Elder Scrolls: Arena (part 1) - First Dungeon

[MrReuben13]

dear god this is almost nothing like skyrim!

[sloosh6000]

That level up sound is on my digital connect four, it plays it when you power it on :S

[ragnaroktomorro]

change ur sound to midi in the install settings, it sounds way better. i think the popping sound has to do with the game's use of midi audio, that happens to me when playing midi tracks.

[jordo9618]

its funny to think that someday people will be thinking the same thing about skyrim like what im thinking of this

[omnislash771]

Goblin= Falmer

[mattehFLCL]

goddamn arena is fucking creepy. just the lack of sound effects and good graphics (compared to today's standards at least) leave everything to the imagination. the worst part is that my imagination is fucked lol.

[WoWgamer7532]

OMG xD I think this is better then Skyrim xD

[cyberius100]

i heard the popping sound too

[COMMANDandConquer199]

You're really good for the first time, iv never played arena but i played dagger fall (also on DOSbox) it war really hard.

[Buli0n]

the only elder scrolls game i didn't play ;/

[conor845]

@Buli0n not too late, you can download it for free

[Eshlar]

I saw your whole playthrough and I think you did a pretty decent job of it, considering you haven't played the game before. It would be interesting to see a second playthrough, with a different character, now that you are more experienced with the game, but I suppose you'd really need to love this game in order to play it more than once. By the way, I have the same pop sound when attacking, and yes, helmet faces seem to be standard which is awkward for Argonians, Dark Elves and Redguards.

[tehrealfake]

OMG we need an Arena remake or even better a new game for all of tamriel. That would make my head explode. MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW BETHESDA

[Dovahkiin0ar]

Woah! That Redguard is Michael Jackson! He can do the same! 04:34

[dem0nk1d123]

Arena guy was dovahkiin, there were just no souls to absorb :c

[tristanscharp]

still like daggerfall better.... none of the elderscrolls have beat its big ass map yet.

[Aw35om30]

@tristanscharp Not even Skyrim?

[eateroftheflame]

@Aw35om30 The Skyrim map is about 16 square miles, the Daggerfall map is about 63,000 square miles. So Skyrim is less than 0.01% the size of Daggerfall

[SomeRandomCommentor]

I love how people say 'Youtube it' rather than 'Google it' more often. It's nice to go for a change.

[kingbradley6000]

@SomeRandomCommentor XD what i do is such google it and just go straight to youtube ASAP

[KyleDude28]

was i the only one who would look behind themselves repeatedly while the music was playing

[umbrapox]

thats what i'm talking about... elder scroll has been kicking ass ever since i wore dipers

[iDubstepFan]

what platform are u playing this game on?

[Vazz7]

@iDubstepFan Dosbox

[Laoruperteen18]

@iDubstepFan PC matey, consoles were incapable to playing anything third dimensional back in the early 1990's, atleast when it came too RPGs

[superxmike]

How many hours of game play was in Arena and Daggerfall?

[4131025]

looks good for DOS

[nupsu1122]

I think im going to play this because i have enough of the: "Super, mega, uber, awesome, epic graphics games." And this one looks like a good game, so i might download it. I have Oblivion and Skyrim. Just sayin'. :D

[darkwyvern2]

Is it just me or does that helmet...turn my face white? LOL

[hman961]

Love how people act as if they know all about elder scrolls games just because they've played skyrim and yet they've never even heard of Morrowind, daggerfall, arena or possibly oblivion.

[Zekee27]

nice mullet on your character

[Garoninja1]

That helmet turns you into dovahkiin lol.

[DaPartyAnimal1]

They should remake this game with skyrim graphics

[ZyioScalebane]

Funny how people act like Skyrim just popped out of no where lol I can't believe there are so many people so ignorant of The Elder Scrolls lol I have Daggerfall sitting around on a CD somewhere, I bet a lot of these people who are just now getting into Elder Scrolls for Skyrim also didn't realize there are like 10 different Elder Scrolls games

[Cman101brawler]

wait The Elder Scrolls came out in 1994 ;o? i was born in 1994 too bad skyrim is like the only one i have lol :/

[sora558]

@Cman101brawler least this one is free same with daggerfall im downloading it right now! i wanna explore all of tamriel

[2000newguy]

nice video

[btsksc0976]

Huhhh, 1994-2011 wow

[TheMinecraftGamer247]

i loved this game :P

[EternalMoon13]

Lol I love how the goblin explodes into a puddle of blood xD

[FightThroughFaith]

why do the rats bark?! lol

[FortressGaming]

Arena Was Pure Epic,Do you think you can Play Morrowind and Redguard?

[Vazz7]

@FortressGaming I will get to them all.

[Frenzziie]

is there bow in this game??

[SoCalTactical]

The first game I ever really played was Wolfenstein 3D. Would have been awesome if I had this when I was a kiddo.

[Sephirothxxxxxxxxxxx]

@SoCalTactical that's a sick game right there... so many hours into wolfenstein and I still enjoy it.

[maddeath22]

This Game Is Looks Scary....

[ARMAND5779]

They should def remake this game with skyrim graphics and gameplay

[roninn2099]

That popping noise is a normal thing. It's how the sound was.

[kristiankultakristi]

Oh my god xD first elder scrolls xD

[sumakabob485]

Where did you get this? I'm really interested in running through the entire Elder Scrolls series after I'm done with Skyrim so I know the entire story.

[Vazz7]

@sumakabob485 Arena and Daggerfall are free on Bethesda's site.

[DirtyDubs69]

in HD this looks good -_-

[attomal]

This looks pretty good, too bad i wasn't even born when this was out. My uncle used to play alot of classic games he was the best!

[attomal]

Wow, i don't know what to say... i'm not even going to say anything at all because i haven't played this Never

[lquert]

thanks to this, we have what we have now... thanks for uploading this!

[puppymew]

Holy crap. For a game older then me it's graphics are awesome. I love the animation for this game. Me want ^-^

[loveisyourweapon100]

This, Daggerfall and Morrowind <3

[TheTruthSeek]

Who woulda thought!

I can't make up my mind about what's better, this 8-bit music or Jeremy Soule.

[TheWaterBoy24]

Its amazing how this game evolved into being what we know today as Skyrim: Game of the Year!

[MrSomeguy67]

wow this is the first elder scrolls game? shit how far back does Bethesda go?

[spector2ifi]

@MrSomeguy67 About 1982

[Deadalaska]

I've never played this or daggerfall i started out in Oblivion.

[hellscream66]

@Deadalaska that sucks, the true eldar scolls experience is marrow wind

[spector2ifi]

@Deadalaska You can get the game free at elderscrolls. com or uesp. wiki

[spector2ifi]

@spector2ifi *Games. Both games are available.

[Suomipanzerdiv13]

pretty impressive for the game that got the ball rolling. Respect!

Kinda like if you took classic doom engine and made a medival fantasy theme game using it.

3:43 Finding recogniseable or even cheezy sound effects is still possible in present games. Blackops had a few in their campaign.

[TheGtaNukka]

this looks so cool the only one I have is oblivion! haha i think it would be awesome if the remade all the old elder scrolls for 3rd gen consoles

[werozzi]

damn first dungeon, took me like three hours to beat!!

also the game runned too slow, then i remembered that ctrl+F12 speeds up dosbox, just dont speed up a lot, cuz music will behave wierdly

[TheRatedMformature]

They improved in skyrim

[JairCrawford]

Such a creepy yet intriguing atmosphere. The music, the short field of vision, the darkness of the horizon, and the noises the enemies make all set the tone so well. And to think, this game was made in 1994.

[joebingo49]

Helmet turning your face white? That's nothing. My clothes turned my head invisible in Skyrim!

[Ricardoo96]

What are the system requirements?

[RobertDEnde]

@Ricardoo96 Literally anything made in the last 15 years should be able to run it. You can download it off elderscrolls, dot, com, where they also have a link to the dos box program. Its pretty simple to load up, but I don't know how to edit the settings to get it to run as smoothly as @Vazz7 did.

[4NDY0WNZ]

Is there anyway this can be improved graphically?

[CorRomeister]

Inside jokes You Should Know about the Elder Scroll Series

Racist Helmet of Arena

Erotic Scrolls 2: Daggerfap

Elder Scrolls 3: Cliff Racers

Oblivion: Stop Right There Criminal Scum

Skyrim: [arrow to the knee joke]

[Jaonas1]

Bethesda Softworks did a very good job making the elder scrolls series.The Elder scrolls: Arena looks good.It was made back in 1994.

[aCrucifiedCrusader]

Anyone who thinks this game should be remade are fuckshit stupid. Its a great game the way it is, leave it at that.

[supercowdk123]

amazing to see how far bethesda has come since arena.

[That70sShowRocker73]

@supercowdk123 I find arena and daggerfall each amazing for their time.

[kyp724]

thts a nice game 4 tht time

[Tiroth77]

This game does look bad. but i bet it was the sh*t back in the day. i never played the old videogames so i cant appreciate them

[Vazz7]

Okay. Enough is enough. The comments got really stupid lately since Skyrim came out.

Any more comments:

bashing me or the game = deleted

about how old the graphics are or that it looks like minecraft(it doesn't) = deleted.

about an arrow to the knee overused stupid joke = deleted

with questions about how to run the game or the password at the door(just watch my video on how to run the game) = deleted

[iHopeYouLol]

@Vazz7 Amen. The knee jokes are fuucking annoying.

[jesse41993]

@Vazz7 I think I love you now for deleting pretty much everything that pisses me off about recent Elder Scrolls games video comments.

[SomeDude1403]

@Vazz7 on behalf of the smart half of the internet I feel your pain

[ratchet755]

@Vazz7 Vazz i finally hear you youre very good at this Props

[mogiethefirst]

@Vazz7 So are you planning to play the entire elder scrolls series on your channel?

[Vazz7]

@mogiethefirst Yes.

[Drackos005]

@Vazz7 Bro...your right. Not only does this original Elder Scrolls installment introduce alot of gaming material that is not only useful to the rest of the storyline regarding new games in the saga, including Skyrim. But has material familiar to players around in the mid' 90's. And people who bitch about how the graphics blow?...can suck it. Thanks man, your video of gameplay really puts into perspective how much the "shitty" graphics have progressed through-out the past decade or so...

[flarekary]

@Vazz7

The comments about how old the graphics are probably by 9-11 year olds born in the 21st century. They would not understand unfortunately, the classics. They should be grateful that technology has gotten far for everyone to enjoy good graphics. Yet old graphics have a quaint charm to them.

[JRcraftMC]

is it just me or dose that helmet turn my face white lmfao

[GarnetStar1919]

luv the oldies morrowind was the first i played oh how i miss it

nvr played the first two elder scrolls but ima about to

[Achille12345]

Anyone can tell the difference with this game and Skyrim?

I cannot. =(

[slayerdark0]

I wish I had played this instead of doom and prince of persia :P

[PJohnnyJX]

Comparing this game, to Skyrim...

Oh yeah. This game kicks Skyrim's ass.

[Flameb97films]

look at what it has evolved to now

[datum711]

wow.... its like i found one of the worst games ever made in history.... 

[Vazz7]

@datum711 More like worst comment in history.

[Progan666]

@Vazz7 people do not understand that this game was released in 1994.

[TheCreamySausage]

@datum711 Its like you're one of the biggest tools ever made in history...

[Coolgames52]

@datum711 SNAP! YOU GOT SHUT DOWN!

[PedisTheFetus]

I think I have seen worse textures in skyrim tbh.

[DinoSwede]

@Vazz7 How do you include the sound effects (if that's possible) cause my rom doesn't have them.

[devilseyecry]

came here from skyrim, never know elder scroll exist ... lol

[Coldretter]

kinda seems like minecraft. but with runescape stuff

[NonstopRam]

I would play it portably.

[SpartanB170]

its amazing to see what Skyrim started with...

[Ezioaudiawesome]

wow how the elder scrolls have changed...

[1337fox]

These dungeons, along with the ambient music is a lot more creepier than in Oblivion/Skyrim. You don't see anything until it's right in your face :o

[hydrokarbun]

0:10 "I decided to play a Redguard warrior because errr...(he's a black dude) i love being a fighter type..hits hard"

[Mrskateopia31]

Reminds me of minecraft :)

[mynameisfun1]

how do you jump men?

[MrWikid24]

Some people don't understand the concept of time. This is the first elder scrolls, at the time the graphics were amazing

[Keepseeker]

You sound hot. :3

[TickleishPickle]

bethesda should remake daggerfall and arena with the skyrim engine, thumbs up if you agree

[bodo635]

@TickleishPickle Arena is like the entire Tamriel ... would be great to see something like The Elder Scrolls X: Tamriel.

[Blaizen88]

@TickleishPickle As long as they dont put the shitty 'rpg' elements they have now, and leave it exactly the way it is.

[CaptainParagon]

@TickleishPickle someone needs to post this on every video that is elder scrolls related :D

[MidBoss17]

@TickleishPickle if they make a remake of Arena I think the game will be massive seeing as Arena covers all of Tamriel.

[jensbuhler]

@TickleishPickle Why should they do that as opposed to making new ones in elsweyr...or elsewhere? :P

[Skoomax]

@TickleishPickle Creation Engine, it is

[Skusioh]

the racist helmet is hilarious, turning black people to white. :D

[Akilroth234]

Its like Doom 1

[rodolforops]

lol looks like minecraft

[TheJStorm808]

Pretty good for pixels.

[kantion5]

omg this looks so retarted compared to oblivion/skyrim XD

[Gaimgeiksunite]

lol how they hell did this go from pixel to hd ?

[Arcsoul15]

ah those beautiful graphics

[Underdog74745]

Wow this is... wow XD Reminds me of where it all began and how it has changed so much

[supask8a23]

Arena=Minecraft's grand daddy

[LordAlpha1]

Better graphic than Skyrim.

[4N4LPIR4T3]

almost as good as skyrim graphics

[iamthenumber7]

Wow. This guy is fucking lame at arena.

[Vazz7]

@iamthenumber7 You call that trolling? I beat this game easily once I got the hang of it.

[RaTTlEHeaDz95]

cant see the difference of this and skyrim sry... i just cant ..... :D

[Mrcreeper415]

This looks like shit compared to skyrim.I am amazed at the difference

[flarekary]

@Mrcreeper415

Huh... I wonder why the graphics look so different, maybe because the game was made in 1994 and used older technology to create it ... ? You can't compare this game with Skyrim good grief.

[dabajabaza111]

this is the game that started it all.

it's amazing how huge hit series' like MGS and the elder scrolls start off as 8 bit games

[flarekary]

@dabajabaza111

Arena ain't 8 bit, Metal Gear, yes, but not arena.

[legopov2]

Looks like Minecraft! Wich Texture Pack? ;D

[Z3ir3m]

Damn I got a urge to play this game after watching this video D: I tried playing this once and sucked balls, was decent at daggerfall tho.

[LostFaceify]

Go back in time and let them play Skyrim....MINDFUCKED.

[xcelgadisx]

thumb up if you want a remake of this amazing game.

[Apocalyptincarnate]

I started with Oblivion and then Skyrim. I tried Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind and couldn't. And I mean I REALLY tried. I spent days on all of them and I just couldn't do it. I feel bad for not being able to enjoy them...

[Godkiller08]

I like how people who played this game feel so intelligent saying that Arena has more to offer than Skyrim and that they don't care about graphics, and staying here to say shit instead of playing. Seriously, I'm too young to have played this game, I only played Oblivion and then Skyrim, and of course i feel nostalgic for Oblivion, but I seriously know that Skyrim is much better in overall than Oblivion. The only thing that is particulary to old games is this incredible darkness.

[flarekary]

@Godkiller08

You gotta grow up playing old games first of all. Not entirely, but for most people anyways.

[DFTheNightmare]

@flarekary I guess i was kind of like that. I was born in 96, and i grew up playing zelda games on my nintendo 64. My 64 kicked the bucket long ago, but i still play a lot of old games with computer emulators. Arcade, NES, SNES, N64, they're all still pretty awesome. Too many games these days are just lazily developed.

[NateTheGreatSays]

Thieves level up so fast! I got to level 7 before leaving the first dungeon!

[Interventiondude]

this game in a remake would be awesome and the graphics are so high tech!

[BigFreakingCacodemon]

The dungeons in this game scare the heck out of me!!

[Zabuza123456789]

I hope this game gets a remake.

[assninga96]

the reason why you had that problem with the sound of your weapon is because when that game was made they didn't have the newer sound qualities we have so thats the way it sounds

[umagarandyorton619]

Wow. I look at this and I see that even though The Elder Scrolls is becoming better and better, it was already great at that time. Congratulations, Bethesda :)

[thepope229]

wasnt even born look at skyrim and then this...wholey shit.

[Caydiem]

Never played Arena but I'm getting chills just because it feels retro as fuck.

[blackknight3275]

The beginning is really difficult!

[MultiAaa1979]

true classic

[fflover9000]

Call of Duty gets 8 games in 8 years but the Elder Scrolls get 5 in 17 years. Just shows how much detail they put into each Elder Scrolls game.

[corey8144]

its sad when you can do more in the original games rather the newer ones. I want playability NOT EYECANDY!!!!

[Furnus105]

@corey8144 can do more stuff? like what, please tell, i also miss playability from old games :)

[akumie2]

@Furnus105 Yeah I also wonder

I have played Oblivion and arena doesnt seem to offer more

[KaylinJH]

@corey8144 exactly I want gameplay to keep me coming back, not high polygon counts

[berts1405]

@corey8144 skyrim has both stop complaining

[estalling]

@corey8144 Silly. The amount of content in skyrim is mindboggling. And it has eye candy. Stop complaining and play it.

[LabyrinthOfDream]

@corey8144 lol... you havent even played skyrim have you?

[dabajabaza111]

@corey8144 play morrowind, the in game text is equal to that of 6 large novels, and see if you're still bitching about eyecandy.

and most of the skills you won't even use.

[Ninja1Ninja2]

@dabajabaza111 Daggerfall has a shitload of useless skills as well.

[ihatealderney]

@corey8144 Playability? Some of the gameplay mechanics were close to broken in Arena and Daggerfall. Morrowind also had fairly bad melee combat compared to Oblivion (which wasn't that good with melee). Skyrim has the most refined gameplay to date in this series.

[gilgamesh310]

@ihatealderney It's still very mediocre though. It's nothing compared to Dark Messiah.

[Hexagram195]

@corey8144 What more can you do in this? All I see is him looking left and right and swining an axe.

[ColasTeam]

I know this is old video,but was pretty good,I like a lot xD

[xxxGlobberxxx]

huge diftent frome skyrim :P

[LoonyOrvilleBoy]

@xxxGlobberxxx For the love of everything that is good and decent in this world; Fix your English.

[9719hais]

8 people bought this instead of Skyrim

[AdamNeilC]

@9719hais The game has been free for 7 years..

[9719hais]

@AdamNeilC Lol, touché

[Rygarr88]

Ya this stuff had to be awesome for the gamers back in the day haha. I love seenig the first of a series like this! Onto Daggerfall now!

[prototypepimpin]

Man, i love that music. is only oblivion and skyrim had dungeion music this cool.

[flarekary]

@prototypepimpin

Yeah, the newer games have too much orchestrated feel.

[Swiffers]

Every person who's watched this video in the past 2 years did so because they've been playing Skyrim. lol
