I remember fighting Judge Doom, but not realizing that the Dip cannon was on a timer, and you had to grab it before it hit Roger and Jessica. I'd knock out Doom, and then just die, and not know wtf had happened.
This video is the gamer equivalent of climbing mount Everest. I don't know how many times I cried because of this game. Never could get pass the caves with invisible holes in them, and when I did the snake would bite me. Still, I could unleash my frustrations of Roger and the citizens by punching them with all my strength.
Watching people speed run games that the AVGN "reviewed" is awkward. It's funny and yet anger inducing since we too fought with these games and got no where.
If I remember correctly, the code I got as a kid that gives you all the items (except for the dynamite, which you can purchase from the store immediately) is LLHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH3B. (Not sure how many Hs there are, but they fill up the middle, with LL and 3B at the ends.) I didn't think finishing the game this quickly was possible. Excellent work! (The only reason I have that code memorized after all this time is that it took forever for me to get that far in the game.)
There's a code i discovered as a kid where entering all 9s im the password then starting game will give you 2 items of everything and 1 piece of the will.
I remember when this came out, you could give Jessica a rose while she was on stage, and the phone number that appears would give you a tip to the game when you called it. I always thought that was pretty cool. Games now dont seem to do things like that
I miss instruction manuals, tip lines and the sheer joy of firing up a brand new cartridge. Games today have a serious lack of "soul". I mean there are still some damn fine games but it's the little extras that made them that much more special.
@@TooLameToDie the instruction manuals and maps were 2 of the best things back in the 8 and even 16 bit eras. You felt like you were going on a real adventure. To use an example I remember getting Ducktales for the Nintendo and reading on the bosses you had to fight....fast forward to the remake probably 20+ years later on ps3, and i remember when I saw the bosses thinking that's what my 9 year old mind had made them up to be all those years ago on the original game. Its funny what a little imagination and creativity can do to make something that might not be that visually impressive seem so much more of a big deal. It's a real shame the kids nowadays have had that part of gaming taken away from them because everything is photorealistic now
Dude just crapped on my childhood in 5:55. Spent countless hours getting nowhere in this game. Still have it, now it’s tormenting my son. Might have to show him this video.
@@MarMaxGaming haha, we do. We have many systems. He mainly does Xbox, but we/he does our retro stuff as well. He was grinding Sega then went back to NES and was just playing this game. He’s really into PunchOut right now. It’s important to keep carts alive, and the ok’d systems that got us where we are. Shoot, he and I were playing burger time on Atari a couple weeks ago. Keep it all alive is what I say 🕹🎮
@@brettbaratheon9776 heck yeah, believe me, I love playing retro! I just lol’d from it being lost in a mess like Roger Rabbit. I’m all about those classics :) I’m on a rotation of 8bit, 16bit, and then a 32/64/128bit right now, it’s what my channel is based on. Gaming passion and appreciation!
@@MarMaxGaming hahaha, I hear you! I warned him that the game was awful. He really liked the movie so wanted to try it. Funny, that shit is STILL deceiving kids all these years later. Remember when we were young, saw the movie..... THEN THE GAME OUT! Ha, absolute trash, pretty much every one of them. Back to the Future was the biggest let down of my young life.
I bought this game back in 1990 when I was still in high school. I couldn't make heads or tails how to play it though. I learned some good jokes from it though! LOL
I was obsessed with this game!!! Just tried playing, i lasted 5 minutes lol. Never could beat the ass as the end - never knew you had to punch him! im okay with that 😂
I've watched a couple of different speed runs on this game now and I'm just curious is there a way to make sure that the items are in the same place as each time you play through because I thought the placements of the items were always randomized each time you played the game? Because you and this other guy's Speed Run I watched we're getting the exact same items at the exact same places for example like the dynamite at the store and the wallet right outside of Eddie's apartment is there a way to make Shirley items are always going to be exactly in one spot versus another on the game? Also what is the secret to speed running this game or attempting to speed run also I would like to know what the trick is on the last boss will you start pounding him over and over again because as a kid I was always taught that you're supposed to charge your fist up that's what he does and then hit him with a fully charged fist but not try to go for the over and over hits
2:00 This music sounds so similar to ironsword. Also the music at 5:00, and at 5:27, you can hear the same sound clue/bug that is in ironsword when you take hits, you sometimes get that strange sound. It's weird.
Oh yeah i beat this game when i was a kid on the first day. I remember because that was also the day i beat NES TMNT right after i landed on the aircraft carrier in Top-Gun.. Wanna know my secret? Two words, POWER GLOVE!!
I had this game as a kid and for the life of me i could never get passes that dark tunnel part, i would always fall down and also when they choke rabbit and you have to answer the jokes, i was never quick enough but none the less i dont know why they made this game so tough
It's actually not that bad. There's a logic to it all, and it rewards exploration. Of the LJN games released, it's one of the better ones (which isn't saying much, but still)
Why did this kid get killed by a random prop in the room but took a billion crushing punches from Dr Doom at the end?? That doesn’t make sense. Also, damn did he take a ton of punches to beat. Little Max didn’t even need that many to beat everyone including Iron Mike.
They had the potential for a really neat final boss here.. You have all these gag items and you're fighting an evil toon, but none of them do anything. What is even the point of those items and the magic buildings and all. Seriously one of the worst final boss designs for any game I ever played.
But Milon’s Secret Castle was fun to beat. This was painful and I could never seem to beat the judge. I can’t believe Rare made this- though I can believe LJN sold it.
Honestly, maybe 10 of them were worth that $50. I still have mine, and lightly collect them. Makes me happy and sad at the time paying $5-$10 for games our parents got ripped off on back in the day.
a perfect example of purchasing a name (in this case roger) and then putting out a completely shit game that has nothing to do with rogers world except his stupid blurry character, even as a kid who the whole video game thing was still amazing I would ride around in the car for a bit, then say this sucks and put in duck hunt
Anyone who beat this deserves a medal. I remember bugging my parents to rent this from Blockbuster three times, and I still couldn't beat it .
I had this as a kid, didn't understand it. Now at peace with it lol
i appreciate what they tried to do but it ended up being a total disaster.
I still have no idea what's going on.
Looking for parts of the will.
Then you’re retarded or illiterate (possible both)
thank god you were able to rescue that saggy clump of pixels at the end
Calling Jessica Rabbit "saggy" is just asking for a piano to be dropped on you. Lol
@@Mastermind8908 She’s not bad, she’s just badly drawn
Agreed. It's sad that even when you KNOW what a picture is supposed to be you still can't tell.
Done in under 8 minutes what I couldn’t do in 30 years 🏆
My exact thought.
This game drove me mad when I was five
**peeks head in door** is this the support group for people abused by badly made NES games? I’d like to join.
It actually gives me the shits just looking at it. I feel a flood of anger come of me
I remember defeating the final boss once (or at least I thought that...) but didn't know I had to grab the final acid hose... It was my doom!!
That one was for Bob Hoskins. R.I.P. Bob.

This game had serious flaws but it was immensely satisfying to go around charging your strength meter and clobbering the shit out of people lol.
I always loved the women yelling at you: "You horrid man!" 🤣
yeah it'd be nice if your strength meter didn't take 30 minutes to fully charge lol
A game I had to use a turbo controller on
I remember fighting Judge Doom, but not realizing that the Dip cannon was on a timer, and you had to grab it before it hit Roger and Jessica. I'd knock out Doom, and then just die, and not know wtf had happened.
Same. That's where I got stuck, and when I realized I had to fight Doom all over again, I said screw it and gave up.
As a kid I loved Driving the Car I would kill hours just driving around... GTA before gta lol
This video is the gamer equivalent of climbing mount Everest. I don't know how many times I cried because of this game. Never could get pass the caves with invisible holes in them, and when I did the snake would bite me. Still, I could unleash my frustrations of Roger and the citizens by punching them with all my strength.
You were supposed to get the flashlight which lit up the caves. The holes were quite visible then.
Yeah and use the spring shoes to jump the hole
The question none of us thought to ask. Who spedrun Roger Rabbit
there's 2 weeks of my childhood i can't get back
Watching people speed run games that the AVGN "reviewed" is awkward. It's funny and yet anger inducing since we too fought with these games and got no where.
I remember watching his review of Back to the Future 2&3 and was just depressed thinking how I basically never got 5% through that awful, awful game
Well done! Like many of the comments below I could never beat this game and didn’t understand most of it. Thank you for showing us your video!

@@MarMaxGaming you got a new sub sir.
it might be the 240p talking, but I have no idea what just happened in that game.
You know it's funny because even though i was watching and paying attention my brain just completely refused to process what was happening
5:36 "Standing here, i realize... you are just like me trying to make history."
Way to go man! :D
This game feels like a fever dream I'll never wake up from lol
5:35 ULTRAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOOOOO
What an ending!
Lol 😂
Nicely done!
Oh man my right ear is loving this
I remember the music from the boss fight during battle and it still super creepy up there with the best
The tunnel sound brought me straight back
Was this an LJN game? OF COURSE IT WAS.
He was showing him the pimphand is wau strong in the end. I mean dude was smacking him till he rattled the building dayum
The sound pallette is so much like Wizards and Warriors.
Didn't rare make both games?
Definitely could be....I think the musician for Rare was David Wise at this time and he probably did the music for many of their games for many years.
@@kylemandt527 yeah and some text assets are reused especially among their game show ports like wheel of fortune
@@kylemandt527 anticipation? Was that the name of that trivial pursuit type game?
Legit I won this game when I rented it one of my favorite nes accomplishments
my right ear hurts
The last boss music sounds like a track from a Nightmare on Elm Street
You had to be a child genius to beat this game back in the day.
Great speedrun!! I got all the way to Doom back in the day, but I never beat him.
Played this as a kid and was totally lost. Still feel lost after watching this lol
Incredible
I bought this game back in 1990 when I was still in high school. I couldn't make heads or tails how to play it though. I learned some good jokes from it though! LOL

I remember playing this as a kid and thought it was going to be so much fun but it was so damn annoying
I play this game when I was a kid growing up in the 80s I still can not beat that game that damn fast. Basham. 🤔
Dat beatdown. Dayum son.

THANK YOU 😊
Ahh the memories 😃 It took me a while to figure out I had to throw the baseball to get Stupid the weasel to move 😆 Good run!
I might have beaten this game as a kid if I knew to "pick up" the nozzle
One of those games i liked cuz of the ambience and not much else.
Wow that was just like the movie! Seriously though, nice job
Did you have this set on a save state so the items were always in the same place? As the items are randomly palced each time the game is played
No, it depends on your inputs when you start the game.
You can find more information here:

No clue what the ending to this video was, but at least I could sing along to the background music
Oh yeah i beat this game when i was a kid on the first day. I remember because that was also the day i beat NES TMNT right after i landed on the aircraft carrier in Top-Gun.. Wanna know my secret? Two words, POWER GLOVE!!
Its soooooo bad!
I feel like the movie Wizard wrote this.
I love the POWER GLOVE!
I had this game as a kid and for the life of me i could never get passes that dark tunnel part, i would always fall down and also when they choke rabbit and you have to answer the jokes, i was never quick enough but none the less i dont know why they made this game so tough
What a mess of a game.
yeah i remember especially hating this game as a kid
LJN was known for this level of game.
Right! It's like they let them watch the trailer for Who framed Roger Rabbit then told them they have the weekend to make a game out of it..
Especially when Judge Doom was a pain-in-the-rear to battle with. I vowed NOT to even play this game ever again. 🤯😵
It's actually not that bad. There's a logic to it all, and it rewards exploration. Of the LJN games released, it's one of the better ones (which isn't saying much, but still)
First GTA ever...
The Nerd would be impressed
I beat this game as a kid without cheating. It was up there with beating some other classics
You deserve a medal. This game was such a pain
This game is probably the best of the LJN games in my opinion
Yikes, that says a lot.
Friday the 13th, Karate Kid... LJN was good
Wow open world
Why did this kid get killed by a random prop in the room but took a billion crushing punches from Dr Doom at the end?? That doesn’t make sense. Also, damn did he take a ton of punches to beat. Little Max didn’t even need that many to beat everyone including Iron Mike.
Another LJN masterpiece?
I could reach the end but I never beat Judge Doom. I think glitching him like that must be the only way to win.
Wrong noob, get good.
Yeah noob. You just hammer on him at full power and juggle him into the corner
I did finish this but I don't remember how long it took.
*insert avgn quote here*
I always thought doom was scary looking.
Ya puedo morir en paz jajajaja. Now I can die in peace LOL
5:40 😮
I never knew you could change the punchlines, the weasels always choked out Roger 🤣🤣
I think you hold Select and then tap Up and Down to cycle them through.
This game made me throw my controller so many times. The boss was awful
I loved the fact you can break into women's hotel rooms and brutally and repeatedly assault them
That game is so bad I can’t even tell what’s going on
Seriously. I still don't really understand what I just watched
They had the potential for a really neat final boss here.. You have all these gag items and you're fighting an evil toon, but none of them do anything.
What is even the point of those items and the magic buildings and all. Seriously one of the worst final boss designs for any game I ever played.
LJN game.
I hated this game so fucking much. Great job.
I killed this game at age 11
Different
Do what?
Idk what I just saw.
Cool. But some explanation would have been nice. I don't know the game.
Cute idea finding all the items and then loading a game from the start. Try a speed run with an original nes cartridge next time.
Still so hard… I think I’ll stick with the movie & keep this game just as a keeps sake…
One of the worst endings ever!
That was the ending to 95% of games back then.
Thought about making a TH-cam page but only use real copies of games
This game was and is fucking terrible. Now seeing it finally finished I realize just how convoluted it is.
Right? Like I was 7yo trying to figure out where to go
I don’t understand any of the objectives or points of this game.....
Black screen and text. Always the worst endings. Milons secret castle is the same.
But Milon’s Secret Castle was fun to beat. This was painful and I could never seem to beat the judge. I can’t believe Rare made this- though I can believe LJN sold it.
Sad to see $50 games being beaten in under 6 minutes.
Honestly, maybe 10 of them were worth that $50. I still have mine, and lightly collect them. Makes me happy and sad at the time paying $5-$10 for games our parents got ripped off on back in the day.
Even only 5 minutes of this trash game is still sickening to watch.
It's really not that bad. Parroting the AVGN when you've never actually played the game isn't very clever, bud.
This is ET Atari levels of bad.
4:36 how the original dab got started
This irritates me to no end. I spent countless hours on this game and 99.99% is filler. Reminds me of ninja turtles
What Ninja Turtles Series?
@@hendrysumadi824 the very first Nina turtles game can be beaten in like 5 minutes.
