The second game I ever played, first being Sonic the Hedgehog. I managed to beat this game as a kid. Nowhere near as quickly as you did though. And I thought the game was over when you beat the fly boss the first time. Almost ten years later I played it again and discovered that you actually have to beat the game twice to fight Loki. It was so exciting to discover something new from something you've had so much fun with as a kid. Nice speed run. And thanks for uploading. Maximum nostalgia.
Phenomenal playthrough!!! I had this game and I remember it being more fun than it was hard!!! You just made this game look like nothing because you breezed through it so fast and easily!!! Good Job!!!
I never even got past the first level... All those years of tryin to beat the level, and you just blow through it like nothing. I kneel before you, master!
great, you solved the big question mark of my old memory : "Defeat loki in a golden armored arthur, arthur will hug princess as golden one" So the answer is NO
That goddamned sword appearing right in your path right before the final boss...amazing precision dodging that. If this game hadn't stuck with such a harebrained weapon mechanic (forcing you to pick things up whether you want to or not), this game wouldn't be so detestable.
I remember playing this game and accidentally getting the sword and trying my damnedest to get rid of that crappy weapon. The knives, shields, and goddess power made me happy!
I have a question, Talbot--Are there any power-ups in the game that give you an extra life without having to score the neccessary number of points to earn it yourself? The reason why I ask this is because I was playing the arcade version of the game on Capcom Classics Collection for the PS2 and that particular power-up did appear and I did picked it up to gain an extra life.
I'm so proud:) Finished the game tonight! Not as fluid as this guy but I did it. I had an easier way of killing the giant snail tho. Great game, love the whole series.
so if you win on easy they just make you play the whole thing again? i never even beat it on easy, but i always made it 99% through. is that thing you get from that girl on lvl one like a weapon power up or something?
I always thought to myself what's up from 10:32 - 10:35, they did that on purpose of pausing at that spot! that's great stuff, I remember getting stuck on the 2nd last level when those two snake thingy's come out, the demon is pretty easy in comparison with the other bosses.
That was actually hard mode. No matter what difficulty , you have to play through the game again to get the fireball weapon from the fairy. The Ghosts n' Goblins series has always made you play through every game twice cause Capcom's evil.
When I was young after days playing, I got to the end, I didn't understand a word of english(not first language) so when I was sent back to the first level I was like "ok, crappy ending"
@BendyStrawhat i was aware of that, but in the arcade version he's named lucifer and every other version of it except the megadrive/genesis version. nice try :) hehe
love how they try to squeeze in this norse bullshit, even though the last boss i meant to be lucifer not loki, you can even tell by the second last boss the big fly thingy, lucifer is the lord of flies, amazing speed run by the way i doubt i could finish this in 2 hours let alone 20 something minutes :)
This game is FAR more reasonable than the Super NES version. You can aim up and down and the weapons aren't designed to kill YOU with freaky screwy trajectories. Just as hard but not as sickcruel.
What takes you 5 minutes to accomplish took me 5 hours literly but even though it can't save when ivwent back to the game all the levels took me no time to finish again
The sword isn't crappy. I mean sure, you have no range, but it's the most powerful weapon in the game. After that come the axe and then the... power for lack of a better name.
its funny how the demo @ the end isnt played NEARLY as well as the guy who did this speedrun... lol and most of them pause when arthur is running away from a creature...
'' if it wernt for the magic power..even arthur could have been defeated before he reached loki'' not fucking likely considering he reached loki without magic just to be told to go back and get it..

Unbelievable! You totally ripped apart one of the hardest games I've ever played. Hat's off to you sir, awesome skill!
This is a very difficult game, probably the most difficult I have ever played. Kudos to you for this run.
You, sir, are a god. I can't believe they make you almost beat the game then start all over again!
OMG, watching you playing like a boss revived memories of me playing this, and i've never reached the 4th World ^^ you're an accomplished man !
I love the fact that upon completing this game, you get a montage of things that you didn't do.
Phenomenal playthrough!!! I had this game and I remember it being more fun than it was hard!!!
You just made this game look like nothing because you breezed through it so fast and easily!!!
Good Job!!!
I've played this game since I was a kid I only reached the 5th lvl thanks to you I see what it ends
dat skill. you are worthy of the Internet and so much more.
We did it man. I was with you the whole time!
I never even got past the first level... All those years of tryin to beat the level, and you just blow through it like nothing. I kneel before you, master!
Spents my childhood on this game and never got the special ending.. skillful run.
No words other than trippy... Truly trippy
This takes me back... especially the message of 'Congratulation'.
Awesome, that's what I call a cool victory on one of the hardest SEGA GENESIS games.
great, you solved the big question mark of my old memory : "Defeat loki in a golden armored arthur, arthur will hug princess as golden one" So the answer is NO
great work gettin through this fun, yet tough as nails game
WTG DUDE you are the man u have mad skillz!!!!!!
That was a close call with almost getting stuck with that sword at before the second Bee boss... but it turned out okay! Great run.
@TheAdz95 Yes, this game is included in the "Capcom Classics Collection"
That was amazing!
That goddamned sword appearing right in your path right before the final boss...amazing precision dodging that. If this game hadn't stuck with such a harebrained weapon mechanic (forcing you to pick things up whether you want to or not), this game wouldn't be so detestable.
Furthest I ever got was the cloud enemies in the castle just before the boss there. Goddess power rocks!

Just amazing.
wow i love the way they designed the tongues
millions of hours wasted but i loved every minute of it;)
I'm so proud:)
Finished the game tonight!
Not as fluid as this guy but I did it.
I had an easier way of killing the giant snail tho.
Great game, love the whole series.
so if you win on easy they just make you play the whole thing again? i never even beat it on easy, but i always made it 99% through. is that thing you get from that girl on lvl one like a weapon power up or something?
you are amazing and insane
Good effort! Nails game!
Wow I used to play this game so much and I never even got past the first go through xD
Sir, U got my respect!
@TheAdz95 I think PSP might have it on the Capcom Classics game.
awesome speedrun. i just downloaded this 2day and i barely got to the 1st boss
I always thought to myself what's up from 10:32 - 10:35, they did that on purpose of pausing at that spot!
that's great stuff, I remember getting stuck on the 2nd last level when those two snake thingy's come out, the demon is pretty easy in comparison with the other bosses.
Outstanding.
wow!! The last weapon ,that you have take, is very strong!!! this game is beauty, but it is also difficult!!!! ;) For me... :p
Wow. Truly one of the best gamers. This game is ridiculous. That fuckin giant maggot took me awhile. haha
awesome! i think i only beat the game once... i think, lol
bad azz skillz!
Amazing :DD
Is this tool assisted?
'Prinny: Can I really be the hero?' is on nearly on par with this game! Check it out if you want a freaking challenge.
Impresionante!!!
Awesome playing man :) They should put this on XBOX arcade.....would be nice to put people in their place as gamers lol.
No "Nice Catch!!" when you get keys? lol
Anyways, nice playthrough. I hope one day there's a remake of this.
That was actually hard mode. No matter what difficulty , you have to play through the game again to get the fireball weapon from the fairy. The Ghosts n' Goblins series has always made you play through every game twice cause Capcom's evil.
do we restart if we comple the game the first time with the golden armor?
+Lego DAROL Inc it's not the armor you need, it's the magic power...
+Jessica Creel and the magic power doesnt drop from the chests until you have cleared up to loki at that save at least once
very impressive
Super Ghouls n Ghosts was a different game. This one never came out on SNES.
You play this game like Contra, I would never dare to run around naked like that in this game
Year 1400 - Prince will do anything to please the Princess (Literally kills himself to please her)
Year 2011 - Fuck that shit lol
CONGRATULATION!
When I was young after days playing, I got to the end, I didn't understand a word of english(not first language) so when I was sent back to the first level I was like "ok, crappy ending"
i could never get past the wasp firing bogies at the end
Holy crap, This is pure win!... Now try to beat the first half using only torch/sword and no daggers/lance/shield XD
Marry me oh awesome one !!!!
Sardius from Super G&G is a harder final boss but this is an overall more difficult game.
This video contains love at the end
Finish this game should be really hard, but make it doing a speed run :O increíble
lol evil. as for the fireball, can you say "hadouken"? XD
@xXSolidSnake1996Xx Everybody did that ! I've played days and days to get to the end and than.... I was so desopoinded !
Great music btw !
10:31 Fighting the final boss with the lance? Hax, Arthur. Hax.
@Smdylan
nice try, but Loki was a trickster. Tricksters shape shift.
Loki = shapeshifter
but you are rightabout the lord of the flies thing.
THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
@BendyStrawhat i was aware of that, but in the arcade version he's named lucifer and every other version of it except the megadrive/genesis version.
nice try :) hehe
@TheAdz95 seeing as this game is from 1994, id say sure
its a great game
love how they try to squeeze in this norse bullshit, even though the last boss i meant to be lucifer not loki, you can even tell by the second last boss the big fly thingy, lucifer is the lord of flies, amazing speed run by the way i doubt i could finish this in 2 hours let alone 20 something minutes :)
you sir... are a wizzard
This game is FAR more reasonable than the Super NES version. You can aim up and down and the weapons aren't designed to kill YOU with freaky screwy trajectories. Just as hard but not as sickcruel.
actually, it's because he NEEDS the goddess weapon to go on to beat Loki. That being said, it does indeed suck.
holy crap you have to do the game twice???? !!!!!
Yep. Once my dad didn't bring it and he had to restart.
Charles Dance? In what way?
@talbot1939 "Capcom's evil" HSUAHSIUAHSUHAUSHAHUI
wow
but is not the end
XD
i have this game on my psp
but is called
ghouts and goblins
so this game really does have an ending:)
Dat ending music ^_^
What takes you 5 minutes to accomplish took me 5 hours literly but even though it can't save when ivwent back to the game all the levels took me no time to finish again
@erickalmeida21 yes
i have a psp with this game and the rest of em an i have a chea for changing weapons and i dont have to open any chests
@grangolpe xq dices eso? él mismo dijo que está en difícil.
Medieval Contra.
P.S. You are the fucking man.
i think this game was the hardest game to beat.
The sword isn't crappy. I mean sure, you have no range, but it's the most powerful weapon in the game. After that come the axe and then the... power for lack of a better name.
End boss was a let down eh?
I don't mean to brag but I just bought this game today and beat all the levels the first time in under 2.5 hours.
its funny how the demo @ the end isnt played NEARLY as well as the guy who did this speedrun... lol and most of them pause when arthur is running away from a creature...
Super Ghouls N Ghost is MORE easier than this one !
7:35
It took arthur three years to defeat this fucking game...
no surprise >_>
This game is as hard as hell, but the bosses are WAY TOO EASY.
'' if it wernt for the magic power..even arthur could have been defeated before he reached loki'' not fucking likely considering he reached loki without magic just to be told to go back and get it..
@MrEzzmode
Holy shit.
Fuck that.
Nearly failed right at the end. 6:28 he was half a second away from picking up the sword.
shouldve called thor to defeat loki, would only take minutes lol
@xXSolidSnake1996Xx HAHAHA!!! I can imagine your fury...
When I was little ... my father was famous
