It's hardly flawed, as there are only few programming errors that don't interfere with the game. One such flaw is the corner error where you can't grab bones in wall/ceiling corners in the track and field javelin costume. Other than that, I don't know of any other actual flaws the game has. Can you let us know what all flaws you think there are? It's an awesome game, it's developed by rare and David wise composed all the music for it, and he is awesome. It's my favorite NES game.
People said this is a bad game, but, if you figure out the cryptic nature of the game, is one of the best of LJN and it's awesome to play with friends. Boo, Haunted House.
Here's a tip. You don't need to go out of the way to get every dream token you see. Once you've gotten the athlete, ninja, and wizard tokens for the first time, you have them forever.
@Mike Matei there was someone on youtube who beat the boss with the power glove. I've beaten a number of games with it. Someone recently legit beat super mario bros 3 with it. Give it a shot with this game, no fucking excuses.
So I often leave Mike's live streams playing in the background while I'm working, cleaning, etc. And sometimes randomly Mike shouts FUCK YOU like at 29:33. Helps keep things interesting.
Mike - The game DOES refill your health after each level. Essentially it's four hits and then you die, but it resets the counter in addition to giving you that 1up when you get the key. Also, I love when you channeled TMNT movie raphael at 45:32 XD
The hand fight is from Nightmare 4; when Alice’s brother, who’s shown a as a martial artist, fights an invisible Freddy in an dojo; the glove flies on its own to kill him, hence fighting a glove in a Kung fu gee. Could also be vaguely referencing the second movie...since it’s the only movie with a male lead
There are programming errors, you can't get bones in corners with the track star costume due to the hitbox collision, you have to be in normal mode or use a different costume like wizard or ninja.
With the screaming and him living in an apartment it reminds me of that story that Nick Swardson told about how his neighbor thought that he was shooting gay porn because of all the screaming, profanity and banging around
Yeah, they REALLY had not yet come to terms even in the late '80s with the fact that these weren't coin-op games and nobody was making more money by making the games so tremendously difficult that you had to pump an endless number of quarters into them to even have a hope of beating them.
RUclips algorithm recommended me the 12 year old AVGN Nightmare on Elm Street video, a channel I'm subbed to posted a reaction to the AVGN Nightmare on Elm Street video, and now Mike uploads this...
Hey 10 Inch. Lately, Ive really been appreciating your streams. Love your comments and reviews, and I could not agree more with your overall assessment of Conta: Rogue Corps, excellent stuff, Mike.
One of the gems I didn't really play during childhood that I discovered when I started collecting ~5 years ago, it's really a great game and realizing this is made by RARE makes a lot of sense to me. I play this once at least every October. Thank you Mike for completing so many NES games, also the fact that your skill level is as good as mine helps a lot, I just cringe when people plays poorly so I enjoy watching your streams. Keep up the good work.
Glad to see you play this. Under appreciated game. Remember playing this almost 30 years ago. Where did the time go? Really good soundtrack, it really sets the tone of the game. I'd like to see you play Guardian Legend or Gun Nac.
The movie would always have a primary antagonist, but funny how the movie adapted game would always have these random obscure enemies. Gotta love the 8-bit generation!
It’s not a bad game. There are far shittier movie based games than this one. It does get a little monotonous but I remember thinking it was kind of cool being able to beat Freddy when I was a kid.
Lord help me, I'll try to finally watch one of these movies now that I'm in my mid thirties lol. I picked this game up last year. Should do a bit a playthrough myself! Yeah, get a four-player round going when you can! It would be hilarious to say the least! Thanks again Mike!
Very tough game, have managed to have beaten it once many moons ago. But congrats Mike, very clutch in beating it with the last life left. Was nervous for you bro. This along with Friday the 13th are both very difficult games to beat.
Robert Weatherford Friday the 13th is way harder imo. But you can find a good strategy guide online now to make it a bit easier. Like getting the pitchfork and Jason moms sweater. But fighting Jason the third time is insane. He moves so fast.
James C Totally agree the 3rd day is very crazy and usually will try to fight him on the trails on the 3rd day. Won't fair too well against him in the cabins on the last day.
Robert Weatherford Holy crapballs! I didn’t know you could fight him to the death on the trails! Lol looks like it’s time to revisit Friday the 13th. Thanks for the tip!
@@jamesc8259 Yes it's a good strategy to use IMO because Jason is so irratic day 3 in the cabins. Make sure you have the torch or the pitch fork and some back up energy and try to also make sure the children are all alive beginning day 3 and slam Jason every chance you get on the trails and when he runs away keep following him and you can usually rebattle him multiple times. Know it sounds bad but I usually won't save the kids on last because it's bedlam in the cabins and want to not die myself lol.
Robert Weatherford Lol yeah screw the kids on the last day. It’s all about beating Jason that day. He’s tougher than Mike Tyson the third time. There are 3 distinct patterns Jason runs around the trails, I guess if you figure out which one he would be easy to find and fight on the trails. Thanks so much for the tips!
@@justintahair9119 That seems to be one of the biggest complaints against Simon's Quest. But I agree with you, exploring it is fun and it has the best music of any of the three games on NES in my opinion. 😁
Out of all the LJN games, I actually think this is pretty good.. their best despite the flaws. Are you going to do a Mike and Matt plays video for this one by chance? That Id like to see :)
The whole game is a dream if you ask me. The punching and killing GIANT MICE,knives shooting out the walls,giant spiders and levitating platforms etc. When you "go to sleep" you enter an alternative dream and vice versa.
It's like reading a book and seeing how many pages are left....I see Mike about to beat a game, and then I mouse over the video to see runtime remaining....and I just laugh, anticipating the frustration to come.
I remember when i was a kid and my parents and me going to the far family but wee dont go anywhere beceause im broke the leg and im very happy stay at home and play Nightmare on Elm Street ahh this sentmental memorys btw im from Poland soory of my English
That’s part of the reason I’m a fan of horror movies and some of the NES games that are considered bad, my mom would take me to rent games or movies when I stayed home sick from school. They’re good memories.
@@avega2792 I'm a fan of horror movies and horror fan games too like Resident Evil,Sillent Hill etc is nice to meet person like you which he likes the same things like me horrors and games nice to meet you mate
For Demon's Crest (SNES) secrets!? if you happen to beat the game easy? it's a bad ending..... get the secrets of the game? it than unlock the real ending. And a bad ass one at that! XD
I've played that game so much when I was a kid! LJN has some terrible games but I think that Nightmare on Elm Street is pretty decent. Some things like the snakes, the bats and the frankenstein monster might not look so cool but the game has elements of the movies in the gameplay itself, like shifting from "woke up" to "dreaming" and getting powers by transforming into wizard, ninja etc. Besides, the graphics and music are fairly good. Unfortunately I missed the live but it's nice to see you playing it anyway.
It Follows. The Babadook. Don't Breathe. The Witch. Transfiguration. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Krampus. Curse & Cult of Chucky. Halloween '18. Get Out. The Monster '16. All great horror flicks from recent years. there was a long while there where every movie was about exorcism, or paranormal this n that, handheld "found footage"....they milked that trend for years man, that was brutal to wait out but it finally ended then all these crazy original flicks started popping up.
Was Fun to Watch Mike Thanks i just had beaten the game myself. This game is truly fun to play and good music. The Abandon House is Actually Freddys House.
The music is so good in this game.
definitely , notice how A Nightmare on elm street has the same Boss (defeated) sound as Battletoads
one of the most underrated game soundtracks
Thank you David Wise, composer extraordinaire.
I'm a fan of this game.
It's flawed, but it's pretty fun when you know what you're doing.
Yeah, its great
It's hardly flawed, as there are only few programming errors that don't interfere with the game.
One such flaw is the corner error where you can't grab bones in wall/ceiling corners in the track and field javelin costume.
Other than that, I don't know of any other actual flaws the game has.

It's my favorite NES game.
@ultimo hombre31 Nah
I'm sorry, but his out bursts and antics are hilarious!
I think it's James inspiration for avgn
Why are you sorry?
@@avega2792 Because the game is tearing Mike apart, Lisa!
Mike is a Gangsta
People said this is a bad game, but, if you figure out the cryptic nature of the game, is one of the best of LJN and it's awesome to play with friends.
Boo, Haunted House.
Most people are just lazy. They should stick to Fortnite.
This is one of my favorite NES games for sure
Friday the 13th also rules when you know how to play. You can beat it in 5 mins with a single counselor across all three days.
This was probably one of the better LJN games.
Just like ur mum.
I Have No Son just like your mom
Here's a tip.
You don't need to go out of the way to get every dream token you see.
Once you've gotten the athlete, ninja, and wizard tokens for the first time, you have them forever.
fg That’s definitely good to know. But I think it’s just video game reflex to see an item on the screen and get it lol
I'm also pretty sure that the order of the first 3 houses is randomized each game. That was one of the most confusing things about this game as a kid.
I thought that was obvious, it's a four player game, that's why there's multiple of them throughout the game.
Clicked through this shit. Saw a ninja doing flying kicks on a giant severed freddy head and claw. WTF. Crazy game.
36:44 45:32 1:15:14 1:15:55 1:18:23🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭 Mike you're hilarious when you rage bro ctfu (Edit) I made this compilation just for you lol

@@BrandinZinck that was one of his more calmer moments 😂🤣😭
Yes and I did the same thing for the Barts nightmare 😅
thx
@@Ayzahaur you're welcome man, anyone would get a laugh outta this lol
This was one of my favorite games as a kid. It was like PG horror for me. Eventhough I was watching Hellraiser at 5 years old...

So I often leave Mike's live streams playing in the background while I'm working, cleaning, etc. And sometimes randomly Mike shouts FUCK YOU like at 29:33. Helps keep things interesting.
This and Friday 13th are classic NES games in my opinion. I can only imagine how scary they used to be for kids back in the 80s.
"... Or has it?"
That's the same shit they pulled with Friday the 13th.
"...Is he really dead? We're not telling."
Mike - The game DOES refill your health after each level. Essentially it's four hits and then you die, but it resets the counter in addition to giving you that 1up when you get the key.

George Costanza is to Larry David as AVGN is to Mike Matei
A Nightmare on Elm Street on NES: from the developer that brought you Killer Instinct and Goldeneye!
This is a party game, get some beers and play it 4 people, man is it fun, you will laugh n scream at eachother, good times, good times...
1:15:04 and 1:15:40
Those jumps are such bullshit. I died four times in a row on the first one.
My favorite game, i never thought it was bad or broken it was great
There are programming errors, you can't get bones in corners with the track star costume due to the hitbox collision, you have to be in normal mode or use a different costume like wizard or ninja.
I loved this game as a kid. Awesome.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that has those video game tourette's fucking awesome man great video
You gonna live stream Monster Madness on Halloween again?
Nightmare on Elm st 3 is my personal fave of the movies,closely followed by the original
Watching you play reminds me of watching my older brother play as a kid .
He was the game ninja .
You ain’t so bad yourself bro.🤘
With the screaming and him living in an apartment it reminds me of that story that Nick Swardson told about how his neighbor thought that he was shooting gay porn because of all the screaming, profanity and banging around
22:18 "He's gonna come.......That's what she said." 😂
Yeah, they REALLY had not yet come to terms even in the late '80s with the fact that these weren't coin-op games and nobody was making more money by making the games so tremendously difficult that you had to pump an endless number of quarters into them to even have a hope of beating them.
@Frizzurd Maybe, but I tend to think they just hadn't made the transition yet.
It's very sad to see Mike do this to himself. LJN, this is what your games do to people.
Do what to himself? This is a good game. One of the best NES games.
Freddy is throwing up a what up with his hands..like a gangster..0:01
Mike do a Demons Crest for Snes stream for October
Great idea! That game is awesome!
Yes! That would be awesome!
Mike helps a lot with the creative processes of making AVGN episodes. I wonder how much of him is in the Nerd character.
Mike is AVGN
Man around the 30 minute mark Mike went all The Count from Sesame Street - One Bones, Two Bones ha ha ha
While James rolfe is away Mike mattai will play (the shitty games he couldn't beat)
Can you do maniac mansion??
Good call!
The tongue gag was used in one and 3.

I was always impressed at the amount of detail they were able to get on Freddy in the title screen. Really good pixel art!
This game and Trojan was a part of my childhood.
morrison22 Trojan doesn’t seem to have a good reputation but it meant a lot to my childhood.
Hey 10 Inch. Lately, Ive really been appreciating your streams. Love your comments and reviews, and I could not agree more with your overall assessment of Conta: Rogue Corps, excellent stuff, Mike.
@24:29 worth subscribing at that moment!
This game as a VR mode and new camera angle, varied teenagers...more power-ups and varied Freddy skins omg

WOW... Just WOW!!!! Well Done Mike... This was one of those games that any of us could'nt beat... WOW!
Part 4 was Great!!! Joey's death was always one of my All Time Favorites!!!
What's the matter Joey? Feeling tongue tied?
That was nightmare 3: Dream Warriors BTW
Anyone remember a guy who played this game four player doing all the voices quite an old video but classic
That Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES theme, IMO almost sounds like it's gonna start playing an 8-bit version of the OSW Review theme.
'Everything's a skull'
Mike, you're awesome dude. You could literally be anyone's best friend.

I wish mike’s screen was larger. His commentary is great!!!!!
I actually like this game even though its LJN its a decent game once you figure it out.
Glad you discovered and played that game , good times
I remember when my mom bought me this game for my birthday!!!! She knew I loved Nightmare on elm Street!!!!
