This was one of the first published role-playing games for the NES in Norht Ameria, becoming a best-selling title back in 1987.
An interesting fact to note is that the Famicon cartridge actually contained a red LED in tope of it that lit up when the game was being played.
It was suppose to be originally called 'Hell's Bells' but Nintendo refused to put their seal of quality on it unless Brøderbund changed the name.
I didn't bother with the upgrades as they made little difference, not to mention you get the best sword in the game right before the final fight which will replace all previous weapons collected.
It is never necessary nor does it add anything to the game to explore the dungeons unless you enjoy getting lost. -

YES! My dad had all the frames mapped out on graphing paper back in the day. He was all about this game. Ahh, good times.
My dad did the same thing.
Mine didn't. :(
Mine too and he was already in his 40s back then. My dad hated the game though. He never went back to the game after finishing it in 1988.
Jacob Tremblay scream
I vicariously beat the game through you. I was lost through all those doors for ever. The nightmares lol
Glad you could be a part of the experience. :)

I pretty much immediately wrote this game off when I got it. My older brother however, got into it and loved it. Perpelexed by this twisted affection he had for it, I decided to give it a real shot - I ended up loving it. It's very much a Demon's Souls of the 8-bit era, with its value well hidden under a punishingly difficult exterior. They give you absolutely nothing to work with, so you literally had to figure out everything on your own, which made it immensely rewarding when you did. Never did finish the game, as I'd get utterly lost in some dungeons and rage-quit.

That was my experience as well. I couldn't figure out even the first thing to do in the game for what seemed like months. lol! Then, I finally figured it out a lil bit & it became enjoyable, but I never finished it.
This is still one of my most favorite AVGN lines.

2:14 - From this point forward, you've gone further than I ever could... as a cartridge owner... as a kid in the 80's munching on doritos, cheetoes, and chef boyardee because mom and dad were both not around to cook... it was a damned party to my... 6 year old mind?
OMG That exposition at the beginning. Just when you think it's over it keeps going.
I'm all for lore but it gives you way too much exposition. And all for a shitty game.
I finally found the game I have been trying to remember the name of it that I used to play as a kid.... I hope I can find one to claim my own so I can play to relive my childhood memories. Thanks for paying this!
After all these years I still remember 54DKDKYISB.
I didn't even stand a chance as a 7 year old kid... This game was absolutely bananas. Well done @JagOfTroy!!!
"It is never necessary nor does it add anything to the game to explore the dungeons unless you enjoy getting lost."
Um, where do you think all of the item/weapon/armor stores are?
possibly the most difficult game ever. This game totally confounded me as a kid. I like the comparison allrequiredfields made to Demon souls. Pretty spot on.
I remember getting this game & not figuring out how to do ANYTHING for like 3 months. lol! I'd get so frustrated, & just come back to it weeks later. I finally kinda figured out what to do, but I don't think I got real far before I gave it up. I also thought the graphics were childish-looking. haha! :)))
I loved this game! It was so hard. The simple
days of playing NES and not a care in the world. No wonder so many people want to go back in time. 🥺😩
Dude this is amazing. I can't believe as far as I got in this masochistic waste of time called a game is not even a sliver of what is required to beat it. Mad respect to you and anyone else who have progressed beyond the first couple of dungeons
If only the rest of the game lived up to its epic intro.
I am 43 years old and hated this game when I was a teenager !
Love how it sequel baits at the end.
I was so frustrated playing this as a kid, but I kept trying because I loved the music so much
You make it look so easy but as a child in the early 90s....this game made me suffer! Thank you for the memories!
Holy shit, I was searching for this game for like, years. I played it when I was a kid, and I could never remember what it was.
Wow.
imode me too, you have no idea the weird shit I was just googling to find it.
I used to think I at least knew which boss was the final boss in this game that I was never able to beat. This confirms I was no where close to the end lol
ahhhh, brings back memories, this game was a damn hard challenge, still one of my favorite games and even to this day, i STILL play it off and on.
It's a piece of shit. Why don't you think this game never got a sequel.
Just because it's nostalgic doesn't mean it's good.
@@RisingBeast00 to each his own, one mans trash is another's treasure.
I remember this yellow originall cartridge with red light on a centre. It was sweet times from childhood...
Christmas present 1986. Really weird game. Thank you 4 uploading.
GOD BLESS
Bravo! Total domination of arguably one of the hardest if not thee hardest nes game ever made,
been looking for this game forever ... cant believe i found it ! so many memories ...
a flawed but nontheless fascinating game. I enjoyed it back in the day.
I could only get to the title screen in this game, and then I always give up lol
You weren't alone. I know from my own experience. lol! After what seemed like months of trial & error, I finally figured out the first thing to do. It started to become enjoyable, actually, but I never came close to finishing it.
Qui est là pour comprendre cette douleur suite à la vidéo des 11 ans du JDG ? xD
moi
Et moi
Exact
Yup, I remember this pain in the ass game from when I was a kid. You have much more patience than I did. Thanks for the post.
Bless you for enduring this game
3 minutes and 40 seconds into this video, you made it farther in this game than I did through somewhat regular play in 10(?) 14(?) years as a kid. good lord.
Too bad the avgn didn't last long enough to get to the later parts of this game lol.
I was confused as shit when I rented this game as a kid. Everything took a million hits and I had no idea where to go.
Ultimately, the decision is mine to make on what the longplay of the game consists of.
If someone decides in the future they wish to do an alternate version of it and feel like including it, they are more than welcome to do so. However, it doesn't change the ending nor does it change any of the graphics/animations. So therefore, I don't feel it was necessary to do so.
Just like in Solstice, in order to get 100% completion you just have to explore every single room for at least a second.
This was the only game i did not pass as a kid growing up in the 90's. Although, I did get really far.
I had a vague remembrance of my older brother playing through this game way back when, but it wasn't until well after I was done with college that I knew what the name of this game actually was. I've never actually played it myself.
I forgot about the wall fish.
This game mesmerized me as a kid. The soundtrack is underrated.
I love this game, most memorable as a kid.
Loved this game back in the day
I started laughing as soon as I saw the title.
This has to be one of the most borning looking nes games.
This looks tough enough as it is, but when you don't know where to go, it's damn near impossible
One of the most badass intros for a nes game
"It is time for you to light up the darkness."
No, it's time for you to start button mashing your enemy.
It’s time for you to get a job
This is one of the only games you can say is "the worst game ever" and it not be hyperbole
GameMill Entertainment is currently releasing a HD remastered version of Deadly Towers for Nintendo Switch
"You have no confidence in this sword"
this game is never on any top 10 lists but i always thought it was amazing especially the music is very memorable to me. i sucked at playing it as a kid but i would watch my older brother play for hours
loved this game.
The tower bosses are extreme. I don't know how you were able to dodge so many shots.
Gracias bro por el juego fuiste un gran ayuda
The Cold Killer looks like King Kong with vampire-ice powers.
And now I want to play this game so bad!
6:49 like a boss against Ape Dracula.
Hey wasnt there a double sword powerup where you threw two instead of one sword?
Shadow: "You must use 🔥 to burn the 🔔, guarded by the devil's evil bosses."
🤴: "What kind of weapons will these bosses use, to protect these 🔔 that can be burned with 🔥?"
Shadow: "Some of them are made of 🔥and all of them use projectiles of 🔥."
Funny how we never questioned video game logic back then.
idc what you might think of this game, the music was bad ass for a nes game
This game is heavily flawed yet fascinating. There's a surprising amount of lore for a game often written off as a D list title, and with some improvements and quality of life changes might've been great.
I feel sorry for those who played this hardest game.
Bought it for the cover art stayed for the ost
AVGN brought me here.
Anyone else remember if you go to the fat end of the first room you could find a secret area
revival 1000 years later? Was there supposed to be a sequel to this? Was there in Japan?
The knight is actually peeing the swords
It's so stupid that you can't stab the sword after you shoot it. Also who the hell throws swords anyway?
In Legend of Zelda you project a beam of energy from the blade. That makes a little more sense than just throwing a sword.
Why didn't you get the armor and sword in the parallel zones to make your game play a lot less painfull?
This Nintendo NES game is in the Adventure Series.
The amount of ludder collected in this game is too damn high!
In all seriousness though, major kudos for actually finishing this abomination of a game. I couldn't even navigate let alone PLAY this way back in the day...
wonder why the player collects it if he/she never uses it.
you never finish deadly towers. it is an unbeatable game. the only winning move is not to play.
The last time I saw towers this deadly was when it was determined that horses needed more fiber in their diet.
I beat this game as a kid after almost a year of trying to figure it out. It was rough.
I actually *liked* this game as a kid. Milon's Secret Castle too (beat them both). Come at me, bitches!
I LOVE This Game!!!!!!
Damn dude ur good.
Oh man! I could never figure out this game as a kid, kept getting stuck in the maze and didn’t know how to get out. Never even got to go up any tower. So wait if you can beat the game without going to the witch to buy inventory then what was the point of the ludder?
I wonder if the player is using some kind of bot/program instead of actually playing (he does get hit a couple times though) same with the no death ghost's and goblins video.
I come back to this every so often just to remind myself that, years ago, I was playing what would one day become a glorious NES meme. God this game sucks. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for the memories. :)
This is my favorite game...I never play it, but I literally force everyone who visits my house to play it for at least 5 minutes.
Lol
My mom got me this game for $3 at a yard sale when I was a kid, still the best $3 ever spent.
i dont remember how i got this game when i was younger if it was just given to me or my parents bought it but i played this game for hours and and hours and never knew wtf i was supposed to do
Death Bear looks pretty intimidating. Not gonna lie. lmao
screw the haters i love this game despite its flaws. you gotta think this game is pretty damn ambitious for a 1986 nes game, remember RPGs and adventure games were still a brand new thing back then atleast this game tried something new and different for the time.
It was garbage.
Because pseudo TH-cam celebs said it sucked, so it must be true right?
When I was a kid we had a local video store that rented games for $1 on Tuesdays....so every Tuesday I would go get two games and just hope they didn't suck.......I......tried......so......hard to like this game LOL
PARALLEL ZONE
the player never goes to any of them, guess he wanted a greater challenge
super skill man
I remember picking this up from Software Etc in their bargain bin back in the early 90s. My mom asked the salesman if it was a good game. He lied.
Looks challenging.
I honestly didn't think this game has a decent soundtrack because all I ever heard was the first 2 tracks from the beginning of the game. I look at this game completely different, since this walk-through
The Nerd: This is a very special episode because I'm not gonna review the game, the fans are. Yeah, for the first time, I asked the fans to recount their experiences with the game, and send them to a specified email address. And as a result, this one inbox got over 6,000 messages. So if you're one of the lucky ones, then I hope you enjoy hearing your words comin' out of my mouth. But regardless, thanks for the submissions, thanks for supportin' the show, this one's my little reward to you. Enjoy.
(remixed Angry Video Game Nerd theme plays)
The Nerd: Deadly Towers on the NES. First of all, what's with the poorly drawn Herculean Viking guy on the cover of the game? What, was Fabio unavailable that weekend? And talk about false advertising, the in-game character doesn't even come close to looking like that. Some boy in a green spandex jumpsuit with horns. What the fuck?
The Nerd: Outside of Japan, the game was supposed to be called Hells Bells. I'm sure they changed it because they didn't want to associate this piece of ass-fudge to anything good like AC/DC.
The Nerd: If you let it load, it plays a backstory. No one would ever wanna read this much text, and it scrolls way too fast! Hell, I don't even know if it tells you what you're supposed to do anyway; you have to collect seven bells and burn 'em in a sacred fire, or some shit like that.
The Nerd: When you start the game, it doesn't tell you where to go or what to do. And watch out for what door you go in, it's a beginner's trap! You don't know where to go, so you just walk into a room and... (he gets bombarded by a troupe of enemies) SHIT! THE ENEMIES GANG-RAPE YOUR ASS!
The Nerd: At first you might say, "Hey, the game looks decent. You got a sword which you can shoot, much like in Zelda." But the enemies at the start of the game don't die with one hit. No, you have to hit them repeatedly! And the worst, you can't stab the sword like in Zelda after you shoot, you have to wait till the sword leaves the screen until you can fire again. Come on! Oh, this must be why the attack is so slow. Our hero must pass the blades out of his cock! Hell, if broadswords shooting out of my cock was my only defense against purple inch worms and bats, I'd probably let them kill me. Since when are you supposed to just throw a sword anyway? I mean, swinging it at your enemy would have worked nicely, but no, he throws it, and where the Hell does he get all these swords?
The Nerd: Even the manual says, "You have no confidence in this sword." What the fuck kind of advice is that?! That's like saying, "Buddy, if you play this game, YOU'RE GONNA GET FUCKED UP THE ASSHOLE WITH A PORCUPINE! GOOD FUCKIN' LUCK, DOUCHEBAG!" It's almost like the game just wants to fuckin' PISS YOU OFF!
The Nerd: Every screen in this game is just a CLUSTERFUCK OF SHITTY BAD GUYS TO FIGHT! Oh great, I'm being attacked by BALLS! BLUE BALLS, NO LESS. Oddly enough, they're the hardest to kill for some reason. THEY TAKE, LIKE, 20 DAMN HITS! THEY'RE JUST FUCKIN' BALLS! It's as if they ran out of decent enemy ideas and just programmed random moving shapes to come kill you. It's like: "What the fuck are sprites from Marble Madness doing in this game?"
The Nerd: My biggest complaint with the game is that there's no in-game map. That'd be fine if you could distinguish where you are with different backgrounds, but everything looks so similar, IT'S TOO EASY TO GET LOST! The game's like a maze, but it's beyond that. IT'S A FUCKED UP GUESSING-GAME MAZE WITH NO END!
The Nerd: I stumbled onto some area where there's no door, there's no icon or anything to let you know that anything's there, you just gotta take a shitty guess, like in Simon's Quest where you kneel down in that corner waiting for the tornado to take you away. You can just be walkin' around and you just magically appear in a room when there are clearly no doorways around. I mean, what kind of sense does that make? Have you ever just walked into a wall and appeared in another room?
The Nerd: You get an inventory screen. It's empty right now, but it seems pretty standard. Tells you your life and everything. It also has this thing called ludder. Yeah, it says you have 50 ludder. I can only assume that that's currency, so I Googled it to check what it meant, and according to an urban dictionary, ludder means cheap-ass hoe! So, therefore, we're already startin' out with 50 cheap-ass hoes, so we're doin' alright for ourselves. I wonder what the exchange rate is for the expensive whores? Maybe we'll find out later. Now, I can understand wanting to call the currency a fantastic world something different, but, what's wrong with just calling it gold?
The Nerd: You can find power ups to make you stronger, but good luck finding a store that'll give you any. They're found in underground dungeons infested with enemies that can kill ya faster than you can say "game over".
The Nerd: Oh, and the music. The bubbly sound of ripping ass isn't even an adequate way to describe the music in this game. Imagine taking a phonograph machine, submerging it in diarrhea, and wiring it to a horse's ass to use as a speaker. It makes nails on a chalkboard sound like fuckin' Mozart! And listen to this, see what happens when you go to a different room in the castle. (music starts over) The music starts all over again! It gets really annoying because you're constantly going from room to room, so you're hearing the same part of the music over and over again!
The Nerd: What's the fuckin' deal with the ledges that you fall off of?! A lot of the places are really narrow and it's hard avoiding those ledges. And to top it all off, when enemies hit you, it knocks you back a bit! And more times than not, they send you falling down a conveniently placed ledge. And do people normally spin like that when they fall off of somethin'? Reminds me of shit spinnin' down the fuckin' toilet! (toilet flushing sound)
The Nerd: When you die, you have to start at the beginning of the game! What kind of shit is this?! I honestly don't have the patience to get any farther in this game to see if there's another checkpoint or somethin'.
The Nerd: Whenever you die, you get a password. But it makes no sense, because no matter how far you got into the fucking game, YOU START FROM THE BEGINNING WITH ALL THE PASSWORDS! AND WHAT PROGRAMMER DECIDED TO PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE FUCKING PASSWORD SCREEN?!
The Nerd: When they named this game Deadly Towers, they weren't kidding. The last time I saw towers this deadly was when they decided the horses need more fiber in their diets. This game is so fuckin' hard it's easier to lift an elephant with my ass while singing Old McDonald. This game is equal to that of liquid ass butter! STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE PIECE OF SHIT-ENCRUSTED FUCK! I'D RATHER SUCK FARTS OUT OF A DOG'S ASS!
The Nerd: Das Spiel ist Scheiße! Dieses Spiel fickt dich härter als das Leben! (Translation: The game is shit! This game fucks you harder than life!) Well, I gave that a try. Anyway, this game isn't just your average turd, it's the kind of putrid rancid disgusting turd that sits in a truck stop bathroom for 20 years until even the flies won't go near it. It's games like this that make me regret ever picking up an NES controller.
The Nerd: This game is like a never-ending turd that bends around and goes into your mouth, thus creating an endless cycle of eating your own shit whilst taking a crap, and occasionally puking up the same for all eternity!
The Nerd: This is so bad, Satan wouldn't even accept it if you offered it with your soul! I'd rather suck the dried shit out of Chewbacca's ass fur! Fuck this game! No, better yet, DON'T fuck this game, don't let your friends fuck it! IT'S UNFUCKWORTHY! This game is just an orgy of ass! This game is a chicken-lickin' finger fuckin' son of a bitch! This game is ball cider! The Assholians bow down to this piece of shit! In other words, the game sucks.

That’s really impressive that you remembered all of that from the AVGN Deadly Towers Episode seriously I read through the whole thing that you wrote so bow to you!!!
I had this game this game was bad I had it when I was 5 years old back in 1990
Hard as balls Litterally & Glitchy AF !!!!!!

Deadly Towers: Crisis in Royal Woods (forthcoming ROM hack) is more of a fan made game featuring characters from The Loud House (which is literally similar to My Little Pony: Dr. Discord’s Conquest)
I would always make it to the top of a tower and be killed in 3 seconds by a boss
the intro cracks me up
All you are going to do in this game is get frustrated dying being sent back getting lost in dungeons . Money grinding an Orange Ball enemy for hours non stop. Going in and out of the dungeon room. every play through i see of this game has to do this. Its hilarious and sad these games were so bad . People paying $60 back then for Nes Games. For this kinda game.
Jacob Tremblay
I remember as a kid after I first beat Willow I caught wind of this game and thought it would make a decent action rpg. Boy was I wrong! Luckily, my parents had the foresight to rent this turd before buying it.
Who wants an epic code drop? I have it...if you are ready.
I am ready!
DAZI3IBOUT. It works. Best weapons, and the second gate is open in the first screen; you can go straight to the bosses.
"THIS GAME IS A CHICKEN LICKING' FINGER FUCKIN' SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!"
All in all. I'd say his most difficult enemy were those ladders. Step off of the damn ladder already!
I love the novel at the beginning...not!
I think this Game was failed potential. If the graphics were better, the controls less awkward, the levels more creative, and the music wouldn‘t loop every 15 seconds, then it could have been a decent game.
And a completely different one
