The Pagemaster Playthrough (SNES) (Best Ending) (Deathless)

- Based off the cult movie, the game adaptation isn't too shabby. Back in 1999 I found a copy of it for $5 in a local bargain store along with another SNES game Batman & Robin also for $5. It was a very good day indeed. I am very familiar with this game from having played it for many years up until I finally finished it when I was in my early teens. I hadn't really played it again until it came time to do this video. Was very curious to see how it lived up to memories of it and I was very pleasantly surprised. Good music, decent controls and a reasonable difficulty made this game a enjoyable playthrough. Like I said, before I did this playthrough I had not played this game since my early teens...so probably 2003. Probably the reason I was also so happy to rediscover it was because I used to find this game very hard in spots as well, but not nowadays. What a difference time can make. Really enjoyed this one and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't die either. Just wish the movie would get a little more recognition and respect!
Hope you enjoy! - Ігри
This game, the sounds, this is my childhood right here.
I got the game when I was 8 out of a bargain cut-out bin at Bargain/Liquidation store in my little town sometime back in the late 90's...think it was 1999 honestly. Got it for $5 along with Batman The Animated Series on SNES for another $5, great scoop on that one too. Played Pagemaster a lot over the next few years and I think I beat sometime in 2003 for the first time. Didn't play it again really until I did this playthrough video. Was an absolute pleasure relearning and replaying it, had been far too long. A very fun and vastly underrated game from my childhood as well!

@@RentalRewindGaming Well have you ever played ActRaiser? that was made 4 years before
@@powerstones7722 good game also tough.
Always get a little sad & nostalgic when looking back at my favourite childhood games, Always wonder where did all the cartridges end up, where are all the kids now grown adults that used to love this, do they still look at the game with fondness, a waste of time or is a forgotten memory altogether.
It really is sad yes.
My cousin had this game I spent alot of time at his house growing up, they had a drawer full of snes games and for some reason it smelt good like old 90s games smell idk maybe it was the wood that made the cabinet but I can smell that smell when I think of this game and donkey kong country, mega man x, super Mario rpg, star fox idk... I'm old (30) apparently
@@tjoh6426 A drawer full of SNES games, we didn't know how good we had it.
Pagemaster was sort of the original Kingdom Hearts.
Boy goes on a quest through different worlds with tag-along characters and meets famous public domain characters of classic literature and fairy tales.
I bet this is where they got the idea for Kingdom Hearts from.
I use to play this with my mom when I was 8. The nostalgia is unreal
I envy you in a way, my mom never really played games with me, even though she was the one that got me the movie and this game way back when lol! Gaming was more of a "me and dad" thing if anything. Glad it brings back some nostalgic memories for you, kinda why I keep doing these videos honestly at this point.
Oh my gosh! I barely remember playing this as a kid!
Took me 15+ years to find this game again.. My childhood has come full circle. I die in peace.
I'm glad you found it then lol! Its a very forgotten and underrated one I feel. Not a bad game at all.
Omg, this game was my favorite when i was a littke kid. am 18 now and i play this when i was 6 years old. So many good memories.
I actually quite like the movie. I think under different circumstances it would have been a success, and it's far from being a "bad" movie as many paint it.
The Pagemaster wasn’t bad, is was boring.
I always enjoyed this game it was the first one my eldest sister got me for Christmas. I always thought there were more to it like hidden secret areas and alternative ending but after playing for years on it was just as it is. Still a fun game though.
May not be the deepest and in-depth game, but an enjoyable one for sure in hindsight!
Foi meu jogo preferido da infância
Culkin just told James Rolfe to do a review on this with him. I would die if they did.

For Real?
Dennis Taylor Yes on Twitter.

Post the link if you can.
It was probably more of a joke but here: twitter.com/IncredibleCulk/status/1019264396600565760
It's no joke, Culkin's tweet got responses from not only Mike Matei, but also Linkara.
Wow this brings back some memories
Indeed.
Been looking for this forever, used to love this game, but only got to adventure world.
It's not the easiest game or area of the game for sure. I had forgotten about the multiple paths and exits when I ended replaying the game for this video so yeah it was a pretty instant reminder to some of the slightly more frustrating aspects of the game at times lol!
Richard Tyler and the Torture Chamber of Secrets
a pity there was no basilisk guarding the chamber.
To think I grew up thinking the SNES version of this game was better than the Sega Genesis version.
I grew up with the SNES version and when I acquired a Sega copy years later I do agree that the SNES version was a bit more superior. Granted, I have not played a lot of the Sega version either so its possible (yet unlikely) that the view point could change...but its rather doubtful lol!
Just somehow love this game
Fantasy book: honey, you gotta help him. At least this wand is good for something.
Fantasy's Wand would have been a more useful weapon pick-up then what you get in the Fantasy Land section of the game. At least the Sword in Adventure Land was accurate to the movie lol!
Great game! Good Memories! :-')
That's why I'm here :') getting that feeling I'm with my dad still... Miss you pops.
Indeed.
Gotta admit the music is kinda good.
Got to agree as well. The music is not bad at all. Better then a lot of others for my money thats' for sure!
You're inside the Dragon's stomach full of books bones and branches
Add in a touch of Dragon indigestion and you got yourself a competent platforming level from the 90's lol! The only thing I can think of them being is all the knights the dragon devoured and the branches from the book that Macauly Culkin uses to escape and kill the dragon with at the end of the movie. That's all I got there for now lol!
Que final mas epico
Macaulay Culkin as Richard Tyler
Been trying to beat this game for 20 years! This shit is hard!
Not the hardest but certainly not the easiest either. Its a good challenge that's for sure!
lol, I remember back in the day, there was some contest in the Wherehouse if I could spot the baby in a display for Baby's Day Out. I located it and this was the prize.
I had this game and I beat this game Plenty of times I was a little kid when I had this game great Memories
Jordan Van Dyk yeah I saw the movie too I was 6 years old when the movie and the game came out I just turn 6 and my birthday is in August great Memories.
Jordan Van Dyk But you said you were 9 when you got this game
Jordan Van Dyk Oh ok because the game came out in the same year that the movie came out
Richard must face his fear of heights
Won't lie, some of the platforming in the later levels while dodging enemies and not getting hit was rather stressful to put it lightly lol!
Macaulay Culkin was nominated for a Razzie in this Live-Action/ Animated Movie.
Kevin's actor
I thought this game was a fever dream
When I went back to replay this game for the playthrough video there was so many levels I forgot about so yeah I can totally understand lol!
that ghost with the candle at 6:13 was jacob marley from christmas carol? o0
Richard Tyler: I'm a cartoon
A brutally underrated movie if I may state lol!
I remember playing this game when I was little😢
I've had it since I was little and once I beat when I hit my preteens I didn't touch it again really until I did this video. Was a real pleasure replaying it again since I had totally forgotten how much I used to have with it, especially trying to find alternate exits and navigating the overworld paths as a result. Very underrated...
@@RentalRewindGaming omg yes ❤️ I too remember playing this as a child and completely forgot about it once I got older but thanks to someone who posted it on TikTok I remembered how much I loved this game! also did you know Macaulay culkin did the movie of this game
The Pagemaster: UA-cam on Nintendo Plus
Dorian harewood as Jamaican pirate
Patrick Stewart as adventure book, whoopi goldberg as fantasy book and Frank Welker as horror book parrot hound of baskervilles and dragon
The funny thing is the movie actually made me go and want to read all the books that got mentioned in the movie, which I did later on in life. Would have been cool if they had some voice samples of them in the game. Missed opportunity I think...
Would be soooooo nice if they actually went and made a sequel. Who cares about the reception it got when it was released, that still didn't stop it from becoming a beloved cult classic. I have a very good idea on what the sequel would play out.
I for one totally agree and I would have LOVED to see a sequel to this movie. Loved it growing up and I still love it now! Criminally underrated!
I know this a late reply, but how would you play out the sequel?...just wondering
Horror book: help master, you need to treat a library book sanctuary sanctuary sanctuary
Would have been cool to get some of the voice samples from the movie for little parts in the game!
Adventure book: the stairs mateys the stairs
Personally I like that they faithfully incorporated some the background details from the movie into the game like having all the platforms and such made of books and having the EXIT sign being visible in the distance in Horror Land etc.
Why does an earthquake happen when he lands?
they should bring this to the Nintendo Switch 👍
Why the first level has to be so awkward and dark... and unplayable?
What were they thinking?
Angels in the outfield actors
Leonard nimoy as dr jekyll and mr Hyde
Best ending ever.
It's on par with the "ending" from the first SNES Jurassic Park game honestly....so great it's a mic drop of an ending lol!
These graphics are sick
My name is MR HYDE!
I never understood this Game as a kid..
Understandable, it doesn't really tell you what to do, what things are and what they do and it can occasionally lead to a rather trying and difficult time in spots that's for sure. Hell, it certainly did for me for years lol!
Jim Cummings as long john silver
Thought it was cool that they got Leonard Nemoy to voice Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. They should have had another famous literary character voiced by a famous actor for the Fantasy segment of the movie like they had with the Horror and Adventure parts of the movie.
Christopher lloyd as pagemaster
They really should have included the Pagemaster himself into the game FAR more then they did...shame really.
Get ready for your Final Reward, A really Atrocious Ending!
@@RentalRewindGaming you completed the game? Congratulations! Here is some credits!
damn this game was hard as fuck!
When I first got it when I was 8 I certainly thought the same thing. I beat it when I was 13 and then never touched it again until this playthrough video. Was pleasantly surprised to find that it was nowhere near as tough as I remembered, granted having blown through games like Contra, all the Castelvania's, Battletoads, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out etc. it didn't seem so hard lol. But as a first time pick up and play it was certainly a tough cookie that's for sure. The memory remains I guess you could say lol!
@@RentalRewindGaming that music in the begging levels is in my head forever.
@@levioptionallastname6749 Its a catchy little title tune fro sure.
The developer put more heart making this game over the genesis port, snes win for fog, rain, lightning effects!
I grew up with this version and picked up copy of the Sega Genesis version a few years back and it does seem that at least visually this game got more attention for sure. Now which one is better is hard to say since I'm not very familiar with the Sega one. One day I'm sure I'll sit down and really give it a go but I'll stay with this one for now lol!
@@RentalRewindGaming i played pagemaster and didnt like it for the genesis and i am a huge genesis fan, buy donald maui mallard for the genesis best game not for the snes, i,m playing this one and its hard but great check it out bro!
@@predaking2wings Never played the Maui Mallard game...I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it then. Just snagged a boxed copy of Star Gate though for Sega and I might give that one a spin one of these upcoming nights lol!
@@RentalRewindGaming i played stargate and have it, and its good the music is top notch but the last boss was a pain, i couldn´t beat um interesting level design.
0:02 you know you wanna hear it again…. Come on….
a pity there weren't any bosses like the Dragon or Moby Dick or Dr.Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, the game would have been greater and would have aged better. but the music is fantastic and it reminds me of tloz Ocarina of Time.
@@RentalRewindGaming never knew that. anyway, glad you agree.
🦇Horror don't go theres saved Lady Morrígan wíth meets met lovely meets Mr. Moundshroud.🦇
Home alone actors
Now, you call this a deathless run, despite the fact you died in the dragon.
Well I just re-watched all the dragon levels and the only thing I screw up is the timed bonus game. If it would have counted as a life lost, therefore not a deathless run then all my pickups would have been lost immediately so I do not count it at all since that did not happen.
Battle long john silver and his parrot and his pirates the monster's fist giant squid and the big bad wolf using the sword bag of bouncy eyeballs sheild climbable slime hidden books and enchanted dust
Huge missed opportunity to have a boss battle or two in the game like beating Mr Hyde, or dodging Moby Dick and battling the Dragon at the end. My only real criticism of the game nowadays honestly.
@@RentalRewindGaming Alternatively, they could have the Dragon as the end boss of each world, manifesting as a Slime Dragon (similar to its liquid-like form at the beginning of the movie) at the end of Horror World, a Sea Dragon at the end of Adventure World, and its true form at the end of Fantasy World with the knight skeleton's sword as Richard's weapon which would be exclusive to these boss fights and cannot be lost by getting hit and that both him and the Dragons would have health bars (similar to the boss fights from Puggsy).
Phil hartman
as one of the pirates
No boss fights?
Yeah...I was pretty disappointed in that too. They could have added a Mr. Hyde battle, a Moby Dick sequence and a battle with the dragon as well. Especially the dragon since it was the climax of the movie and it was featured on the poster and all the advertisement material as well. A let down for sure sadly...
Never get it
Worst ending of game I have seen. No last boss?
Hogwarts Legacy brought me here 😅
Best ending? Really?
Yeah...I know right? What a "great ending"...another winner for sure lol!
Like Incantation 😂
Great movie, pretty darn rubbish game.
I remember renting this piece of F'n shit one Friday after middle school to enjoy on a weekend I had no homework.
Game was bloody F'n awful.
Somehow I discovered some cheat code to skip ahead by just pressing all the buttons.
The game F'n sucks, and should never be shown to anybody ever again!
just cause you suck at it, doesn't mean the game sucks
Good memories of the game but whoever is playing in this video is horrible at video games and shouldn’t upload
