Anyone who appreciates this game, consider playing Barbuta! It's one of the 50 retro-inspired games in UFO 50 and it clearly takes a lot of cues from this game, much like La-Mulana
see here youngsters, this is 100% gameplay and fun...not like most games nowadays where there is like 90% cutscenes. This was one of my most favorite game in my childhood.
This is not a game, that's a work of art, to say the least. Beautifully played, a joy to watch. Thank you for taking the time to master it, and to make it available here! Have you ever found something new on this game that isn't displayed on this video?
this was for me maybe the best game of that time period. nightmare 2: the maze of galious. also played kings valley 2, nemesis 1,2,3, salamander, metal gear 1, 2 these i liked the most of the msx games from konami they also sounded the best of all games with that music chip inside the cartridge
@@JuanSinMiedo441 of course F1 spirit i forgot we played that many times till the end, and i sometimes still play those titles on my pc with an emulator
Thank you so much. I played and loved this game when i was a kid... And the only item i was missing to complete the game was the holy cross... I didn't know where it was and how to get it, so THANK YOU coz i just succeed obtaining it :) Amazing way of playing you have... :) God bless †
So this is the game that gave beautiful inspiration to La-Mulana, eh? I can absolutely see the resemblance. Hell, comparing the two's art styles are almost identical.
I wish I would've have this video back in the 80's when my and my friends spent tens, maybe hundreds of hours with this game. We never couldn't find 2 items, just can't remember which ones. One of the best games all time.
Hello, I'm playing this game but I couldn't get the sword at this point as in the picture! Why does the sword appear to you and not appear to me? Is there a reason? How to get it?
To be quite honest, it has 6 assistant programmers, 4 graphic artists and 1 musician, for a total of 11 people. 11 people was a shitload of people working on a home computer game for 1987 standards. I actually am always surprised by how many people worked on Konami MSX games, no wonder they were so good. Most MSX games from other teams were made by like 3 to 5 people. (In many cases, they were all made by a single person, heh)
Defeat all the bats in this room (near the necklace and the grey helm) , then jump on the lift and press: Right, Down, Left, Up. After you've got it type the code Umbrella (how odd) in a room with bats and watch!
The MSX reverb that the computer was known for really adds a lot of depth to the tracks. Especially the shrine and boss room themes (when you're trying to summon the boss). The reverb makes the latter sound a lot more intense. And the ending theme sounds a lot better in C Major than in B Major. Reasons like this are whey the MSX original is vastly superior.
Did people discovered back then how to obtain the dagger and vase by themselves? Or is it that the devs revealed the secret? Or maybe is it that the first person to discovered how to get them got his hands in the code? Because it looks impossible without some sort of help.
Jesus i try to play this gem on my bluemsx emulator but i have one problem :/ i can't jump left! is that some kind of a rom bug or something? or i have to do a crazy keyboard command for just jumping left... please i would appreciate so much if you could helped me.... i tried to download different roms but the problem stills goes on xd... Please i'm desperate i really want to beat this game. it looks really fun.
It's most likely a limitation of the keyboard. Because of simple hardware design, many keyboards have an issue causing keys to be pressed when multiple keys are pressed. For example cursor keys up and left pressed together with space will cause one of the pressed keys to get cancelled out. In your case, it seems the cursor up gets cancelled out in this situation. You should be able to jump by pressing up, even while walking left or right.
i do jump xd but the detail is that i press up and it jumps to the right... even if i'm not pressing the right button... so i try to jump left by pushing up and left at the same time... and it just jumps straight up... nor left or right... so i rage quit everytime i want to figure out how to jump correctly... ugh... is there a way to fix this? or what? i'm really mad about it :/
@@jesusvergel9288 Just remap the controls, fire 1 and fire 2, Z and X. It may work for jump in both directions. If not, remap the fire 1 and 2 to other keys.
Thank you guys for the answers, a little bit late my response though xD but yeah @Toni Galvez that's exactly what i did, thank you, and also that my keyboard has certain limitations, but all good xD thanks both of you
This is my favourite game too from my childhood! :) I'm just wondering one thing. I managed somehow to get a shorter cap on the enemy-gauge-thing that makes your life get to its fullest level again. But, it appears that there is no item in the game that does this. So, I think I managed to do it by playing with the password-system. Anyone else managed to do this too?
If you ask me that’s not a full walkthrough because you didn’t hit pause and waited until the guy fell in the toilet ;) Not complete without that animation
+Santiago Ontanon You played the game on a European system, I assume? European systems used the PAL standard, which is 50hz, while the original NTSC standard is 60hz -- and since most Japanese games weren't optimized when they were released in Europe, they played at 5/6 the original speed. So basically, this footage isn't sped up -- rather, the version of the game you played was slowed down. ;)
+Wyrdwad Hmmm, you might be right. But I think that is very unlikely though. I did indeed play with an European system (a PHILIPS VG8020), but I just checked with the MSX emulator, and this seeps sped up a bit more than just a 20% more. But in any case, what makes me doubt this is the case is that the Z80 CPU is the same in all MSX1 computers (regardless of being Japanese or European), and that games back then did usually not rely on refresh rate to adjust game speed (although that is a common programing strategy nowadays, since we all have machines with different specs), but just relied on all computers having the same CPU. But again, even if I find this unlikely, of course, I might be wrong, and what you say is the right explanation :)
Santiago Ontanon I'm pretty sure I'm correct on this, as I own a Panasonic FS-A1WX Japanese MSX2+ computer and a cartridge copy of this game, and it plays for me at exactly the same speed as shown in this video. On the other hand, I've seen video footage taken from PAL MSX systems that play it and other games at a slower speed (music and all), and also know that some popular MSX Let's Players on UA-cam like BanjoGuyOllie have stated before that they record their footage via emulator instead of from their actual hardware because their actual hardware would slow it down due to the PAL standard. As I understand it, European MSX systems *are* capable of playing games at standard NTSC speed, but it requires a little bit of software modification via MSX-BASIC, and will make your system incompatible with PAL TVs (until and unless you switch it back), so it's recommended only for Americans who purchase European MSX systems and intend to use them to play Japanese MSX games. ;)
+Wyrdwad I see. Ok, then I think that explains it. I guess it's just because I'm used to the slower speed now, but the game feels all rushed at this faster speed :)
Very good childhood memory at 7yrs also yes and already at 31:59 is only 7 items missing out of 30. Yes it's good with some password if you can't be a super player (:
+Ragna8859 Oh, no... The teleporting and 8 fireballs surrounding him are his attack. Every once in a while he'll raise his hand to throw 4 out of their orbit. Once those fireballs are gone, he won't raise his arm anymore. He will still teleport across the room.
+Ragna8859 The last boss doesnt do anything apart from make those balls fly around the screen. Being able to hurt the last boss requires finding the cross and when this game came out nearly 30 years ago it was fucking well hidden. No internet and no game guides were available you had to find it for yourself if you couldnt find it you couldnt finish the game.
@@kobax9999 Yep, there were metroidvania alike games before Metroid and Castlevania, as there are Soulslike games before Dark Souls. Maze of Galious is older than Vampire Killer (Castlevania predecessor), but follows the same paradigm. I know because I bought them both back in the day, and Vampire Killer didn't worked bc it required more memory than my MSX2 had :( I doubt if MoG was the first one, that's why I ask.
@@kobax9999 that does not return a clear answer. Maybe bc it's a matter of debate were to draw the line of the genre so let's listen player's opinions.
@@gustavosantos106 Actually this is was released in 1987, Vampire Killer was released in 1986. But Vampire Killer is not exactly a "Metroidvania". The first "Metroidvania" game was.... Metroid? :) I honestly always thought this game is a lot inspired by Legend of Zelda... an open world with 10 dungeons for you to find. But it's lay out as a platform game instead of a top-down action game.
If you want something that's very similar to MoG, I highly recommend La Mulana. Just be careful with the puzzles. They can drive you up the wall sometimes.

Amazing to see how much influence this game actually had on La-Mulana
The best video game of my childhood. Period.
+S Haddad yep same for me, did you also had kings valley 2, nemesis 1,2,3, salamander, metal gear2(whitch was on msx2)
axelfdennis yes I played them except the metal gear games
Same for me
Same
For me Kings Valley 2 & the castle & castle excellent were my favorite until now 👌😍

Yep. La-Mulana took a lot of inspiration from this game.
The most amazing game 😔😔. Thank you. I was used to buy any game made by Konami.
You are a genius, always with life to the limit haha, what memories, thank you !!!

Cuando Konami se divertia haciendo juegos y exprimia la MSX. Hermosos recuerdos
happy to watch all playthrough very satisfied !
Never played this game, but it looks like a game I would’ve really enjoyed back in the day. Catchy tune too!

Must have been the vase and the dagger. They were impossible.
great!!
This looks like it's right up my alley! :)

How to beat the rocks as the video?
I can say for certain that I would have LOVED playing this as a kid, if I ever had an option!
What a shame it wasn't ported to the NES.
It was,ported to the NES !!
@@begoviladell2970 Not NES. Famicom. Only released in Japan... and it's not as good.
The creator of Castlevania was inspired by this game to create Castlevania 2: Simons Quest.
Hello, I'm playing this game but I couldn't get the sword at this point as in the picture! Why does the sword appear to you and not appear to me? Is there a reason? How to get it?
Wao...watch the credits at the end, one single main programmer, talk about productive workers back in the days
Games were much simpler. Actually productivity has become the monster of today's work lives
To be quite honest, it has 6 assistant programmers, 4 graphic artists and 1 musician, for a total of 11 people.
11 people was a shitload of people working on a home computer game for 1987 standards. I actually am always surprised by how many people worked on Konami MSX games, no wonder they were so good.

Why does a sword appear to you at the 8:50 minute as in the published video, and it does not appear to me, and what is the way to get it?
Sorry i’m 8 months late but it’s called umbralla. I forgot how to obtain it but you need to do a sequnce of actions
Defeat all the bats in this room (near the necklace and the grey helm) , then jump on the lift and press: Right, Down, Left, Up. After you've got it type the code Umbrella (how odd) in a room with bats and watch!
Owww the music... So awesome and epic

The reverb makes the latter sound a lot more intense. And the ending theme sounds a lot better in C Major than in B Major. Reasons like this are whey the MSX original is vastly superior.
Is there a map in this maze?
I never played it but I just watched the full play through. A lot of other Konami game is in this. Specifically kings valley 2
最強の名作だなっ。
1:08:34 “APHRODITE ME BOI!”
Did people discovered back then how to obtain the dagger and vase by themselves? Or is it that the devs revealed the secret? Or maybe is it that the first person to discovered how to get them got his hands in the code? Because it looks impossible without some sort of help.
Some people looked at the byte code in the rom and figured it out.
At least you can beat the game without the Vase or the Dagger.
I wonder how people found out about the Golden Cross without a guide.
I used to watch a friend who owned an MSX play this game. At the time I only owned an Atari 2600 myself.
40:52 Took me days to find that ...
What software did you use to record the game?
Used to have nightmares when I played this as a kid... :)
Can't blame you about it.
This game truly does feed imagination.
wow how sensitive
最近、このBGMを定期的に聴きたくなる
