Nightmare Ned 20th Anniversary 100% Walkthrough + Extras!

[@thelongafternoon4209]

This was one of the most disturbing and difficult games I had when I was a kid. I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do, and just wandered around these nightmares aimlessly. It really was like a nightmare. Atmosphere gets an A+... For some reason I woke up today and thought of this game so I came and KZbind it.

[@ryandeopante5317]

1 year later but SAME…. Im 26 so its weird how i remember this game.

[@rickyo7061]

Right? The only one i could complete was the graveyard. Took me a while to complete the toilet level. But other than those two, i couldn't get the others

[@jonathankamysek7998]

i played this when i was like at 9 10 11 and 12 years of age i'm 32 now soon to be 33 and i still remember this game fondly though couldn't beat it due to the dentist area

[@onehit9683]

23 and I remember I was like eight playing this on my Dell monster of computer on Windows XP😂

[@OFWGKTA1026]

They must remaster this game for the next gen consoles and computers. People never know about this game and how good it is. This game deserves a remaster.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

I really hope they do!

[@toweringsequoias1590]

I don't think you can make it any better with a remaster though

[@Ziggy_Rotten]

@@toweringsequoias1590 but at least it would solve the major problem this game has playing on modern computers. (Actually worse than any other old game that I've encountered) virtual boxes, changing directory and executable files, it almost feels random when it finally starts to work. If you look it up on abandonwear sites, you can see people who took months just to get it to install correctly much less play. So that's pretty much the only thing that I would really like out of a proper release.

[@elizabethlynch6544]

I agree. Even if it is for Nintendo Switch

[@pennysanchez7656]

But Disney Interactive shut down years ago....

[@IsmailofeRegime]

The creators made this about as violent and disturbing as they could for a kid's game. The episodes of the show are not nearly as graphic. Also, I remember even as a kid thinking the controls were clunky and the actual gameplay vague. The art and sound obviously make up for it though.

[@NightmareYuki-z7i]

25:31 "Do, you, know, how much THIS phone call is gonna cost the school board??" "Eat my yo-yo!" Best response ever.

[@Trainsquatting]

The artistic direction is brilliant and so unique; they really need to revitalize this game!

[@fireflocs]

Nightmare Ned Kingdom Hearts level. Imagine it.

[@eggingeggswiththeeggman5870]

It makes sense

[@SilentNoisePlays]

[@omgizzyshere]

OMG yes!!

[@ArotTheKarot]

Man, this game has aged like a fine wine (visually at least).

[@tadkratzer6261]

Here's what I think are the fears each world represents: Graveyard-losing a loved one Hospital-doctor appointments and surgeries Bathroom-growing up School-making friends Attic/basement-creepy dolls and toys

[@GameCare]

If you complete the underground funeral segment where your parents are zombies (dont destroy them but just hit their arms to complete the ladder) and climb back up, the demon shows himself as Ned's grandpa, saying he shouldn't be worried for him to die, there's lots of things to do while he is still alive). I think that is so awesome.

[@MegaMelodytime]

@@GameCare Uh, the piece of Grandpa Ted still shows up if you destroy ned's zombie parents. Trust me, i've tried.

[@graygarrison3114]

​@@MegaMelodytimeIt happens but for some reason it's random on what triggers the 3 parts of The Shadows to transform I have absolutely no why it is random.

[@MediaMunkee]

1:02:13 I just realized, these are zombie versions of Ned's parents. I always figured it was just a "ooo, zombies scary" thing but... they're in coffins underground, being mourned. And then Ned goes down there with them. There's... a lot of things that could be read into that.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Yep! It's creepy! I mentioned it in my commentary playthrough/walkthrough that I recently did!

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Here's the link to it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/omicYWiOg5yrqLs

[@kazumakanjifreak3010]

Ned is so young and afraid of so many things, but the one thing he's afraid of the most is losing his family. He's felt alone many times, but to be alone without your family is a serious kick in the head.

[@austinreed7343]

Blood-smeared coffins, no less!

[@ChazzDiStefano]

I’d say out of everything in this game, that’s the darkest. Everything about it. The sad and creepy song in the graveyard playing while you listen to the crying family members (I think it’s Ned’s own funeral since the coffin joins his parents.) The way the coffin sinks into the caverns. The realization of who they are. The way they close in on you forcing you to attack your own parents. How you use their arms for the ladder to climb back up. Even before you go back up they stop walking towards you, and that last hit that makes them disappear feels like saying goodbye or accepting they’re gone. It’s so twisted, a lot of things in this game are spooky and unsettling but this was more tied to loss and tragedy. It really got to me as a kid and a fear that sticks with me as I get older.

[@Folse]

I feel like it was just yesterday I was swinging my little legs from my dad’s computer chair playing this game until the early morning

[@samandmrcheese]

I love how the borders change depending on which part of the game you're in.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Thanks! It took a lot of work to do those ^_^

[@samandmrcheese]

You made those?! I thought they were like some kind of hidden texture buried deep within the game's files that you somehow discovered. Nonetheless, you did a really great job making these. The Attic, Basement and Beyond border looks like a spot-on close up of the Wedgie Wall. Though I'm having a hard time trying to pinpoint what exactly the Graveyard borders are supposed to be.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Thanks! Yes I did - I tried to take little aspects from each of the levels. The graveyard borders are meant to kind of look like climbing up the tree that has the big scary guy at the top ^_^ And I also included Ned's name somewhere in each of the borders!

[@samandmrcheese]

You're welcome! Also, here's a fun fact I never noticed until recently: Did you know that the music that plays when the Pipe cleaner Skeleton hits Ned with his cotton ball afro attack is the same funky tune from the game's intro?

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Yes! I thought that was hilarious! Lol. He does like a little disco dance haha.

[@DerekBackofen]

Man I loved this game as a little kid so fun and the visuals are just as amazing as ever

[@JustinGrant-jf5gv]

This game deserves to come back in some way. It's just too surreal, creepy, and imaginative to be left in the past.

[@BHM_Productions]

That tooth level is what I remember most from this game and looking back on it after all this time, it's surprisingly disturbing. It's almost like Ned is in hell. Freaky!

[@bbrcareercenter9315]

Not so scary or gross to me.

[@williamaddenbrooke]

It’s almost like Courage the Cowardly Dog is in a kangaroo monster’s mouth and he’s found out that it’s teeth start to decay when they hunt for prey in the Jurassic period at the History Museum, so he decided to help out the kangaroo monster with dental care and look real closely at the vein in each tooth that has bacteria or an infection so that his nightmare will be back to normal. It’s another one of Courage’s nightmares just like I saw his own nightmares in “perfect”. And I first saw a kangaroo monster in “The transplant”.

[@williamaddenbrooke]

Ew! Are those maggots sticking out of the gums?!

[@williamaddenbrooke]

Well, you must be right. That background IS terrifying.

[@piercegormley8644]

The music for this game is top tier

[@phospadparadschaa]

this game is so eclectic and fun. there's so much in the way of easter eggs, animations, and mixed media! I love stopmotion videogames or games using stopmotion or clay animated sequences, and the portion with the locker was such a delightful surprise. I had a veryyyyy vague memory of seeing the trailer of ned in his bedroom hiding under the bedsheets as a kid, probably from the jungle book vhs i saw people mention in the trailer of the game itself video on youtube. i wish more games had this much personality, especially now.

[@NovaStarlyght]

You're a hero! I tried everything I possibly could to fix the Medical Nightmare speed glitch with the playthrough that I did last Halloween (and also have uploaded to KZbin) but sadly didn't succeed. This is the first I've seen it at the proper speed in an incredibly long time! Thank you so much for doing this playthrough and uploading it in honor of the 20th anniversary! The artwork you did for the sides of the video that change depending on the nightmare is beautiful too! :) I really wish an actual 20th anniversary edition of the game that runs on modern computers would be released, unfortunately we may never see Disney acknowledge Nightmare Ned ever again, which is such a shame. At least there's other folks like you out there who want others to remember the game and "keep it alive" in a way, which makes me so happy. :D Keep up the amazing work and let's make sure Nightmare Ned is never forgotten!

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! This is definitely one of my favourite games - I really hope that they do a remaster at some point (maybe for the 25th anniversary?) I'm an artist hoping to get into game design so I'd drop everything for a chance to work on a remaster of a game like this ^_^ Creative Capers is actually still around - so it might be possible they could do a remaster if enough people showed some interest in one? I'm not really sure but that'd be awesome!

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Hey T.N. Newton! I was just wondering if you had any tips on where I can safely download an emulator to run Windows XP to run Nightmare Ned on Windows 10? So far I can only run it on my Windows 7 Computer with XP Mode. I'm hoping to do another playthrough of it soon and was hoping to get it running on my windows 10 computer.

[@321SPONGEBOLT]

I'd like to attempt that too. I'm pretty much good at sound design for a start as I explained before. I use Audacity.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

I was able to get the game running on Windows 10 by using Windows XP Mode and Oracle Virtual Box (and watching a KZbin video) but the game ends up with the super speed glitch and I'm not sure how to fix it as well as the audio sounds fuzzy. If anyone wants to know how to get Windows XP Mode on Windows 10 refer to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y37dfXmkm56kntE If you have a copy of Nightmare Ned - put the CD in your computer before starting up the Virtual Computer and then make sure you host the CD drive and you should be able to see the CD there (I might make a video on this later for anyone having trouble). Then you can install the game and it will run but it will have the super speed glitch in the bathroom level (falling rats) and the surgeon level when you're on the gurney/getting your organs back. It's not a 100% solution getting the game to run but it's playable. And I love the music in this game! I'd love to make video game music in the future, though I've got a lot to learn about music I used to tinker around with Logic Pro when I was in college and that was a lot of fun.

[@MegaMelodytime]

27:25 This is an outrage! There is no way our darling, Max could do something this heinous! This Pedestrian! This Lubricious!

[@XxBlackCellxX]

I just turned 22 and I played this game before grade school. I cant believe how differently my mind perceived this game back then, and I am surprised at how many parts I was able to get to despite being so feeble-minded lol

[@SilentNoisePlays]

I played this as a kid too and it scared me so much but I was able to overcome it because Ned never actually "dies" in the game so it wasn't as scary for me (still pretty dang freaky though!). The graveyard level was the scariest one for me because there was so much going on. I was afraid of the dentist level and always had my fingers ready to press the spacebar when the dentist showed up lol. The bathroom and school levels were the least frightening of them all in my opinion. I liked playing the chalkboard level a lot as a kid because the song was so funny. :D

[@lbbendykidd9054]

A Mickey Mouse cameo in the attic? Awesome! Funny that soon the steamboat willie version of him will be incorporated into a horror game.

[@KingDaveth]

For the longest time I have been trying to find out who voiced the story telling Dragon, turns out she was in a LOT of old cartoons I watched, mostly Nick toons and sure enough she did! She was Violet Stimpleton in Rocket Power!

[@tonyf4991]

I NEVER knew growing up that you had to hit the rats and climb them in the sewer level. It was the only level I never beat because I had no idea what I was missing from it. Great to FINALLY know how to beat the level after so many years.

[@Chloe4656.]

This game used to freak me out as a kid. I remember watching one of my sisters playing this on the old windows 98 computer in my dad and moms room.

[@tadkratzer6261]

The mouth level has to be the most disturbing level in the game.>_

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Yep lol it's pretty gross. When I was a kid I would always play the bathroom or the school levels first because I was too scared of the dentist level and the graveyard.

[@tadkratzer6261]

SilentNoise I'm kind of surprised that they included it. I mean look at it! Veins, blood in the teeth, filth, worn down teeth, the background, and when you meet the witch the room looks super disturbing. However, I did like the uvula song. But still, who has a mouth looking like that?! And once again, THE TEETH ARE BLEEDING. IN A KIDS GAME!!

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Lol the Uvula song constantly gets stuck in my head. It definitely wouldn't pass for an 'E' rated game today but probably a 'T' rated game. I think the struggle with this game is that it's focused on the fears that kids have (which is a great plot for a game) but then it's targeted to be played by kids. It's good for overcoming fears once you've completed the game but it's a little too intense for kids. I think having a 'T' rating and targeting the game more towards teens and young adults would've made it more successful (or relaunching it now for that audience). For instance, Little Nightmares has a kid as the main character but it's rated 'T' so then they can continue with the plot and then go as scary as they want. The teeth level and then the enemy at the top of the tree in the graveyard alone should make it be a 'T' rated game. I just hope this game gets some sort of relaunch in the future because I think it deserves a second chance with the right audience. That could also give it the potential to be more difficult too!

[@tadkratzer6261]

SilentNoise I think a teen rating might be a bit too harsh. Probably e10+.

[@tadkratzer6261]

SilentNoise If it was going to be rated t then Disney probebly wanted nothing to do with it since they are family-friendly.

[@PatrickSeiter]

29:30 I never knew about the locker as a kid and it drove me CRAZY! I finally figured it out when I replayed it for the 10th anniversary :)

[@stephenkostiak3929]

You can visit the five Nightmare Worlds in any order you want in this game.

[@JackoB716]

How in the world did you play that medical nightmare thing without that one speedy glitch? I wanna do that, too!

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Lol I played the game on a Windows 7 computer with a Windows Virtual PC program that was running Windows XP Mode. Windows XP seems to be the best version of windows to run this game that I've been able to find but it sucks that compatibility mode just on the regular desktop never seems to work.

[@keokeoguzuma6924]

We need more games like this, I love the 90’s fmv and such it makes it more creepy. Imagine this in HD

[@angel_in-black]

This game haunted me as a kid, so much so that I never finished it. Time has definitely given me a unique perspective on this game though. Though it’s simple, I think the good ending represents Ned conquering his fears and when he wakes up, he becomes a stronger person from that point on. The bad ending represents what happens when you don’t face your fears, though Ned confronted his fears(beat the game)he did not conquer his fears and continued to act as a frightened little boy constantly yelling for his mother. It’s important to note that the deciding factor between the two endings is time. Go back or get sent back to the quilt more than 8 times(8 hours)and technically you lose. Translation, you cannot live in fear for too long without it changing you for the worst. So please, take risks, try things that may seem scary, grow as a person, and above all else, don’t be afraid! Time also gives you a unique perspective on your fears. For example, now that I’ve watched this game walkthrough, I don’t know what I used to be so scared of!

[@deemondh7326]

I like your interpretation of this entire game. After watching the entire game from start to finish, I can say that there is a lot of visual symbolism behind the inner fears of Ned Needlemeyer. The graveyard obviously represents his fear of death and possibly the loss of loved ones. The school could symbolize the anxiety and worry of fitting in, finding new friends, getting through school work, etc. The doctor/dentist might represent the fear and uncertainty of the medical procedures that Ned might have to face whenever it is an essential for him. The toilet is an interesting one, since I can not really pin point what it truly represents besides the possibility of Ned believing some disturbing stories he might have heard from his peers regarding the urban legends of the sewers. In the attic and basement level, Ned’s fear of the dark and unknown seem to be quite visible along with the intertwining tales he may have heard or read about regarding black cats, lost items containing unsettling contents and other fear related paraphernalia with those two locations. At the end, if the player gets the good ending, you may notice that the giant monster was Ned the entire time. Possibly a symbolic representation of his entire psychological fears being an internal struggle that only he alone can address to free himself from the heavy burden that fear can induce.

[@angel_in-black]

@@deemondh7326 YES YES YES! Exactly how I see it, though I see the bathroom level to more about his fear of growing up and what puberty entails(hence the puberty song)what with it including the time that will be spent in the bathroom taking care of acne, body hair, etc and he could be terrified of aging into something…undesirable. Like the toilet said at the end, a mirror cannot reflect the boy inside. It’s a shame there isn’t more to the ending because I remember the game being long as a kid and always hoped for something satisfying but I’m glad that as an adult we can draw our own conclusions like this.

[@deemondh7326]

@@angel_in-black Now that I think about it, regarding your interpretation of the bathroom level, it makes more sense regarding Ned’s fear of aging into puberty and transitioning from a boy to a man. Puberty can be, for many kids, an intimidating prospect when one isn’t sure about how your body will react to such hormonal changes. I also must say that there was one minor observation that I had failed to take notice as a kid, but only now see as a reason for Ned’s appearance regarding the lack of hair on his head. During the bathroom level, there is one section that requires the player to jump over an obstacle of toilets with monsters and elements coming out to attack Ned. Well, at the end of the section, in order to exit the area, the player will see a pack of ferocious looking hair clippers that need to be neutralized before the player can leave the area. It got me thinking that it could be plausible that Ned might have a fear of the barber shop or hair clippers in particular which gives a reason for his hair being extremely short to the point of making him appear bald. His mom might be the one who clips his hair when he thinks it may be getting a bit long for his comfort. I definitely agree with you that the ending could have been expanded further with Ned confronting his inner fears and how it helped him in his daily life during the post credits. That would have been very interesting and satisfactory to say the least. Funnily enough, I was able to complete the entire game when I turned eighteen during the summer months. Incidentally, I also completed the original pc game of American McGee’s Alice in Wonderland. It was a fun and satisfying end to my high school days before I started college that fall.

[@angel_in-black]

@@deemondh7326 Yes, we’re on the same page! I got the game when I was 8 or 9, and my sister and I bonded over playing computer games together and we could not complete the medical level. I honestly don’t know how we beat the school and attic levels because I honestly don’t remember those boss fights and some of those locations. I think we just needed one more piece of the medical level and we couldn’t figure it out(obviously I know now)so we put it on the shelf and moved on. So watching this was a completion of an unfinished childhood chapter, and seeing the ending is nice though I can confidently say, I wouldn’t have been satisfied as a kid either. But like I said, it scared me as a kid, I remember the actual nightmares it gave me, and now I don’t see what I was so afraid of. Sure, as a kid things can seem larger in scale than they actually are, but maybe it’s because I never got into any horror stuff growing up.

I remember playing this game when I was 9, my mom got this game for my birthday. I really enjoy the hole story and fun moments while solving the challenges and puzzles too.😊

I remember as a kid, when I first saw this game as an advertisement on my aunt's The jungle book vhs tape, I was creeped out because I thought it looked scary and I ran to my grandparents and cried in fear. But now that I'm in my twenties, I think this game looks fun to play, and I just wished they would've also ported this to the original playstation. Not to mention, that I think it's time Disney starts thinking about giving this game a remake.

Agreed! I really hope they do consider relaunching this title in some way! And I feel your pain lol. When I was a kid I was so scared of this game I avoided the Dentist Level and the Graveyard Level because they were too dang scary!

I can see this being a pretty decent game on the switch considering I see so many indie + spin off game on there. It just need a good remaster like the frame rate for sure, the animation + graphics could use a little work and as for the lighting maybe a little bit but it’s pretty spooky by itself already but a little touch doesn’t hurt. Ya there’s a bit more I’d like to talk about but you’ll get my point.

Wow! Great Playthrough!! I remember when I first played this game back when I was like 4, on a Windows 98 Machine. Then when I was 6 we got a Windows Vista (which luckily it still worked on without having to do anything) and that is where I did most of my playing and eventually completed it. Then in 2014 I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and guess what didn't work... Took me about a year before I found a way to get it to work again, which still wasn't an easy process. Had to use Virtual Machine Software and install a legal copy of Windows XP Pro on it to get this game to work again. This game brings back great memories! It's been about a year since I've played it, I should try my luck at it again!! I hope they do a Remaster of this someday, that would be great.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Thank you! I definitely have a lot of fond memories of playing this game as a kid and I'm happy I was able to play it again today. I really hope they do a remaster of it as well! (Haha, I'm an artist hoping to get into video game development so if they need an extra set of hands I'd be more than willing to help!) Maybe there will be a remaster for the 25 year anniversary? It's hard to say - but Creative Capers still exists and they're still making games! So there's a chance!

THANKS DISNEY, BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT CHILDREN WANTED

[@lonelypotato520]

Dude I loved this game as a kid

[@random-hx1hf]

this was was before disney own it

[@Litto1]

@Cris I wanted it. Best game growing up.

[@jordansweet4119]

Dude this was a great game

[@Deadratfloating]

I wish I could play this one more time..

[@JoshLeo13]

Holy shit I'm so glad I found this video. This brings back so many memories.

[@conthauberger]

I used to play this game a lot when I was little. Also, I was wondering you could add in all the death animations, like when Ned gets beaten up and recovers like that. I sometimes laughed when he gets slaughtered by the fan when he climbed the rat ladder.

[@SCHAAAD]

This is why I love messed up movies in my 20’s, because I played this shit at a young age.

[@TheRedRevival_]

Yooo how are you playing this modern day?

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

Blast away killer roosters, hideous math equations, and pipe cleaner skeletons with ned's trusty yo-yo 🪀.

[@BlitztheDragon]

Oh man, the razor stunlock. That pissed me off so bad as a kid back in the day. It was almost gamebreaking!

[@fireflocs]

Press 4 to torture Ned. You monster.

[@cshimp10]

The Rat Tango and the Math Song are my most favorite songs from any game [with lyrics].

[@davezdragon]

Whoa! Who made the background art for this playthrough? It's impressive!

[@SilentNoisePlays]

If you mean the game itself then you'd have to thank all of the game developers/designers listed in the credits of the game. If you mean the borders for this playthrough that was done by myself but was inspired by art within the game ^_^

[@davezdragon]

I thought I saw your name on those borders. Would've been nice if you'd created one for the waiting room.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

I considered it but in the description of the level in the manual it said something about Ned being in a "pitch-black" waiting room, and I didn't want to add anything to ruin the ambiance.

[@davezdragon]

Where can we view the artwork you made? And the logo?

[@AoiUsagiOtoko]

20 years already...DANG. this was the first computer game i ever owned! it horrified me as a little kid (like 4/5yrs) but when i got older i adored it, still do! did you play this on a virtual machine or what? :0 i'd love to play this again. good idea on the background frames changing too, that's a neat touch.

[@stephenkostiak3929]

The principal of the School Nightmare world of the computer game is laughing like a gangster to me.

[@GhaztBoi]

As a person who’s in the Halloween spirit this year, I find the soundtrack to be amazing! I think my favorite are The haunted mansion and The Quilt because they give off a chilling atmosphere to the consumer. Plus, don’t get me started with the unsettling teeth area.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

The music in this game was definitely very unique and ominous! I feel like when you listen to the music separately from the game (not to sound too cliche) but it really does feel like the music kind of takes you on a haunting journey. I also really think the Attic, Basement, and Beyond level music was heavily inspired by Fur Elise Fur Elise - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ65iGuqnKyMldk Nightmare Ned (Attic, Basement, and Beyond) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGnPZ6iEbKyfi5I

[@k.m.parker335]

Thanks for the shadow dialogues

[@SilentNoisePlays]

You're welcome! I had never known about all of them because you have to reload the area to get the Shadows to say something new each time.

[@SonofMrPeanut]

The tie-in series was way too short-lived. It at least deserved another season.

[@barkerfunk2559]

This game scared the hell out of me as a kid

[@woohoo2491]

Music and visuals: amazing Gameplay: ass I wonder how hard it would be to unpack the game's asset archives, to re implement the game in a modern 2D engine

[@stephenkostiak3929]

Like I said, the Graveyard Shadow bares a striking resemblance to Randall Boggs, a Disney & Pixar villain yet to come.

[@disneywitchywoman1512]

Ned has the house for himself when his parents and his sister are out. He eats sweets when his parents are not around His parents have a reason that he’s not allowed to eat sweets 🍫 Ned was scared being home alone

[@FailAries]

Disney made bloodborne all the way back in the 90s, nice.

[@Asdfgqwertyi]

I think this is worthy becoming a real movie.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

That would be really cool!

[@kailegoh2308]

36:24 It's Mickey Mouse!

[@NicoleHam]

Literally the game that made me want to pursue animation and art. Still visually stunning, weird, and confusing. And the music is BRILLIANT.

[@ziggy2093]

This game and cartoon really scared the shit out of me, got me nightmares too

[@GrahamVowell]

Hey Silent, I don't know if you remember me but I commented on your last playthrough of this game a couple years back asking if I could use your playthrough footage for my review. Long story short, a lot of things got in the way for me to review this game but I will finally have the review uploaded either sometime late tonight or early tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know and also say thank you once again for allowing me to use the footage, you really helped me out a ton and I can't thank you enough for that!

[@GrahamVowell]

I have to confess though that I do refer to you as a male in the review, and I just now found out you are female... oops! I apologize for that and hope you can forgive me for my stupidity, lol.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

Graham Vowell Lol I just finished leaving a comment on your video! Great review and no worries about the mix-up! I've been "Silent" on KZbin for a while now so it's easy to make that mistake.

[@tadashihatsudai]

Oh wow! I haven’t played the game in a long time!! I still have the CD and a basic windows laptop so might be able to run it.

[@MegaMelodytime]

Nightmare Ned: the only game that makes fear fun.

[@williamaddenbrooke]

A-ha! Just as I suspected! That’s why that creature’s tooth was rotten. Because it has braces on. And it doesn’t know how to brush with braces.

[@Korezbot]

I LOVED this game as a kid. Still have the original cd, now I just gotta figure out how to run a virtual machine to play it again. I wish someone would do a remake :(

[@BiyOp-vh1yi]

The puberty song💀

[@MegaMelodytime]

1:32:54 how did you manage to get into that tomb? i've never been able to get in.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

I know your pain! It was so difficult to get in there! From what I've learned from playing this game is that there are very specific hit boxes for certain events to occur (for instance, you can't always complete the attic, the basement, and beyond nightmare without hitting specific points in the level). I think that the developers intended for Ned to walk through the game slowly and not jump through the game but also Ned's speed can change on occasion. So, if you're near the tomb you have to really get lucky and also jump around from side to side or even walk up to it from a distance to get the event to trigger. Then, I believe you have to press the up arrow once the rug comes out but I'll have to test it and see. It's either the up button or the jump up button that gets you into the tomb. There's also a spider right next to the spot that can get in the way. I've had it happen where the spider comes down and then the tomb event triggers and the spider goes with me up to the tomb entrance lol. I'm hoping to get the game running properly on Windows 10 (if anyone knows how please let me know!) so I can explore more of it and figure out what the actual hit points are in the game so it has the potential to be speedrun (I'd love to see this game at an GDQ event!). I've run into the hit box issue in the school level before as well where if you lose to all of the enemies in the locker fight that Ned gets 'stuck' in the school and can't complete the level because the other events won't trigger.

[@MegaMelodytime]

oh yeah, those locker fights. i usually like to fight the rooster first despite the "Chicken punch". (i don't know how that glitch works) but i almost never loose a battle. the only way to not loose a battle if you're bumped offscreen by the rooster is to go back to the quilt and i don't like wasting hours.

[@SilentNoisePlays]

The 'Chicken Punch' glitch happened when the super speed glitch was going on (computer was too fast for the game) and I honestly don't know how it did it. Ned was just facing away from the chicken and then the chicken punched him off the screen lol. Same with the "Ladder to Nowhere" was random. Ned was climbing up the ladder and then decided to get off the ladder and hide in the ceiling. Weird kid haha. It would be kind of neat for a remaster instead of losing an hour when you go back to the quilt to maybe have a timer for some sections? Like in the bathroom if you don't hop across the tubs within however many seconds you get sent back but it could be its own individual event. I feel like there's a lot of potential for this game if it ran a bit smoother and had some more challenge to it.
