Ice Climber (NES) Mike & Bootsy

[@TheMattmatic]

The ultimate "GET UP THERE!" game. And no - you can't just walk over it :(

+TheMattmatic Get up there! GET UP THERE!!!... GET THE FUCK UP THERE!!! AARRGGH!

[@Curtoonstv]

Lol best explanation

[@ThePreciseClimber]

Finally my jam. Climb the Ice, motherfuckers.

[@OneColdMonkey]

+ThePreciseClimber *checks name* It's true. All of it.

[@JohnthePhantom]

+gurvmlk Bad games with bad controls = shitty game Good game(?) with bad controls = Good game(?) To me the game looks fun, but if the controls are bad. Then this game is unfair.

[@JohnthePhantom]

gurvmlk how does one know it was deliberate? did the makers of the game told you this, or guessing it? Either way, the game could need more work on it.

[@b33lze6u6]

+John the Phantom --- I Hate Google+. 1: bad controls are subjective 2: some games benefit from a restrictive control scheme. especially survival horror. and lol its not unfair

[@JohnthePhantom]

b33lze6u6 it's unfair, Period.

[@FireTokei]

It's a great game. Also, the Polar Bear makes the stage go up if you take too long.

[@ThePreciseClimber]

It sure is great!

[@sushisuke]

Wouldn't that make it harder? It would make you panic because you're so low on the screen.

[@PredatoryQQmber]

+SonicServine Exactly ! Living on the edge ! Feel the adrenaline !

[@puffnisse]

+SonicServine That's the point...

[@ThePreciseClimber]

I was always sad there was not a single other game. Not on NES, not on the GameBoy, not even on Wii/DS Ware. Hell, if even Kid Icarus got 2 sequels... why not Ice Climber?

[@SiGhast]

So, apparently you don't even have to play it to get frustrated with that puny fucking jump that is completely inconsistent with the momentum. It is the bane of my existence.

[@ripnephils4205]

Butsy is so calm, I love his style

[@Bubbabyte99]

Once you get the hang of the jumping physics, this game is REALLY fun.

[@NeoDragonKnight]

I remember playing this as a kid 2 players and so many funny things can happen. It is a game where you and your partner can just breakout in uncontrollable laughter. Watching you guys play I was laughing along, brings back a lot of memories!

[@larrywolf2509]

This was in the original handful of games released with the NES and was the first game I got as a kid (for my birthday). I loved the heck out of it. If you take too much time advancing the screen upward the polar bear comes out and stomps, moving the screen up on you, but if you can reach him and smack him with your hammer he slides back into his cave.' After you die when you respawn you have some measure of invincibility so long as you do *not* hit any buttons. When you die, just wait to see where you show up first, then move.

[@tiagobasilio3124]

I played this game so many times with my sister!! "Wait for me!!" So good memories!! xD

[@magnus.asplund]

Early in the NES life in Scandinavia, Ice Climber was the bundled game when you bought the system.

[@TristanJHorta]

Fun fact! The Abominable Snowmen were actually seals at one time! You got points for smacking them with a hammer!

[@TotallyRadical]

The jumping is by design and the whole game is built around that mechanic. If you could change direction in the air and all of that it would take away all the challenge that makes this game great.

[@Tool0GT92]

I played this with my mom when I was really young, it's a great early NES game.

[@dcashley303]

Those jump controls... so frustrating! I'd love a modern Ice Climbers on the eShop.

[@scottcrabtree3239]

Man, bringing back some memories...! I had completely forgotten about this game and it was one of my favorites!!!

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

The terrible jumping mechanics does basically ruin the game. Which is a shame cos, the concept is pretty fun.

[@Left4Cake]

I recall being able to work up to the controls, but yeah it is unforgiving for beginning.

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

Menthols well, it's too fussy in the landing. Feels like you fall through the floor a lot of times when you shouldnt.

[@Tranceplant82]

+Menthols No way in hell it was intentional, lol. You're thinking too much, dude.

[@aladinlizalo602]

+TheLonelyGoomba It cant be too easy :p

[@bland9876]

Classic Mario and castlvania are better

[@sonicmario64]

Who else is watching this episode three years after it was originally posted on here? ;)

[@jamierose9095]

Best falling in holes simulator since E.T. =D

[@ashir555]

hahahahahahahahahahahah, you guys kill me for real this time, my god I can't stop laughing. Mike's face at 15:50 is just priceless!!!, like "What's a good spot to have a hole?", "I want you to tell me where I should put my hole", "I know all about holes" aaaaaaand now this... He is just reading the future comments on his mind!

[@Theraot]

+Ashir 13:57 "Oh wait, I'll go up your hole" -- Mike Matei

[@lfgubrs]

Many memories from this game and love the blues music

[@mariosonickirby1]

the jumping physics are horrific in this game

[@brandonborak9979]

mariosonickirby1 g

[@justintahair9119]

yea they are but i liked the challenge the game play concept was cool

[@CartmanBF2]

I managed to not crack up laughing until "I'll go up your hole." xD

[@skummelkatt]

Great game. Very underrated

[@justintahair9119]

yes and its just as cool as bugs bunnys crazy castle its cooland you cillect carrots and veggies the challenge is where the player has tomaster the jumping and i like that good game

[@synyztahkillah09]

I was a 'bowling alley kid' and I remember an arcade machine that had several games on it.. This was one of them. I never played it (because I was poor) but it always looked really fun. :)

[@SigmarJuffe]

I remember playing this as a kid. One of the good things of having older siblings is that you get to experience things ''past your time'' like the original Transformers and Ninja Turtles. etc. etc.

[@dorpth]

I have no clue why, but back in the day (1987-88), I remember this was the most often demo'd NES game in stores after Duck Hunt. If it wasn't Duck Hunt being shown on the display TV, it was always Ice Climbers. 2 different stores too.

[@SaraaaDee]

Loved Ice Climbers as a kid!!

[@enragedfireplug213]

Ice Climber was a NES launch title in Scandinavia I believe, so it's very familiar here - almost every other home had the game if they had the NES console. I also think it was developed for Arcade too, so that might explain the controls...

[@joseph_b319]

I like how the hammer has incorporated into the jumping physics.

[@fredrikhast]

I think this might have been the funniest fucking episode in a long long time, laughed so hard. Thanks for all the entertainment guys!

[@ONLYFOOLSNVIDEOS]

I've been waiting for cinemassacre to do this for a while. One of my favourite nes/co - op games

[@saddamhusein5184]

Absolutely love this classic. Thanks, guys, it btings so much memories.

[@quite1enough]

one of my favourite games in childhood

[@MephMetal]

My childhood called and said "you're playing a good game".

[@gfy69]

This game is so much harder than it looks.

[@Freez_Izzy]

"Ice Climbers" was one of my "firsts" games. I was six, i was frustrated, but it was fun, especially in coop with friends.

[@erainmartinez8175]

I love this gameplay 1:00

[@CommodoreFan64]

this was one of the early games my dad got us for our NES, and while I was never good at it, my Sister got to where she could at least get to mountain 11, or 12 before dying.

[@LieutenantBoreyko]

One of the games from my childhood. Greetings from Poland.

[@Xanatos21]

Ice Climbers is so addicting! I remember playing that game for hours on end back in the day.

[@channelfadge7438]

you guys should play Squid Jump for the NES. I have such good memories playing that game as a kid

[@daveed2589]

i have memories of playing it when the servers were down for the demo.

[@BahuschBahusch]

+The Channel Fadge I have good memories playing it as a squid.

[@milesbeler3974]

+Johotendo I had good memories playing it as a kid now.

[@ex0duzz]

Oh, i love this game. One of the classic 2 player co-op games.. just like Bubble Bobble, Snow Bros and Battle Tanks etc.. and that other one where u shoot a grappling hook and pop bubbles. That's a classic too, one of my favs along with Snow Bros.

[@schinsky6833]

This was one of my favorite NES games back then. Played it just like you now with a friend and it was addicting as fuck.

[@AlJavier06]

This was my favorite game! Two-player runs with my brother back in the day, those were fun.

[@161patox]

The version of ice climbers that i played had seals insted of yetis, weird.. :o

[@dalton6198]

In some places they replaced the seals with bears because seal clubbing was an issue.

[@-Devy-]

+Raziel The Japanese version has the seals.

[@CoolHandleHere]

+Raziel The Japanese version had seals, as mentioned before. They'd often put the Japanese version in the bootleg cartridges, so if your game was a bootleg copy or one of those [random number] in 1 cartridges, then that might explain it.

[@snetmotnosrorb3946]

Hm, I remember both seals and yetis. Gotta look it up someday. Live in Europe.

[@161patox]

I live in Argentina and i had a famicon not an nes but my games were all (or like 95% of them) in english.

[@thef5adventurer389]

I like the split-screen better ;-) (game vs face-cam) 20% face - 80% game

[@handsomebrick]

13:57 The way he said it, like he just came up with a brilliant idea, made it way funnier.

[@KazikPalec]

when that polar bear jumbs all stages are going up. bear appears when you are on current level (platform) too long. classic game :)

[@BonoboJunge]

I remember back in the days playing this with my brother (like 4-7 year old) ... lots of fun ! and somehow it feels like I played this like yesterday (and its over 20yrs till I played this!)

[@FeeleySkarin]

This might not look hard but its super hard, especially the bonus stages.

[@zharziss]

Love Ice Climber, my first game ever. The NES came bundled with it in Europe for a while.

[@ChristopherMcLarenExperience]

How did Mike see that that was mountain 10? It goes to eight and then no indication during the bonus stage?

[@ItBurn]

Holy sh*t I laughed to tears. You couldn't have planned it better.

[@BERO17071991]

I loved this game as a kid. it was my third favourite after SMB1 and 3.

[@patrick8488]

I used to love this game back in the day.

[@BattlefieldBCompany2]

Definitely my favorite classic game. Beaten every mountain!

[@dannyparray599]

Watched this multiple times, still hilarious!

[@Kenttiristi]

I love this game. Played it a lot with an old friend some 14 years ago. I gotta get my nintendo working so I can play this again!

[@matthewcowell]

It actually reminds me of Kid Icarus. Not the game itself, but the layout and level design.

[@dexwri9211]

How ironic...

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Good stuff!!

[@AdamBladeTaylor]

The game's a lot of fun. It's just about learning the tricks to the controls. Once you're used to the jumping, it's a lot easier. The big polar bear stomps and moves the screen down, so when you see him, you have to make sure you're not on the lowest visible floor. Also you can run through the side of most levels like in PacMan.

[@MinimiMax]

"Let's try one more time." Ten tries later: "One more time." This video in a nutshell.

[@PaulFossJr]

Great looking game, glad it's you guys playing it and not me! Old school NES games are certainly challenging.

[@TheLiquidStaff]

I remember playing this with my brother when we were kids, it's a great game

[@Kanovich_]

When I was a kid, I played "Ice Climber" and the "Jetis" were "seals" in the Japanese version that we had in South America

[@sw3dishla8rat]

This did come out in 85, I played this game in the arcade at a sit down style coin-op that had 4 games that you could select-(ice climber, mario bros, excitebike, and super mario brothers), I also remember these guys from my jr high at the time who would grab plastic forks and somehow break into this stand up super mario bros and they would put in 99 credits

[@sobbybounce3200]

Congrats On 700 Videos

[@GoOKuSj33]

Play Sunset Riders next guys!

[@praxicoide]

I like how consistent Nintendo was with its look and feel in its early games. You can immediately recognize it as a Nintendo game, just like with Popeye, Wrecking Crew, Giromite and the others released around this time.

[@MrWasabio]

12:55 had me literally in tears!

[@Razeruckus]

I always loved to play ice climbers.. I even downloaded it onto the Wii! great game choice!

[@BURCHDOGSHOW]

Come join the Anti-Doug movement

[@Nyah420]

+BURCHDOG For a moment, I read "Anti-Drug". :|

[@BURCHDOGSHOW]

+Adrian Fahrenheit I can say that about anything. You're spamming a reply to a comment, get a life. You have a raccoon as your profile picture, get a life. Lol I appreciate you emote your dear sadness for me, but I'm good (:

[@BURCHDOGSHOW]

Sunny Burrito You keep up with that attitude and you're gonna do just fine in here

[@BURCHDOGSHOW]

Adrian Fahrenheit "asshurt" lol you know there are degrees involve in psychoanalysis. Just letting you know how hilariously fraught you are claiming to know how I sound through a keyboard. Take a glass of shut the fuck up, how do I sound now?

[@EVEmasta]

liked, subscribed and favorited, me and my friends did the same as well

[@marko70389]

I played this game a lot.Good old memories.

[@scottandrewhutchins]

I discovered this game in a bowling alley and really liked it. I wasn't able to get a copy until a used one at FuncoLand, and that's when I realized how slow the learning curve is because of the controls.

[@YumeKojoCosplay]

Happy Holidays Cinemassacre crew!

[@AwesomeCorgi]

This is like the most intense game ever on Cinemassacre. :D

[@snath9974]

Used to love this game... would play it for days on end... once I even had the world high score for it :)

[@josecarmelo7598]

14:45 Jerry Seinfield

[@OSP_AsCeNSioN]

ive never heard of or seen this game in my entire life and i grew up w/ nes 80s/90s

[@Tairygreen]

These are awesome, guys. Hilarious. Love it if you did more!

[@TEXTMANNEN]

In a number of European countries sold the NES at the launch of a package where Ice Climber included, which meant that virtually anyone who owned a NES also owned the Ice Climber.

[@Xearrik]

The puns!

[@robertjenkins6132]

double entendre

[@_Some_Guy_]

8:10 LOLLL.... "ugh dammit", "ugh", "i just lost two guys there", "3 guys", "fuckin dead already", "i'm out"

[@Jabronid]

oh my! i remember this game, and liked to play it as a kid. really enjoying game.

[@TARDISFanMan]

I remember reading somewhere that the Ice Climbers have names, as apposed to just being 'the Ice Climbers'. Is that true? and if so, what are they?

[@mario64remix]

I think in Smash their names are Nana an Popo but who knows could be their Japanese names.

[@TheBreakingBenny]

+mario64remix Nope, that's their real names you buffoon.

[@johnnyrotten6334]

I fucking love Mike

[@crkpanda6320]

+Johnny Rotten and his schlong

[@crkpanda6320]

+Jonathan Vanesky stone? like mike's shlong? yeah i have nothing better to do this night

[@deadpan80]

holy shit! There's a chuck of my childhood right there--- great game!

[@stealthops]

'I have one guy left' - jumps down the hole. Nice.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Never played this as a kid... which makes me sad because i would have tore this a new ass lol. Looks pretty damn fun. This video was immensely entertaining. Hammer the holes lol. I have to say, i was one of those people bitching that i want classic nerd. But this stuff is starting to grow on me lol.

[@MaxT-SFX]

While rewatching this I noticed at 10:30 Mike sounds like a variation of Link.

[@JonasLefvert]

I love this classic game!

[@gregwx]

I had a love/hate relationship with that game hehehe. Awesome video guys!

[@steamboshow606]

Just got my physical copy of this game. Super excited to play it!

[@bboyjmillz-g2g]

I haven't laughed like that in a while! Keep playing more games like that lol

[@leroyraymond3505]

Ice Climbers was 1985, it was a launch title and I think it was a pack in game in Europe

[@allmertalex]

It's been ages since I last played this game, I think I was about 6 or 7 years old back then.

[@AQArchMageA4S]

"Oh wait! I'll go up your hole!" - Mike 13:53

[@glaxonberry3667]

Lovin' that Technodrome in the background

[@Esatzu]

I know they are talking about holes in the funny kind of way but on 14:29 it really sounds something else than 2 guys playing a video game :)

[@tomzicare]

This game is such a fucking classic, I remember playing this with my grandad when I was like 10 :)
