[@Porygonal64]

I've finally deciphered the riddle! Normal Boots : Hidden Block PeanutButterGamer : SpaceHamster ProJared : BrutalMoose JonTron : Caddicarus

[@carsextendedwarranty]

No, no! You've got it all wrong! Peanutbuttergamer: Normal Boots and Space Hamster is hidden block!

[@AceAttorny]

I love how the dog's a skeleton even before the darkness touches him.

[@shadowofoblivion7233]

you most know the truth! starvation is what killed him not the darkness that dumb kid never feed his dog, poor doggy from 19xx to 19xx , feed your dogs kids.

[@AceAttorny]

Shadowof Oblivion Wake up, sheeple.

[@shadowofoblivion7233]

AceAttorny what the hell is A sheeple?

[@AceAttorny]

Shadowof Oblivion A combination of "sheep" and "people", often used by conspiracy nuts to imply that people who don't believe their crazy ramblings are just mindless following sheep.

[@shadowofoblivion7233]

AceAttorny okay

[@Bill_Stranix]

This was phenomenal when it first came out. A brilliant and hugely atmospheric game when I played it on release.

[@bellusdaisy]

fun fact: i started working at a store called Dragonmarsh last year, and they helped with this game (swords/props) only because my boss's wife (who owns the store) loves Battle Chess we're actually in the "Thanks To" credits of this game!

[@sakuraogami6885]

Oh that's cool! I'm kinda jelly.

[@everythingpony]

What really?

[@Smilley85]

This game features what has to be the most hilarious item description ever. In your travels, you come across a Sharga outhouse. One that is still in use. The item you can collect here is described as "A piece of... why did I pick this up?"

[@ultimateninjaboi]

I need to play this game, now.

[@DrDolan2000]

You picked it up because you don't think!

[@ctbritva3623]

Brutal game... One of my all-time favorites. They certainly expected you to get lost in it, fail, struggle for a long time and maybe figure it out bit by bit. I used to go to Borders (about 20 years ago) and check out the strategy guide when I was stuck, since I first played this game when I was about 10. That secret dagger would've helped me a lot back then - I only learned that secret years later. Without it, the game is very tough. I would add that you need to save on your own (and you better do that often), as the game doesn't save for you. I can't count the times I went levels without saving, only to get killed by something like the two-headed giant that kills you in one hit if you wake it up. There were statues that beat the crap out of you if you tried to take advantage of their kindness. I believe there might've even been ways to totally screw up the game and have to start over. So, you definitely want to save regularly and even keep a few save files going. You had to try to walk through every wall at some point and there were tons of secret compartments in the walls you had to look for, even if it meant going down a long hallway and looking at each section of the walls on each side. Zelda NES was a bit like that - bombing every wall. You also wanted to punch every pile of rubble, furniture and whatever you could break to see if there were items in them. You'd also need to scan the entire screen with your cursor in areas like the sewer or in rooms that were just one space, as you couldn't see everything that might be there (scan from outside the doorway). Also, you can quickly scroll through inventory using PG UP/DN. There were some other quick keys to get right to your current map back in the magic book and so on. The game's soundtrack is brilliant - I still listen to it all the time! A lot of the game was tense and creepy, but there was some good humor to it as well, especially in the Fairy Realm, which some players miss entirely, as it is possible to skip this section, which would be sad... There were strange things you could do to level up, like striking the forge and something else in the dwarven realm (I think the flint stone). The magic spells were often confusing and you'd want to write a note next to the runes as you went, so you'd have an easier time figuring out exactly what each spell did - some were difficult to figure out - you'd need to check other parts of the magic book to see what effects they had on Drake and his party. I loved the characters and voiceover work. There were some really cool characters that joined the party like Sparkle and Enigma. I know there's a ton I'm missing, but hopefully you'll figure it out - there are lots of difficult puzzles that would require a lot of patience and critical thinking, but there are lots of guides at your fingertips on the net, unlike when this game was made. What a great game! I give it my top recommendation. It's still fun to play. If you have some patience and want to play a real classic, try this one and have some patience to get through it a bit. You’ll love being lost in the Stonekeep dungeon!

[@Skysmeller1]

Yeah I got this game in the 90s I played it a ton. This was before social media when people had longer attention spans and more patience. The game was so tough but very rewarding when you figured things out. I used to think the graphics were really impressive back in the day.

[@ctbritva3623]

@@Skysmeller1 cheers! Yes, the graphics were quite impressive for the time - especially since I was 10 when it released and we didn’t have many games. The games we had were very special to me and they weren’t easy. I wasn’t able to play them as much as I wanted to either. Live-action in games was big then, but of course makes the games look dated today. It’s still very much worth playing. The atmosphere is rich, the music is awesome and the game is just a lot of fun. If anyone hasn’t heard the soundtrack through the Roland Sound Canvas... oh my! With so much time being spent at home these days, it’s a great time to play a game like Stonekeep. I hope everyone gives it a try. It’s a damn shame Stonekeep II was canceled. It would have been released around 2001 when the games being made were just awesome. This is after Interplay released Fallout amd its sequel of course. Just consider what Stonekeep II could have been... some say there are bits of its development in Fallout 3... The “Bones of the Ancestors” game is NOT Stonekeep II. As the video said, and like you mentioned, the game requires patience and there’s a lot that’s not clear, which you’ll have to figure out through a lot of trouble! Good luck to anyone who has never played a game like this - it’ll be a real challenge if you play it without any sort of guides. I recommend going in without any help and struggling through it. It’ll be the most rewarding that way. It’s meant to get you thinking and trying to find a way through the labyrinth. They didn’t make games like this to be easy! Enjoy it.

[@Skysmeller1]

This was a time when dungeon crawler RPGs were the big thing, now this style of game does not even exist anymore. Twenty five years ago this was one of the best if not the best RPG around. It won PC game of the year in 1996. But sure compared to the thousands of games after this is an easy game to pick on for good reason. I’m gonna pick up a copy soon to enjoy some nostalgia again.

[@dennisgerrits5437]

Stonekeep was a huge part of my childhood. Literally was started my taste in fantasy.

[@lavabite]

So when jakes spirit was removed form his body the spirit of his pants went too?

[@hammadraws]

That or he has some hairy ass legs o.o

[@ZhoomTheCool]

What

[@monimonn2786]

Thera gave him some nice pants

[@lieutenantlettuce8306]

Yee

[@goompo]

*_Pantergeist_*

[@makoodlecaboodle8136]

So I've seen this video like a dozen times and I just realized Thera is an anagram of Earth. My mind was blown for a second there.

[@TheMemeSheriff]

If I ever play this game, Space Hamster is my strategy guide.

[@TheMemeSheriff]

Literally, he's gonna sit on my desk and tell me things.

[@teaganpetersen9231]

I literally laughed when I read this comment, good job... I don't really laugh often

[@MrVile738]

Bullshit guys, it was its high amount of hit points the creepy part and remember that thera bitch? The one that is turned into an orb? Turns out you need all the planets... Was a teen got to final door was missing ONE orb.... How many tables did I flip that day?

[@lavaman5504]

you should see the 2 head monster and the spider are safe only if you hit them then they attack u

[@PaintstheAdmin]

Is it just me, or does the grown up version of the main character live action, look like Freddy, from ICarly?

[@satankitty2617]

We must never make such references

[@PaintstheAdmin]

I regret that I ever saw that badly written "sitcom" horrid show. Just simply making an observation.

[@SpaceHamsterGames]

HAHA, he totally kind of does.

[@GodOfTheeGames]

Personally, I think he looked a bit like PBG... Well, mostly at the part where it looks like he has no Emotion. A.k.a: That part where he was bending over, or at least kneeling over that pit thing...

[@masterhand2028]

No he looks like Jeff

[@mullent169]

Wow, this old school game actually looks pretty enjoyable. I may decided to play this one day to be completely honest.

[@hammadraws]

Definitely worth your time. I've beat it at least a hundred times

[@thackraysherpa]

Absolutely love this game, remember buying it in a bargain bin for 8 bucks having no idea what it was

[@ISeTriX]

i find that spacehamster is a cross between BrutalMoose and pbg

[@FargothsSecretHidingPlace]

Brutal moose and space hamster are roommates space hamster also edits pubahguus vids

[@andersdenkend]

Dude, never heard about you, never saw a video before, just accidentally stumbled upon this video by... I don't even remember anymore... BUT... what I wanted to say is like: Very well done. Love the editing, your narration and your humor. Well done. Subscribed.

[@Porygonal64]

Am I the only one who thinks SpaceHamster is extremely cute? >w>

[@Porygonal64]

Disabled comments because the amount of homophobia was grossly high.

[@DrDolan2000]

+@@Porygonal64 Makes sense

[@soopahcaboose]

This is why I love Spacehamsters content. There's so much time put into it and the quality of his videos are great enough for me to want to watch his videos more than once.

[@lpswalnutstudios2068]

I'm not really a wimp... but when the "Great Wahooka" screamed, "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!" ... I cried.

[@MultiLegoMan101]

Wait, both Space and Moose got haircuts recently, and they do live together....BEST FRIEND HAIRCUTS! YEAHHHHHHH!

[@Psychodegu]

13:11 has the best 3 arm attack ever crossbow and two axes.

[@Bolt9236]

Thanx again space hamster for signing my version of Stonekeep at the Portland retro gaming con!

[@ProPlanty]

I just found this game in storage, played it as a kid and am smashing it out again with the DOS BOX program, this game scared me as a kid and I couldn't get very far.. after watching this.. NO WONDER!

[@CrimsonMoonM]

Well, the dog WAS the brother of Old Yeller, Young Quiet, so I suppose his death was inevitable...

[@thatmf4739]

0:37 I think that's a fake copy.

[@gabrielmedel4496]

Oh my god, you're right. SpaceHamster is a Big Fat Phony!

[@camwoodstock]

WE'VE BEEN SMECKLEDORFED!

[@whocares5529]

***** that's not even a word and i agree with ya!

[@thedannyman4676]

No that can't be right

[@Lawlsomedude]

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@MegaSpideyman]

This was brilliant, especially the bits about how identical the surroundings are, does the dog die, the monsters, all that. Well done.

[@Eguzky]

I owned EVERY Might & Magic as a child in the pack Might & Magic Millennium Edition. I asked for it for my birthday after Heroes Of Might & Magic 2 and the expansion hooked me. I was surprised at the different gameplay, but loved it.

[@GladstnJones]

actual list of dungeon crawlers: 1. Might and Magic 2. The Elder Scrolls 3. Might and Magic 4. Stonekeep 5. Might and magic 6. Ultima Underworld 7. Might and Magic and finally 8. Might and Magic

[@cult_of_odin]

What you did. It's there. And I see it.

[@GladstnJones]

Big Boss what are you- Might and Magic- talking about

[@spoonman6256]

Dude I played the shit out of Ultima Runes of Virtue

[@GladstnJones]

[@spoonman6256]

[@Nurambus]

Kinda started laughing to hard at the "oh noooo" at 3:11

[@itchyfishxd4101]

Jesus christ! That wahooka guy scared the crap out of me when he got all close up!

[@andresv.9365]

Oh man so many memories! I remember having the exact same reaction the first time I went to the sewers and encountered that tentacle monster! I was 9 or 10 at that time, and I was so scared that I actually played the game for hours on just the first 2 levels as I was too scared to go to the sewers again. Only when I got older I got the courage to go deeper in the dungeon, tho falling into that pit with multiple tentacle monsters was terrifying even as a teen. What an amazing piece of nostalgia.

[@robertsides3626]

Ever play King's Field? Literally every fucking wall. EVERY FUCKING WALL you need to spam X on. *Wherever* you go. So many secret walls.. Some of them don't even lead to anything. Fucking From...

[@nextlevelgamer3]

[@MOVEDyeah]

Yup... somehow...

[@Roodypoocandyass]

You get two companions later. It barely helps.

[@gmikoner]

This game was amazing when I was a kid. I had the strategy guide and I played it all the way through. Trying to play it now would be nearly impossible.

[@TheUsedRockz]

Awesome book tip at the end, I love the "A Song of Ice and Fire" Books, one of the most thrilling stories i´ve ever read

Turns out this game's on GOG, if anyone else wants to play it after seeing this. Also, was one of the items in your inventory towards the end an Interplay logo?

[@jlinkous05]

You have to collect all of the planets. That one was Saturn.

Way to go, man... Highly enjoyable review, I seriously enjoyed it! Nintendo Game Boy (Part 1/2) - Sam The English Gamer! Sorry to interrupt, but I've been working on a series about video games for the past few weeks and I've finally gotten around to uploading the first episode... At least, the first part anyways. Please, feedback would be appreciated!

[@vpuploads2701]

Nice job m8

[@Sherif710]

Stop self-advertising.

[@SamTheEnglishGamer]

Sherif710 Well... What else am I supposed to do with my content? It's not mandatory to watch or anything like that. I did give my quick two-cents about the video and just wanted to quickly show what I've been doing myself and honestly, it really was hard work. Maybe SpaceHamster himself was in a similar position a few years ago; making a new series about gaming and trying to spread the word as much as possible...

[@Sherif710]

***** If you're a good youtube channel, the views and subs will come to you. Asking for them on another person's video gets you nothing, trust me. Speaking from experience here.

[@SamTheEnglishGamer]

Sherif710 Interesting advice. I think I'm in good shape so far since Part 1 of the first episode has impressed a lot of people who have seen it and... I kid you not, a mention by Game Theory! Seriously, a quick look at their Facebook page and you'll see one post talking about videos related to the history of gaming and they actually use my video as an example of a video done well and since then, I've seen a good increase in views, likes, comments and whatnot - Not bad for someone who's just begun a series...

[@onmask123]

Thank you for making great videos Jeff you're just as awesome as PBG is. You have earned a subscriber

[@MeepChangeling]

Spacehamster's approach to gaming: Encounter anything more difficult than auto-playing flappy bird. Insist you need to be a pro who knows everything already to play.

Great review! Totally digging the new look!

[@SolarFlairIsBestPony]

This game isn't quite as hard as Space Hamster makes it out to be. I rarely found myself lost, though marking healing was useful and important. The abundance of secrets were a great part of the game- it's what gave it substance (though that knife can only be found early on, if you go back it's gone- it's meant to be the 'easy mode' of the game). And you don't have to do that much running back with the magic if you... you know, use all your staves you find. Some are not as good as others, but they all hold a charge and can come right along with you.There is also a spot or two where you can spam your weapons against an object to rank yourself up in the use of them. In the dwarven area if I recall.

[@kylebezden]
