On The Complete History show this week we are looking at the creation of the Golden Axe franchise, who made it, why it got made and what has happened to it in more recent years.
It's a series with a lot of ups (including in the arcade with the often over looked revenge of death adder game) and the rather obscure 3rd entry which was only ever released in the states via the sega geneses / mega drive online service... very strange
Also, we will not be forgetting about the (100% not a rip off from zelda) Golden Axe Warrior game too. And the long lost Golden Axed game too

I'm sure you've been told this a million times but the reason Japanese devs used aliases in credits was because they were forced to so other companies wouldn't poach them.

@mbdelorenzo 3 месяца назад

That's sad, honestly. You don't get credit and you don't get offered higher salaries elsewhere. The better solution is to just pay your employees more than your competitors.

@Bancheis 6 лет назад

I think it's unfair to call Tyris Flare a "token" female character. When I was a girl and teen I loved playing Golden Axe as Tyris and thought she was the coolest. Her character was given the same care as the other two in the first game and her animations are great.

@todesziege 6 лет назад

Not to mention she had the most impressive magic spells. Also, Golden Axe is the earliest beat 'em up I can think of which *has* a female character option, so it was hardly a token at the time.

@cheese4g 8 месяцев назад

Your prayers may have been answered! SEGA just announced five new games from long dormant franchises today, including Golden Axe! We only got about five seconds of gameplay footage, but I'm really intrigued by what we see, and it looks as if the original 3 heroes are back with some slight redesigns. Ax looks more barbariany with some furs and a much bigger sword, Gilius is buff to the point that he looks like a square made of muscle (and I mean that as a compliment, that's how dwarves should look), and Tyris has some kind of double-bladed sword weapon now, which makes her the coolest.

Yes... that was also the case with the original _Legend of Zelda_ (and its sequel, _The Adventure of Link_). For example, Shigeru Miyamoto went by "S. Miyahon," Koji Kondo as "Konchan" and Tadashi Sugiyama used "Sugiyan."

@maosama3695 7 лет назад

usually they put their real names hidden away in the games codes if you tinker about with it's data. some even put their phone numbers. did you play Dungeons and dragons side scroller games when you were a kid? imo it is the best side scroller game ever. character designs and skills for each characters are just awesome.

I like the third. I recently made Chaos Lait on the new Soul Calibur 6 game. Imagine it. After the matters of Golden Axe III, Chaos winds up taking the Golden Axe and forced into a new world by the colliding powers of Soul Edge and the Golden Axe pulling him through the Astral Plains. Another venture that must be seen through after his famed fight with the Lord Hellstrike. Also set up a bit of something where a descendant of Chronos, or his tribe, covers his head and face in a hood wrap, takes the Golden Axe and the name of Chaos Lait as he goes forward on his quest.

@thezhdanovich 6 лет назад

I believe Golden Axe 3 was a decent game. Sure, lost some identity, but was fun to play with good graphics and outstanding music.

@Bangcat 5 лет назад

Think that often tends to happen when you put so much on your original characters, and then try to move onto a new generation. I think that's part of the problem Soul Calibur V had. Thankfully you could take the weapon styles and create some replacements of your own, but also re create older characters no longer there. However there, there were also some slight game mechanic miss steps. Soul Calibur 6 is right where it should be and hopefully may be the return of the franchise's greatness. So far it seems to be. It's an extra good thing because many of the upstairs guys at Namco were ready to leave the franchise in the graveyard.

@mgm6229 5 лет назад

Indeed. I don't understand either why Golden Axe 3 get so much flak. Although the graphics are worse than the previous two entries, the game mechanics are better and more complex, it has branching paths, combined attacks and magic, more moves, and a great soundtrack. And the story is neither better nor worse than the previous entries. Kind of the same. For me, the best GA game ever.

@THEshaggyrogers 5 лет назад

Telephantasm true, golden axe 2 was basically the same thing. I liked the 2 new characters especially that panther man.but I do miss thunderhead and I do hope golden axe 4 (if they even make one) is either a remake of revenge of death adder or just that with 1 or 2 characters like they did with streets of rage

Replayed it kinda 30 times, each time its gameplay proved to be even better, than I thought before. Revenge of Death Adder is fun, ofcourse, but fighting there is quite shallow to replay it that many times.

A neat trick in the original Golden Axe arcade, is that you can give full health to another player. To pull it off, the player has to have one health bar left. During the camp/thief state, the player with the most health has to smack around the one health bar player, but not knock him or her down. Repeat til the last health bar is gone showing zero health. Next stage, tadaa! The player with the zero health bars is now at full health. It is a tad hard to pull off due to the limited time you have at the camp stage, but doable and to save you a quarter/token or two at the arcade.

I loved this game as a kid, but now, for the first time after twenty years, I just noticed that Tyris has her right foot almost perpendicular to her hips and in that kind of stance, I'm not sure she isn't going to tear her ACL. Also, not sure how many people know this trick for an almost thirty year old game, but the skeletons during the last fight are actually not invincible, they just have HUGE health pools. The best way I found to kill them (because I played this game so much I challenged myself to do stupid things) was to use the dwarf and catch them with the outside edge of his axe and very attack so that you only did the first two animations (the back and forth swing) and keep them locked into a stunned animation.

@riks081 6 лет назад

No, its because Bondi Studios and Rockstar completely destroyed the Australian video game industry. At the time i was actually hoping to become a developer, but all the Australian studios shut down after the whole LA Noire debacle.. Bondi were treating employees like slaves (wouldn't give a dev time off to see his child being born etc etc etc) and Rockstar pretty much shut them down, which caused the entire industry here to crash... After all Bondi were pretty much the top studio.

@Domarius64 6 лет назад

Yeah. Still really sucks, I love what that prototype looks like, and the idea of the others being re-made... and connected?? Actually I know a guy that worked on Castle Of Illusion before they disbanded - they were actually firing people as the game was winding down, and he got let just before the end - and the team accidentally stomped over some of his facial animation of the main baddy in the end cutscene, dulling down what would have been more impressive, Disney style animation.

Golden Axe 2 is way better than the first one.

@Compucles 7 лет назад

Only if you're talking about the Genesis port of the first game.

I love Golden Axe One & Revenge Of The Death Adder.

@yeadontwearitout 2 года назад

8:46 That's an awesome Easter egg as well as the video, well done!

@BenDoverman 6 лет назад

That Revenge of Adder arcade game was the 1st and only Golden Axe game I ever played. It was a blast with friends and virtually perfect on all technical specs.

@slopesgameroom 6 лет назад

Couldn't agree more. Best game in the series

"possibly the best the genre has to offer." -- Dungeons and Dragons Shadows over Mystara wants to have a word with you.

@Flikis 6 лет назад

Having played both, I'd vote on revenge of death adder. Shadows got some other nice fun things, but Revenge just flows better. It got mounts you can ride, and while riding pick up small ballistas or catapults. Moving inwards and outwards, not just sideways. Yeah... to each their own, but I'd go with Revenge any day.

I'm jealous of the fact that Slope got £5 pocket money each week! I never got that much pocket money a week! Though I did get games bought for me, so I suppose that evens it out and the fact that my mum loved the Mega Drive when it was relevant and my Dad played all of the PC games out at the time, I had both bases covered.

@shaochan905 7 лет назад

I think an important fact that isn't mentioned is that the Sega Megadrive game is different from the arcade in that it has an extra level. When you free the king and queen, the door opens and you go into a final level.

@Taurevanime 8 лет назад

I first and only ever played Golden Axe at my friend's house, who owned a copy of it for MS-DOS, and I loved it. I was far too young to remember the name of the game. But decades later while listening through a long list of video game music, I heard that familiar theme play again and was instantly taken back to that childhood. Personally I haven't played the game since I was a kid. Because I am afraid of being disappointed, but also because my memories of the game are tied to playing it with my friend. And I would like to keep it that way. However I gladly listen to the music from it, just to get that warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia again.

Damn, Electronic Boutique! I remember going in there all the time! N64 and Gameboy's on the display in the from the front window. Bonus, in my town, it was next door to Burger King. Weekend was sorted back then.

@wintercoffin 8 лет назад

Golden axe megadrive/genesis version has one extra level, the arcade version ends after you reach the castle. The mega version continues inside the castle to finally face the real death adder. that was really cool.

i played sonic all stars racing transformed this morning for 3 hours and I found these wonderful videos after I decided to learn about all the sega characters. thanks.

In America we had something called Sega 6pak. It had Sonic 1 , golden Axe 1, columns, revenge of shinobi , hang on and streets of rage 1 . It was awesome

@psyberiusblack 6 лет назад

Great trip down memory lane! Some corrections and extra tidbits of knowledge however... Japanese programmers of the day weren’t encouraged to use their real names in the credits. In fact, the Genesis/Mega Drive era was sort of new ground for this. Hence the nicknames. The PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 was an inferior system. In fact, it wasn’t even a true 16 bit system. It used two 8 but CPUs instead of a single 16 bit chip. And it showed with every single multi platform port. TG16 had performance just about in the exact middle between a Master System and Genesis. Golden Axe II was indeed sold on the Genesis on the NA region as well. Bonus factoid: Alien Storm uses the same game engine (among other things) as Golden Axe. It’s pretty much a reskinned Golden Axe with FPS levels added.

@falksi3182 4 года назад

I've just finished the arcade version of Golden Axe, and have to say that for all it's extra beefyness, the Megadrive version is still the best way to play the game. Far smoother, more polished, and the extra levels really help too.

@BaltaBueno 6 лет назад

I absolutely love Golden Axe I on the Genesis, great video!

@williamking1905 5 лет назад

In the US, we had the 6-Pak, which was Mega Games 1 & 2 with Sonic replacing World Cup. That was how I was introduced to Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, & Super Hang on.

@brannenthompson9662 6 лет назад

Absolutely brilliant, I'm the perfect age and grew up during the Golden Age of Arcades and consoles and remember playing the original Shinobi on the Game Gear during a family holiday to Spain looking back I think it was a miracle my Mum and Dad bought me a Game Gear and kept forking out for the huge amount of AA batteries it used, Anyway Loved the videoI'm gonna relive a few more wonderful memories by watching some more, Subbed and liked.

@alexbloddrunk1875 7 лет назад

I almost cry 😭 for the nostalgia, thanks for the video

@VanRossem1 4 года назад

Fun fact : when you kill a big guy in Golden Axe 1 (arcade), the death scream is from "Conan", the 1982 movie. When the Hammer-welling barbarian died in a spike trap (near the end).. Even more, when you kill the skelleton guys (the ones with the big scythe) in Golden Axe The Revenge of Death Adder. AAAhhhAAA

@MrIcecolddd 7 лет назад

Woah I haven't heard that music in years (the opening music) it brings back memories of those multi game cartridges I had 2 of them, one with Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage (absolutely awesome cartridge) and one with World Cup Italia 90, Columns and Super Hang On, many a happy hour playing those with my brother, thanks for the memories and great video as always!

made it to the end 👊. first play i had of the Axe franchise was in a department store in London when it launched (89 i guess). was hooked immediately, but had to settle for the 1 player SMS version (which after having watched this video I now understand stands up pretty well in comparison to some of the later ports!)... informative vid, thx

@CAPMAX_Gaming 7 лет назад

No problem. Great video series!

@fireflocs 7 лет назад

Golden Axe could do with a modern revival as a proper side-scrolling beat 'em up. Gather characters and enemies from across the whole franchise, come up with a good plot, market it properly, no reason it won't succeed on the right platform.

@SilentBunTrophies 8 лет назад

You can play that Master System game on the Ultimate SEGA Megadrive collection as an unlockable. Great video, I loved the story at the start of how you first encountered Golden Axe.

@slopesgameroom 8 лет назад

You are correct sir, A mistake made by me :D 10 slope points go to you

@SilentBunTrophies 8 лет назад

I'm sure you knew, I was just letting people know in case they wanted to have a go at the game, I've played it and it's pretty good. It's great watching videos from a fellow SEGA fan. Oh and what do Slope points get me?

@slopesgameroom 8 лет назад

respect from me hahaha, everyone else will hate you

@Erik-vp5bm 8 лет назад

!!! I have been googling all over for that decapitation intro, but never found anything about it. I remembered it from the arcades as a kid (in Norway), where we at some point must've had a japanese version of the game, which was not unusual at the time. I was starting to question my own sanity, if it was something child-me had invented in my head, but I am glad to see that it wasn't. Thanks!

I love golden axe! It hasn't aged well but I still love playing it! + those last 3 mega games collections, they're a bit weird. I think originally they came as/with console bundles, rather than being sold separately? I may be wrong though. Also, thanks for the shoutout!!! :D

Golden Axe was HUGE here in the States when it first hit arcades and a huge hit on the early Sega Genesis (pre-Sonic). Still one of my all time favorite games.
