LOOL, I had spend hours of searching to find the title of this old NES game.
I used to have it when I was about 9 years old, never understood fuck of it, but I liked the pictures ^^ lol the most far ive gotten was to beat 2-3 creatures I encountered :D
@notorioustim10 Myeah, what I hated was the fact that the game would only save 2 maps maximum so you never knew if a zoomtube was useful or just there to screw you up completly -.-. Glad I had save states to finally finish this game. Shining in the darkness was great though :/, but yeah, I like that kind of game.
this game was so epic, love the music.....someone should (if not done one) a guitar cover of the battle music.....this game was SO fun and really hard, never completed it....good job
or just the normal music when you're moving about would be good with a guitar cover too etc, lol i like it when it says "Prepare to Die!" the game looks like it crashes when its done lol, and that dragon hits for craploads!!!
Holy shit, game just goes apeshit after defeating the dragon.
I have this game for my NES console and I tried beating it but those fricking Zonetubes were annoying as shit in this game. Not because they teleported me always in to the begining of the game but because they also reseted the whole fucking map wich was really fustrating.
Not just that, the pasword system was just pure bullshit in that game. Not to mention, except for the random enemy encounters, everything looked exactly the same.
All the better reason for you to hand-draw your maps on graphing paper, especially considering that the game's automap system was pretty much broken due the game's password system.
I remember playing this game back in the day, wow. I would never figure out to have to walk through all those damn walls. I never got very far with this game. The only thing I remember is getting a sword at the tip of a sword on the map and that epic battle music...I'm not sure which fight music is better, the original Star Trek fight music or the Swords and Serpents one. And did you beat the dragon with like 2 hits?
haha but nah, it's the battle system that is weird. You only see the first part of his health. Like for example if the dragon has 500 hp, maybe you only start seeing his hp drop when he gets below 30.
so thats why they made the game so hard to beat, if someone did they run the risk of a seizure. Congrats! you defeated the dragon and got out with gold and EXP, too bad your dead from the seizure! Press Start.
I congrantulate you! This is the greatest nostalgia game for me, it took me and my friend over 5 YEARS to complete all the mapping and hint finding for this game. I still love the game though.. You ever noticed that the dragons name is Behemoth? :,D anyways, good job! Nice to have this on youtube :3
ok youtube has pissed me enough with this stupid ad thing. Everyone download adblock plus free extension for firefox and install the Easy List (USA). It will block every youtube ads.
This game is actually pretty awful, but when my friends and I get drunk and play a four player game (using the Nintendo Four Score!) it's a balls-ton of fun. Even though all you do is mash A if you're not party leader... :P
woaah, I just downloaded the rom and it's true. It's awfully slow :o. The game is already not that fast, that had to be annoying. Anyway thanks, always great to see some people who also know these littles gems.
Because the health bar is kind of weird. It shows like the 30 first hp and you can't see the rest. For example if the dragon has like 500 hp,you only start to see him lose it when he get s under 30.
Congrats on playing it all the way through. Your ending looked a lil better than mine did, maybe becuase i cheated. The dragon hits like a ton of bricks it looks like. Once again congrats.

Because the health bar is kind of weird. It shows like the 30 first hp and you can't see the rest. For example if the dragon has like 500 hp,you only start to see him lose it when he get s under 30.

How do you encounter:
the Goblin
the Mage
the Phantom
the Snake
the Axeman
and the Wizard?
I saw you were able to encounter the Skeleton, the Golem and the Dragon, these are all the beastiary characteristics I can NEVER encounter.
