Let's Play Solar Jetman - 04 - Omebru

[GreenTengu97]

This game's aura seems to match that of Commander Keen. They don't play the same, but they seem to have the same tone and feel.

[nahnah390]

This game has made me think up the most insane Mario enemy ever to be imagined: FLYING PIRANHA PLANTS!

[Katsymint]

At 3:15 I thought for a second you were accidentally going to fly into the hidden warp place. XD

[SchlossRitter]

I'd rather be a Space Loony than be a Spaceball (maybe?).

[octagonoid]

A Dr. Who joke is still better than a Professor Hojo.

[MagikGimp]

Game really needs a walkthru, typical of the time. Great graphics though.

[AfrojacX]

And "Okey doke." :D

[AfrojacX]

xD DC said "You Betcha!".

[CrappyBlueLuigi]

@AfrojacX There is always reason to say you betcha.

[6paq71]

@CrappyBlueLuigi You betcha!

[Voltgloss]

The crystals remind me of the gems in Wizards & Warriors.

Then I realized Rare made both games. They ARE the gems from Wizards & Warriors.

[twinblademasta]

Sounds like eversion musics

[darktetsuya]

Indeed as you said 'Hey Space Loonies!' I was just thinking 'doesn't quite have the same ring to it as la-mulanites' :P

(and yeah never knew about that reference to the Doctor...)

[Plasmajoe9]

I'm not a space looney, I'm an android!!!

[ryan50ryan]

why does landing on your own ship hurt you?

[Zaxxtastic]

Solar Jetman is an American. He goes places obviously not fit for him, destroys the indigenous life, plunders all natural resources, and then leaves when there's nothing left to suck out! :D

[thecoolvideogamer]

how long is this game (like how many parts)

[PokePika01]

We'll always be your La-Mulanites, DC.

[RSCNyx]

...I don't understand. You're Solar Jetman, but every stage has had an alarming lack of sun.

Just an observation.

[LaZodiac]

Maybe it's because I am silly, but wouldn't MadamLuna be a good choice for your co commentator?

[cymonsgames]

Bill & Ted used a phone booth like that... is that possible that's what they're referencing?

[JorealConners]

Deceased Explorer Crab, stop being so fatalistic about how you're going to be dying so much later in the game. Believe in yourself! You can do it! Yeah!

[MoldyTomat0]

You say that it is worth getting 8 storage crystals to get an extra life, and yet you drop the orange crystal to your main ship without getting the extra life from it...

I assume that it means that you didn't know that if you swing the orange crystal around your ship, you get a huge amount of money and an extra life on top of it.

I know about this because I happened to read the Solar Jetman discussion board on GameFAQs.

[DeceasedCrab]

@MoldyTomat0 Nope, didn't know that. Neat trick.

[AngelusCordana]

there is a nice secret about those orange crystals... if you manage to rotate those enough times, you'll get an extra life, along with a nice amount of credits... after the extra life the crystal turns blue... just thought it's a nice piece of information to those who are not as skilled as you ;)

[shadowneko521]

Maybe Solar Jetites?

[kamikazesopp]

@shadowneko521 that sounds like it could be an STD...

[YoshiBros2333]

more like you gotta keep your "fuel"

[GenericDeadThing]

I wanna hear your rendition of the Doctor Who theme!

[FullMetalCoyote]

you been talking alot about earthbound DC are you going to do an LP in the near future

[DeceasedCrab]

@FullMetalCoyote No.

[Kenpokid4]

@FullMetalCoyote

It's too overdone for DC to do, he doesn't do the games with tons of LPs.

[heroxlegacy]

2:12 "What the heck is that?" Apparently, the space versions of the Piranha Plant from Super Mario fame, is what I'd say.

[s6laju00]

Easter Island statues... it his set upon past before mankind and the solar jetman placed the found treasures onto random nooks and corners of Earth?

[HyraxAttax]

I think Bill and Ted had some excellent adventures in a time-traveling phone booth, at least.

[masterclif]

The phone booth. A reference to Bill & Ted's?

[SuperSmashDolls]

Solar Jetman's music reminds me of Metroid II, what with it's lack of simple, identifiable melody.

[WhyEatMUFFIN]

DCs videos always cheer me up :D

[DarkLuffay]

I heard the Metroid theme soooooo many times in this.

[qwertyman42]

I always played through the first three planets. I got impatient afterwards since some of those planets are downright mazes.

[FMagl]

Holy crap, I've only just now realized I've called this game *Turbo* Jetman not once but twice. What is wrong with me?

Okay, walking off to die now.

[ninetails593]

Wouldn't it be funny if while your pod thing was landing it crushed a vital ship part?

[MegamanXfan21xx]

The planet is not trying to kill you, but it's still doing a good job of that, anyway.

[Shintaka9009]

Welcome to Colon, DC.

[jinoah17emu]

I actually really like this game now, only in my youth to find it in Nintendo Power magazines. Construct Golden Spaceship.

[FMagl]

I may or may not have Space Madness.

1:47 It's sort of like going to another country and marveling at all of the "foreigners".

5:47 I'm playing The Ur-Quan Masters, actually. Herds of murderous green space yetis, planets covered in fire. Oddly, it's probably still safer than Turbo Jetman.

7:22 Ha ha ha, what the hell!?

10:32 Aaaand now I'm thinking about Earthworm Jim 2.

[BygPhattyPlus]

If my colon was like that, I would by in tears right now.

[TheDoomBug]

So, Omebru is the planet of giant evil hedge clippers? I do not envy the space looney.

[ipsoko]

I think we can still be La-Mulanites. The Mother could have come from one of these planets.

[KonobiKun]

Can't say this is your more exciting LP, but you make it work with your commentary.

[IgnatzKolisch]

I've never heard of this game until these videos. In several ways it seems really advanced for the NES, and certainly unusual. Different gravities? Weight impetus (or whatever you call it); what other NES game did that?

I'm thinking about trying to find this game myself, but I haven't yet seen an explanation for how you complete the paperwork to acquire the mineral rights for Omebru. I mean, surely you don't just go around stealing giant gems without following the letter of the law.

[Fairtravian]

Solar Jet Man has a wicked pompadour!

[Huntershows]

Hmm, find better guests. Guests of quality. Worst planet ever!

[Antagon]

It always says "You need more fuel to leave this planet".

But did it ever stop to think there might not BE more fuel? When was it going to tell you that?!

[AlexandervonKoopa]

Welcome to YouTube. If you aren't a loonie, let alone a space loonie, you aren't qualified to leave a comment.

[JamesFrizell]

@AlexandervonKoopa then again, if you're loony enough to comment on youtube...

[NabeshinX]

Lovin' the liberal use of the word "woosh",

[Thundercross]

Maybe a hybrid between the two greetings: "Hey La MaLoonies!"

Eh? Eh?

[handsomebrick]

So in addition to not liking the profanity, you don't like your guests to be crabby?

[DeceasedCrab]

@handsomebrick The irony is not lost on me.

[mokesmoe]

Imagine carrying items back through the small passage.

[boradush]

I'm a big time Space Loony.

[pckables]

When your going exploring in space, you should bring extra fuel on your ship, not land on a random planet with low fuel and hope there is fuel hidden in the planet. These guys really are loonies.

[Jadriam]

Can't we be looney space la-mulanites?

And I have to applaud this game's variety and detail for its age. The levels don't feel like "color change means new world!". Granted they're all forms of terrible bad places, but that's the idea!

[elistonium]

I have not played this game, but I have a feeling those different color boulders affect gravity.

[Kkiller0812]

DC why are you so awesome?

[leanort1]

@Kkiller0812 cause he beat La-Mulana 3 times

[xXMrMonocleXx]

Love your work DC!

P.S. Doctor Who's ship is a police box not a phone booth. Just thought you should know.

[DeceasedCrab]

@xXMrMonocleXx Wow. You nerd.

[SALordBaxter]

@DeceasedCrab

Says the dude who records himself playing videogames for the internet. Not saying that's a bad thing or anything.

P.S Come back to SA.

[DeceasedCrab]

@SALordBaxter Not like they miss me. Doesn't matter if my video and audio quality have gone up, I upgrade those when I feel like it, not when someone else says to. But have fun though.

[SALordBaxter]

Slick moves grabbing that orange gem by the way.

[xXKirbyPwnage223]

@xXMrMonocleXx To be fair, a police box does have a phone for police.

[BurningSunBloodyMoon]

@xXMrMonocleXx Well a police box is just a telephone booth for policemen, so he's technically correct.

[BobisOnlyBob]

@BurningSunBloodyMoon But the box depicted inside the crate is a classic windowed red phonebooth, not a solid blue policebox. Also, the analysis was just "witty" commentary on a typical British diet, so not really a Dr. Who reference at all.

[Bentendowhis]

Hey DC, since you mentioned its music, what are your opinions on Earthbound?

[DeceasedCrab]

@Bentendowhis Earthbound has great music.

[Alvaris]

after mexomorph, this planet isn't so bad.

at least the gravity isn't murder.

[Jigglysaint]

Fancy Alien Items? What's next, a year's supply of good meat?

[metalfollower6]

keep up the good work man

[SaiyanGoku9]

evil spikes

[TheSkylie]

I'd tend to agree that a colon feeling like spike walls would certain qualify for a doctor's visit, and probably a fair dosage of morphine for bowel movements.

[TheHelldragon]

Hey, let's look for treasure on the MOST LETHAL PLANETS IMAGINABLE. I hear there's a shiny nickel on that planet where fists come out of craters and punch spaceships out of the sky! Let's go, a-hyuck!

[xXMrMonocleXx]

Love your work DC!

[ObsidianKnight90]

By the way, Deceased Crab, I actually OWN this game. This LP is SO freaking awesome. You are officially my hero. I mean, you were before this LP, but now even more so.
