[liamvg]

I don't think I ever finished this game. It was really hard for me at time- and scary !

[LinealChampion]

Classic.

[pntztz]

why do you start with 99 olives?

[HalDanGhor]

@pntztz It's more of an illusion, because I grinded the Olives before starting to record my run. Usually, when we begin the game, the hero comes is not already on the floor, but I was already on the floor. All I had to do was to make sure I'd start playing and recording when music restarts and that's how I made that illusion look as if I started with 99 Olives. ;)

[tobo86]

5.03 can't BELIEVE you got hit. Haha just kidding

[HalDanGhor]

@tobo86 Ha! Ha! Yes. That was lame to be honest. I avoided better hits, but got hit with this one! LOL :)

[tobo86]

@HalDanGhor you know there's a little part of you that's kicking yourself because it was so close to being a perfect run, but good job! You must eat live and breath this game

[HalDanGhor]

@tobo86 Ha! Ha! No, I am not eating live. Just remember that I did every 12 parts separatedly. So, I could practice each of them and make sure to do a run I was satisfied with, because I don't like being hit too much by monsters. ;)

[tobo86]

@HalDanGhor thanks for the clear up, punctuation police. If you're a fan of these sidescrollers like I am, you probably also like Zelda 2 and Faxanadu. Gold, silver and bronze order? I couldn't decide

[HalDanGhor]

@tobo86 I got my own Zelda 2 and Faxanadu runs on YouTube. Of course they are in my favorites! :)

[carrito1981]

btw... wtf did you do to this music... sounds groovier... lol

[carrito1981]

i seriously wished the bass was louder in these songs

[Elaectro]

[BeyondNeptune]

haha, i sucked at this game, but for some reason, when i was a kid, i liked watchin my friends play this game.

[Sleepingsparklegirl]

I got so frustraided with this game, cause I had no idea where to go.

[shive0694]

I remember seeing the commercials for this before it came out. I remember paying $50 for it at the K.B. toy store in the lehigh valley mall. I remember bringing it home, playing it for 10 minutes and having a horrible pit in my stomach for the next 20 years because the game is so hard and I just wanted to cry.

[Chickenator006]

Wait, the goddess athena has a beard ?

[nibelung34343]

at least this game was colser to the myths than kid icarus

[Wizzardd]

One of the best NES games for sure. i was able to beat it when i was a kid without any help but i think now it would be impossible to me xD

I was in love with greek mythology in earlys 90s due to Saint Seiya, so this game was perfect.

[heerogunkenobi]

intresting looking pretty much a mixture of zelda II and simon's quest i think this game would be a worthy auddition to the wii virtual console catalouge

[Sonic2332]

I never played this game, but it reminds me a lot of Zelda II, Faxandu, and Simon's Quest. :D I am such a sucker for these types of games, but they really are terrific! Metroid and Symphony of the Night are also great none linear side scrollers, but you're always inside a single giant Castle, or alone in a savage planet with no towns and people to encounter.

[jeskaflow]

This game had some amazing music. Really underated.

[SwaggerLikeUz]

Hey Cool one of the Greatest Games me & my friends always love to this Day! ..I Subbed feeling the Playthrough never could Beat it. Always got to the End Level but, would fall short of the Ending . Thanks for the Tips!

[xanyleon]

I suddenly just remembered this game. Probably one of the most awesome adventure games that I have played.

[kouron]

holy shit, nostalgasm, played it at the age of 6-8 or so. and because im from germany i coulden't understand anything (like many other games i played), but i love this game! did you ever considered a speedrun? because there isn't one on SDA :>

[HalDanGhor]

@kouron Never considered a speed run though. It's mainly because I don't believe in speed runs. I prefer playing at a good and normal speed, but it is not interesting to me to try to make every move almost perfect not to lose any time here and there. My main goal with games is to finish them and have fun too. ;)

[kouron]

@HalDanGhor ah thats quite sad, i think you've got the skills to do a really good job there, but nevermind, anyhow your playthrough is awesome!

[TheCrow2165]

@HalDanGhor Just One Question how did you get 99 olives so often? You pick them up after each upload or use code for them? Regardless I love this game very nostalgic and you are amazing at it :)

[HalDanGhor]

@TheCrow2165 No need for codes, really. That's not my style. Everything you see in my vids is legit. I grinded them between some of my vids, so the viewers would have a complete game in less time, not having to endure repeatable fights with "no name" monsters. Ha! Ha! If you ever see my Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest run, you'll notice that I also did the same trick between my vids, and organized the day time to be at my advantage, so I would not wait daylight to enter doors in towns. ;)

[HalDanGhor]

@TheCrow2165 Thank you very much by the way! Also, there is 2-3 good places to get Olives. I go in the Salamanders Nest, or near the fountains in Attica, or in Laconia in the lower right part. When olives become rarer, just leave town and come back. It kinda seems to increase the drops once you get back! Grinding 99 Olives is very easy and quick. If you know about Lineage 2, it can take you a few weeks to level up from level 79 to 80 if you play 5 hours a day... So, 99 Olives is nothing. ;)

[highwind8124]

Looks like Jesus at 3:28.

[Necrosaro]

FUCKING LOVED THIS GAME!

[adarg2]

I only ever rented this game, but it was one of my favorites.

[toob95]

why does Athena has a beard?!

[HalDanGhor]

@toob95 Bad design or big mystery. ;)

[molonlave2010]

@toob95 there's no beard on Athena or Artemis lol

[bunners11]

@toob95 I always though that was the hair on the other side of her head...

[RamBeuk]

For me still the best game ever in it's genre. Had hours of fun playing it.

This jewel had it all, graphics, gameplay, difficulty and especially the music.

Some of the background tracks are ringtones on my phone now nearly 20 years later.

Thanks for posting this playthrough. Brings back good memories.

[Jimmycorvettefan71]

This is awesome! I like when people just run throught the game and don't talk and ruin the soundtrack. I just wished we could have seen the intro. But still this is awesome! Nice work!

[meformain]

f uck those god d amn bat wh ores to hell

[Kawuttke77]

Holy jupin fuckin Jesus, good ol times, what an awesome game this was, though i pretty much sucked playin it. I always prefered Zelda 2 but:

Sweet memories to my childhood...

[GWLIV]

one of the best nes games

[DreamingLara]

What memories of this game!! *_*

[LordNothing]

wow! I remember playing for hours this game so many years ago! I remember the salamander skins! hehehehe cool game

[malathis0]

When I was 4 I thought this was Zelda 3. It seemed so much like Zelda 2 to me at the time.

[d77sweden]

malathis0. It looks like Zelda for a reason - it's built on the same engine, it was so expensive to develop stuff back then. Today any high school kid with a pc can do it

[Dgamer21]

@malathis0 Zelda 3? Do you mean Link to the Past? cause there never was a sequel to zelda 2. And this definitely does not look like link to the past.

[ScorpDeathknight]

got to hates when i was little, but never beat him until i later got a emulator and decided to finish what i started :)

Thanks for the memories :D

[MrInsanity1234]

zeus wont talk to me :(

[Ihaveanacount9]

Great game, My fith favorate game on the NES. and thanks, I did need help eith beating that damn snake lady thing, none of the walkthroughs I tried helped.

[momolew]

Holy crap this brings back some awesome memories! You are god for uploading this!

[knightrave21]

I've seen other people who uploaded their stuffs.. but.. you are TRULY amazing.. I give you TWO THUMBS UP.. HalDanGhor !!

[HalDanGhor]

Thank you very much!!! I am proud to see that all my work is appreciated. :)

[MeloVampire]

why do u start with 99 olives???.

[HalDanGhor]

I did soem grinding before starting to record this run. T'was to allow the viewers to only see a faster run with less time losses. ;)

[MeloVampire]

OK. I like this game, it was my birthday gift when I was a child. LOL. And I still play it on my NES. LOL

[AnixeHD]

@HalDanGhor cheater ^^

[HalDanGhor]

@AnixeHD Wrong. ;)

[AnixeHD]

@HalDanGhor war doch nur spaß ^^ das spiel war sogar eines meiner ersten NES games :D der urvater von god of war sozusagen ^^ aber sehr cooles game :D

[bosoxdnelly]

I don't remember a single thing about this game except borrowing from a friend when I was like 9 and loving it...then I gave it back to him and I moved to a new state and never thought about it again...it's awesome to relive it haha

[kukenbajs]

SSSHHHHHHIIIIITTT!!!

[diamonddust22]

My uncle is 63 and he loved this game so much. He still plays to this day and loves gaming.

[meowmix669]

Zeus is the phantom of the opera?

[rola64]

its a great game, similar to zelda

[zmanoside]

What a great game. And hard!!!

[Nightwish0r1987]

how the hell did you get those 99 olives?

[HalDanGhor]

I fought before beginning to record this run. I got 99 Olives and 20 Salamander Skins in order to save time for the viewers to enjoy more my non-stop action. ;)

[Nightwish0r1987]

ah I see... well done ^^

[Pj0tter]

One time I did that as well and my sister, little as she was, put a knife in our electric toaster which caust a short circuit shutting all the power down in our house including the NES I was playing before I saved my 99 olives haha. Boy was I an angry kid back then. My sister got a shock but she was all right :).

[joshwiiwii]

I just bought this on Ebay in near mint for 6$....oddly i've never played it, but heard from a couple folks it's an disregarded gem for the fact it looks a little like a zelda rip-off.

so i got this, & clash at demonhead...

[CruxisFire]

I grew up on this game. I wish my bro didn't sell my NES and all of our games in 99. From the music to the gameplay, I miss the hell out of this.

[PkmMovies]

get a nds by m3 real and downlode emulator then you can play ^^

[HunterWillie]

I'm thinking about getting this for my emulator...but is it worth getting?

[HalDanGhor]

Sure! It's a wonderful game!!!! :)

[mitkei]

this game... brings many memories.

Nostalgia

[CesMan83]

Really cool job you did here HalDan...I've always liked this game, kinda reminded me of the movie "Clash of the Titans," lol

[LuigianoMariano]

1:44

LOL you were moonwalking on the stairs.

It's kinda surprising because this is the second known game, next to Super Castlevania 4, where you can do that trick.

[JokersSerious]

... and since you're one of those peeps that can show good quality playthroughs without flapping your gums, it's good -

although you're obviously using cheat codes.

[HalDanGhor]

I don't use any cheat code. You can believe me. ;)

[JokersSerious]

dude, you're maxed out on olives at the onset of the game, and twice more upon entering a new township.

That's basically the reason alot of people could never complete it - cuz it doesn't happen.

[HalDanGhor]

That's only because they didn't have the patience to get them. It's really easy to get 99. BUT: There is a trick for this one! I just discovered it with luck! I usually get my Olives in Attica, near the fountain that restores our HP, usinf the Staff of Fenneland its Fire Magic. As soon as I get 60-70 Olives, at the point they bocome very rare, I just leave the town and come back, and they will drop at an excellent rate! It's real fast and really easy! I cut the grinding, and people love it! ;)

[HalDanGhor]

And, please, don't be fooled. I looked like in the first video, as if I just started the game, but the truth is that I grinded to get my Olives AND Salamander Skins before starting to record (like if I was really beginning a new game and when the music begins again) the run! And, if you knew more about the game, you would notice that at the very beginning of a game, that the Hero is falling on the ground, which was not the case for this one. ;)

[HunterWillie]

I'm thinking about getting this for my emulator...but is it worth getting?

[JokersSerious]

i used to play this all the time when i was a kid... i tried it twice on an emulator yesterday and today, and still remember exactly what to do, but by the time i reach pythia and need 70 olives for the damn sword, i get frustrated cuz it's too fu**in hard to save up and NOT die and lose HALF your damn olives before getting there.

Since i was only able to beat this game once in my life, i figured i'd just see a playthrough...

[HalDanGhor]

Another thing. If you keep dying often when getting Olives... You just have to go see a God and talk to him to somehow "save" your (for exemple) 50 olives . So, if you die with 60 Olives, just use "Retry". So, instead of starting back with (60/2) 30 Olives, you'll start with your previous "saved! 50 olives! I used this strategy when I was younger because I had difficulties getting the Sword in Phthia without dying... So, I was able to use "Retry" and start back with all my Olives! ;)

[Something814]

Bravissimo!!!!uno dei miei giochi preferiti!!

[rat4cooler]

Used my uber knowledge of BoO greece to impress my greek ex-girlfriend (she's a ditz!) Yay for Lamia and her pixellated bewbiez!!

[djfakt]

Thank you for posting this...And thanks for just playing the damn game without one of those damn tool-assist programs; that shit is weak.

I mean, I don't want to watch someone who is incompetent but I don't like watching some doctored shit either.

[HalDanGhor]

Thank you very much! I really did my best for this run! ;)

[djfakt]

Oh, man...CLASSIC game. Also, CLASSIC video game music. The composer obviously had some classical training. And is shows...

Man, this game definitely had a weird vibe. I LOVED it! HARD too...The last boss is hella fresh.

[sharkbate625]

this was the only nes game that i manage to complete

[ToEjaMxD]

why do you have 99 red fuckballs? do I need that much? I´m now in Laconia with only the standard health bar and about 20 red balls loL.. omg this sucks

[shiningkingghidora]

Ine only tip I have is to be careful.

[maxdooom]

Battle of Olympus was a great game at its time. What sticks in my mind after all these years since playing it, is the great music!:)

[squeezelifeDOTca]

How do you record video like this off your computer?

[HalDanGhor]

I use a recording emulator. Mine is "Fceu rerecorder". ;)

[squeezelifeDOTca]

One of my all time favourite games, LOved it!

[Jeromesaje]

I so remember this game, I still have it but I haven't completed it... Because it's to damn difficult! XD

[molonlave2010]

I dedicate this video game to my home country of Greece. I love the game desigers for what they have done. Thank you Nintendo!

[scir91]

greece is beautiful :)

and so are the girls! :)

[wtcvidman]

I never knew this game existed. The towns look similar to the ones in Zelda II. Very nice.

[godscuttingyoudown]

the game actually had better graphics and controls however it did not feature and overview play like Zelda 2 and felt more like simon's quest with its confusion of not knowing where to go sometimes

[xtronzzzzz]

fuck'n right i remember this game

[scir91]

i had this game as a kid. it was VERY HARD. you get very little clues on what to do. the enemies are hard. the gameplay is a little loose with its mechanics. i did beat it but couldn't understand the ending. i had no idea what the story was about.

[shiningkingghidora]

It's based on the myth of Orpheus.

[gaarax9]

2nd comment

[HalDanGhor]

LOL Congratulations! :)

[Sye909]

another on of my favorite play it through...ers

is also covering this game right now,

its cool that you're doing it both at the same time, as this is one of my all time favorite 8 bit games

[HalDanGhor]

Yeah, this one is still great! I'll do it my own way. I don't like taking hits, but I also want to be as efficient as I can be. That's how I wanna do it! ;)
