NintendoComplete | DecAthlete (Saturn) Playthrough @NintendoComplete | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
A playthrough of Sega's 1996 sports game for the Sega Saturn, DecAthlete.
This video shows two runs through the game. The first (beginning at 5:07) is of the arcade mode played as Rick Blade. The second (30:30) is of the decathlon mode played as Ellen Reggiani.
DecAthlete is, as the title implies, a Track & Field-style button masher that features all the events seen in a traditional decathlon.
The Saturn port, released a few months behind its arcade counterpart, is a near 1:1 conversion that made an excellent show of the console's capabilities. The game runs at a razor sharp 704x480 and updates at sixty fields per second, making it one of the best-looking, smoothest moving console games of 1996.
The controls are easy to grasp, the events don't overstay their welcome, the character personalities are silly and fun, and the graphics and music are fantastic. It's everything you could ask for from this style of game, and it's all impressively well realized for a fully 3D game from 1996. DecAthlete is one of the best games ever produced in its genre, and I still go back to it regularly.

A playthrough of Nintendos 2002 horror/adventure game for the Nintendo Gamecube, Eternal Darkness: Sanitys Requiem.
This is the second part of a two-part playthrough, showing the Ulyaoth and Chatturgha paths through the game. You can find part one at https://youtu.be/LNIgsfcH6CM
The game remains mostly the same on the second and third runs, but several of the cutscenes and the boss fights change to reflect the elder god Pious Augustus chooses at the beginning. The final cutscene only plays at the end of the third round.

![Dead of the Brain (PC Engine CD) Playthrough [English]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_LJcvLbRMNM/hqdefault.jpg "Dead of the Brain (PC Engine CD) Playthrough [English]
A playthrough of NECs 1999 horror adventure game for the PC Engine CD, Dead of the Brain.
Since the game was a Japanese-exclusive release, I am using a fan-made translation patch for this video. If youre interested in trying the game yourself, you can find the patch at https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7087/
Dead of the Brain, originally released by Fairytale in 1992 for the PC-98 (https://youtu.be/C71pQMbLpv8), x68000, and MSX2, was a horror-themed Snatcher-style visual novel. It was followed up by a direct sequel, also for Japanese PCs, in 1993.
Both games were later adapted for the PC Engine and released on a single-disc compilation. Dead of the Brain I & II, released in mid-1999 by NEC Home, was the final official release for the console.
I already spoke about the first game at length in my write-up of the PC98 version (linked above), so please check that out if youd like to know more about the games story and mechanics.
A few minor instances of censorship aside (the nudity has been toned down), the PC Engine version is a faithful conversion of what Fairytale had released seven years prior. In terms of presentation, the game falls somewhere between the 8 and 16-bit computer versions. It runs at a lower resolution than the PC98 and x68000 versions did, but the graphics are more colorful and detailed than the MSX2s, the loading times are speedy, and the PC Engine version is the only one to feature voice acting in key scenes. Considering that the PCE platform was already five years old when Dead of the Brain first appeared on computers, this is a pretty good showing for the NEC console.
If you like shlocky zombie movies, Snatcher, or The Terminator, check it out!
