[TAS] NES A Nightmare on Elm Street "4 Players" by Samsara in

[@infinite_sun_rays]

Four very pissed off teens tired of Freddy's garbage tear through Elm St.

[@pikachu896]

You mean Freddy's™ garbage.

[@Mega_Mikey]

When Freddy underestimates the kids who do track & field as well as boxing

"You picked the wrong house fool!" - Big Smoke

[@kinooshino]

Forgot to add gymnastics 😭

[@pokepress]

Turns out Freddy was the one having the nightmare.

[@KalHimself]

Gotta admit, the concept of a 4 player Freddy Krueger game on NES back in the day sounded so awesome.

[@Zeoinx69]

I had got to experience it as a kid growing up. We ended up having it, so was me, my friend, and my parents all playing NoES together. Loved the Ninja powers back then.

[@guardiane]

Was ahead of its time? Maybe? I never had the opportunity back then to try 4 players...I'm sure had I bugged my parents at Christmas time, they would've gotten that 4 player NES adapter thing, but how many games really utilized 4 players back then? Ah well, never too late to play now ;)

[@Spikechive]

Freddy Krueger wasn't wondering why they weren't screaming... he was wondering how he died so quickly.

[@maxthompson7107]

If this was actually how people dealt with Freddy Krueger back in the day, he’d be long gone by now.

[@masonvega]

Me struggling to run in my dream: "Is it Freddy or is it lag?"

[@dansmith1661]

I know that feeling all too well as a kid.

[@jayhogard6903]

This was fun to watch the players navigate the game with perfection. This game was so hard

[@Valientlink]

it was brutal, its like the shtick was you really want 2-4 players otherwise you're in for hell

[@clankbeast482]

I love how they just merge together into a hideous deathball to take care of bosses

[@ZhynZokuna]

My favorite part of this is how they're running with such purpose.

[@thepopemichael]

I forgot how good the music is on this game. Also, this was one of the most entertaining TAS that I've seen in a while when it comes to general player movement.

[@NarffetWerlz]

Freddy never expected a crack-team of elite active dreamers.

[@killboi207]

Freddie's skeleton consists of 76 femurs apparently.

[@alecrutz956]

imagine not having 76 femurs lmao

[@micaelmarcos4323]

Never skip leg day, all he needs is legs to chase you in nightmares

[@KRS2000]

I thought those were wrenchs lol

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

Super Freddy wonder

[@KarmaJolt]

The movie should've had this much punching.

[@Sledgex3]

2:08 Boys: Take care of him! Girls: Got it! 10:33 (The entire team switches to Ninjas, except for the Blue Boy. They're looking at him with confusion.) Blue Boy: What. I prefer shorts, okay? Rest: You're the leader. (All of them switch to Javelin)

[@VonFirflirch]

That's my favorite part of TASes. If there's nothing to be done to go faster, you can be sure they'll do something silly in the mean time x)

[@pentelegomenon1175]

Then they look at each other like "whoa."

[@ドロシールイーズ]

[@LostOneOmega]

Bobby Blue plays by his own rules. That's why he's a cool dude.

[@l3igl2eaper]

lol at that ending... Freddy™ is dead

[@ThatGuyDowned]

The only time you’ll see four people play this game. However, the music for this game is really good.

Freddy's(TM) coming!

He sure is! - AVGN

[@thepopemichael]

@@themcc1879 AVGN has ruined me for this game. All I can see is glory hole'd Freddy Dick™ >_>

Enjoy the run, y'all!

[@avalonjustin]

No one punches giant spiders better than you, mate

[@thepopemichael]

This was super entertaining. I love the player movement!

[@odinnoah1340]

Nice run, do you play Smash Bros?

[@SamsaraTAS]

@@odinnoah1340 casually. it's hard to play competitively when you control four characters at once

Me and the Boys going in to kick a nightmare demon's ass

[@TwilightBrawl59]

“Now, I can't imagine having four people playing this game. Who's gonna wanna play this piece of shit? I'm lucky if I can get one other person. I have a better chance of cloning myself!”

[@koholintisland2167]

The Nightmare on Elm Street movies are scary on a whole level man. I don't even remember a scene where four grade school children ran around punching spiders, but it's because I repress it.

[@KaguyaH]

The music in this game really isn't half bad

[@m.a.packer5450]

This was oddly satisfying to watch

[@KeijiNoSora]

I'm just imagining the cinema making this into a movie, Nightmare on TAS street

[@maxthompson7107]

I wish more games had 4 player compatibility in the NES days.

[@zsslasherz93]

I was not expecting this level of awesomeness.

[@jamesl.anderson1384]

The Dream Warriors & The Dream Master Nancy Thompson - Can pull items and people out of Dreams. As demonstrated in the first movie, where she pulled Freddy's hat out and then later Freddy. Kristen Parker - Pulling other people (and animals, noted by Kincaid's dog Jason) in and out dreams and gymnastic like agility. Joey Crusel - Super sonic scream Roland Kincaid - Super human strength. Will Stanton - Can walk in his dreams and has magical abilities based off his favorite Tabletop RPG, The Wizard Master. Taryn White - Enhanced confidence, beauty, and toughness also expert at using switchblades, and her clothes change into 80 punk rocker. Alice Johnson - Alice was the Dream Master, or the guardian of the positive gate, the gateway to good dreams. And as such, she had the power (and responsibility) to guard the sleeper whilst they dreamed. And as such, Alice had the unique ability to absorb the dream powers of Freddy's most recent victims.She also absorb kristen powers pulling people into dreams, and gymnastics like agility , rick powers of karate mastery and sheila power of technology and Debbie toughness. Mark Gray - The ability to morph into his comic book character, The Phantom Prowler. Rick Johnson - karate mastery

[@dabbasw31]

They should make a final "Nightmare on Elm Street" one-A movie (the actual franchise is over anyway) where the Slasher trope is subverted and the good guys (an ensemble) actually reach a major victory and blast Freddy into oblivion without anyone else dying. ;)

[@skudzer1985]

FREDDY wasn't REDDY for these kids

[@Steph_7d7]

That the coolest speedrun of this game ive ever seen, pure awesomeness 😊

[@charlir2954]

I'm having a hard time figuring out who is actually having the nightmare here

[@SamsaraTAS]

that would be me, dealing with lag reduction while making this run

[@SketchofGoogle1978]

They're definitely The Dream Warriors

[@ilmannurhaman1567]

The Dream Warriors : Young Blood

[@TheEman590]

Dokken: "And maybe tonight you'll be gone!"

[@Chernobog2]

10:53 Ah yes, the Elms Thigh building

[@Faber0k]

The way this is tas'd kinda reminds me of little big planet.

[@Faber0k]

@Sebas7710Fun opinion: The Ps3 was actually named after the 3 capabilities it had.. playing Little Big Planet, FFX HD, and, blu-rays.

[@ravynramon]

The synced jumping had me rolling, looks like dancing.

[@Ghaz002]

this was way better than the movie

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

this game supports simultaneous 4 player? dadgum, don't see many NES games that support that. Heck, it's uncommon to see any game support that.

[@hammylove821]

You needed a special adapter to even plug-in more than 2 controllers, so that's why.

[@TheEman590]

​@@hammylove821Too bad it couldn't be done for the Ninja Turtles games, the arcade was the only place to play all 4 turtles at once.

[@doomr4a]

there is " 4 " nightmares

[@DespairBringer]

The blue guy looks just like Mario Lopez's Slater from Saved by the bell.

[@kykiske321]

Never knew the NES could support 4 controllers

[@SamsaraTAS]

FourScore's a hell of an accessory, and only a handful of games supported it, mostly sports games or other purely competitive things. i think this is the only platformer that uses it?

[@darkalignis6128]

Tas: *Completes the game in **14:45** seconds...* Me & Friends: *Spending 10 minutes trying to enter the first house by pressing up button at the same time*

"Where am I going to find three other people to play this game? I'd have a better chance of cloning myself!" (Various profanities x 4) --AVGN

[@JR-me1so]

I always like to 4 TAS players play through games such as this game and New Super Mario Bros Wii!

[@azforu29]

I still remember a dream I had after renting this game from Major Video. My brother and myself had bunk beds and a Fraggle Rock poster in our old room and in my dream my great grandfather who we called Grampa Whiskers did a backflip over our bunk beds, but it was just a shadow shape that my brain interpreted as him. Only time in my life that I was paralyzed with fear. I tried to scream Mom!but nothing would come out. And it was because we were playing scary games way to young.

[@pentelegomenon1175]

High entertainment value on this one.

[@-Terzetto]

This is Freddys nightmare.

[@metalgearrichard6276]

They should have called this game Boo: Haunted House

[@Zevaeros]

The big question is: How did LJN con Rare into doing a game for them?

[@MichaelSchiciano]

Probably because Rare was an independent studio that needed money. A lot of licensed games come from that angle - you're a small studio, get approached by a publisher who'll pay you for a quick license game, and you do it.

[@Zevaeros]

@@MichaelSchiciano Eh, they had plenty of titles under their belt by then - sure, I can see a cash grab but they had RC Pro Am, Wizards & Warriors, and plenty more before this was done. LJN had so many...questionable games (I remember borrowing Jaws from a friend and distinctly hating it). Maybe that's just me.

[@solarflare9078]

LJN conned Rare 6 times in total. Same with Atlus.

[@Zevaeros]

@@solarflare9078 I can at least respect Atlus, haha

[@nunyanunya4147]

''everyone punch the spider and remember... the red shirted ass is the main character so shine him up like a new penny"

[@Radman1889]

WHO WOULD WIN: A dream stalking serial killer OR Four punchy bois and grils

[@supermariofan772003]

Four players be like: We are gonna beat you to death.

[@solarflare9078]

Quite surprising how an NES can handle 4 players running around at the same time (even though there is a bit of slowdown), but hey, that's Rare for you.

[@breadfiesta]

Dang, I was really rooting for red girl. Well, gg red guy.

[@BigBlack20]

The bosses said fuck this shit at the end and sent the glove out to distract the teens while everyone else ran away

[@dianaayuba-g4q]

4p tas be like the last speedrun I ever had

[@Prokudak]

Masterpiece 👏🏻

[@ripp3rjak934]

It’s like... the teens met the doomslayer and now they’re not afraid of Freddy all of a sudden.

[@lilwyvern4]

This game really isn't as bad as people say it is. Being sort of generic is about its greatest sin, but for the glut of licensed titles on the NES, this is one of the better ones. Also it was developed by Rare, which has to be worth something.

[@jsbmx2039]

Freddie's nightmare

[@endermenon4836]

I hate it when I'm a hideous disfigured monster minding my own business, and then a bunch of kids show up and start beating the shit out of me.

[@garrettwidner6915]

They seriously put a fucking trademark symbol next to Freddy's name in the game lol...

[@DrRockso79]

I feel like the general premise of this game could have worked a lot better if it was based on Dream Warriors and not the original movie.

[@alphadavenport]

this movie would fucking rule

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

this is what modern MMORPGs minmaxing feels like

Seems like it. Game seems designed well enough with four players in mind.

@@kingdomcome3914 Keep in mind that things always go perfectly in a TAS, but even in clips of the 4 human gameplay I see some clever design elements.

[@kingdomcome3914]

@@pentelegomenon1175 It's why I said, "well enough". The game has a level design that allows a better sync between players.
