I actually had the Genesis version of this, "Legend of Galahad." The changes to the game are slightly puzzling, but I have a feeling it was that old "We don't like Japanese imagery" card. =P
It's called 'The Legend of Galahad' on the Genesis/Mega Drive. I recently bought Galahad again after owning it as a kid and not playing it for 15 years. The memories!
If I knew someone who could program it, I'd love to manage a PC "HD" remake of this title as an homage to it, arrange all the music, redo the graphics in a higher resolution, but keep the gameplay the same, it'd be my dream project to see this game live again as a freeware hd pc title.
It's pity you can't play Leander with music and sound at once. Would've been nice if they (cubex55 or in this case Retroplay) had played with sound and added the music to the video the same way they have done it with the longplay of Chuck Rock (Amiga version).
I've wanted to know for years where that opening music came from, I had it on an old tape somewhere, long since lost the track listing names, amazing. Cheers.
Only just realised they spelt my name wrong in the credits, "Tim White" instead of "Tim Wright"... hehehehe! Funny what you find out so many years later. :OP
@coldstorageman123 One thing I used to love about the good old Psygnosis, now Sony UK after being brought out by SONY Imageworks games in the UK platformers was the music, the othere great thing about them were the graphics.
The only crap game from them I've seen was a Delphine Software/Travelers Tales Fighter called Shaq-Fu where the sub company from Psygnosis which is TT and the sub company from Electronic Arts which was DS teamed up and made one of the worst fighters ever mass produced.
@wrestletube1 That was one of the bummers that caused a major downfall in the games quality of those 2 major gaming brands although it their subsidiaries which teamed up to make it.
Electronic Arts was stupid and actually decided to put their name on the SEGA versions box though unlike Psygnosis with the AMIGA version which I think didn't wanted to put their label on a pile of crap which was a smart move but it still ended up being brought by Sony.
its the Original sountrack of the game Leander. One of the best games for amiga when it was still alive. Im also totally in love with this melodic tune... Back then games were often very artistically made.
The fact that Psygnosis couldn't turn enough profit with their games amazes me. Between this and Agony and SO many other truly clever games, makes me wish they'd still be around.
@AwollSGF Nonsense, Psygnosis did VERY well, part of the reason Sony bought them to ensure the original Playstation had a good library of games to begin with. Whoever told you Psygnosis couldn't turn a profit was a liar!
Fuck me, that final boss is a bit of an anti climax! :S

0:47:15 A... A coin volcano? Now I've seen everything. Talk about a blatant, and awesome farming point for players to get the cash they need.
What I wouldn't give for a money volcano to burst out of the ground around here... because then I could just buy it back!

You did not rescue the prisoners ( Lemmings) in world 3.3. That stage was suppose to be a joke by Pysgnosis-Team 17.
You found a way out but you went right by it. Playing the full game is what makes it fun.

Played the Megadrive version as well. Didn't even come close to the Amiga in any respect!

For Chuck Rock its easy, as its always the same track, for Leander this would have been far harder ;)

Music is pretty good, especially the shop section.

Surely, they could have cut one of the sound channels briefly, now and again, for a sound effect.

Ohh man! I'm like a colossal fan of your music in this game! Excellent choice mood and instruments - super-catchy stuff!
(I will need to refer whoever will be doing music for my game back to Leander for reference: )

The final boss was Thanatos. A demon God who's lower body was comprised of wind. And he was a huge disappointment. He was incredibly easy to beat.
