Trivia: Alex's sudden death (after which he tells the game's three protagonists to save the King and Princess from Death Adder and his minions) as gameplay begins is meant to be a joke on the fact that the popularity of Sega's then-mascot, Alex Kidd, was fading away and would be replaced by Sonic the Hedgehog.
@Maplesyrup41 That was the Genesis version, this Arcade version ends after Death Adder, the Genesis version expanded the story with 2 more levels, most likely because of lower graphics and sound quality.
@GoombaParaKoopa Yeah they are saying "oh god" the sample was taken from the movie "First Blood" when Mitch gets caught on a spring trap that Rambo set. I think there was a few games back then that ripped SFX from movies anyone know any others?
I didn't like the sega version that much, but I loved the arcade version. Gaming heaven right here on you tube! This reminds me of when I was a kid watching some dude whoop butt on an action packed arcade game.
I love these fun side-scrolling hack & slash games! I bet that little blue guy with the sack and the potions gets old real fast, though. Just give me what you got you freaky gnome!

1:07 I was expecting a kind of "Death=adder, he killed close relatives of the main cast"-text to show up.
