Hydlide

[rellik187redrum]

I remember my dad took my cousin and i to get a game each at kb toys, i got final fantasy and suggested hydlide for my cousin and he got it. when we got home he almost cried and his dad got him final fantasy the next day. The game was one of the worst ever made... Sorry cuz.

[MisterMantastic]

What the fuck is the point of this game?

[TheRealThreeP]

@MisterMantastic To avoid playing it like the plague? That's been my experience, anyway.

[BurnYourCash]

i remember the name but forgot the game, now i know why.

[PestigeKelpone]

How did he die at the end?

[Arkhandroid]

It'd be great if the people whining about how this game sucks actually knew how to play such an easy fucking game.

[schtolteheim]

This is one of the better JRPGs if compared to the most recent ones.

[LotusGramarye]

to be fair to Hydlide, it is one of the first console RPGs and was released in 1986. as such, when it was released in Japan, it was not that bad, but it was dumb for NoA to release it here 4 years later, after Dragon Quest/Warrior, Legend of Zelda, and the soon-to-be-released FF.

and super hydlide for sega genesis is VERY fun. I highly recommend it (best option is emulation)

AVGN quote about music:

Is a variation of the indiana Jones Theme!, and never, fucking, Stops! xD

[sl1963]

Had to switch off, that Indiana Jones rip off music is so annoying and unsuited to the game.

[urtv1]

the first thing that hits anyone playing the game is the music. Yeah it's indiana jones

[Krissdafish]

God damnit that music killed over 10 times just alone.....

[Magur]

My brother bought this game for 3 dollars back in the 90s. THe game sucked, he sold it for 5 bucks a week later, Poor guy who bought it, probably shot himself.

[krononomikon]

looks like it's played like Ys 1...  just run straight into monsters to attack them, but don't get blindsided or you're dead? :(

[reesemitchell]

I remember my mom buying me this for Christmas. It was hard as hell. I did not know what to do and about exp.

[saanichprince]

This looks like a good way to go insane.

[toastersstoast]

plus the guy playing apparently doesn't know you're supposed to hold A to attack.

[toastersstoast]

this is THE original rpg. like, the first game with dragons and knights and all that, even before that crappy Dungeons and Dragons thing, so don't knock on it!

[jkdskinhead]

What.. the first Hydlide came out in 1984. There were already 2 dungeons and dragons games out by that time, being released in 82. There were also several other Rpgs before Hydlide. A console version of Hydlide didnt even come out untill 86 tho. Dungeons and dragons has been on Intellivision since 82

[Maximusmadrica]

Wrong, so very fucking wrong. Stop playing and talking about games from now on.

[FarazParsa]

The first four notes are lifted directly from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[cheesefan42]

yup they are i noticed that too

[jsmall94]

this game makes me vomit, big time!

[SkepticsClaw]

Ahaha, the music.... AAAAARGGGH

[Blaziken257]

What kind of game is this? You play for 10 seconds and you get a Game Over instantly? I'm staying away from this game...

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Wise decision. I was one of the unfortunate many who tried it, and hated it.

[ParadoxNG]

the music mkes me horny

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Then you must be a sadist.

[TheUniqueMaster]

This is worst than dr. jekyll & mr hyde, deadly towers, somari and ghostbusters(nes) but its miles and miles away from action 52.

[lifelesslink]

Indiana Jones! on crack!

Guy: Oh boy BLOBS!!! SO FUN!!! OH BOY!!! HOLES!!!

[hostel969]

the beginning of the song sounds sounds like Indiana Jones! lol.

[UltimateGameLord]

the dude: "oh boy holes"

[HelloFade2]

this isn't the only game that rips off the Indiana Jones theme, the music played on the title screen of "A boy and his blob" sounds like it too

[shivers7766]

it was an ok game

[d3fod]

is this the first rpg game in the world i thought is final fantasy

[ChrisBurr555555]

Virtual Hydlide roked!

[dvdtranslations]

Uh, you might want to try attacking the enemies instead of defending them so you can kill them. Remember, Hydlide was ported to the NES 3 years after it was made, but the time we saw it many better games had come out, but if you look at it for what it was, when it first game out, it was a fun groundbreaking game.

[tomatzu]

Yuck... The third Hydlide game was so much better.

[furbearingbrick]

This is actually Hydlide Special, a revised version of Hydlide that apparently "fixed" some programming issues. If the "improved" version is THIS buggy, I shudder to imagine what it was ORGINALLY like...

[hentaiseeker]

You also have to stand still to recover your HP.

[CarlstonSolar]

Jesus this game! I hated this game. I rented it got to the end in a space ship and died, btw there was on continue. You had to attack one thing retreat heal do it again over and over by level 10 your ok but it sucked,

[zaccds]

damn the music is annoying

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Sounds a lot like the Indiana Jones theme being butchered on a Casio keyboard, while the player is getting pelted by coconuts that a pissed off spider monkey is throwing at him.

[Juliusaime]

Thats what I thought! IT sorta sounds like a druged made verson of the Indiana Jones theam.

[MapleFr3ak]

not much of a review and yes it is possible to die in 2 seconds in this game

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

I heard it was possible to die in 2 seconds in Hydlide.

[Magitek111]

I'm pretty sure if you hold the button that switches between "Attack" and "Defend" and run into an enemy,you can attack...

[smplJim]

you can

[molondrongo]

Enemies... are... immortal.

[Nintega]

They completely massacred the Indiana Jones theme! lol
