Just found this video and I played this game when I was a kid. I just noticed something- the fat shirtless pirate looks like Carl from ATHF. “Hey there, swashbuckler man. Get out of my frickin’ pool!”
Just discovered this because of a GDC talk Karateka and it's kind of wild to see. Feel like I finally found another part of Nidhogg's inspiration. The name is a bit funny though... he's got no buckler to swash.
Well this game is unreasonably easy when you have 99 hours instead of the standard 24. Normally you could afford maybe three or four deaths for the entire game.
There has probably never been an action game as exciting or as interesting as SWASHBUCKLER ... or with such terrific HI-RES graphic animation. It's terrific fun to play at every level . . . and takes quick reactions and strategy to overcome the pirate scum of the 7 seas! Good luck . . . and watch your back!
bruh the problem is that there are five passes and only one is right and they shoot you if you guess wrong twice. Not to mention this is literally one of the first stealth games ever made lol what are you expecting? This game actually has considerably more depth than the original though as once you got a disguise in that game nobody would attack you ever unless an ss soldier spawned randomly which was pure rng but in this game you have to manage money and bullets at all times to try and assess whether you want to bribe your way through a room or start shooting as well as a ticking bomb to make you be as efficient as possible. There is also a knife for silent kills and you're able to drag bodies to hide them which makes it so you can do a lot more stealthy of a playthough than this which is needed as this is the easiest mode
0:12 It's a shame the mouse is not captured, because I would have loved to see how you manage to take the key from the ground and clic on the keyhole in, what, 1 frame? 0:18 We must not have played the same game, because in the Dungeon Master I played, you could not take an object that is not on your tile or on an adjacent tile.
I tried playing this at my friend Raffi Mermerians house in Burbank, CA back when we were like 13 around 1986 on his green screen Apple ][e. It's so funny because, the time that I tried playing it, I just went right to the plane. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't allowed to go into the cockpit. I just ran back and forth as far as I could go... I never actually played the game. It wasn't til now that I found out that you have to go to the briefing first. LOL! Thanks RU-vid!
i use to be able to get up to the dooms day machine but i didn't have the code book to know which switches to press and thats IF i didnt run out of time!
@@GTFORDMAN Not that anyone would know without the decoder, but the doomsday code is the 4-digit binary number of the alphabet letter you receive. So, A = 0001, B = 0010, C = 0011, etc.
