My parents bought me this game along with Adventures of Dr. Frankenstein in a snes bargain bin back in the 90's. I remember playing this game as a kid and not being able to get past the 3rd level, but it was fun. I feel validated since others played this game lol
Nice. I could never figure any piece of this game out as a kid so shout outs to this runner. anyone who can finish this period is enough to impress me haha.
See, Lester The Unlikely is a game that really exemplifies the attitude of the early days of the games industry. That slight innocence from people that just had an idea and wanted to make it a game, and the bean counters weren't constantly vetoing anything and everything that didn't in some way create or rehash a known IP or have some alternate sort of monetization. They clearly made this game with little to no branding and future exploitibility in mind. Lester wasn't meant to become the juggernaut that Mario or Sonic became. Lester had no staying power whatsoever. It was just a unique idea that, like the title implies, was unlikely to make bank or even stick around at all. Pass or fail, somebody wanted to try something new, so they did.
This is one of those games where I love the comedic concept, the art and animations, but when I try actually playing it, it's clunky and awkward. Maybe intentionally? Regardless, watching a speed runner tear through this game has been a much better way of experiencing it for me, thank you!
I think speedrunners are there to play games, they're not clowns, if they don't want to talk they don't have to I know nothing about the runner, but some people just don't feel like talking in public, it just happens, no need to be a jerk about it
I'm not bashing her for being shy or anything. Runners can be as quiet as they want to be. But refusing to say just a couple words that could put $50 into the donation pot is a dick move.
That's the beauty of speedruns, you never know who can do them this amazingly for a game that is hard as fu for just a casual gamer!. Mind u this game has beyond broken controls
The AVGN would be proud.
+flavio gjoni This run makes it look soooo easy.
Its unlikely that this is gonna be a good game- AVGN
The funny thing about speedrunning this game is that you make Lester look way more athletic than he actually is.
Lester goes from being afraid of a turtle to multiple murder in 17 minutes
“I am not afraid of a person who played 10000 games. But I am afraid of a person who plays 1 game for 10000 times.”

I actually have the WR in this and Dr Franken. Both such fun games
Your parents must be proud to see you living vicariously by watching livestreamers.
Lester for Smash
+Smash Gordon I wish!!!
Its highly unlikely
Lester will just run off the ledge.
"no."
I find it incredible that there's an entire ship full of pirates that are worse swordsmen than Lester.
Wonderful. This girl has the patience and courage to confront this piece of annonymous gaming history. Well done.
Rule 3X: If it exists, there is a speedrun of it
*_Good morning USA!_** intensifies.*
I have yet to see a speed run of Away: Shuffle Dungeon
Love that all four of them showed up with Lester costumes! Rat's is the most accurate.
Run starts at 5:51
I actually hate how on time with the beat 8:47 to 8:51 was, but I appreciate the beauty of it none the less
Wow. There really is a speedrun of everything.
When I first played through this, I wondered why there wasn't a pirate captain as an end boss.
Hats off to the player! It is an awesome run of an unusual game.
That was a sword? I thought Lester was using a feather to tickle the pirates
I guess he would want to have a body count in his mere wasted existence.
"Because why not?"
Mad props to the speedrunner for playing this awful game.
5:48
Thank you.
Somebody call the angry nerd.
Lester the unlikely on AWESOME GAMES DONE QUICK......seems legit
Nice. I could never figure any piece of this game out as a kid so shout outs to this runner. anyone who can finish this period is enough to impress me haha.
All I can think when I watch this is 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassss' >.<
But not for the run, by the way

wait till you find out about indie games
@@IsoYear I'm well aware of indie games.
Its like a really shitty game though. Its too hard in the wrong ways and the controls are crap.
@@shanemccausland958 oh yeah it sucks, but the fact it exists is what I'm happy about.
Remember: stalactites hold tight to the ceiling ;)
Stalagmites might fall would be better. Fuck english.
Lester the unlikely doing the commentary! Awesome!
One look at this game, and all I could think was "Hate. Hate hate hate."
Brownman Ray with the $2500 donation. Brownheart!
very impressive ! did not think that was possible.
Fun fact, Nintendo Power rated this game highly.
My god. Her glasses are amazing.
Makes her look cute AF
I like it how someone said they’d donate another $50 if she said “I love you” and she didn’t say anything haha
Rick Moranis: The Game

Top 10 Saddest Anime moments
Lol at that final missed spoon.
This game is an unfunny joke all the way till the end.
Am I the only one who thinks the 'muricans "XXX" is label for booze? YOu know, the one that gets lit by fire? And I'm from middle-europe...
That's a ladle though, not a spoon.
You made lester looks like ninja gaiden
To be fair to Lester, if I singlehandedly beat a gorilla I'd start to stride with more confidence too
This game is underrated
So, is the runner mute or is that couch guy talking over her?
Does GDQ do Eurotruck Simulator?

Boomerang looks better than sword
Did she just cosplayed as Lester? :D
Is Radioactive_Rat mute? Because there's absolutely no excuse to deny a free $50 donation unless you have some kind of aphasia or something.
I think speedrunners are there to play games, they're not clowns, if they don't want to talk they don't have to

The fact that someone is conditioning such a stupid thing like that to donate it's the actual dick move imo
I would say that the creepy person who wanted a stranger to stay that they loved them in exchange for money is the weirder person
BrownMan plz
Funny when AGDQ knows the game sucks so they make fun of it while providing good commentary :D
18:14 summing up the speedrun in three seconds
Lester runs like Steven Segal
Didn’t know they made a game about Stevie T
IS THAT RAY NARVAEZ I SEE IN THE VERY BEGINNING
The music doesn't match the gameplay whatsoever LOL.
Rick Moranis
Is that Portaxx reading donations? Rad
This game seems really long for its genre
14:30 eaten by a grue?
Great job passing this travesty
Couch commentary by...?
And this is unlikely will be a good game!
The controls look AWFUL. Gj runner, it looks like a well made game played but someone well trained!
THis is a real game?
Yeah. This piece of garbage was actually sold in stores.
Far Cry 3 basically 100% ripped off Lester.
What kind of a weird ass would ever want to be this good at a game like Lester??
There's so many great games with thousands of speedrunners, so I guess some people get desperate....
That's the beauty of speedruns, you never know who can do them this amazingly for a game that is hard as fu for just a casual gamer!. Mind u this game has beyond broken controls
7:26 Lmfao
The couch was given gold with this game and Boring McExposition on the couch really dropped the ball.
It's unlikely that this is going to be a good fucking game
AVGN
lol AVGN
Awesome Games Done Quick? This game is not awesome!
11:03 HAHAHAHAHA
The dude talking is so unfunny that it's painful
Thats the point
why would you play this game, it sucks
Jokes were painful to hear 😑
Whoa! Biological girls _can_ speedrun after all!
To speed run a horrible game....and mess up at the very end!!!!!!
IS THAT A FEMALE LESTER?!
They seem so miserable playing and commenting on this game
