Your rank is...A

[NY1love]

I thought the comments were quite rude, but let's be serious. This guy sucks at the game. I was almost yelling at my screen, "DON't MOVE FORWARD!!!!" And he moves right into the fire (multiple times), hhahaha. But thanks for showing me the ending, i never beat the game as a child.

[likestojam]

how do you have unending lives?

[lynx82901]

Just awesome. It's Reeeeaaallllyyyy FUNNNYYYYY!!!!! Actually I tend to dislike a play game with commentary, but LOL yours is reaaalllllyyy funny.... =))

Congratulation for beating this game =D

[Laurelindo]

I love Middle East-inspired games.

[robertjpeterson]

Wow. There are some real jagoffs on here.

My brother was OBSESSED with this game when we were kids. He played through the whole game a zillion times, and he always had to get help from the old NES hotline -- remember that? I still don't know how he beat it. This game's impossible. I remember he really liked one of the levels -- level 46? 47? Because of it was so ingeniously hard. This game's hard, but the level design is masterful.

[mooch0825]

You suck. You suck. Oh yeah, and you ABSOLUTELY SUCK!!!! Couldn't beat it as a child, and you obviously suck just as much as an adult. If you can't beat it the right way, don't play the game. Your walkthrough sucks. Your gameplay sucks. Yelling at the game like a 5 year old, unlimited retries, if that's the only way you can beat a game, then go beat yourself.

[ZetaPlays]

You never beat space invaders so you're BANNED FROM ALL ARCADE GAMES! Beating games with skill is the only reason to play them ever!

[nicobandicoot]

@ZetaPlays zetta i watch A LOT a response of yours to this kind of coments but this one is one of the best i migth even use this coment and the response in one video do you mind?

[ZetaPlays]

if you want

[Puggalug]

I could never beat this game as a kid, so I played it on the emulator (using the save/restore feature, because I'm playing to relive my past rather than play the game over again). Had to watch this video to learn how to beat the final room. Would never have dawned on me that you had to click the mirror if it weren't for this video. Thanks! Now I can have closure with how this game ended (along with Athena, another tough NES game).

[Quantumjitter]

I played this way back and I only ever got to maybe level 20ish max myself. So, congratulations! :)

[teevee512]

I have played this game hundreds of times and have NEVER gotten past level 20 or so. It's good to see the ending, even though it kind of sucks :) At least I know what I am missing. Thanks for posting.

[FoxLightstep]

Just so you know; you didn't actually beat it. You have to get every Solomon's Seal to actually beat the game. They're hidden throughout the levels. Also the reason you were able to take out that last slate grey block was because clicking on the mirror gives your wand the power to do it. (that's what Tecmo told my parents, anyway)

[death123abc]

dana's a guy?

[BrackBert]

I just played through this game, and it is absolutely impossible to beat unless you cheat. It's soooooooooooo easy to slip and die. Still, if this game had had a save feature, it would have been much more popular.

[KHallesy]

the solution was to touch the black mirror and then hit the middle stone to enter the book room

[Puzzler001]

People telling you off for stupid reasons. They need to go get sucked.

Thanks for the giggle from the vid :)

[boogeyratt]

Hahahaha. I have to say... the commentary was mostly annoying aside from "Dammit... double dammit... triple dammit... quadruple dammit... fuck!"

[RoySki007]

ahahaha i love the way you swear about dana :D dana, dana... dana!! ahahaha anyway thanks for the share :)

[jupreindeer]

Oh, gawd! I don't know which is worse. The famously cheap NES ending or having to be a pixel master. (Another NES Ha(e)ll of Fame thing.) I am now SO thankful on ALWAYS having passed on this game as a kid. Yet, oddly inspired to try it via Dreamcast emulation. (Gawd bless the State Save.)

[darkwolfzain]

Hahahahaha this is funny, your dieing so much it isn't even funny man. Don't get me wrong this game is hard as fuck.

[MrSweJohn]

If you've ever watched AVGN, let me let you know that when I play this Im him x10

[Reaper1984]

This with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was some of the hardest games for the Nes that i played.

I never managed to finish the game as a kid.

Would be fun to give it a try now tho.

[ugleland]

U Suck like hell! Don't use save, and! Try to be serious!

[Rushthatspeaks]

@ugleland I bet you never even played this game junior, so i'd shut the fuck up. This is when games took actual skill, not fucking CoD where a bunch of wiggers and yo boys camp kill each other.

[ugleland]

@Rushthatspeaks It was a joke! I have played this games a 1000 times.. And I still havent completed it without the save function.

[PandoraLeigh]

this is a great puzzle game. That last block on last level just won't give for some reason!

[Archedgar]

I'm surprised most people don't know that you can "Continue" in this game so it's not as hard as most people think.

Anyway thanks for the video, I never got to see the final part.

...

[MrSweJohn]

In my version you can't Continue

[GremlinUA]

MAN nice but try to make it On NES without save i comes to 42 lvl without PC on my NES(dendy)

[9562962]

aw, you didnt get the real ending that needed the secret items! Now you have to go back and play through the game again. :P

[sureshoe]

Did anyone ever beat this POS without an emulator? This is without a doubt one of the most pointlessly difficult games ever. Deadly Towers is easy compared to this game.

[valiantvideo9]

I love it.. 8:00 .. hahah..

[unocarb]

And to think they marketed this game to innocent kids!!! No wonder so many in the 80's went completely mad later!!

[scottkmaxwell]

It was great watching you play this last level. So frustrating, but well done! When I was a kid my brothers and I were obsessed with this game, and we didn't have the benefit of Game Genie or anything. We'd get to this last level over and over but were always stumped. That last block became breakable once you hit the shield with your wand. We were never actually able to figure that out, but a few years ago one of my brothers told me he finally did it using an online FAQ. Thanks for these vids!

[elsquibbs]

Why don't you flatten the blue flames before trying to jump them? "I'm gonna need magic to do this!" Sorry, but this gameplay is painful to watch.

[ZetaPlays]

nobody made you watch it

[thrilla101]

damn i remember when i was a kid and i played this game..so frustrating..but cool vid, 7:00-8:30 funny has hell to me..

[MugenRenegade]

Theres more?! geez...

[elsquibbs]

All you have to do now is go through all 50 regular rooms, collect all eight Solomon's Seals and visit the 2 secret Lost Page rooms and the Princess Room! :)

[elsquibbs]

Solomon's Key is still my favorite NES game of all time.

[Eabatu]

I think mastering the magickal texts of Solomon and his actual keys would be far easier than mastering this evil game!

[KnaRRaN1989]

I had this on Gameboy :D fucking awesome Game

[adsfiipop]

i love how you just blame dana and even get mad at him for jumping in the fire.. things.. which you can lower.. flames.

whatever,, its a great game. i suck at it :p

[ZetaPlays]

Well it's obviously Dana's fault, he's the one doing it! It's not like some outside force is controlling his life or anything..

[Goldsac]

dude your skills/timing at this game are painful to watch! Cool vid series though - i've gotten to room 43 so far and am trying to beat it w/o an emulator, so this was a good preview of things to come.

[KaseyAkira]

Cheaaaaaaaaap!

Man in a good speed run you never show us that you're using save states! Its like going to a show and seeing them use the props. We know you're using them but come on, you're not supposed to show us.

[ZetaPlays]

Where does it say this is a speed run? this is a Let's Play. I'm playing it simply to play it, save states are just me keeping my sanity.

[Eabatu]

Lets see you go thru this nearly impossible accursed game. I personally don't care he was doing this the way he did, for what I saw were rooms that require MANY MANY MANY tries to master WITHOUT an emulator.

Now I know what to expect, likely a prescription to some sort of anti psychotic meds after going thru this damned game!

[WhiteJewDevil]

i save the last game screen shot :)

[ArChirdzZ]

me da nauseas tu manera de pasar este juego!!! lo haces ver como un juego para daws.

[d5h]

holy crap, i have never seen these levels until now. is it even possible without save states?

[ZetaPlays]

theoretically, but I never did it myself.

[Alkaline67]

There's a continue option - at the game over screen press up+a+b at the same time and you can continue at the last stage you died on. This only works up until level 41 though, so you have to be damn good by that time in the game.

[stt5v2002]

Fantastic job. This game was made by sadists. I haven't played it in 13 years, and never got past about level 20. Maybe I'll try again... nah.

[Watcher3223]

@stt5v2002 "This game was made by sadists."

I know I'm replying to a 2 year old post, but the difficulty of this game coincides with Tecmo's slogan back in the late 80s: "Hard to beat."

[shadez007]

Sounds like me playing that damn game!

[jayMaze5]

Great Job.  I cant get passed level 8
