วีดีโอ

Although I loved the plots, I was never good at the old Sierra and LucasArts adventure games. I like watching other people play. I get stuck, and then frustrated.

One of my favorite NES games. In my opinion, it is vastly superior to the PC version.

you really have to switch characters to get the full story from the NPCs. and even then it's hard to really piece the full story together. I really wish we got a remake of this game in a whole new glory.

"One of the better SNES games. 6/10"

Quite frankly.. the combat is the only decent thing. The rest of the systems are too much fluff that take away from what is actually fun.

Imagine if someone wrote a REAL Satanic worship adventure game. Might have to go on Sega or PC, since Nintendo doesn't allow any religion.

Maniac Mansion has not aged well in certain aspects (the envelope puzzle can kiss my ass!), but it is still a great game for the variety of different solutions and endings the game has.

I grew up in the early 2000s, but my mom had a bunch of games for the SNES, including this one. I was never able to be it as a kid, and have been meaning to dig it out and try and beat it, but mostly, I'm glad it seems to be getting more recognition after being released in the virtual console for the Switch.

ECOQUEST! One of the BEST Scumm games ever made 😎

As a kid, because of the name (Goonies II), I assumed there was a Goonies 2 movie that this game was based off of and I had just never seen it.

I've always loved this game but the constant need to access a menu to switch forms or projectiles definitely does detract from the overall game. How Capcom didn't think to map this to buttons like in the Mega Man X series is beyond me.

In my mind this is actually part of the Mana series, and there are only 3 games in it. Crystalis > Secret of Mana > Chrono Trigger (in chronological order). Hero with a holy sword? check. Evil empire? check. 4heavenly kings/generals? check. Magic and technology? check. Flying fortress of doom? check. It just isn't the same without some combination of the above tropes. This is why other Mana games tend to miss the mark in terms of nostalgia.

Ever thought of the ending where you defeat the reborn at the colosseum, phalanx.

King Arthur in the gold armor vs Firebrand with all his powers. Who will win?

Loved and hated this game. It was as frustrating as clock tower

Demon's crest needs a re-release

@8:51 Lucasfilm censored several elements of the original game. However, Nintendo of America had its own censorship system and did not approve of the game the way it was ported over initially and ordered several changes before they approved and manufactureed the game. However, after manufacturing 250,000 cartridges, Nintendo noticed the microwavable hamster and Jaleco/Lucasfilm had to remove it from any future orders of cartridges. This wasnt a big deal in North America because they never needed to order any more cartridges, but they still needed to place orders for the European market (no microwavable hamster in Europe).

Still my all time favorite OST 🎸

On my top 10, this game is great. Ill accept no hate

I love Demons Crest. It made me want to headbutt my problems like Firebrand does. Also I love the crests changing Firebrand into different versions.

Ahh yea, the game Crysalis... thing you forgot the T in there homie.

Great review of this under rated gem. One of my favorite games. Played the game boy games and they were fun but nothing like this. Hopefully they would release another game in the near future.

I don’t agree about the music. In a time when videogame soundtracks were all heroic and upbeat, demons crest dared to sound melancholic.

Demon's crest will forever be one of my top 10 favourite games and my absolute favourite SNES game

No why did you make this video xD

We know it as FF3 but in reality it's actually FF6 cuz of Licensing of Square Enix of Japan wouldn't allow it under it's actual name FF6 so Square Enix of USA gave it the title FF3 Duh!

Spoiler? Omg it's 30 years old... Spoiler warning: the titanic sank

And by the sounds of it you never found the difficulty tent thing... theres a place on the map that can change the wilds difficulty but increases their chance for better stats and I think maybe even shiny chance but this also increases their HP, ATK, etc.... youll get stomped i promise you

fyi when sealing them you can just use their icons on the top of the screen... click your seal that you wanna use pauses the game (as im sure your aware) then you just go to the top instead of trying to click the monster... this helps drastically especially when shiny hunting and enemies can die within the first couple milliseconds of hitting start lol

When you said you have little experience i thought you had little but my god you have none

It's kinda funny to hear the final verdict be that with a little more effort they could have had something really good, because it sounds like a lack of effort was absolutely NOT the problem here. A surplus of effort leading to a ton of extra modes and advanced things like first person perspective mazes on the NES, but where no element is polished enough to be well-done fun though, that soubds like the issue. Still, if it all ends with me being impressed that they managed to get all this in one cart, I guess gambling on more but less-refined content is a pretty good gamble in the end.

MM was a staple of my childhood. It brought my siblings together. ❤

interesting game. I don't think we ever got a James bond video game on the NES, or famicom. Theres definitely a lot of variety here. I'm not a fan of mazes, and I really dislike that there is no passwords. Still, this was a great video and described the game as a whole. I liked it a lot.

I love this game! The Mafat Conspiracy is pretty legit too. Same style of game play but, you can duck and shoot in this one!

Oh and the sequel game is 🔥

Borrowed it from my older cousin, played the heck out it. I was like, hold on, are they having sex? 😂

Golgo 13, don’t stand behind him if you value your life. Cooler than Sean Connery and even more enigmatic and untouchable. Great review, Joe. Your score is very on-target, and yeah, no passwords is a real nightmare here! Great job!

never heard of this game in my life and I know A LOOOOT of hidden gems and odd duck games. Just because of that you got my sub bud.

Demon's Crest was such an underappreciated gem, yeah, it had some flaws, and the music was pretty mid, but the graphics, concept, and atmosphere fucking sold it

A masterpiece

personally didnt care much for the "sequel" but i believe its very possible we may get another with the rise of remakes. Great video.

You say there are three endings, but I'd say there are five, with one of them being the nuclear meltdown that you showed in the video. But for winning the game, there is basically the base ending and two alternate endings, so the three you stated, but there's also a unique sequence if you meet the requirements for both alternate endings at the same time. I remember once hearing that ending referred to as the secret fourth ending. I believe there can also be some variations of the endings dependent on whether Dave is alive or dead.

Have you tried Monster sanctuary or Cassette beasts?

Loved playing that game even tho i wasn't any master at it lol

i love the game so far but my favorite creature collector game is still nexomon extinction

All your Yaolings fighting at the same time making it more like an RTS is an interesting twist, though I wonder if it will draw in Monster catching fans because of this choice. I've seen some games on the way that use this twist on the traditional gameplay formula, taking out lots of Monsters at the same time, but I feel like one of the charms of monster-catching games is each monsters individuality, how their design and gameplay style merge and really make it so that one particular monster becomes your favorite etc. This seems much more like you are meant to have multiples of monsters to overwhelm the enemy with numbers, and that seems like it would make for less interesting monsters. Still, I do like the premise and the twist on the "travel all across the land and go to different gyms", so I will probably take a look at this as well :) A nice recommendation, I just wonder if it's going to be a hit with the monster collector fans when it doesn't seem to put much importance on individual monsters.

Drawn out battles in Pokemon??? Huh??? The battles in this game are way slower than Pokemon has been for over a decade

Think they're gonna make it work out on the Steam Deck?
