...Deathless. There were a few times during the run that I was angry at because he took rooms that took months of my childhood and finished them in mere seconds. ...Thank you Dana.
Room 43 will always be the BANE of my childhood. And he warped right past it! haha It took me literally 10 hours in total to beat that ridiculous room *without* fireballs (I ran out long ago). This guy makes the game look so easy. Mad props to the runner; this game is FAR from easy.
He is not kidding when he says that ChessNetwork has a really good run on his channel. It is one of my favorite runs of a game ever. It goes into a lot more info about how to get the best ending and it is a really fun watch. I highly recommend it if you like this game.
Aw man, this game... one of the first games I played as a kid. For ages I had no idea you could duck and destroy blocks, so it took months to get past the third level. I still remember the intense frustration of being stuck, and the joy of *finally* figuring it out.
Had Solomon’s key as a kid. It was one of the only games that I was unable to complete even though I enjoyed it and played often. In the pre-internet era every 10 year old kid was on his own against games like this. So to see this level of skill is very impressive!
I played this as a kid and it was one that my mom really enjoyed. I just told her about this and how I saw a guy get 2 rooms further than I had ever seen in the game in under 3 minutes.
I only beat this game with game genie and with infinite fireballs and lives. I never knew there was warps. It was a very slow slog leaving the system on for days possibly weeks
Unbelievable! When I was a kid I did make it to room 45 and that was it.. After seeing this my game just jumped to a 10 so can not wait to play.. Thank you Dana.
I used to have this game on NES. I recently picked up the arcade version on switch and got to level 30 which is as far as I’ve ever made it in 25-30 years. I had no idea there were warps in this game.
Damn. This game reminds me of something i‘ve played when I was little. Pretty sure it was some kind of knock off. It‘s exactly the same game mechanics but there were more gems and more levels (i think). You play as some kind of wizzard with a long white beard. Does anyone know that game?
King Solomon. This game is referencing the actual “Key of Solomon” spell book from the Italian Renaissance. Dana is putting back the 72 bound spirits of King Solomon.

This.
This.
This is a very nice run to listen to because you periodically get the crowd shouting THANK YOU DANA, it makes for a very cheerful atmosphere.

I did own this game as a kid and still have the cartdrige. I´ve tried so many times, but never could beat it. This run is just insane.
Thank you UA-cam for randomly recommending this to me. A solid run that I would have never checked out otherwise.

Classy run. This is a rock hard game and takes no prisoners. This game gave me so much pain & pleasure old the old NES back in the day. :)
Bro, that was incredible! I've never actually beat this damn game, it was always such a pain in the ass. I'm in awe
Run starts at 00:42.

Thank you Dana
Seriously! This game is well designed and a really difficult challenge, but once you've solved it, it's a piece of cake with expected results.

Very hard game.I've tried several times,but no luck for me) Thanks to the metroidmcfly for the run.
Thank you Dana.
Its hard not to be impressed with this run.
What a cool little game.
There is a lot more to it. This used warps and no secrets so there is 5-10x more content in the game.
Great run, very deceptively hard game from my childhood.
Impressive run from a chill runner! Nice job, Mcfly!
30 years later I'm just learning that there are warps. How in the world did I never goto Gamefaqs for this game!? Gah, would've shaved off 15 years.
Damn metroidmcfly on fire, what a run!
To see a game I couldn't even get through as a kid beaten like it's nothing is pretty aweinspiring.
THANK YOU DANA
(That was awesome.)
THANK YOU DANA
Congrats again, glad you had a great run (the practice helped!)

Solomons Key : Depicted from the lesser key of solomon
When I was a kid I smashed my controller over Level 5
Unbelievable! When I was a kid I did make it to room 45 and that was it.. After seeing this my game just jumped to a 10 so can not wait to play.. Thank you Dana.
Super hard game. Nice run
Neat game! Great run. Thanks for running it!

Thank you Dana!?!
oh I love solomon's key
The warp wing is exactly like the warp wings in Dragon Warrior Monsters for Gameboy
Omg u made it look so easy i could never make it past lvl12
wow. never seen the end of this room, never knew about warp, never got that far.
9:30 shoutouts to ChessNetwork, was trying to remember where I'd seen this game before
Its 13:59 seconds.
Amazing

You may have played the sequel, "Fire 'n Ice"
This game used to drive me nuts when I was a kid! Couldn't get past room 32!
I've never actually seen this game played. It made me weirdly happy seeing the Jewish star on the title screen. Interesting theming.
This is confusing to me because my sister's name is Dana, but it's pronounced "DAN-a" in her case....
But wait, if the character is named Dana, then who is Solomon?
PsychicSkitty the owner of the key obviously
King Solomon. This game is referencing the actual “Key of Solomon” spell book from the Italian Renaissance. Dana is putting back the 72 bound spirits of King Solomon.
Holy shit...
Yea but did you finish this game as a 7 year old with no internet?
Is this legit? I am so impressed by this.
What THE FUUUUCKKK! How the fuck is he doing any of this?
Level 30 is the worst.
i could probably get to level 3, haha.
Ps5 should remake the game
