Joe & Mac (SNES)

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

Dude, you killed it! Joe and Mac was originally made for arcades, so it was a classic quarter muncher. This game is no joke, you played it really well, kudos!

[@ninjasec]

yup

[@Ahzafera]

yup

[@michaelrnahas4425]

You have to open the red eggs with no enemies on the screen to get to bonus areas to get keys

[@CyberFoxy87]

Some eggs if you hit them from far away will become bonus levels If you attack the egg close, that egg that was going to be a bonus level just becomes an item

[@petermuir7861]

You have to kill all people on screen and sit there for a second and if u hit it u get the pink one. Oh ya its the red eggs that give ya bonus levels.... I played this too much lol

[@fullmanamusic]

@@petermuir7861both of these are perfect examples of why I love old video game nonsense. Made reading manuals totally justified

[@David-jx4gw]

On level 2 the water spouts count as an enemy and needs to be despawned before breaking egg to get the bonus.

I keep saying “the wheel is strongest” but for some reason he cannot hear me. lol.

[@Kevinsyel]

is it the wheel deal?

[@Matthew10950]

​@@Kevinsyelit wheelie is.

[@Krang_e_Shreddy]

I thought the fire was actually the strongest weapon in terms of attack power so maybe the wheel is second strongest...

[@bafbegagglestick6241]

This was fun to watch, but the best thing was when you said you were gonna play more Demon's Crest, I am VERY excited for more,

[@drearmouse9510]

Right? So epic when ya finally get to combine all the crests & get the secret ending. fkin love that game!

DUUUDEEE YOU DID IT!! I’ never thought you would. I asked for it a long time ago and am suprised that others are too!. Yesss thank you bro love ya. This is the best of the Joe and Mac games imo. My dad and I could never beat it but I came back later and did a few times.

[@DETHTWUKTAUR]

Love your excitement (>'.')^ wish i could get my brother and sister to waste a saturday with me doing cool stuff like this

[@west3Dgaming]

Getting more of the same power up is a multiplier. Notice sometimes you can throw 3 wheels back to back but sometimes only 2

[@IsamuKunX]

“There’s stuff everywhere!!!” 1 rock rolls by on screen

yes probably for a moment he had a deja-vù and he thought he was playing a hot garbage level in Mario Maker again 😂

[@smug_bedbug]

Used to rent this all the time. Love this game. Fun Fact, there is an NES version of this game.

[@LLockey]

This game really shines on 2-player Mode, there are some amazing interactions when playing with your buddy.

[@Cadrid]

This is the type of game that would be enhanced with a Tammy cameo. A Tammy-oh?

[@vainbelmont6645]

Back then, 1h, 40$ game. Let that sink in.

[@grimmSOL]

$70+ for Japan imports. $60 for bigger name games. $40ish was for more lesser known titles.

UN Squadron on SNES was incredible and fun!

[@burzumtetris620]

Earthworm Jim and Kid Chameleon are going to be my recommendation every video btw. Groovy! Edit: Darkstone for PS1 is an awesome diablo type game

[@thefuturetom]

we all have good memories of Earthworm Jim as kids as it was like playing a videogame equivalent of Cow & Chicken or Ren and Stimpy, but it sadly does not hold up.

[@drewfromyay882]

​@@thefuturetomthat's definitely not true

[@tetermc]

He's already played Earthworm Jim. I have nostalgia for Kid Chameleon but let's not kid ourselves, the game aged unbelievably poorly lol. There's still a kind of novelty about it though being kind of a Sega version of Mario.

[@burzumtetris620]

Ah sweet nostalgia lol I remember Boogerman being incredible too I wonder how it holds up?

[@burzumtetris620]

​​@@tetermche played Earthworm Jim 2. Total ripoff, and Kid Chameleon fucking rocks

[@TheBeird]

Played this in the Arcades, where it was known as Caveman Ninja. Never got around to the home console versions

[@tuazulyrojoeljean]

Cave ninja, lol. That reminded me of the place where I used to play SNES people called battletoads ninja toads.

[@tr984]

Krustys Super Funhouse is hard AF. It’s a puzzle game

[@JBKiser]

The title, then the game screen grab in the thumbnail, and now Ryu's pic in the thumbnail, have all changed one at a time since this video was initially uploaded. I just find that interesting.

[@tetermc]

Rayman 1, I'm telling ya. Gorgeous, fun, difficult. The perfect Ryu game.

[@jwatsey1478]

I broke my ps1 over the final boss. Not my greatest moment...

[@tetermc]

@@jwatsey1478 Hahaha yeah I was furious at some parts, especially the level where you have to jump across inner tubes and fish. Man is that level frustratingly difficult.

[@LeSkateWA]

I think he played it already? Not sure but that game is ridiculously hard.

You went through the entire game without ever using the charged attack 😂

[@nugzplayz605]

Love the vids! Bucky O'Hare for NES would be cool. Cheers Ryu!

[@JBKiser]

I love that both the title of the video and the thumbnail has changed since this was posted.

[@crystallchannel]

the different girl on each level! yeah, collect you own harem!

[@dlcook]

This game holds so much nostalgia for me. Nice to see you play it.

[@ikedogman1]

Nostalgia explosion in my brain. I totally forgot this game existed. I used to play it with my Mom when I was a kid. I love this game. It’s funny because you said it reminds you of Adventure Island which is another game my Mom loved and it always reminded me of it as well.

[@andreupelachs115]

What a funny game to see you playing! Great video. Also, you made my day when you said you will be playing the rest of Demon's Crest! Great!

[@Joe-Angel]

U.N. Squadron is a good one and short as well. Great flying game.

[@starpetalarts6668]

A good retro style game you'd love is called Cathedral.

[@songsan807]

This was supposed to be a 2 player game that is why it would be much easier and quicker to wear down the bosses. Used to play this game with my younger brother or cousins after school. Makes it super tough with just 1 player.

[@msrockinrobin08]

I love this game! Used to play this all the time with my grandma and we always had a blast!

[@laithanmorisco-tarr8363]

Omg, I played this so much growing up as a kid! Proper nostalgia bomb.

[@flakyfan1496]

Brooo! Straight into hard mode and one shot! No debunking required dude you are amazing! Took me weeks, I think the hard mode didn’t change much tho! At least other people found it difficult too and you had fun and got to knock it out haha

[@Wucc2caz]

omg I love Joe and Mac. I beat this tons of times as a kid.....SO GOOD

[@Khaozreigns]

As a kid my top 5 most played SNES games were Zelda: ALTTP, Super Mario World, Castlevania 4, Super Ghouls N Ghosts and Joe & Mac lol, I love this game, such good memories playing it with my siblings in much happier times.

[@tr984]

16:48 it’s Onyx from Pokémon 😂

[@Jrizzle7426]

One of my all time favorite snes games. I've had it since I was a kid and go back to it quite a bit. I'll never forget the first time I beat the demon just for him to have a 2nd stage.

[@supergrendel]

I remember my mom taking me and a friend on vacation to Las Vegas when I was about 9 years old. It rained the entire time and so we rented this game from Blockbuster and played it for hours on end. 2 player is fun!

[@cujomiller]

Pocky and Rocky, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, and Hagane are the three I had the most fun with on the SNES outside the big name franchises

[@Fullmetal85]

"That dinosaur is so stupid, just fell in the lava. You idiot!" Then Ryu, the bully, proceeds to fall in the lava as well. Karma achieved.

[@BmanHall1]

RECOMMENDATION: The Chaos Engine (AKA Soldiers of Fortune on SNES) Underrated gem in my opinion and VERY difficult towards the end. I think it could make for a great video.

[@mikegamerofsparta]

i love playing this game with my sister back in the day we had alot of fun.

[@ninjasec]

a classic, fond rental memories of this and the sequel

[@chrisrj9871]

I played this game one week as a rental before my mom rented Final Fantasy "II" (IV). As an 11 year old, and having played Mario World and this game which both had map screens, I thought FF4's map screen was going to take me to a side-scrolling level... it took me to a random battle and I thought it was a level but they stood there! RPG's weren't big for USA children. Fortunately I grew into it and it became one of my defining traits by the next year.

[@pumpkinking1107]

I know it'd be long, but Blaster Master was always a favorite

[@ThomasTodd-m5g]

Got to try Bionic Commando on the NES. I remember it being a fun but very challenging game.

[@mattb6522]

This a fun little gem on the SNES! The arcade version is probably the best version of this game, with the Genesis version having some differences to the SNES that make it a more faithful arcade port. The Genesis version is slightly harder than the SNES version in general, you can actually stomp enemies to kill them, you can charge up your weapons to make them more powerful, it has a couple extra weapons, and it also has an exclusive level that is strangely absent from the SNES version (a dinosaur-riding level). Also, if you like Joe & Mac, there is a semi-obscure game on the Sega Genesis called *Toki: Going Ape Spit* You play an ape in that can collect and spit out different weapons. It has a similar tone to this game and is actually even more challenging (1-hit deaths). Worth checking out, if you get the chance!

[@TheSavageChimiChanga]

You should play Deja Vu or Shadow Gate.

[@ThornePleiades]

The jumping mechanic killed me so many times. This definitely brings back childhood memories.

[@somethinggeeky]

I loved this game as a kid. Remember that the wheel was the best weapon, hardest to use, but best.

[@Spoon8lld]

This was one of the first games I ever owned! I haven't seen these levels for like 20 years, this was great

[@Ebani]

Only thing is that this game is meant to be played co-op which makes it a much more dynamic experience and something later games focused more on, this is a great introduction game to the franchise

[@bobby4tw]

Game from this era was something else and many of them still holds up. It's crazy when you think about it

[@MarMaxGaming]

Absolutely LOVE Joe & Mac. Grew up with it on the Super Nintendo… If you want more of a challenge, play it on NES, Genesis, and toughest of all… the gameboy

[@Vuweatherman25]

You could also make a series of arcade games. You have the skills and they have the challenge. Something like karnov or Toki for example, two of the really difficult games for someone to finish.
