I had got to experience it as a kid growing up. We ended up having it, so was me, my friend, and my parents all playing NoES together. Loved the Ninja powers back then.
Was ahead of its time? Maybe? I never had the opportunity back then to try 4 players...I'm sure had I bugged my parents at Christmas time, they would've gotten that 4 player NES adapter thing, but how many games really utilized 4 players back then? Ah well, never too late to play now ;)
2:08 Boys: Take care of him! Girls: Got it! 10:33 (The entire team switches to Ninjas, except for the Blue Boy. They're looking at him with confusion.) Blue Boy: What. I prefer shorts, okay? Rest: You're the leader. (All of them switch to Javelin)
I forgot how good the music is on this game. Also, this was one of the most entertaining TAS that I've seen in a while when it comes to general player movement.

The Dream Warriors & The Dream Master Nancy Thompson - Can pull items and people out of Dreams. As demonstrated in the first movie, where she pulled Freddy's hat out and then later Freddy. Kristen Parker - Pulling other people (and animals, noted by Kincaid's dog Jason) in and out dreams and gymnastic like agility. Joey Crusel - Super sonic scream Roland Kincaid - Super human strength. Will Stanton - Can walk in his dreams and has magical abilities based off his favorite Tabletop RPG, The Wizard Master. Taryn White - Enhanced confidence, beauty, and toughness also expert at using switchblades, and her clothes change into 80 punk rocker. Alice Johnson - Alice was the Dream Master, or the guardian of the positive gate, the gateway to good dreams. And as such, she had the power (and responsibility) to guard the sleeper whilst they dreamed. And as such, Alice had the unique ability to absorb the dream powers of Freddy's most recent victims.She also absorb kristen powers pulling people into dreams, and gymnastics like agility , rick powers of karate mastery and sheila power of technology and Debbie toughness. Mark Gray - The ability to morph into his comic book character, The Phantom Prowler. Rick Johnson - karate mastery
They should make a final "Nightmare on Elm Street" one-A movie (the actual franchise is over anyway) where the Slasher trope is subverted and the good guys (an ensemble) actually reach a major victory and blast Freddy into oblivion without anyone else dying. ;)
Probably because Rare was an independent studio that needed money. A lot of licensed games come from that angle - you're a small studio, get approached by a publisher who'll pay you for a quick license game, and you do it.
@@MichaelSchiciano Eh, they had plenty of titles under their belt by then - sure, I can see a cash grab but they had RC Pro Am, Wizards & Warriors, and plenty more before this was done. LJN had so many...questionable games (I remember borrowing Jaws from a friend and distinctly hating it). Maybe that's just me.
The Nightmare on Elm Street movies are scary on a whole level man. I don't even remember a scene where four grade school children ran around punching spiders, but it's because I repress it.
FourScore's a hell of an accessory, and only a handful of games supported it, mostly sports games or other purely competitive things. i think this is the only platformer that uses it?
This game really isn't as bad as people say it is. Being sort of generic is about its greatest sin, but for the glut of licensed titles on the NES, this is one of the better ones. Also it was developed by Rare, which has to be worth something.
Quite surprising how an NES can handle 4 players running around at the same time (even though there is a bit of slowdown), but hey, that's Rare for you.
I still remember a dream I had after renting this game from Major Video. My brother and myself had bunk beds and a Fraggle Rock poster in our old room and in my dream my great grandfather who we called Grampa Whiskers did a backflip over our bunk beds, but it was just a shadow shape that my brain interpreted as him. Only time in my life that I was paralyzed with fear. I tried to scream Mom!but nothing would come out. And it was because we were playing scary games way to young.
Tas: *Completes the game in **14:45** seconds...* Me & Friends: *Spending 10 minutes trying to enter the first house by pressing up button at the same time*
If you enjoyed this game you should try the free 1999 NES fan game “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Son of a Hundred Maniacs” You get to play AS Freddy. Download link in my most recent video. 👹
It always baffled me how Nintendo was willing to make their "A Nightmare On Elm Street" game a four-player game but weren't willing to do the same for their "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" games.🤔
Four very pissed off teens tired of Freddy's garbage tear through Elm St.
You mean Freddy's™ garbage.
When Freddy underestimates the kids who do track & field as well as boxing
"You picked the wrong house fool!" - Big Smoke
Forgot to add gymnastics 😭
Turns out Freddy was the one having the nightmare.
Gotta admit, the concept of a 4 player Freddy Krueger game on NES back in the day sounded so awesome.
I had got to experience it as a kid growing up. We ended up having it, so was me, my friend, and my parents all playing NoES together. Loved the Ninja powers back then.

Freddy Krueger wasn't wondering why they weren't screaming... he was wondering how he died so quickly.
If this was actually how people dealt with Freddy Krueger back in the day, he’d be long gone by now.
Me struggling to run in my dream: "Is it Freddy or is it lag?"
I know that feeling all too well as a kid.
Freddie's skeleton consists of 76 femurs apparently.
imagine not having 76 femurs lmao
Never skip leg day, all he needs is legs to chase you in nightmares
I thought those were wrenchs lol
Super Freddy wonder
2:08
Boys: Take care of him!
Girls: Got it!
10:33
(The entire team switches to Ninjas, except for the Blue Boy. They're looking at him with confusion.)
Blue Boy: What. I prefer shorts, okay?
Rest: You're the leader.
(All of them switch to Javelin)
That's my favorite part of TASes. If there's nothing to be done to go faster, you can be sure they'll do something silly in the mean time x)
Then they look at each other like "whoa."
ContraJump
lol at that ending...
Freddy™ is dead
This was fun to watch the players navigate the game with perfection. This game was so hard
it was brutal, its like the shtick was you really want 2-4 players otherwise you're in for hell
I forgot how good the music is on this game.
Also, this was one of the most entertaining TAS that I've seen in a while when it comes to general player movement.
I love how they just merge together into a hideous deathball to take care of bosses
Freddy's(TM) coming!
He sure is! - AVGN
@@themcc1879 AVGN has ruined me for this game. All I can see is glory hole'd Freddy Dick™ >_>
The movie should've had this much punching.
My favorite part of this is how they're running with such purpose.
Freddy never expected a crack-team of elite active dreamers.
Enjoy the run, y'all!
No one punches giant spiders better than you, mate
This was super entertaining. I love the player movement!
Nice run, do you play Smash Bros?
@@odinnoah1340 casually. it's hard to play competitively when you control four characters at once

Imagine 4 teens in your dream running at you full speed and punching the air around you
sounds like a highschool bullying nightmare
Me and the Boys going in to kick a nightmare demon's ass
The only time you’ll see four people play this game. However, the music for this game is really good.

This was oddly satisfying to watch
I was not expecting this level of awesomeness.
I'm having a hard time figuring out who is actually having the nightmare here
that would be me, dealing with lag reduction while making this run
That the coolest speedrun of this game ive ever seen, pure awesomeness 😊
The music in this game really isn't half bad
this game supports simultaneous 4 player? dadgum, don't see many NES games that support that. Heck, it's uncommon to see any game support that.
You needed a special adapter to even plug-in more than 2 controllers, so that's why.
@@hammylove821Too bad it couldn't be done for the Ninja Turtles games, the arcade was the only place to play all 4 turtles at once.
The big question is: How did LJN con Rare into doing a game for them?
Probably because Rare was an independent studio that needed money.
A lot of licensed games come from that angle - you're a small studio, get approached by a publisher who'll pay you for a quick license game, and you do it.
@@MichaelSchiciano Eh, they had plenty of titles under their belt by then - sure, I can see a cash grab but they had RC Pro Am, Wizards & Warriors, and plenty more before this was done.
LJN had so many...questionable games (I remember borrowing Jaws from a friend and distinctly hating it). Maybe that's just me.
LJN conned Rare 6 times in total. Same with Atlus.
@@solarflare9078 I can at least respect Atlus, haha
FREDDY wasn't REDDY for these kids
They're definitely The Dream Warriors
The Dream Warriors : Young Blood
Dokken: "And maybe tonight you'll be gone!"
I'm just imagining the cinema making this into a movie, Nightmare on TAS street
10:53
Ah yes, the Elms Thigh building
The Nightmare on Elm Street movies are scary on a whole level man.
I don't even remember a scene where four grade school children ran around punching spiders, but it's because I repress it.
there is " 4 " nightmares
The way this is tas'd kinda reminds me of little big planet.
@Sebas7710Fun opinion: The Ps3 was actually named after the 3 capabilities it had.. playing Little Big Planet, FFX HD, and, blu-rays.
this was way better than the movie
I wish more games had 4 player compatibility in the NES days.
I wonder if those are bones they're collecting, or open-end wrenches.
Masterpiece 👏🏻
The blue guy looks just like Mario Lopez's Slater from Saved by the bell.
They should have called this game Boo: Haunted House
High entertainment value on this one.
OH FUCK HERE COMES Freddy™️!!
The synced jumping had me rolling, looks like dancing.
I love it 4 players blow me away u guys ran this game
Never knew the NES could support 4 controllers
FourScore's a hell of an accessory, and only a handful of games supported it, mostly sports games or other purely competitive things. i think this is the only platformer that uses it?

This is Freddys nightmare.
I always like to 4 TAS players play through games such as this game and New Super Mario Bros Wii!
I hate it when I'm a hideous disfigured monster minding my own business, and then a bunch of kids show up and start beating the shit out of me.
"Where am I going to find three other people to play this game? I'd have a better chance of cloning myself!" (Various profanities x 4)
--AVGN
Am I crazy or is this better designed as a four player game than NSMB Wii?
Seems like it. Game seems designed well enough with four players in mind.
@@kingdomcome3914 Keep in mind that things always go perfectly in a TAS, but even in clips of the 4 human gameplay I see some clever design elements.
@@pentelegomenon1175 It's why I said, "well enough". The game has a level design that allows a better sync between players.
''everyone punch the spider and remember... the red shirted ass is the main character so shine him up like a new penny"
Quite surprising how an NES can handle 4 players running around at the same time (even though there is a bit of slowdown), but hey, that's Rare for you.
The bosses said fuck this shit at the end and sent the glove out to distract the teens while everyone else ran away

Freddie's nightmare
Music was amazing...
Excelente.
muy bien logrado
WHO WOULD WIN:
A dream stalking serial killer
OR
Four punchy bois and grils
Four players be like: We are gonna beat you to death.
Tas: *Completes the game in **14:45** seconds...*
Me & Friends: *Spending 10 minutes trying to enter the first house by pressing up button at the same time*
Dang, I was really rooting for red girl. Well, gg red guy.
It’s like... the teens met the doomslayer and now they’re not afraid of Freddy all of a sudden.
i love the music in this game
I wonder how much tech was used to reduce lag.
Man that didnt look like any school i ever went to but that sure was how it FELT like to go to most of them!
this movie would fucking rule
I feel like the general premise of this game could have worked a lot better if it was based on Dream Warriors and not the original movie.
4p tas be like the last speedrun I ever had
Freddy sure has a lot of bones, doesn't he? That's several people worth of bones there.
I had so much trouble with this game as a kid...
This is the reason why Freddy can only kill one kid at a time.
They seriously put a fucking trademark symbol next to Freddy's name in the game lol...
Man, those kids weren't fucking around.
A nightmare on elm Streetfighter
You like Nintennndooo?
You like to play shitty games??
How have I never heard of this game before? Looks fun with friends. Lmao
the soundtrack slaps
this is what modern MMORPGs minmaxing feels like
Player 2 was helping the players
How did you get 4 people who are so in sync with this game?
They got ROB the robot, Johnny 5, Ed-209 and M3=B9 Gunter to play together
It's a tool assisted speedrun, there are no real 4 people that are playing this game. It's just predetermined input on 4 emulated controllers.
These people had some really unsafe houses.
"nightmare in elm street and the four ninjas"
... OR HAS IT?
Some people actually name the song playing by that phrase. ;-)
Pretty awesome game! 👍🏻👍🏻
If you enjoyed this game you should try the free 1999 NES fan game “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Son of a Hundred Maniacs” You get to play AS Freddy. Download link in my most recent video. 👹
They kill him so fast i don't even get to see what form he's in!!!
What?! Is that ligal?
6:08 Flying...sperm?
Guess Freddy's Readdy down there.
were they the power rangers?
TAS doesn't fear fear nor death.
It always baffled me how Nintendo was willing to make their "A Nightmare On Elm Street" game a four-player game but weren't willing to do the same for their "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" games.🤔
we should get a parody movie where its these 4
12:42 damn music got scary
Konami should have borrowed some of the code to make TMNT II: TAG 4 player
So Freddy Krueger got a gang beating from 4 pissed off kids😂
This game would have been so much better if we played as Freddy like was originally planned. Fuck puritans
Funny how they trademarked Freddy like it's not a common name
fanTAStic hehe
Really pushing the NES on this one
