Treasure Mountain Gameplay

[SpokaneGirl85]

I remember this game when I was a kid.

[Shortmandesigner]

@SpokaneGirl85 You might like a lot of the other videos I have on my channel as well. :)

[PuddingAtheist]

This is honestly one of the greatest games I have ever played. I might have an aneurysm from the amount of nostalgia.

[Shortmandesigner]

@PuddingAtheist Oh, I know how you feel. :)

Thanks for watching!

[Fuzzyfoot88]

If there is any way you could somehow grab the music to the main menu and put it up, I have been trying to find a file for it.

[Yceb0x]

@ArchFatalis Same here (only not this version specifically). I could only remember one sentence from the narrator in the beginning of the game. Two words that stuck out lead me to this game: super seeker. I had no idea the amount of cheesiness (and fun) I had in my childhood. Ah the memories.

[Person106]

Wasn't the protagonist of this game featured in at least one other game? I (think I) vaguely remember playing such a game one day over fifteen years ago.

[Shortmandesigner]

@Person106 Oh, he is in plenty of games. This game, along with several others, are made by The Learning Company. Some of the other titles include Treasure Mathstorm, Out Numbered, Midnight Rescue, and Ancient Empires.

[edallinxtrm]

@Person106 TREASURE COVE!

[mcpeanutful]

Can somebody please upload a video of what happens if somebody falls into the hole in the back of the cave at 7:10?

[Shortmandesigner]

@mcpeanutful All that really happens is he falls down a hole into the passage on the previous part of the mountain.

[mcpeanutful]

@Shortmandesigner What is the significance of the cave at 7:10 with a hole in the back that leads to the passage on the previous part of the mountain?

[Shortmandesigner]

@mcpeanutful Probably just a gimmick thing or something.

[FancyFox3]

I know the music for the part with all the ladders is Bach's harpsichord concerto in D minor, movement 1, does anyone know if the game's theme is also a real piece? I remember hearing the piece out of the game for the first time, it blew my mind!!

[Shortmandesigner]

@FancyFox3 I'm almost 100% certain that every song used in games from this series comes from some musical piece like that. I wouldn't know the names of any though, aside from the one you just mentioned of course :P.

[FancyFox3]

@ArchFatalis I know that feeling!! I was trying to remember Stellar 7 for the longest time until recently.

[chattychar]

i remember playing this on my dad's green and black computer monitor before we got the color one. and then one day my dad brought home our first color computer and i remember playing this and thinking wow, this was what it should REALLY look like!

[Shortmandesigner]

@chattychar Green and black computers.... man, I remember those things still. The computer lab at my elementary school had those for a few years until we finally got colour computers.

[JamesterCD]

Wow, this used to be my favorite game of all time....I played it nonstop when I was a kid! Was just thinking about it today; thanks for uploading the video, it brings back some great memories!

[Shortmandesigner]

@JamesterCD This was one of my favourites when I was a little kid too.

Thanks for watching! :)

[heymrk]

When I was growing up, my dad was a Ph.D. candidate. Because all of his time was spent in a science lab, he couldn't afford a sitter for me. So I was with him in the lab. He took an old computer out of a closet and set it up in the lab. I played the shit out of this for weeks. I finally beat it. Now it kind of creeps me out.

[Shortmandesigner]

@heymrk Hmm, not sure how this game is creepy, but to each his own I guess. :) Thanks for watching though.

[theblitz8]

Like if you remember playing this while drinking juice.

[Shortmandesigner]

@theblitz8 Translaton of this comment: I need attention! I must have more attention! Give me MORE! Give me JUICE! Like me! I need to be liked!

[theblitz8]

@Shortmandesigner

cant tell if trolling orj ust a FAG

[Shortmandesigner]

@theblitz8 What are you talking about? You were the one asking to be liked. :P And if you couldn't tell, 5 other people agree with me anyway. :3

[theblitz8]

@Shortmandesigner you probably just have 5 other accounts you small penis bastard

[Shortmandesigner]

@theblitz8 Well... someone isn't paying attention, the number beside my first reply clearly says 9. But you only claim that I have 5. Are you admitting that other people have in fact agreed with me? :3

[theblitz8]

@Shortmandesigner A like doesn't imply agreeing.

[Shortmandesigner]

@theblitz8 That's funny... because I thought you commented earlier that I must have 5 other accounts. So, if what you just said was true, you shouldn't be bothered about that possibility afterall then. :P

And secondly, if a like doesn't imply agreement, by that logic it implies disagreement. Why would someone like a comment that they disagree with? :3

[yulio3000]

@theblitz8 i do lol

[gothicslytherinchic]

This was my favorite favorite game. I was in 2nd grade when it first came out. It was my first computer game. BRING BACK MORE GAMES LIKE THIS!

[Shortmandesigner]

@gothicslytherinchic I can't remember what the very first computer game I ever played was, but this was definitely one of the first games.

[Shortmandesigner]

@ventures58 Lol, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. :)

[Rennonz]

This is my childhood, right here in this video.

Memories.

[Shortmandesigner]

@Rennonz Ya, I played this along with a lot of other games as a kid too. :)

[rosekennedy]

omg.. you just made my entire life. this was the first computer game i ever played. and boy, did i play it. thank you!!

[Shortmandesigner]

@rosekennedy Lol, no problem. :) Glad I could help you bring back some memories.

[randir14]

I used to play this game all the time. My friend and I discovered a secret area in one of the caves that let you get a ton of gold.

[Shortmandesigner]

@randir14 Oh dang it, I forgot to show that. Thanks for the reminder... maybe I'll do another gameplay video of this game or something later on, and I'll show that then.

[elevatorgeek762]

@randir14 : Where can you find the secret area?

[randir14]

@elevatorgeek762

I don't remember...that was 20 years ago. All I remember is you go in one of the caves and you have to press the up arrow at some random spot.

[xYewtubeAccountx]

Last time I played this game was probably way back in 1995. The music is exactly how I remembered it but it sounds dated now.

[Shortmandesigner]

@xYewtubeAccountx Ya, I know what you mean.

[xTorrent]

@ArchFatalis ME TOO HOLY SHIT

[Shortmandesigner]

@ArchFatalis I'm glad I could help then. :)

[KBAFourthtime]

That was a really good game.

[Shortmandesigner]

@KBAFourthtime It sure is. :)

[fgtib]

Goooood times...

[Shortmandesigner]

@fgtib Yep, definitely. :)

[kalabe20]

I really want to play this game but can't figure out how to make it work. I downloaded it and dosbox but I really have no idea what i'm doing!! Please point me in the right direction! :)

[Shortmandesigner]

@kalabe20 I would do a video, but there's one already that does the best job possible.

/watch?v=rqFQu4ueC8s

Let me know if you have any other trouble.

[gothicslytherinchic]

omg this was like my favorite game when i was a kid

[Shortmandesigner]

@gothicslytherinchic Ya, I still find it to be a fun game today.

[DuchessAliana]

Thanks to your info about the DosBox, I was able to download this and finally, after over a decade, fulfill my childhood dream of completing and winning the game :) :P I'm now going to go look for Midnight Rescue :D

[Shortmandesigner]

@DuchessAliana Glad I could help! You're more than welcome to ask me again if you have any other questions.

[FunSunGrl]

This was a great game, but it won't work on my windows 7 computer :(

[Shortmandesigner]

@FunSunGrl Try running it through DosBox, it's a free emulator where you can run virtually any DOS game.

[FunSunGrl]

@Shortmandesigner I just might :) thanks!

[Shortmandesigner]

@FunSunGrl No problem, glad I could help. :) If you need help learning how to use DosBox, PM me or look up tutorials for it that are on YouTube already.

[stupidvideoguys]

it was a fun and challenging game wen i was a kid

[Shortmandesigner]

@stupidvideoguys Ya, for sure. I played too many DOS games when I was a kid to have a favourite, but this is definitely one of the games I enjoyed the most.

[Shortmandesigner]

@alandaog I haven't played Treasure Planet I don't think, but I have played Treasure Cove. Midnight Rescue is the one you're thinking of. :P (And yes, a video of it is also on my channel)

[Shortmandesigner]

@alandaog You could always play this through DosBox. I use that for all the DOS games that I play and I have well over 100 DOS games on my hard drive.

[Shortmandesigner]

@alandaog Ya, the music can have that effect on someone I suppose :P

[ItsEmmalicious]

this & where in time is carmen san diego were my favouritest games ever when i was like 7!

[Shortmandesigner]

@ItsEmmalicious I have too many to name that I really liked when I was a kid.

[pastdweller]

And doesn't the Master of Mischief try to knock you off the ladder as you move up in rank?

[Shortmandesigner]

@pastdweller Ya he does at a later rank.

[DanniDelirious]

OMGOSH. is this what I was playing? this was the most amazing thing of my childhood..

[Shortmandesigner]

@DanniDelirious This was one of my favourite games when I was a kid too.

Thanks for watching! :)

[mitchel3939]

@DanniDelirious

Ahh same dude, brings back memories, ahah.

[americanidol434]

OMG. I KNEW HOW THE PLAY THIS GAME BY HEART!!

[Shortmandesigner]

@americanidol434 Ya, I would play this game a lot when I was a kid as well. :D

Thanks for watching! :)

[pastdweller]

Don't those bridges start to decompose as the game goes on?

[Shortmandesigner]

@pastdweller Ya, I can't remember at which rank they start to do that, but they do indeed break if you step on them at a certain rank.

[bamapagedesign]

Back in the day, I didn't have a computer. But my dad was a PhD student at Ole Miss, and I played this game on his lab computer. Sometimes he'd be there until well after midnight working, so I'd be playing this game. It took me FOREVER to beat.

[Lensflare777]

thanks shortmandesigner!

[Lensflare777]

I know this is a classical song- but what's it called again?

[boss02126]

Good times :). remembered the song in the beginnning...played this game as a kid..Couldn't he just have asked those happy go lucky skipping elves for the scrolls instead?

[Shortmandesigner]

@boss02126 I suppose he could have, but where would the fun be in that? :P

[TheBlackChrisJericho]

This brought back a lot of memories.

[lyricalstyles]

omfg! this game was the shit back in the day....i used to play it everyday after school when i was like 8...im 21 now i miss this game dude damn

[Shortmandesigner]

@lyricalstyles You could always download it for old times sake if you wanted to. DosBox is free to download, as well as this game and many others.

[lyricalstyles]

@Shortmandesigner flippin sweet dude! where can i download it at?

[Shortmandesigner]

@lyricalstyles Google is your friend :P

But seriously, simply do a search for DosBox and choose the first link.

Same for the game, simply do a search and choose the 4th option to get the download. Abandonia would be a good place to get games.

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Wow, these are pretty good graphics for 1990! Looks better than Commander Keen in some ways!

[Shortmandesigner]

@ThrilloVanHouten Now that you mention it, I suppose that's true. Doesn't beat the music from the Goodbye Galaxy series though. :P

[nairda55555]

i do beleive the piece that plays at 7:22 is Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in D Minor

[kuzmaniac05]

anyone know the name of that tune in the background?

[ObliterationStation]

My guess is "Invention in the key of G minor"

[pdabbagh]

@kuzmaniac05 It's Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's "Solfeggietto".

[Shortmandesigner]

@pdabbagh

Thanks for the clarification. I've always wanted to know myself what song it was, but I couldn't find it until you told me.

[pdabbagh]

No problem! For the longest time I was trying to look for it when I stumbled on the page for the game on Wikipedia and it was right there. Nice to know it's good for some things!

[KBAFourthtime]

I loved this game when I was a third grader.

[insanity54]

OH... MY... GOD... I simply must have this game! I didn't remember it by the title, but seeing you play it made me remember this game! I used to play this!!!!

[PkGam]

Yep, sure enough the HQ button is here!

Do you remember HOW this was uploaded? Like, exactly what you did?

Because if you want to keep your HQ, you best do it that same way, lol!

[Shortmandesigner]

All I know is, I uploaded this right away after I had finished recording. It might just very well have to do with the resolution of the video. This video is in the avi format, the Blockout video is the other HQ video I created with DosBox, so I don't know if it has to do with the resolution of the game, or that the other avi videos touched WMM, and possibly WMM added some code or something... *shrugs* more videos in the future will reveal what is going on.

[PkGam]

Hmmm my videos are ".avi" videos too. Maybe the format has something to do with it also. I mean, I know resolution has something to do with it. But file types may matter also. avi files tend to be bigger then other files, so file size may be it too.
