Wow, this feels like eight completely unrelated games strung together! I remember seeing screenshots in a magazine back in the day but I never saw the game in action before now!
I recognize Lipps Inc.'s "Funkytown" during the jungle chase portion, and I feel like I ought to recognize the other music clips, particularly when you're on the pirate ship saving Cheri. Anybody able to identify them? This is one of those puzzlers that I'll only figure out ten years from now, a eureka moment waking me from a sound sleep and a really good dream at 3 am...
I'm surprised they didn't get sued by Lucas film for the Star Wars\Obi-wan "Let go" sound in the beginning. Still a great classic game though and a blast to play today.
Thank you for sharing this game I played the arcade game when it was new it is not very known people have thought I was crazy when I talked about it thinking it never did exist like a lot of things I know. I even forget the title sometimes.
I like the “BOOMbaddabaddabaddaBOOMbaddabaddabaddah!!” chant the cannibal does. Also the “HELP ME” scream sounds almost identical to the ones in Konami’s Jail Break and Rock ‘n Rage. I guess maybe they used a similar speech chip or something.....
You know what I love even more? That it wasn’t edited when it came out on PS4, Switch and Xbox One. Any other time, it would have been rendered unrecognizable from its original form.
I'm convinced a remake of this game would work if they just leaned on the cheesiness and the rough artwork. You know, have the sprites be made of construction paper and have them stiffly move around like in a stop motion television special.
1.This game makes history, because this is the first game that have a continue feature 2.The only character that i liked in this game is the glaring cyan cloud
Interestingly the music at 7:50 is very similar to a song by Cusco. Compare it to this: ua-cam.com/video/UytS-xMWHu8/v-deo.htmlsi=KAxc2fhrnVQDqgBK&t=50 What's odd is that song came out in 1992, although Cusco had been around since 1980, a year prior to this video game's release, and I have no idea what their first two albums were like. Maybe this song was on there. Or maybe in a strange twist, the band was inspired by the game.
Yeah, ok... Funkytown, funny voices... but are we all just going to ignore that this dude traveled at least 9,000 kilometers (1/3 of that _on foot_ ) to save this girl?
They should remake this game into a film. It would probably star the Rock and Emily Blunt as the Rock must take on pirates, dinosaurs, cannibals, and helicopters in his search for his loved one, culminating in the final climatic battle on the London Bridge where he must guide the helicopter's own anti-aircraft gun to kill the helicopters themselves! Riveting!
@@TobeyStarburst Look up: Space Dungeon Astro Blaster Bosconian Venture and Jump Bug. Also look up VIctory, which came out a year later. Development began in '81.

I wonder if they chose to use “Funkytown” just to be funny because it seems like an area very far away from any sort of town. Or maybe I’m just reading into things too much.
@@dingdongism Does every comment have to be a serious discussion of the "save the helpless damsel" trope? Aren't we allowed to say things in jest maybe? :)
@@Bunnellius Personally, I'm pretty tired of being in a culture where hating women is this casually accepted. You're "allowed" to do whatever you want, but that reasoning is childish and dumb and you know it. You're allowed to piss into a cup and drink it for breakfast. That doesn't mean it's a good idea.
@@dingdongism A: the pixelated abstractions in a 1981 arcade game have little to do with real life for me. B: I'm not a guy. C: I was obviously talking about the sound design in the game, to which that absurd "ahhhhhhhhh!" likely came out of my speakers in a particularly grating way the day that I wrote that comment (it was 5 years ago, so memory is dim). That said, you're entitled to ride around on rocinante and fight whatever battles you see fit, but I'm not going to pliantly submit to your tangential brow beatings. Have a lovely day~
@@Bunnellius I never said you were a guy? Also, for just a comment you made "in jest," you sure do have a detailed explanation/rationalization. Sometimes when I do that I reflect a bit and realize that maybe the thing I said was in fact rooted in something unsavory like sexism or racism. But your comment seems to suggest that you are above that. Maybe you are, and it's just the rest of us humans that allow the gross shit we're all socialized in every day to make its way into our thinking. Good for you, I guess.
To make it look more close to what playing a perfect game would look like. And really, no one wants to sit through HOURS of a person getting killed over and over / restarting.
@@JinzoCrash That's correct! Most people who comment about OCRG "cheating" miss the entire point of these videos, which is to show people the entire game.
“How are you?”
“I’m fine, thank you.”
“a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a”
That voice "acting" is still better than... most dubbed anime/games...

I've been looking for this game for 30 years, I played it at an arcade in a trailer on wheels, I was 12 years old at the time. Thank you.
You can play it again with the SNK 40th anniversary collection
I was playing this on SNK 40th Anniversary Collection and I was like Holy shit that's Funkytown.
Same. I was playing this today after buying it on sale for $27.
Same here
Same, thought I was the only one who noticed.
What a riveting dialogue at 1:23.
Yeah, Anakin and Padme had more romantic dialogue!
AAAAAAAAAAAAH

Let go
If that dude had been standing closer to her when talking he could have stopped all this happening
And how about 10:03.
Damn. This game's pretty amazingly elaborate for that time.
o___o
So many screens... I really loved it as a child playing in Peveragno, Italy
Wow, this feels like eight completely unrelated games strung together! I remember seeing screenshots in a magazine back in the day but I never saw the game in action before now!
This game was at the skating rink at Holmes County State Park in Mississippi in 1983. That is the only reason I ever knew it existed.

What about when you're traveling through the jungle where the tiger only kills you if you are near the mouth? And the Tree Things?
You’ve got two more years! We’ve got some content you can check out in the meantime!
3:30 what in the hell is that sound the monkey makes? What were they thinking?!
What's wrong with it?
Can't tell which is funnier-- this sound or the eponymous character's "roar" in Donkey Kong, which came out the same year.
It sounds like a stoner waking up
I'm surprised they didn't get sued by Lucas film for the Star Wars\Obi-wan "Let go" sound in the beginning. Still a great classic game though and a blast to play today.
Once that random helicopter nabs her, I would’ve been like, “That’s it, bitch, you’re on your own.”

I love how the jungle theme is a blatant rip off of Funky Town.
Actually a loop of a section in.

I would watch it for sure LOL
1:27: Game Start
I left this video running in the background and it scared the crap out of me at 1:23
Wasn't this really advanced for 1981?
Not aside from the voices
@@thedillestweed2644 you sure?

This game is intense for 1981
I saw this game decades ago but could never remember what it was called. I just remember it being incredibly unfair.

3:05 That sounds like someones stomach grumbling...
10:04: Stage Clear
How is this from 1981? It looks and sounds like it's from 1983 at least. SNK was really on their A game even way back then.
レバー一つだけであそばせてくれたSNKに感謝🎉

It's like infinite lives like Super Mario Bros., a NES game in 1985, but the first level is cheating.
