It still is. All these games we grew up with on the NES were so much harder than games nowadays. Funny to think these are kids games. This game is insane, just look at this!
Yes.. funny thing is I really loved the game and for a movie franchise game at the time I still think it’s really good.. just a tad unfair at some points
This is unbelievably skillful bro. Just jaw dropping. You've taken this hobby to a genuine sport and in my opinion now to the level of actual artistry. Proud of you. 🎉
Struggling with this game so much as a kid and able to beat it, coming back to watching you do an insane job navigating the levels had me clenching so hard and so often. Fantastic job.
I can tell this is a Sunsoft game because of a lot of its awesome music was very distinctive for the Nintendo, and a lot of samples are used in Fester's Quest from what I hear.
Sunsoft sprung the extra cash for special sound chips on their cartridges. It didn't hurt that their composers were top notch. Any Sunsoft game, regardless of quality, always had at least one killer track. Blaster Master, Fester's Quest, Platoon, Gimmick, Batman, Journey to Silius. You name it, great music.
I remember watching the movie, and eventually getting this game, I spent the whole Christmas and New Year holiday trying to beat it, couldn't get passed the Electricity Gremlin, then when my parents wanted to sell off things we didn't use anymore, I stubbornly put it back on and spent half a summer on beating it. A couple of years later my brother and me would do the same thing with Super Castlevania, but we beat it 1 November 1993 instead of the day before as planned.
It’s not an arcus run without the “clonk”. Granted I am a recent follower I’ve gone back to take a look at some of your older videos and I absolutely love watching all the cool games that you play. What have come to enjoy about your videos is the “clonk” sound effect. Can’t wait for you to break your next PB record doing the next burrito run.
Wow! I've actually been playing this game off & on lately on an emulator. This game requires extreme preciseness! You definitely put the time & effort into this game. Great job, Mr. Arcus Btw, I'm 35 and I had this game back in the day. I do NOT feel bad for using an emulator since Nintendo decides to limit their IP's/licenses.
YES! Aweosme. I wanted to see him do Gremlins 2. And wow, he made it looks easy, so many parts I thought whoah, that is such good and quick accuracy and timing.
I remember as a kid my hands would start sweating like crazy playing these games and yet here you are speed running them and you're more calm than a cat on nip.
I got this game for Christmas of 1990, and I still play it religiously. Sunsofts' music was of the highest quality, and the detail on the graphics rendered this a "show off" game; look at what the Nintendo was capable of. We had it made then man.
Same thought here. The ouch sound, the jump sound, the bat sprites, the textured, the spikes, the platforming etc etc etc. Definitely some borrowed resources. Never knew about this game until now. Looks super decent.
This game has great music. Stages 1, 3, and 5 are my favorites. I like stage 1 the most of them all, though. I just like how this guy calmly, with a soft-spoken voice, makes all these difficult games his bitch.
@@wellokayyes1266 Naoki Kodaka. He also composed the music for the Genesis Batman game. 3 different Batman games with 3 distinctive scores compose by one man.
I remember beating this under 10 minutes as a wee-lad. They really didnt give a shit about how long game would be at some point. Good music tho, Naoki Kodaka putting everything out there (batman, journey to silius).

I dont have the time to play the games. But I do enjoy watching this man speed run my childhood.
I’m sorry you played this hahaha
Omg I think I did play this and hated it 😅
I must have played this game a million times trying to beat it before I got a game genie lmao. I can feel every move he's making as I watch this lol.
Gotta love the mass murder at the end of the game lmao.
Wish I had time to play games too. Can't wait until I retire.
“I was actually nervous there.” Arcus nervous is still more relaxed than most people on copious amounts of Xanax.
This game was always incredibly hard back in the day
INCREDIBLY 😃
Yepp! For sure
It still is. All these games we grew up with on the NES were so much harder than games nowadays. Funny to think these are kids games. This game is insane, just look at this!
This was one of those games from my childhood that had me on the verge of tears from frustration. Good times.
Yes.. funny thing is I really loved the game and for a movie franchise game at the time I still think it’s really good.. just a tad unfair at some points
The one kid who didn't get a game genie for christmas in the 80s.
Haha, I still have mine, and it still works great.
This is unbelievably skillful bro. Just jaw dropping. You've taken this hobby to a genuine sport and in my opinion now to the level of actual artistry. Proud of you. 🎉
He’s definitely the master of the NES. No question.
Just don't get it wet, feed it after midnight, and don't expose it to any sunlight. And clunk.

The graphics look like SNES. Kind of mind-blowing a gremlins game had this quality art for NES

Sunsoft: great tunes, lame-ass games.
Severe Blaster Master memories!
I remember dumping days and hours into this game and never beating it.
Soundtrack on this game is a banger. Nice run Arcus!
The graphics are really good...how did i miss this one as a kid
This soundtrack is fire! Wtf? 🔥
I 2nd that
Level 2 and the ending are my favorites! But the whole soundtrack bumps
Sunsoft games always had great music. Batman, Blaster Master, Journey to Silius... All amazing
Nice gfx too

Finished this game on emulator with lots of save states. Took me a while. But my dude sowed he can ace trough it like nothing. Hats off.
This game was badass - I can’t believe it can be beat fast.

Even watching on a newer TV, that dark green floor is so similar in colour to the black! Looks like a tough game

This game looks insanely hard, especially by the time you get to 3-2.
Amazing speed run
Omg I love this game and movie so much, the OST is fire with this one too! I'm gonna really enjoy watching Arc run this one
I remember as a kid my hands would start sweating like crazy playing these games and yet here you are speed running them and you're more calm than a cat on nip.
Cat bio makes cats hyper doesn’t it?
Arcus, you rock man! So good.

Is that the famous Arcus Sub Sandwich??!! It’s a great sandwich btw! I remember when he made that yummy sub!
Great run bro. That look of satisfaction at the end there. Heck of a hard game but man you smashed it 👊
the automatons' passionless goal is to repeat its actions until it ceases to exist
This reminds me alot of Crystalis for the NES, I think the damage pain sound for gizmo is the same as the Crystalis character also?
Same thought here. The ouch sound, the jump sound, the bat sprites, the textured, the spikes, the platforming etc etc etc. Definitely some borrowed resources. Never knew about this game until now. Looks super decent.
I never noticed this, but this game has epic music! :) not only one but multiple great tracks. Also congrats on a great time! :)
Great game great 👍 run Arcus thank you for it
I'm early for an Arcus VOD PogChamp
Arcus yet again showing me games I never new existed.
Some class act platforming on level 5 there!
Awesome. This game is very fond to me though I played it growing up.
This game has great music. Stages 1, 3, and 5 are my favorites. I like stage 1 the most of them all, though.
I just like how this guy calmly, with a soft-spoken voice, makes all these difficult games his bitch.
The music is obviously from the same composer as the Batman NES and Game Boy games.
Ha I definitely hear that now
@@wellokayyes1266 Naoki Kodaka. He also composed the music for the Genesis Batman game. 3 different Batman games with 3 distinctive scores compose by one man.
Great work and great game!
One of the better NES games based on a movie
Very well done soundtrack.
Thanks for bringing me back to memory lane :)
Master Piece of Game.👍🍻🍺
intro screen sounds like "unheavenly creatures" by co&ca. 💗💗💗💗
Nicely done!
Amazing run!
This one is special I am very impressed
Me: I have played so many weeks to finish this game
Arcus: And clunk ! Mesh mesh mesh....
Thanks for this video, this game is so beautiful.
Jump and ouch...jump and ouch - Arcus
For some reason I've never played this and missed it altogether. But, it kinda gives me Fester's Quest vibes.
I briefly remember playing this one.
Where's Angry Video Game Nerd? He needs to watch this. Arcus is freak of nature.
This one's a better version than the Atari 2600. Great Speedrun👏👏
Wow I never played this one! It looks ridiculously hard hahaha
this game has a good graphics for a NES game..
i never beat the second stage (spiders)
Amazing run 👍
Where’s the clonk? That’s why I came to this video lol love you arcus ur vids are amazing
Nice shootin tex!
Good work
Great subway endorsement
This was the 1st Nintendo game I beat... this shit was MAD DIFFICULT
I remember beating this under 10 minutes as a wee-lad. They really didnt give a shit about how long game would be at some point. Good music tho, Naoki Kodaka putting everything out there (batman, journey to silius).
Good job. Congrats
8:39 Is...that the spider from I wanna be the Boshy??
Sounded like mega man in the end
my heart is pounding here arcus you fuck !
Didn't even know this was a game...
This game looks like a nightmare
This game reminds me of Crystalis.
What's your go-to Subway order?
Jo Jo wants a can of Bubble B TunA. 😹
Best streamer in the world :0
dam dude I could NEVER get past 5 - 1 no matter HOW MANY times I tried. I think I broke a controller over that stage.
That song at 4:10 i feel like i heard that in a Castlevania game
Starfox
I rented this one.. Drunken good weekend and I did pass it because of Nintendo power maps
duder, blew my fx$kin mind
All these bosses die so easy when you play it
This game actually looks decent.
this game was to hard for poor young me but the soundtrack kept me trying !
You've lost a lot of weight, man. Hello from Russia.
Amo esse jogo. Gráfico lindo.
Schmooving!
I don't like the "clunk" sound effect. I like to hear it from the man himself!
I was wondering if he has stopped saying clunk?
@@ARUCARDFTEPES It would be a dark day for his channel if so... :(
nice run, video was a bit dark .. could not see the pits
And....... “Clunk”
Hi, Arkus
I had this game as a kid. It was nightmarish. Hard, grey and uninspired!
Ok but no Hulkster c'mon man
Nice
I'm not that familiar with Gremlins 2 (The game, not the movie. The movie is crazy fun.) It looks super 'Sunsoft' though. I might have to get a copy.
What kind of sandwich is that on the screen? Cold Cut Combo?
gg arcus not an easy game ^^
GG
Common
How? 2:26
gg
sheeesh
Everything OK with Arcus? I haven't seen any (new) original content on RUclips in awhile?
He posts every week or so...
