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

[@jrr7031]

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!

[@jrr7031]

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.

[@ezehogan]

@@christinalaw3375 movies and PC/console fantasy games of the time had this cool sexy/risqué vibe to them. Usually bikini clad Amazon’s and Schwarzenegger esque bodybuilder warriors. Now the focus seems to be on “realism” which makes no sense since it’s all fantasy anyway.

[@laughingseal2282]

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

[@spiderchap1857]

Absolutely loved this game. Played it all the time when I was a kid. I absolutely adore that goofy item collection/drop sound.

The EA logo back when they have a soul.

Back when they were too classy to do something so crass as abbreviate themselves.

[@Zekium]

@@gigaslave You mean like making unofficial cartridges so they don't have to pay royalties to Sega ?

[@Industriajor]

and so... 30 years later I found out the name of the first megadrive game I ever saw in my life in a toy store and I never saw or played it again because I never knew its name and it never passed through my hands, not even luckily... this dissencounter survived the time of hype of roms and emulators! ...and now it appears without any worries on my KZbin reel x'0

You truly get that "more with less" feeling when looking at these graphics and animations.

This is gaming!! No open world, grind fest. Just pure fun, and the era of when consoles generated there own sound with actual sound processers.

This looks rather lush. Never saw it before but reckon I would have LOVED it back in the day

[@kjuergens1985]

"Everywhere she went, she was confronted by ghouls; some of them covered in metal, some of them covered in fire. Even the floating head of Medusa tried to kill her." "Yeah, but what was she wearing?"

[@Cotivity]

Impressive playthrough. More impressive (though it probably didn't feel like it when this game was new) is how much this seems like a "souls-like" game...The ability to block seems positively revolutionary for the times. The tea bagging of the dragon at the end was a nice touch. 🤣🤣

[@laughingseal2282]

Soulslike? Really dude? Dark souls didnt invent dungeon crawling hack and slash action, you know. And maybe other games had a crouch block before this (shinobi sequels.)

[@BillyTheBigKid82]

I so love it that armor shows on your character when you purchase it! And the ladder climbing animation is so cute...=D

[@onasni]

I think its funny the male barbarian keeps passing his fingers over the blade on his animation lol

[@luxinterna3370]

Yeah...climb those ladders...

[@CypressDahlia]

this game has a great, simplistic appeal to it

Great graphics, music, and just play well bro!

[@DanielOlofsson-ye1yy]

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

[@marcoan1987]

Los graficos son geniales, la paleta de colores aun con las limitaciones de la Genesis son brutales, cualquiera pensaria que es una conversion a la Neo Geo Si estos juegos hubiesen tenido mas golpes y no solo dos con la espada sino combos, almenos hasta 5 combinaciones, este juego (y otros) hubiese sido top hasta el dia de hoy

[@blkplaguelmc]

Just discovered this game today. Played it all day and beat it. What a friggin gem. I had never even heard of it.

[@digitalintent]

Woah! Why am I just learning about this game now? I would have easily rented or bought this back in the day.

[@MastersDefender]

I can't believe this was made by EA! Before the dark times, before the greed.

[@ayremember2900]

This game is much harder than it looks

[@greyscapeentertainment4816]

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.

[@anacatarina1388]

What an amazing Rastan & Golden Axe inspiration⚔🪄🌟

[@theodorehsu5023]

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.

[@juliofioretto]

Best 16 bits end! ♥️

[@pickleeggs3340]

never heard of any of these retro video game youtuber reviewers talk about this,pretty cool game

[@pop2uno]

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 😊.

[@jevogroni4829]

yes the games that were programmed well sound great. FM synthesis requires some care

[@p6mkq]

There is nothing to dislike there.

[@mattsmith1318]

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.

[@mattsmith1318]

4:45 the last rock in the lava (closer than the others) you can ride down safely into the lava to get a chest

[@georgebradley6521]

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.

[@miroslavzima8856]

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.

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...

[@clintchapman6099]

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.

[@TheVintageGamer]

[@Melvinvanharn]

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?

[@kakoiniksvoboden]

@@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.
