The Story of King Croesus - Pixel History

Everyone knows the tales of the Persian invasion of Greece, Marathon, Thermopylae and Alexander the Great. But what happened before this animosity between the Greeks and the Persians reached its momentum? Some say the conflict was long in the making, as the Persians were conquering their way across Asia Minor. One such figures who stood in their way was king Croesus of Lydia, coined by some as the richest man of the ancient world. What was Croesus known for in his lifetime, and what part did he play in the greater story of the Greek versus the Persians?

    My siblings and I would probably follow this channel with great memories from our childhood games... Thank you for giving us a piece of our childhood back! ❤️

    And thank -you- for the support! I'm very glad to hear the attempt at video game nostalgia worked! That era of video gaming was very crucial during my formative years too, so I can certainly relate to your own experiences in regards to them. :D

    Another brilliant and beautiful episode man. I just love your work. Really should put in more tags and expand your description though! Also, your voice was too low/music too loud which made it hard to understand you. I suggest sharing this to /r/gaming - I'm sure they'll like it.

    Darn, and here I actually tried to fiddle with the volume levels a bit more! Thanks once again for the useful feedback, Barris! I forgot about the tags (or rather, still got to figure out how they work), but I will make sure to make use of them next time. If there are any specific time marks where the music is still too loud, feel free to let me know so that I can better recognize them. :)

    Good heavens.... Transported me back to my childhood! I grew up with commodore 64 and the pixel games... I literally spent my entire childhood from babyhood to childhood, these pixels taught me everything... So nostalgic to see this and hear the same music!!!!

    I couldn't think of any better compliment to receive! Thank you so much! Still a long way from "going big", I reckon, but I treasure every bit of high praise like this that I can get!
