KickMaster (NES) Playthrough
A playthrough of Taito's 1992 action game for the NES, KickMaster.
This video shows all three loops of the game for the best ending. Loop 2 begins at 36:07, and Loop 3 begins at 1:13:17.
The wizard Belzed has invaded the kingdom of Lowrel, killed its king and queen, kidnapped its princess, and wiped out its military force. Thonolan, a "kick master," is the sole surviving knight, and it's up to him to defeat Belzed, rescue Princess Silphee, and ensure that she takes her rightful place as the ruler of Lowrel.
KickMaster is a platforming action game that incorporates elements of the beat 'em up and RPG genres. Thonolan's kicking skills will be put to the test as he fights his way through seven monster-infested areas on his way to Belzed's tower. At the start he only knows three moves - a high kick, a leg sweep, and an overhead kick - but as he defeats enemies, gathers experience, and levels up, Thonolan will gain access to a wide range of flashy attacks that would leave even Chuck Norris slackjawed with envy.
But Thonolan is more than just a teal pretty boy with restless legs. He's also an accomplished magician who will learn several useful magic spells over the course of the adventure, including the ability to heal, fly, summon decoys, create energy shields, stop time, and blitz the screen with lightning bolts.
The controls are smooth and the gameplay is fluid, and the variety of moves and spells give you a ton of options in tackling any situation. Thonolan's hit box can feel a bit inconsistent - certain moves leave him open to damage at seemingly random times - but it's not too much of a problem since you can heal at any time so long as you have enough MP in store, and the game isn't particularly difficult, even on the third loop when every enemy becomes a damage sponge.
As you might expect from a game made by KID (who also created Isolated Warrior, Recca, and the GI Joe games), the graphics and sound are top-notch by NES standards. Thonolan's moves are slickly animated, the backgrounds and Castlevania-style bosses sport a ton of detail, and the sample-heavy music is largely excellent throughout.
As dumb as the "guy saves kingdom by kicking everything into oblivion" setup sounds, KickMaster is a great action game backed by an impressively accomplished presentation, and it's well worth checking out.

The atmosphere, the awesome art, the soundtrack, the story - Snatcher raised the bar in many ways with this remake of the original...

A playthrough of Virgin's 1993 NES game, Color a Dinosaur. Color a Dinosaur's box loudly makes the claim that "this kind of fun won't go extinct!" As disheartening as it is to admit, that's not entirely untrue. It's a grossly misleading statement, but it stands to reason that something that never actually existed - in this case, the capacity to provide "fun" - can not cease to exist. It's not a...

    I remember borrowing this game from my class mate when I was 8 years old back in -96. Didn't remember the name of the game anymore so I had to do some digging to finally find this piece. I had myself Wrestlemania and in it you couldn't exit the ring or anything else in that matter. But this Pro Wrestling seemed to have it all in those days. The ringside was open and the gym option was an awesome never seen before detail for me which has been my strongest memory about this game. I think now once I found this forgotten jewl I won't forget the name ever again 🤩

    An improvement over the first DD, though again I'd rather play the NES. PC Engine CD, and arcade versions over this one. The sounds and music, outside of defeated enemies "puking" on the ground, are much easier on the ears than the first DD on this console.

  • @Bloodreign1
    @Bloodreign1 День тому

    Bad sounding music due to the GEMS soundfont, speed that is far too fast to allow you to attack effectively, I'll stick with the NES and arcade versions. Enemies have this issue where they mirror every move you make, surrounding you in seconds, allowing you no breathing room, and no strategies other than, USE THE ELBOW MOVE to survive. The sound really grates on the ears, a custom sound driver, like the one used in DD 2 should've been used here. But nope, western developers relied on ol' GEMS, which can turn a soundtrack nasty (in a bad way) in no time.
