This was my Uncle Jimmy's favorite game. When I was a kid in the 80's I would watch him play this. Good memories.

One of my fave games from my childhood. Simple gameplay, very memorable soundtrack!

I was a small kid when I beat this in the 80s...it was SO frustrating (constantly falling and having to get EVERY chest...yes, I'm one of those.), that the *INSTANT* I beat it, I was done with it. I can't even imagine playing it so much that I had it all memorized to the extent you do.

Yes my favorite childhood game! This game bring back so much memories! So nostalgic! All thanks to my mother and father who blessed me with such memories RIP Mom/Dad 💓

This game was clearly ahead of its time and above most of the competition for the time of its release

This was by far better than ironsword.

This game is easily one of my top five NES games. A much-loved go-to for some casual nostalgia. And... dear Lord! This god among gamers does this game in 17:04?! I'm still in the first stage 17 minutes in!

Thank you for playing the game and it’s entirety instead of glitching back to the first stage! Also thank you for no commentary! People that sit and talk while they play drive me insane.

This game didn't make dog sense to me as a kid and I still feel the same as an adult... Good run tho

I like that when he dies he actually writhe in pain for a few seconds. I know I'm sick lol

I had no idea what to do when I played this as a kid

Thanks for posting this. One of my favorite games as a kid. I really enjoyed reliving it.

Didn't know you could use the boots of force to kick the boss. Mind blown

Remember playing this with my best friend, great memories, thanks for posting!

This was my favorite NES game as a child. I played the iron sword games as well!

My 100% favorite game as a kid

so many good memories tied to this game, thanks for sharing!!!!!

So much better than some twitch bullshit.

Oh my God lol, I was just thinking about this game and couldn't remember what it was called. The irony here is it was on a feasel speedrun of rygar that I was thinking of this game. Thanks feasel.

Jeez it took me hours to beat this game. Good way to waste an afternoon. That low health music still haunts me.

Ohhhhh man, lots of memories here!!!

First time playing this was today, although I grew up with ironsword. Thanks for showing me where the key was after the spider boss, felt like I was jumping around the castle area for 30+ minutes

I used to freak out when I heard that 'warning music' anytime Kuros had only three notches of health. I loved this game back in the day. I beat it too, but admittedly, I used at LEAST five continues to do so :P Thanks for posting this and making VERY good use of the Boots of Force =)

Thanks feasel. You're very fun to watch

Ohhh shit this game takes me back. One of my favorites.

I spend a childhood on this game, you spend 19 minutes!

A casual-play of this would be crazy. Well done.

One of five games I beat on the NES. Wizards and Warriors, Castlevania II, Tiger Heli, Gradius, and Contra 👍

I've always loved the music from games like this. This one and Gauntlet. I think it's the use of arpeggios to which I'm drawn.

I can still remember the first time I beat this game.

This was like. The Medieval DOOM I miss such kind of games

Omg I almost forgotten about this! I haven't seen it since I was a kid.

I used to play this game as a kid lol i struggled with the game but i actually got to the castle when i was like 8 lol

Loved this game as a kid. Part 2 was a lot of fun also.

This gives me ptsd to the bees and finall boss

Full stage/warpless speed runs are the best imho

Glad you avoided Garbagio

tellement des bons souvenirs,

This is the only game I ever did a speed run for. Me age 10 and my auntie age 18 had speed competitions after we beat this in the late 80’s. My best was about 23min and my aunt beat me at around 20.

Great run, I always dreaded the low health music because it was insanely repetitive!! It made me want to just let myself die if I knew I wouldn't be getting health any time soon

amazing

that jump to get the battle axe of agor was awesome, i could never get that jump

Nice! Great game

Great run! I don't even know how I beat the game because I never picked up half of those power ups.

I wish this game would have had more levels like the woods level, and outside the castle, instead of 4 straight levels of caves

Absolute pro

I only played this game a few times as a kid and had spent more time with Ironsword (which I thought was insanely difficult). Question though, if this is a speed run why spend so much time gathering gems? Are they necessary to advance and I’m missing something? Great run and entertaining video!

So a weird feeling for the "You win!" music to be the title music.

Impossibly fast I always liked the level where you climbed up the castle

As a kid, I never got why he didn’t just cross the field to the castle rather than go straight to hell and back again. I know it was to save the damsels but the look of that field was frustrating as hell.

Great game

Great run, man! Might I suggest some post-commentary overlayed during the run to explain some strats? Keep up the great work!

Caraca... a música que toca quando finaliza o jogo, é a mesma de abertura do Gauntlet do NES !! Woow

I remember how overpowered the Boots Of Force were! You can 1 shot a boss lol!

Never thought the force boots were so useful

I think there is a shorcut between the first level to the last forest level, I think I saw it in nintendo force

I've only played the sequel so this is my first time even seeing this. First impression: the music is way better in part 2.

I still remember that pip squeak boss who got bigger and BIGGER 😂

Gg

Boot of fucking force !

A true *wierd* Classic

The music at 17:20

Is that a hack letting him open chest with out keys ?

how do you collect closed treasure chests without their respective colored key?

How are you opening chests without the key of the chests color?

I realize that Kratos Leviathan Axe uses the same physics than this Knife ;)

Could never make it past the second level

holy fuck, i didn't know how to actually use the Featherfalling or Kick. I almost never got past the purple stage bc of some asshole jumps

One of the least challenging games of my childhood aside from Guerrilla Warriors.

Ah, I see you at least have a streamed version. Disregard my earlier comment!

Creo que yo nunca di patadas.

What cheat code you got going on?

Wait, what the fucking iron Sword hell!??? You defeated him with your foot???!?!? he NEVER gets close enough to me for that!!!!!!!

Is this a world record? That was insanely fast!!!

Whats not to like.

Ya'll speedrunning this but me and my friend spent 10 hours in 1988 after he got it for christmas stuck in the damned trees.

The first Dark Souls? XD

I don't know whether to think if the sounds are crazy or annoying. Constant interruptions.

Couldn't throw in a brunette or a read head?
