Not just any cat, the cat from Chrono Trigger. Also, that wasn't "Swamp Thing" it was "The Amazon" from Pro Wrestling.

Coulda fooled me!

Literally divulging my age here, but as a 42 y/o all of these references have struck a special cord within me. It's so good! The Data East slate of game references alone like Kid Niki [Radical Ninja] and Karnov, two games I had and played into oblivion. Growing up my Mom tolerated my game culture but try as I might to get her to play with me she mostly wouldn't with exception of 2 games specifically, those being Karnov and Paper Boy. Completely different genres yet those are the ones she favored, and when you're young getting Mom to play video games with me were instantaneous memories being made to be reflected upon in later days for all time. Just one of many, many reasons why having an NES from 1985 onwards will always behold a special affinity no matter my age. :)

@@jayroi1814 NES was a console in which left an impression on many of us, some as early as your experience. I was fortunate enough to get one at or close to its release in 1985, when I'd have been only 3 years-old. The rest as they say is history.

Man, I remember when this came out. I miss the old internet.

There's a lot of, "Yup, that just happened" in this video, and I'm here for it. 🤣

You have NO IDEA how badly I wanted another KZreadr that I've been subscribed to to play this game. I got introduced to this fan game through FarFromSubtle and it was such a great homage. I'm sure you've recorded multiple episodes in advance but if you haven't, I do want to warn you that there is some major gore content in the back half of this game.

I thought so. I though bubba hanks was pretty obvious.

Newgrounds was a daily routine for me, before YT got popular, i need to go back there at some point and indulge myself with the fanmade stuff like this.

This should be called "NES: The Game"

Hope you continue this, I've been wanting to see a full playthrough since James and Mike did an edited one, years ago on Cinnemasacre. I wish they'd port it to SWITCH

this was the golden age of the internet.

So glad Jared didn’t die on the first goomba.

I want to say that Naven Johnson was the name of Steve Martin's character in The Jerk

Nice! The guy at the end with the jet pack is The Amazon from Pro Wrestling.

This is such a classic. I remember playing this when I was on school computers like ten years ago and having a total blast. Makes me sad that the Flash era is gone.

This game is basically mainlining 8 bit nostalgia.

Flashbacks to the flash games I’ve played/watched others play in High School/College. I feel old. This is looking good already, can’t wait for more.

Finally, Jerd plays a good game. Maybe one day we can get Abobo's SUPER Big Adventure.

@@Riftweaver1981 The hell are you talking about? We've had only one zelda series recently and it was 5 episodes. Before that, it was nearly 4 months since we had a zelda series, and before that nearly a year. We don't have enough zelda in my opinion! Also, you don't have to watch it if you dont like it, watch someone else!

Finally, I had been posting comments on your videos for 2 years, at least for you to try this! Thanks, and enjoy!

Abobo's Big Adventure was like the one game on Newgrounds I saw being pretty popular to give a try when I was a kid, and thought it was pretty cool even if it was somewhat jank. The boxing/wrestling and Mega Man section of the game was where I kept getting stuck at all the time when playing it back then lol

You can't know how much I needed hilarious random craziness right now. Thank you so much, Jared ❤

I wasn't expecting an old flash game to be so well made

Oh hell yeah, man, this one's a classic

I was there, Jerd, I was there one thousand and twenty two years ago, when the strenght of men rose and made this masterpiece. And it's just as crazy and funny as I remember it.

Still pushing for Jared to play Barkley Shut Up And Jam Gaiden so he can truly learn what it means to Chaos Dunk.

The merbobos made me bust out laughing. Wasn't expecting them to be used as a shield!

Yes! Play all of this, please! I remember seeing AVGN play this years ago and would love to see a full playthrough again!

OMG i was about to ask you next time on twitch if you ever played that .This game was made for you! This video(s?) will be awesome!!!

Yes!! I was really hoping you'd do this one!

It's simply the best flash game of all time. Second to none. Zero competition.

An under rated classic. Amazing to see it again, well done sir Jerd!

Hell yeah! It's Abobo's! This is a goddamn Newgrounds classic. Never beat it though.

For an old fan game, the sprite work is incredible! I bet I would have loved this if I played it back in the 2000s. It would have been right up my alley. Sad you didn’t get the Scut Farkus reference. For anyone who doesn’t know, that’s the name of the bully from A Christmas Story.

I was there when Abobo ate his head, thought it was a candy.

I got all the achievements in that game back on newgrounds, including balloon jedi! I consider it one of my greatest gaming achievements.

This game is the reason why new grounds was the best part of the internet for a long time.

Instant click, KZread notifications are working. :)

This is the best insanity and I am here for it! Thank you so much for this.

I’ve always wanted to play this, but never did. Now I can laugh along with Jerd while HE plays it! Rad.

One of my favorites. Every stage is amazing

Not playing this with a keyboard is like playing Skyward Sword without motion controls.

holy shit I remember this game!!! I could've sworn in was older than 2012 though...

when the Old Man grew to huge proportions, it reminded me of Smash TV

Wow, this game is so bonkers and so much fun to look at it. I legit laughed a few times at some of the gags 🤣

Oh, I remember when James and Mike played this lol. It's great!

love the Ironsword music and Pro Wrestling Amazon at the end! lol

One of the best flash games of all time. @12:49 i really wanted to say batman for the nes, sounds a lot like it. But maybe it's a remix or something.

I guess the old man is Super 3D Noahs Ark? This game is a riot, either way!

I will be SHOCKED if Jared gets the pro wrestling references later on

Kid Niki was called "The Wonderful Yanchamaru" in Japan so no, he wasn't Goku. Although his desgin on the arcade flyer was obviously based on him with the orange and blue outfit

You're on for a ride! this game is crazy!

I've never heard of this game before, and now I feel like I've been missing out lol.

Almost beat this game until I got to the level with The Amazon from Pro Wrestling. Glad to see you playing it!

Just some hints for you Jared Double Dragon level (first leve) has a secret climb in the right wall in the end of level before going to boss door. In the Urban Champion level let the guy hit you it's pretty hilarious and also you get achievement for it.

This is possibly the most New Grounds game I've ever seen.

Honestly surprised it took this long for this game to appear XD

This game is a fever dream.

Oh shiiiit man. I remember playing this back on armor games like, 15 years ago and getting in trouble because my parents thought it was too violent.

Scut Farkus is the name of the big red haired bully from A Christmas Story.

This looks absolutely bonkers. I love it!

God I remember this game. Back when I used to spend so much time on Newgrounds.

Looking forward to seeing you play the rest of this one

Haha. I can understand this reference 22:37 Had to call to Finnish Nintendo hotline back in the early 90's to understand wtf grumble grumble meant.

Man I used to play the hell out of this game, never beat it though so go luck Jared!

I-mockery was/is great. Rog deserves much love for not only this game but everything on that site.

6:12 The "Sticky Jones" dude is the first boss from the NES Kung Fu game and the "Navin Johnson" dude is the third boss from the same game. Don't know where the games came from though.

I'm so glad your playing this if no one has ever seen it 😂 I seen avgn play this a long time ago and it is insane

I was just thinking about this game recently. It's so fun

Oh man, I haven't seen this one in ten years! This is gonna be a treat.

I'm gonna be honest, I miss the gory, crude, juvenile humor that was big around the time of this game's release and the decade before it. It feels refreshing nowadays.

This is wild

By the way, Jared, the music that plays when fighting Big Daddy is the boss battle music from _Batman Returns_ on the NES.

14:10 "now its horny?" He says, minutes after breeding a mermaid and using the offspring as a shield.

Love it when it’s weird and whacky stuff

gonna enjoy this series!

That was the Amazon from NES Pro Wrestling at the end when you said Swamp Thing.

now I wanna play zelda 1 with a bunch of weird mario and metroid enemies thrown in.

This is why I use the Logitech F gamepads, they have a button on them to swap the left analogue stick's inputs with the Dpad inputs which is great for games with problematic analogue stick support. (and for games that are just better to play with a Dpad but the game only supports analogue stick)

It's like if Duke Nukem was the basis for I Wanna Be The Guy instead of Megaman, an unapologetically strange mishmash of references for the sake of fun!

RIght after finishing Ancient dungeon seeing Abobo in zelda-style give me a good laugh haha
