Love the extra 'stamp on the peasant' villainy that you just don't get in the Mega Drive port. It's like the mooks don't care there's some lunatic dwarf that killed everyone in their path, they're just going to die doing what they love. Stamping on the peasants. Top tier villainy.
I love this game, I used to always play it with my dad growing up, but the reason I'm commenting is because this theme reminds me of my pet jumping spiders, because it's so happy, and they're the least intimidating spider ever, and they're so happy.
1:22 Making mooks drop off of cliffs *NEVER* gets old lmao. I once did the elevator stage of Streets of Rage throwing all but two or three guys over the edge. I imagined this big ass pile of splattered punks and kung fu assholes at the bottom. Next time I play, I'm gonna toss all of them.
noturnoandre1 There’s a thing called “settings”. Just simply press a simple hidden command and I boot up the settings showing if I wanna turn the violence on/off, change the blood color, input how many lives I want, set credit play to free play, change whatever difficulty each game offers, and many, many more. If I’m done, I select the exit door and the game reboots with its new stats. Take it from a guy learning how MAME works.
This game have the best sound of any Arcade. The slashing sound followed by two knocks *tonk-tonk on the head of bad guys are too cute to mention. One of my fav moves was to get two bad guys aligned left and right. Then unleash just one slash, left-right, left-right. This move get the other bad guys off your back and you have the luxury of working just these two blokes. When done, target the next duo and repeat until end of game. But beware, there is very little room for error with this move, especially when up against the skeleton crews.
Thanks dude! I really love this game. I just managed to break the world record for Contra arcade (normal difficulty) but im working on getting them for every difficulty now.
I remember back in 1989 when this arcade was in a shop by my house in the corner with 3 other arcades and one day as I was playing golden axe, some teen came by and broke into the arcade and left it unlocked for me so I can play for free only if I kept my mouth shut. I played and mastered this game in a week and I skipped school and got a good good whipping but it was worth it cause now I got an awesome story for anyone wanting to know about how arcades were back then . This game and Double Dragon 2 will always remind me that my childhood was awesome. The ending always had me in tears up until this day cause I wish monsters were chasing after me lol
A few of the death screams from this game were borrowed (and heavily digitized) from the movie Conan the Barbarian starring a young Arnold "I had to google his name for the proper spelling" Schwarzenegger. Great movie, check it out if you haven't already. One of the best original scores of all time.
This is so different from my experience in the dos version, the environment, the villagers. But I realy like the pc speaker sound. Nothing can beat that.
Haha yea I misread how much damage I did since the potions were supposed to finish the fight. The skeletons are much more dangerous than the humans so just avoiding having them spawn is a much better option.
Death Adder be like, " will 2 you fucking fucks, stop fucking around and help me? getting my fucking ass kicked over here by a fucking dwarf and a fucking blue dragon"
I never could understand why in GA2 they changed his lightning to falling pebbles/rocks to spinging vortex of rocks ?? And why they didnt do an arcade version of 2 and 3
I've watched this many a times but can somebody tell me why the jumping "axe/sword to the head" attack is so strong? (A 1 hit kill) That or the rolling attack? Was the game poorly coded and the developers did not realize these two over powered moves? 🤔
*Fun fact: the samples if the men screaming came from a Stallone movie. The ugh, ugh, ugggh-ah is a scene where a guy is thrown off of a bridge. I'm pretty sure it's one of the Rambo movies. Think they paid to use the sample? ;)*
I believe it was changed to silver in the Mega Drive version due to hardware limitations with the palette size (number of unique colours in a single sprite).
Steven Henderson yeah I noticed that too. Gilius never one shot anyone when I played the arcade version. Also why does the animal attacks take more to kill the enemies than the axe? That doesn't make any sense.
I really enjoy how much more detail and color there is in the arcade version. It would of been great to have the bonus stage along with it but that came our later.
arcade has different damage numbers, can 1 shot a majority of the human sized enemies with a plunge attacks. Sega version is different and enemies take more hits but Plunge will still do massive damage.

That isnt the real final boss...
@@-zSoloSz- it is for arcade dude...
@@-zSoloSz- noob
...the fact that you need "closure" tho
Pity you never beat it, I beat it a few times growing up, I loved the game as a kid, so I sank many many hours into it.
Holy shit, I just figured out that a lot of the screaming sound effects came from Rambo First Blood! Awesome!!!!

love em both
Always loved the death screams of the enemies.
Me too and taken from "First Blood"!

haha I did the same. Just imagine the mess lol.
You mean you can throw them off the elevator??
Ah man, thank you for quickly bringing back the memories of beating this game at the arcade when I was young.
no worries brother, thanks a bunch for watching.
the attacks seem to do allot more damage in this version
it's difficulty easy... you can change it in menu.
@@david55200 its arcade

WOW! Would have never considered this was a game that lasted under 10 minutes in the right hands. Well done!
Gilius is the choicest character in this game.
His back attack is the best
Yes.
tristan volk Hence the name "Golden Axe"
Ummm, Golden Axe?
@@ianipoo he did not use it in others versions

ya that is a awesome tactic!
Such a gymnastic grandpa. Good run
Great play through! I am only familiar to the Genesis port, so it was nice to see the differences! That ending curtain call is hilarious!
thnx dude. the arcade version is awesome :)
that up and down running strat is hilarious. great run. liked and subbed
loved this game, entertaining speed run, dont know why
i loved this game. I remember when playing with 2 players you could do the life glitch on the potion and turkey intermission stages
what is the life glitch?
yeah whats that
This was one of the few games I could do in the arcade on a single credit. Nice run.
thanks dude and great job!
you could do Paperboy on one credit?!
@@LIONTAMER3D No I'd get maybe a level or two in and that was it
haha those guys that get killed and yell: OOOOHHHH SSSSHHIIIIIIIITTTT hahahha
Great job bro! Congratulations! :)

Great news. You haven't been boondoggling :D That's for sure.
HENIGER: " Uh aaah...!
LONGMOAN: "Oh... God!!!!
STROBAYA: [in man's voice] "Oh!"
Thank you for using the special moves in the game. :)
I've watched playthroughs where people never do them at all!
thank you for watching!

incredible story, thank you for sharing that Felipe.
@@AdamBarkerThe thank you too for reading this
Brings back many memories
Like when I use to end this on 1 quarter at the arcades
well done!
Played this game for 30+ years, today I learned that Death Adder's minions disappear after he dies. I always killed them first!
7:35 This made me burst out laughing. Nonetheless an effective strat. Well played sir
Lol thanks it’s a pretty funny strat that works really well.
the FBI warning about winners not using drugs always gave me a laugh while beating arcade games on drugs =/
That's some great maneuvering at 7:30.
thanks dude! lots of practice but most of the time enemies won't hit you if you go up or down directly without stopping.
Quanto tempo não via esse Final, nostalgia pura e lembranças de uma adolescência divertida com os amigos no fliperama.
feliz que você gostou
Excelent game, a classic. You're good man.
This game kicked major ass growing up!!!
Nice Bugs Bunny strat for the final boss!!!
The death ader battle was amazing. Good job.
thank you dude
the last fight was just so dirty handed!
I like his redesign better. He actually looks bulkier and a tiny bit younger than how he is here.
A few of the death screams from this game were borrowed (and heavily digitized) from the movie Conan the Barbarian starring a young Arnold "I had to google his name for the proper spelling" Schwarzenegger. Great movie, check it out if you haven't already. One of the best original scores of all time.
The "Aaahh Gaaad!" death scream was borrowed from First Blood, the first Rambo film, when the policeman gets impaled on a spike trap.
This is so different from my experience in the dos version, the environment, the villagers. But I realy like the pc speaker sound. Nothing can beat that.
Ya all the versions are very different. the sega version has a whole other level with an incredibly tough final boss.
mi infancia vuelve a revivir...
Beautiful run but you were killing me during the battle with Death Adder by holding on to the potions till the end.
Haha yea I misread how much damage I did since the potions were supposed to finish the fight. The skeletons are much more dangerous than the humans so just avoiding having them spawn is a much better option.
Oh, in Arcade the animal sleep at the campfire. cool.
This brings back memories, except I would have died 100 times while making the video.
The guys with the maces when they perish: AAAH, CIAO :D
DUDE I use to play this game religiously on my Sega Genesis back in day that and alter beasts
Death Adder be like, " will 2 you fucking fucks, stop fucking around and help me? getting my fucking ass kicked over here by a fucking dwarf and a fucking blue dragon"
lol accurate
Now altered beast!
I got a no death run of altered beast!
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
that's impressive as hell man good job!
Oh, Shit! I Missed This! Cool, Though!
thanks man, first game I ever tried to speed run so I buggered the time a few times but it was fun!
Great ending!!
thanks for watching ^-^
No, thank YOU for uploading! :-)
The ending sucks. It wasn't even translated properly. Sega sucks and this game sucks. Too easy and there were better games around.
I never could understand why in GA2 they changed his lightning to falling pebbles/rocks to spinging vortex of rocks ?? And why they didnt do an arcade version of 2 and 3
Gillius posesses the golden axe
he should as it really looks like it! apparently it is the one at the end of the game though :(
gilius is so underrated
Death Adder was embarrassed here.
I've watched this many a times but can somebody tell me why the jumping "axe/sword to the head" attack is so strong? (A 1 hit kill) That or the rolling attack? Was the game poorly coded and the developers did not realize these two over powered moves? 🤔
Jogou muito!Errou pouco!Amo esse jogo obrigado pela nostalgia! Vlw 👏
I call bull, something was altered. A high jump attack on level 1 has to hit twice to kill an enemy.
this is the arcade version and you are 100% wrong dude. Load it up yourself if you wanna see.
You might be thinking the high weapon swing. His was a plunge attack.
why this game is 2 short in arcade version?
A extra stage was added in to the Sega Genesis Version when that came out later, Death Bringer Boss Fight and such.
The Mega Drive/Genesis version added some extra bits of gameplay to compensate for the downgraded cosmetics.
What a great run.
Thanks man, it was my first time really speedrunning a game. golden axe is always a good time!
Wow this version is far better than the pc version. And your character has a rolling attack
Well done :)
I never knew you could do a rolling attack.
All characters have a reverse attack by pressing attack and jump togther. Gilius is the best as he does this distant roll instead of just spinning.
great !
Amazing!
The dark souls guy actualy has a Golden Axe speed run? wtf!
It’s one of my favs!
*Fun fact: the samples if the men screaming came from a Stallone movie. The ugh, ugh, ugggh-ah is a scene where a guy is thrown off of a bridge. I'm pretty sure it's one of the Rambo movies. Think they paid to use the sample? ;)*
All the songs are good..!
Interesting tactics.
Does anyone know what compilation has the arcade version of Golden axe
i think you can download it on ps3 and arcade only.
@@AdamBarkerThethanks !
What? Dragons not escaoed after using magic?!
WELL DONE
thanks henri! my first speedrun but it went ok :)
recuerdo las tardes de pinta, y en las que mis ex-compañeros de secundaria y yo ibamos a las chispas a jugar este juego
¡Es un juego genial!
@@AdamBarkerThe yo me Eligia a la chica y la dejaba morir
Soy un pervertido
now the title makes sense, i dont know why in the gens version the axe is silver
it is very strange but the story actually has death adder stealing the golden axe so this axe isnt even the golden axe lol.
its better a golden axe that isnt story related that none lol cause i dont remember the death adder one being golden either haha
I believe it was changed to silver in the Mega Drive version due to hardware limitations with the palette size (number of unique colours in a single sprite).
I need a Gilius cosplay now lol
Brilliant!!!
cool, you do the same tricks I use to win without dying...!!! great job
Thank you, but I have a feeling he was under orders.....
Will you go into battle for me one last time?
Most of your enemy's die with one or two hits wtf
Steven Henderson yeah I noticed that too. Gilius never one shot anyone when I played the arcade version. Also why does the animal attacks take more to kill the enemies than the axe? That doesn't make any sense.
Connor Macgregor is the obvious choice...
Played GA on PC, that version has an extra level.
the genesis version also has the extra level with death bringer, wicked boss.
I prefer this to the watered down Genesis Version as that version doesn't have that same feel to it.
I really enjoy how much more detail and color there is in the arcade version. It would of been great to have the bonus stage along with it but that came our later.
@@AdamBarkerThe I agree
never actchliy beating the ending
It's missing tge last level! Once you save those two there is an inside level
this is the arcade version, the sega genesis version added the last level with death bringer.
You could have had level 3 magic if you had picked up the magic bottle at the end of stage 2
it doesn't matter if your are speed running because you have to save it up for the end of lvl 3 anywho.
Ah yeah. I see what you mean sir.
Nice!
How are you one hitting everything? I have the original and it takes quite a few hits for each enemy
arcade has different damage numbers, can 1 shot a majority of the human sized enemies with a plunge attacks. Sega version is different and enemies take more hits but Plunge will still do massive damage.
@@AdamBarkerThe Thanks for clarifying cheers
@@RedIce202 no problem man, good luck with your playthroughs.
Are some of the enemies screaming oh shit as they die??
yea, the screams are taken from a few movies like rambo and conan.
What a goofy ending!
Aren't you meant to fight the green skinned Death Adder in the throne room?
that was an added level and boss to the genesis/megadrive version :D
Oh God!
thanks for watchin dude
Ahh GAAAAAAADDD
Que diferente es la versión arcade de la de sega
This must have been on easy mode, a lot shorter and the bad guys died rather easy.
it is the arcade version and there is no easy mode.
lol u missed a shot. that was nice though jk. last guy you did so dirty
ya it wasn't the cleanest run but it was fun for my first speedrun!
Beginner mode
Sei proprio bravo...
Did I miss stage 2?
lol sick strat in stage 9 abusing the boss :D
Why are the enemies so easy to kill???? They aren't so easy on the version I play....sega megadrive classics on the ps4.
This is the arcade cabinet version, enemies are much weaker and the game is shorter.
Oh, Cmon...that's 8:29.
naaaaaah
Yeet job!
