An Arcade shoot 'em up developed by Konami, which was later ported to FDS and NES respectively. The FDS version was released in 1988 by Konami and the NES version was released in 1989 by Ultra.
This is the FDS version of Gyruss, which was released in 1988 by Konami. The intro and the credit is different from the North America release, and there is an FDS audio expansion in this version, which definitely sounds better in my opinion. Hope you enjoy!

Zelda game by Capcom.
Follow Zelda as he uses a stick to change the weather. A big d00d is involved. Two witches may or may not be involved.
Part of a series (Oracle), this game focuses on lots of action. Other than that, it is just another Zelda game.
This longplay goes for all Heart Pieces and Secrets (passwords). The non-Linked longplay was played first to get access to the Red Ring, which ended up breaking the Linked Ages playthrough. The Seasons Linked longplay is from a 3-game clear, going to a fourth clear (Seasons to Ages, then Ages to Seasons). I dont attempt to get the Red Ring in the Linked Seasons longplay since it requires too much work to get. Speaking of Red Ring: I dont abuse it in the Linked portion of Seasons.

No music during the intro. Only in the title screen. Comparing it to the Amiga version its really slow and the controls are unresponsive at times.

Yeah, a Pac-Man clone.
Oh man, what a grind. Was close to giving up almost every level after 30. The enemies started moving faster and faster, and the duration of the bananas and weapon (before it despawns) got shorter and shorter. In the beginning it was pretty easy to complete the levels as you could take a banana and have like 10 seconds to chase down the enemies to kill them, but after level 30 or so it was stupidly hard. The bananas and weapon lasted like 1 sec, the enemies ran faster than you, so you couldnt chase them down after taking a banana, or outrun them if they decided to come after you.
So repetitive and boring. Same graphics and music throughout the whole game (not counting the title screen). I was thinking they maybe change the gfx and music every 10 levels, but nope.
Many levels have stupid design, which traps you from the start, IF an enemy decides to come your way. Theres long one-way paths which you must go to get the coins, but then also go BACK, so if an enemy decided to enter the path, youre screwed. There was usually a banana at the end of these paths, but they were to 0 use, as they only lasted a second, and even if you took one a millisecond before an enemy reached you, you still wouldnt be able to touch the enemy as they ran as soon as you take one, and they are faster than you (in later levels that is).
This game was totally not fully playtested, or they would have discovered how unfairly difficult it would get. Im sure no one has completed this game without some form of cheat. I used savestates, which is allowed in the longplays/speedrun communities, but even with those it was almost impossible. Took days, as I went back and forth (needed the breaks from frustration). Like I said before, was close to giving up many times. Im sure you cant complete this game even if you start with 100 lives. On some levels I could easily lose 20 lives.
The way they go seem to have something to do with how you move the player. For example, There could be an enemy going left and coming up to an intersection of a path leading up and down, while I might be walking right, if I save the game and load, he takes the upward path every time, but if I load and decide to move in another direction, theres a chance he change his direction. Sometimes I had to stop and wiggle the joystick to get some of them to change their direction. I could be pressing down towards a wall, without moving anywhere as theres a wall there, and it still sometimes would affect the enemies. At some levels I was surrounded and died like 10 times before I managed to make them change their paths, as just one of them changing wasnt enough, as most of them were coming for me. If their paths couldnt have been controlled like this, the game would have been even harder. Again, if I didnt move, or just moved the same direction every time, they too would move in the same direction, so its not random. Guess their pathfinding code gets confused or something. Oh well...
You seem to get an extra life every 20k points.
I noticed at 44:46 that the bananas also needs to be taken for the exit to appear, thought at first it was just the coins.
Level 23 at 00:38:12 says Too DREAM
Level 30 at 00:50:15 says AMIGA.
Level 50 at 01:25:48 says THE END
These are probably just coincidences, as it doesnt look like the stuff THAT much, but at 00:10:43 it looks like JiM or JiMeY, probably not intended, as they are not complete. Could for example have used a line in the middle of the y (a couple in E as well). 00:06:32 kinda looks like a face.
An extras video, showing the level editor and a couple of other things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spv_oLnoTIg
At first I had this extras part at the end of the longplay, but during cropping I noticed the editor is 512p in height, so excluded it as I didnt want the whole movie to have loads of black space above and below.
