very nice episode :D

i remember this game ... it was to damn hard
maybe i should dig out my old nes and try it again

[b]I loved Dick Tracey as a kid, especially the movie. This game is trash though..I can't believe some of the games you have the balls and patience to complete. What games are coming up? You should try 'Cybernoid' on NES, it's damn hard and one of those games that tormented me as a kid. I'd love to see someone play it...Until You Win![/b]

I really like your UWW-videos! Keep them coming and i will be watching! But please, don't EVER touch strawberries again! ;)

Sidenote: Have you ever thought about doing an UWW for 'Fortress of Fear' (Game Boy)? That was BY FAR the hardest game I've ever played and I really would like to see the ending (or anything after that corridor with all those damn skulls).

Edit: Nevermind, just found a playthrough to FoF online and the guy didn't die ONCE! Maybe I was just a n00b, when I was a kid... (and SO close to the endboss!)

01.25.2010 - 21:53 | Ryguy987

First?

Also, good episode! Too bad there's not much material to work with.

Edit: Well, at least I'm SECOND!

Edit #2: Hmm, people seem to hate it when I do this. ...My work here is done! (seriously, I like the idea of being a troll, especially a professional troll for as Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw once said 'I like the idea of a professional troll, makes me think of a hideous creature popping out from under bridges to had out business cards')

LordKat ur th best man

01.24.2010 - 18:14 | Nasikoman

I remember playing this game precisely once, and I got owned by those ridiculous overworld snipers. I never played or thought of it again.

01.25.2010 - 01:57 | EarthboundXE

Same for me, I think I manged to get to the first sidescroller stage, never played it again.

01.24.2010 - 18:16 | callmematt

AVGN reveiwed this game as well. He also gotten frustrated at everything in the clasic AVGN style and just could not finish that game ever!

01.24.2010 - 18:17 | Kalashnikov - Just an opinion

I don't think that LordKat should do UWW of games that are hard just because they are poorly programmed but ONLY of games that were made to be hard.

01.24.2010 - 20:20 | Fracassi

Totally agree. There are a lot of games that I would love a walkthru for. (Blaster Master and Battletoads was great). But I'll never play this game. Still a decent vid though.

01.24.2010 - 18:18 | Spokavriel

[color=#bd527b] Nice Who Framed Roger Rabbit music. But what about Nightshade on the NES? While the game can be beaten relatively easily if you know a few tricks if you don't know those tricks it can hand you your arse over and over again. I really think it could be a worthwhile NES Detective game. Problem is I have trouble finding other people who even know of its existence. And I don't want to give up my cartridge when you say you are playing on an Emulator.[/color]

01.25.2010 - 00:33 | MuroKhan

Actually I know what Nightshade is and was actually gonna suggest he play it too.

01.24.2010 - 18:23 | InformationGeek

Damn, this is one tough game. The AVGN had a pretty hard time with this game.

01.24.2010 - 18:33 | warriorwhacko

God, this game is just an enormous insult to the Dick Tracy comic. Wonder what your dad ever said about this crap game LordKat?

01.24.2010 - 18:40 | Chireru

You're going to die... a lot.

Why is this not on a t-shirt?

01.24.2010 - 21:09 | DeathsHead419 - Good Idea

Ya, have that just above an image of a single trapese over a massive burning pit, with a little sprite on one corner. That would be pretty cool.

01.24.2010 - 18:52 | stuartn

Ahh, the Roger Rabbit music...I was thinking Deja Vu for the NES with that "never play another detective game for the NES" comment. Nice work with difficult material there!

01.24.2010 - 18:54 | DoomPL

much better than AVGN's video

01.24.2010 - 19:09 | Germanfan

i remember this game from the angry video game nerd i thought men this game must be hard....
but now i see how hard it is...actulley when is was 5 or 6 my mom says to me ok youe can choose one of this games dick tracy or street fighter 2
wow i am glad i said street fighter 2

01.24.2010 - 19:18 | Fox_Silent-K

I thought you said you weren't ever going to do that next game you have planned.

01.24.2010 - 19:24 | Uberpig

That game looked hellishly dull.
And you and the AVGN should stop shopping at the same game store. :lol:

01.24.2010 - 20:08 | BowmanJeane

Thank you for the video! The game seems really frustrating to play as when the NERD had reviewed it. You definitely confirmed it's boringness, but it was still very enjoyable to watch. My game to do: Escape From Monkey Island (with no FAQ - if you have not played).

Was that you in the DB:Evolution vid. I'm sure of it... it's just that you were upside down for most of it HA

01.24.2010 - 20:16 | LLon

i always tought that game was impossible, good one Lordkat, congratulations.

btw that's the worst ending of all the game that you beat.

01.24.2010 - 20:25 | Elan - Awesome

I played this one as a kid, and reached the second level maybe twice. You have a truly inhuman level of patience, LordKat.

If you ever do an episode on [b]Solar Jetman[/b], you will officially be a gaming God.

01.24.2010 - 20:35 | Starryknight3

rangers, woo!

01.24.2010 - 20:40 | Fracassi

Ah, cathode rays - makes me think of particle testing and Videodrome.

01.24.2010 - 21:31 | FireFighter214 - Please stop the strawberries

All I can see are strawberries.

01.24.2010 - 21:35 | DeathsHead419 - Hmm

Dick Tracy eh? Are you planning on beating the game AVGN couldn't? Or perhaps your plan to slowly surplant him and become the new lord of old-school gaming videos on the internet.

01.24.2010 - 21:37 | DoomGuy

"Wait a minute, that game isn't even difficult enough for Until We Win!"

Well neither is Earthworm Jim, but that didn't stop you

01.24.2010 - 22:05 | S_Pac_3:16

I don't know if I ever played this game or not...

So Who Framed Roger Rabbit is next? Looking forward to it.

[quote]You should try 'Cybernoid' on NES,it's damn hard and one of those games that tormented me as a kid.[/quote]

As a kid I hated that game, but just a few months ago I gave it another try and it wasn't that bad at all (and I'm not a tenth as good a gamer as LordKat). Actually once you have the map memorized it becomes outright easy.

01.24.2010 - 22:29 | Guru Larry

[b]How come no one ever really acknowledges the Mega Drive/Genesis version of Dick Tracy?

I loved that game as a kid![/b]

01.25.2010 - 01:14 | Deimos1984rd

That version was awesome, you can use the gun without the police scolding you and shoot criminals in the background.

01.24.2010 - 22:35 | Destro9

Ive only played the Megadrive..oh sorry Genesis version of this...thankfully it wasent as mind numblingly dull as this appears to be!
Better of playing Robocop i guess.

Btw i like the intro titles.

01.24.2010 - 22:44 | LittlePancake

[size=large]I Wanna Be The Guy[/size]

^ Haha, play that for us! I dare you.

01.24.2010 - 22:54 | The Cheap-Arse Film Critic.

We need a T-Shirt with YOU'RE GONNA DIE. ALOT on it.

01.24.2010 - 23:01 | Raukue

You should probably play [b]Journey to Silius[/b] or something. I use to play that when I was a kid and could only ever barely pass the 1st boss... then again I was not a good player when I was a kid. But I think that is a hard game.
