Jaws NES - Playthrough With Commentary

[@rdchili69]

The NES games based on movies were some of my favorite games. This is no exception. LJN games were my childhood.

[@FavianTubeX]

MLB, Surf and Turf, Gotcha, Karate Kid, Friday the 13th were some great memories. Don't understand the hate either

[@rig85]

I have this game. As a kid, I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do. I'd usually pull the game out every few months, play for a few minutes, and put it back. One day, I *finally* figured out what was going on. I got my power level up, took out Jaws, and it was very satisfying beating this game. There's not much too the game, but once you know what to do, it's actually not a *bad* game.

[@andrewcruz1931]

I’ve always loved the bonus scene music . It’s so happy sounding. So many fond memories .

[@BNizzzz]

I loved this game as a kid. Thanks for the walk down memory lane

[@ericvickery1993]

This was an awesome video, I'm playing Jaws currently and stopped to watch a quick walkthrough, glad I clicked your video, I'm 37 and trying to finally beat this game lol...

[@lordkayoss]

Haha, nice! It's never too late!

[@Areala21]

I swear, I could listen to you commentate anything and be totally enthralled. You have a great voice for this kind of thing. Especially NES games. :)

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

Thankfully Spielberg said there will never be a remake of any of his movies including Jaws as long as he is alive.

[@jackjjorgensen2501]

DiabloSamurai1985 poltergeist?

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

@@jackjjorgensen2501 Tobe Hooper directed that one, Spielberg was just a producer. Despite the rumors Spielberg shooting it himself.

[@nates9029]

Jaws was one of my favorite games as a kid. I would play this game all the time when I had 10-15 minutes to kill. My friends always had a hard time with it but this was one of the few games I could easily beat. Anyway, great video and commentary!

[@Freddyfan1428]

Awesome playthrough, Lord Kayoss! Keep up the awesome work, and you should totally have Freddy and Jason back for cameos again. Your reactions are priceless when you encounter those two.

[@0CreepingDeath0]

Friday the 13th and Jaws videos are both awesome! Do A Nightmare on Elm Street please!

[@Newport8187]

This game use to piss me off as a kid it, made no sense. Glad I saw this

[@yorgle11]

A friend of mine (the first I knew to have a NES) had this game back then. I vaguely remembered it and recently bought a copy on eBay. Within a day I've already beaten it, but it's a fun and relaxing little game. For a while I was confused what to do in the 3D scene at the end, but the manual explained it. It was also hard to tell if the "power level" thing actually did anything useful. It's weird that it only helps against Jaws, and otherwise just makes the game harder. It seems like the ideal is around level 3 or 4. Whenever I've made it to level 5 I start having way too much trouble with the jellyfish, and with my guy swimming around too fast. I'm not sure this game was that disliked in the 80s, other than just being too short and shallow to hold people's interest. But it was one of those games that became popular to bash in the early internet and youtube-era. I don't see how anybody who owned this game in the 80s with the manual would have been that confused. Not everything in the game is immediately clear but there's not much to it, and the manual explains it succinctly. This game isn't bad, but I think it had unrealized potential. If it had more depth and randomization to it, it could have been an early "rogue-like" with a lot more replay value. But this is an earlier game and it fits for 1987. I find that I have more nostalgia for games from that period, when the NES was just starting to get popular, so I got what I bargained for. I really like the sound in this game. It's nothing real special, but it just exemplifies the way I remember NES games sounding. It's very pleasant and.. happy.

[@avalond1193]

This game only started to get hate due to avgn and all those hack comedy game reviewers and being LJN game made it an easy target since they did have bad games but they also had a lot fun good games that sadly get lumped with the bad

[@elphaba4674]

The baby shark died in the 3rd movie, that's why the shark was pissed!

[@curtisbridges5044]

i just saw this game for the first time and i didn't know that they made a game like this, i had the friday the 13th game but this is pretty cool.

[@dkupke]

There *SORTA* was a fifth Jaws movie-Cruel Jaws. But really it was a totally separate movie that was itself made up with a bunch of rehashed footage from other shark movies. And it was only released as "Cruel Jaws" or "Jaws 5" overseas. I don't believe it even got a theatrical run in the US.

[@uncertaintimes411]

Thanks for the video. Loved it. Another game I loved to play as a kid.

[@supergrendel]

15 minutes of gameplay. Thanks LJN!

[@JakeR0d31]

Very Cool commentary also liked the Friday the 13th one as well. To answer your question the black balls are suppose to be depth chargers. As for Jaws Jr. the baby shark in JAWS 3-D dies of suffocation before they blow up mom. Ironically if ya read the novelizations Jaws 2 was a female shark that gave birth to several offspring and ONE of the offspring actually survives and swims away from Amity area and in the novelization of Jaws the Revenge the same offspring that survived returns to pick up the damage his parents left off on.

[@MS-ql8ek]

When u dropped the black balls on jaws i literally thought u shitted on him lol

[@michaelphillips7556]

Cool playthrough. I remember playing this for the first time around the late 90's, i was young and i could never beat this game. Lol.

[@a181570s]

Love these videos

[@krazydave217]

Hey Lord Kayoss, I love your video playthroughs. They are very entertaining. By the way the black balls that drop from the plane and the submarine I believe are called depth charges, but I'm not 100 percent positive on that

[@lordkayoss]

I got a look at the manual some time later and they are simply referred to as "bombs". But, I agree that depth charges would be more logical. Glad you enjoy the videos! 🍻

[@Asterra2]

Fun fact: If you play Jaws in a save-state capacity and are trying to successfully hit every jellyfish in each bonus stage, it's not long before it is literally impossible to get a perfect. The game wasn't tested thoroughly enough to catch that flaw.

[@Thetazord]

That’s two games now that you’ve demolished with ease that I never could figure out as a kid. Thank you for showing me my ignorance. LoL. For real though thank you for these videos. Awesome job with all of these games. You’re great.

[@lordkayoss]

Thank you, Kind Sir! I appreciate that. These old school playthroughs are my favorite thing to do.

[@zitzblitz123]

dude you make awesome videos

[@MattYpee8]

Another beauty !!!

[@paulpagani182]

I enjoy your video man.

[@DravenPat]

Rofl you finally kill jaws and you don't sail away on a boat you fly away on a plane.

[@Tigerman1138]

Out of no where one day I downloaded an NES emulator for this game and only this game. I loved it and i am a SEGA kid.

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

Another great video sir. Thank you for making it. I could listen to you do commentary on people doing laundry, but I would prefer videogames. Keep up the great work and Im begging you to make more please.

[@Rickm2003]

The baby shark in J3, died in the display tank. Didn’t have enough oxygen flowing thru it’s gills.

[@mikey-likesmovies.9185]

I like in the game for ps2 how you played as jaws

[@BenJabituya]

I could never beat Jaws on the Nintendo. I vacationed on my high school senior trip and I defeated Jaws! Then I said, "I don't need to play. I LIVED IT!"

[@raytay2668]

Got any robocop reviews??

[@jharvey62778]

The black balls where depth charges if I remember correctly

[@jamesgibas2836]

We're going to need a bigger boat lol

[@scottywarren3498]

Have a good day fish lmao brilliant

[@FinalWarsGodjira]

So the young great white was in Jaws 3, but it died in that movie before the mother really let her presents know.

[@katiecadigan7596]

can you please do more videos like these!!

[@jamesremington8056]

it has a lot of Atari game charm honestly. this looks like 6 Atari games sewn together. maybe that's why I liked it

[@marklemaster4707]

I had this game, but never could figure out what to do!! I hope you can explain it

[@LeQuack147]

The minisub is fun, even if you do a bit of extra legwork to get it. Also, yeah, F the jellyfish,

[@FenderXT]

That is one wierd game, but kind of ok. Like the ending to!

[@Brandon-r1d]

Always had a hard time with the strobe part...it would always miss

[@DanJay1983]

When fighting Jaws, you can just sit at the very top of the water and hit him and he goes right under you and can’t touch you. It’s an easy cheat.

[@dethaddr]

Funny how Nintendo of America, which didn't like realistic blood in games, let the killing blow of Jaws be in red.

[@GamingRoomOficial]

make more old games playthroughs!

[@KaijisFingers]

isnt there a nightmare on elm street nes

[@ElectricWalkman]

Could you do nightmare on elm street? You probably get that requested a lot.

[@raytay2668]

Played this a lot, if u swim up all the way to the top you can avoid being hit by jaws sr, doesn't work for jr tho

[@eldercool]

hey kayoss the black balls r depth charges

[@riversutcliffe9520]

Jaw 3 was 3d, cool vid

[@roweshowtactical]

How do ram him after you strobe him? It’s baffling me right now

[@lordkayoss]

After you bring him up with the strobe, ram him with the front of the bow with the A button when his underbelly is centered/near-centered.

[@roweshowtactical]

@@lordkayoss Yeah, I just played it for like six hours, killed jaws a bunch but couldn’t figure out how to stab him at the end. I had him lined up, hit the strobes he popped up I hit a and I didn’t do anything. I don’t know.. Do you have to wait for him to spin around and see the white on his belly? Maybe I am ramming him too soon?

[@lordkayoss]

Actually, thinking about it, it might be B. Whichever button brings him up with the strobe, the other button rams him. Yeah, you wanna wait till his white underbelly is facing you.

[@roweshowtactical]

@@lordkayoss that did it. Got him. Thx man. My kids were PUMPED

[@lordkayoss]

@@roweshowtactical Right on, Man! Np 🍻

[@russellj.s.257]

I always liked this game along with The Karate Kid I just couldn't being a Jason fan really like Friday the 13th for NES I got that for my eleventh birthday and was not impressed.

[@Gamerstan80]

I love this game but as a kid I could never figuer out how to beat it

[@rdchili69]

Battletoads is more difficult than Back to the Future, yet is beloved. I find the more difficult games to be better.

[@westingtyler1]

probably has to do with how obtuse the rules are or aren't. battletoads is fun, bttf not as much.

[@guzzlord2022]

This game is cool

[@noname-ot7vd]

LJN games get a bad rep, but I really like JAWS on the NES. Its simple and fun.

[@saltystick_99]

I don't want to sound like one of those kinds of people, but Jaws on NES is genuinely an underrated games. The best NES game? Not even close, but it's nowhere near a horrid abomination on the NES that people make it out to be.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

When you're on the boat, it's first person, not 3rd person. The first part of the game, when you're a diver, is 3rd person.

[@mercury71822]

Whoa sorry man. The baby shark in Jaws 3 does not survive. It dies after being put into a freshwater tank towards the end of the movie.

[@lordcolinb]

😊 jaws 4 rocks, roaring shark

[@josebalan26]

was the old video game

[@raytay2668]

Doesn't*

I think the only LJN left is nightmare on elm street. btw I love LJN games as well just how bad there games are lol XD

[@BuccaneerBruce]

Terrible movie.. but the video game was fun. Great video.

[@G0NZ-b9y]

Ha, no challenge? Have you ever ventured on the corners of the map rather than the easy zones?

[@lordkayoss]

Challenge accepted 😎: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKXdfWeemNKEd8k

[@G0NZ-b9y]

@@lordkayoss well done, I barely survived those corners full of sharks, 2 to 3 little ones at the time back in the 80s, and my thumb sored (no turbo auto shot) thanks for the memories

[@lordkayoss]

@@G0NZ-b9y Yes Sir! Thank you for putting this game back into my mind, as it reminded me I had yet to do a higher quality video on it. Cheers, my friend! 🍻

[@chrisevans9779]

so simple
