Amiga - Shadow of the Beast - Part 1 of 3

Here's the first part of a complete run through Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga, as verified by Twin Galaxies. Played on an Amiga 500.

Note: Sound is in mono (for the first part only) and video is recorded at 25fps (1/2 the original). The rather boring climbing sequences through the wells have been removed.

Full video also downloadable from http://www.recordedamigagames.org/

does this game have any story?

[horsie111]

@y2kize Yes. Here's the game manual online: tinyurl dot com slash 25eq8gc. It includes the back story of the main character.

This game had a distinct, otherworldly feel that games these days can't really match.

non a house evaluation can reduce the AAA+ of that game

@PokemonOz I agree with everything you wrote, amazing music and hard as hell. How can anyone who has played it think that it is anything but too hard? Man I spent hours over this game and never got far haha. But it was worth it just to hear the music and watch the amazing graphics and animation. It took me to another world and it was hard to leave. Amazing game really.

Psygnosis are responsible for my terrible school grades, and the fact that I work in games now.

I used to be so pro at this as a kid, downloaded the ROM a second ago and lasted about 2 minutes... Then I find myself here.
