Star Wars (NES) speedrun in

[@luke-i1w]

I spent months of my childhood figuring this game out. I made hand drawn maps of the Death Star (before I realized that R2 can get the maps from that room in the beginning). Finally beating it was the pinnacle of 4th grade for me. Watching someone slam through it in eleven and a half minutes is both amazing to watch but also makes me feel like I suck due to the ease at which it is done.

[@SiXiam]

We didn't have the resources that exist now as when we were children. Also we weren't trying to beat it quick. We had to find that blaster upgrade and get the crew!

[@inthefade]

4th grade you would have been a good streamer.

[@adamwatts2000]

Remember its far more than 11 minutes of experience

[@farmerted487]

The odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field are 3,720 to 1. You've got skills.

[@JesusMartinez-ee1lp]

Don't ever tell him the odds

[@m1k3fx]

youre not supposed to tell him the odds.

[@lelandgaunt9985]

That’s great kid, don’t get all peennisy.

[@VideoGameBoxReviews]

The RNG in this game is insane

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

You've won the comments section for this video lol

[@scratch3406]

You left poor Artoo in the sandcrawler, stole Hans ship, and blew up your sister.

[@davemeyer2378]

I really enjoy seeing all of these old games. Thanks for showing them off for us.

[@tommy516]

The music is great an hilarious at the same time. We struggled with this game back in the day!

[@mah7961]

That’s dedication when the player can literally hum every music track from the game. And still make it enjoyable to watch.

[@SterlingTate]

A code i used and made up with game genie for this game was "STATUS". You could float or fall very slowly.

[@Hegotflow99]

For NES that asteroid field part is really impressive lol

[@earthwormjim6962]

I love how the music at the surface when you are riding is basically a Darkwing Duck music.

[@gkwgeek4509]

Man, the last stage being a vertical shmup with no practice, brutal game. GG, Arcus!

[@BLAK3SAMA]

This was cool to watch. Never played the game. Now I can rest. Thanks 🙏

[@ihar47221]

He stole Millenium Falcon, destroyed Leia with the Death Star. Nice.

[@mobucks555]

Can't believe I've never seen this game before. It looks extremely tight.

[@stephenschenider4007]

Don't feel that way. Especially if you are younger and wasnt around for the NES back in the day.

[@KSigKid]

Yeah it was a nightmare to play. I enjoyed Empire a lot more and was excited for Return of the Jedi, but I don't think it ever released.

[@Michael-sb8jf]

I don't know if it was one to one but Gamboy star wars game was exactly this. hard as hell from what i remember though you could cheese your way through the asteroids by flying diagonally up /down

[@lucatanesco5734]

You have no idea...

[@TheTenCentStory]

I took my whole childhood to beat this game

[@RayImpastato]

Fantastic! I tried a run like this thirty years ago, but I dared not travel with only one shield 😅

[@faub3282]

12 parsecs?

[@m.burdelis]

I remember waking up all hipped up at 6:00am on a Saturday and waking my parents to ask if I could turn on the console to play this game

[@joltman81]

Obi-Wan: Here's your Father's Lightsaber Luke: Thanks! cut to four weeks later Obi-Wan: I wonder what that Luke kid has been up to since I gave him that Lightsaber...

[@JesusMartinez-ee1lp]

Can we get a "clunk" montage???? 😂

[@hoshbrown41]

Lots of good HUAs in this one

[@aurel102001]

i had this on game boy, thanks for the gameplay; remind me memories

[@vinniamsterdam700]

We would keep renting this game as kids, no one could make it back out of the Death Star, killing the tentacle was the biggest achievement possible.

[@kevinbuchanan67]

I'm stunned at how good this looks and I don't know how I missed it. Also, you look like Dave Foley... congrats

[@humanconvertile]

I used to play the Gameboy version all the time as a kid. Don't think I ever made it past the asteroid field in the Falcon lol

[@Michael-sb8jf]

If you flew at a diagonal you never got hit

[@rutgarbarbarian9582]

I still have nightmares from the Death Star Elevator Fuckery

[@Jreth]

*WELL DONE SIR, WELL DONE!*

Dang that’s a pretty good looking game for NES

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

Wonderful job on a lovely game!

Artoo and Threepio, were sold by Jawas (again); Han, and Chewie are back on Tatooine wondering where the hell their ship went; and Leia had a beyond front row seat to the Death Star going boom. Luke: i Am ThE bEsT sTaR tReK oF aLL!

[@Aditya-f8t5z]

I remember as a child, one of the people I went to school with got a big Star Wars book when Phantom Menace was released. I had no idea what Star Wars was then. 🤗 One of my schoolmates, Paul, narrated the story of Alien to me (before I watched Aliens, and then Alien). Was pretty scary even in the narration. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@AndersonNeo12]

Who needs the force when ur that good with the controller, nicely done. 🙂

[@MarMar-zj8tf]

hua, blowin' on through-ah.

[@wizardmagician7150]

i didn't know you didn't have to get Han or Leia on this game. I did find a hack or a loop hole for extra lives on this game everytime you went in one of the caves on Tatooine and got a few extra lives, you could leave the cave and come back and they would respawn. I would end up with 30 extra lives and I would still not have enough to beat those TIE fighters lol

[@nostalgia46]

That sand speeder music sounds a lot like the music in the NES game Nightshade.

[@MrDuneedon]

I dig your style, Dude.

[@Iamthegtard]

Our guy is like a Jedi master anyway 🎉

[@DarranKern]

The algorithm gave me your Ninja Gaiden 2 pb but I came to check this put, too!

[@longerino]

I appreciate your videos.

[@patmalloy3569]

This looks like a pretty well made Nintendo game.

[@AGoat1971]

It was not.

[@mikel6989]

I had this game as a kid and i absolutely hated it because I had no idea what to do or where to go. I should revisit it. I then went on to get star wars arcade for the 32x 😭 i barely ever got out of the first round. "take out enemy fighters"

[@mattprater8828]

if text had a sound... "take out enemy fighters" certainly does for me. Maybe revisit it and you'll do better. I played it a few months back and made it through several rounds before getting a bit bored.

[@mikel6989]

@@mattprater8828 Yea i should dust it off and play it again. I did just freshen up everything with new caps, s video mod and stereo out.

[@cornbeefsandwich2828]

Ya reeeaaaly wanna push that overgrown studio area with the buried garden bed and the poultry flowers in the corner. Don't ya. >:(

Well done!

[@prophetsparadise4463]

Yeeesh, fall damage made this game brutal back in the day

[@longerino]

I on the other hand love to watch the intro stuff.

[@beerious8392]

Epic.

[@johneygd]

I remember how i was able to beat this game, i did had only 1 live left. I remember how i did made i through the first airplane but then i got stuck there for 3 years ,but once i was able to get through it 3 years later, i amezingly was able to beat the rest of the game that same year. Am still amezed how i was able to beat it considering it’s difficulty and puzzle solving at where you’re supposed to go to make it to the exit at certain levels,phew🤣

[@longerino]

I feel this when he gets up because he is fed up with waiting for the nes to play.

[@dezm101]

I love this game but I always end up getting stuck in the Death Star looking for Leia in all the wrong places

[@cornbeefsandwich2828]

%excuse me, I need my personal space to make my selection.% Alright then I'll f@#$ off :/ 1.08 blaaachooo! Sniff. Well done you've made it through the cave of evil brave adventurer. Whatll it be?

[@anthonyiodice]

1:41 sprite look like the high jump dude from the Friday the 13th nes game

[@cornbeefsandwich2828]

I should have taken note of the culprits and passed on their names. Ahhh well maybe next time.

[@KSigKid]

Does the end screen reflect whether you get characters like Leia in the playthrough? I definitely never finished this game. It was just too hard. I thought Empire Strikes Back was done better and easier!

[@josemorales9197]

Yes, finding all the characters will have all of them in the end scene.

[@luke-i1w]

Empire was easier?! I could 100% Star Wars pretty easily. I could never get past all of the bounty hunters in Cloud City in Empire. I'm surprised I ever made it through Dagobah. I thought that one was much harder. Good on you for beating it.

[@KSigKid]

@@luke-i1w I remember how awesome turning in the Hoth and Bespin vehicle stages looked back then. I feel like there was also a health force power in the game. I had to go watch someone playing today, and wow, no clue how I ever managed to figure out how to get through some of the stages back in pre-Internet days. We were all probably just much better gamers!

[@luke-i1w]

@@KSigKid I LOVED the Hoth and Bespin flying levels. There for sure is a health force power. I used it all the time (and it honestly was most likely the reason I could never beat it because I was to afraid to use the actual useful force powers). Dagobah probably took me a half year to figure out. Once I did that and was rewarded with shooting down TIEs outside Cloud City, I basically gave up because that next Cloud City level was way too hard for me. I for sure was a better gamer back then. There were no distractions! Now I've got a wife and these darn kids that take up all my time!! But my 5 year old is starting to play Super Mario Brothers. He beat stage 1-1 yesterday. I'm so proud!

[@jasons9812]

This game was insanely difficult as a kid. Was not one of my favorite NES games. SW games were redeemed on the SNES.

[@Bigbacon]

never realized how there is a huge lack of sound effects in this game.

I rage quit the asteroid field

[@standepain]

Great game, Arcus! God this game felt impossible when it came out. I had and easier time with NInja Gaiden than this. Now that I think about it I'm not even sure I ever beat it. If I did "beat it" it was with the Game Genie so that doesn't count.

[@senseicorey9979]

When you're a kid, it count Game genie was amazing at the time

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

I agree with everything said here

[@shane1489]

Simply suggesting that this game be played is an insult to humanity but then he runs right through it.

How long can you keep this up?

Had to turn the audio off.

The timer doesn't officially start at 0.00 until the player gains character control.

[@josephharte9129]

Do you only play NES ?

[@Fvzzy13]

Wait you can skip the sand crawler 😮

[@DanielWesleyKCK]

I always found the NES versions of these games to be more fun than their SNES counterparts.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Sadly all of them were half-finished. Sound programming was so bad you either heard sound effects or music. No story scenes either. Very poor games in comparison to average Japanese releases.

[@bobby4459]

[@rentoptional1524]

How is Arcus 2+ minutes slower than the WR?

[@rentoptional1524]

Probably some super rare glitch to skip a segment that someone was able to pull off.
