Because all he does is play like the same 10 games over and over. I don't get why people are so amazed about things without the actual context. That's like being amazed a nuclear scientist made the nuclear power plant. Well ya, he's been doing it forever and it's his job...
When I was 10 this game turned me into an NES Controller durability tester. I learned that the controllers can withstand tremendous impact while being swung violently by their cords and smacking the floor with them 'em.
As a retro gamer who loves that speed running keeps a lot of old titles relevant, I love every Arcus does. Further, I want to share this hobby with my kids and I LOVE that I can count on Arcus to not make jokes or use language that requires me to tell them not to repeat that. Thank you for what you do here.
That music gives me PTSD…. We had this game when we got an NES on Christmas morning and …. Well most of you already know. Thank goodness we got Kid Icarus and Zelda shortly after.
Glorious Arcus, glorious! Congrats on the huge PB and the deathless Ghosts and Goblins run. Stuff like this shows why you are the greatest All-Around NES Player active today
To everyone here in the comments. We are a family. Period. A community of people who share the love of video games, the memory of great video games, and a commraderie that is a bond that makes us transcend what it means to be a human being. In other words, live long and prosper!
Wow, super impressive. Mind blown by accepting and keeping the flame. Much respect for the amount of time it takes to make even the hardest games into something laughable.
This is one of the rare games that is incredibly frustratingly difficult and very few people can beat, but yet a fun and classic game. Battletoads is another one that comes to mind.
Back in the day, it took me two years to beat this game, and I was only able to beat it once. I played it recently, and I can't even finish the first stage. Same with Adventure Island. Games we're so hard back then 😉.
The fact that this dude who is a professional speed runner still had issues playing through this tells you all you need to know about how difficult this freaking game was. The creators made that last level just to drive us insane. Thank God for the glitches
The "sad part" about this game, is how many kids that got this game to their NES, and didnt understand that it was a hardcore game beyond anything else. Such a waste of money for most people, getting this game where most people cant even finish the first level.
Anyone else watch this with awe...and a bit of anger? Like, bro...this game made me want to stop playing video games altogether! YEARS of my life...and he just rolled through it like it was nothin. LMAO...crazy.
In this old days on a very very lucky day, you would run into someone like this in the arcade, and there will be a big crowd behind him watching. First time I see someone getting to Stage 2. 😂
I hated this game as a kid, yet I kept playing it. It was one of those games that the developers made way too hard, especially for us little kids in the 80s.
I've fond memories of this in the arcade but man it's balls hard! Any young folk out there who have never played this it makes dark souls look like Micky mouse
I don't know if anyone has asked this, but is that by chance an NES Advantage you play with? I feel like I'd recognize the sound of those action buttons anywhere...
Damn nice, I wouldn't be able to do that. I wonder how the original NES version holds up, I've only ever played Super GnG and that was a heck of a time.
