Let's take time to appreciate how the sprite artists drew the walking animations from the front and from the *BACK!* That must've taken insane hours of work!
Golden Axe: Dude with sword, lady with sword, dwarf with axe Revenge of Death Adder: Dude with sword, centaur on her way to American Gladiator, Master Blaster from Mad Max 3 and the guy who killed Geralt of Rivia
@@Kj16V I think you're the one who got things turned around here. Vikashar thought that that the line was stolen by Raphael in the movie from this game, and I pointed out that that could not be possible, since the game was released in 1992, and the movie the line comes from was released in 1990.
You don't see it in this video, but if you try to do a magic attack while the shield is still around, it sucks up the potions and uses them to spit a magic attack at YOU.
@@triplehate6759 Yup. That special attack totally caught me off guard when I played this game in the arcades way back when. "Oh yeah, you want a piece of me, Death Adder?! Let me just get out my max 13-magic spell here and... Wait, what's happening? Oh no, OH NO-"
Considering Gillius is a Dwarf, he likely long outlived Ax and Tyris. At least now he can reunite with his pals in the afterlife. Does Golden Axe have something akin to Valhalla?
@@Blayne06 Nothing official as far as I remember, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. May the halls of Valhalla welcome thee, Gillius! Ax and Tyris have been waiting! 🍻⚔
Yeah. :( I really, really miss the old school side-scrolling beat'em-up games like Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Final Fight, TMNT et al. I know there are indie games out there that attempt to capture the same sort of feel, but I dunno... Something always feels missing. It might be linked to the physical presence of standing at an arcade cabinet mashing buttons alongside 2 or 3 other random kids and pumping in quarter after quarter at a particularly tough boss.
Holy crap, am I actually first? Must say something meaningful.... Uh, POTATOES! No wait, I mean, how do her legs work? She was a centaur, then she wasn’t, then she is. We cool, though, seems fun.
I can't believe that Sega never took the chance to port it on the Saturn. True it came in a timeframe where 16 bit consoles weren't powerful enough and 32 bit were still to come but... sad.
Aaawwww.....this is bringing back so many classic arcade memories. I used to love playing through it as "Dora the Centaura explora"!! Funny how she turns into a 2 legged human damsel while riding other beasts. What kinda sorcery is this?
@@Blayne06 Ah, never thought of that since he usually prefers playing as the female in most of the games he plays. Still, this game has some incredible animations and sprites. I wonder if it's available on one of the Sega collections?
"See you next game"?? Now I really wish that this game had a sequel. And why couldn't this beautiful arcade game become Golden Axe 3 on the Genesis instead of that bastardized GA3???
I keep wondering.... When does *"Primal Rage"* or *"Bloody Roar"* ? But if Nintendo again sued because it doesn't stand them making Games for the Love of Mario..... How about one day a Video of *All the Beasts/Mounts* of the *Golden Axe Saga*
It's a shame this game didn't have any Tyris stand-in... I mean, we had an Ax stand-in and Gilius himself, but no one to fill in the role that Tyris had. And Dora the Exploring Centaur doesn't count.
Gotta reuse them bosses. But seriously, they could have avoided a lot of repeats here by making a boss only appear at the end of each stage, as opposed to 2-3 of them per one stage.
You might want to correct the 5th (edit: and 9th) boss enemy... it's not a Cyclops - if you look closely, it has two eyes. More like an overgrown Orc or smth...

Prolly a lot of coke fueled benders
This game was surely ahead of its' time, all the work at all the characters' sprites and stuff . . . It's beautiful!
I miss the Golden Axe series.
Ah these fair weather mythological beings...
20:47 Always a good time when the villain is as tenacious as the player, Adder is just downright *refusing* to stay the hell down.
Shame there's not many games where you can play something exotic, like a Centaur warrior woman.
When she rides something she grows human legs. She might just be in a suit lmao.
Golden Axe: Dude with sword, lady with sword, dwarf with axe
Revenge of Death Adder: Dude with sword, centaur on her way to American Gladiator, Master Blaster from Mad Max 3 and the guy who killed Geralt of Rivia
You passing up all that food and magic made my anxiety go through the roof. Im guessing you didn't hear me yell at you, "GET THE FOOD AND MAGIC" haha
3:36 Wait, that voice clip is from the first Ninja Turtles movie! It’s Raph shouting “DAMN!” after chasing Casey Jones!
I think it is. Sneaky little easter egg right there.
Maybe Raph shouting that was stolen from this game. Did you think of that?
@@Vikashar That's not possible. This game was released in 1992, and the movie the voiceclip comes from was released in 1990.
@@robinengstrom4549 Did you mean to put the dates the other way round? Because if the game came out after the movie, that would work perfectly!

Death Adder seems to use shields for anything but defending himself....he also refuses to give up, such persistence.

F for Gillius Thunderhead. Went down taking his nemesis Death Adder with him. What a legend! 👍

He died as every dwarf dreams of, taking his enemy to Hell himself. I pray to Eru-Ilúvatar to have a chance to die in that way.
This second part was a worthy sucessor.. It sads my heart we will never see something like this anymore.

@@Zaxares Arcade galleries were our social media, that's what indie games lack.
Don't sad your heart. Happy it instead
Having the still living head of a fallen dragon fixed to your shield would be right at home in Dark Souls.
so she's like... only sometimes a centaur??
Shortcuts to avoid weirdness
Centaur magic =D
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Same thing that happen to Motaro post Mortal Kombat 3, in the pre-netherealm era games. Dude wasn't four legged in-game since.
Goah carries Gillius on his back. Best character.
3:34 Boss said “ Daaaammnnn!!”
Love how she suddenly changes legs to ride monsters, like it's just wearing a costume to pretend she's a centaur.
I thought about it! 😳❤
Holy crap, am I actually first?
Must say something meaningful....
Uh,
POTATOES!
No wait, I mean, how do her legs work? She was a centaur, then she wasn’t, then she is. We cool, though, seems fun.
Gee, it sure is boring around here . . .
She's a centaur normally, but her legs transform into human legs when she's riding a creature.
Mah boy, this centaur babe is what all true warriors strive for. 🤫
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 I just wonder what Death Adder's up to.
Squadala!!! We’re off!!!
Gilius Thunderdead
I can't believe that Sega never took the chance to port it on the Saturn. True it came in a timeframe where 16 bit consoles weren't powerful enough and 32 bit were still to come but... sad.
Or make it Golden Axe 3
Death adders fall scream, is the helicopter fall scream from rambo 1st blood.
Death Adder’s laugh sounds like Kermit the Frog and Fozzy Bear from the muppets
Golden Axe games were just way ahead of their times.
'What is it now Baldrick?'
'Well Mr Adder Sir, it seems there's a whole group of people that want you dead this time.'
'How utterly unsurprising'
Gillius fulfilling his slayer oath. The grudge is settled.
Warhammer reference.
i love that bar has bar stools from our time
One of my favourite game franchises growing up.
Well played
21:28 gilius!!😧😧
I remember seeing these in the arcade and wanting to play it sooo bad because it looked so good
Aaawwww.....this is bringing back so many classic arcade memories. I used to love playing through it as "Dora the Centaura explora"!!
Funny how she turns into a 2 legged human damsel while riding other beasts. What kinda sorcery is this?
Anybody hearing voice clips from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and First Blood in this game? 21:20 and 21:36, I mean.
this looks fun
Today Dora the Explorer will learn to defeat Death Adder
Sounds like Legend SNES Version
Heh. Fire-breathing mantis mount. Never thought I'd see something this hilariously fun.
I was a fan of the Lightning Scorpion myself. I wonder why Shadowserg never uses them at all in this video though.
Gillius ain't no fool. He went for the head!
Wai.. does.... Gilius die in the Arcade ver?
Quick question, why you wouldn't choose a character that is a CENTAUR?
Like, one of the best mythological creatures.
@YOXOMO 's its privated, you can still access those videos trough the wikia.
dora looks a `dora` ble lol
It's so weird that her horse body morphs to human legs when she's riding a mount. Guess the devs had no choice though
_ba-dum tsssh_
It's honestly kinda lame how most of the bosses are recycled, especially given how good the rest of the game looks.
Press F to respect for Gilius Thunderhead
Hmm, Death adders demise sounds like a copper falling out of a chopper.
Because it’s from First Blood.
A giant praying mantis that shoots Flamethrower in its mouth... Cool!!!
Wow. Shades of Krull. What a kick ass centaur woman!
Death Adder sounded like Galt on Rambo first blood when he fell out of the copter.
Serg, I was just wondering... why do you often include gameplay that isn't boss fights in the videos?
That bad brother says bruh
22:00 is some... _unfortunate..._ sprite placements, just sayin' :o
The way magic is represented as potions reminds me of Gauntlet
You always pick the characters i like.
Centaur lady~
Trix kinda looks like Tetsuo from Akira.
Wait, why change characters at Warrior Woman 2? Was it part of the story?
Serg probably hit a Game Over at some point, and decided to switch up characters.
@@Blayne06 Ah, never thought of that since he usually prefers playing as the female in most of the games he plays.
Still, this game has some incredible animations and sprites. I wonder if it's available on one of the Sega collections?
how did she go from riding a mantis to centaur legs?
EAT THIS GUYS!
Why wasn't this ever ported to the Saturn?
22:06 the centaur had a final prize xd
Me encanto el video y la mantis
Ohh el sacrificio de gilius thunderhead,siempre seras recordado gilius,porfin vengo la muerte de su hermano y podra descanzar en paz.
"See you next game"?? Now I really wish that this game had a sequel. And why couldn't this beautiful arcade game become Golden Axe 3 on the Genesis instead of that bastardized GA3???
Need more millenium again maybe...
i love your gameplays
I keep wondering.... When does *"Primal Rage"* or *"Bloody Roar"* ?
But if Nintendo again sued because it doesn't stand them making Games for the Love of Mario..... How about one day a Video of *All the Beasts/Mounts* of the *Golden Axe Saga*
It's a shame this game didn't have any Tyris stand-in...
I mean, we had an Ax stand-in and Gilius himself, but no one to fill in the role that Tyris had.

Fire breathing praying mantises?!
Este juego lo hiciste como novato...
Whoa golden axe not on genesis sad :(

A damn shame this game never got ported to any consoles in any form unlike so many other sega games in compations and whatnot.
MASSA VC E MUITO FODA
Шикарная игрулина.
No fim das contas este Golden Axe não é tão interessante como eu pensava,apenas os gráficos realmente se destacam...
