No-death Ghosts N Goblins for NES in

[@Brandon3060]

I remember this from my childhood. I couldn't beat level one.

[@woodsendragon4772]

This game was always in the back of my mind about me remembering it for some reason, and the only two things that stuck with me were that stupid graveyard, and that the guy wore boxers after taking a hit

[@jda2898]

I met the boss but couldn't beat it !

[@sandeya1468]

I don't blame you

[@tavaresmelton5709]

😂😂😂

[@harunabdassami]

That might be the most impressive display of gaming I have ever seen. Bravo!

[@TheDookielove]

first time ive ever even seen 2nd stage

[@amerikaOnFire]

I think the most impressive thing about this run is his use of the weapons including the god awful fire weapon.

[@KLXVER]

Thats the most impressive speedrun Ive ever seen. This game is painfully hard. Ive beaten Battletoads for the NES without using the warp zones, but never made it past the 3rd level of this gäme. You frickin´ RULE!!!

[@Tyrfingr]

Remember playing this on the arcades and on the Commodore-64 ... Those were the days!

[@arthurofhus9448]

Now that's a splendid playthrough, you would make a great knight in slaying the undead and demons.

[@thomas83lin]

I've played this on and off since my childhood, never making it past stage 2. Starting yesterday I decided to try to beat this game. I believe I've made good progress, so far I can make it the end of stage 6 with the two devils, once I beat loop1, loop2 shouldn't be a big deal. my biggest problem was the red arremers, now i can consistently defeat them. update: Just completed both loops for the good ending, spent half the day competing it. spent over half that time just on loop2 end of stage 6. Not sure why cause on loop1 I didn't has much trouble. maybe just luck the first time.

[@Downfallofyou]

well done man, this game was a fave of mine as a kid and it took me forever to defeat it...but you just made this game look simple as can be, again awesome job man owning those beasts!

[@Chuckclc]

Are you f'in kidding me?!! I played this game so many times and was just happy when I got to the 3rd level. If I ever got to the end to only be started over I would have went insane!!! They didnt even think about checking if they were grammatically correct because they probably thought no one would get there.

[@Lance-Stroll]

Chuckclc right!? I would've throw my nes out the window & cried a bucket of tears lmao

[@ghostvlog4492]

This was my favorite video game on my first video game console as a child (The NES)... I played this game constantly for weeks and beat it. To this day, I remember the excitement of reaching a new level and getting farther each time! Just snagged a copy of this at a flea market the other day which made me want to look up your video... awesome!!

[@mikeallen748]

Nothing will ever top the game play of NES.

[@Maru96]

Mike Allen Except the arcade plays much better than this shitty port.

[@uhkelly]

You are my hero!!!! This is my favorite game of all time and you are frickin incredible. How the hell did you do half that stuff, your are amazing!! Way to go keep up the good work!!!!!

[@jakehawthorn]

He destroys those flying Red Demons like they aren't hard as hell. With the lance to boot.

[@jebsievers]

You, sir, are a master and a purist (in this non-emulated instance). Two admirable things.

[@thadevilzadvocate]

Well shit this guy blasted through it in 20mins or less and I could never make it past the first stage.

[@tinman135]

Using the fire for me is an instant death wish. I applaud you for successfully demolishing this game and doing what I never could...make it past level 3.

[@wauketa6171]

This brought back good memories.. then I started getting the feeling of rage.. like i needed to throw something!! Ok.. ok.. im calming down.. That dam game!

[@bombydruful]

way to go man...this game is phenomenal and I've never seen it beat until now...gj

CONGRATURATION THIS STORY IS HAPPY END THANK YOU

[@DiscoverPlatinum]

I'm so glad you posted this! I could NEVER get past like level 3 or something. It's the one with the really light background. I forget I think it has a mountain in the back.

[@Crumpdiddy]

But this the Nes version which was scaled down. The Arcade version was the famous teeth shattering difficult almost impossible version. I know because not only has it been officially announced many times before back in the day but also I have a old school cabinet from chigago gaming where i can play all the orignal arcade versions of these classic games and i play this one everyday to kill some time before bed and there is alot of shit missing in the nes version

[@BD-rk6hx]

Way to shit on someone else's very note worthy achievement. Console or cabinet it does not matter.

[@13ShoU37]

Apparently it's the other way around, NES is the harder version. But that's just what the comments are telling me.

[@Maru96]

Daniel Crumpler While i agree that the NES version is a shitty port, i would say that it's harder than the arcade. Then again, you have infinite continues in the NES version, which lower the difficulty

[@christopherk111]

i played this game back in the day at the local bowling alley--i completed the game twice completely if i remember correctly---thanks for the awesome memories--this is by far my favorite game of all time.

[@fahblizza]

This game use to frustrate the fuck out of me!!!

[@NESJohnny]

That's awesome. I just got this game yesterday and can't believe how tough it is.

[@MrW0lfe]

YOU ARE GOD!

[@Wesleech]

I'm kinda glad I'm watching this now and never got to the point where you start all over again when I was younger because I would have probably thrown my NES out the window.

[@owencrean1]

what god is he

[@ShadowOfTheVoid]

Dude. What? How? You're like an old-school gaming god. GnG gave me such a hard time as a kid. Probably one of the most punishing games I've ever played, and I don't know if I ever beat it. Yet you blew through it without dying. That takes some skill. Bravo.

[@graysonbubbleslight3095]

try #4,809,231

[@Bluegoo]

Fantastic job, sir. I'm one of the many that couldn't beat the game, at all, without the use of a handy-dandy game genie, and even then it poses it's threats.

[@rka18282]

you got really mad skills man and you impressed the hell out of me with your performance! Only 2 persons are capable of such a feat, YOU and Chuck Norris, although Chuck's speedrun is only 5 seconds long cause he's so awesome that the game shits itself and starts at the ending screen immediately! Which kinda reminds, Arthur sure looks like Chuck Norris! You dont mess with Chuck!

[@infinitedreams]

you are a true freak!!!This is the best video game performance ever. Period... I took me literally like 6 hours to beat this game. It is so hard. Crappy controls. Random ghosts that pop out of thin air. I could go on and on. Seriously I would have bet my life that a no death run on this game was impossible.

[@MelAncholynus]

It's amazing how easy you make this game look... I sure needed my infinite credits to beat it, I even had to leave my NES powered on for a couple of days, couldn't even complete it in one sitting... This game haunted my childhood, and I never finished it until today, at age 26 :D

[@Machiventa]

I played this when it first came out at the arcade and thought it was one of the hardest games ever... I could never pass the first level. When it came out for the NES I was all over it. My friend and I were able to get to the 5th level but that's it. You rock kareshi!!

[@kylongrifle]

awsome, just awsome..I feel proud just to have beaten this game back in the day and the SNES version but your game play here was just amazing..Congrats I still play this game occasionally..I downloaded it on Wii..

[@corymazz]

such a good job. Out of all the games I used to play for the NES this was by far the hardest. I could never get past level 3.

[@Stonemantis2]

This amazing , great job

[@DivineNihilism]

We have two words in the industry when something like this happens: Epic Win Congrats. That No Death run-through is sick, like, H1N1 sick. I'm still in awe.

[@TheMangoDeluxe]

Rage at 10:51. Absolute respect for this effort dude...you should be king of a small country for it.

[@MelAncholynus]

I was about 5 years old when I first played this game, barely got to level 2... AVGN's patience would probably last for about 1 minute of the first level, he should review this :) Good job on this one!

[@drarshath]

This is like the first time I am ever seeing what the other levels are apart from the first one! This game was so difficult to beat! Well played btw

[@kylongrifle]

First off I must say WOW! I have been playing this game since it came out on arcade (yes, Im an old timer) and its one of my favorite games to this day. In all honesty Im the only person around here locally that I know of thats beaten it or Super Ghouls and Ghosts and I am inpressed. Very impressed to say the least. I still play both of them on my Wii and still end up getting mad,LOL..Your good!!

[@lflagr]

sorry...just watched more of it...turns out that you are just really awesome at the game. major props to you!

[@thegdoat]

So nostalgic. S***, the games we had growing up, the bliss man. Such simplicity, but you could play it for hours.

[@abassett22]

watching you play this made me realize i dont think i ever made it to level 2, truly one of the hardest games i can remember. kudos

[@therealmerciless365]

You sir, are an amazing NES Ghosts 'N Goblins player. Congratulations on a well deserved World Record.

[@StressTheSky]

I played through some hard games when I was a kid, but there were certain games that I just couldn't seem to beat. Like this one and Dragon's Lair. This one even made you play through the game twice in order to beat it. Thats diabolical. Devised by Satan indeed. Good job on this one.

[@boskey10]

This is a perfect example of memorization, timing and not hesitating. I tryed playing this as a kid i could'nt get passed the second level, so hard because back then in the 80's and early to mid 90's there was no internet for 95% of the people you had to figure out this shit on you're own i wouldnt be surprised if this person played 1000's of hours on this game.

[@NewSchumalice]

I used to watch my uncle playing this game when I was a kid, and it really scared me to death at the time. Well I have to admit it still does !! =)

[@sindobrandnew]

2:29 Speechless... Congratulations you are officially a god of nes ghosts and goblins.

[@kareshi]

The Red Devil at 5:56 was killed and his death animation (the little red explosion) was actually further left of where he was when I hit him for the 4th time, but since he was in mid-swoop, the animation took place in the next location that his sprite was going to be had he survived.

[@PunchyStream]

A true display of gaming skill. You sir, have passed the boundaries of human skil.....l you are inhuman.... nay you are a gaming GOD!# Seriously that was one of the most impressive things I'll ever see. No wonder that's the world record!

[@fudawg45]

Jesus. Way back in the day we used to play this all day. Don't think we ever got past level 5. You're a master of those goddamn red flying devil things.

[@KrazyKali69]

ahhh so many memories....dam i never knew about that level3 trick, you just blew my mind with that! lol

[@W8HairAddict]

this is the most unforgiving game of all time and seeing this clip make my jaw drop I bearly make a hit on those crazy devils and you just killed them like it was no big deal

[@stargoddesskotou]

congraturation, this story is happy end! XD I loved this, brings me back to my child hood

[@KisameItachi]

I love this game, thanks for showing and playing this. :D

[@NostalgicRaptor]

Downloaded the ROM of it. The earliest console I ever had was the sega megadrive (no NES or SNES for me, unfortunately. Christ almighty, I'm glad I never played battletoads or any of those other impossibly hard games) so I've never played a game as hard as this, the difficulty literally a nightmare! I never even got past the first level xD so WELL DONE mate, you must have God-like abilitites. This is hardcore :D

[@leethedragon235]

I love how it says "THIS STORY IS HAPY END" You are a true Gaming God!

[@RedSouthCity]

Thank you for PWNing this game for all the people who couldn't beat it, and postting it for all the people to see. I thank you.

[@Sazke91]

you are amazing :D i played this when i was just a kid, and still i haven't get any longer than just 2nd level :E that must have been so hard to you, good job! :)

[@NESgamer190]

well done solider! You are perhaps among the gaming ELITE. I could only make it to stage 2 part 2 (First run through sadly.) Making world record really makes you the best gamer IMO in the world.

[@EnigmaHood]

It's popular because once you become good at it, it's actually quite fun. But like you said, it's extremely hard.

[@Noumenon72]

The random times you lose your armor make it *look* not tool-assisted -- and really raise the drama factor for the whole video. A hard game like this deserved someone like you who actually had to try hard.

[@zangetsu9196]

For what you accomplished, I truly admire you.

[@mrshep357]

most excellent my nintendo companion!! keep up the great work!! 10/10

[@nyamog]

just awesome in the past the games were so difficult to beat that you had to know every level by heart to make progress... but in this game i didnt even pass level 2... this guy plays great!

[@Zapperrix]

i beat this game once but it took me about 6-7 hours to beat you are a gaming master.(capcom made the hardest game series of all time!!!)

[@claireris]

Room to improve?!? How? It doesn't get any better than this!! I think GamingAwesome1 says it best for sure! OMG, I've had this game for 20 years and I absolutely cannot beat it no matter how hard I try!

[@BrianPicchi]

Well done sir, usually takes me at least an hour to beat this game, and that's only the first round. I've never beaten both rounds!

[@sudocatsda1guy390]

Great job getting anywhere, let alone beating the in any time. I played it (Arcade version in Capcom Classic Collection) for an hour this morning, and got only to the end of level 1 (to those two big white trolls). Yet everytime it seemed like I could make it. I bet some guy at Capcom got a raise when he discovered that making the character get up from his knees a slower, will have people pushing more coins to the game. Incidentally he gets up faster in NES version :-)

[@dsafian]

Congratulations man.. This was sick! I've finished it by dying like... 40 times LOL

[@rej72380]

Very nice, Kareshi! Not many people wouldhave the patience or the willpower to beat this NES game, let alone speed run it without dying once. I do believe you need to post this as a video response to the Irate Gamer's review of this game.

[@LegendByGod]

Nostalgia at it's finest. At least it's up there... :') I miss and love this game... It means a lot.

[@kareshi]

The bosses in my second round also move faster. They increase in speed each round, and will be faster still if you try to play a 3rd round. One way to spot a second round is the behavior of the red devils - they shoot two fireballs in a row instead of one like the first round.

[@Kazeron2009]

Congraturation! Happy end. Courageour knight... Strongth. Good job Capcom! You ending very well! XD

[@killalmostwise]

WOW! That's intense man. I used to feed my pocket money to this game in the arcade. I'm gonna have to go out and buy a NES just to play it again. Congrats on the record man :)

[@animayi]

sadly i never made it through lv1 in this game. it's nice to see someone do such a marvelous speed run! i was better at capcom's megaman games as a kid.

[@Nightsky071]

this has got to be one of the hardest games ever yet you make it look easy. i'm stuck at the lvl with all those ladders

[@zippythebluegoat]

Great job man, very impressive.

[@TaylorZanderFrancis]

I loved ths game, but I never finished it. You, my friend, are great.

[@Bluenote2020]

I'm very familiar with the first level and a half. Thank you for showing me the rest.

[@Jsacerio]

seriously this is unbelievable. i remember wanting to break my NES as a kid cause i could barely squeak by the first level. nice hand sir.

[@kareshi]

I had to use the Torch in levels 3, 4, 5, and half of 6 because the Knife just isn't an item drop along the way, if you go from the start without stopping. I'd have to sit still in the graveyard and kill zombies to get the Knife. You may also be interested in a video in "More from: Kareshi" where I use the Flame (Torch) alone for levels 1-6.

[@LegendByGod]

Oh my gosh This game did much for me as a child and still does

[@Edubbplate]

I'm thirty years old, had this game at about 7 or 8. It was the hardest game I had ever played. I finally beat it as an adult. FTW!

[@TechnologyWitch]

You, my friend, deserve the worship of all gamers. *bows before your awesomeness* Sometimes, I look at this game and can imagine the conversation the creators had upon finishing the game. 1: So... We've officially created the hardest game of all time! 2: Nah, still not hard enough. 1: So what should we do? 2: Ooh, I know! Let's make it so you have to beat it a SECOND time to win! 1: Great idea!

[@adamaj74]

Good job! This game made me rage so hard when I was a kid!

[@skaman125]

dude u r not human being able to pass this game..... good job man

[@kareshi]

@lesjeuxaoublier First thing you do is anticipate the zombies in the first part. They spawn in the same places each time if you start with a fresh power-on of the console. Then, you have to get through them in order to make it to the checkpoint (over the raft, into the woods) at about the same time each time. If you've done the first part correctly, then the flying knights will appear in exactly the same place each time. Doesn't work for Round 2, see 11:59.

[@kareshi]

@SpaceHead99 If you mean the dragon at the end of the blue cave, he takes 6 shots with any weapon except the lance (starting weapon,) which he is invulnerable to.

[@kareshi]

@xwario It takes weeks for me to beat it in one life. This is my second-best run. I wonder why people aren't watching the new one yet?

[@ajmossey]

Good stuff. I can never get the shield when I want it and always end up going back to beginning of that nightmarish level with all those bloody bats! Even then, I can't get past without waking most of em up which usually means I die there. Got sick of it, though it's a brilliant, if a little too frustrating, challenge

[@SGslaya]

this is some serious gangster shit. anyone who grew up playing ghosts 'n goblins knows it's one of the hardest fucking nes games ever. mad props for this performance man.

[@kareshi]

This IS the entire run done strictly with the console! At least look up those websites I mentioned, they're the highest respected websites for non-emulated speedruns and official video game world records anywhere!

[@enigmatickat]

I too only made it to the 2nd lvl and a half. Just pulled it back out...I hate fire! Thanks for the vid you ROCK!

[@RedGlareMcNasty]

This game was SADISTICALLY hard. I remember the hours of frustration I felt not being able to beat it. It still lives with me to this day! Oh, the memories!!!! My top five most difficult NES games... 1) The Legend of Bayou Billy 2) Battle Toads 3) Ghost 'N Goblins 4) Megaman 5) Ninja Gaiden

[@kareshi]

You are correct. Playing this game for a third round is more difficult than the second round. In fact, it will continuously get more difficult the more you beat it. All the enemies get faster each round, and there are more enemies overall, especially ones that appear on-screen (as opposed to ones that enter from the side of the screen)

[@Re1j11]

holy shit!!! so many times almost dead and yet =) the video goes directly into my favs ^_^
