  • I learned two new things here. Tight controls are bad, and the Genesis sounds just like a Gameboy.

  • @Alianger

    The Genesis audio in that video is from some kind of super crappy emulator.

  • Um, the music is broken...

  • had this game as a kid, only had it for an hour, then my mom broke it cause she went bipolar and though i had threw away her shoes

  • @StarScream6541 that's the most awesome thing i've ever read on youtube

  • You can beat it with two players easy. This game has made many road trips worthwhile during my youth as I played it on the Nomad. Favorite Game of All Time!!

  • The screaming in this game is by far the best thing in it! Some of the baddies will actually scream 'Ooooohhhhhh Gooooooood!' in the arcade version. xD

  • @Cheesypie23 fail

  • not gonna lie if you ain't completed tis game your a noob

  • thumbs up if you watching this in 2011

  • @TheSora377 Nah, I'm watching this in 20XX on my 22 by 34ft. CPU monitor.

  • @lolperson80

    thumbs up if you watching this in 20XX on a 22 by 34ft CPU monitor

  • When I finished Golden Axe, I realized nothing in my life will compare in terms of achievement.

  • there was no castle level wierd they might have deleted the one for the old classic game thing you know with like 5 deffrint games on it

  • I passed it so much as a kid...2 player makes it much easier however you can just do your running attack over and over to pretty much own the last boss

  • @MartyPotatoes Do you still like these type of games? I mean, 2 player team/co-op play, "beat/shoot'em up", board by board, kill a boss @ the end of each, type of games? I am looking for fellow retro gamers to play online with (Kaillera client) I love MAME, but also pretty much any/every vintage/retro arcade/console games.

  • Ive finished it

    AND IT TOOK ME 19 STRAIGHT HOURS TO FINISH THE BASTARD

    but still totally worth it

    And hey if you thought this was tough try Golden Axe II

  • i remember being a kid and a buddy and i stayed up all nite to beat the game it took us until 5 oclock in the morning but we did it lol

  • @firewallsniper I remember those kind of nights, lol. 1 time, I think it was either Easter Vacation/Spring Break of 1986 or '87, a friend & I rented from Block Buster, a Sega Genesis & several games, then stayed up for 2 1/2 days playing, hehehe. I forget which game it was, (I'm pretty sure it was some RPG), but we finished it.

  • Does a mega drive counts?

  • this works better on you tube than gametrailers

  • ....or you could just get up go buy a wii and then download it on the VC

  • i was what 6 when i first played this :P and the screams gave me night mares i recently downloaded it and me and my big sis decided to try and beat it we failed. then one day she got realy drunk and said lets play haha we beat it

  • On our school trip to france in the games room was a arcade machine with this in. my teacher played it for half an hour straight

  • you really are turd.

    

  • i beat this game back when i was 8 only with the dwarf though

  • death bringer is deflatable, but it's not easy to do

  • death bringer was pretty tough. but could never beat him on any other character other than the dwarf. his attacks had a tad bit more range, and that was all the difference keeping the skeletons off of ya.

  • ha, fuck that! I've played and beaten it on the PS3 game Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Lots of great games on there as well.

  • I remember I used to beat this game on the Genesis! I guess I was a bit of a freak or something. I have it on the "Sega Genesis Collection" for the PS2 and I struggle like crazy to get through it.

    I do remember that when I defeated Death Bringer, the axe landing in his chest couldn't be processed, so he was killed by his own....pixellated graphic glitch.

  • Golden Axe, Sweet mother of David Bowie is that game difficult as all hell.

  • @Toongamer

    Adam and Joe fan ?

  • @BIGPIMPINUPDANYC I've never heard of those guys. That just came out of me at random.

  • down+Left+A+C+start. If you can't beat it with this then just give up gaming.

  • I loved the arcade version's ending. It was hilarious.

  • The arcade version pales in comparison to the MD version. Its hard as hell to get properly good at because you can't hit the enemies who are just outside the screen like you can in the MD version. It isn't nearly as long and the only bonus is that if you're the dwarf your axe is now golden.

    Death Adder isn't difficult and Death Bringer is overrated. Some people would have you believe you can't beat his skeletons. You can. I've did this game on one life but it took a lot of practice.

  • the death rattle the enemies make, one of them was taken from conan the barbarian when he kills one of the giants.

  • never  herd of this game

  • Man this game is just too easy for me,too bad i can't actually make a video of me playing it,cause my computer sucks atm...

  • I had a Golden Axe for the AMIGA :P

  • @supajasiu me too its boss

  • Wait I beat death adder 3 times as a kid but never made it Spoilers!!! To the real final boss because there's 1 jump that's only possible with some sort of moon jump

  • @MARIOMAC82 Just use the chick and do the running flying kick over it.

  • @MARIOMAC82 BTW I used to think this too. The jump isn't actually that hard. Hit forward then forward again (to run) and then jump over it. Cakewalk.

  • The genises version sucks the arcade is the real 1 , arcade version is super badass, genesis is only moderatley badass

  • @gqunit69

    What do you mean the Arcade was superior? The Genesis game had an extra level added to it (which was a big deal since it wasn't a very long game), and had an entirely new gameply mode called Duel Mode.

  • @EmeraldWarrior420 nah the arcade was better

  • wait you could jump in golden axe??

  • @jimmychoo9001

    ROFL!

  • this guys voice is dildos

  • I remember playing this with my brother and i remember how we where pissed when it suddenly turned off.

  • I just beat this game a few minutes ago, I didn't think it was too tough. I thought the last boss was fairly easy. As long as you dodge his heat seeking fire then he won't use his dragon and you can just constantly jump attack their asses. Ending lasts forever though.

  • WHERES JAMES ROLFE!

  • oh this brings back memories i like how death adder falls and his own axe falls on his chest fuckingg epic

  • Classic game, the skeletons were motherfuckers!

  • The genesis version is actually harder than the arcade. The arcade only has 5 stages.  The genesis turned death adder into "death adder Jr" in the 5th stage and added the 2 extra stages. The game is also not THAT hard. I beat it and there are a zillion harder games out there.

  • i remember, i was playing this with my friend, when i was 8 y.o. We were able to beat it in 20 minutes.. we actually were at stage, when we remember every single character, where is he comming from, what is he and what to do with him

  • I beat golden axe when i was six years old and u can't beat it? wow

  • me and my bro downloaded this game and beat it in 5 minutes.....

    he wasted cash downloading it. the ending was that it was just some kid playing arcade games. oh wow, for shame

  • The emulator has nothing on the original Genesis. The one with the headphone jack rules. Plug in some decent headphones and you'll see why this game was that damn good.

  • What happend to James?

  • Its tru what stuttering craig say at the end "Pop that shit on ur geneisi", fuck emulators or XBLA, play that shit like if ur a 90s child. I have the 6-pack on the sega genesis, playing it on the 16-bit console is bonified BADASS!!!

  • Well, to be fair the XBLA version is a arcade perfect port. It's based off the arcade, so no 2nd Death Adder. Plus, you get achievements for something you've already practiced for on the Genesis!

  • ive got it on the 6 pack for the sega nomad!!!

  • that's the dreamcast version

  • how the hell would you know

  • check out the comparison between genesis and dreamcast versions that have different sounds

  • inorite

  • This game was the shit, and its not that hard

  • This was hard when i was 6 yo

  • 1:04 thats not Death Adder!! He's the red one, before u save the king/queen. This is Death Bringer!

  • I beat the arcade game, so when I played it on Genesis and found out that they added a new boss that could use magic... it made me mad... because he's friggin' hard!

  • yeah he's REAL hard! His skeletons are the worst though cuz they have infinite health, so they're there as distractions. Dont let him hit u once or he will do a magic attack after he struck u down. Can u say '2 hit combo??' lol.. And the magic attack he uses depends on what regular attack he did on you, the best thing to beat that douche is to give him running attacks, may take long but hey... at least he aint summoning that fucking dragon! xDD

  • Are you fucking serious?! I never knew the skeletons were invincible! Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely try it again :) I'm no stranger to taking the long way and spamming the dash attack.

  • yeah no problem lol.. fucking skeletons! drop kick them too cuz u know how they middle u up and just beat u down. But yeah let me know how it goes! Yeah im not saying the XBLA is crap, im just saying if u want to relive the nostalgia again, just play it on the original console, no greater feeling to me than playing the originals on the original systems. Thats what i meant to say :DD

  • Sure thing! I'll definitely be singing praise when I beat it. Oh, got what ya mean. Luckly I have it on my Sega Genesis 3. It's not the original Golden Axe cart, but on the cart 6-PAK which comes with 6 Genesis games. It was a budget title for people who where late on buying a Genesis. Look it up on MobyGames or Wikipedia to see what all it came with.

  • oh yeah i know... i have the same game it comes with sonic, streets of rage, revenge of shinobi, that gayass bike game and columns! I have the golden axe with the original cartridge and the 6-pack version. I love my sega more than ANY of my systems.. fully functioning since 1992. If i had to choose between my ps3, 360, or my genesis, i always choose SEGA! ,

  • Golden axe I still remember what happend as I beat it with my bro it was awsome (dwarf rules)

  • Comment removed

  • get a wii then you can download genesis games

  • i already had a wii when i made this comment, i ment to say should i download it on wii or 360 but they have both the arcade and genesis versions on wii now so i just need to buy some points sorry for the misconception im gonna remove the comment now. i also put the comment because i wanted to know which was more like playing on the genesis

  • Actually the final boss is Death Bringer. Death Adder is his bitch.

  • @FlamingBat No Death Adder is the final. 

  • @Angemon4 In the Arcade version, yes. But in the Genesis version, the final boss is Death Bringer, the guy with the turquoise skin and medieval magenta S&M gear you see in this video. I saw that name next to him at the game's ending.

  • @FlamingBat Oh ya. Ya I have it for the gensis but I played it A Lot on the arcade.

  • The bosses, even Death Adder, are easy when you spam double tap run attacks. Game was still fun.

  • I have this on XBLA =D

  • I beat it after death adder is death bringer beat em both

  • The Dwarfs axe should be gold! o_O

  • Comment removed

  • is this what passes as a game review? the guy sounds like he never even played it. like hes just watching clips and basing his review on that. death adder is tricky but not impossible. focus on him and not his minions.

  • or instead of trying to find a genises, you can just buy the ultimate genises collection game. for the x-box 360

  • how can you not have beaten this game? i beat it over and over as a kid. the girl calling on the dragon was the shit in that game!

  • LOL fartherest i ever got was when i was 8 I got to that hole you fell in during the late part of the video lol i said fk that and started playing Super Mario world 0.o

  • lol super mario world is awesome, so is super metroid

  • I remember this game when i was really young...i never really did do good but then this year i decided to whip out the ol' Gensis and holy crap...this game PWNS!

  • i love this game

  • GILIUS!

  • The Ending: Some guys have a game of baseball with the credits. To be blunt.

  • Comment removed

  • I loved this game at 6 years old. 6 years old got my ass whooped by death adder then finally this year SWEET REVENGE! lol this game is still awesome

  • I played this on the good ol' Commodore 64 back when i had just started primary school.

    Man, games kicked ass back then :(

  • or you can get the mega drive collection which is a lot easier to find and plug in that ps2 controller and play it.... or con your friend into selling his copy to you for 5 bucks and pop it into you're mega drive and play it :P

  • actually you have to beat Death Bringer

    You kill Death Adder when you first enter the castle

  • this game wasnt that hard...i beat it every time i played it

  • Sorry, I don't believe it. I had this game when I was 8 and it was bat-shit crazy hard.

  • I remember the PC port being even harder. And slower.

  • this was an awesome game back in the day when I remember it but I played it recently, it just plays like a one button masher that is slow and tedious but I still have nostalgia for it

  • Or buy the Sonic's Ultimat Genisis Collection because that is kinda the same thing

  • there was a woman character???

  • i love this game i remember playing it on sega wen i was about 5 and i managed to complete it but does anyone remember that nearly impossible jump before you get to the last boss it took away nearly all ure lives lol

  • Wow! Now I feel really good about a) playing it on a (used) Genesis and b) finding it so easy to finish Death Bringer! Maybe it's because I cheesily spammed the flying kick or tended to save my magic until I could summon a dragon of equal size myself! (I always played Tyris Flare the Amazon!)

  • ha ha ,Damn right!! "No ,don`t Download it ,go get a Genisis and pad and play it, thats the only way to fully yadda yadda yadda etc"! IMO that applies to all games , except homebrews ,unreleased titles ,scrapped titles . Betas , etc..

  • That game kicks my ass i newer bet it =(

  • I LOVE this game. I've played it a lot in my childhood. I beat it so many times.

  • skeletons gang bang you lol

  • This game is amazing, i just beat it today... but the skeletons were freaking annoying!

  • If you can't beat this game... YOU NEED TO GET A NEW JOB BUDDY!!!!

  • Totally agree. Plus at 1:05, that is NOT death adder, it's death bringer. Come on, it's not that hard to research the game. Finally, no mention of the Amiga version; which was the most faithful of all the ports from the original arcade. I will happily say though that the Megadrive version is the best version, but still, if your title is going to be about Golden Axe at least mention the other ports.

  • Only way to beat Death Adder is the jumping down thrust attack.

    Kills quickly.

    Just make sure those skeletons aren't in the way.

    Those bitches

  • I remember when I plaied trought this game at amiga. I dont remember much about end, but Death addet was difficult. I call it at time sword game :P

  • kickass game

  • I just played this game and beat it today!

    On mame of course. It was a lot of fun.

    However I didn't see the flaming dragon attack the last boss is supposed to use on you.. WTH?

  • I never played it on Sega (only in the arcade). The one for Sega looks like it sucked only because they cut out the "blood sprinkler" after you defeat Death Adder (when the blade of the ax thrusts right on his chest). I know parents would've complained about that, but I thought that was cool in the arcade version. I did'nt like the dragon part or getting "gang banged" by those two anoying skeletons while you fight Death Adder! How freakin' cheap!

  • I owned this game, Death Bringer all takes is the timing of everyones favorite - Run - Kick..Combo, plus all that work to Death Bringer was worth it alone JUST for the music

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the other day i wanted to play this on my gensis but the power cord is missing T^T

  • this game was fucking amazing.

  • ive beaten this game as a child many times, craig is just over reacting. (or he's a bad gamer ;)

  • I've beaten it. Yes, I have downloaded it.

  • yeah it kicks ur ass lol

  • Death adder isnt too hard, you just have to spam your running attack, take forever tho

  • wet dreams huh hahaha

  • Golden Axe

    it kicks ass

  • dam that hole

  • I still have wet dreams about the chick. Her walk alone is sexy as shit lol

  • I used to beat this game just about every day when I was 4. This was the game I used to go to the arcade for before NBA Jam came

  • Well, that reviewer ruined that for me. :( Death=Adder (why the = sign in game?) wsa easy to beat. Full magic all the way.

    Peacey-wheats.

  • I just recently started playing Golden Axe again. Cool game. Nice review.

  • Actually Death Adder is pretty easy after you find out what to do.

    All you have to do is keep ramming the skeletons and Death Adder with your shoulder to keep them from attacking.

    Hell I've beat it 3 times doing this.

  • Agreed. Death Adder is easy, especially compared to Dark Guild in Golden Axe II!

  • for real.

  • I managed ti beat the game, it was hard though! Great game, I still play it and love it. Good review!

  • The skeletons do have unlimited health because my friend kept try to kill them off first before he fought the boss and he lost all his lives. when you get 2 skeletons on you your screwed

  • As a matter of fact, you CAN kill the skeletons, it just takes a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY long time........

  • El truco de este juego es que no te vengan malos por delante y por detras ala vez.

  • i beat the final boss but i think the skelingtons have unlimited health

  • nah they can be killed. they have 3 times the health of death adder. next time trying killing em. its kinda fun.

  • i swear to god i went to a trailer park this weekend and i played golden axe the arcade game their

  • when u swing ur weapon it goes wrifle raffle

  • lol! Yes it does! It certainly makes a very distinctive sound

  • quite hard has a good ending though.

  • i beat the game it aint 2 hard but his name is death BRINGER death adder is as easy as shit hes the guy u fight bfor saving the pricess and king

  • just beat it tonight with my friends we had to save all the continues till the end!!! (we had to use 1 getting there but we did it)

  • I know this game. It's at the arcades at the movie theater near me. But it's 3-D.

  • Excellent review, I just completed it recently:3

  • i have a better idea. why not just play it on MAME? you get the true arcade game, not some stupid home conversion which has been watered down.

  • ...because most people prefer to sit down with a classic controller when playing a game.

    If someone wants the true arcade experience, they'll purchase the cabinet.

    This is all about nostalgia and recreating the original experience; not a lame facsimile of the experience.

  • the end boss with magic is called Death Bringer in the credits

  • i had this on cartridge with other games

  • I have this game on the genesis 6 pak and I won.

  • wait i thought that that was the guy that was the boss of death ader? uno dont u kill him and then u go into the place that door and then fight that guy

  • I can beat it on 2 player, with my 6 year old neice

  • lol i finished that age 7 on my mega drive

  • This Game is Awesome I Still play it with my genesis.

  • What? U didn't see the ending? sad...

  • Haha it bring me good memories, when i was a kid i played with my younger sister! She never played video games but only Golden Axe. Classic

  • This game is so dope!

  • Don't download it no. LOL I downloaded it and it looked just as good as it did back in the day. My Dad use to play this game on his computer back in the day. I guess there was a PC port too.

  • Sorry about the quadruple post, my computer is acting up

  • Why did they use the Master System Music?

  • Whyd they use the Master System Music?

  • Why did they use the Master System Music?

  • OOOORRR... you could download it on your wii!

  • I beat him up ONLY with dwarf..
