Bayou Billy video game (NES) - Deathless playthrough - Part 1

[sor3999]

I remember this game. I at least managed to beat Street Fighter 2010, but not this fucker. I think it's just bad lol

[999Jago999]

this game was realy awesome, but hard to play

[Vinnyboy333]

omg ahahah...i remember playing that.. :P

[YMangaka]

that's strange : I played this game when I was a child and I remember almost everythin clearly until the first drive stage, but I dont remember the part at 3:14 0_o'

[d21lewis]

One of the first games I ever bought. I used to play through the practice modes so I could get the extra life, piece of chicken, and something else (I can't remember) before playing the real game.

If I died one time, I had no chance of beating the game. Had to have the whip on the last couple of levels or the bad guys (Rocky and Rocko) would kick my ass! Man, I loved this game.

[BlamefulEye36]

Just curious what is the difference between Game A and Game B? Difficulty?

[DTysonator]

@BlamefulEye36 Great question!

The difficulty is basically the same between Game A and Game B. The only difference is that in Game A, the NES Zapper must be used during the shooting levels and in Game B, the NES controller must be used during the shooting levels.

So, if you find it hard getting to the enemies quickly enough with a controller, you might have an easier time getting to them with the Zapper, especially when pointing the gun directly to the TV like many tend to do hahaha!

[DTysonator]

@BlamefulEye36 Also, in Game A Billy starts off with less bullets during the shooting levels and is unable to hold down the shooting button for automatic fire as in Game B while using the controller. Therefore, Game A is actually slightly harder in that sense, when not pointing the Zapper directly to the TV of course :).

[BlamefulEye36]

@DTysonator Ahh no wonder he/she's playing on Game B he/she should do a Game A playthrough as well!!! Or would that be impossible??

[DTysonator]

@BlamefulEye36 Haha that was actually me playing on Game B, just check the description :).

A playthrough on Game A wouldn't be impossible by any means, but the shooting levels would be very annoying for the viewer, as the entire screen flashes with every shot taken with the Zapper.

Finishing the game on Game A while using the Laserscope (headset made famous by The Angry Video Game Nerd) would be something :). I would have to record a live run though, in order for my voice to be heard.

[WizardLock]

MORE LIKE BAYOU BADASS AMIRITE?

[pikangs]

I always liked this game because of it's unfair difficulty and watching my brother get frustraded on the first stage when I was able to almost beat it when I was 6 years. Oh and I played on mode A, with the Zapper.

[MrBw1982]

No death? congratulations that game shown no mercy, they should have packaged it with game genie lol

[EasyPeege]

OH-GOD!

[Gameonjonny]

I beat this game when i was 10, i felt amazing! Truly a hard game to play. It CAN be done, just remember to do ALL of practice mode, the power ups and extra's help BIG time!

[rasheedzee]

man, that "E-PUB" billy makes the first time and every subsequent time he gets hit cracks me up.

[RockinReed97]

I got this game Christmas of 1990 and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't beat it.

[SDSOverfiend]

This has to be the most unfair game i ever played in my life. I remember all i wanted to do was make it to New Orleans just to use the whip so i would'nt have to fight up close.. Too bad that jeep driving stage before was too fucking hard.

[GustoTheGamer]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tacoman422]

Am I the only one who thinks the bad guy's laugh sounds a bit like Phil Ken Sebben from Harvey Birdman?

[genestarwindjf80]

wish i have this game as a kid you guys are lucky you own more titles than i did.

[okonokid]

Why was this game so hard?? made no sense...

[DaLHasMo21]

OMG this used to be my shit, haven't played this in 19 years of course I was like 7 at the time

[MagicantNess]

Beat that gator wit' that stick, Billy!

[mopbrothers]

I think the Japanese guys who made this game were racist or something, cause the Jap version of this game is way easier.

[wiisalute]

kept practicing and practicing and keep hearing billy go 'UGGH" every time i lose

[wiisalute]

goddamn this game is hard!!! i get pwned and pwned over and over. I just feel like giving up

[ThePooppantsman]

I love the old school disco porno music

[1975pookie]

I like how the bad guy taunts you at the end of the stages, he's all like "Yeah, I got your ho here with me, all helpless and tied-up in her bra and panties.

And there's nothing you can do about it.... HA HA HA HA!'

[sargeaap]

there is a cool remix of the BGM at OC remixes.com type in the name of the game

[Jedilink109]

Holy crap this looks ridiculous.  I also love how the main character does flying kicks CONSTANTLY but he's so cool, he never gets tired. :P

[polymathecian]

I never got past those alligators.

[Ojay937]

God they be Taking That Dick B4 they die. Hated that game...

[bonorye]

game was unbeatable without genie...now that's QUALITY video game programming..... F-

[pattypopping]

MY WIFE IS FROM LOUISIANA

[animegamingdude]

Props dude. I always thought that was impossible to accomplish without a game genie.

[minusblame]

I had a select group of friends with different levels of parental involvement so "we " had a great idea to get all the right games we wanted. It was all wrapped up with a bow when I got there. All I had to do was lie to my grandmother. Why did she call me and ask why the guy who sold her the game asked how old I was? I had to tell on him.

[LillyHair]

I want this game so bad, I unto play this game when I was a kid.

[Carlos2006ful]

this game is good but very hard at least for me

[AvEryBadApPLe]

billy should be in the next smash bros.!

[MaijinMando]

I actually did well in combat setting, but the car shooting scene is what I'm really weak at. It was a Battletoad of its genre.

[scripteddd]

Does that alligator trick only work with the stick? Also, in the shooting stage, I noticed you only lose ammunition if you miss. Interesting.. I guess the enemies drop exactly one round when they die? :)

[hellraiza81]

Lol Damn if this game doesn't bring back memories for me. Why did he kidnap anabelle anyway? XD

[TheBlackStar999]

@hellraiza81 Who wouldn't?

[KartKing4ever]

I hear this game is humanly impossible so that makes me want to play it even more

[bandit7319]

lol I always sucked at this game, but it really sticks out in my mind for some reason. But damn I didn't remember the AI being that terrible lol. I know it's a Nintendo game but still... they just kinda walk aimlessly around lol

[wiisalute]

I still can't beat this game. but I love the gameplay it's just the enemies. It's so hard to tell when they're gonna strike. Is it like a hit and run kinda game?

[TECHhelpWITcomputers]

thumbs up if you like P.O.W. prisoners of war!

[dexterneptune]

Well done, sir. This was such a hard game. I think I only made it as far as the French Quarter level. Always loved the music, though.

[TheBlackStar999]

I always hated this game because there is no real payoff! You don't get to fuck Annabelle at the end of it, so why would you even bother to go through all this shit to rescue her?

[Tonystarkes888]

they should make an itunes to this song i will buy it.

[kinmanyuen]

Bayou billy is imho the best nes game, great graphics / music

You have:

- sidescroll fighting with items

- radracer style racing + shooting

- operation wolf like shooting with zapper

[afrojayjay]

"You will find that before reaching my estate there will be many obstacles for you to overcome."

Yep. Sounds like a video game to me.

[TayOne32]

I'm getting sea sick watch this playthrough.

[SnakeMan227]

The Inventions of Buying Belly!

[Noclip31]

THIS VIDEO USES THE MOUSE.

[ObiWanBillKenobi]

Seriously, what kind of head gangster villain talks like that? He sounds like Data from Star Trek or something:

""Billy! I'm taking Annabelle away. If you want her back, you will have to come to my estate. You will find that before reaching the estate there will be many obstacles to overcome. Let's see if you have what it takes to get here."

That's about five times as dainty as the least-threatening Disney villain ever. Ooh, I'm quaking in my booties now!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! :D

[wishweweredead]

@ObiWanBillKenobi u wanna talk about villains voices?? what about mr.x from kung fu?! this was the gayest game that i couldnt stop playing when i was little

[Blactor]

Man, nobody remembers this game, but I used to play the SHIT out of it...Zapper and all. I remember being able to beat it, eventually...without a Game Genie.

@ Blakehascake -- Battletoads is, hands down, my FAVORITE NES game. I can't understand why people shit on it so much, it's such a great game!

[blakehascake6645]

some people think this game sucks, but i think it kicks ass like battletoads :D

[4gounet]

Funky !!!

[syrupneko]

I remember this game used to be really badass back in the day. I need to pull out of my collection sometime and give it another try. I haven't played it in over 13 years...

[sblug2]

I remember this game. When we played it, we broke a seat.

[ndonadio]

oh my god I just remembered this game after saw the screw attack video. I finished in NES back when I was a kid and I was so happy that I finish it because it was damn hard!. I remember that the last boss was 2 giant enemies one red and one blue but anyway now I know the name and I can get the game and play it again.

Thanks for the video xD

[DJeimaXe]

Thanks for uploading this, I haven't seen this game in 20 years :"/

[BlackArtsShinji]

Anabelle is hot, don't you think?

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

This game is so hard, it will kick your ass and make you tell it you're a little girl.

[papyrusone1]

LES SOUVENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRSSS!!!!­!!!!! je m'en souviens mais un truc de malade de ce jeu!!!!! ll'ambiance, la maniabilité du jeu, les coups... et la musique .... Merci pour cette vidéo.

[coolrusst]

Funky music i want to go out and buy an nes again and this game and play it !! Thanks for the upload shincyrades !

[cotosinho]

fantasticooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[datdamduff]

WOW are u serious?????? how in the hell were u able to play through this hard ass game without dying. I could never get out of that damn swamp for shit! And the music for shooting part was always my favorite. either way good job beating this game! PROPS TO YOU!

[JeffroTV]

0:08 The adventures of Bayou Beahwy! lmaooooo

[RalphyDee]

Wow. Memories. This game poed me off so bad. Great 2 C some1 has the freakin' patience 2 kill this monster. I couldn't find NE other parts 2 this vid. I would have loved 2 finally C Annabelle get rescued by the original Crocodile Dundee...

[snowdaymusic]

that's all you had to do to beat the alligators???? i used to stand on the side of the lake just out of reach of them and wait for them to come up to me one at a time over and over again and kick them until they were dead, it took like 10 minutes to beat that stationary screen that way, i didnt know you could just stand next to them and pound them on the head...ahhhhhhh

[ElectricPineapple79]

Billy's the most badass Acadian I've ever seen!

[dougbrown04]

bar none, hardest game I have ever played as a kid. never could touch it, and it pleases me to see how many others struggled with it.

[kinmanyuen]

this game isnt hard... some noobs on youtube are mimmicking avgn

[Mofoe2001]

this is the game that led to my collection of broken NES controllers.

[bluemaverick007]

this game can´t get beaten with perfect its too hard

[AmericanEvita]

I couldn't pass this game in the 80's on my old Nintendo and I can't pass it now in the year 2010 LOL

[dexterneptune]

Goddamn this game. I remember thinking of myself as a fairly competent gamer until I played this. Countless hours spent and never beat it. So f'n hard.

[Calbenmike]

This game as well as Ninja Gaiden were probably the two hardest NES games ever.

[Arrow0f5in]

Dont forget battletoads...

[Calbenmike]

Never played it, enlighten me

[Arrow0f5in]

From what i can tell Battletoads level 3 & 8 are some of the most difficult levels in VG history. It made #1 in IGN's top 10 hardest games. Go prowl youtube for videos of it. Filmnstuff did a rather humorous video of level 3 called Levels from Hell.

[reporter69692003]

@Calbenmike Ninja Gaiden was easy

[Calbenmike]

@reporter69692003 the original Ninja Gaiden is a lot of things; 'easy' isn't one of them.

[AlteredActions]

@Calbenmike There was one even harder, it was zombie nation on nes the game would kill you sometimes for no fucking reason, what a hellish nightmare to beat it.

[VileVengeance]

@AlteredActions Hardest games- Festers Quest, Bart Simpson Vs Space Mutants, Back To The Future(FUCKING Cafe pie throwing level!!) Batman 89, Home Alone, Zombie Nation, Dick Tracy... fuck Nintendo was Hard

[AlteredActions]

@VileVengeance Well, to be honest im glad i had to bust a testile or wo to beat these games, taught me something about dedication, and discipline. Main reason todays games arent that appealing or simply addictive or that fun for the matter is the difficulty. Its fairly too easy for my taste. The game's difficulty and simplicity made you have to think of ways to overcome them instead of some shit telling you how to in those magazines. Made the inner complexity a beautiful thing.

[trustobey1016]

wow, i beat this ages ago

[shineph]

Give me your skills ^^ ;). And I know why you don't want the character to die, because Billy sounds like he's going to puke when he dies ^^

[InEXII]

never made it past the first lvl in this as a kid, rented it, played for 5mins....weekend ruined.

[Cambaudio]

So true...

[marckbasketcase]

WOW Great :)

I lose all the time at this game x)

[princeofyomoma97]

i found this at a deseret indurstries here in nampa idaho and i wanted to see what this was like

[chatnoir80]

I remember playing this game as a kid. It was tough, though. The only way I could beat it was with the game genie.

[Fade9150]

ditto.

[Super0Andreu0Bros]

@chatnoir80 you cheatsy!

[yaywhewclips242]

This was a tough game, but a good one!

[mechanix1985]

i had been thinking about this game for at least more than 10 years... the only thing i could remember was the crocs.. search's over!

[SonsoftheProphets]

Was this game on the Commodore 64? Because if it was then I have also be thinking of this game for over a decade.

[mechanix1985]

SonsoftheProphets I only remember it for Nintendo..

[devmiles]

great music like all konami games .. badass game!!

[mortvia]

It's times like this that I wonder....Was the music REALLY what made these games so cherishable? I don't wanna say memorable because we wouldn't forget the difficulty, I think the music is the reason we kept them.

(Note: That's not to say gameplay wasn't good in some cases I'm just generalizing)

[badjohnfaglie]

Nail on the head, man Its all about the music from MegaMan 2 and 3, Bayou Billy, and this game called Journey 2 Silious. I learned Flashman and Sparkman on acoutic guitar, and they sound badass on it. If only I could figure out the Bayou Billy theme...

[mortvia]

Good luck! Post it and let me know when you manage it.

[Toongamer]

0:41 It's like he knows how difficult the game is going to be.

[dudeitsjoe]

0.07-0.10 ...lol

[fakeplasticball]

Was this recorded on a VCR? Rad. :D

[Drenn23]

Definately a Konami classic, I could danced to the music all day, game was really hard though, B)

[tedkamble]

the music is so badass! i remember getting my ass handed to me at this game as a kid but still brings back such good memories, especially the music

[Luigi84289]

@tedkamble Yeah this game will make a man out of you I've only gotten to the driving stages.

[bolch88bb8]

@tedkamble fuck me this game was so bloody hard...watching this guy play makes me realise how shitty i am :) great fun though...if you like game music do a search on "jungle jam" or "castlevania dwelling of doom" i am sure you will appreciate those :) The composers of the soundtracks for these games were fucking legendary man...

[stevefrommi]

I love the gators who crap out items constantly!

[Thulinassa]

This game is awesome, the music is just fantastic

[CesMan83]

Haha, can anyone else imagine a Bayou Billy movie? I could totally see Kurt Russell in the titular role

[Loader2K1]

This video game is more a less a ripoff of the Crocodile Dundee films (the Japanese box art reflects this even more), so I can't picture no one else but Paul Hogan playing the character.

[crackakillah]

Wow! You totally pwn.

[DTysonator]

Yeah, but the game owned ME over the years lol! The thing is, I never gave up and eventually took it down. You can do the same if you want, crackakillah :).

[DTysonator]

Oh and thank you for your comments!

[DaeStorm68]

Hey there I've been watching all of the speed runs and playthroughs that you guys have uploaded. I started with the Street Fighter 2010 vids you had cause I just happened to stumble onto them while searching for some speedruns. I gotta say so far I'm really impressed with DT's skill at these oldschool games. Lord knows they arent very forgiving. I just wanna give a big "Thank you!" for going to the trouble of bringing this to us folks that cant do it ourselves lol and feel free to call me Dae =P

[shincyriades]

Thanks a ton! Daniel T and I sure put a lot of work into all our respective videos and had tons of fun at the same time. Hopefully we can inspire others to do the same!

[DTysonator]

I'm glad that you appreciate these speed runs, DaeStorm68 :). Owen and I have been working together to bring videos that hopefully inspire people in positive ways.

I am sure that you could beat this game if you really wanted to. It's just a matter of putting in the time, trust me, Dae ;).

[DaeStorm68]

Oh believe me when I tell you, I've tried and tried lol This game is one of those games thats infamous for its difficulty level and about a decade and a half later I still cant get very far lol I do like trying though =P

[DTysonator]

Well, I still believe that you can do it, Dae! I used to suck at video games until I started to believe in myself.
