I cant stop play this game over and over because of it. Also logical director is genious! He made amazing traps and quests. I complete this game over 10 times with 99 lifestocks and all equips.
@@buoyancydabl I had a weird obsession with this game when I was a kid, I must have hired it out at least 6 times but I could never get past Greenmaze because someone else would always hire the game in the interim and overwrite my save. :(
I believe these levels were design to zone us out trying to it out. I had just joined the Army bought me a TV, Stereo and Genesis. Bought a bunch of games but this one got most playtime sitting in the barracks 😂
I have the Climax logo, (Friday the fairy), tattooed on my left forearm. This is my favorite game of all time, and to see a TAS of it is beyond bad ass. I can't do a statueless run in less than 2 hours... this is amazing.
This is my all time favorite game for Sega Genesis, I remember getting this game back in 1993 when it barely game out, I was only like 4 or 5 at the time, I didn't see a single commercial for it or anything I just remember seeing it on the self and it caught my attention. I was little when I first started to play it, and ofcourse I couldn't read yet lol so didn't know what I was doing at all it took me years to finally beat the game and I mean didn't beat it will 2002 lol I had played the game on and off over the years and would just memorized what I had to do. I actually played this game before I even heard of Legend of Zelda, I honestly feel in love with Legend of Zelda because it reminded me of this game lol even though Zelda came out years before. I wish they would remaster this game with modern graphics and game play but ofcourse most will just compare it to zelda lol.
POPINCONEJO88 this is exactly my story when it comes to this game and I feel the same way. Someone should get their hands on the rights to this game and do a modern platform remake
I have been watching TASes for about 8 years now. This is the first one in a LONG time to make me squee. THANK YOU for running one of the most nostalgic games of my childhood!
simply sensational, it was my favorite childhood game and it had never been zeroed and because I saw you reach the end I was really touched. You are to be congratulated for the incredible video. 🇧🇷 Love you
This is an incredible achievement based upon the isometric scale of the game alone. But I never was able to complete this game with all the hearts so I'm super looking forward to watching all of this.
The music in this game is underrated. I mean from really upbeat melodies to nightmare-inducing music...like 20 years later I'm still haunted by that first-level cave music...
Those trees have a fixed height, which is much higher than Nigel's jump height. If you look at that section, he throws the animal, jumps off the NPCs head, landing on the animal in mid air, then jumps again to get over the trees.
The perspective is perfectly good, my only complain about the game is the lack of shadows so it's kinda difficult to see some objects position, but it's a rare problem. Other than that, it's an amazing game for the Genesis. The developers made Alundra, a similar game to this for the Play Station, the perspective is a little bit different (45 degrees rotated) and they fixed the shadow problem.
Amazing, but how does the battle with fahl work? 1:47:14-1:48:48 Is that a magic pixel? Fahl often cheats on me by striking after being defeated in a round, I can only beat him with the sword of gaia.
This game looks and feels just like Alundra, but with an isometric view and a harder to see through perspective Fun fact: Most of the developers of Landstalker worked on Alundra later on, that's why they look so similar ;)
Why do you obtain the fire sword yourself? Much like the Casino Ticket at 1:58:39 I'm fairly sure an enemy drops it after the Crypt if you didn't visit the soldier's house earlier in the game. Is it needed to save time in the previous dungeon?
I was thinking the exact thing about the shadows and how it is a problem to know where in the air you are. As you said it's fixed in the beautiful spiritual sequel Alundra :)
Well, if you're not used to isometric view, I understand you can be disturbed by this video, but I assure you, when you play the game, it is not a problem, at worst, you need 5 minutes to fully get used to it. Many games from the early 1990s used this kind of view, but Landstalker is the one using it best.
Well, there is one major drawback to how the controls work. If you individually hit any of the 4 directions, you will only walk in two directions. You have to hit diagonal to set it in the opposite axis, or just constantly use diagonal to move in the direction you want, which is harder than it sounds on an old genesis controller, especially in one of those parkour-esque parts of the game. If they had just assigned each direction to a direction the the game and left it that way, it would've been far more enjoyable. Up should always go north-west or always north-east, it shouldn't shift, and that weird two direction problem just made Nigel feel clunky and hard to move. It also helps to play it on an emulator, but I originally played this on my old Genesis.
Me and my brother used to ask the dude in the rental shop if anyone had got past the riddles. Took ages but someone cracked it and we continued that save file! Only to immediately get stuck again.
I caught myself whistling it the other day, it took me a good 10 days to remember where it came from. I definitely agree with you, this music has an awesome taste of adventure!!!
In 93 i was 20 and i really liked this game, it was kinda short took me like 20 hours not like this video he blitzed everything. Thx for reminding me off my youth.
You guys may know it, but in the german version of Landstalker for example Nigel loses all the money. It's all gone at the end. That's why you can see here raining coins and then it's all black. ...
Ah, 90s RPGs; where an antagonist could kidnap a teammate standing right next to you and then have the courage to stand right in front of you for the trade. LOL
The guy who recorded this video can't either. TAS means "tool-assisted speedrun". This run took in reality much more than 2 hours, and required the help of many people (see the link in the description). Maybe you already know that, but your comment seems to say that you don't so I thought I might explain why this video is not really that amazing. But still very fun to watch, and still impressive when you realize the amount of work behind it.
Something I've been looking for in this game has to do with Gumi (the village where the sacrifice is taking place) there's a cave entrance visible below the village in the bottom right. I could never find a way in there despite completing the game a bunch of times. Does anyone know what's in there or how ro get there?
the original skyrim - without quest marker and with completely stupid problems with super cryptic solutions. i remember loving and hating this game as a kid. i could not pass the town. the guides back then told me "visit every house and talk to every person". yeah sure, no, but thanks for wasting 5h of my life back then. twice. :D i should probably give this another go. its really cool.
This is a TAS run. In that specific room you literally have just not attack for about 15 seconds to beat it. The Tool Assisted Speedrun just put in some directional inputs that are impossible for a human to replicate at the speed it does. Looks awesome though lol
My sister had played this game but I was never into it because I suck at role-playing games until I looked at you tube and now I have gotten better at some role-playing games but don't have this one
One thing at the beginning they will probably even kill me yeah that really will help him find the treasure number one mistake kill someone with info lose most traces and hope huh
In the churchs, but the way is different in this is game then other adventure, you need to get a blue book inside the church & place it in front of the priest then you can save your game

i know it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online?
I believe these levels were design to zone us out trying to it out. I had just joined the Army bought me a TV, Stereo and Genesis. Bought a bunch of games but this one got most playtime sitting in the barracks 😂
It's not done by a human, but by setting it up with an automatic mouse, isn't it?

You may play Alundra
I had this game to. I was so into this game I use to call the 900 line 😆👍🏾
I haven't played this game since I was around 10, brings back such great memories ^_^ Well played
Some of the best Genesis music I've ever heard. How did I never know about this game until now?
Simple, lack of publicity. I was able to play it only because it belonged to a friend of my brother. Never met anyone else who knew of it.
I have been watching TASes for about 8 years now. This is the first one in a LONG time to make me squee. THANK YOU for running one of the most nostalgic games of my childhood!
Anyone else remember going into the church and stacking books into a staircase, then jumping from the top?
I didn't realize how much of an awesome game this is until I saw it again all grown up. What an excellent game!
Fantastic game, what a soundtrack! I played it in 1993 and since then I'm in love with it!
This is so wild. I loved this game as a kid and never got further than you did like, ten minutes in. I never realised how huge it was!!! Thank you
simply sensational, it was my favorite childhood game and it had never been zeroed and because I saw you reach the end I was really touched. You are to be congratulated for the incredible video. 🇧🇷 Love you

"Ballet Studio" OH MY YOUNG NAIVE MIND.
and censorship
Friday has a dirty mind.
@@oldcat1790 “Madam Yards Pink Palace” (brothel) was renamed “Ballet Studio” for North America and Europe.
Wow, this was my favorite game on Genesis, I beat it a dozen times, but this video just walked through some levels that takes me hours 👍🏿
The music in this game is underrated. I mean from really upbeat melodies to nightmare-inducing music...like 20 years later I'm still haunted by that first-level cave music...
WTF this trick at 17:45 to enter inside the cave ... crazy.
asking the same

Oh my jesus. has exactly 206g to buy lifestock, thats when it hit me how well planned this run was. Insane.
It's a TAS
Never heard of this, looks freakin great!
soooooo better than boring Zelda 3.
best sega game ever
I think I would agree with that. Which is why it's so strange that so few people have heard of it.
Streets of rage 2 would like a word with you.
For me this and Shining Force 2 are the best.
The perspective is perfectly good, my only complain about the game is the lack of shadows so it's kinda difficult to see some objects position, but it's a rare problem. Other than that, it's an amazing game for the Genesis.

this game is epic for its era.
the best game ever
Loved this game for sure.
That greenmaze part was too satisfying omg
One of my absolute fav games of all time.
THE BEST MEGADRIVE GAME EVER!! ¡EL MEJOR JUEGO DE MEGADRIVE DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS!
what a great piece of game art. Very memorable.
Really amazing job, congrats to the player ! 👍👍👏👏
Holy shit, man! You're awesome!
The sense of achievement beating this game ... delicious!
this game takes me back to 90s, those carefree summer nights...
Amazing, but how does the battle with fahl work? 1:47:14-1:48:48 Is that a magic pixel? Fahl often cheats on me by striking after being defeated in a round, I can only beat him with the sword of gaia.
I've wanted to see an official TAS/Speedrun of Landstalker for a good long time. Definitely saving this to watch later!
I don't understand the part at 1:56:14. Why does he get intoxicated on purpose? Is that so he can trigger the glitch with Friday a few moments later?
This game looks and feels just like Alundra, but with an isometric view and a harder to see through perspective
Fun fact: Most of the developers of Landstalker worked on Alundra later on, that's why they look so similar ;)
If you like those two games, also check out Dark Savior for the Saturn!
Why do you obtain the fire sword yourself? Much like the Casino Ticket at 1:58:39 I'm fairly sure an enemy drops it after the Crypt if you didn't visit the soldier's house earlier in the game. Is it needed to save time in the previous dungeon?
No enemy drops the magic sword. It is possible to trigger a glitch where one of the magic trees will drop it.
OMG I remember playing this game 😍
I was thinking the exact thing about the shadows and how it is a problem to know where in the air you are. As you said it's fixed in the beautiful spiritual sequel Alundra :)
I never thought I'd see a tas of that game in my lifetime :o
I loved it when I played it back then, never made it to the end tho :

Did anyone ever figure out if it was possible to get the anti-paralyze item outside of that special Mercator shop?
Damn, I never got past finding the snow spikes. Parts of this game were hard as hell for a kid back in '94.
Me and my brother used to ask the dude in the rental shop if anyone had got past the riddles. Took ages but someone cracked it and we continued that save file! Only to immediately get stuck again.
Amazing TAS. Still why you walk into tree on 19:56? It's 5 extra seconds and you dont need it because you'll be there on 1:10:22.
35:01
anyone know where can I find any extra keys?
I reach here and got stuck in this part because I don't have any keys.
Why the farming at 1:23:20?
Wouldn't it have been more efficient to just hit the ball-throwing game in Mercator before heading to Varla?
Jacob Stocker He did hit it, there is a limit to how many games you can play.
This game was so good at giving an adventure Vibe! ive not feelt in other games closest came zelda.
It brings back so many memories 😭❤
remember playing this in 1995, i was 12...
4:14, 4:32 - nice start
5:51 - lol, HOW???
7:08 - epic secret for newbie
7:12 - superelf
10:31 - fatal taxi
11:48 - nice cheat
13:07 - isn't that the program plays?
To be honest I like the Japanese artwork for this game than the American artwork. Plus this is one of those lovely hidden gems for the Sega Genesis
memories. thanks!
Can't believe my eyes, you are a professional!
It's a TAS
Love this game, play it on my switch all the time
46:25 The hardest part of the entire game
green maze, lake shrine, much worse
The jump and slash is so good in this game
Legendary, yes. Gathering snacks, I've only seen parts of this before.
This game was one of my first. After almost thirty years, this still has one of the greatest scores in vg history.
Will you get the side lifestock later, after the mountains?
E: my dumb ass it's 5g in there!
The chicken lineup! Score!
Cut right through the water shrine. The magic moments are really mindblowing.
M.T. Pockets! Ride the chicken 💀💀
2:18 probably my favorite gaming music of all time for me.
I caught myself whistling it the other day, it took me a good 10 days to remember where it came from. I definitely agree with you, this music has an awesome taste of adventure!!!

I don't understand the puzzle at 49:37. How the hell are you supposed to know attack a blank spot on the right side of the room?
You read the riddles andit gives you clues how to solve the puzzles.
That one tune that was in 7/8 with the bending bass notes around the 10:30 mark was sick AF.

I had a blast W this game!!!
Best Speed run!
I don't get the part at 1:39:17
it's awesome, and you get used to it after a while.
never heard of this game cO guess it wasn't available for snes?
My sister had played this game but I was never into it because I suck at role-playing games until I looked at you tube and now I have gotten better at some role-playing games but don't have this one
It honestly gives me huge Dragon Quest vibes, especially the music and feel of the world. It's like a mix of DQ and Zelda
One thing at the beginning they will probably even kill me yeah that really will help him find the treasure number one mistake kill someone with info lose most traces and hope huh
Watching the whole first cutscene only to realize I could've skipped it afterwards.... fml
Alundra?
Golds! It's the sequel to faxanadu!
17:34 - spoiler
A true classic gem of the genesis library. What other game can you find that has a brothel in it? lol.
Literally every final fantasy
Crap the blue ribbon 🤦🏻😐 I forgot to grab it now i can't since it has to be before the kidnapping and I'm in greenmaze getting the sunstone 🙄
man i loved this game
Bgm is similar to shining force 2

Lovely game but I hateeeeeee the controls..
1 time down is down, then its not down is down.... know what i mean? It keeps changing..
The controls don't change, you're supposed to use the diagonals on the d pad.
@@SonofSethoitae Well, my sega keeps doing it:/
@@Trancelistic I think your game or controller might be messed up then, I've never heard of that being a common issue
@@SonofSethoitae Its only in this game. up/down or diag up/down it changes.
What? A hours of attempts to make the precise jump? Over 9000 irritating mistakes? No. Just a real elvish being.
Nostalgia
Where the hell do you save in this game?
In the churchs, but the way is different in this is game then other adventure, you need to get a blue book inside the church & place it in front of the priest then you can save your game
