You are the cutest human possible with your hambuglery shirt and your fascination with 90s fast food seating. Please never stop being you. - joel

I worked at McDonlad's in the late 80's and early nineties. We had quite a few kids parties and they were a nightmare. In the end they were stopped because of the destruction of property, the mess, the kids "interacting" with other customers etc. All the things little kids do, but we were only a small store. I remember one particular one was a party of 12 and only 2 adults! We were still cleaning up glitter a week after that finished. It was fun for the kids (we had a ball pool, too,) but for us staff it was a nightmare!

Love your videos. Who would't want to hang out and play videos games with Erin all day...

I KNEW WENDY WAS THE HAMBURGLER!! *Myth-Confirmed*

Wow! So glad I discovered this show! Long time oldskool platformer fan, ex NES owner. Forgot how good the graphics could be...super clean. Keep up the great work sweetie x

Erin lets build a time machine and go back to the 80s!

2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun

The Donald Land game, feels like an actual "McDonalds" game as the advertising is strong and has references to the items on the menu. The call out to the product placement. Which I also agree, the references are strong.

"I think all these trees should have faces" - Erin 2018

It startd at 16:54 ...Annoyed, cursing Erin is cutest, best Erin. ❤😂

I would love it if Erin guested on a James and Mike Mondays episode. Erin, James and Mike Monday! Make it happen!!

I've also witnessed this McDonald's birthday party phenomenon. I remember that it was a very dark, rainy night, and some ice cream with strawberry syrup and... that's about it; most of my memories of the '80s are just shattered fragments. I do know that I've never seen those hamburger chairs or bar stools before. The McDonald's restaurants out here in the middle of nowhere don't have things like that, but one of them had a big tube filled with water and bubbles, and was lit in all different colors, like a fiber optic lamp. This game seems like a real labor of love; I really like the scenery, but those apples look tricky to use. You seem to have them just about mastered, though!

So I got a new famicom console for the first time, and saw this video and decided to buy the game. What a fun little game to add to the collection. Thanks for playing and suggesting, I love it!

Please keep it up! I've rekindled my love of playing classic games with friends because of actual positive attention towards old videogames content creators like you post!

I love our McDonalds and I have gotten a lot of awesome stuff from them! Like old merchandise in the back room and not as cool as this but I did get the halloween tape from my childhood!! haha

Excellent video Erin!! Nice game, although that part with the red baloon looks very frustating, and also a little bit disturbing 'cause "Donald Mcdonald" with the red baloon reminds me of PennyWise🎈😐✌

Great video Erin! I’ve never heard of Donald Land before. It’s terrific, great seeing all the characters from McDonaldland. Cool Erin Plays Lego intro also 😎

Awesome video, well-worth the wait! Production quality is getting better and better, too :)

Because of your videos I'm thinking to start playing retro games again! Thanks Erin! Great channel by the way ;)

My little brother had a bday at McDonald's. This McDonalds had a special room for them. Full of arcade machines and a creepy McDonaldland pirate ship scene painted on the wall. 😆

I love you tube. I rented this game when I was about 15 or 14 years old, and I was so impressed with it in the 80s and I have constantly looked for it but I couldn’t find it and here we are

Omg Global Gladiators - So Remember That.. Might Have To do A Video On That Game.. Fab Video ✨☺️

I'm not exactly sure, but it must have been at least 4 or 5 times that I had my birthday party at McDonalds. I used every chance to come to McDonalds as a kid. And that really hasn't changed since then😄 Thank you for showing us these fantastic games👍

I fuckin snort-laughed when I saw the preview of this video with you rockin Hamburglar gear. Well done!

I can't help but think of that scene in the simpsons. STOP! STOOOOP, HE'S ALREADY DEAD!

Guys let's make sure Erin has her birthday at McDonalds. 😉👍 (This kind of reminded me of Wario Land on original GameBoy)

Bought this game a few years back cause it looked slightly creepy with that box art. Weird but not bad game. I still want the Game Gear McDonald's game but it costs a bit more than a Happy Meal so nope. Thanks for another video!

I chose to believe that when Ronald gets hit by an enemy in this game he actually enters into close quarters combat with it, which explains the dust cloud and "punching" noises. He can only get into combat a certain number of times before he gets tired and gives up, which is why he prefers throwing bombs.

This Intro's really remind me of Cinemassacre. So Ronald McDonald runs around in a town, fightin Angry Bird Bosses, running around in the forest in the SKY! And fighting a psychopathic lizard whose eyes are freaking out.

Hi Erin So After Watching CineMassacre For Years & Mike Matei Live I Came Across Your Channel & I’m Really Enjoying Your Content Btw I Think That You Are Absolutely Adorable You Earned a New Subscriber Also I Can’t Understand How You Don’t Have Over a Million Subscribers Because Your Channel Is Great

17:06 That bomb jump was inspired! Shades of Umihara Kawase right there. Or, you know, Metroid. Bring on the Donald Land romhacks!

Found yah today! Enjoying the vibes here and the happy feels 🤘' Keep up the good work Erin ✅

That music on sky level though.....not gonna lie. It's...kinda ambiguously addictive.

I found out about this game from a Game Dave review and I just love how weird it is! Nice to see you tackle this game!

Hi Erin, I'm new here. I've been watching some of your videos and I feel a good vibe with the way you comment on them. You have genuine happiness when you talk about the video games you know or have and you don't try to be the best, you just try to do things your way and you try to enjoy how much or how little you can do in each of them because you focus on the experience (good or bad) that you feel when playing them and how much happiness you felt both in your childhood and now for experiencing something from that great era (that by the way I also lived). I feel your personality like when I get a new retro game and come to my mind several experiences I lived before that give sense to why I felt the need to own it and play it in the first place, even if I suck at first, because I know that at some point I will return to it, advance it and over all I will enjoy it again because it makes me happy the simple fact of meaning something for my life. In short, I like your content based on retro games and over all, your way of commenting based on your experience and that is why I subscribe. I hope your subscribers keep growing more and more. P.S. I know this is a old video, but I hope it doesn't matter so much. P.S. I like M.C. Kids too. It's a shame that those beloved characters of the Ronald McDonald gang were not important part of the game, but the game itself is cool, specially the upside-down feature. P.S. 27:07 It's funny but I can imagine the stress you felt at that point. Some NES games make me feel the same way at certain points.

This weird and wonderful video exemplifies why you are one of only two content creators I choose to get notifications from (the other is Cinemassacre). You’re funny, charming, endearingly nerdy, and your production value is top notch! Thanks for being totally awesome!

Okay this is officially the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen but I love it

Just completed the game tonight, it was difficult in the Castle World, the Evil Hamburglar was harder than the Evil Wizard

I just got learned! I had never heard of this game before. I like pretending that I know everything so this upset me a little. That's at least the second time you've done that. But finally a game that gets it right... fruit is bad and is only used to kill while you need to collect as many hamburgers as possible. They should also have fruit and vegetable icons and if you accidentally grab them you start losing life until you can grab a delicious McDonald's cheeseburger (sans pickle & onion) which gives you back all of your life and maybe even 100 points! However there are two reasons why I would march against this game... first of all is that arc for your throw. Screw that. Second is that music during the sky level. The level already moves at a snail's pace and that music isn't helping. BTW McKids is a clothing store from the days of yore. Maybe that's why the game is called M.C. (emcee) Kids, with the abbreviation periods. Though calling it McKids feels more right since it's, y'know, McDonald's. Also I was totally expecting Donald Duck in this game and am mad that he didn't appear. How dare you.

I first heard about this one on the Chrontendo KZfaq series chronicling every Famicom/NES game, but I haven't actually tried it. It looks pretty good actually! Nice, colorful levels, fun art style! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! It’s been awhile. I really liked watching this one! 😂 Was not expecting a Mcdonalds game Lol

You should check out some of the old 1970's McDonald's commercials on KZfaq their kinda trippy. Grimace originally had four arms (I believe) and was a bad guy that stole milk shakes.

It's always lovely to watch your videos. You have a cute charm to you that makes you fun, relatable and easy to watch/listen to. Having worked at Maccies myself a couple of years back, most of my fond memories and my current view of it, are pretty disillusioned.

I had a McD's birthday party back in the 90s, I believe it was my 5th. There was even a little playset where you could make plastic food. I haven't heard about anyone doing this for a very long time, so I'm not sure if it's still a thing.

YEP THE SHEET CAKE!! And they had sugar cake toppings that looked like Ronald and Grimace and balloons that said happy birthday.

That woodpecker was packing a Triple barrel SHOTGUN :0

This game seems super charming! The attack angle is a bit difficult, but what a cool game. Thanks for showing this off! Edit: Well, aside from Sky World :P

Mayor McCheese and the Fry Guys, aw ye~ :D

Hi there! I just found your channel after seeing a random tweet of yours. Your videos are great! Keep it up!

Yay, new video! Haven't had a very good week, but this will help raise my spirits up some. Thank you, Erin! And by the way, those Mac Tonight toys are badass. If an Erin Plays NES homebrew game ever comes out, then one stage will have to take place at night time, and have Mac Tonight singing in the background, perhaps following the stage with the sunset.

Sometimes I wonder, "Is she actually aware of how cute she is? Is this all natural to her, or is it some level of performance? I mean, either way, right on. Keep doing your thing. But dude... just wow. Also, great game choice. Keep it going, girl!

Welp, now I have a craving for McDonalds. Thanks, Erin.

I remember going to a birthday-party or two at McDonald's. I remember how "ghetto" it felt. 😆

That little dude is crying and shooting huge tears, not bubbles lol. Tears don’t hurt :)

I went to a McDonalds birthday party as a child too. As a kid growing up in the late 80s I never had the chance to play this game though I remember seeing it at the video store once back then. Donald Land was also in the NES but I think it flopped in the US market back then coz I only saw the game once back in '88. As a child growing up in Northern California, I had a lot of memories playing the NES and even swapping games with my friends.

Such an in depth storyline for fast food chain characters.

some McDonald's locations will hold a wedding for you lol

I love how you have the Pat Riley's Basketball artwork on your wall.

she just got the best smile of all ❤

I would not have the patience for this game. You seem to have a knack for dealing with the most frustrating nonsense in some of these games you play. I'd totally switch this game on for that pretty sweet tune on the first few stages. M.C. Kids is called McDonald Land here in the UK. It's quite a rad game. The GB Versions a bit of an oddity. In Europe it was turned into a Cool Spot game with all the 7Up stuff in it. I really wanna get that McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure game some day.

This brings me way back ! Its sad to see Mcdonalds in its current state, the food is cut down with sawdust.

OH MY GOODNESS!! McDonaldland was such a part of my growing up in the late 70’s 80’s!! I would love to get this game as I have a Honeybee converter I can use on my Super Retro Trio +, I only played M.C Kidz and Mick & Mack for Mega-Drive

I always they should make a McDonald's turn-based RPG. Ronald = fighter, Hamburglar = thief, Birdie = healer, Grimace = monk, Mack Tonight = red mage, etc.

Gotta love the Mac Tonight figures at the start. The trees at 6:00 remind me of the ones in Mortal Kombat II. What was the deal with the nibbler twins at 20:03, the fact that they don't hurt you makes them kinda creepier haha. I end up drinking a McDonalds coffee while watching this. I enjoyed the video.

I had McDonald's birthday party at my homeroom at school. They brought the food by the school. It was bad ass. I was the coolest kid in my homeroom for a while. lol

As late as 2012 I remember a birthday party at McDonalds when i worked there. I brought out the cake for the family . I got a 20 dollar tip that day 😄.

The music on that sky world level was good not bad for a MacDonald's game from the 80's

Some groovin music in this game

You should totally play Global Gladiators,and i liked your Lego figure at the start!

The music reminds me of Pokemon on Gameboy color.

"Alright, let's do this. Let's do this fucking jump." *walks off platform* Hahaha, oh man, I laughed SO hard. That is my favorite part of this whole video and your face afterward was perfect xD In all honesty though, we've all done that countless times.

Hi, I discovered your channel while scrolling thru some cinemassacre video comments section. Love your content!

When I was young our local video store had this game for rent. Seeing a famicon game with an adapter we weren't sure it would actually work on the NES but it did. The game is great and much better than MCKids PS When I was 5 I had a McDonalds birthday party. My city was big for trains so out back they had a faux caboose that held childrens and birthday parties in it. It was a great memory

"...In Donald land fruit is only used as weapons" LOL

Donald McDonald. I smile every time I hear/read about how Ronald goes by Donald in Japan. Because why not lol. It would be even better if the inverse was that they referred to Donald Duck as Ronald Duck.

Erin Plays deserves 1 million subs by end of 2018

I like the Ronald sprite in this, it’s cute!

Erin , this video was really fun to watch.

To answer your question. YES I had a few birthdays at McDonald's. My Mom told me that the more kids you brought the cheaper each kids meal was. She said for 50$ you could have like 30 guests. Every kid got a happy meal and you got a cake and Ronald would show up and take pictures! This was the 80's so everything was cheaper then.

I remember the McDonald's kids action figures that came with happy meals.Those where the days.

Ok I was busy but I finally finished watching. I'm not sure but I think on that last boss you're supposed to throw shit into his mouth. Looks tough. If I were you I'd be cursing and getting so frustrated lol

I didn't even notice that you look like a little Hamburglar until you said it, but now I can't unsee it 😋🍔

The trees get a little too happy when you step on them.

So fruit is your weapon on your quest for junk food from McDonald's? And it explodes, so not only is fruit considered worthless enough to throw at foes but it's also outright dangerous?! Damn, that's some twisted 80's style subliminal marketing shit right there.. I love it! I went to a birthday party at a McDonald's as a kid once, too. It was at one that had a (large) Play Place, which was/is an indoor jungle gym with tube slides, ball pits, rope bridges and the like. I don't remember anyone in costume showing up as Grimace or any other character, and I was totally terrified of that kind of stuff as a little kid so I think I would've remembered it via the psychological trauma it probably would've given me, and all I can really remember is having a blast! The big mac police prison? Hells yeah I remember that! There was one at the McDonald's closest to where I lived growing up. It didn't have a play place, just a small out door playground area with that as its crown jewel! The one I remember was bigger and taller than the one pictured, you could climb up through the center part and into the burger part. Also, the bars were farther apart because I clearly remember being able to jump out the side of it as well as trying to climb back into it the same way. Wow, I haven't thought about any of this stuff in ages.. This is the first time I've seen this game and I thought it was looking pretty decent up until sky world, I do like the whole throwing sticky apple bombs deal. I actually fired it up and played a little past that part and it unfortunately doesn't get any less frustrating from there. There's a water level not too long afterwards that makes those flight controls seem god damn heavenly in comparison, and it's where I gave up after I got stuck on a background tile and couldn't break free from it. I agree, we definitely got the better deal with M.C. Kids here in the west, which was a pretty rare thing back in those days as typically Japan got the better exclusives. Though to be fair each game has elements the other sort of lacks, if only the two dev teams had worked together on a single vision.. I really enjoyed this one, not a game I think I'd be interested in playing (again) but it was certainly fun to watch you play it, though I'm sure that's a result of the time, effort, and thought that went into making this. Whatever the case it definitely earned that like! Totally gave me one hell of a wicked nostalgia trip, ty!

😐Marry me and your next b-day’s at McDonald’s!! 😂😂😁Great vid!

bart simpson - "nobody ever suspects the butterfly, hahahaha", my brain is probably as random as yours Erin :)

You need to play the weird treasure genesis game too! :o

Erin u so funny!!!! Starting out saying how it looks better than MC kids.....then at the end u switch it around lol

cue the awkward Mc Donalds dance party scene from Mac and Me whenever you talk about the birthday parties at Mc Ds

Erin plays - yeaaaah :)

The reason why Ronald McDonald is called Donald McDonald in Japan is because Japanese people have a hard time with the r sound (l sounds like r in a Japanese accent) so McDonald's renamed Ronald in Japan to make it easier for Japanese kids to say his name

I'm so old that I remember when McDonald's used to sell pizza and chicken fajitas. The fajitas were the bomb, though. I can't believe they got rid of the two cheeseburgers Extra Value Meal. Plus Willard Scott as Ronald creeps me out. The original Pennywise.

I always thought it would be a fun idea to have a McDonald's birthday party as a bachelor party or something 😂

This looks like a blast. I need to pickup a famicom or find one of the adapters in the worst way

Love That Lego Intro

Doesn't trust the trees cause they have faces. Wants all the trees to have faces. 😂😂😂

The underwater level is worse than the balloon one. yes i played this before...

they should release a trilogy of mcd's games and call it a trio

I wish there was a Mac tonight game. He was always my favorite. I'll probably pick this one up some day.

I also had Birthday parties at mc d. in the early 90s was great fun as a kid every 1 loved it. And back in the days the whole mc d thing was much better made with those characters etc. It all vanishes over time sadly ;/
