@@Xalvador83 What an awesome comment! Thank you from the bottom of my pixelated heart! If you're so inclined, please share the video and spread the word
I promise i will so the best i can😉
I've never even heard of Heavy Barrel! It's crazy knowing I'll be 36 this year and there's still NES games I don't know. Great video brother as always
That library is incredibly deep... my last video plumbed the depths of the NES library
I’m almost 36 too and have only known about it for a couple of months through UA-cam vids. Takes me back to finding out about a new game in EGM or Nintendo Power!
i remember it but only from playing it at my local bowling alley, that game was constantly jammed with kids, the Arcade version was seriously awesome.
I used to play with my brother 😁
The defining good retro game reviewer *straight up*
Also can't watch now. Will watch later with a bowl of cereal and milk 😙
I know... i still have to watch ep. 100
Do you guys have cereal with anything other than milk then?
The "is it fun" series of videos got me started on this channel. Good to see it return.
Not only is it going to return i plan on 50% or more of my upcoming videos being "Is It Fun?" episodes. I want to focus my channel more
It's always great to see you're back, and a pleasure to watch one more of your excellent videos! This one was funny, informative and really a joy to watch! Thank you once again!
Thank you! Glad the humor worked for you!!
When it's done right, it's absolutely refreshing! 😉
Hey is fantastic to have you back, super great video
Thank you! Super great comment
Glad to see you're getting back on with the videos!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hell yea! Another good video man. Glad to see you back. These are some of my favorite nes videos, and it’s clear you brought an extra flare to this one. Keep em coming!
Thank you for noticing.... no point in doing this half heartedly. I definitely approached this one with a different, devil may care attitude and i think it paid off... hopefully i can focus that vibe that going forward
My day always gets brighter when you drop a video. Thx man
Glad i can be a little ray of sunshine
It's obvious you put a lot of time and work into these videos and it shows. Awesome editing. Always refreshing to see a surprise NESComplex video in my subscription list.
Thank you for noticing. i really do pour myself into each one... a lot of people don't see it in their lists. Spread the word!
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for putting this game on my radar. I’ll have to check it out!
Thank you for noticing!
Always a great time watching your videos Chris!
Thanks!!! Love your user name! Awesome!
So glad to finally see a video of you popup on my feed! Missed you!
Awwwww thanks Blabbermouth
Hey Chris! Thanks for the video. Good morning and have a great day buddy.
Thank you!!!! You too! I'm off to record another video
The sounds you did at 1:32 & 1:35 made me have to rewind a few times. 😂
lol. Awesome!!!! Glad you got a laugh!!!
In 3rd grade in 1990 me and my best friend Al Twigg would play Heavy Barrel 2 player non stop...some of my best NES memories as a youth were of this game ...and he got a Sega Genesis that year and we would play Golden axe 2 player co-op too ...good times!!😁😁😁
Excellent video! Made me want to pickup Heavy Barrel now, looks great. 👍
oh... it's great! especially with a buddy
Fantastic review...your editing is perfect!
Thank you so much for noticing
Awesome video, love the "Is it fun"-series, mate!
(Marcel)
Thank you! I'm going to finish up some other projects i was working on and then focus completely on "Is It Fun?" for a while.
i literally just NDR this and heard u did a video lol. Awesome dude well done. Loved it
Weird timing. That’s funny! Sometimes the planets align!
I loved this game lol. Found it in the attic of an old house I moved to when I was little, that and the terrible Bible Adventures. What a day...but either way if you had a sibling are friend to play with Heavy Barrel was a good time.
It's definitely better together, but still fun alone
Heavy barrel Is a great game. Spent many hours playing it with my bros
Your videos are so entertaining. Keep up the good work, I've watched all your stuff.
Thank you! I truly appreciate it!
@@NESComplex enough with that history teaching nonsense. Time to review and play retro games full time!
Another great video. I never played this game back in the day. Love the Cigar!
Thanks! It’s cardboard and dryer lint. Lol. Homemade props are the best!!!!
Heavy Barrel doesn't get talked about enough. Great game!
I know! Seriously! People need to love this game more
I'm still so glad these are back! Such a good series
I'm going to focus more on Is It Fun? going forward... i have a few other projects im stoked about, but Is it Fun? is where is began and it needs to be the bread and butter of my channel
@@NESComplex you got patreon started? If not you should start one up so we can help out :)
@@theGumbleys Thank you! Very kind words! I do have patreon... but I don't push it.

Thanks for putting this game on my radar! As always, this was a solid video
No man! Thank YOU for everything!
Awesome review! You've convinced me to keep my eyes open for this one when I'm out and about!
Definitely check it out... especially if you have a player 2
That's how everyone walks when your breaking in red leather pants...i know
Hahaha!!! That’s funny!!
Great video, take your time and keep putting out content of this caliber.
I can only put in my best effort. Thank you for the kind words!
5:02 It looks like the armored vehicle from the movie Aliens. Great video. I love your job.
Absolutely loved this video !! Keep up the good work soldier
Hahaha Sir yes Sir!

This a great surprise! Keep making great videos!
Thanks Dave! Thanks for all you do for me! I'll try to be more on top of it!
You are one of the best! I don’t know how to tell you how much I appreciate you!
Well what you’re doing already means so much! The best helps are the simple things: watching the whole video, likes, comments, shares on Twitter and Facebook. I know you help in so many ways and it really truly means the world.

Thanks man! Good to see you too! I hope you’re doing well man!
Now this made my Saturday morning complete !

@@NESComplex good luck dude ! I know it will be great !
First video of yours I’ve seen for a while. For some reason UA-cam turned off notifications. Anyway, great video.
YOOOOOOOOUTUUUUUUUUBE!!!! Crampin my style
This was great! Love that elevator scene! May I suggest a Jackel review if you ever get the time? Keep up the great work! Now I’m off to grade all the papers I procrastinated working on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh... grading papers is my least favorite part of teaching... Thanks for the awesome comment
Oh snap! Great video!
Thanos snap? Thank you!
Nice brother. Can't wait for the next one👍
Working on it as we speak
WOO-HOO! My favorite Retro reviewer is BACK! So glad to see you again my friend! While I'm here, I'd like to ask that u review Rygar and Gauntlet if u get the time! Also, any more Time Machine videos in the future? Or..the past? >:) Keep it up buddy, hope everything is good!
Thank you! That means so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’ll see about Rygar. I’ve been considering it for a while. I have several other projects lined up first though
@@NESComplex Cool man! I'll be content with whatever!
Great vid as usual. Hey is that the shirt picked up on nes pursuit?
Good eye! YES it is! I knew it would come in handy eventually
Great video. I loved the Cosplay incorporated into it. I definitely enjoyed renting this back in the day. I don't think I got vary far but it was still fun
Thanks! It was fun to add that element to the mix
Fantastic stuff more please 😌
I have a few projects set up, but im gonna be focusing more on Is It Fun going forward
Yay this made my morning.
Thank you so very much!
Awesome job with the video! I’ll have to pick up Heavy Barrel now. I love so many of the NES games that you can simply pick up and have fun for a short while and not have to invest 100 hours on.
Me too.... im too old for those monster marathon games
Totally agree!
Nice!!! Made me want to check it out!
It's worth a look for sure
Thank you for uploading this! Heavy Barrel is a damn good game!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad we agree
Super awesome game. It doesn’t get the love it should. Great job on the video sir!!! Your videos are very informative and great to watch. Keep up the great work sir!!!
Thanks John! Thanks for watching and the awesome comment!
nice to see a new video bud!
Thank you! And thanks for watching
I love that faux cigar. Genius!
Hey Spencer... it's cardboard and dryer lint. lol
great video
keep it up bro
good work
gonna keep on keeping on... as they say Thanks John
Always love to see when you've put up a new video. My buddy and I used to play this when we were kids. It's fun enough for 2 players, but probably C-Tier compared to better 2 player games. The thing that I remember the most is the unintelligible "REEEE BARAAHHH!" when you get all of the pieces of the Heavy Barrel.
I should’ve highlighted the Reeee Baraahhh. Lol.
I still can't figure out what they are trying to say, nearly 30 years later.
Heavy Barrel! my first NES games.
...and a good one to get you rolling too
Your videos are awesome complex and red guy walks like Mr krabs on spongebob
Hahaha! He does!!!!
I remember trying this game for the first time a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I don't think I beat it though so I'll have to fire it up again soon. Great episode!
I did the same thing. I never gave it the full time it deserved. Now I love it
F yeah. Love the review. Hard work pays off.
Thanks Ryan! and Thank you for noticing
Welcome back you've been missed
I'm always here, just have a busy life... more to come Jim
Loved heavy barrel
Looks like it would fall in the Ikari Warriors series. Thanks for the review!
I really like the revieuwes you put up it feels like you really talk about experience the game we're morst retro game revieuwers take the popular route and making the same comments like Thay all are one. Keep making them videos and stay true to your experience becos that is wat people wil appreciate. I know I do :)
Thank you! I’m on it! Plugging away over here
Shared, subscribed, and liked! Why? Because your videos are awesome and fun to watch :) thank you for the entertainment.
You have no idea how much that means to me! I work insanely hard on these and it means that world... truly
Holy crap your back again he’ll ya
I never leave... i just gear up for another volley
New subscriber here. Awesome video. Never heard of this game before. Going to try to find it now!
Thank you!!!! Welcome to the little channel. Wooooo hoooooo. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@NESComplex I really did. My friend Generation Gap Gaming told me about you. So glad he did. Your channel is very high quality and a welcome sight on youtube.
Yes! He’s awesome!!
@@NESComplex hes a good friend of mine! Glad you like his work.
Best nes videos period.
Best comment period! I appreciate it so much! Share the love... it would mean everything to me
Belter that Chris, really enjoyed it mate.
Thank you so much!!
Love these videos!
I have siblings, so if it’s cooperative, it is fun! 😏
Thank you! An Angel just said "Love these videos!" I'm so blessed
Another great video! Would you recommend Heavy Barrel arcade?
I haven't played it much, but i hear its very good as well
Another classic video !
and another classic comment! Thanks!
I played it the tape had a radleing noise but still works
well written and detailled review. i would cut back on the "funny" intersticials though
Nice video👌
Thanks Quack
Remember seeing this on the shelves back in the day, but I never got a chance to play it. Looks pretty legit to me. Although that second perimeter doesn't sound fun 😂. Thanks for the great review as always.
Thanks Triple G! By the way.... i love your vids too. Im bad about comments, but i'm a fan
2:43 The nightmare I will have tonight.
Sweet video. Is it fun is a great way to review games.
Thank you! I'm going to finish up some other projects i was working on and then focus completely on "Is It Fun?" for a while.
@@NESComplex Awesome. Cant wait.
Data East recycled music a lot in their games -- Midnight Resistance immediately comes to mind. I've owned this game for quite a while, but I've never put a whole lot of time into it. I'm more familiar with the arcade version. I should pop it back in soon. Great video, man!
Thank you Wes! You da man! #respect
glad to see a new 'is it fun', and I agree with you. it is a fun game. 2 player smack talk adds too it. I will from this point on always refer to red guy as Ron Swanson
Bwahahahaha... he finally has a name!
Coincidentally I picked up a copy of this yesterday. One thing. Why did Data East hate “attract screens” or “demo modes”? Just a static screen with music when you turn it on. Same with Karnov. Sometimes I just like to have a game on in the background with a nice demo. Top 10 Attract Screens has a nice ring to it....
I noticed that too. When i capture footage i always wait to see if there are any cool cut scenes or whatever... nothing... i just sat there like a tool... waiting lol
This is an old game worth looking for for your games rooms
It's nice to see OGLF comments, but it's funny because when i get them i have to reread them... They're so poorly written (like SIlly and Che speak) that my initial assumption is that the poster is a moron. lol. But it actually shows your brilliance
I think it's a good game. And I agree with everything you said. I forgot I did a let's play on it a few years ago!
Complexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx hype! I love it !!great vid
You have such soft comments. Like Riffo
@@NESComplex ur amazing maaaa Mann!!
Great review man! Glad to see you reviewed a game I never played, I think I'll pick this one up. But the real question I have... is that a toilet paper or paper towel roll cigar?
Well it’s cardboard from an ink cartridge box and dryer lint. Lol
Wow! Never heard of it until now! Looks like my type of game. How did this get under my radar?
I’m hearing that a lot! So many amazing games in the NES library
What is that music at the end?
It’s from the Japanese version of Castlevania three. The Famicom had extra channels for a richer sound
Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. Welcome back mate 👍
No worries my dude! Thanks for watching. As long as you get those laughs and nostalgic feels I’m happy
I played a bootleg version of this with my brother, where the player sprites were changed to Chip and Dale rescue rangers. It was heavy af
That's awesome and hilarious! I want that version
Nes complex is freakin awesome!!!!!!!!
Thanks Erik! You're Freakin AWESOME!!!
Great video,makes me want to smoke a cigar!
Well mine was cardboard stuffed with dryer lint. I wouldn’t recommend smoking that. Lol
never heard of this game :) looks kinda fun
Trust me. It is
After all these years, I don't think I've ever played this game once. I'll have to rectify this soon.
Definitely. I discovered it recently too
I picked hevy barrel up for $10 about 3 months ago. I still have to find 500 more games to have them all. I'll have to settle for a reproduction of world championship.
Hello, Chris!
Hello, Bob!
This whole time I thought Heavy Barrel was like Ikari Warriors. Good to know I was wrong.
Oh... so much better!!!
