Sort of a TAS/playthrough, I guess it's not the best but I thought I'd put mine up. Tool assisted because there's nobody that could or would want to beat this game without cheating.
Remember in the movie when they had to blow their way out of a harbour full of opening and closing docks and platforms, dodging mines placed in their own harbour and midget submarines shooting at them?
It makes me feel better in that I wasn’t alone feeling this game was balls to the wall HARD! I never made it past that damn at the end of the first level.
I beat this one in high school. I was obsessed with the film at the time. Hard ass game...and that last level was just the icing on the hardcore cake. Always thought it was weird that the sub looks nothing like the Typhoon/Akula class that RO belonged to
There were hard games, and then there was this. It was designed to kill you. If the almost impossible to navigate levels didn't get you, then the homing missiles would. That's if you managed to survive on a power supply that ran out faster than a Game Gear. Oh and forget fighting your way through. You'll run out of weapons long before you reach the end. I only found at today that that final level existed.... and is entirely different from the rest of the game!
simonpreston I remember beating this game having to use a Game Genie (you know, back when those were actual physical things) using Infinite or 99 subs or something like that. But it didn't help in the sabotage stage. Which I never was able to defeat... until now. Well, until I made the video at least.
Many years ago I beat the final stage for my step father when he found out that the infinite lives cheat doesn't work on that level. Man that was hard.
@@L1011Widebody man this brings back so many memories! I had this on my Family Game console (which I guess is similar to Game Genie?). I remember it was difficult AF! I couldn't have been any older than 10 or 11 at the time but I managed to get to the Sabotage level without any cheat codes but could never figure out how to solve that damn level!!
Not only that but Wikipedia states the Red October is even *larger*, at 198m length. I don't know where they get that from (I haven't read the book, and I haven't seen the movie in years), but damn! (or the Russian equivalent of 'damn')
My story : I was with my dad at a flea market and some dude was selling NES cartridges. I initially picked up one with Tiny Toons , dad gave him the money and we went on our way. After 30 min or so i changed my mind, i pissed off my dad because we had to go back and i chose this game instead because i liked the picture on the cartridge with the submarine. We went home, game sucked major ass, i sucked even more for not passing the 3rd level and dad was chill watching football with a cold beer. Love you dad !
Классно! У меня она почему-то на консоли медленнее идёт. Наверное потому что NES PAL-региона (но со снятой региональной защитой), а картридж NTSC (из Канады заказывал).
man that is one big ass engine-room for a submarine not that mention that they have 30+ cooks on board; also nice to know the commies have secret underwater bases; oh well at least in this version the Captain wasn't lying to his crew when he told them they were going to the tropics for some R&R : D
My parents bought me this for christmas one year, I was like 8 years old and could never last over 30 mins in this game. It's still sitting in my old bedroom at their place in a drawer I crammed it in out of frustration years and years ago lol.
I bet if this game had better music Capcom or Sunsoft -style it would've been a classic. The gameplay is fine. Simple but different from other NES shooters.
14:00 I don't know how my 7-8 year old ass stumbled onto this when I was playing this, BUT... With this aircraft carrier boss, if you killed yourself just after destroying the ship, you would start the next level with 99 lives. It's a trick that I forgot how to do, but it was how I was able to beat the game the first time lol
Worst game ever. I remember buying this game as a kid because I've traveled with my parents, brought the NES but forgot all my games home. I cried the crap out of me and had nightmares with this horrible music
Там, правда, такая история вышла. Не то, чтобы Леонид Ильич мне её презентовал, скорее дал поиграть. Это мой родной брат у него через меня её скомуниздил. Да, мои два брата были большими коммунистами.
IF you complete this game, you can accomplish anything in life
After all these years, that music played in the back of my mind. After hearing it here, I took a long stroll into nostalgic bliss.
Might be the only NES rendition of the Russian national anthem. And they did a great job with it.
Haha I just heard the national anthem of Russia and googled this game.
That intro is pretty bad ass for an NES game
So are the cut scenes (taken directly from the film0. Too bad the game itself didn't match this quality.
Remember in the movie when they had to blow their way out of a harbour full of opening and closing docks and platforms, dodging mines placed in their own harbour and midget submarines shooting at them?
That was my favorite part of the movie, actually.
Almost as much as I liked when Marty McFly was throwing bowling balls at people in "Back to the Future."
The music is realy creepy.
It makes me feel better in that I wasn’t alone feeling this game was balls to the wall HARD! I never made it past that damn at the end of the first level.
A friend of mine beat this, without cheating. Hes not been the same since.
My god...

8 bit soviet anthem: I salute with pride

Considering a Typhoon class submarine is 175m long, the skeleton at the ocean floor at 16:21 is the biggest animal ever discovered.

This game was an utterly joyless slog!

+Bob Montague 8-bit submarines are surprisingly roomy.
Thumbs up for 8-bit Sean Connery :)
This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it
They must b traveling through the Laurentian Abysal!!!
Beat it as a kid, might explain where I got my masochistic tendencies for BS challenges
I actually don't remember if me and family completed sabotage. But going that far in this game was already difficult
Played this when I was a high school. Didnt even know could restore power by back onto surface. Damn..
That's one crazy Marco Ramius...
My parents bought me this for christmas one year, I was like 8 years old and could never last over 30 mins in this game. It's still sitting in my old bedroom at their place in a drawer I crammed it in out of frustration years and years ago lol.
Or when Sean Connery had to navigate the "Crystal Zone"?
Это лучший гимн в мире! Я это ещё заметил в 89 году года мне было 6 лет. а вот игру я первый раз вижу
The terrible sabotage stage was the final stage? I think I reached it once with this turd.
Good video in any case.
Those rockets had some sort of AI
Kinda makes you want to join the navy
Yvan eht nioj.
i memorized the timing, just hope it hasn't been changed 3:00
I remember using forcefield, and it's shown in this playthrough, but what ECM does?
I won this game, off the back of the Butterfinger wrapper
at least the butterfinger was enjoyable
Who planted those bombs? Yosemite Sam?
How much money do you think the composer was paid for this?
Man, that sub moves like a goddamn dolphin, Comunist always are at the forefront
be afraid, yanks, be afraid XD
Loved this game. Used to go to my grandparents as often as I could trying to beat it lol
The Music 😵😵😵😵
Damn so difficult game.. I used to at when I was a kid.. I reached once the crystal zone. I didn't know there was only another level
I bet if this game had better music Capcom or Sunsoft -style it would've been a classic. The gameplay is fine. Simple but different from other NES shooters.
Weren't the 90s such a cool time?

The Hunt for Red October! НАШЕЛ!
Dude this is an awsome game; even Now!
38:28 - This buggy flag. I thought it was only in my copy of the game...
Does this video game use the same graphics engine and sound chip as the Punisher?
It is from the same developers, so it probably does.
Just realised that i never made it past the arctic sea
Worst game ever. I remember buying this game as a kid because I've traveled with my parents, brought the NES but forgot all my games home. I cried the crap out of me and had nightmares with this horrible music
Se podrá conseguir este juego para Wi? Es buenísimo, lo jugué hace años, cuando acababa de salir
Here from Whang!
Who is whang
The game is alright, nothing really special. It is pretty difficult and is also kind of repetitive.
Finally, a game where you get to play as the commies
This game makes me wish the Russians won the cold war
Bu oyuna bayılıyorduk kardeşimle birlikte 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
i managed 23 minutes and could barely beat the first stage. fuck beam. at least you could BEAT an ljn game
This game has Cliffhanger (NES) vibe
This was a tough game
I never made it past the second level.
@@dreamlandnightmare I barely beat it
Then the SNES will be even harder.
Go ahead!
fucking game is impossible it would be easier to operate an actual submarine LOL
One of the most boring video games I've ever played.
клас!!!
+Роман Кадевич Я рад, что вам понравилось. :-)
Мне эту игру лично Леонид Ильич презентовал
А двоюродный брат у меня её скомуниздил
Там, правда, такая история вышла. Не то, чтобы Леонид Ильич мне её презентовал, скорее дал поиграть. Это мой родной брат у него через меня её скомуниздил. Да, мои два брата были большими коммунистами.
ian malcom 39:10 WTF
This was one of the shitiest game I ever played
