NES Longplay [596] Hudson's Adventure Island

[@nononever3592]

Such memories of my mother staying up all night playing this game. She was great but she'd always get killed on the final level and have to start over from the beginning. I've never seen the final level before so this (and the music) were great. Mom's been gone for almost 26 years now, but I kinda feel she enjoyed her favorite game one more time thanks to this channel.

[@hydraheads]

i relate to this kind of experience and your comment hit me right in the feels ;-;

[@hronaxe1912]

Haha, the same story with my mom. She didn't usually like playing games, but this game was the one she always played with me when I was little.

[@muhammadtoharizmanbinsulai853]

My condolences upon you mate

[@KevinPheiffer]

This is one memory of my mother that I have too. Same game, same experience.

[@devill2312]

well my mother finish the all game she was pro in tihs but i never finish her like her for me the game was hard

[@charmellevanwyk2643]

This is my most favorite game of all time...I'm 40 now...bought myself this game in Jan and it took me all the way back to the 90's...and I must say I'm still as good 😉

[@The_Mimewar]

I wanna see a HUMAN beat 8-3

[@Scorpion_13131]

Finally, after 10 years of being curious, I saw this game's ending lol

[@ultraspinalki11]

You should check out the PS2 remake that only came out in Japan. Offers the same fun but diversifies the bosses and adds new enemies!

[@rellman85]

For some reason my memories of playing this game were mostly on Sunday nights, so I sort of associate it with that weird/melancholy feeling of not wanting the weekends to end.

[@N0Xa880iUL]

Aww 🥹

[@harqalada65]

Glad to know that I wasn't the only one who thought this game was impossible as a kid. At 6:38 I always thought that guy was the final boss till one day I beat him and realized I wasn't even close to the end lol

[@crewrangergaming9582]

and back then I did not have any way to save progress so it all had to be done in one sprint, and damn if the electricity went out... oof

[@floramerano6293]

It is one of the most hardest games in NES.

[@ericthiel4053]

Dude I had this game and spent about 2 years trying to beat it and never made it close to the end. I was 7 or 8 and used to get so frustrated lol. It's was so cool yet so defeating......

[@davidschmidt1997]

Rhino Boss is first boss in Hudson's Adventure Island.

[@johnathanweber4271]

When i was 6-8 years old me and my mom and brother played this game a lot. I have such an emotional tie. My mom never played games with me so it was special I remember just staring at her with a huge smile on my face. 😢

[@ytheUltimate]

Someone : dark souls is so hard. Hudson : amateurs

[@weakneerose7614]

Both games are hard but today’s games are fair unlike old NES games where we go back to the start of the game after couple death. Imagine playing Dark Souls but without saves and let us start from the beginning.

[@kaboomgamer333]

Yeah. I was going through my WiiMendafen game library, and i saw adventure island. I thought it was going to be a baby game. It was not. I only got halfway through WITH save states!

[@jayceoncohen6339]

a trick : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

[@fisheralaric692]

@Jayceon Cohen yea, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself =)

[@tonyp9313]

@@weakneerose7614 New games are a lot harder. If you played any new game from start to finish and had the same rules as retro limited lives and continues. You wouldn't beat 1 new gen game. The reason people beat new games is because there are check points every where and the game saves after you have done a level or areas of the game.

[@jonasking9587]

I left this game on pause, at level 8, while my fam and I went to Potomac Mills (a big ass mall on the east coast). My aunt saw that we left the system on...and turned it off.

[@malanrizki2168]

OMG!... *cries*

[@blujay1608]

I can't even imagine frustration. I had a friend with an SNES playroom, and he kept his SNES running for three days while I was stuck in MK1 at Goro. I couldn't beat it, so he turned it off lol

My condolences!

[@electron2601]

Gosh I remember renting this game and thinking level 2-2 was far. I couldn't get past that.

[@tonycuevas7127]

This guy is a true Master. Countless hours of practice I'm sure. I was able to make it to the last boss, but never was able to defeat him or rescue his girlfriend. That was good enough for me lol

[@Bloodreign1]

It's all about savestates, no skills involved. Even the longplayers themselves will tell you this. These videos are about more showing the history of gaming, not so much skill.

[@CrystalCollector-g4n]

I played this many times in the early 90s, I remember the farthest i reached was stage 5 I just stop the game because I thought its going over and over again. All my childhood friends and child neighbors play this too and none of them exceeded stage 5

Yes, if you touch a enemy once, you are dead. You get 3 continues only.

[@squashhead1374]

This game takes me back to my childhood. I vividly remember playing this game in my living room on a rainy day. The door was open and the cold air was rushing in. My sisters boyfriend got me the game when he came back from the fishing boats in Alaska.

I can understand completely why it took so long to feature this game. Hudson Soft made by far the hardest platformers on the NES.

[@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000]

Novaura Autism yeah because the part when you tried to skid and you fall of the platform, It is too damn slipperly!!!!! what were they thinking?!?! it is like startropics were you try to run away from these skeleton ostrich and it delays when you try to skid and turn right or left, they killed you like bull crap!!!! I hate when nes games does that!!!!

[@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000]

Novaura Autism well im guessing that they're trying to make it look very realistic and logical but shouldn't they make it too easy for your opportunity make it through? For Example; Super Mario Bros does has skids but it is very easy to not to die and slipped off a platform and Contra has no skids so that's awesome and Zelda II: the adventures of link has The same thing as Mario too. Why not Them?!?!? :O

[@OverseerMoti]

Hudson Soft is the past, platformer counterpart of nowadays' From Software, I'd say.

[@yusakug]

Despite how frustrating this game was, there was something so addictive about it, just like the best NES titles of the time. To this day. I am convinced that the programmers somehow were able to inject drugs into our veins through the NES controller, which made us want to just keep on playing, no matter how much punishment it dished out to us.

[@gi6022]

It is the sound/music that hooks you... There was a study about it.😂

[@b.brodriguez7181]

I played this when i was like 7 and never made it to stage 3 but i remember keep going back to this game again and again. Its like the dev made me addicted to losing :')

[@electron2601]

i bet a lot of the japanese programers who programed these games had daul majors: masters in computer science and masters in psycology.

[@sayanbarik6065]

In spite of this game trolling me in so many spots, it is still one of my favorite platformers to play, to this day.

[@electron2601]

Good job!!!

[@maldpotato497]

Until this day, those frogs would remind me on how hard this game was...

[@VahanNisanian]

Hard as fuck game. Those three Bats in 8-3 are the most brutal and sadistic thing I have ever seen in a platforming game. The Japanese "Super Mario Bros. 2", which also came out in 1986, is child's play compared to this.

[@haseo8244]

You must had sore fingers after playing this.

[@Tonguefunsome]

+Vahan Nisanian It was a MF! What pissed me was my sister finished the game before me! Her eye hand coordination was impeccable! I still have this game and my grand-kids tried their hand at it but they're used to the new games and didn't have much patience with this.They told me Pops this game's too hard. I still play games even at 63 and enjoy them as much as I did when I was younger! I'm playing Dark Souls 3 currently and have loved all the Fromsoftware games! Too bad they say this is the last Souls game!

[@b.s.6728]

Tonguefunsome you're only a couple years younger than my grandma but the most I could get her into is candy crush and card game apps. Atari 2600 came out 41 years ago, so you were already a young adult, I'm surprised you got into it. Most early gamers got into it by growing up with 2600 and NES as children from what I understand. I'd be interested to hear some stories about gaming culture back then from someone who was actually into it

[@tonyp9313]

Wonder Boy on Master system is a lot better than this game. It's not impossible and it gets a bit hard at 10-2. This game I feel like if you lose a weapon good luck trying to go through a level. I don't know what they were thinking to make this way harder than Wonder Boy but man this game is trash. I went to 8-2... Died on that level. So now I got to do the whole level without touching an enemy. Very hard as they are all over the place. I just quit the game when I tried like 30 times over.

[@Rob-rx3jw]

Haven't played this game in like 25 years and i still get anxiety just from watching this.

When I was little, I watched my brother play this game on our Nintendo. I always referred to Master Higgins as "Baseball Hat Fred Flintstone", until I learned his real name in elementary school. I was a weird kid.

[@Fire-Black_Tiger]

Until now, I'm amazed at how I long ago managed to go through this endless and painful game without an emulator, that is, on a TV. It is unlikely that when I will review it, I can do it again. However, this entertaining videoploth is able to intrigue on the first circle, but once you have snatched the snout of the leader at the end of the dark forest and the circles ask to be cut to the point of insanity, you can not break it for one reason - a set of nerves and time spent, brothers , time and nerves.

[@milotgarcia0426]

This was one of the NES' most difficult game AF

[@elcocolio]

I could NEVER beat this game. You make it seem soooooo easy... But that is because you memorized it. With the exception of 4 mistakes (in the 7th stage that cost you a couple of lives and a couple of trap eggs you took), the timing and precision in every move/jump/shot you made was perfect. You also knew where the trap eggs and the bonus pots were at. I also noticed you tried to kill every foe and eat every fruit. Hence, I infer this video shows a speedrun with those 2 conditions.
