Risky Woods Longplay (Amiga) [50 FPS]

[@Antonio-hx7yh]

one of the most underrated games for Amiga. Graphics are awesome, detail and color-wise. It really seems a Megadrive/Genesis level game

[@FinalManaTrigger]

My God, the music is amazing...

[@iorekby]

This plus the HeroQuest game music for the Amiga were my all time favs back in the day.

[@belandino]

It sounds like the "Strip Tease" movie theme song haha, although the movie came out 4 years later.

[@Dagg73]

The music of "game over" when you die or finished the game, with a map chinese style as background is a masterpiece. The composer is Jose A. Martín. In Spain he created a lot of themes for Dinamic soft. For example, The menu Music of the Astro Marine Corps is AWESOME: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3a7aGSLqM-CZpY

[@bangerbangerbro]

Usually is for Amiga games.

[@augusteghislaindupin]

i had the DOS version and the midi was just a bit different, with a stronger bass.. but yes... so good music!

[@number8802]

Made in Spain if I remember correctly. Got my copy on my birthday in 1992 and two days later the final boss was beaten.

[@ActionableFreedom]

lol! Well played. It took me months to beat this as a kid.

[@gurriato8241]

Yes, is a spanish Game

[@Injectz]

What a absolute gem of a game..... Takes me right back.... That soundtrack ❤

[@aurex8937]

I had this game when I was 7. It was so DAMN HARD. I still use the self-created term "risky woodie" when I speak about something nearly impossible to do.

[@JMDAmigaMusic]

Dinamic Hard, its games were already tough in the 8-bit era :)

[@Paulanim100]

Funny how having a risky woody means something completely different as an adult 😂.

[@rafaellima83]

@@JMDAmigaMusic Most spanish games were hard to the point of being stupid, and usually because they were badly done. It wasn't "Challenging hard", it was "This is really badly made challenging" In the other hand, IIRC, the last game made by Zeus Software on the Spectrum was Astro Marine Corps, which was actually... pretty easy. And Risky Woods had some really weird quirks (Like the "swap time for energy" stuff, but while hard, I think it was a fair game.

[@elfo7]

I was 7 or 8 too, I am 38 now and I just beat the game... took me 30 years lol. And only because I challenged myself, but eventually I beat it with 4 lives left, game me sweat and it is unfair at times, but I still think it's a great game.

[@Calimelio]

Graphically beautiful ! Just imagine it's from '92. Great game, one of best platformers for Amiga.

[@bangerbangerbro]

Not quite at the level of Jim Power but probably much more fun, and the colour is better locally as well, not just across the whole screen. Used better too I suppose rather than the rainbow splash of Jim Power.

[@AutoFirePad]

@@bangerbangerbro Jim Power makes a better use of parallax and feels more fluid. And of course, Risky Woods music wasn't made by Chris Huelsbeck. JP was hard as hell, sometimes frustrating but rewarding. (500 hours of play maybe, XD)

[@ibrahimcan3490]

OMG! This game I've been playing when I was 10... such good memories

[@daren42]

i like how it breaks out into a little demo at the end

[@Godzilla7302]

I bet he was a demo coder before he started with game dev.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

This has a definite 'Gods' vibe. The way the coins bounce, the mini mushroom clouds when enemies die, mechanically very similar. The levels are a lot more linear though. The never-ending waves of enemies clearly add to the dificulty!

[@m4ksymili4n]

I remember playing this like crazy when i was a little kid. Actually just found a manual amongst books which made me come here...

[@donbuche]

The most epic game for Amiga in the 90's. The final sequence was AWESOME. Thanks for the video. I remember such a good times with it. Lovely.

[@hawk19085]

Wow, Amiga version had a chill sound as BGM as well.

[@ActionableFreedom]

The whole time vs health mechanic is still one of the most innovative ways to deal with both in terms of management and giving the player choices in a 2d platformer.

[@arsenicj]

When i was a child i tried to finish so many times but i couldn't succeed ever. This could be the hardest game which i play, but i really love this game.

[@amanloop]

Beautiful game! Wouldn't feel out of place in an arcade cabinet.

[@Turrican60]

Must get out the WinUAE and a few ADF's, including Risky Woods. Seeing this game has got me all Amiga nostalgic, lol :-)

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Yep, it's a damn fine game. Never played Lionheart - I might check it out.

[@dannyvelasquez9564]

Uno de los mejores juegos 👍

[@Wannabe_Baby]

The version I had of this didn't have any music. It's a little jarring to see this version because the game seems so much darker and freakier without the music.

[@bellatrix565]

the graphics reminds me of Shadow of the Beast II

[@JMDAmigaMusic]

Beast was a reference point for a lot of games

[@antonzandt159]

Pretty groovy game. Reminds me a bit of Castlevania (axe weapon, map between levels, some of the enemies...).

[@julienw954]

We didn't see the Boomerang in action :(

[@riccardodp85]

Nice...so hard game...and whitout save!!!love this game

[@Turrican60]

You can always use the 'Save state' function on WinUAE, I suppose ;-)

[@Jetanium]

The version I grew up on didn’t have a shop.

[@gurriato]

I never knew the armor mechanic and the simon says minigame from the mega drive version were not in the original game.

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

A better version that Link Faces of Evil.

[@Kelbinstrike]

Easiest final boss of the videogame history, just spam attack without moving

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Best to kill them while they're off-screen - they have a nasty habit of shooting projectiles in a path that makes them almost impossible to duck or jump, at least without backtracking.

[@kristiantheslayer]

Had this back in the day, must admit I didn't like it and barely played it. I loved the title screen music though, incredible and still is. I used to just fire this game up purely to listen to it and not even bother playing it. I'm glad you let it sit on the title screen so others can hear it. Just looked at the Mega Drive version of this and the music is crap.

[@oliverecords8524]

I'm in the deep real school zone again. I could stay there a good while.

[@convexcornet2169]

The best game on the Amiga BY FAR. If it was on the mini, I would have bought it by now. The Genesis/Megadrive version has a few changes. The music is better in the Genesis version, but the colors are better in this version The game is more fluid in the genesis version, and it has better background scrolling, but for the fact that this is the definitive version, makes it the best version.

[@AutoFirePad]

Is he Jim Power?

[@nikd2154]

34:25 You could throw a key here and clear the path

[@convexcornet2169]

He only had half of the key. the best thing he could do, is jump on the turret. it dies and you only lose 1 or 2 health points.

[@SendyTheEndless]

I never got past the 2nd level.

[@Hektols]

The Amiga version was the best,

[@enoughnonsensenowlistenup3458]

looks like a copy of captain trueno

[@chaos_engine4217]

BUENISIMOOOO

[@davidfletcher6703]

This looks almost like a Latin American version of Gods

[@sverr0r]

bueno

[@apryoutube]

Those who rage quit on level 1 give like 😂😂

[@kotkasyno2525]

lol, i was 6

[@illegalquantity]

Nice, but not too enjoyable game. And look at this little guy, he has actually no mouth. :)

[@neocortexlab]

Rather good for ECS... looks like AGA... this is the only positive side of the game. All others are dull...

[@bangerbangerbro]

I'm sure it runs on OCS too. I don't know why everyone always says ECS.

[@elmariachi5133]

Though the graphics where colorful, they also where too monotonous. The music was very uninspired and boring, and the gameplay was no fun at all. Also the primitive level design (just left to right) wasn't any fun to me, since already the later 80s. I never could understand what people liked about such games, when there already where much more advanced games before. What I disliked most was that you had to kneel down for collecting the coins, what made you miss even more of them.

[@convexcornet2169]

This is one of the few games on the amiga that were stable enough, had good graphics, and ran at 50 frames per second. Coin collecting skill can be improved with practice.
