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!
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
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.
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.”
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
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
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.
Run starts at 5:51
Love that all four of them showed up with Lester costumes! Rat's is the most accurate.
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.
Wow. There really is a speedrun of everything.
Mad props to the speedrunner for playing this awful game.
When I first played through this, I wondered why there wasn't a pirate captain as an end boss.
Somebody call the angry nerd.
Hats off to the player! It is an awesome run of an unusual game.
"Because why not?"
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
5:48
Thank you.
Remember: stalactites hold tight to the ceiling ;)
Stalagmites might fall would be better. Fuck english.
All I can think when I watch this is 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassss' >.<
But not for the run, by the way
One look at this game, and all I could think was "Hate. Hate hate hate."
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
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.

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.
Fun fact, Nintendo Power rated this game highly.
very impressive ! did not think that was possible.
Lester the unlikely doing the commentary! Awesome!
Brownman Ray with the $2500 donation. Brownheart!
My god. Her glasses are amazing.
Makes her look cute AF

Top 10 Saddest Anime moments
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.
Lol at that final missed spoon.
This game is an unfunny joke all the way till the end.
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
Boomerang looks better than sword
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!
Didn’t know they made a game about Stevie T
Lester runs like Steven Segal
Is that Portaxx reading donations? Rad
IS THAT RAY NARVAEZ I SEE IN THE VERY BEGINNING
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
Did she just cosplayed as Lester? :D
BrownMan plz
Rick Moranis
This game seems really long for its genre
Does GDQ do Eurotruck Simulator?
Great job passing this travesty
The couch was given gold with this game and Boring McExposition on the couch really dropped the ball.
14:30 eaten by a grue?
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 music doesn't match the gameplay whatsoever LOL.
So, is the runner mute or is that couch guy talking over her?
And this is unlikely will be a good game!
AVGN
The controls look AWFUL. Gj runner, it looks like a well made game played but someone well trained!
lol AVGN
Far Cry 3 basically 100% ripped off Lester.
11:03 HAHAHAHAHA
Couch commentary by...?
THis is a real game?
Yeah. This piece of garbage was actually sold in stores.
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
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.
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
It's unlikely that this is going to be a good fucking game
Whoa! Biological girls _can_ speedrun after all!
why would you play this game, it sucks
Jokes were painful to hear 😑
Awesome Games Done Quick? This game is not awesome!
The dude talking is so unfunny that it's painful
Thats the point
IS THAT A FEMALE LESTER?!
To speed run a horrible game....and mess up at the very end!!!!!!
They seem so miserable playing and commenting on this game
Lester the unlikely on AWESOME GAMES DONE QUICK......seems legit
