I have fond memories of my brother and I playing this at the pool every Summer. Although as kids we really stuck (especially now when you look at how simple the really is) because rarely did we ever make it past the second stage and if we did we never made it far into stage 3
Man I'd give anything to play this game again! Ok, not anything. Actually I wouldn't give anything but I'd really like to play it again. (maybe a couple bucks) Takes me back to the 80's...it was RAD!
Oh MAN I have been trying to remember what this game is called and find it for YEARS!! I used to play this when i was in 2nd grade at a burger joint my dad would take me to. Brings me WAY back, thanks for the LP :)
Loved playing this in the arcade, but everytime I got to the part in the 2nd level about 9:03 into this video where you jump down and have to break the floor to go to the bottom level, the arcade game would suddenly stop and the title screen would appear. At that point you would have to start over.
This would only happen if I didn't break that floor immedianly. If I stayed on the upper floor, the game would crash. Anyone else have that trouble?
i love the epic castle music, wish they had more platformers like this in the arcades, nowadays its just racing shooting or dancing games for the most part
I remember playing this in downtown Los Angeles.... man it was such a great game for its day. Does anyone know if this was released in a compilation (any console)? I suppose I'll just have to get the rom.
@yournotjohn CooI, found it on amazon.... there are actually a lot of other good games in the compilation as well. Thanks for the info! I didn't know about this one.
You are not allowed to use continues if you run out of lives at any point in Round 6; I guess that's why the final boss is not as difficult to beat as you'd expect.
LOL"You are a brave warrior to have cleared such a difficult level! " sounds like : " damn ! i dont thought that u pass this stage. Now ur ass get kicked to ur dead , ur fucking noob!!!! " i think they made it so hard because they want only the money of the kids to get easy money. But ScHlAuChi kicked the game right in the balls and beat it without problems! =D Hail ScHlAuChi !!! ^^
Taito at their best in the mid-to-late '80s. I remember being in a junior bowling league and seeing this game tucked in the corner of the building...it got a lot of action. I'm terrible at it -- I have trouble finishing one area, never mind one stage, but it's playable, challenging, and oh yeah, the music is pretty good, too.
This game is also on the first Taito Legends collection, a disc I still have. Watching this makes me want to fire it up right now.
Funny, I was just playing this on the Master System yesterday. Not a very good conversion. See you've got that, too. I've also played the C64 version although that is glitchy and just impossible to get through.
ScHIAuChi must be a genius for getting through this without a scratch!
I tried it on the MAME emulator a while back and only completed it after getting killed about a hundred times LOL
You only have limited continues, too, so you can't afford to die too much.
@cubex55 Re-Recording or not, Dude knows that game VERY well. Dont matter if its flawless or know. He can do it on 1 coin and thats it. Great vid, mucharespect!
@wandererlain Actually, you have unlimited continues on stages 1-5. There are NO continues on stage 6 -- you must finish on one quarter or it's game over.
One reason why, if you were not a good player back then, it was wise to deliberately kill yourself off facing the boss on stage 5, so you could start stage 6 with full lives.
The money I spent on this game back in the day! Awesome memories!
