@freddychopin]

...Is that Chopin's Nocturne in F# Minor being performed on a Yamaha CP-70?

[@Artsyca]

There’s a very good strategy video on this game that walks you through every step of this game. (U can beat… series). It was the impetus that pushed me to order the RGB 30! Great choice for the inaugural episode. Long live the dusty game society!

[@Colcalebcat]

This is marvelous. Uninsipidly splendid.

[@lalitpun3245]

[@Ziggy7800Pro]

I remember when I bought this game on the 3ds eshop it was after Christmas not sure the year but man had a lot fun with it. I still have that 3ds and the other two games on that system. I going to play this game again thanks buddy!

[@sandplasma]

Geez that PowKiddy is just PERFECT for gameboy. Looking forward to more!

[@TechDweeb]

Definitely my current favourite Gameboy handheld!

[@kupokinzyt]

I recently picked up an Xbox 360, having not had one since I was young and sold it for my Xbox One. I've been playing it recently on my channel and have already went thru almost all of the old Call of Duty games, Battlefield, Gears of War, Halo, etc and have just about packed my newer Xbox's up and put them in the closet to protect them from dust because that is about all they are collecting anymore. MW3 campaign was my first time ever playing it and it was some of the most fun I've had in a short 6 hours. Absolutely zero pay to win stuff, didn't need to update it every day and it's performance just.. well, Todd Howard worked. I still have my PS2 and this week has made me really want to dig it out again. Btw I love your channel! Have been watching you for forever now, I just don't comment much! Keep it up, wish to see you at 100K this year!

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks for sticking with me buddy!

[@Aenlirion]

Good job! Nice start of new series. Maybe some of those dusty games don't need a 10min video, don't know. Happy new year.

[@theboriszaytsev]

This game was awesome! I never heard of it before the dusty game society on Techdweeb's discord channel. Yes save scumming was involved but whatareyagonnado.

I loved the Box Art of Gargoyles Quest . HATED IT playing it the first time as it was too difficult, but started loving it later on.

[@TechDweeb]

Haha same

[@ionamygdalon2263]

Awesome video TD Really liked your British accent I do remember playing this game back in the 90s!! I now own a Snapdragon 695 smartphone which is my "portable gaming machine". The audio in the background was so so good btw! I do remenisce those "good all days" when gaming was the direct result of passionate developers who put their heart and soul into making the games... Unlike modern times where a bunch of greedy ### wearing suits and ties determine what a game should be like. You are THE BEST Mr TechDweeb and I am sure Hermione would agree

[@TechDweeb]

Haha thanks buddy! The accent needs work but I'll get there :P

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks buddy. Yeah I'm so with ya there. Can you imagine what an awesome world of gaming we'd have if the industry wasn't built to try to squeeze out every last dollar from us? A dweeb can dream...

Modern games have beautiful (??) screens, F/X, musics, BUT they lack optimisations, they stink of free/paid updates, patches, requiring to get the "best" hardware of course, etc... I'm not a 100% retro nostalgic, but I love old games because they have what the modern don't: a SOUL, a HEART, a something which brings you to play again and again. So, I'm dweebwing happy to see this new club alive!! Let's have FUN!!

Felicitations good sir. I do trust that the Dusty Games Society indulge in dusty games whilst smoking a pipe and sporting a monacle, what? I anticipate future installments with immense jubilance. 🧐

[@dragon2knight]

This. THIS. This is why we retro! This is an awesome idea Mr. Dweeb ❤ I love the great idea of not just focusing on the hardware, but the whole stinkin' reason for getting said hardware in the first place! I loved Gargoyle's Quest, wasted many an hour making my tiny gargoyle slay all in his tiny path 🥰 I honestly can't wait for the next installment 😊

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks for saying so buddy! I love the sentiment :)

[@lloydmilton9808]

The closest I came to owning a Gameboy was when Pokemon became super popular in the US. My wife and I were watching the cartoon on Saturdays with her daughters and we even bought a few of the Pikachu pedometers, man, we went through so many of those things. I almost bought a GBC to play Pokemon, but we just didn't have enough money for me to buy some 70 - 80 games for the system. Long story short, I never played Gargoyle's Quest but I did play the SNES sequel, Demon's Crest, which I absolutely loved. Maybe it is time to go back and play the original.

[@TechDweeb]

Yeah there's quite a few games in this series. I want to show a few more off in hidden gems vids I think.

[@sebastianfiedler4765]

I Like the idea of this kind of Videos. Please keep up the "dusty game society"

[@broinasvalentin1727]

UUU this series would be perfect to feature some of the games I recently discovered or were my old time obscure favorites, for example here are 2 super interesting ones: - Terranigma (SNES) - Dark RPG with easy leveling up, especially with save states, but very story driven with a really deep and interesting story (I am almost finished with the whole game, according to walkthroughs, but it is so hard you kind of need periodic walkthroughs, but it's worth it, some puzzles are imposible to figure out, if not looking at walkthroughs) - Boogerman (Sega Senesis) It is funny with fun graphics.

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look em up!

[@gapster77]

Love this as a new series!

[@pandabearmadness6263]

Wow this game was very special to me I owned it and played it on my fat Gameboy and i played so many hours. It was really hard but i remember progression through the game getting codes and leveling the gargoyle up and being able to fly longer. Finding secrets was so satisfying, thank you for this video I haven't thought about this gaming years and the crazy thing is I bet you I have it on a retro handheld I just totally forgot about it. Just watching the game play here I'm like oh my God it's like a wave of nostalgia hit over me 😅😅😅. This game is absolutely underrated I feel like I played this game along with the super Mario Land the most

[@umbrellacorp.]

Glad seeing you for the New Year Tech D. Your videos are Cool. ☕️😎👍💯

[@okayman81]

Loved the name of the society! I felt like checking in at the local secret guild haha Already looking fw to the next episode! 😅

[@TechDweeb]

Guild. Cult. Same thing right?

[@GiSWiG]

I love this Dusty Game Society idea. I remember playing this game from when I was a kid. It was decades ago so I could not say if I owned it or rented it but I did play it. I think this game will be my first playthrough on my Analogue Pocket in the original DMG glory. It seems as if I can finish it over the weekend. If you are taking suggestions, may I recommend Crystalis for the NES (also available on NSO and SNK 40th Anniversary Collection). That was one of my beloved games from back then. Of course if you like to torture the DGS, Battletoads! The only NES game I owned but never beat.

[@GiSWiG]

I just had to come back and suggest Jackal. Still working on GQ but loving Jackal for NES on the AP with and 8bitdo Neo Geo controller, works great on arcade ports. I played it at a friend's house, never owned the game.

[@Sean-oi5rv]

Sometimes, you just want to sit down and play a game when you are tired of playing a game 😅

I am on board with the DGS, I will be playing all of the titles to completion!

[@tbatrics]

[@Frank_42]

I'm thinking the unforgiving game over aspect where you can't save comes from the arcade tradition of wanting you to sink as many quarters into the machine as you have in your pocket.

Haha yeah this'll be fun to get some commentary from the community :D

[@xerxestelevision6666]

What a great game to start with!!! Always been one of my favorites!!! Funny side note, in your gameplay footage you ran across a couple enemies who appear to be just a regular guy with wh a sheet thrown over them like a cheap ghost costume. I was playing the Japanese game Kid Dracula by Konami on the NES the other day and I ran into a boss that looked EXACTLY the same, only with two obvious differences. The first difference was that the boss character was much larger by comparison, the other difference is that for some reason, the “Ghost” boss had a swastika on the forehead of its ghost mask making it look very much like something other than a ghost. It completely went against the otherwise fun and cute take on a Konami vampire game. What’s up with that Konami?

[@badbusiness2113]

The symbol can be found throughout Asia, from homes to temples, in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. It has also been used by cultures and religions throughout history, the earliest example from 10,000 BCE - a mammoth ivory carving!

[@xerxestelevision6666]

@@badbusiness2113 Yeah, I know. So why was it on the forehead of that person wearing a white sheet just like Charlie Manson? Are you going to get one tattooed on your forehead and then when people ask you about it then you just matter of factly state that it’s been present in history since the Stone Age so what’s your problem? Heck no you wouldn’t, because it’s not cool to have a swastika on your forehead even if you aren’t also wearing a sheet.

[@TheGuppy]

I'm English and I'm never watching your channel again! This is great. I'm so glad you're making a series focused on games. You always seem to have a blast talking about them.

Had this back then...still have it. It was a fun game then and still good. I have my original games and hardware but sure prefer modern screens. Seems like I bought this on 3dsxl too. I enjoyed GB games on that system....nice big screen. I bought a modded 2DS years ago and haven't the nerve to mod my 3dsxl

[@TheRealTedNeal]

Thanks for the video! I’m a fan of this and hope you make more like this in the future! Did you do the tape mod on your RGB30?

Haven't done the tape mod yet. I might. I dunno. I don't really care that much. It works fine for everything I use it for so 🤷‍♂️

[@fgmenth]

Yo! Sup Dweeeeeeeeeb? Man, I still have my Gargoyle's Quest cartridge from back in the day. I think I lost my manual though, I had written down all these save codes and everything. This was one of the most beautiful looking games on the original Game Boy. It's impressive what they could do with just 4 colors on that dot matrix screen. Playing it on a modern screen looks good as well, but it's missing that "dot matrix charm" you know? Or maybe it's just my nostalgia talking.

I'm jealous. That's one game I want to get a physical version of for sure. It's in my top 10
