The Adventures of Bayou Billy Speedrun in

[@Soloist1983]

This game kicked my ass so hard growing up, but the music was legendary, at least that first level...damn, it had all the funk an NES could put out

[@konnoyasuki1856]

Konami at its ancient prime in the 80s made the BEST NES Music. Bar None.

[@KasranFox]

I'm convinced Feasel is some kind of an elder being just for being able to finish this game, let alone do it fast. Holy cow.

[@teamborange4996]

Someone did it in 16 minutes

[@FlibTheBard]

As a child I could beat contra, I could beat double dragon 2, I beat zelda and it's second quest, I beat dragon warrior, I beat megaman 3. I could not beat the first level of Bayou Billy.

[@myfingershurt3489]

The enemies take like a million hits for them to die but few hits taken from you your ass dies quicker then quicksand

[@sigurdtheblue]

Zelda 2 seems a lot more comparable to this game. Thankfully Zelda 2 is not too hard with just a few tricks.

[@kabookegrande8998]

I beat all mega man

[@kaseybrown7664]

Started by watching GDQ in 2018.... then went through their playlist and steadily started watching older and older stuff. It's interesting to watch how the show evolved. Now I'm at something recorded in 2013.... looks like they started by filming in someone's living room and gradually became a professional studio. Fascinating.

[@sigurdtheblue]

I love how characters walk in this game, especially to that music. Amazing that a speedrun of this game can be so fast.

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

Feasel no wonder we all like you. You make this game actually look fun, and you're amazing with that zapper. I'm now convinced that Bayou Billy (along with Contra Force) should be redeveloped as a Rebirth title with heavily improved mechanics and visuals. Let's hang out sometime! We could go to Bourbon Bourbon, Pool Pool Pool, Bar Jazz Bar, or MOON KONAMI.

[@e11aguru]

I love when he says "Glad that's over. I can't take another driving stage." right before another driving stage.

[@mockingbird9646]

Lots of fun to watch thanks!!! And I swear, one day they will notice all these comments, pleeeeeaaaassse, can we not just have a ticker for the donations? I mean Feasel is working through the difficult precise driving stage and instead of getting to concentrate he along with the rest of us gets to hear these numerous (albeit generous) donations being read out paragraph after paragraph. I do hope in The next year or two they will consider the ticker option

[@societyofsin]

Feasel is my favorite runner. Good stuff

[@SloreTactician]

Bayou Billy, where you can hit a black man with a whip in the South.

[@Ephraim225]

"He was whipping ME just a minute ago!" - players who did just that

[@konnoyasuki1856]

The setting is actually Australia I think given the movies that inspired it.

[@Iliek]

That's my kind of game.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Watching certain games being run reminds of how bad I suck at those games. This is probably one of the hardest NES games ever, but we were stoked on it as kids, idk why..

[@tarekcrash9512]

HOW DID HE DO THAT.? 😱😱

[@SegaRising]

Holy shit this brings back memories. I had this game as a child and used to try and beat every once in a while although failing miserably. Unfortunately my NES and games were given away so I was never able to beat this game.

[@Rusty511]

As soon as the run hit 22:52 this game instantaneously became my new favorite game. Shoot Psy? So ahead of its time.

[@MattiasAndersson1989]

Awesome game, awesome runner, thanks SDA.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Pretty cool how the bearded guy on the couch can just turn into a giraffe when he wants. 18:17

[@jcrizzle]

I had a good time playing this as a kid. The crushing loses! Now that's a deep game

[@somekindoflandcow]

i actually love this game unironically, i think it's really fun

[@ZyklnAeon]

Cant believe this speedrun exist

[@LimeymanZero]

This game had no chill! I remember playing it as a kid and never getting to the driving part for so long! Also, this guy is really good and he finished the driving with seconds left!

[@Patashu]

Note that NES games do NOT use ASCII - but they use a similar idea (there's a series of text tiles in memory, including all numbers, characters and symbols, and they're arranged in an arbitrary order for that game - so each game has different garbage above 9)

[@rexviperfan]

For anyone who was interested in knowing why it displayed odd things above 9, it's because (and this is only a guess, but I'm very sure that this is why) the variable is a char variable, after 9 it goes : then ; etc look up an ascii table, it starts at 48 for 0 (and probably checks if ( 48 == (int)lives ) for when the player dies) at 57 it becomes 9, and at 58 it becomes ':'

[@MR1mbuster]

Can't hate the music, it's pretty good in my opinion ^_^

[@JackCaliber]

DE ADVENTSHEAURES OF BAUEOBIYEEE!

[@Zathurastra]

We had Bayou Billy when I was a kid, and I never knew it was a lightgun game, because I never got past the first stage. My uncle might have, but I've no idea idea how he fared using the controller to shoot, lol.

[@Sercil00]

Spoony made that game look humanly impossible to finish He actually made it look somewhat easy

[@ShockL0ver]

The game mechanics do not really allow for a speed run, but nice job. I was curious about this game as a child, but watching this now, I am glad I didn't waste money on it!

[@maxlandry2745]

nice job!! i never pass the first stage.

[@MatthewFoos]

That was epic......

[@mopbrothers]

No one thought it possible to beat this game without an emulator. Now they see this video

[@fiveways]

Fry's pretty awesome with a whip.

[@Ardepark]

Owned this game since I was 5. Beat it ONCE.

[@LizardkingMario]

Holy crap, they based the length of those driving stages on real world distances.

[@SpeedDemosArchiveSDA]

Crocodile Dundee ftw

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

'member when Feasel was still speedrunning? I 'member!

[@michaellopez2070]

Literally the typical Mardi Gras experience.

[@Count_Vampz]

This Zapper...is the best Zapper...Ever!

[@AllenSorensen]

So awesome. Great run. I wanna see Renegade!

[@vaporsaver]

Yo I had a light gun and only used it for Duck hunt, I had no idea you could use it with these shooting sections, I used the controller...goddamn stupid 5 year old me.

[@rangoononline]

Bad guys in this game look like wearing a fitbit and trying to get their steps in.

[@Housewurk]

good fukkin shooting. Billy the kid!

[@xaer0knight]

Shout out to SpoonyOne. did a fun review of this game way back

[@bahamutdragons]

Pretty cool to see Dominic Monaghan on the couch

[@xXdarkwolf101Xx]

this god damn game ruined me

[@AeronDoesThings]

I like how the guy on the left sits like Dr. Evil.

[@reddbest0153]

man used to beat this game with too many attempts at the first stage since i was 9 .

[@BikerTrashWolf]

I thought I read somewhere that the american version driving stages were nearly impossible with how little fuel they give you to add more fake difficulty for the american market

[@FraldinhoBJJ]

The premise of this game never made any damn sense but I loved it when I was like 8

[@_Snowflame]

Will Feasel be able to find the swamp chicken, where the SpoonyOne failed?

[@roissyavontam8084]

in russia this game name is - "crocodile sir"

[@_Snowflame]

I cannot be evaded.

[@myyoutubepage199]

is it just me who thinks the enemies look like elvis?

[@AdamSmithNES]

Crack that whip!

[@iansmith9689]

Worst part of this run is the zapper parts. He's not holding the best way and one of his eyes are shut. When handling a smaller fire arm, both eyes open, but keep the sights aligned with one eye.

[@blanktester]

Why is that the preferred method? Not a gun person, im just curious. I find it difficult to align with one eye and keep both open, just doing so in my living room gives me a slight headache. Maybe it would be different with a real target to look at.

[@tightlypackedcoil]

+blanktester he learned one technique, but that's not a solid rule.

[@rexviperfan]

Oh, cool, thanks.

[@collinswizinski4573]

you need to make the game screen bigger

[@benv807]

the facial hair in the room is overpowering

[@Asmodias666]

play this game with the power glove LOL

[@ThisIsGamerLisD]

Oh god that avatar. I remember that ;_;

[@kazejah1014]

"This game has the best music and the worst game play" LMFAO...the truest statement about this game oh my lord.

[@ArtoPekkanen]

:D the adventures of mr. Jump McKick xD

[@PeterParker-vq2cz]

i still cant make it past stage one....not even close....

[@stevenschiro1838]

Amen

[@sleepwalker29]

I beat this game with the game genie.

[@beng4151]

It seems there are two speed runners who kick major ass - Feasel and Funkdoc. They speedrun multiple games and fucking dominate them.

[@nxrevolution3289]

He is holding the controller wrong

[@yittmashups]

But he beat the game and we can't, so maybe we're holding it wrong.

[@TheLightningshard]

When are you guys going to upload SGDQ 2013?

[@progmanrob]

"or as I like to call it, the adventures of Jump McKick." Nothing....

[@whatsreallygoingon253]

i could never beat lvl 2 on this

[@happymasksalesman6802]

pauseunpause did this in 22:00

[@GooseOmega]

Are you guys going to post Cosmo's run?

[@nfoquest5738]

so much laughing, but nothing funny. This was one of the hardest games to finish, every level is such a hassle

[@ArcRay20]

all the running guys in the 2nd shooting stage look like Psy

[@Pedro_Kantor]

180mph?

[@Jerkwad152]

JAZZBARJAZZ

[@regularstan6212]

AVGN brought me here

[@SpetsnazFP]

I clicked on 2:24 and almost crapped my pants! LOL!

[@akahitsuki]

I don't think he owns it though :/

[@vonBelfry]

Orange gun original

[@TonyMontanas]

As a kid i beat this game without even losing a life, afterwards I never played it again. Hardest game I ever beat.

[@yittmashups]

Then you woke up.

[@JNo-sk5mz]

Such a good but flawed game

[@СерёгаЧернец-и5м]

good))

[@ReMeDy_TV]

This is ridiculous. So this game is even difficult in some respects for this speed runner!? He cant beat the final boss without the whip!? He nearly ran out of time on the 2nd driving stage despite a near flawless run at 180 mph!? This game is a joke. The developers need to be taken out back and shot... err, I mean whipped.

[@newguy90]

The Japanese developers upped the difficulty for the US release to punish US gamers who would rent the game. The original Japanese version is a lot easier.

[@Hayao]

The developers had nothing to do the flaws you mentioned, it was the North American publisher that ruined the game.

[@newguy90]

***** Konami themselves published the game in the US. And Konami wasn't the only Japanese company to do this. In Japan, you cannot rent a game, but in the US, at that time, it was legal for video stores to rent out games. That meant Japanese companies were only receiving money from the initial sale to the video store in North America. A lot of people who would have bought the game were renting it. To solve this issue, Japanese companies upped the difficulty so that it couldn't be beaten during the typical 3 day rental time, without it becoming very expensive for the user. Suddenly, outright buying the game becomes the cheaper option.

[@Hayao]

Yeah, hence why Ninja Gaiden III's and Castlevania III's difficulty were cranked up in similar fashions. I guess my initial comment was poorly phrased, but I was trying to say that those flaws are exclusive to the (butchered) NES release, the real version of the game is vastly superior.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

newguy90 How does that solve the issue?

[@8eyesgamer883]

destroyed this game when I was 8, kind of miss it

[@DaveDurango]

i can smell the loneliness and BO from here

[@F4ctoryCat]

Back when ADGQ was actually done with people who were good at the game rather than good at breaking the game.

[@memberberries5301]

Look at all the virgins lol jk

[@shawn576]

One of the least enjoyable games of all time.
