Dark Seal (Bard) 1990 Data East Mame Retro Arcade Games

[@DweezilBubbadown]

I loved this game when arcades still existed! Never could remember the name…

[@mikeshvedov6981]

Thank you for this. My childhood memories are a far cry from being bright. BBut this is among top-20 best memories ever. Thanks.

[@Draug0]

This game looks so good and I've never even heard of it before. If I had seen it in the arcade back in the day, I would've played the shit out of it.

[@WesYes]

Same

[@marcorepiso5379]

I did , but I wasn't very good.

[@YabadaBadu]

this is my first arcade game and its still remember. still the best :)

[@LemonRush7777]

Lack of player moveset variety kinda made for a sort of dull gaming experience.

[@SkotchOG]

You can download an arcade mame from the Google play store on your mobile device and play it there; I'm playing it right now.

[@jspvenom]

I love the fact that it gives you the blood type of each character, just in case you need a transfusion.

[@murrfeeling]

It's a very Japanese thing, with blood types being a sort of vague personality gauge, similar to horoscope signs. All of the Street Fighter 2 characters had their blood types listed on the attract screen too.

[@LtCommanderTato]

@@murrfeeling I find that a smart move giving them a full bio. In case they wanna expand later in manga or other media they already have a base to take as reference.

[@TattiePeeler]

Getting poisoned.. was such a chore. Rage inducing.

[@azdrubalponce5871]

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks and thanks again. I played this around 25 years ago and I didn't remember the name. I saw in a video from a Spaniard guy a reference to the game and finally found it. You rock

[@lin6499]

One of my favorite arcade games.

[@joseluisjimemezmagodeoz2426]

[@debilde]

I love this game... I played it as a kid ❤️

[@PharoahsKingdom]

Never saw this game in the arcades I went to. Going to download this and try it out.

[@burakcanozaydn]

This topdown arcade action rpg game vibes me hexen or heretic games from mid nineties.

[@Retroconsole]

It's Diablo, way before Diablo was made :P

[@TonyBlundetto86]

You always showing games i didn't know. Thank you!

[@JesseH76]

Yeah, it's mind boggling how many arcade games there are out there that you've never heard about. I grew up in the 80's and 90's, and in 1986, around 10 years old I started going to the arcade at least every 2 weeks or more. So from about 1986 to around 1998 I went to the arcades, and there are MANY arcade games I've never seen or heard of before in that time. It's crazy.

[@virgilgilbert797]

Memories

[@c.nekochaserXD]

I played this game 20 years ago, I need to play it again data east had great games why no one of the company's try the rights of this games?

[@markbundy7329]

Loved this game!

[@神奇的老贼头]

this game is so difficult that none can enter the 4th stage in my boyhood.

[@joseivancampos8664]

OMG !! I used to play this as a kid in Mexico .. never knew its name until I found it .. on the “arcade machine “ plug in game console . It has over 3000 games

[@alexanderpacaraulloa3577]

Buen juego amigo lo disfruté mucho excelente pasada y sin perder

[@colleenkarika9382]

yeah when i 1st typed in dark seal i got 3d movies about dark seals and then it was in japanese...so im happy i found this in english.

[@UniversalSouls]

It tells you their astrological star sign! Jaja!! Awesome!!!

[@robertwarf3316]

For yearrrs I've been trying to remember a side scrolling fantasy game I played as a kid with my brother on MAME. It ran like shit on our pc at the time, so when the characters say their name it was all stretched out. "iiiii aammm the baaaard"

[@franciseylim11]

I love this game very very much. I love Bard, he is so so handsome..:-p

[@DieMasterMonkey]

It's hard as hell but a blast, can't believe you survived as bard that's crazy wtf is he wielding lol

[@israeltorrez492]

This game looks so cool

[@caduluzan]

Drunk at Xmas and listening to this, thinking of what the creator of this game was thinking when he created it.

[@VideoQuestEx]

Did you use any magic in this play-through at all? Very cool that you finished the game without dying once with the Bard! Also like the theme song to this. "Wizard Fire: Dark Seal 2" was the 1992 sequel.

[@orionalexanderspartandagge931]

It was my favorite......I really like it.

[@Mundane05]

Strongest bard ever

[@zalisilezele7497]

this arcade really blew me off with the soundtrack

[@c.nekochaserXD]

I would like to see a remake of this game

[@Fortuna1]

The sequel is most hardest, but game is great too

[@glk829]

why don't you use the spell book to transform? :o

[@fact-factcheck4680]

I'll like this on my Switch

[@ramilleallen1101]

yeah i have it on switch - switch is made for retro games like this

[@Fabio-S-Crispim]

Claaaassic!!

[@strideryoko]

I didn't know Mattrim Couthon was in a video game.

[@Alianger]

4:45 do some bosses have certain weak spots?

[@YabadaBadu]

yes especially the first ones

[@YabadaBadu]

Mouth parts

[@internetyamir3343]

the best....

[@CommanderTato]

Anybody know what is the cause of the slight speedup music on emulation? Happens to me too. But saw other playthoughs who didnt had that problem. In this video the speedup happens too.

[@MamePlayer]

Due to the conversion from 60 fps to 30 fps

[@Theshark15z]

This game seemed more exciting to play then Dungeon Magic. That one was more slow paced. It would be great for a console title but not as a arcade game.

[@Alianger]

Can anyone tell me what the silver/steel ring does?

[@FTW_Wolf]

steel ring absorbs damage.

[@YabadaBadu]

protect from water damage

[@YabadaBadu]

Boots= Speed Gloves= Power Armour= protect from touching & falling Blue Neckles= protect from fire Silver Ring= protect from water Beetle Neckless= protect from poisons. good memories :)

[@maestrolodahl8681]

Why u no use magic?!? :o

[@jasongretencord3326]

Is this that old arcade game where there's a spell to turn into a pig?

[@Rostov22]

Yes

[@MoteofLobross]

I am the bard...

[@carljohnson7096]

[@mikeshvedov6981]
