Big Karnak Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]
Ойындар
Developed and published by Gaelco in 1991
Prior to playing Big Karnak, I'd never heard the name Gaelco before. This Spanish arcade games developer put out a number of coin-op titles between 1985 and 2005, before getting out of the video games market altogether in 2007 and started making electronic darts gaming machines.
As for Big Karnak, this side-scroller takes inspiration from the likes of Ghosts 'n' Goblins and Rastan, although those games lack Big Karnak's distinctly odd-ball sense of humour. Players must progress through various levels based on ancient Egyptian mythology and similar themes, killing bad guys, beating bosses, and even solving the occasional puzzle; it's quite a bizarre experience, although sure to be of interest to anyone who has a passing interest in the history of coin-op games.
The developers appear to have ripped off audio from various sources (the punching sound effect was clearly stolen from Double Dragon), and the second end-of-level boss looks suspiciously like Karnov from Data East's Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja.

This is what they call a hidden gem.
This must be the first platform game I have seen where the jumping up a ledge animation makes any sense.
Very Cool - one of those low budget Gaelco games - that has its own feel and semi crappy music and sound effects which are actually good A game that is playable too without being too hard for a few quarters

I expected that kind of douchery from the Greek gods, but apparently all divinities are total bastards.
Sort of a Egyptian ghosts and goblins ....mummy's and Pharos
I have never seen this game, sadly I missed it during the 90’s. I would have adored it, the whole Egyptian theme is likely one of my favorites, especially as a kid. I would have loved to play this.
This one was actually pretty unique, for an action platform’er. A definite gem 💎
That sound when it hit the monke! 😂
No sabia que Gaelco era español, averiguando brevemente vi su lista de juegos exclusiva de arcades aunque me parece haber visto un titulo para la snes pero ni en conversion esta. Lastima que dejaron de operar en 2007. Este juego se ve brutal, que detalles se maneja, muy bueno
I’ve never seen this game before.It’s cool.
Ah yes, Osiris the mighty Egyptian god of Pterodactyls
Looks fun with a variety of monster design styles. The sound effects are reminiscent of Double Dragon 1 too.
The very first ever made in Spanish indie studios Gaelco with low budget, Excellent Game Quality, First game titles based in European

@@Religious_man A game is supposed to have alot of things in it, it can't be a decent game without world building especially for an arcade game.
Interesting, I never knew about this one.

Me neither! Looks fun, and the ancient Egypt setting is pretty uncommon in the video game world
Such a good game!
Holy shit I dreamt of this game!!!
Awesome! Thank you :)
I love how fhe opening is just Ghosts 'n Goblins but Egypt 😄
Totally forgot this game, while watching remembered the sounds and the monsters: I must have loved and interiorized as a child
4:28 Nice Disguise, KARNOV!!!
Atreus: Did you go and kill the Egyptain Gods as well, Father?? Kratos: BOI 'Deep breath'.. someone else did it... that asshole.. I mean seriously, you slay Shu, Geb, Horus, Anubis, Isis and Osiris on a quest to rescue your love. Think of a 3D remake, with orchistral intense music for gory and bloody kills... just think!

It deserves a modern remastered version
Some sounds also in Double Dragon: 0:32 regular swinging and punching sounds 1:15 This pain sound is one of the enemy death sounds 4:13 and this kick sound is the same as an elbow attack by the player 4:45 this rock sliding sound, I'm pretty sure 5:38 another swinging sound 10:38 throwing sound Either these are all stock, or the developer ripped the sounds from Double Dragon
Impressive animations fur such an old game.
i remember this game, nice game
A very good game.
1:40 : *CRASH!!* "Urg...Gonna be sore tomorrow."
Great game!.
I definitely would have put quarters in this one, if we had it in my area.
awesome
Very Nice. Why the game compannies do not use some this graphics and ideas to adapt THE MUMMY Franchise ?
5:31 Ah yes, I forgot that Ancient Egypt were the first ever Furriers in history.
Qué buena jugada 🎉🎉
Some of the sound effects sound like they’re from Double Dragon.

Yep - they are. The punch, knife throw and player damage effects have been "borrowed" 😉
Borrowing soundeffects I can understand... But 4:12 why DataEast's Karnov is in ancient Egypt??

Siento que estaria jugando a un juego como el toki asi igual de bizarro y creepy el juego a parte de algo comico.
