NES Deadly Towers Review
Video Rating: 4 / 5

In this video I do an entire play through of the game Maniac Mansion for NES and do a running commentary all the way through. This was one of my favorite games and I would like to share the way I beat it with you. I am playing the game on the scummvm emulator, the emulator and rom conversion tool are available on the official scummvm website. This is part 1 of the 4 part video. Enjoy.

    Its nice how u have to ejaculate swords !

  2. @ProdigiousPoker I agree. I have played this game longer than any other NES game until I finally beat it. It was fun for its time.

  3. haha good review i always love when ppl talk about this game, make comparisons, jokes, etc. its my favorite NES game in an odd way

  4. Actually this video came out before AVGN review.

  5. I used to love this game because of the challenge behind it. I only ever made it to the first tower boss though, completely by accident.. and didn’t win.

  6. hey ProdigiousPoker I also beat this game, it wasn’t so bad but it was tough. I didn’t map out anything, though I agree the ending was so rewarding.

  7. How about pie? :)

    I like apples!

    “Here you play as Sir Myers who goes around ejaculating swords and rapes things to death”: Best introduction to a character ever XD

  10. You’re hearing the music from Spark Mandrill’s stage in Megaman X for SNES. Almost all the tunes from the first 6 Megaman X games were badass.

    thee3nd, what’s the Music that kick’s In at 3.55 Off? I know It’s Off a Super Nintendo Game but just Can’t remember which One…

  12. ProdigiousPoker

    I actually beat this game n 1987 after hour upon hour of playing, dying, mapping dungeons. Sigh, it was brutal but so rewarding when I finally beat it. The review left out how cool the bosses were. I also thought the tower music was really cool. Nice touch at the end of the review with the money-shot of the mountain man. A bit disturbing but good review!

    i remember being a dumbass kid and buying this game in 1987 what a piece of $hit I mean real piece of $hit game. Still is.

    chuck norris XD

  15. Sure you have.

  16. I like turtles.

  17. stillnotbetter

    For real dude, I hope that you die a slow disgusting death. You are a complete waste of time. Loser.

  18. Oh yeah I remember this game.

  19. hawatatreides

    i beat this game in five seconds

  20. looking at the date, and the fact that AVGN used fan feedback for that episode, it’s more likely that james used thee3nds line for the review

  21. also, make it so you dont have to restart at the beginning, and maybe have swords do more damage if you throw them from further away. just a few changes would make a big difference.

  22. runemaniac312

    5:13 ear rape with your pingas sword o_O it must b Robotnik :O not price poopypants or whateever

  23. i completely agree with you. i like deadly towers for its artistic and novelty value. i used to play it when i was young, although i found it maddening for the reasons you described.

    it couldve been alot better if they changed the gameplay a bit.. like not starting off so weak, and not making the dungeons into insane maze traps.

    a remake designed to be more playable could be pretty awesome.

  24. man i beat deadly towers when i was in the army I loved that game….

  25. lol at the end ur sword ejaculation turns that guy on

  26. vampirerain100

    @gamemaster14neo if its not a problem thanks

  27. gamemaster14neo

    @vampirerain100 Basically all that happens is a different character stands by sandy and dr fred says hes sorry for her boyfriend dieing. I will post that ending if you want me to.

  28. vampirerain100

    i have a request could you show the ending without dave because im wondering what happens if dave dies and somebody else rescues sandy

  29. This game still does creep me out!

  30. This game used to scare the bujesus out of me, creepy blue guy!

  31. gamemaster14neo

    The deluxe version of maniac mansion for pc looks pretty good but the original version looked very blocky.

  32. on the pc this looks like shit but on the nes it looks good :)

  33. i’d shat my pants too see that blue dude if i was like 8-10 @_@

  34. thanks for showing this!!!

  35. I played this when I was 9 years old. and It was really fun. Also had this Gold tape of this game. don’t know if anyone knows? About the gold cartage

  36. i play this game everyday a couple of times through. no, i am not pro. but that proofs that this game is awesome :D

    i just can’t get tired to play it through :D

  37. gamemaster14neo

    Personally I never found exploiting glitches in a game fun.

  38. Iainofthemeteor

    if you use glitches you can beat the game using NO skills from specific characters. And you only need to pick up 8 items. all you need is glowing key card key and yellow key but yo grab other things along the way. and the code to inner lab door is 0000 IF you don’t fix he wires! and ring the doorbell before going into purple guys area the cutscene will freeze him. You could do this with 2 kids as well.

  39. Thank you very much for the upload

  40. A neat note is that if you choose a musician, they can play the piano while others can’t. The choice of characters is important to do certain actions and to get certain endings.

  41. NintendosAdvocate0

    Cool review. Every time I play this game I turn off their CD Players because it drives me crazy and I can’t think. And every time I beat the game I can only beat it by making the Meteor a star and giving him his own t.v. show. LOL! I can’t seem to win any other way. I never know which 2 characters to play as?

  42. ha, i used to get scared for exactly the same reason. I never managed to complete it, (in DOTT)

  43. At first when I tried playing this game I got scared of it because of getting caught by the Edisons. Now I love Weird Ed and have him by my side all the time!

  44. Mine too.

  45. This is FUN!!!! Maniac Mansion is one of my top 5 videogames of All TIME.

  46. nachodemon666
