The Taito style and trademark. Same music plays for the whole game from the beginning to the end and you collect extend to get a life same as in Bubble Bobble. Great games both of them
I almost went crazy thinking I just made this game up. Had memories of playing a game where you played as a "Chicken" and saved baby chickens... The nostalgia hit HARD :D
I first came across this game in a football ground function room pub where my auntie had her wedding reception where this game was there. I just kept putting 10p after 10p. Was happy when I found this on taito legends years later.
How weird because when I was young the start of the intro it used to make me giggle because the kiwi was just chilled out smoking as I found it unusual at the time since most characters either smoked cigars or pipes.
I’m on vacation in Virginia Beach at a rental house, there’s an arcade machine here with 150 old games loaded on it. This is one of them. Knowing there’s this much to the game that I will never get too makes me kind of sad
I loved this game and bubble bubble I think it was called. I always thought it was kewi or something like. That's for the flashbacks. I'm glad I came across ur page
Just moved to New Zealand, this is pretty normal here. I remember having to attack these creatures and avoid the spikes on my hovercraft trying to get to Countdown
3:20 that’s a boomerang that’s Australian that’s about as bad as Australia claiming that Russell Crowe is Australian when he’s a Kiwi that immigrated to Australia
Thanks a lot for sharing this game I played a lot in my childhood but realy dont know the name of game now i know such a beautiful awesome game really thankful finally I find it again
We had this on the Taito Legends collection and my brother just could not figure out how to beat that whale. And I am now finding out that it's that easy. X'D (also I hadn't thought about this game in years, thank you TV Tropes for reminding me)
there is a spot we if you use the fire wound you can open a door which creates a loop and you can play for ever, when I was a kid I was spending entire afternoons with this arcade, which I could finish without any problem, even loosing on purpose to get the arrow in the head and go to the paradise and escape :D
I play this much before on the Arcade in my town, and I have try to get this game now, but all I have found is not the same as the Arcade was always something that missing sound? graphic or is not the same map's. where can I get the real arcade game?
Yes in 2021 I will see all the game from the beginning because I never finished P. S : This "cute" game is a nightmare... if you not know you make circles is a labyrinth...
@Carlos luis Bobadilla Thanx for the respond. Do you know if this particular edition is available on MAME? At this point, all I can find is this version (online, not in MAME): www.retrogames.cc/arcade-games/the-newzealand-story-world-newer.html
I feel like this game was invented by a Japanese guy who went to NZ once and was like 'I must share this beautiful southern Australian island with the world. Good thing I can use my tourist guide as a reference'

I love this game but Round 4-4 and the pirate ship quickly kill any enthusiasm I have for it when I reach them. Really not a fan of pixel perfect jumping and it's even worse with the arcade stick.

Am a Kiwi, can confirm this is an accurate representation of life in NZ. The similarities to my morning commute are spooky.
Mate since when would you have a boomerang in a game like this? that comes from the other side of the Tasman in my country Australia
LOL I live in the U.S. I stayed in NZ for about a month, and it was amazing.
Sounds fascinating!
Unless New Zealand has something like the boomerang
@@joshrees1985 It's just a kiwi that looks a lot like a boomerang, every single thing in new zealand is a kiwi, you just have to look hard enough
It's been decades since the last time I played this and it is incredible as as soon I watched the screen caption, the music instantly came to my head.
The Taito style and trademark. Same music plays for the whole game from the beginning to the end and you collect extend to get a life same as in Bubble Bobble. Great games both of them
This game is literally everything I know about New Zealand and I am already certain I want to move there.
same haha

Flicky?
Same hir, i remember the whale and the water drop, that's as far as i could get in the days.
You mean kiwi birds
I literally had this game on an arcade in my garage that I would spend hours on. It also had bubble bobble and other games.
How would you figuratively have it though?
My favorite game as a kid!!!! Thx for the upload. Oh, the memories…
you guys dont have idea how much i seach for this game
i can have it for you :)

Same, played it for 5 minutes in a marina in the early 90s and could never forget it.
I played it 94 and forget name so I find today after 30 years latter all time My favrat game
Finally someone who knows about New Zealand we never get talked about often and I'm a New Zealander so I can confirm
13 years and FINALLY I FOUND THIS GAME (i wasnt remember the name) wow this is my childhood
Same here I swear, I guess we got very lucky retrieving some nice childhood memories ❤
I’ve just spent all night looking for this game I can’t believe I’ve found it! And just brought it for four pound can’t wait for it to arrive
That just made me feel so nostalgic *_____*
I used to play this arcade when I was 8 at 1990 just next to my house. Great memories !!!!
I was 8 too in1990 :)
same in 1986
This is the first ever game I played, I’m now 18 and this is so nostalgic to me
I first came across this game in a football ground function room pub where my auntie had her wedding reception where this game was there. I just kept putting 10p after 10p. Was happy when I found this on taito legends years later.
I've never seen such a good for nothing final boss like this leopard seal
Wow! Yeah he sucked 😆
Don't know how many hours I've spend on this but it's probably 10% of my childhood
Thanks been looking for this! Only vaguely remembered it from my childhood.
Heh, I returned.
Finally after all of this searching I found a childhood game. =)
taito has so many interesting video games
I never noticed until AVGN pointed it out that one of those kiwis was smoking a cigarette.
How weird because when I was young the start of the intro it used to make me giggle because the kiwi was just chilled out smoking as I found it unusual at the time since most characters either smoked cigars or pipes.
lol the bird is smoking weed while listening to santeria by sublime. that was a great easter egg
Heaven has an exit back down into the game.
I’m on vacation in Virginia Beach at a rental house, there’s an arcade machine here with 150 old games loaded on it. This is one of them. Knowing there’s this much to the game that I will never get too makes me kind of sad
I've been searching this game for so long I can't believe I finally found it 😭
It's been 32 years since I played this game at Aladdin's Castle and I still have no idea what this game has to do with NewZeland.
I had this game inside a daycamp I went to. I honest to god thought it was a dream, but it’s real, and honestly so ahead of it’s time
saw this game for a second on a video and since i live in new zealand i just HAD to check it out
now to see if it's accurate
Our kiwi was smoking before he got kidnapped. He's the coolest kiwi.
He is cool as shadow
One of the first games I played as a kid. Still have it and still love it 😍
Heaven knows what the creators of this game were on when they invented this
A little something called imagination.
Are they the same creators of Pulirula?
Probably yes. These guys smoke some before making these games.
Nostalgia 🤍🤍🤍🤍
in the beginning of the 90s i spent a lot of quarters on this, good times
omg this game was in my memory box for decades! I actually beat this in the arcades as a child.
I spent about a Gazillion $ at the arcades playing this game. I always used the secret warp thingys
I play thisba lot on Mame and always admire the beautiful backgrounds, music and design 😍😍😍😍
Wow this game use to scare me even more than bubble bobble when your time runs out, and I was a little kid in the 80s.
This reminds me of my childhood ...
I miss those old days ....
I remember playing this game my local arcade in Karachi, PK back in the early 90s. I’ve been in the U.S. since 1996 but would love to play this again.
Just release on PS4 as part of the Arcade Archives collection!
Same for the Switch! Can’t wait to play it
I didn't even know of the Heaven secret, what a strange secret. Does it only happen in that specific portion of that stage?
+Baximus it happens on specific stages and all of the Heaven stages are different 😃
I remember playing this at the dentist office as a kid. So many memories:)
Seal: “Oi, come here you little kiwi! You’ll be great in a movie about hobbits or something!”
Wait, is that Chicken at the intro smoking? This goes hard!
Man, they didn't need to go so raw on that Bad Ending.
Wow. Apparently I got absolutely NOWHERE when I played this in the arcade!
I loved this game and bubble bubble I think it was called. I always thought it was kewi or something like. That's for the flashbacks. I'm glad I came across ur page
first time i ever saw this game was on a Commodore Amiga
3:05 lol does that pickup have a swastika on it?
Before the Lord of the Rings trilogy, this was New Zealand's main claim to fame.
This is a very unusual type of game for an arcade machine
Very very very great game i found it 30 years latter 😢
Loved that game playing with my friends when I was a kid. atatat
I'm 40 and you have to see my tears of joy ❤❤❤
Guess goddess Amaterasu wasn't too kind here.
One of the kiwis at the start is having a crafty smoke.
Great game,this and Puzzel bobble bust a move were great 👍
Just moved to New Zealand, this is pretty normal here. I remember having to attack these creatures and avoid the spikes on my hovercraft trying to get to Countdown

there is a spot we if you use the fire wound you can open a door which creates a loop and you can play for ever, when I was a kid I was spending entire afternoons with this arcade, which I could finish without any problem, even loosing on purpose to get the arrow in the head and go to the paradise and escape :D
How did you know about heaven stages?
Information for this game has been on the internet for ages, plus the game kind of clues you in if you reach the Virgin Mary and game over on it.
The dumbass let the most courageous kiwi to escape in the beginning :O Damn... :) Great game, great skills man brings me joy
As a multispecies, I can confirm this happened.
I play this much before on the Arcade in my town, and I have try to get this game now, but all I have found is not the same as the Arcade was always something that missing sound? graphic or is not the same map's. where can I get the real arcade game?
Outstanding! You win a Golden Joystick Award! =)
Waay, waay too much charm for one game!
(Especially one so devilishly difficult.)
underrated title
Memories❤💯🕹
7:42 Now that's how you play this game yeeees!

NewZealand Story it was first video game about Kiwis and NZ.
Yes in 2021 I will see all the game from the beginning because I never finished
P. S : This "cute" game is a nightmare... if you not know you make circles is a labyrinth...
nice work liked
Does anyone know where can I play this game again?
Is this the "old" version?
Played this on the arcade and on the amstrad a long time ago.
I am trying to find this edition online. Is this the old world? Link please!!

Frankie Fruitbat....
NZ is not apart of Australia... get your facts right.
@@roberthall7117 I think that was the point.
This is not the arcade version is it?
It is the arcade version.
Are you okay, Lilien?

3:50 I couldn't pass through it in any way.
Dosnt look but this game is already

Main course? Nah our Leopard seal villain has priorities, sell the kiwi's on the black market, make a bunch of cash from it.
Did You See Smoking Kini
Bonito juego
i got this on a emulator on my ps3 🙂🙂... Dada da da daaaa i'm LOVING it...
He’s smoking a cigarette
One of the greatest games ever!
This game was fairly easy to find… Psychic 5 took me 3-4 years!
Anger Bird 4
The master system version of this music was better than the arcade version
Not a chance, it was heavily downgraded and a lot of the warps removed.
Dude your awesome
how do i go to heaven?
you need to lose your last life by getting hit by a projectile in one of the world 3 levels
Perfect ending. Actually Kiwi isn't yellow.
Japanese are weird sometimes.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
This platform is actually better than Super Mario Bros. Multiple endings and creative paths. I wonder why this game never took off?
It was popular enough in Japan I'm sure, it did get several ports.
I loved this as a kid, but it really doesn't hold up.
@Matthew Wade - I couldn't agree more, with your disagreement!
Still an amazing game :)
@@kensavage7657 I couldn't disagree more with your agreement and his disagreement.
I love this game but Round 4-4 and the pirate ship quickly kill any enthusiasm I have for it when I reach them. Really not a fan of pixel perfect jumping and it's even worse with the arcade stick.
