PC Longplay [213] Blackthorne

[@StephanusTavilrond]

"... and he ruled with honour" Bullshit! He ruled with a shotgun!

2018 and still remember this game like yesterday :-)

[@rsuriyop]

Prince of Persia with a shotgun and an 80s rockstar wig :)

[@Chubzdoomer]

Best description of Blackthorne EVER. Easily one of the most underrated platformers from that era.

[@MrZillas]

Thinking it.... reading it.... lol

[@mattx5499]

More like Flashback than Prince of Persia.

[@mattx5499]

@@---nu4ed Prince of Persia animations were created using recorded footage and rotoscoping technique frame by frame. Similar methods were used for Another World. That's why these games were cited as grounbreaking in computer animation.

[@ehaitem]

This is Flashback when joined a metal band

[@a2pha]

Definitely one of the all-time great Blizzard games. Thank you so much for showing the entire walkthrough ! That had to have been quite an effort. I got stuck right near the end on a puzzle room and you solved it for me. You can shoot the shield reactor with the last gun you are given, you don't need a bomb like before. Never occurred to me. :7

[@Konuvis]

i played this when it came out and loved the atmosphere. Shotgun, reverse shooting, dark fantasy... badass!! I keep hoping (pipedream most likely) that their next MMO is based on this universe. and it's funny how the slave masters are Orcs :)

[@droidmarket312]

this game fkin remember that, finally found it

[@11sus]

same here :|

[@eyekonik9772]

took me years to find this too!!!!!

[@jhonnysneakcustoms5414]

Took me 20 years

[@fine-art001]

[@jonathanjensen189]

I'm guessing that Lorenzo Lamas in The Renegade inspired the main character's look

[@ManoSaarinenCarmanen81]

Blizzard used to make interesting games back in '90s!

[@SprocketWalker]

They did such a good job on the graphics and environments in this game. Lots of nostalgia. Thank you for the video!

[@GhengisJohn]

Epilogue continued: The man that gave him the first shotgun upgrade received his own fiefdom and went on to father 8 children. Sarlac's left demon dog decided return to college following Sarlac's death, he studied business and accounting and now owns several shopping centers in the midwest. Sarlac's right demon dog pursued a career in hollywood, but died tragically of a drug overdose in 1998. The seer One Hand would go on to sell a successful line of gardening products while the Spirit of Thoros would be moved to new Stonefist and have a lucrative career modeling for men's fitness magazines. Galadriel the wizard continued to have a girl's name.

[@lordtikidecancer]

xd

[@jeremysart]

Sarlac can eat my bar sack. This game required incredible patience! It's like Prince of Persia meets Zelda in the Warcraftian universe. ALL HAIL THE ANDROTHI! Nostalgia for having this game on SNES when I was a kid. Recently played through the 32X iteration.

[@SandroSensei]

If only this pc version had the snes music. That this would be the ultimate version of the game.

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Wish there was a sequel for this game! Indelible memories and fun

[@JanePrague]

Oh dear, how I loved this game!!

[@Sara-hm4hc]

Loved the ending 🤣👍🏻 thank you for uploading this!! Makes me SO nostalgic and happy!!

[@saulocpp]

I see Eino likes the good old games. Just watched his Stargunner video, which I used to play desperately.

[@nonamespecified1262]

I remember playing this yeeeeeears ago.. I had an old PC, dx2-66mhz, 64mb ram. Played this and doom for hours and hours, such good times back then, we were thankful for what we had.

[@jayn8392]

Loved this game when I was a kid

[@Vetpix]

Amazing ambientation, so 90s... In terms of sound, I like a little bit more the SNES version, but DOS synth was beatiful too.

[@MusicOfDestruction]

No way, the PC sound is way better

[@Risingson2]

@@MusicOfDestruction there was no "PC Sound" at the time. You had several different options, from synth fm to soundfont based cards (general midi) to the last uses of mt32. And some games even used modtracks like amiga or snes, but with different quality of sampling. Even the OPL2/OPL3 synths did not have a standard sound. THIS example in particular, this game, sounds good because probably it uses general midi with a soundfont, as now it is very easy to do in windows, but I cannot recall how this sounded in an awe32 at the time, for example. Sorry for being super pedantic. In any case yeah, in principle this is better than the tracker music in snes but maybe because of the soundfont it sounds very messy at times, not fading the instruments.

[@usernameYT923]

Thank you so much! I have this game on the gameboySP , this video has helped me a lot each time I’ve gotten stuck🙏

[@jhonnysneakcustoms5414]

Took me 20 long years to find this 😞

[@viniciuscarvalho5395]

de mais deu uma nostalgia total. saudade de grandes amigos.

[@erronae]

I like how it's still basically fetch quests. Not much has changed.

[@societyofsin]

10 years before "The World" began. Blackthorne the first human hunter. Guess they weren't always OP.

[@OnlyZunkin]

The sound is screwy in this version with the shotgun sounding very flimsy, and the music is all wrong but it's cool to see a play through of this old classic. I still have it this cartridge stored in a box somewhere. I should dust it off sometime. The gun fighting mechanic was so unique. It really made for intense combat. I think Out of This World and Prince of Persia probably beat it on the variety of the level designs, but they couldn't touch the combat system in this game. It's shame that this style of combat was never revisited again by any other game to my knowledge.

[@BingBangPoe]

Am I the only one who wants Kyle in Heroes of the Storm?

[@IIISpeeder]

not you ... me too

[@fine-art001]

Old memories, after a decade found on KZbin. I'm still alive 😇😇😇😇

[@ElledarBlackraven]

Looks a lot like Flashback. With 150% more badassery.

[@iBlackphone]

o the nostalgia.... thanks for the upload!

[@Dosgamert]

I like this music too, this is something else if you're used tot the soundblaster/adlib music. I really don't mind this, it's even creepier and it sounds more advanced/comples. But still I prefer the soundblaster/adlib though.

[@Skios]

While I'm not sure the combat system or the platforming would hold up well today, I was pleasantly surprised that some of the puzzles were far more intricate than I remember them being. I wonder why they never did more with the IP. I guess it was because other Blizzard projects (I'm mainly thinking of Warcraft here) ended up taking more of their resources and attention?

[@cihan.kurucu]

My youth with amd 368 dx40... after 486 dx2-66 and thiss game. With S3 trio 64+ wawwww what a such years.

[@QuasarVortex]

How hard can it be? This is how ENTERTAINMENT with good GAMEPLAY looks like......

[@DanyAI92]

The SNES soundtrack was so MUCH better!

[@aprendendoyoutube3942]

I think the snes have better FPS too... thats version for PC looks to much weird. And the snes version is more dark...

[@eoqueacasaoferece]

i agree with you

[@traviscarver4708]

I loved this game growing up!

[@pugdragon]

After getting a potion from a prisoner 'Thanks.' Walks past him and shoots behind

[@lucascantino393]

35:50 This song, sounds like Gil Melle, featured in the episode Los Espíritus Chocarreros by Chavo del ocho

[@PixelStacker]

I'm guesswork that Lorenzo lama in The Renegade inspired the main character's look absolutely

[@ultraverydeepfield]

it's seems like a mix between "flashback", 1992, and "persian gulf inferno",1989.

[@mikemurdock7234]

Had this game on SNES, good times.

[@Theenemy38]

i was playing this one on the SNES a few minuets ago i was thinking about trying to record and submit but my computer slows down when using fraps oh well glad to see someone finally did this one I'm still trying to beat it. (thank goodness for save states)

[@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370]

Who else wants this badass to return in a modern title?

[@Doctrinnn]

Thanks for the video! Watched all through at 2x

[@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233]

The one true king, to rule the Land with a shotgun!

[@TheSardo12]

Sarlac is killable without him even scratch. Just roll and stand, roll and stand. Do not even have to hide a weapon. :)

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Not even DMJared could fully do justice to the fact that Kyle can shoot a shotgun ONE ARMED BEHIND HIM WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING.

[@Tomkalhotka]

orcs??? last boss looks like diablo?? i know what you did blizzard :) anyway black thorne looks like nice old metroid

[@arianwooo2674]

hi its been 7years just checking if you are alive

[@kiddhkane]

Blizzard never was very creative.

[@Aurora2097]

That is some weirds architecture... but so,glad they could get peter steele for this role!

[@Highretrogamelord]

Oh hell yeah! Played the sh*t out of this game as a kid. Granted, I had just the demo...but it was still awesome! :D

[@Soulshake]

new champ for Hotz

[@thessop9439]

Yes!

[@casedistorted]

wow, never considered someone might just beat the final boss without rolling. I thought everyone kind of figures out the easiest way to deal with him is to use the rolling around trick since you can keep your gun out and dodge the solar fireball blasts at the same time, but sprinting also works too! Not a tough final boss once you know the tricks, but I wish there was more. I always thought this game was way longer than it actually was on the Snes as a kid (maybe compared to Out of This World and Flashback it felt longer) but its only about a 2 hour long game. Maybe I just like games in the 2-4 hour length.

[@Spider333]

Buy yourself a Soundblaster, friend. The sound and music will get so much better.

[@TheriusO94]

The style of gameplay is like Prince of Persia

[@taesu8]

Is it me, or does this game remind me of flashback game interface wise.

I got to play the SNES version of this game as a kid. Not as epic as Flashback or Out of This World, but still a great game thanks to the crazy gunfights you can get yourself into.

lol at the ending, with the submissive woman at Blackthorne´s left side, almost looks like a slave...

Blackthorne should be deserved to be the next hero in the Nexus in Heroes of the Storm.

[@greathelmm]

still sporting the wifebeater even after becoming the king

[@LuminousPath13]

After seeing this now, I think the SNES is the better version. The music was much better and it made the game a lot more atmospheric.

[@TheGimpPimp1]

l wish Hollywood would stop going the cash grab route and make an awesome video game movie based on something like this....

[@waynedrew7074]

This game is FUCKING EPIC.

[@WillBurgify]

This is not the same guy who always plays. The person playing here has a long way to go still

[@digimeth1216]

The intro music on PC is WAY Better than the SNES and 32X version; at 1:34 you can just feel the sheer epicness of the situation, and it's truly masterfully done. The rest of the Soundtrack is not so good but you can't have it all. But that's just my opinion.

[@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin]

This is like the same OST as warcraft 1 almost. Pretty much all the same instruments can be heard. (chimes, bass guitar, bongos, trumpet, snare drum, cymbals, cassio keyboard, etc.)

[@ShinobiLJ]

perfeito jogo !!!

[@Adam-gb3yj]

Collateral damage people. That is the price for your freedom ~Kyle 🤣🤣

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

More Flashback than Prince, never played this looks good though

[@Konuvis]

The fucking level at 1h is driving me insane. I keep falling to my death even though I have 3 potions!

[@i-N-k-Primus]

Prince of persia + Contra + Nightwolf as a protagonist = Blackthorne

[@mouthmw]

It's closest to feel and controls to Flashback. More so than PoP, Oddworld, Another World or other "cinematic platformers".

[@WarBoy87]

lmao when he shot those guys!

[@JayBlackthorne]

Blackthorne rocks.

[@lukejams]

I dunno why doesn't anyone talk about how the player character sprite looks like brett hart. That's why I ever got attracted to it.

[@bumblebee1091]

Abe's Oddysee came out afterwards, but I see many similarities. Makes me think it woulda been cool if Abe got hold of a shotgun -if only briefly- during his adventure

[@MusicOfDestruction]

This game is incredible

[@Bimshwel]

oh they removed those corny blue hershey's kiss raindrops from the second zone. That effect could certainly be IMPROVED but deleting it entirely seems excessive.

[@abdd.challab7700]

1:58:20 is that the orcish flag from warcraft 1 and 2?

Interesting game, but oh so many questions (such as considering his weapon is from earth why doesn´t it run out of ammunition), and also he doesn´t seem to be the brightest torch in the woods.

This game can be downloaded from many abandonware sites. It can be run via dosbox.

[@cthrekgoru]

Did those orcs always had advanced tech or prince came back many years later ? I always wondered about that. He passed 20 years on earth, maybe hundreds of years passed in his own world ?

[@Sandokiri]

Blizzard is now offering it for free over battlenet. Tasty nostalgia.

[@SandroSensei]

what do you think of the fact the snes was censored in comparison to the pc? The game is very heavy metal so I HATE they censored out the blood, as well al the gameover screen and bloodsplatter in the blizzard logo. The skull based item menu for the pc also was more in the style of the game (heavy metal). To bad they only added the snes and 32x version for the Blizzard Arcade Collection. Why do you think they didnt added the pc dos version as well?

[@samsschool3639]

What a great leader to leave all his people to die

[@stephen-ng]

Up for grabs - Kyle's ∞ shotgun (for some reason, he has infinite ammo with his shotgun through the game) and Lester's / Ness' alien handgun from Another World / Out of This World. Which one is better?
