Do you remember that game for sega....it was too down, like sci-fi type, action game. But it had book style RPG elements? Like you could modify your body and stuff, and by bionic parts? I CANNOT remember the name, and so i cannot find it to look up. Someone MUST know!
Thats it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are my hero!!!!!!!!!! How did you know?!?!?! I only was able to borrow it from a friend for a week. Not enough to get really into it but, I freakin loved it. Now i know the name, I can find it again.

Eh... I'm in my 40s. Skyrim (heavily modded) or say Elden Ring if you like, is MILES better than this in every single way. I really think people who say gaming was better in the 90s are on some kind off odd drug I want no part of. Seriously how is this better than Skyrim or Oblivion with 200 mods? Explain it to me. I loved gaming in the 90s but when I go back and try to play these games it's just junk, I can't do it. The problem now is how woke games are getting, but gameplay wise, modern games (as in games made in the last 15 years lets say) are MILES better than games made in the 1990s.

Beautiful pixel art with a sufficient soundtrack...I remember being intrigued by this game back in the day, but for whatever reason I never picked it up. Thanks for the play-through! Looks like I missed out on a decent game...
Do any of you remember a side scrolling medieval fantasy RPG, where you would have armor, and each hit the enemy landed on you knocked a piece off? And you could move the joystick up and down really fast to create this forcefield in front of you? It was usually just used to get through parts of the level where lots of projectiles were coming at you.
Great job as always. Nice the Midas spell turns a group of clustered enemies into needed cash. Shame you wouldn't be able to see your Big Bad Final Boss before she became a dragon. Would have been great to see a transform sequence. You turned your swordswoman into a crossbow babe, great for distance battles.
I used to dislike the genesis/megadrive sound (nintendo kid here) but now I've come to see its appeal. It's a very vaporwavy, blade runner-esque vibe. Thanks for showing us games we missed as children, now with our current perspective 😊.
I wanna remember an old game that's bugging me.. I can't remember it but I recall little pieces.. argh.. so bloody annoying. But I SWEAR it was in the arcades like Golden Axe.!? You had a whip / spiked ball chain thing that went out pretty far..? You swing off long chains I think ( maybe static ones ). Big character like Ax Battler guy. I think I remember some sort of electric magic power or something. Dark like altered beast / golden axe.. but maybe being 20+ years ago my mind now thinks this thing exists and maybe it was just golden axe 2 or 3.
The character you describe and his weapon sounds an awful lot like Simon Belmont from Castlevania. Maybe the game is Haunted Castle (the Arcade version of Castlevania 1).?
muy buen juego yo lo jugue infinidad de veces en mi sega genesis..lo mejor es cuando llegas al dragon final. en este gameplay en el primer mundo le falto saltar a la lava y encontrar el cofre oculto, intentalo la proxima ves que lo juegues... grasias por el recuerdo de este bonito juego creo que lo jugare de nuevo...
Don´t comment, don´t comment, don´t comment! Ah, to hell with it! Geez, not even Elvira is such showoff with her natural two D weapons! This one even has white tip! But seriously, you are much better in platformers than I ever was :)
I didn't have this game, but I did have Bram Stoker's Dracula, and this strikes me as a way better version of that game. I know there are probably many closer comparisons I could draw, but I was mainly a sports gamer.
greed has left behind a legacy of dormant EA IPs that may never see the light again, like the Desert Strike and Road Rash properties that only got re-released on PSP.
4:15 Level 1.2 b4 in the lava, when you have to jump the rocks (b4 the lower part with the chest followed by the fire guys), if you stay on the fifth rock it will send you flying in the air where if you fight your way all the way to the left, you get a blast stick n a potion.
in this game the wizard and the woman is cool to play but barbarian guy is bit of a challenge and his upgrade doesnt feel...upgrade except the damage part
Its a game that encourage exploration. There are secret rooms, and part of the fun of the game is finding out which way to go and where hidden chests/items are. Should dungeons be "easy" to complete? Where's the fun in that?
@@Melvinvanharn I guess, it's just "not my cup of tea". I liked the game "Warlock" on the Sega Genesis, there were also a lot of hidden rooms in the castles, but imho it was better implemented. I guess it is the constant changing between different rooms/screens, that I don't like. But glad, that you enjoy it. Overall the game doesn't look bad.
Absolutely loved this game. Played it all the time when I was a kid. I absolutely adore that goofy item collection/drop sound.

Man fantasy games in the 1990s were really ahead of their time.

This is totally not ahead of it's time. It is very 90s/80s barbarian. Just like rastan, sword of sodan and golden axe.

My favourite Sega game ever. Cant get enought of it. Its to me, just an epic game. :D

What an amazing Rastan & Golden Axe inspiration⚔✨
The music in some games 1985-1995 are fantastic
Great graphics, music, and just play well bro!
Never played this game but already knew what it would sound like before even playing it 😂
Woah! Why am I just learning about this game now? I would have easily rented or bought this back in the day.
Beautiful pixel art with a sufficient soundtrack...I remember being intrigued by this game back in the day, but for whatever reason I never picked it up. Thanks for the play-through! Looks like I missed out on a decent game...
era of true sound, no PCM mathematics, no emulations for PCM, lovely
I can't believe this was made by EA! Before the dark times, before the greed.
Just discovered this game today. Played it all day and beat it. What a friggin gem. I had never even heard of it.
I like that Charleston Heston is leading this crew into battle.
This must be Rastan's would-be wife.

There is nothing to dislike there.

This game looks amazing. Why is it only know that I learn of its existence?
i only found it because it has good drum samples
I rented this a lot but then forgot it's name. I've been trying to find it for almost 20 years now.
What if Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, and Merlin fight together against evil?
Replace Merlin with a Dwarf from LOTR and you got Golden Axe. 🔥

love that GODS feel

I'm not understanding the mechanic by which you turn a bunch of enemies into items, how does that work?
Side scrolling Golden axe
A Sega Mega Drive game getting 60k views in one single month?
How did that happen? haha
Anyway, I love the Mega Drive and always will, cool name too
Is it me, or did your remix the music / OST from the Bitmap Bros game, Gods?
AWESOME !!!!!!
The year of release ? Anyone knows ?
1993

does this game have CD quality audio mod like MSU1 on Snes?

Damn, the game certainly doesn't give you much time to react to enemies, given how little you can see in front of you when you walk.

5 y/o me was always a failure. a disapointment to everyone.cant even play video games right.
