I also like the narrator is in english as if it should be like that somehow i imagined all games in english because of rareware xp

That detailed map is very nice!! The colors look so nice. I always dreamed that this could be in color. The super gameboy for snes didn’t do it, it just used monocolor pallette

Thanks so much for the retrospective! This was the first gameboy game i played. It was called Mystic Quest. My parents got it for free with the gameboys but nobody had a clue what it was. I was between 5 or 7 years old when i played this. I could read my native language well (dutch), but i never read english in my life. I could recognize the letters. This game was my first tutor or encounter with english! I remember mystic quest felt local to me, but the idea that the water itself is influenced by the people itself and is fed back into the system (the mana tree), it quaked my worldview. In hindsight, the reversal of the waterflow is the same process as getting to be universal and kind. Bob Saget with funniest homevideos was still on tv as well as bob ross. After this UK kept influencing my childhood, with dkc 1/2/3. And david wise music. I felt I already lost all my teeth early on. I was stuck on palmtrees and eight for many years. There was no internet and when we got very early access and played doom2 deathmatches through printercables, we couldnt find information. Somehow in my head i spotted the paper map included with the game and saw that before Jadd is the palmtrees in a giant 8. I thought the secret had to be here. I hit every tree at every oasis 8 times. It wasn’t until donkey kong country 3 that i figured the secret. In dkc3 you had to drive a boat in a figure 8 to reveal the hidden world. Then i knew and went back to mystic quest. It was surreal to continue after all these years. It was in the summer i did that and it was in a summer garden still in the 90s. When i reached mana temple the music was heavily and haunting at the same time. The Crystal desert music also made me feel ‘high level new area’ music for the first time. The music of this game still unlocks weird memories/feelings from then i thought i was forgotten

I thought we used the moonstone to get nidoking.

Thank god it's not the Director's Cut.

This game does not want to be played. 😂

I remember playing the original of this game, it came on one of those 100 in 1 knock off carts. Looks great for the GBC.

Is that the theme from Golden Axe in the background? Or are my ears deceiving me?

Congrats on wrapping up another LP. Looking forward to SH3. Completely agree that this is one of the best games ever made. If they’re going to remake another one. It should maybe be a redo of SH4 or origins, imo.

I appreciate showing the fridge monster 😂

Cool game , well done to the French Rayon Studio in Basic Locomotive category.

Sounded like you had a lot of fun with this one! Great to see. 😊

Looks like a good one.

Remember playing this a lot of times in the arcades (and pubs) growing up. Total nostalgia for it and really should get myself a copy.

I'd just like to point out that there are two things about this video: 1/ I managed to overcome my technical issues whilst playing a second playthrough, so I've spliced some footage together, resulting in different gameplay times on the save screen. 2/ I had a cold when I recorded this, so my attention span isn't what it should have been. I hope this doesn't detract from your enjoyment of the video.

Hope to see more point and clicks on the Amstrad after this great start

Another great vid. Glad you’ve reminded me about the teleportaloo. 😂

i love this game. brings back loads of memories

Never played quake 1, only quake 2. Might get it though as it’s cheap on the switch.

Firstly: hello! Secondly: running away from the bad guys is probably the best strategy, and fitting for harry’s character, and basically what Cybil said, too.

Yeah I realise today is Monday - I recorded this, but for some reason didn't upload it!

You’re an ecological hazard with that axe. 😂

Congrats on finishing another series! One of the best games ever made.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Loved this version. A new and improved homebrew is on its way courtesy of New Zealand

Definitely ambitious. Big sprites, good presentation and all the characters are playable ( take that SNES 😅 )

Another conversion to the Amstrad that went down well at the time. Probe did some good ports

This was well received on the Amstrad at the time. A good effort

I was a huge He-Man fan in the early 80s, so when I watched this I was extremely let down. It's clear they had the license to the franchise, but no idea what it was about, other than the names and likenesses of some of the characters. The new characters they introduced were awful, and the fact they brought them to Earth was a major cop-out. They would have been better off making an animated movie, like Transformers The Movie, which was (and still is) and absolute rocking classic!

Congrats for this series, dude. 🎉🎉🎉 It’s been very enjoyable indeed. Also, the music for the top 3 (or 7) was awesome.

The universe is music. Opening a dimensional door is relatively easy, but the tones stored in the Cosmic Key were wiped out. Thats why you need to collect those notes - so Kevin can play them on his Keyboard from Charlie's music store - to get everyone home and save Eternia.

I've always loved this film

This game used to shred me

nice colours

Ohhh I remember this game. The controllers were cool! You drove it like a tank, and had buttons to turn the turret on the top. I remember it in the arcade, but I'm pretty sure I rented the NES version at some point.

I had this for my Speccy. Wish I’d kept it as I really enjoyed it at the time.. and it goes for crazy money now because it was a late Spectrum release and I believe one of the few 128k only games.

That was extremely trippy. Programmed by a raver, probably.

Had this on VHS growing up.. I think my parents got it thinking the Wizard of Oz was great and not expecting this weird creepy 80’s interpretation of another Oz book. It was not watched much.

Great stuff. I wonder if doing a ground pound would uproot those spooky sprites from the sand in that secret level at the end.

I thought those were the graphics at first.

That boss fight music is damn good!

I bought this off eBay a few months ago. I think I had two or three goes before I got frustrated, switched it off, and the box went back on the shelf. I've never seen the second level - maybe it's completely different like other movie licences which have a mini game for each level (a la Batman - The Movie). To be honest with you, I found the game too bad to even bother googling the answer to this, but was kind of hoping maybe you would have cheated your way past the first level to show us. Very bad show from the Oliver Twins and, yeah, AA rating it that highly makes no sense. As you've found out through your Amstrad Anniversary vids, very few AA ratings do make sense. "Inconsistent" is far too much of an overstatement.

great game was one of the best

Like the introductions to your videos .. give some great background to the brand/game/etc. Also wasn’t aware of GBII being seen as a critical failure though I’m not surprised by this as I suspect Columbia expected it to come with all of the accolade (and cash) of the original even though 5 years had passed. Too quick to judge I’m sure over the years the movie has made whoever owns the rights now a hell of a lot of money. It was also the first movie I remember seen at the cinema as a child. Keep up the videos.. good narration and game play 👍

This was the first game I got (not including the bundled software). I spent hours upon hours playing this as a kid. Very addictive!

Wow this looks really good!

Such a bizarre concept: people like computer games, people like Rocky Horror .... uuuuuh pineapple pen!

This would have been in my top 10, back in the day.

My Mum bought this for me!!! Thank you for uploading this!!!!⭐️
