Before Legend of Zelda, there was Tower of Druaga. This arcade, though hard as hell, was revolutionary for its time. I strongly recommend using a guide to not get lost. I remember beating this on PS1's Namco Museum Vol. 3. Believe me, the moment when Druaga himself appears in person (1:06:16) is epic. That 8-armed monster is a beast.
I remember playing this on Namco Museum Vol. 3. Took a while to get the treasures, and a few tries to beat Druaga too. Thanks for the nostalgia throwback!
If i remember correctly, In the PS1 port of "Namco Museum Vol. 3" version, there was a "No Jet Boots Clear" achievement for a real hardcore challenge. i've never bothered to even dare to attempt that challenge!! LOL

Besides the more well recognized history of jrpgs that started with Dragon Quest and FF there was also second, less often mentioned lineage of more action-based Japanese rpgs like Tower of Druaga, Hydlide, Xanadu, Deadly Towers, Zelda games and Rygar.
Don't forget there's 3rd quest known as "Darkness Tower" which(correct me if I'm wrong..) was an exclusive quest in the "PSX" port of "Namco Museum Vol. 3", right?? I've never played the 3rd quest, but from what I've seen in online "Let's Plays", It has some bizarre elements.. ...
@@alvarochaves1999 There is a way to continue!! First Insert multiple credits before you begin the game and if you happen to get a "Game Over" and get booted back at the title screen, Hold down action button and press start, it should take you to the continue screen!!
Mr. Aruruアルルさん I've done it before, but it was the most frustrating experience of my life. I even did it on one life. This happened after about 300 attempts.
BTW, you were NOT expected to 1CC this game. As proof, if you die, continue and beat the level, it gives you back all your points from the levels you did beat.

I loved this game on Namco Museum. Especially when it told you how to get all those hidden treasures
It’s amazing that it’s one of the few arcade games you can beat, as most are trying to get the high score.
Are you serious? This game was impossible to complete without a guide.
@@saporob Yeah, even with knowing how it works for the most part it can be HARD.
@@saporobhe didn't mean the difficulty, he brought up the possibility of beating it instead of just infinitely playing it for the score
Gill and Valkyries is the first hero characters of Namco before Tales series was born
Happy 40th Anniversary, Tower Of Druaga!!
This was one of the Namco games from the app that’s why I discovered how much I love videogames
This game is awesome, really like the soundtrack in particular. The theme that plays when a dragon is on the floor gets your adrenaline pumping.
Wow I still remember and love and actually even play this game XD
The regular moving speed is god-awful slow. Winged shoes definitively needed to even try to beat the game...
How to Beat Tower of Druaga
1. Get the Boots
2. Get the Boots
3. GET THE BOOTS!
@@megajaredx9679 Yeah, but you need almost all treasures actually.

@@megajaredx9679 avgn reference. 😂😂😂
@@sammyyo461 an achievement on the ps1? Not likely (yes I do own this game for the ps1 before you ask)

There is a second set of 60 levels, known as Another Tower, things are changed around in that second quest.
Don't forget there's 3rd quest known as "Darkness Tower" which(correct me if I'm wrong..) was an exclusive quest in the "PSX" port of "Namco Museum Vol. 3", right?? I've never played the 3rd quest, but from what I've seen in online "Let's Plays", It has some bizarre elements.. ...
@@sammyyo461 Yes, that's ONLY in that release.
I saw videos of those other two quests before. Quite challenging though.
Congraturations!
The Dark Souls of the 80s.
If you lost all the lifes, you will start over the beginning.

I only knew about this game, thanks to the anime.
Man, this is cool!
Really like this game
A RPG Game for arcades is rare
Can someone do a Longplay of the adventure mode of Dig Dug on Game Boy, New Dig Dug that is?
No wonder he dies in one hit. The noob's wearing gold armor!
I have so many questions... was the INTING of the first 2 lives for something later on?
I can hear the splices on floor 59.
Stay focus press hold x to use your sword 🗡️

Tower Of Duraga
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Spoilers: best ending ever
Triumphant fanfare 1:07:28
It's a little slow.
And they say dark souls is hard, it's nothing compared to this, 80's and 90's games were insane
I hate how this game has random death trap chests in some of the levels
And some of the bad chest items too.
The Potion of Death for example.
This game rules haha

Omg you're .......
I always hated this game. The levels are way too long and the game takes forever to beat.
For me I think it’s not the worst game I’ve played before, just only finding the correct items.
In general, it’s a decent game.
There are far worse alternatives but yeah the design aged like milk
Boy that's asinine.
