Were there different versions of this game? In the version I played, the player had a face and the Snake stage (between the Ghoul and Demogorgon) was missing at all difficulty levels, but it was otherwise identical to this video.

Also, did you cut the dance at the end of each stage short? I know it was longer than that (with the music cycling through twice, not once).

@zazelby

I think you confound "Forbidden Forest" with his sequel "Beyond Forbidden Forest"

And yes, I cutted the dance scene a bit. I think it`s much to long and the longplay looks a bit better now.

Awesome game! Music is great and especially his little dance after every level.

Btw, you wrote "Choplifter" instead of "Forbidden Forest" in the description.

@AMindForeverVoyaging

Thanks! I will edit the description.

[GRUBTHOR]

This game is exceptionally badass.

Wonder what a new forbidden forest would look like, i mean of course a 16bit version :3

(yes i know the C64 is 8 bit)

One more thought about the dancing; it's like a happy fanfare, a 'reward' for playing well and completing a level - modern games do not have such rewarding joyous, yet simple, satisfying, fun moments anymore. People don't dance out of joy to a fanfare when you complete a level these days.. something really fun and valuable was lost when we moved to an era where this kind of dance became extinct. And you killed half that joy from this video, derschmu(ck)...

[Gmoooba]

@DerSchmu Aren't LONGplays supposed to be LONG? (: .. joking aside, I think the dancing scene is a good comparison point as to the 'old age', when it didn't seem too long, and the 'modern age', when everyone is in constant rush with no patience for anything anymore. Ideally, a longplay should contain -all- the footage that happens when you complete a game from beginning to end. Also, it's "cut", not "cutted" and it's "too long", not "to long". "Better" is an opinion, not a fact (IMHO would help)

Bad-ass theme at end with the dragon.

[moediggity28]

Dem graphics.

[liosnel]

skyrim!

@zazelby Nope there is only one version of the game for the c64

[zazelby]

@Svenyip I meant different versions for the C64. I *know* the first time I ever played this game it didn't have the snake in it, and the main character's head was different (he had an actual face - eyes and nose - and blond hair). And since I only ever owned a C64, I know it wasn't another computer's version.

And I know it's not Beyond Forbidden Forest, since the game was otherwise 100% the same as this video. I played it dozens of times, and played BFF only once or twice.

I tried this game finally.

Seriously, one of the greatest games of all time.

That Demogorgon scares the crap out of me... actually... everything in this game does!!
