Hello again, here is a movie for the Genesis game Dark Castle being beaten in 2:43.95 on the hardest difficulty.
I chose this game because it is known to be one of the worst Genesis games ever made, so I thought i'd give it a shot.
It's a quite short game, and this movie doesn't even visit 2 of the 4 rooms that you go to.
The rom used is "Dark_Castle_(UE)_[!].bin."
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Bisqwit: The ending is strange...
Anyway, encoding.

Haha! This is probably the most rediculous I've ever seen. Listening to the sound almost made me fell of my chair. And that gimp throwing stones. HAHAHA! And the last boss. BWAHAHAHAH!! Bisquit - You've gotta publish this game. Hahahaha! It's well played, tried to do it my self, but when I tried to skip down some stair I bumped the head of the hero and he died. Pretty weak. Hehehe. This reminds me somewhat of the other crappy game called Gods. I wish to see a run of that as well. Just to see some poor guy run that game makes me laugh.

Really... WTF. Seems like the idea and the horrid sounds were both done after a loooooong night in the bar. And black knight who throws mugs as a last boss? How did they even manage to get shite like this published in the first place. :/ Apart from that, playing was quite well done, the game itself was horrid to play when I tested. I really congratulate you for playing this at least 3 minutes. Still, it's so bad that it's essentially good.

I think the programmers had a big party at the company while making this game. "HEY GUY!! LISTEN UP! I'VE JUST COME UP WITH THE MOST FUNNY SHIT EVER! *hic*" They all were probably drunk while making it.

How...bizarre. Loved the Bach, hated the game. I don't know how you put up with it for two whole minutes. At the ending is...nothing? Just endless music? Crap.

I intend to improve this movie eventually. Some better randomness will help greatly. The waiting at the shield room was too long, and I might be able to manipulate the enemies so that I don't have to kill as many.

The Amiga version is even "better" ( http://hol.abime.net/100 ). While everyone was used to play games with a joystick, this game had to played with the keyboard and mouse, like today's WASD-FPS.
