The reason is because at that moment the game had to load the rest of the stage from the floppie and you had to wait, i know it because i had this game original for my amiga, i suppose you played it on an emulator, and the emulator does the same thing when you reach certain parts, of course you don´t notice the "loading" because that could only be heard when the drive was loading the next part of the level.
@cubex55 you legend, on a major Amiga nostalgia trip, really awesome to see this. This game was so difficult, it drove me crazy when I was a kid, but I loved the visuals and music. So cool.
@CaptainFrostshock If you'd owned the first game (as opposed to pirating it ;), the beautifully-written introduction in the manual explained who Maletoth The Beast Lord was. Strictly speaking, the big toe you killed in the first game was supposed to have been Maletoth, but Beast 2 retconned that and said that it was actually Zelek (the Big Bad in this game) in giant form, hence taking your sister to replace you - it's personal. :)
@sasfcps Not worse, it just used the hardware differently. Beast 1's infamous multi-parallax effect was limited in that you could only move left and right - the tree cavern and castle levels were loaded separately with 1 parallax layer. Beast 2 they tried to make more seamless (note how the rear parallax layer scrolls in both axes), but it meant that the parallax layer was restricted to 2 colours. By Beast 3 they'd figured out a way of doing Beast 2's scrolling with Beast 1's parallax effect.
@sasfcps No probs - I'm lucky enough to have a friend who worked in the UK games industry for 10 years. His boss was Jason Perkins (of Monty /Thing On A Spring fame), and one of his colleagues used to work for Psygnosis and knew Paul and Martin. He confirmed my suspicions that Beast 1 was effectively a graphics demo with a game bolted on. Beast 2 was more of a coherent game, but difficulty was pitched way too high. Beast 3 was almost perfect, but only die-hard Amigans (like me) played it.
I'd still say that SOTB II is the hardest game I've ever played, even to this day. I feared this game as a kid. SOTB II had a very creepy and palpable atmosphere like no other game. It boasted an unforgettable intro sequence & amazing graphics but the developers put no thought into the actual gameplay. The gameplay had many pitfalls: vague clues for ensuing puzzles, traps that if done incorrectly the game was over, no save points & you only had one life.
Damn, amazing to finally find this game. I just remembered playing it as a little kid. It also scared me a lot. xD I never forgot the intro and the guy opening the door. Never got far though, it was far too difficult for me.
@CammyMac lol, you must have brought screen gems package too. I agree Nightbreed was stupidly difficult along with Shadow of the best 2. Even Days Of Thunder was difficult it went so slow!
Even though I am a console and SEGA lover and prefer Shadow of the Beast 1 for the Sega Mega Drive Japanese version more than the Amiga one I see that Shadow of the Beast 2 is looking better on Amiga compared to the SMD and the Sega Mega CD version as well. The music at least on the SCD is still awesome but the graphics are a bit down...
Great that people still share these cool games. You happen to remember what was the game (adventure game if I recall correctly) that started from a small stone house and you were locked into this small room, and there was some sort of ogre that was living in that house. You had to get out from the room and then something... damn can't remember much..
i loved how up itself this game was and yeah impossiably hard but a work of art vsionary jots of acid and limitations i think limitations make u more creative
You help me pass the game since i have a thing for this game.
Cuz like when i was 7 i played this and it was scary and very hard.
So i'm like desperate to complete the game now LOL
Say at 7:00 when you get to the switches, howcome i get to those switches and hit the lower switch as you do in the video though the elevator never comes, i just drop into the acid and die...fustrating any help please?
@cubex55 another for ya.....u started the game in a office and had to put a bucket of water on top of door to get out and then i remember u went to a different world???? remember that one?
"Thanks to Andrew Bond for the compressor" WTF were they thinking? how could they add that stupid message in the title screen of the game??? not serious!
Brings back memories watching this! Looking back on it now though these kind of games back then were just total nonsense and infuriating to the point of insanity. Probably where I got my bad temper from. Here's the main reason why, there was just pretty much NO WAY to avoid getting hit by certain enemies. You'd have enemies coming at you from all directions and your character just couldn't attack effectively to deal with it. Plus the fact that when you died you'd go BACK TO THE START.
oh man !!!!! this brings back so many memories !!! i could only cheat 2 complete this game , it was hard as fuck !!! thanks so much 4 loading this up and 4 the memories
this was my second video game ever, i was probably 5 or 6 years old, if you think it was frustrating try playing that on my age :P (i also was scared all the time when i played this game, everything on this game looks and sounds grim), i only had that and sonic, i should look for my console around i hope it still works, i have both games here pristine original cartriges.
i loved this game ... incredibly frustrating at times but awesome when you figured out the puzzles. like jumping on that thin bit of ground to get into the underground. how long did that take to find?!?
Anyone ever notice that you can fall into the bottom levels if you jump into the gap between the branch (jumping from right to left)at 13:48? Looked like a missed bug in their programming.
Haha me and my sister were 4 and 7 years old when we were playing this no wonder we never got anywhere near as far as this, think we spent most of our time waiting for the bastard amiga to load!!!!
Yes... thinking back, these were probably the best series of games available for the PC. They were probably better than 'Another World' and 'Flashback and other such games in my opinion. Although this second instalment was very difficult without the cheat mode enabled.
Great game but very difficult,No save points so when you die your going all the way back to the title screen,i mean ALL THE WAY BACK,when you died the game punished you so much it may aswell have taken you back to the title screen,turned off your computer,put itself back in its box,put you back in the bed you woke up in that morning and sent the human race back to the dawn of time lol
only 25 minutes long and i couldnt ever manage to finish the goddamn game... didnt have the internet then either to look up cheats! brilliant game tho, id love to play it again :) music brings me back too...
I can't believe how poor the ending was compared to the amazing introduction. The start of the game totally wowed me when I was a kid although I never got very far.
@dafunkbiatch right on. where was YT when I needed you? many years ago I nearly threw my amiga out of the window on several occasions whenever I got caught in the pit with no chance of getting back up after the ladder retracts (this happened OFTEN). man, how I hated this game.
you guys remember the infamous Zipstick Super Pro and the Kempston Competition Pro 5000 Joysticks ..damn things where near indestructible...ahh the memorys...the fights with my brothers lol!
If you died, THAT'S IT; no continues, passwords, save games, NOTHING. Back to the beginning you go. Kids today, you've got it so easy with yer auto-save malarkey eh?
@fuckalot3000 The game is hard even if you do make your character invulnarable - moreso possibly since you get overconfident. There are plenty of things you need to time right and do right to complete the game.
@FCT5809 You're probably a fucking 15 year old who downloaded a fuckin emulation. Go fuck yourself up the ass while you play your faggot COD kid. Oh and games like the oddesy didn't even have this much so bring up some space wars nig. and games like mario had lives, it wasn't cause of the period of time it was shitty programing.
@FCT5809 you're so right man, when we were growing up games were so unmerciful. You had one shot, no matter how far you got, if you died you had to start over. We were almost in fear of these games and the music to this game still gives me that nervus feeling in the pit of my stomach! Games these days are so kind in comparison
ya but if you fell into the water and didnt jump out, you had to restart and it takes like 5 minutes to get back to the beginning because of the loading times...oh memories
agreed.i can remember watching the intro sequence in my local computer shop on this game. i was soo wanting this computer and game.ssooooo.i remember telling my dad i could have the computer and just ONE game and i would be happy with that alone..oh - and defender of the crown :)
Awesome opening video.

This game used to scare the CRAP out of me when I used to play it. I was about 4 years old then - now I see why it scared me hahaha

I used to be scared of this game as well. I played Shadow of the Beast 2 on my families Amiga 500 for many years!

If you died, THAT'S IT; no continues, passwords, save games, NOTHING. Back to the beginning you go. Kids today, you've got it so easy with yer auto-save malarkey eh?

@FCT5809 Yep, this game was hard as fuck if you didn't cheat, which I used to do. Don't remember the password but it made the character immortal.

@fuckalot3000 The game is hard even if you do make your character invulnarable - moreso possibly since you get overconfident. There are plenty of things you need to time right and do right to complete the game.

@fuckalot3000 you ran to the right and when you met the first wild man use the talk kay and enter "tenpints" from memory.

@FCT5809 You're probably a fucking 15 year old who downloaded a fuckin emulation. Go fuck yourself up the ass while you play your faggot COD kid. Oh and games like the oddesy didn't even have this much so bring up some space wars nig. and games like mario had lives, it wasn't cause of the period of time it was shitty programing.

@FCT5809 you're so right man, when we were growing up games were so unmerciful. You had one shot, no matter how far you got, if you died you had to start over. We were almost in fear of these games and the music to this game still gives me that nervus feeling in the pit of my stomach! Games these days are so kind in comparison

Ten pints indeed, people. No doubt this game had the most famous cheat mode of all time!
