I always loved how D&D could never settle on just what Kobolds actually looked like. Are they little dog people? Little demon people? Little rat people? Little lizard people? Little lizard people with little dog noses!?
Kobolds are beyond the basic comprehension of mortal vision, obvs. One does not simply grasp the TRUE concept of how Kobolds look like, as there is no true form to their divine existence.
+ProJared It's funny you bring up the dragons as being quarter suckers. To be fair it's true to the rules. The Black Dragon is an Age Category I would say 6 and the Red is easily a 10. You're facing them at level 3 at best. Of course they're going to wreck you. :D
+SpaceHamster Oh... Oh gee, golly. H-hi, Mr. S-spaceh-hamster, s-s-sir It's-s-s- an hon-n-n-nor to m-m-meet y-ou... I CAN'T DO THIS!!!!! *Runs away screaming.*
Hmmm. The steam version has a four pack. There are four people in my D&D party. That might be something to scratch the itch when life inevitably gets in the way of consistent playing
Dragon's Crown is a spiritual sequel to these DnD arcade games. George Kamitani from Vanillaware worked on these games back in the day. That's why it's so good. I LOVE Dragon's Crown. You ought to cover it Jared. It has a massive DnD vibe to it.
To counter, the foul Boxican throws a dislike sphere of ruination. *Rolls 1, then 20* The orb shatters and a fragment hits the like button, adding more likes. The Boxican reluctantly subscribes.
This game is amazing!!! One of my absolute favorites growing up. George Kamitani (creator of Vanillaware) worked on both of the DnD arcade games and it SHOWS if you go and play Dragons Crown, essentially a spiritual successor to these amazing arcade games.
+Just “AtticusZed” Atticus Zed Reason behind his rating system? If so, he did in his 100th video or whatever K sub video a little while back. If i remember correctly, he has always generally been against the x out 10 way and he thought it was funny. You can generally tell by what his following opinion is going to be if it is a negative or positive.
@@Chad_Eldridge In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Dracula utters those words as he sits in his throne. Projared referenced this with the skeletal baddie saying "What is a man?" And the commenter here finished the quote with their "A miserable little pile of secrets!". Happy to illucidate ya, friend. :)
+Unshaved Malevolence Yes. Its basically this game but the level ups actually matter and a loot system. Honestly, the art style is absolutely gorgeous but then again, I'm a huge Frank Frazetti art fan
+Adam Brown I personally found the game good too. Aside from few questionable character designs and couple of completely unecesary minigames, it was pretty good in short bursts.
I love Dungeons & Dragons Shadow over Mystara slightly more than I do Dungeons & Dragons Tower of Doom. Reasons why? The addition of the Magic User, who was a very popular character on this game. More people played as the Magic User in my opinion than any of the other playable characters. Also, the magic weapons were a lot better on D&DSOM than D&DTOD. There was another game called King of Dragons which wasn't apart of the D&D games but still developed by Capcom. Capcom and Midway were two of the biggest arcade giants back then.
The arcade I went had both at one time. Played them a bit, really cool games for time. And I knew that the games followed the books allot, it is why it was beloved. But you would burn so many quarters so I when back to the NeoGeo section. It was always hard to play because a group of guys always had that machine.
Been a fan of your content for 3 years or so now, right before I moved to Eagle River, Wisconsin. Super cool that one of my favorite youtubers have been here! I'm quickly learning that the midwest is super huge into tabletop gaming, which is awesome. Being inside way beats being eaten alive by mosquitoes!
I read somewhere that the love for tabletops comes from annual 4 month periods of deathly cold where the best place to be is tucked in the basement by the heater Lake Geneva is the birthplace of DnD after all, so there has to be some merit to that idea😂
Surprised he didn't mention Dragon's Crown, which is pretty much a modern HD version of these games. Like the Dragon boss in Dragon's Crown is a direct shout out to the Dragon boss in the DND game.
The games were developed by Capcom though, a Japanese game developer. This wasn't a western made game, it was just based on something that was western in Dungeons & Dragons.
Wait, how can you go from saying that the sequel is even better and then turn around and tell us that the first is your favorite? Or is it that childhood nostalgia puts it over the edge for you? Which is totally cool.
IIRC, Shadow over Mystara was a console release and Tower of Doom was an arcade release, so when he talks about his favorite arcade game, Shadow over Mystara is ineligible.
Sweet! I've been wanting to get this game for years, ever since I found out about the Japan-only console release. I first encountered Shadows of Mystara(didn't find out about Tower till years later) in Las Vegas at Circus, Circus during a bowling Tournament at one of the other casinos. Been a favorite ever since. :)
This was back when Steam was having massive DDOS problems that visually resulted in profiles getting crossed with one another. A bad time, but only a temporary one.
which proves once more that owning a game is superior to renting it and at current times only pirates do own games, ARRRRRGH! (Seriously though, I quite miss those times when you bought a game and could never lose it unless you would destroy your own disk yourself. Where did the sense of your own property go?)
Ummmm...bitch, you forgetting about GOG or what? Also, it was only for a couple of days and any games you actually owned weren't affected, just the ability to buy games. Which was, again, fine, because steam sales last for more than 48 hours.
It wasn't even for a few days, it was for a few hours on one day and you don't rent games on Steam...you still own them and that's not a valid excuse for piracy. And I believe there are tons of valid excuses for piracy. "Property ownership" though isn't one of them.
+blackconvoy They were at their lowest after RE6, and many were worried they'd collapse. But they are thankfully bouncing back, and for SF5 you'll be able to purchase DLC character with actual "In-Game currency" instead of them being on-disk DLC crap like they pulled before. They're learning their lesson at least, unlike #FucKonami grrr
+theblocksays I guess but the fact that they also cancelled a bunch of games and Street Fighter is kinda their only ip that still makes them money is saying that Capcom has a long way to go in recovery.
You can get the DVD collection pretty much anywhere nowadays, including Amazon. There is a bluray release but so far it's only available in Japanese and bizarrely enough German. If you've looking for an illegal stream tho, do your own research.
I just wanted to say thank you for making a video about this game! After you revealed that it's now on PS3 I immediately downloaded it and have been loving every minute of it! So again Thank You!
I love when games warn you multiple times to not do something dangerous. The degression of text is always funny because it starts all proper and polite like "We highly advise you rethink your decision" to "Listen, numbnuts. This is our last warning."
Such a difficult game, but so satisfyingly put together. As a kid, I played it in the arcade every chance I got, and I was ecstatic when they finally released it on PSN.
+PAPYRUS THE COOL DUDE It's on sale on Wii U too, I just got it myself, it went from 15 bucks to 5.99. not a bad deal if you don't mind it not being on your PC.
"Every D&D game starts with murdering these little bastards." Except... except Baldur's Gate. The designers of that one didn't get that memo. Which is probably why the beginning of that game is HARD AS BALLS if you actually make a beeline to the Friendly Arm Inn like the game instructs you to. I've had Chronicles of Mystara on my PS3 for a while but it's only after watching this review that I was motivated to play through the game. It's a really fun one--head and shoulders above Golden Axe in my book.
So glad you did this one, Jared. My friends and I liked pretending we weren't total nerds til we saw SoM at Mr. Arcade. After that day, we hardly played anything else.
I thought I was super lucky that my local arcade had both Tower of Doom and Knights of the Round growing up. I loved both. Although, I didn't play any DnD as a kid so I definitely remember being more of a Knights fan. I would always get so excited every time I found a rideable horse, and a new armor set every rank up.
3 things that bug me about this game. : 1- You can't change character when you continue. 2- Sometimes you don't have enough time to pick up treasures and the game automatically moves your character to the next stage, especially after a boss fight. 3- Flying or ground level enemies that your character attacks only when it feels like it. Also, I find the first game better because it's more streamlined. The second game has 3 menus for spells and items to cycle thru, it's a mess in a game where a second of inattention can get you killed.
The only thing I've ever known about D&D was my brothers and their friends making their own spin on the campaigns, such as a Skyrim campaign. It was entertaining to hear bits and pieces of it from my brothers.
You and your party aproach the castle walls. You see about fifteenish human, elf, and dwarf guards and a dragonborn guard. You hear the screams of what you know are halfling prisoners, probably being tortured. You heard that this town is made completely from grey stone, from the homes to the tree statues. Your party is made up of a human sorcerer, a dragonborn rogue, a gnome wizard, a human fighter, and a dwarf paladin. What do you and your party do?
+Adam Van Der Hoeven I approach one of the guards. "Hey... I heard this is where I can get some powdered halfling bone," gesturing to a small pouch of gold on my belt.
Watching this video all these years later, now that I know how D&D works… that Dwarf’s stats are literally worse than the average mindless, shambling zombie. Hell, they’re worse than the Kobolds you fight at the start of this game.
To the D&D expecialists, can any of you guys explain to me why the Dragons in D&D can't make multiple uses of their breath attacks like any other Dragon in other fictional medias?
Gabriel Perrella Most likely fairness issues, if they could use their breath weapons unlimitedly then fighting them would be impossible, any dragon fairly intelligent would just stay to the air raining death on the party, killing the low con. characters on one hit probably and heavily wounding everyone else.
cause it's not natural phenomena but rather an act of magic and magic rules are established by the Goddess of magic, not by the nature of things or dragons themselves. This ability surely can be obtained through DNA but it still stays a magic ability, not biological one.
the roll to recharge mechanic is cool though. I feel if you made the DC higher then you could get away with having an unlimited dragon breath. Or boost it above 3 at least.
I played this game as a kid for the five seconds it was at my local pizza place (Pete's-A-Place -- yeah, I was not proud of that). I was the Cleric (because he was my D&D husbando -- I am ashamed), and I lasted a pretty decent length of time before dying...I want to say to the kobold siege tank? I did not get many quarters, X-Men: Children of the Atom was also in that arcade, and I was/am an enormous X-Men nerd, sooo... But yes, when I found it on XBLA I had to have it. And I agree with Jared -- this game's incrdible, especially for a quarter-munching beat-em-up. And Shadow over Mystara is, amazingly, better in nearly every sense. Except the part where it's STILL a quarter-muncher. Thankfully, ports no longer have this problem so you can finally see the end, even if, like me, you're terrible at this game. ^_^
I played the German version. The translation is amazing, because it's so bad.
Nothing beats an attack by very polite goblins.
Alright, here's what you do. Get the funniest lines from the German Version, and make a compilation! DO IT DO IT DO IT!
Sounds like the translators didn't know how to translators!
Wait, what? Oh no, now I have to get the game just to see this.
We need more German translations. We need them. noe..
I have bad news for you.
Most german dubs are bad.
Y'know, for only having a Strength score of 12, the fighter is JACKED.
Rachel the Seeker Wow, bad priorities.... honestly I probably could bench more than him!

Guess that's what having Cha as your highest score can do. You'll be kinda wimpy, but everyone will think you can do a LOT more.

Are they little dog people?
Little demon people?
Little rat people?
Little lizard people?
Little lizard people with little dog noses!?

Kobolds are beyond the basic comprehension of mortal vision, obvs. One does not simply grasp the TRUE concept of how Kobolds look like, as there is no true form to their divine existence.
the best version of Kobolds are just dog people.
They're probably lizard demons, but Dragonkin are way cooler. I play D&D, and have other characters/ ideas based on D&D. My Username...

"Every D&D game starts with murdering these little bastards."
Except... except Baldur's Gate. The designers of that one didn't get that memo. Which is probably why the beginning of that game is HARD AS BALLS if you actually make a beeline to the Friendly Arm Inn like the game instructs you to.
I've had Chronicles of Mystara on my PS3 for a while but it's only after watching this review that I was motivated to play through the game. It's a really fun one--head and shoulders above Golden Axe in my book.
...what?
Do a review on the Dragon Age series, they've been my favorites since the Xbox360 days. I'd love to see it.
So glad you did this one, Jared. My friends and I liked pretending we weren't total nerds til we saw SoM at Mr. Arcade. After that day, we hardly played anything else.
Jared, I don’t think people say it enough, but you have an amazing speaking voice and I could listen to you talk all day.
Omg Jared I see dark cloud and dark cloud 2 in your shelf those are my favorite games of all time and I would love to see what you think about them
and since it's the Steam Holiday Sale, It's currently 7 bucks :D

+SkullBasherX Prepare for a lifetime of fun!
beck when being an elf or a dwarf wasn't a race but class of its own.
I thought I was super lucky that my local arcade had both Tower of Doom and Knights of the Round growing up. I loved both. Although, I didn't play any DnD as a kid so I definitely remember being more of a Knights fan. I would always get so excited every time I found a rideable horse, and a new armor set every rank up.

I heard Steam! OFF I GO!
The game is on sale on the eShop! XD
Impressive video! Just finished D&D Tower of Doom last night with my older brother. Nostalgia kicking in!!
3 things that bug me about this game. : 1- You can't change character when you continue. 2- Sometimes you don't have enough time to pick up treasures and the game automatically moves your character to the next stage, especially after a boss fight. 3- Flying or ground level enemies that your character attacks only when it feels like it. Also, I find the first game better because it's more streamlined. The second game has 3 menus for spells and items to cycle thru, it's a mess in a game where a second of inattention can get you killed.

GnomerBro what's wrong with dex?
D&D, welcome to the Capcom World. HADOKEN! :D
The only thing I've ever known about D&D was my brothers and their friends making their own spin on the campaigns, such as a Skyrim campaign. It was entertaining to hear bits and pieces of it from my brothers.
'TH-cam dumps an entire bucket load of 25c pieces into a huge machine'. WELCOME BACK TO THE D&D WORLD PROJARED! :)
Luckily we get D&December this year.
2:57 The music kinda sounds like Megaman X4's stage select theme
You and your party aproach the castle walls. You see about fifteenish human, elf, and dwarf guards and a dragonborn guard. You hear the screams of what you know are halfling prisoners, probably being tortured. You heard that this town is made completely from grey stone, from the homes to the tree statues.
Your party is made up of a human sorcerer, a dragonborn rogue, a gnome wizard, a human fighter, and a dwarf paladin.
What do you and your party do?
Fornicate with the tortured haflings
+Adam Van Der Hoeven Approach the guards. Remove panes. Masturbate furiously to show dominance
+Adam Van Der Hoeven I approach one of the guards. "Hey... I heard this is where I can get some powdered halfling bone," gesturing to a small pouch of gold on my belt.
Eat self.
Approach and ask how much gold to watch the halfling orgy party.
At 6:53, I like to imagine that Jared just dropped a fistful of quarters onto his floor
Watching this video all these years later, now that I know how D&D works… that Dwarf’s stats are literally worse than the average mindless, shambling zombie. Hell, they’re worse than the Kobolds you fight at the start of this game.
Now if only we get a Final Fantasy game in the same style as this.
*STICKS TO SNAKES*
To the D&D expecialists, can any of you guys explain to me why the Dragons in D&D can't make multiple uses of their breath attacks like any other Dragon in other fictional medias?
Gabriel Perrella Most likely fairness issues, if they could use their breath weapons unlimitedly then fighting them would be impossible, any dragon fairly intelligent would just stay to the air raining death on the party, killing the low con. characters on one hit probably and heavily wounding everyone else.
cause it's not natural phenomena but rather an act of magic and magic rules are established by the Goddess of magic, not by the nature of things or dragons themselves. This ability surely can be obtained through DNA but it still stays a magic ability, not biological one.
the roll to recharge mechanic is cool though. I feel if you made the DC higher then you could get away with having an unlimited dragon breath. Or boost it above 3 at least.
I played this game as a kid for the five seconds it was at my local pizza place (Pete's-A-Place -- yeah, I was not proud of that). I was the Cleric (because he was my D&D husbando -- I am ashamed), and I lasted a pretty decent length of time before dying...I want to say to the kobold siege tank? I did not get many quarters, X-Men: Children of the Atom was also in that arcade, and I was/am an enormous X-Men nerd, sooo...
But yes, when I found it on XBLA I had to have it. And I agree with Jared -- this game's incrdible, especially for a quarter-munching beat-em-up. And Shadow over Mystara is, amazingly, better in nearly every sense. Except the part where it's STILL a quarter-muncher. Thankfully, ports no longer have this problem so you can finally see the end, even if, like me, you're terrible at this game. ^_^
Hearing Projared talk about something so passionately is very entertaining.
it's on winter sale right now on steam only 4-5 bucks
Great video. Excellent creator.
Try not to laugh at 6:48.
For me, it's completely impossible.
These games are awesome! It's been several years since I've played them but they are excellent.
I purchased and played this game (and its sequel) recently on the PS3 - talk about a throwback! It aged rather well!
