I actually remember this game from back in the day, but could never remember the game's name! I vividly remember using undead Kyle and his lightning attack rod to beat the final boss; and I vaguely remembered the portrait of the main hero, (although I thought he was called the Lightning Knight or the Electric Knight. Whoops.) Thank you for putting this video together. With a little trial and error from a list of Game Boy games, this video helped connect me back to a fun childhood memory! Thanks man!
This game is known in Japan as Velious II: Fukushuu no Jashin, and was developed by NMK (Nippon Microcomputer Kaihatsu), founded by former Tecmo employees and also the developers of Zed Blade (Operation Ragnarok), their only Neo Geo game.
NiggelMyNiggel Some of my favorite 8-bit soundtracks are Journey to Silius, Freedom Force, Castlevania, Mega Man 4, Kirby's Dream Land, Double Dragon, TMNT 2, Ducktales, and Batman.
Skeletroy. Yeah journey to Silius is pretty awesome. Especially the title screen music. I always hoped someone would do a romhack of that game and call it Terminator 2
This gives me a very Final Fantasy Legend 2 vibe, with the different characters, and I love that aspect! I wish they'd do a revamp of this one, it looks amazing.
This is one of my favorite games of all time, even though I acknowledge it has no right to be. It just hit me at the right age back when I first got it. I've played through it many times since, including once earlier this year on my RetroPie. Once you get Zold, the bad guys don't stand a chance! Great video, and the flaws pointed out are fair points. Sure wish I still had my original boxed copy, but since it now costs an arm and a leg, my repurchased loose cart will have to do.
Apparently my dad played this game when he was in college. Looks like reasonably fun game, I might have to try it if he still has it or if I can find a rom of it.
Interesting. I love games that put emphasis on exploration and secrets. This party management aspect is well thought out, in addition of the puzzle game aspect requiring you to choose the right hero. I have never heard about it back in the days. Is it rare in the market?
I got these games as they were released, and I thought they were the coolest games ever. As an adult, I gotta say the first is a great for when you can't sleep, and you don't want to pop a sleep aid.
Adventure Games like Zelda are usually top-down games in which you roam around, solve puzzles, pick up items, etc. RPG games are usually top-down games that usually don't have as many puzzles though there are some exceptions (Lufia 2..) and they usually don't have items usable in roaming mode and RPGs usually involve battle segments, XP, and levelups. This game acts like Zelda, but also has growing stats (via the treasure chests) so it's a hybrid between Zelda and a JRPG like Final Fantasy, kinda like Secret of Mana is.
Hey SNES Drunk, although the following aren't console games, maybe check out Evoland 1 and Evoland 2 (available on Steam), you will definitely like them, they have elements of Nintendo games. :) PS: Great video as always. :)
aghhh this game is so cool. I would have LOVED this game as a kid. 10 year old me would have been so much better off than buying random 2nd hand GB and GBC games in Gamestop based on the cartridge art and if I knew anything about them. I bought so many crap games that were a waste of money and time... this game alone would have given me so much entertainment. Damn it.
When I see these reviews makes me realize how primitive some of these titles are, but its awesome when you can school the kids on it. Not to mention they think its cool. How easily entertained they are😂
Never heard of this one... which undoubtedly means it was yet ANOTHER game they never bothered releasing in the PAL regions because screw the PAL regions. Ugh, it wasn't easy growing up a gamer in Australia in the 80s and 90s...
It's funny that I saw this comment right below yours: "The music in this game sounds pretty good...I might have to listen to the soundtrack and do a few covers."
Chip tunes are the best. Can identify hundreds of games from the 8 and 16 bit era from just a couple bars of music. Last 10-15 years can't remember anything. The music has been pretty damned forgettable overall just like 99% of new games in general.

This game looks great! I've played a bit of the first one and am now even more excited to check out the second. Great work as always!
That playable Zombie looks badass!
Good vid as always man
had this game, my mom got it for me as a valentines day present when i was really young. it was pretty good!
I used to own this game and I totally forgot the name of it until your video! Thanks for the throwback!
I pondered what to play next, so I’m glad to hear the recommendation.
I played this game as a kid and for years tried to figure out its name. Finally
I really like the music in this game.
The music in this game sounds pretty good...I might have to listen to the soundtrack and do a few covers.
It's funny that I saw this comment right above yours:
"Ugh, Gameboy chip-tunes get really grating on the ears after a while"
Yeah i was really digging it too. What's one of your favorite 8 bit games as far as music?
NiggelMyNiggel Some of my favorite 8-bit soundtracks are Journey to Silius, Freedom Force, Castlevania, Mega Man 4, Kirby's Dream Land, Double Dragon, TMNT 2, Ducktales, and Batman.

Mega Man 9.
Most of the 8-bit Mega Mans, really, but Mega Man 9 has some great earworms.
This gives me a very Final Fantasy Legend 2 vibe, with the different characters, and I love that aspect! I wish they'd do a revamp of this one, it looks amazing.
Looks awesome! Keep these obscure game finds coming.
I'm always a little bummed when you don't wish me a good rest of my day
vitor kk It means he knows you will have a bad day. He doesn't want to disappoint. He doesn't want to mislead.
Good guy SnesDrunk
Guess I’ll have to watch another
The first Rolan’s Curse is a two-player game. That’s pretty cool.
This is one of my favorite games of all time, even though I acknowledge it has no right to be. It just hit me at the right age back when I first got it. I've played through it many times since, including once earlier this year on my RetroPie. Once you get Zold, the bad guys don't stand a chance! Great video, and the flaws pointed out are fair points. Sure wish I still had my original boxed copy, but since it now costs an arm and a leg, my repurchased loose cart will have to do.
They have this cartridge at my Lgs for about $40. Considered it. Good review
I really like how consistent you are on your video releases.
Now THIS is a game that needs a remake.
That music at the end got my head bobbin... I played through iron sword last week. That game might have the best 8 bit tunes ever
Apparently my dad played this game when he was in college. Looks like reasonably fun game, I might have to try it if he still has it or if I can find a rom of it.
This sounds amazing. I definitely need to check this out. Thanks!
wow this game looks good! I would have loved to have it as a kid!
The music is amazing!
Interesting. I love games that put emphasis on exploration and secrets. This party management aspect is well thought out, in addition of the puzzle game aspect requiring you to choose the right hero. I have never heard about it back in the days. Is it rare in the market?
Yea rare cart only is easy enough to find on Ebay but cib is non existent
Don't know if the music is from the game but it's clutch AF! If it is I'd play the game for the music alone :P
Lance Uppercut it is from the game. Loved the music as a kid.
Its so much like captain tsubasa's II famicom music
I like that you can play as a zombie, and that his weapon is apparently a detached skeleton's arm.
Hmm. A nice little rpg game for gb to dive into.. Sounds good to me!
Woah SNES Drunk reviews Rolan Curse 2!
Yeah, I didn't think anyone knew about this game!
I got these games as they were released, and I thought they were the coolest games ever. As an adult, I gotta say the first is a great for when you can't sleep, and you don't want to pop a sleep aid.
Ill have to check this game out.
Is the music as good as the first game? I remember the music being one of my fav things about the original.
Yea it's great.
at the end of the video he refers to this game as an, "adventure rpg hybrid" game. what classifies it as a hybrid? what is it a hybrid of?
Adventure Games like Zelda are usually top-down games in which you roam around, solve puzzles, pick up items, etc. RPG games are usually top-down games that usually don't have as many puzzles though there are some exceptions (Lufia 2..) and they usually don't have items usable in roaming mode and RPGs usually involve battle segments, XP, and levelups.

O i see. very concise and thorough explanation. thank you very much. i appreciate it.

Artum he does videos on Steam games a lot so he might check these out.
duffman18 I know and hopefully he does. :)
Wheelchair Zelda!

Sounds like a hidden gem.
How about a review of Lagrange Point?
G-booooy Drunk!!! btw didn't even know there was a second one! I actually enjoyed the first.
Interesting looking game!
Jude was OP. It was a fun game back in the day.
"This is a great pick up and play game. For the game boy. Imagine that!" LMFAO
Wow I never heard of these games before.
How long have you been collecting these retro games?
He emulates a lot.
Im old...
I'd imagine most of his subs are mid-30's.
When I see these reviews makes me realize how primitive some of these titles are, but its awesome when you can school the kids on it. Not to mention they think its cool. How easily entertained they are😂
Im 10 and I love SNES games
So did people who were 10 in the 90's. Those games are timeless!
Dude Kyle kinda looks like me!
Game Boy on SNESdrunk? I can't complain too much, 'cause the Game Boy is my favorite system. But why not Game Boy Drunk? =P
Ooh, that's perfect!
Solid use of the word milquetoast, don’t hear that often.
More gb games please.
Love how his sign-off is to just stop talking.
Found your channel about two months and have now nearly watched every upload! Upload more, upload faster Lol! Thank you
Thank you for watching
I Playing this for the First Time.
Never heard of this one... which undoubtedly means it was yet ANOTHER game they never bothered releasing in the PAL regions because screw the PAL regions. Ugh, it wasn't easy growing up a gamer in Australia in the 80s and 90s...
Holy fuck the second one is expensive.
No zirdik on this video 😐
Ugh, Gameboy chip-tunes get really grating on the ears after a while

Original Gameboy is aged horribly , can't play even a single game of it
Sorry for your lack of good taste.
