King's Quest V (NES) Playthrough

[@NintendoComplete]

For as much as it'll scar your eyes, this demake of King's Quest V pulls off something that really shouldn't have been possible on the NES. Super impressive!

[@metallicJrocker]

I actually thought this looked great! (Yes considering the console it’s running on). Would have loved this back in the day cuz I sadly missed it .🙂

[@nickthefox1998]

the DOS version is better

[@NintendoComplete]

@@nickthefox1998 I would hope so since a PC with a CD drive would've cost 15-20x the amount that an NES did.

[@lilstinker1949]

@@nickthefox1998 you thought this was a slam dunk didn’t you

[@Kroggnagch]

I agree. I played this on the old windows 98 version family home PC lol and it was very beautiful for the time. Cedric was always a fuckin clown .

[@ferchos1313]

Wow. The adaptation itself is an art in its own right.

[@Train313]

3:23 GAME OVER: Wow that fairy dust was surely expired, it flatted you right to the core!

[@tomflorczakjr.5353]

I have this for NES. I'm 40 now. So much nostalgia!

[@Dorian_Scott]

*_"Ah. Life giving water. Nectar of the gods. Graham can now feel strength flowing within him."_*

[@NintendoComplete]

"King Graham, heavy of heart, searches far and wide for his beloved family who've been stolen by an evil wizard."

[@NintendoComplete]

So many great quotes from this!

[@SparkpadArt]

Or as it's phrased in this version: *"Ah! The cool water felt wonderful on Graham's parched lips and his body now feels rejuvenated."*

[@ammosophobia]

Watch out! A poisonous snake!

[@NintendoComplete]

@@ammosophobia Yes! I've dead-ended my game more than once just so I could leave Cedric to bleed out on the harpy island. Without him, Mordack's spell at the end of the game hits and kills you. Totally worth it 😆

[@Train313]

8:17 “Gram watch out! a poisonous Snake!” 22:09 “Gram watch out! a poisonous Bear!” 1:21:10 “Gram watch out! a poisonous Brid!”

I have a real soft spot for NES adventure games. Something about them is more appealing to me than their superior PC versions.

[@larrylaffer3246]

Amazing how much game they could fit on a little NES cartridge. Like this was high profile CD title and they more or less got everything on there. Sure it's missing the CD Audio, Synthesized Speech, and SVGA Graphics. But they didn't cut out the gameplay or levels. I've seen ports of other games that went from comparable hardware that cut more out.

[@zaxele]

It's really marvellous.

I love how arbitrarily the peasants will just murder a king. Sneak into a kitchen? That's a murdering.

[@hectorsaavedra9071]

he estado buscando este juego desde que tengo memoria, lo tenía a la edad de 7 años, en inglés, yo hablo español, no entendía nada en ese momento y era uno de mis objetivos a cumplir, el poder encontrar, jugar y pasar este juego, gracias por subirlo

[@burnsy96]

The menu be like: 🏌️🚶👁️👄🤚🔳💼M🎵

[@samc.1080]

Thanks for playing this on the NES. I remember trying to play this game when I was a kid. Didn't really get that far.

[@bigduke5902]

I didn't have home access to a PC until 1999 and had next to no knowledge of anything outside Atari, NES and Genesis (and arcades, of course) when I was a kid in the 80s, so when I first played Maniac Mansion and Shadowgate (I can't remember which was first), it was like a whole new world had opened up to me (where it's flesh became my key). In fact, I remember thinking Maniac Mansion was like that game the kid Tom Hanks plays in the movie Big and being really excited because that game seemed so cool. Man, I wish I had had the chance to rent this one, but alas it never appeared in my area. I'd have absolutely loved it. Years later, my mom rented me a SEGA CD (yeah the whole unit) along with a couple of games for Thanksgiving break and Secret of Monkey Island was one of them. Hey, this is like Maniac Mansion! Thanks, mom!

[@JamesSmith-fl2ky]

I had no idea this existed. Really interesting. I had the original DOS version on 5 1/4" floppy.

[@NintendoComplete]

Iirc my version was on 3.5" DD floppies, but that might be because I had a Tandy and was playing the version that could dither the graphics down to 16 colors. It was a 286/8, and it was soooo slow. The scenes themselves ran fine, but since I only had 640k of ram, I had to listen to the whine of the hard card for a good 20 seconds or so every time it had to load a new screen. I loved it :) I remember a few times trying to play it straight from the floppies and the load times were ridiculous. I dunno how Amiga owners coped!

[@roc2256]

A lot of effort has been put into producing this game. I have it think i only played it once tbh

[@GAnimeRO]

How come this isn't one of the more well known NES games? Afterall, it's amazing how long it is and that they managed to keep all of the story and gameplay in it.

[@aliciaredfort9312]

31:30 What we all came here for...

[@sixfootfive6556]

I can't believe this game worked on the NES! I loved these on the PC.

[@kylederksen2903]

This is peak NES gaming 😂

[@RiffRock51]

This is how good Konami was. If there was one company to take on the difficult task of porting an advanced PC game (for the era) like KQV to the 8-bit NES and doing an admirable job of it, it was them. This is as faithful a reproduction of KQV is as possible for the NES. Imagine if LJN was responsible for the port!

[@JFTC709]

This was actually developed by Appaloosa Interactive, who also did Ecco the Dolphin. Konami was the publisher

[@RaposaCadela]

Honestly just... what the HELL is this doing on the NES??!

[@mopbrothers]

Amazing the amount of story telling that could be done on the NES. NES graphics are so ugly, yet so beautiful.

[@МАГИЯРЕТРО]

Thanks cool game!

[@BB-te8tc]

I love the sound font in this.

[@artstechnology7809]

Nostalgia 😢😥😭

[@JaredGenesis444]

incredably elaborate i'll give them that. still yikes..not sure about this one.

[@Kerveros1904]

excellent graphics considering the capabilities of the console!

[@ammosophobia]

I can't believe I actually beat this as a kid.

[@JhongSoriano-t5g]

BETTER GET A NEW HAMMER! GAME OVER!

[@alephricardo100]

A somehow curious game.

[@gulgul2006]

10:18 - that guy isn't there on my version.

[@Train313]

YOU CAN PLAY THIS WITH A SCREEN THAT IS THE SIZE OF A IPAD

[@valeriazaragoza375]

One of the worst ports of all time, but such a solid game nonetheless.

[@WaterMusic34]

Where is Trogdor

[@NintendoComplete]

Probably off burninating some peasants.

[@LunaticEdit]

Too soon.

[@Eazy-ERyder]

Was the NES version THAT bad??This is ridiculously Horrible to watch; not the game though, for I remember the Computer version looking much much Better..

[@LEXRAPS]

The original was great on PC, but this version was straight ass!

[@mdshahid1536]

Bro please play fighting game please bro

[@pencil377]

Ah yes,i remember when a filthy muslim comes and kills an innocent unarmed man in the desert. Very realistic game.
