I understand why you consider it cheating to play a game like this with a turbo controller, but from my perspective, if the game requires you to basically never stop firing your gun, and they don't allow you to just hold the fire button down, then they designed the game poorly, and using a turbo controller is just fixing their mistake.
I'm dreading my upcoming birthday more than any birthday before. I'm DONE getting older!... But listening to Mike's streams always makes me proud to be born in 1981. 💗
And in the game itself, my best friend and I growing up always thought Fester looked like Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi, when Luke takes the helmet off.
here’s the thing. if you die and go back to the start, the bosses stay dead. but that’s actually not a good thing. because when you beat the boss, all your consumables get refilled. without those refills, you get screwed because there is no way to refill back up your shit. you can refill it on the way back, by visiting the same houses, but then after that, you don’t get another refill until you make it to the next boss and have to kill it and if you end up having to use the items on the way to the boss, you won’t have them. if you die, you may as well reset the game, start over , and try to beat the bosses all in one go. and i’ll say, it took me years to beat this because i would get frustrated at some point, getting tired of starting all over again. I can’r beleive “one mistake and you have to start ALL over!” was a selling point
See, the reason the gun upgrade gimmick works in Blaster Master is that you have unlimited grenades to fall back on when the bullet path gets awkward, the upper gun levels are super satisfying and worth working for, and your gun level goes down when you get hit giving you an incentive to git gud. The secondary weapon in FQ is the whip, and you have to FIND it, so you don't HAVE it at the beginning when you NEED it while you're building up your gun.
When you see the purple things disappear on the other side of a wall it means they're going to be coming through the wall on the other side towards you so don't just keep walking into where they're going to appear wait and shoot them when they come out.
Not sure if you saw my comment on the last video, Bart vs Space Mutants, but I asked you to do this one again because I wanted to see you beat it, so thanks for doing this
Play Festers Quest every 4th of July?? Ha no way Mike! I’m supposed to celebrate my freedom that day; not being a slave to this cruel and unforgiving game.
my dad made me remember the 80's by drinking beer blasting like mott the hopple wearing leather pants with braids in his hair with feather indian earings.. no shirt on gyrating and twisting his gold cross with his fingers... your welcome for that image and to my chldhood
that would be a good challenge to try the game with a less powerful gun to keep the game interesting but since it archs its recommended to stay at eight try lev 1 gun atlesst that shoots straight like lev 8
I beat wallstreet kid as a kid . its super easy just read the stock report it pretty much tells you what's good . I thought it was a dumb idea for a game till I played it . its just a strategy game
its ok mike i always playd the game iwth the normal controller as well i we always chpse to play it like that me and gram cause we actually never knew about them
OMFG i am dying at 37:01 LOL
Keep hearing Kyle singing that intro song from the Nerd episode in my head! 😂

Actually, the game manual says to use a turbo control so it's recommended by the creators to use it as your standard setup.
10:06 You almost did it again Mike! Same fuckin spot to i think! LOL!
I'm dreading my upcoming birthday more than any birthday before. I'm DONE getting older!... But listening to Mike's streams always makes me proud to be born in 1981. 💗
I know this comment is 3 years old but wanted to say... I'm an '84 baby and feel the same as you
It's always funny watching Mike turning into a raging baby when things go wrong.
Why does Fester on the box art look like Rodney Dangerfield if he were playing Fester?
That cover and that game get no respect! NO RESPECT!
And in the game itself, my best friend and I growing up always thought Fester looked like Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi, when Luke takes the helmet off.
THATS it thank you

Glad you attempted it again, great game.
Mike you are playing some of my all time favs. You should play Blaster Master.
i also like blaster master itywas a cool game
James: "You like Fester's Quest?"
Mike: "Uh..." 1:19:56
theres things i like and things i dont
the festers quest avgn episode is FUCKING HALARIOUS!! James dresses up as all the Adams family characters!!
A dog is like a fleshlight that never has to be put in the dishwasher.
Mike's Thumbs: Am I a joke to you?

205 1:03:20. I ❤ times when mike doubles down to make it happen.
I have grey on my side burns, 1975. Too fuckin old already. 2600 generation and NES.
Anyone play the sequel? It was more of an RPG... what was it called? OH YEAH Quester's Fest.
Is it sad I want a dvd series of all. These streams?
I make my own Playlists and have yearly watches of a few streams. My favorite is Superman 64 tho.
I love this game.
The fact that you had to restart from the beginning after 30 solid minutes of tapping is making my thumbs wither
Should have used the bomb pausing trick on the bosses like in blaster master, works the exact same way.
I admire your persistence.
This and iron sword were my favorite games
never playedc iron sword but it looks cool
Mike you don’t know how much you guys changed my life. Keep up the great work
Big YIKES
pvsweetypie Why Big Yikes?
When you see the purple things disappear on the other side of a wall it means they're going to be coming through the wall on the other side towards you so don't just keep walking into where they're going to appear wait and shoot them when they come out.
I love Sunsoft but this game is balls. If it weren't for the terrible weapon upgrade system it would be an okay game.
I don't know why Mike doesn't use TNT on these bosses when he's invincible (invisible??)
I haven't played since I was a kid, but I thought I remembered using TNT on bosses.
1:20:00 rage time
The Box Cover Art is the only reason this game was purchased....which happened alll the time back in the day
Mike... your single button tapping is impressive. I wanna see you play starfox 64.
Not sure if you saw my comment on the last video, Bart vs Space Mutants, but I asked you to do this one again because I wanted to see you beat it, so thanks for doing this
Man watching you play Fester's Quest stresses me TF out
That going to straight from blaster master. It looks like sunsoft just reskinned it. The frogs are lesser enemies from the other game as well.
204 47:02. Avgn review moment
This game seems similar to the first Addams family game by ocean. I think it's underrated even if those that do mention it seem to hate on it
Play Festers Quest every 4th of July??
Ha no way Mike! I’m supposed to celebrate my freedom that day; not being a slave to this cruel and unforgiving game.
my dad made me remember the 80's by drinking beer blasting like mott the hopple wearing leather pants with braids in his hair with feather indian earings.. no shirt on gyrating and twisting his gold cross with his fingers... your welcome for that image and to my chldhood
UGH fuck that game! lol I had that game as a kid when it came out and was always so frustrated at how bad it was.
Sometimes I play games Mike has tried to see if they are really as hard as he makes them out to be.
Damn those bosses are sweet looking - wicked badass
They are awesome design.
Have u tried doremi adventures on SNES?
30.00 if you would have stepped up a few steps the pink balls would have stopped spanning and you could have saved the potion
The health is so ridiculous in this game
The best part is when he loses and freaks the fuck out.
Watched the speedrun, lot less frustrated backtracking from being eaten by the go through wall metroids.
What's the noose for?
I believe it kills all standard enemies on the screen currently.
I googled the definition of masochist and mikes face was given as an example
This game almost gave me a mental breakdown when I was young. Infuriating.
i personally liked the challenge of it and me and my grandmother got far in it she got the whip it can be infurating
just take your time and be paitent not to get the red guns or red whips
that would be a good challenge to try the game with a less powerful gun to keep the game interesting but since it archs its recommended to stay at eight try lev 1 gun atlesst that shoots straight like lev 8
The whip is also great to kill slim thru walls it very powerful compared to the gun
really it should be easier without accidently using multiple items which I assume was because of the turbo
He's not using turbo
wasnt there giant spiders before. whatever happened to those
Does anyone else hear sonic the hedgehog background music similarities in this?
I beat wallstreet kid as a kid . its super easy just read the stock report it pretty much tells you what's good . I thought it was a dumb idea for a game till I played it . its just a strategy game
These quests keep festering
Beethoven on the SNES!!!!
Oh god, that game, lol.
Adams family blaster master
Mike, are you a cib kinda guy, or a loose cart that’s not too fucked up kinda dude?
I heard theres a glitch to skip the bosses
Mike I get worried about you bro you should have a family by now
Screw those bosses why do they have so much health?
i wishedfiest could jump to but its ok is a flaw a gamer can work around you just have to wait for the red gun or red whipn to fade no big deal
its ok mike i always playd the game iwth the normal controller as well i we always chpse to play it like that me and gram cause we actually never knew about them
Go fester go
Mike, you should play the dragon slayer series or Dr.Chaos?
You already beat the game after the first boss, why you kept playing the game? lol
Mike try Battle of Olympus
Got this game for my birthday and god bless my parents because I only got games on my bday or Christmas due to $$$, BUT FUCK this game! Lol
Hhh
