www.longplays.org Played by: ScHlAuChi Probably the best Asterix game ever made, i play through it twice: 00:00:00 Asterix - 00:43:55 Obelix - Disclaimer: Most videos by World of Longplays use SaveStates!
It's a nice detail that the enemies scurry away scared once they're defeated, instead of just vanishing like other games of this genre. And it's very in character too!
Konami always did a fantastic job making arcade games based on franchises! The best thing is that they stayed true to source material and most of them were beat-'em-ups :D
I played this once as a child on a random arcade in Birmingham UK (at "Birmingham Wheels") - the music stayed with me my whole life. 20 years later I'm looking it up on youtube :)
Back in 1995 my girlfriend and I took a train from Vermont to Montreal for a comiccon...afterwards we smoked a big fattie and wandered around the city...we found this crazy comic shop/arcade where they had this coin-op game...dumped about $10 Canadian into it...good fun...
I can remember playing this as a young kid in the 90s on holiday in Italy. Really great! I think here in Germany these acrades did not really exist, at least not for underage people.
I played this recently on MAME, and it was brilliant. I know a Konami 90s Arcade Beat-Em Up Collection would be a nightmare (so many licenses!) but I would buy it in a second as there would be so many great games in there... Turtles, X-Men, Simpsons... they must have put something in the water there in the 90s.
I find it interesting that the text is in both french and english in this game. I mean, granted it's a game based on a french comics series, but i wouldn't have expected this level of detail for an arcade game.
I *actually* remember this arcade game at my local Odeon cinema during the 1990s (Brighton). Along with "The Simpsons". *ME OLD NOW!* PS: Going to Parc Asterix remains on my bucket list!
I once bought an old arcade machine on a flea market, and a box with 7 games for it, including this one (the "game cartridge" for old arcade machines are large circuit boards, ca. 40x30cm, and you had to open the whole machine to change it.) Sold it years later to a collector, for 4 times what I bought it for :)
To this day, i still don't see how the chariots stages fit in Asterix's universe but i also used countless coins in this game (and never went far in it). i also believe it's the greatest Asterix game ever made. Oo, there's also some sort of mine riding stages...
CarozQH I honestly can't see a 6-inch tall blue guy beating the living hell out of a 5'8" balding wizard or his ratty-looking cat. It'd probably happen the other way around. Just sayin'.
Asterix: quando i disturbi di personalità del francese sciovinista medio, che non riesce ad accettare un dominio straniero del passato remoto, prendono forma. Comunque un bel personaggio e gioco fighissimo.
Peccato che i nostri nonni Romani li hanno imposto la lingua e la religione (finora parlavano una lingua neolatina ed erano cattolici, domani saranno meticci e musulmani)
In looking for a game... amiga... i can remember a horse with a carriage? Behind it... and suddenly a bad Guy gets next to iT and snatches the girl out of it... you as a player jump on the horse and chase the guy.. you have to avoid obstacles.. after that level you are in a city .. can’t remember more.. does anyone know?
Probably because at that time the home console Astérix license was held by Sega for his own systems and by Infogrames for the Nintendo ones. This was the same problem Konami had with The Simpsons license, held by Acclaim in the console front and the reason why in that case they could only release the arcade game on computers.
@@WeskerSega asterix wasn't licenced with sega or nintendo. the company of the asterix cartoon own the licence. some arcade games just don't make good console ports. arcade game too hard and not big enough, for example. in the arcade you're constantly flooded with enemies and this makes the game last over an hour otherwise you'd fly through it in 5minutes.
@@fraser_mr2009 You don't seem to understand how licensed videogames work. Sega had the Asterix license to work with for their own systems (Master System, Game Gear and Mega Drive) back in the day. Infogrames had it for the rest of home platforms, which include the Nintendo systems and also the computer ones. Konami was stuck with the arcade license and therefore couldn't bring this game home. It wasn't because of what you say about arcade games because arcade games were big on 8 and 16 bit consoles back in the day and they actually brought some of their other licensed arcades like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ones to home platforms, because they could do it due to owning the licenses. Konami also faced a similar problem with their The Simpsons arcade game, they could only get the license for arcade and also home computers this time (so they also ported the game to PC and Commodore 64) but couldn't to consoles because Acclaim had it first. That's how things actually worked back then and it's a known fact that Konami would have brought this game to consoles if they could have.
+Ryuma King Thanks for the comment. I bet you're great at chess :-) Personally I'm a little more "hyperactive" when it comes to video games, and I need to be constantly moving a character, like in this arcade or a platformer

@@JokMajak in those Times, Konami and Capcom were Kings of the Beat-Em' Up.
@@joseguevara8321 And Sega to an extent too.
@freakyfornash Nowadays, they are shells of their former selves.
This was always one of my favourites in the arcade, definitely one of the best Asterix games ever made.

And you can play it now on Mame ☺️
Same except I played in Oasis market
This is from era when Konami was on the peak of its creativity
pro tip: watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Marley Parker definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
@@boonejalen6112 Spam
Definitely. Their beat-em ups from this period were at the top…. And most of them were media adaptations (TMNT, Simpsons, X-Men, Asterix, etc.).

Konami should release an anthology for its arcade games. Asterix, Ninja Turtles, Simpsons and many more.
This is probably never going to happen. It would be incredibly expensive and hard to acquire all the licenses.
@@jayden6538 not mention konami now in days
They rereleased turtles
@@alexkelly6449 And Simpsons too, albeit only on Arcade1up machines lol
By fartherst, the best Astérix-inspired game ever made!!!
Yes
This was the first time I'd heard of Asterix when I came across the arcade machine at the resort I was staying at in Tenerife whilst on holiday
R.I.P. Mr Uderzo 😥

I remember seeing this game in Venice, Italy about 16 years ago...
I played this and Moonwalker like every day in the arcades as a kid.

exactly the same! 90s, holidays italy!
12:45 "THAT...DAMN...PIZZA!"
I loved to play this videogame
WHAT A MEMORIES
One of the best "beat em up" of all time.
Before Saitama there was Obelix who one shotted entire armies of romans.
Childhood memories!
But could you still play it tho?? 😏

Good ol' Asterix, kicking ass those Romans.
Le meilleur jeu Astérix toute génération confondu, même le dernier baffes les tous n’est pas aussi bon
Konami always made the best game soundtracks!
RIP Uderzo
it makes me wonder how many people outside of Europe know of the Asterix comics / cartoons. Here, they are incredibly famous
Un des jeux d'arcade qui m'ait fait le plus fantasmer... J'y ai joué une fois. Depuis, je rêve d'y rejouer !
Tu peux le faire en émulation, avec l'émulateur Mame et la rom adaptée.
@@GrandSachemEthylique Eh oui ! Depuis, je me suis monté une arcade avec PM88. Ce jeu est incroyable. Et quel plaisir d'y jouer avec ma fille ^^

Very good graphics for his time.
(Finishing Moves)
Asterix: Magic Potion
Obelix: Roast Boar
Came here after the announcement of the new Asterix and Obelix game hyped as fuck
I know this is the silliest detail to get hung up on, but I laughed at the man-eating sharks in the English Channel.
I once bought an old arcade machine on a flea market, and a box with 7 games for it, including this one (the "game cartridge" for old arcade machines are large circuit boards, ca. 40x30cm, and you had to open the whole machine to change it.)
Sold it years later to a collector, for 4 times what I bought it for :)
This game never ends it's like the arcades from the 80's
A remake would be nice.
Asterix Slap Them All in November.😉
@@OlderRockRocks Its not remake at all. Its completely different trust me. But yet its still fun and enjoyable don,t get me wrong.
@@s-gamer2705
I never said Asterix Slap Them All is a remake. IT was a hint that there will be a new game.
Never knew they made one for Asterix! That's cool!
I remember being really good at this game. I wasn't very good at beat em ups as a kid, but this one I could beat. Also it was very fun to play.
To this day, i still don't see how the chariots stages fit in Asterix's universe but i also used countless coins in this game (and never went far in it). i also believe it's the greatest Asterix game ever made.
Oo, there's also some sort of mine riding stages...
Did you read the comics?! In the comics and the cartoons you will see them riding charriots ;)
RIP uderzo
We need this on switch.
Why didn't Konami also make a Smurfs arcade game?
CarozQH I honestly can't see a 6-inch tall blue guy beating the living hell out of a 5'8" balding wizard or his ratty-looking cat. It'd probably happen the other way around. Just sayin'.
+CarozQH good questions, I think Smurfs didn't make the game. sadly. :(
I'd probably be down for a Popeye beat'em up by Konami. (The Nintendo one is a puzzle platformer that wasn't created during the 16-bit era)
Back when Konami didn't resort to making pachinko machines out of their classics like Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill.
I Remember playing this. Freaking awesome.
They could have at least clipped Ceasar one or two for good measure at the end.

Weird how panacea is walking around the forest completely oblivious to the fact romans are everywhere
Now go look at the NES version and weep at what you didn't have access to from home XD
RIP MR UDERZO .
Never played it, looks like a fun game! =)
It looked awesome on crt arcade screen like all of those games
If two players play, Obelix cuddles Asterix during victory.
06.08 asterix and egypte in egypt is my favorite music and all
This once had Hanna -Barbera written all over this,just like the Smurfs.
Yoo-hoo!
Konami always looking for their next TMNT coin muncher.
Loved playing this shit with my brother

looks like a very fun game!
I dont know why they couldn't port this to the Snes or Megadrive- it would have been great- like a slapstick Streets of Rage or Final Fight!

Me encantaba este juego!!!
Great game
Is it normal that after few continues it goes automatically in game over?
Yes.
This game has a very SNK like quality to it.
Whoever made this game got India confused with Arabia
this is one of the few times where a game is in 2 languages instead of 1, when most games would change languages in a re-release or a DIP switch.
I beat This game one credit on arcade :) as A Child 30 guys Many older watching :) i feel like A boss :)
More older :) sorry English but jestem Polakiem i jestem dumny :) piękne czasy :)
Wow, you are such a badass. I have only managed to get to stage 6 using one coin at best as a kid. = (
I got filtered so hard in the Egyptian section, maybe I ought to really buy a controller with a joystick
Wow, this is nothing like that Commodore 64 Asterix game :D
Jadi ingat waktu zaman SD tahun 90's main dingdong (video game) coin 100rupiah.. Indahnya kala itu..
Betul, tapi saya ga begitu jago kalo memainkan game ini 😂😂, game nya susah....
I think the best are this and the Master System game
+Rodrigo de Cos Gawrysiak The strategy game on the PSX and PC is also great.
+Ryuma King
Thanks for the comment. I bet you're great at chess :-)
Personally I'm a little more "hyperactive" when it comes to video games, and I need to be constantly moving a character, like in this arcade or a platformer
The snes version is great too.
Asterix and Obelix v.s. Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo
or
Asterix and Obelix v.s. Augustus Caesar and Agrippa
Which duo wins?

Well I knew that movie like a ship
I wondered why those grunts sounded similar to *Lethal Enforcers (1)* especially when the Romans get smacked so silly.

1:03:11 is that what they called a "Battering ram"?
The reused a sampling from Lethel Enforcers.
This arcade game should be available on game pass or PSstore…
Wow Schilauchi is an Asterix fan
well well well , guess what just happened chat, we've got a remake!
Best asterix und Obelix game
This is soo much better than the xxl series
No
The XXL series was nice but I think it can become repetitive real quick sometimes.
Lolodachi XXL series is not repetitive, they are fantastic for me because I love this games!
This game need come it ps4 n xbox
And Switch.
