Gaming Abominations- Conan: Mysteries in Time

[Doommaster1994]

Great review! Mindscape also copied the Last Starfighter.

Can I have that cart? :P

[WillSerenity]

@Doommaster1994 Haha, nahhh. Someday, I think I'll try to beat it on the actual cartridge. I think I'll need some form of drug for that. XD

[Doommaster1994]

@WillSerenity LOL

I apologize I tried to rate your comment up but I accidentally clicked dislike :(

But this was a great review. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to more vids.

[trydowave]

this looks like a myth clone c64 version

[Gmoooba]

@trydowave It most definitely is.

[scoundr3l]

Yeah, it's a bad game. I think you're vastly over-playing it's badness, though. The worst graphics you've ever seen? Lol

[ChrisDInch]

I don't know what's better, your review of that game or the closed captioning trying to re create what you say hahaha it rocks!!

[WillSerenity]

@ChrisDInch LOL, yeah! I wish I could take credit for it, but that all goes to Youtube's automated captioning system, haha. Glad you liked it! ^_^

[kherubhm]

This game is a poor man's Zelda all over. Conan himself would chop the heads off the people who made this game if he got the chance.

[70sHippy]

Man level 6 was really bad omg, lol

[Edgefox88]

Probably the best example is (J.R.R. Tolkien's LotR volume 1) for SNES. Its a game not alot of people knew about for the SNES that was licenced after that legandary franchise. But generally its a terrible game.

[Edgefox88]

But because it carrys the LotR licence, & it predates the Peter Jackson films, treating it as its own independant adaption. It hearby becomes a valueble collector's item, which means more people are out looking for it to add to there collection. Thus making copys if it harder & harder to come by.

Hope that answers you questions

[WillSerenity]

You are correct. Anything from a popular franchise eventually will become a collector's item.

I remember LotR Volume 1 on the SNES. It wasn't really that bad of a game. I got stuck because I couldn't find on of the items you need to get into Rivendell, haha. I remember waiting for Volume 2 and 3, which, of course, never came.

[Edgefox88]

(Willserenity: That said, if you're looking for punishment or your a collector................... $20.00. $20.00 for this game, because its rare, why is it a rare game?)

Well the best answer would be, its licenced after a the popular Conan franchise, & its a video game.

To put it simple, anything thats marketed after a legandary franchise like Conan the Barbarian is garanteed to turn into a collectors item in the following years.

[TheWizard666]

For the record, the manual tells you sweet fuck all about what to do as well. The game isn't as horrible as anyone says, just VERY unforgiving. Has anyone ever got past level 6 on the actual cart? I haven't got any further than that personally, but I would like to know if anyone has made it as far as I have...

[ggman3000]

This game is a massive rip off of an old c64 game called myth

[Ipodmastur1]

THAT GAME sucks i wish that someone made a Conan game based on the movie(Conan the Barbarian)

[thegreatsamurai82]

the movie sucks its not even based on full conan stories by Robert E Howard some of them are Krull stories written into the screenplay

[Ipodmastur1]

Dont say that GOD BLESS ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER AND CONAN THE BARBARIAN MOVIE :P

[thegreatsamurai82]

meh i guess its on how you see things, its my opnion, the second movie at least tried to stay true to the stories, the first is kinda all over the place, i mean the whole james earl jones snake guy is right out of a krull story not a conan story... i mean how would you like to see jurassic park but then combine elements of westworld made into a film

[Ipodmastur1]

You know that there is a cowboy themed dinousar movie theme shit its name is The Valley of Gwangi It sucks major balls i watched when i were a kid!!!

[calebmalkavian]

The worst game in history!

I spent my time playing it when i was a child.. poor graphics, horrible music...simply annoying

great review

[sbcmarine81]

Good review---cheap game. That game was so horrible. I feel sorry for you and the memories that game left.

[supermariogalaxian]

You need to try holding A and up to do a kick, it will take out enemies easily.

[loudbark07]

Why is there an ALIEN Grey head on Conans Sword?

[kevinfrayne]

lol, you're wrong. you don't need to pick shit up using down, a, and b. you just hold a and press down once. quite simple and you looked exactly how i thought you would. lol

[WillSerenity]

After testing it out, I have discovered that you are correct. Makes it easier to pick up items...doesn't make the game any better, lol.

I was just going by what I always knew. Never had instructions, was just told how to play it. Thanks for the info.

[Metroidfan10]

I've never played Conan, but when I saw this review I'm glad I didn't.

[astronut2004]

ITs not that bad. Thanks

[astronut2004]

GREAT REVIEW!

[RocMegamanX]

Good thing this game is rare then.

[GameHermit]

"Bow to Conan! Bow to me!" Hehehe... Favorite part.

[SidNightWalker]

Lol, what a shitastic game.

[stanburdman]

I never remember Conan being able to jump exactly like prince of persia.

[Dentolux]

Great review Will. Wahey we get to see you at the end.

I had no idea Conan was the NES version of Myth. I played Myth on my Amstrad and it was excellent. Sad to see that it didn't transfer well to the consoles. Sucks how they changed the title in a feeble attempt to boost sales.

[WillSerenity]

Yeah, I don't understand it either. I wanted to do a comparison between this and the other versions, but I couldn't find working emulators. Maybe, I'll try again sometime.

[Novaqua1]

Funny how in the C64 Myth version you only have 1 button in the joystick, and still picking items was simple, but in this version you got what? 4 6 buttons, which should make it easy to pick up items, but some how they fail to make it work.

[cheetahmen92]

Congrats on beating the 1st level. And that has to be one of the worst endings to a NES game.

[goldskarr]

the anubis is also from startropics 2:zoda's revenge!

[WillSerenity]

Good eye, sir!

[goldskarr]

that was one of the better nintendo games.how could i've forgotten him?well,that,and the fact that i had to fight him at least twice(deaths not included)and i played the whole game in one whole day.

[goldskarr]

but still-thanks.

don't ask why this took 2 months to write.i'm lazy :P

[meta2006]

I can't believe that you passed (and taught us how to)that Chimera or something like that!!!!!!!!!! Just because of this I'll give you 5 stars!!!!!

[homelessguy99]

[Ademis]
