    Manly tears have been shed seeing this video, so epic.

  3. Alex says:

    looks like very VERY hard trilogy

    Lol my dad and i are talking about all the zelda’s we’ve beat together and he go’s “hey i should show you swordquest, it’s like zelda!” and i go “NO, THE NERD HATH WARNED ME OF THAT PIECE OF CRAP!”

  7. this game looks sick, they should do that with Zelda, I mean, a solid gold tri-force would be bad ass, along with the three jewels from ocarina of time

  8. Beware77 says:

    Is there any petition (or something like that) I could sign to get the ball rolling on the “Quest” again? I think gamers would love to finish this sort of thing, especially after all these years.

    A great weapon of legend, lost in the pages of history, calls to it’s true master…

  9. MogKnight says:

    I know a few other games that tried to do something like this, specifically Treasure Master on the NES.

  10. Hardgrave says:

    Atari still makes some pretty sweet games now days don’t they? I’m sure money isn’t a problum for them and the remaining items are still in Ataris posesion. I say Atari finishes the rest of the games but for PS3 Xbox360 and Wii and have the first 2 winners come back for the finals.

  11. rubius says:

    that is just wrong, the true king must be found and where can i find that music at the end?

  12. jeffercation says:

    What I like about the nerd is he’s entertaining but he teaches you things about video games that you never would have known. And this is another fine example of that. You guys rock, cinemassacre.

  13. WongSSJ says:

    Yeah, it almost made me cry too. Even make me register to post something… that’s some real shit of a reward for beating a game! Game developers should do something like that… or give virtual rewards to the first people that finish a game or find all the secrets or something like that…

    that box thing looks nothing like a Philosopher’s Stone. A Philosopher’s Stone is supposed to look like a large red jewel. I mean, seeing as how Harry Potter AND Fullmetal Alchemist have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with each other and yet both had an almost identical design for the Philosopher’s Stone, I surmised that it’s a universal rule that a Philosopher’s Stone is supposed to look like a big, bright red jewel.

    Man, this could have eventually been so huge that Nintendo World Championships wasn’t even as big as this.

  16. Overlord9015 says:

    They should make something like this with the Legend of Spyro trilogy for the PS2. That would make the games over 9000 times better

  17. There Are Those Who Call Him Tim says:

    very interesting video. if only they did something like that today. i assume the only reason that nothing like that is around today is because if somebody figured out the clues to a game made like that today,, they would post it all over the internet for anyone to see and ruin the fun. it would be neat to see something like that done with zelda though. could you imagine a quest like that. imagine if they made 3 games based off the triforce pieces and then the winners of those 3 contests come back to compete for a master sword. that would be epic. i think nintendo could pull it off.

  18. browncoat says:

    I have to admit, I have never played Swordquest but I definitely heard about it. I never knew about the contest, but that definitely sounds pretty awesome. I wonder if there is any modern day equivalent to this type of treasure hunt competition.

  19. shipman96 says:

    “The Kingdom of Nerdom Depends on it!”

    i saluted

    Why am I not surprised?
    Jack Tramiel is a Jew who survived the Holohoax
    He kept treasures for himself which clearly belong to real gamers
    Typical Jewish Greed

    @ Superjay45
    WTF?? Kinda anti semitic no?? I going to assume your jokeing because I hope seriously that you are
    Can you imagine if a company did something like this today? I’m not sure that most of the little spoiled brats of today could appreciate the epic awesomness of it.

  23. Weist96 says:

    I remember my cousin talking about this contest from back in the 80s, he wondered what happened and why only 2 prizes were given out of all of them, he also wondered where Air World was. He’s gonna be surprised when I tell him

  24. 85512 Is in Mario 3 says:

    us gamers need to ban together and get Atari to make that game so that someone worthy can have those items they don’t belong in some guy’s living room that just so happened to buy the company when they had them that’s bull crap they belong in the hands of some of the best gamers of our time

    @Zelda_boy
    The philosophers’ stone (Latin: lapis philosophorum) is a legendary alchemical substance, said to be capable of turning base metals, especially lead, into gold; it was also sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality.

    the philosophers stone was a substance, not an actual stone of any sort, thus making any and all of the harry potter and any other movie, where it is represented as such, wrong in terms of mythology.

    Also, it is portrayed that way in books, movies, etc. because having the title of a movie, or just having the people in the movie calling something a stone and then having it be a liquid substance might be rather odd and people would ask to many questions
