The Music of Video Games [203] Golden Axe

[kitsunahri]

lol that dragon fire at 2:22 fits with the music cool

[MrRetrogamingBard]

Hey everyone, I just did two video responses.

I grew up playing the Sega Master System port, but the soundtrack is almost identical. (Sega Master System had a different theme and the music for the map is not existing...)

Thank you 'TheCastellan' for uploading such awesome soundtracks.

this game was boss

[DomIstKrieg]

Nostalgia.

[curtiscbear00100]

Between the Genesis and the Arcade version, I still perfer the Genesis. Sounds more classic to me.

[NuclearGroundhog]

Loved Golden Axe. Great music. Thanks for Posting. :)

[GenuineBruno]

such a hard game i thought

[achmanra]

what system was this for i forgot and i used to love this game

[VannyixDragoon]

@achmanra This one is the Sega Genesis version.

[southsidesman]

Rember when thought this game was sooo good NASA couldn't do much better.

Now it would be too much for designers to fart this out.

[wesgleeson]

The main music I can remember from Golden Axe is missing. Turtle village II?

[q2rlz]

Definately the beep.

[AMYuntold]

The home versions music is much more edgy and cool, the Arcade is too soft, and badly paced.

[dawid20os]

Ich glaub ich schmeiss gleich sofort die Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection rein und zock die Golden Axe Teile. Der Sound weckt in mir wieder ein Reiz.

[Utubesuxmycock]

heard the music from the 2nd game? its way better

awesomely composed

[camaleon2040]

o.0

[MrUssrparadox]

well the 2nd one.

[MrUssrparadox]

love this song! best ever!

[laserdamsel]

You are a hero for putting this up...

[GalliumNitride]

This is simply immense + reminds me of the childhood time.

[meforyou1988]

love this and streets of rage still the best games ever so glad they bought them out on mega drive classics game for PS3 :)

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

@meforyou1988 You should go buy Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PS3 than. Comes with 40 genesis games. Complete series of Golden Axe, Sonic, Shining Force, Phantasy Star, Streets Of Rage, etc. are part of it. Got mine at Best Buy for $20 (Canadian).

[meforyou1988]

@streeTkiDwannaBe I have the sega mega drive ultimate collection game for ps3 not sure if thats the same game though but the games are on there just brings back so many childhood memories playin golden axe and streets of rage with my brother and sisters :) thanks for reply

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

@meforyou1988 Yeah that's it exactly. I forgot it'd probably have the mega drive in the name since you're across the ocean from me. Lol n/m, good buy.

[AMYuntold]

The player uses two special moves i can't get no matter how i try. That killer vertical attack from above what i have only seen from the skeletons before, and that heavy sword swinging thingy standing still. How do you call those?

[fleskiss]

wow this guy is pro, but why does he play in beginner mode?

[Aaronthegreatest]

I hated this bloody game

[Israfel85]

The Amiga version sounded much much better.

[jay6731]

i still whistle the first stage music from time to time sad really lol

[IndyBearFan88]

best video game music ever...

[PimpyMcHoSmack]

Damn is this you playing through? You're a fucking beast! Well done lol

[KamiKaZantA]

@PimpyMcHoSmack I think he takes videos from other peoples speed runs (with their consent) and add the music. At least, I think I read it in another of his vids.

[lozza925]

er you missed the Death Adder theme wth that rocks!

[HarmonicaFag]

I just accidently nostalgia'd pretty hard

[TheJewinator]

I remember playing this game with my dad when i was extremely young, some of my most fond memories! This game is amazing.

[Camwi]

Hopefully with the recent influx of "classicly made" sequels, they'll do the same with Golden Axe.

[JonGeric]

@Camwi

there was a remake like last year it's called beast rider or some shit like that...horrible game...fucking horrible

[Camwi]

@JonGeric

Yeah, I played through that game and yeah, it's awful. That's why I was hoping for a more classic remake like what they've done with the Mega Man series.

[JonGeric]

@Camwi it'd be awesome but unfortunately golden axe doesn't have the push with sega like megaman has with capcom

[inflames200]

nostalgia hits you for over 9000.

you have fainted.

[KatBlunfroce]

How are you one-hitting everyone?

[TheCastellan]

First you gotta run and then do a jumping attack, keep the button pressed, and you do a downward thrust, takes some practice, but it's effective. Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link also has this.

Happy 20th aniversary, Golden Ax.

[Axlzero451]

His cock.

[MrStaves]

This music is inspiring, it makes me want to save the world, the best character in the game is the dwarf, his best attack is the downward axe thrust, the fire chick has the best magic. I think they should remake this game with the same format with better graphics. the only change I would make is to have the two awsome looking warrior statues in the final level come to life and try to kill you!

[TheCastellan]

The 16 bit graphics are good enough. :)

[IggyHazard]

My favorite arcade game from that era! Ever since I was a kid, I thought those Chickenleg Bizarrians were absolutely adorable.

;3

Also, those gnome theives remind me of The Beastmaster. I see elements of Tolkien, Conan, The Beastmaster, and Red Sonja in this fantastic epic game. Death Adder vs. Thulsa Do0m. Yes, Death Adder lo0ks more like Sauron, but Sauron's to0 powerful (except that you can just chop the index finger/Ring off his physical form and he self-destructs).

\8-P

[teqrevisited]

Used to love this game! Always used to play it 2 player before school with a mate. Never finished it :[.

[mightysigma]

ahhh golden axe is proberly my greatest game ever...i still play it all the time on me 360...and the music made me think is was fuking conan LOLOL

[nutherefurlong]

Yeah, it's definitely got a Conan vibe to it. One of my favorite soundtracks.

[darkreyule]

Some of the best gaming music ever, Death Adder's Theme FTW!

[vagu14]

dont be so bloody efficient. offer some show once in a while...

[Alianger]

Why not the arcade version? I thought they did a pretty bad job with this conversion, 2 sounded a lot better.

[MasterGarth]

AWESOME GAME for laughs. XD My bro used to make jokes that the enemys were hitting you with bouquets. xD We shared so many good memories with this game. xD *tear* I heard they're making a remake?

[kokubunji]

Hey, dude, any chance for you to upload this video again... with the music from the original arcade game? Music there sounded better :(

Still, great soundtrack.

[garudoh]

Already done, video 348 (see related videos). Enjoy.

[spb711]

dude i love this game and the music great vid and ur good too but you didnt show the last boss battle!?!?!? short but great game.

[doppleganger4827]

A classic to me. Oh how I hated that pit in the last level...it haunts me! Fiend's Path & Sutakora, Sassa are a few of my favorites.

[deathlivesinme]

ah the good memories Of THe golden Axe :)

[mrflibblesthecat]

Loved the ending in this game- wont spoil it for peeps who aint played it though.

[Kogerii]

All the old cheapness :) I remember letting enemies fall off cliffs, jump-hitting, avoiding lining up, getting foes to stack...you had to be cheap to make it through Golden Axe.

[toKs1c]

BEST GAMER EVER!
