The History of Golden Axe: The Revenge Of Death Adder - Arcade documentary 

I knew I heard that somewhere, thanks !

Dora has interchangeable parts. Some assembly required.

I was wondering where that scream came from, thanks!

The scream is basically an easter egg because in Golden Axe 1 they used a scream from First Blood (that one deputy who got caught that spike trap Rambo set up) as well as a scream from Conan the Barbarian

I appreciate that, thanks so much

It's a classic that's for surre

LOL thanks

Wow that is really cool

You could have got much more than three months rent for those…

@@dieinfire920 I think me rent back then was 2600 no more than 3k but it did get me 3 months I remember my wife was pumped, my dad got the mantle rookie

God rest his soul.

@@TheDumontShow why thank you kindly.... amazing how fast you forget the little details

You do have to fight him twice, the first part of the fight is destroying his shield and then you fight him again without it. Thanks buddy

Using voice or music samples from movies wasn't uncommon back then. Check out "Oddly familiar" from Uncanny X, he has tons of videos with examples. Back then it was easier to just rip something from movies or tv shows just like today it's easier to have AI create something.

@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw Thanks. Music would often take audio clips from movies back then (Industrial music for example), but interesting to learn video games did too.

@@BlackArroToons Oh in the 80's and 90's games basically stole from everything. A lot of box over art was directly stolen from movie posters or movie frames. For example Turrican 1 is from a Manowar album, Metal Gear (NES) cover is a promo picture of Michael Biehn from Terminator 1. Contra of course has Schwarzenegger from Predator in the cover art. Even in game character pictures were sometimes directly traced from actors and musicians. Realms of Arkania is really interesting, as literally every NPC Portrait is some actor or musician, you get David Bowie, Ben Kingsley, Steve Buscemi, Björk, Audrey Hepburn, Sean Connery, Meg Ryan and a lot of others. Same as Metal Gear 2, were the portraits are clearly people like Sean Connery, Einstein, Richard Crenna, Dolph Lundgren and so on. And as for music and samples: Double Dragon 2 has a rip-off of Phil Collin's Easy Lover, Doom is all sorts of Metal songs copied straight, Turrican 1 again uses music straight from the Transformer Movie. Even Yuzo Koshiro lifted most of the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack from songs, the most blatant example, because it's basically 1:1 copy is the song Under Logic which is Move any Mountain by The Shamen. To get back to Golden Axe: The Master System version features a ending cutscene, the pictures are all taken directly from Conan the Barbarian. If anything it was uncommon if a game didn't steal its graphics, character portraits, music or sound effects from somewhere back then.

@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw Thanks! I did hear of some of those things, including the box cover art and some copyright issues for some of the cover art artists sometimes with the Arnold action movies. I was listening to Yuzo Koshiro's Streets of Rage songs which are classics, and did hear similar beats/tunes of musician songs elsewhere too. I'll have to listen to that song you mentioned, thanks.

omg that's too steep for me for these old games that I'd be playing mainly on my TV. I'll try to find it for less/wait for a price drop.

Considering it comes with 37 games that's about $3.50 a game. Nothing wrong with that

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I wouldn't be playing all or even most of the games and it doesn't come with a controller to use with a TV, but you're right. Edit: I wouldn't be playing them because I already have them on other platforms.

Thats it, you got it, I said it was predator. But now in my head I hear poor gault lol Nice one buddy.

Thats not a bad thing lol , I've around 50 years of film triva in my head, and many movies I've seen over 100 times each. One day a question to make you thousands or to give you a one up will come from your head full of stuff lol It did click with me in an instant dammm it is poor gault not my predator idea.. and it's so close it has to be an exact copy of the scream lol just brilliant my friend.

@@oldgolfpunk “it’s all part of a cosmic unconsciousness” 😎

The sound clip is also in the first Golden Axe game.

Good call, thanks.I knew I heard that somewhere

Sorry to hear that, thanks for the nice words though

I agree, it's a travesty. I am heading to galloping ghost next month

It's not really that weird. The Mega Drive was way, way, way too weak for this game and by the time the Saturn came out, nobody was interested in 2D anymore. It was all about 3D and Polygons then. On top of that, the game was and is incredibly difficult to emulate properly, i think it's still not 100% accurate in the audio department, it took decades for Mame to make it playable without too many graphical issues.

Thank you so much

You know that's a good choice. Never thought about mad Max. Could go

I figured maybe Gilius was injured from the first game fighting the original Death Adder and needed Goah’s help for transportation, but I like the concept of it being a nod to Master Blaster.

The 32x version was definitely planned. Not sure about the Saturn the Saturn could have pulled off perfectly

Glad you think so! Thanks buddy

LOL that version sure was funky

Yes, there are bunch of other ones that I talk about in the video

It makes absolutely no sense I agree, good times though

No my friend, you are the best. Thanks for the nice comments

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries 🙏🏽🙇🏾‍♂️

Very cool, I love wonder boy

LOL that's hilarious

LOL that's fantastic

Emulators have been a godsend for retro gaming fanatics. I live in a pretty well populated area with a number of bowling alleys and actual arcades and not once did I run across this game back in the day

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks a lot. Yes, one of the unconverted from the arcades which is a shame

Couldn't agree more

Thank you very much :-)

It's a pretty good deal

Yes, it's very cool that they did that. Thankks a lot

Very cool

Yes I do :-)

Yes, pretty brutal

Thanks a ton

Thanks a ton

Thanks buddy

That's pretty sweet getting that far at one coin. Kudos

thanks for watching

Glad you liked it! Thank you so much

LOL, fantastic

Oh yes, that was always fun

Thanks, I really appreciate the nice words. Yes it does take a while to edit these but I enjoyed doing it. Cheers

It is extremely fun

Thanks for the extremely nice words. I've Artie done Cadillacs and dinosaurs so check the archives

Yes it was, utterly fantastic

I had no idea this one used a number of samples from Roger rabbit and the turtles

Thanks

Thank you so much!!

Oh yes, tons of fun

Have fun my friend

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries ok.😀👍🎮

I turned on the auto fire because it helps me play with my limitations

You are the man :-) thanks

LOL you and me both

Sounds like my entire family

LOL will see

That is fantastic

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Should i post a demo?

I will have to check them out, thanks

Enjoyed

Absolutely my friend, thank you

I couldn't agree more

I agree, hopefully with Sega's New commitment to its original IP's we will see something

Ol.e was a gruff cranky guy but I can listen to him talk all day

Excellent, thank you very much

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I discovered the revenge of death adder a few years back on MAME I was really surprised how good it was, what you said in the video about it being one of the best in its genre, yep spot on! 🙂

Glad my silly little videos could help

I agree, the price is a bit steep but it's a game very few people have played

Which poster are you referring to?

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries oh shit i need my eyes tested! at first look the poster at 3.52 looked like she had no bra!

Most of them :-)

Yes Let's keep our fingers crossed

Yes, but Golden axe 3 was made for the 16 bit Sega Genesis

Yes it was, still fun today

I liked that movie as well

Blood sweat and tears my man

I suppose it could be for that

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries it is for exactly that.

Thanks buddy

Absolutely, we never got a good he-man game

Very cool

Sorry to hear that, I never saw it in the arcades either

I can definitely see the red Sonja influence.

Yes those are good as well

Thanks for sharing your memories about your dad. Love reading stuff like that.

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries welcome pat. I've got so many, and I'll share so long as they are relevant to your upload. I had every sega going and many arcade trips , even a butlins holiday litterally living in the arcade there fi For an entire week lol! Great games most with moving motors deluxe cabinets; such as rad mobil, or ab cop, etc etc. .....sigh Just best golden gamin days for me. Today its all emulation. Thanx dad.... you did great

That's fantastic. I used to play the old mechanical baseball games in the arcades with my dad. That was the only arcade game I could really play with Him@@orderofmagnitude-TPATP

Oh btw; afterburner wasn't on system 16 board - it was on the sega x board ​@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries

Thanks, I always loved to this game

I have never seen it either

LOL

It's on my very long request list

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries ty. Can't wait to see it. Love you're videos. Keep it up.

Again? Send me a private message if you want to chat.

It's a bona fide classic

Couldn't agree more!

I should have mentioned Frank Frazetta, Good call

Enjoy

the Saturn probably would've been arcade perfect

Unfortunately not

The music wasn't as good as the first one but I still enjoyed it

LOL thanks
