Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]
Ойындар
Developed and published by Sega in 1992
The official coin-op sequel to Sega's classic high-fantasy beat 'em up really is a continuation of the original game. It boasts superior graphics, audio, as well as a choice of 4 different playable characters. The magic system has been reworked so that casting a spell uses a set number of potions, rather than all of them at once; stockpiling potions affords players multiple spell-casts when the going gets really tough.
There's also a limited branching path system, allowing different routes through levels 2 and 5. I wouldn't say there's any real advantage in choosing a specific path (unlike Capcom's D&D arcade games), but it's a cool feature to include.
Ultimately, if you were a fan of the original Golden Axe, The Revenge of Death Adder is likely to be right up your alley.

@@bizarrefanfictionist3498 It is called a "praying mantis". Named because the way they hold their front limbs is similar to the motion of human hands praying. Prey means something a predator hunts and eats, same pronunciation but different meaning, it kind of still makes sense since they are predators but, thought I would point out that is not what they are called.

What really stands out to me is the sprite work in this game. I'd argue that it's a few years ahead of its time for 1992 - not so much in technological or animation terms (though those are nothing to exactly sneeze at either here), but more so the color palettes and the shading techniques used to actually draw sprites.

I must say that Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder is my favorite video-game of all time, with how amazingly done it sure was in every way! I first discovered this at the old, now long gone Space Port II arcade at the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing, NJ, in the mid 90's, and would make it mandatory to play it whenever I went there. I'll never forget how devastated I was when I went to play it again at that arcade one day in late 99, and saw that this game was no longer there, and was told that they sold it. But they ironically now have it again at the new Starcade retro arcade they now have at that place. I frantically tried to find a console port of it of sorts, not realizing one sadly never existed. But I DID end up getting the Jamma PCB to it for my arcade machine down the road, which I have since sold when I got it on my Mame machine, and later my modded 2TB original Xbox console. But it still baffles me as to why this never got an actual console release, though can at least now (totally legally) play it at home on either the Arcade 1Up, and/or Sega Astro mini, which is good (besides having the actual board, and/or cabinet to it), but still.

Sadly yes, he sacrificed himself. The thing about it is that it seemed like he was dying anyway since he was being carried around by that giant man already so in the sense of the story he goes downs fighting giving the last hit. In a way it makes HIM the actual Hero of Golden Axe, since you know, in the first game he actually has a Golden Axe.
Stunning graphics for the time.

You've played this before 😉 Lovely stuff, I remember when this first appeared in the arcades as a young lad and being fascinated by the new characters, particularly Gillius riding on the back of a huge guy and how Trix could heal with magic. The game was more of the same but different enough to want to play it. I just wish I was competent as you are playing through it! Would have saved me a fortune in 20p's!
Maaaan I loved this game when I was a child. Everything on it blowed my mind. The soundtrack really made me feel in the warzone, I loved how you could ride those giant insects, and furthermore, you could put a weapon above! 🤯🤯🤯 Also how there are options to reach the castle and the vertical walking parts. Bro I loved everything about this arcade. Was fun to see it again. Thanks!😊
This brought back many memories deeply engraved in my heart! I was really good at this game but unfortunately at the expense of my studies lol… Then I was seriously addicted n kept playing truant jus to b able to hop by local arcade shop for few hrs of "practices" religiously 2-3 times per week! Sweet n sour memories I must say but it stays with me till now, 30 yrs later!
