This is basically Mystery Science Lagoon 3000 with PJ and friends while a speedrun happens in the background. Haha. It's amazing. I'm glad you called in some friends to commentate about the run, it reminds me of AwfulGDQ.

[@skins4thewin]

More like Beavis & Butthead commentating on a bad music video.

[@KeithCrescenzi]

PJ please get the guys together to commentate over another speedrun! This is one of the best speedrun commentaries I've ever heard, and you're one of the funniest speedrunners I know of. Please please please make commentary like this for some of your other runs!

[@SycosenMerihem]

"the guys" don't humanize his puppets.

[@Ghestahl2006]

PJ, definitely feeling gammers frustration with that ice boss, or the game in general. it is pretty satisfying beating it though, but you have accurately described the game in the commentary and had a lot of fun with your videos. hope you post more. Kudos man!

[@XclusiveXbox]

1:08:35 This is absolutely insane, PJ is a brave (stupid?) man for running this game. Absolute hands down one of the best runs ever.

[@deonthomas7192]

Best and most entertaining speed runs ever PJ!!

[@XclusiveXbox]

CONGRATS ON 100K SUBS! Perfect run to celebrate this fantastic milestone too.

[@Red88Rex]

I'm really impressed by your extensive knowledge of this game. I thought I was the only one who cared so much (I've played the Sharp x68k version several times too). :)

[@AwkwardAndInnocent]

Great run as always, PJ

[@BigScaryGames]

The final boss fight in this game reminds me of trying to play modern warfare online - it's like swimming in a sea of bullets while grenades and napalm rain down from above. If only this boss could spawn minions BEHIND you, the analogy would be complete. :) Liked the music in this game as a kid, absolutely hated the tiny sword.

[@Aladato]

The bosses death sound is the elephant from Dhalsim's stage, lol.

[@Ghestahl2006]

Special kudos to you PJ for pulling off that difficult run. I never actually beat this game b/c i rage quit as a kid, but now I might take another stab at it... (maybe...) ha ha

[@redmercer4158]

Every time I start up this video and hear "Uh, hello. You're watching 'Lagoon'" I hear an implied "WHY?" after that

[@Itosalix]

This is one a very few games I could not beat. Got to the last *last* boss and just could not do it. It was the speed, the shortness of your reach, no temporary invincibility (after taking damage), bad hit box detection. Maybe 2-3 of those I could, but all 4 in conjunction, nope. Even with the shiny ball from Voloh, of which I would rebuy after traversing back every. single. time. You know, until you couldn't [go back]. I didn't know about that ring trick... well, I'm not picking the game up again. I will give it some credit, I did like the (breathtaking ;) ) graphics of that time... especially the later magic. The armor pieces are nice, if you don't skip getting them. And some music was actually pretty good, Siegfried's Castle, Gnome Plain/Ice Cave. Although if you listen to the game over screen for long enough, the music seemed kinda upbeat. And the ability to save anywhere except in boss fights, as you said, was a nice feature. All in all, it was a half-baked attempt by borrowing ideas from other RPG's. Score 4. Replayability: 0 But at least game gives you pot. Secret of Evermore is a better choice if you want something slightly off-the-beaten path.

[@RexManningDay69]

That Thor-bird looks fucking terrifying.

[@AAFcommander]

ikr, thor has step 2, he has a problem

[@DeathofChrono]

I don't know why, but I have a strange fascination with this game. I love the music, but hate the fighting. I love the nostalgia, but hate the story. Even despite that...I still want to play this game again. Curse you childhood. CURSE YOU FOR MAKING ME LOVE A BAD GAME SO MUCH!

[@AAFcommander]

sir, you have step 2..

[@KhazWolf]

I still don't plan to let Dragon View die. :P This was great to watch, lol, thanks!

[@BigScaryGames]

Regarding dungeons that are easy to get lost in - I remember a NES game called Faria where every dungeon is a ridiculous tangle of rooms.

[@Fallout2Forever]

Wow, this was really entertaining. Thanks!

[@DarkShadowRage]

So glad someone speed ran this game, i'd like to see this at the next AGDQ

[@XclusiveXbox]

Watching for a 3rd time, so good.

[@AAFcommander]

I know right, me too, I have the step 2 illness

[@chocobro7]

A+ run on a hard ass game pj

[@AAFcommander]

A M E N

[@neveza]

The game looks so much like Book of Ys. The only difference seems to be the battle mechanic. Nice run and commentary.

[@Red88Rex]

+neveza Actually the original game had the same combat, holding out the sword and charging at enemies ;)

[@XArimor2390]

Lol'ing so hard at the intro. PJ sounds confused as fuck.-"I am..PJ?"

[@redmercer4158]

I think more of these speedruns need commentary, especially stuff like this which practically nobody actually played back in the day

[@TheEverythingMan62]

AGDQ TOMORROW! yeah!

[@TheCodedtestament]

This old-fashioned RPG is actually a lot of fun to play-once you get past the totally basic look of it. It doesn't have that your turn-my turn battle feature, which to me gets too repetitive, The bosses are not too difficult, but getting to them is a challenge. It is primarily maze-based play, finding doors, talking, etc. Give it a try, it' really is a decent game..

[@KeithCrescenzi]

For anyone that sees this on my page, right from "Lake Land has a drinking problem," this commentary kills.

[@BLITZCR33D]

Shout out to Ray!

[@Mori_Wish]

I know right!? Perfect timing for his video.

[@PtoPOnline]

I believe on the final bird thing you can stand in one corner and nail him over and over again. It has been more than 10 years since I last tried, but that was my technique to beat him as I couldn't do it any other way.

[@Jazzypants2007]

3 years later, I realize, but... Specifically, it's a little out from the left wall, about halfway up the chamber. Stand there and start jumping/swinging, you'll avoid most of his shots and manage to hit him. If i knew that as a kid, last night wouldn't have been only the second time I beat this game.

[@Lukands]

Looked up Don Ellis' version of Hey Jude because of this. That shit was really good; will have to look into Don Ellis more.

[@AAFcommander]

1:05 I have survived step one multiple times & I'm still facing step two due to the fact that I continue to return to watch this, so it won't be necessary to get a problem, I already found it, I have a problem >,

[@BluBoulzor]

This game is like Ys V if Ys V was made by Ljn. Man can't believe the offscreen enemies attack, ZOOM Inc. what the hell were u thinking??? It looks like this game is made of '' That one boss'' all over the place what the hell

[@etiennehenry3081]

why do u specifically save at the clouds?

[@Atma505]

Etienne henry He says at one point that he did it by instinct because he's died so many times at those jumps. He didn't even mean to do it, lol

[@THEFRISKIESTDINGO]

500 of these views are mine :)

[@gorillify]

I remember being this one of the most unfair and unbalanced games ever. I've played through this regularly over the years, mainly because I've always enjoyed the music. But Nasir's sword... honestly this game wouldn't be nearly as tough if he had a longer range. And it's strange how some bosses, just by luck alone, can be the easiest bosses in the game and absolutely wreck you other time.

[@Red88Rex]

+GamesquadSquad Check out the original version on the Sharp x68000. Combat is much different. I did a playthrough on my channel if you're interested.

[@brograb898]

Step one is getting a problem!

[@Ragesauce]

You can't remove the PJ's Channel no matter how hard you try -_-

[@SpeedDemosArchiveSDA]

turn off annotations;)

[@Ragesauce]

nuuuuuuuuuuu
