There was a trick that I stumbled on where if you destroyed the aircraft carrier, then died before the level cut out, when you got to the next level, you would have 99 lives! I loved this game.
@@alexkidd8772 I think I'd be walking funny too if I was hanging out in a sub with a compromised reactor core. Probably not running while kicking my feet up to ass level, though.
Never, in my life would I see the Paramount logo, the second oldest Movie studio in America, on an NES Game until now. But I do get why the Tom Clancy novel was made into a game since it is a film set in the Cold War, I mean Rainbow six somehow gets a billion games based on the same novel so I’m not surprised.
The most impressive part of this game has to be the wavy effect they have in the title, because otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to learn that this was released in 1991!
Oddly enough I have some very fond memories of this game, played it a lot with my dad and while we never beat it the game always stuck around in my head. I even enjoy the 9 second droning music, never knew it turned into that weird platformer towards the end, it's nice to see a game from my childhood beaten.
@@NintendoComplete I remember pausing the game, and hitting select would disable the music. I don't think there was a way to get it back except for starting a new game.
I booted up the Beastie Boys at roughly 25:56 in order to end my punishment for not muting the gameplay. I think letting it run in the background of the final section over the actual soundtrack here was worth it. Also, is there any story justification regarding why we blew up Sealab roughly 16 minutes in?
Never quite understood what sub we are supposedly piloting. Its certainly not Red October. Looks more like an Alfa, or a squished representation of a Los Angeles or even Ohio class Still had alot of fun with it. Although the final bomb defusing segment was a huge shock and departure from the rest of the game. I would be curious to find out the development backstory on this game
The first and only time I rented this game I was convinced the game was what my brother and I called "eternally glitched" because of the way the water looked. Have you ever encountered a cartridge that always seemed to have its text or sprites distorted every time you turned it on? I thought for sure that was the case with my rental store's copy of this. I was really surprised to find it was meant to look like that.
I loved this game back then. It had such a cool atmosphere. Too bad the music was horrible. Sure it fit the vibe of the underwater theme but god damn, it tortures the ears.
Best parts of the game IMO are the compositions of the USSR and American national anthems. The game, which I don't know why they chose to adapt this film of all things for a game, just looks like a generic submarine shooter you could get anywhere else, with mediocre graphics and the rest of the music (sans the cutscenes) is not too good, the level music is just droning and creepy, more fitting a spooky horror game.

This was the kind of game you rented from Blockbuster on a Friday.

If only the game had been as entertaining as its portrayal of Khrushchev was, it might've had a shot.
Gotta love the walk cycle in the platforming stage

Such a crappy game.
Not really, the physics especially with the ice cubes in level 2 are pretty good. It's not a bad game, it's just hard.

In my opinion, this game has the best soundtrack.
ROSSIYA SVYASCHENNAYA NASHA DERZHAVA!
I loved watching my brothers play this game. It gives off Metal Gear Solid vibes despite being in the sub nearly throughout the game.
I like the 8-bit Paramount logo.
I remember surprisingly enjoying this game
The US representative looks like Steven Colbert 🤣. Loving the old skool graphics on this.
ahaha, exactly lol :D
They Should Add The Tom Clancy Logo

My ears are bleeding from the sound.
Not a fan of that 9 second loop that plays for most of the game? 😮 Color me surprised.

Which Beastie Boys song?
@@SolCresta3405 "Sabotage" :3
@@YukaTakeuchiFan Sure. At least it's better than that annoying looping music.
Must be Sparks piloting the sub 😂
@@mr.serious2618Guess everything looks like Pod 6 from the outside.
Best book ever
Man I absolutely sucked hard at this game, glad to see someone actually beat it
Never heard of this game. Wow
Watch the movie
@@magpatocx its free on here
The base/boss at 16:25 looks like Rare's
NES art style.
Yeah, you're right. It looks a lot like the bases you blow up in Captain Skyhawk.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I used to rent Captain Skyhawk all the time.
@@rjcupid Great game, that one 👍
Haha, I'm glad you specified that! Thanks once again for the great videos.
Like a better Hunt for Red October experience? Play the board game adaptation.
This has always been the most frustrating game I have ever played. I never managed to last more than the first 3 minutes of it.😂😂😂😂😂
They really stuck to the source material for this one, just like the book!
Never knew about this one !
What a macabre song!!
yes amizing
that is the smoothest sub i've ever seen
Oh,they mad a game of this😳

I just read the book. I watched the film years ago.
how well is the book represented in game form?
@@knuclear200x not very well. If they remade this for today's generation consoles they would do a better job.
Mission briefing song!!
Another sweet vid thanks
THESE WERE THE GAMES BACK IN THE DAY LOL
Doesnt look like a bad game. Lots of potential. But, never played it personally.
I loved this game back then. It had such a cool atmosphere. Too bad the music was horrible. Sure it fit the vibe of the underwater theme but god damn, it tortures the ears.
The movie had two universally-despised people in it: Jeffrey Jones and Alec Baldwin.
Good lord, that out of nowhere genre shift to a bad platformer lasts more than one-quarter of the total play time?
haha, appropriate.
I know! I can't think of a more appropriate game during these wartime days than this.
Музыка тут канеш обосраться можно, особенно в детстве)
this soundtrack...jesus christ lol
Есть у меня в коллекции

Game Boy version is better. Way more claustrophobic and methodical.
Worst music in gaming history
Tell That To Jack Ryan!
The thumb nail is Trumps 2024 campaign poster!
If you die at the same time you destroy the carrier you will respawn with 999 lives. Found this out by chance years ago and appears to be a glitch.
