Well, here it is. After finishing the Dos Version I could pretty much run through the game. I just had to stop and think sometimes in the pyramid waxwork. Unfortunately there are two small flaws, I couldn't get in order. First: the game experienced a sound bug most of the time, meaning, that the sound effects are mostly not there. The Background music plays all the time, but the sounds would disappear and reappear without a logical reason. Second: Since I made a legit HD installation, I couldn't use quick safes, so I had to work around this as well. I used the normal in game saving and cut it out of the video by halting and reastarting the recording just before and after that. You'll notice the music sometimes jumps, that's when I saved the game. So, I hope you like the Video. -

Oh boy, the main character just leaves one of the evil twins stuck in a helpless baby body in a graveyard filled with vengeful zombies.
Maybe he took the baby to a safe place or something?
Three words: Baby. Back. Ribs.
Well...Considering the main character is actually the evil twin himself..
@@LovelyCinccino It is highly implied that nobody knows who is to be the evil twin. The graveyard coffins indicate you are good, and your brother is the evil one, while the fact your uncle won't give you the evil twins' tools until they're dead in fear of you being corrupted by them implies you are the evil one. It was intentional, as to raise the risk factor.
Infernape-VA-Official Guess we’ll never know the truth
With a six-pack like that (which is visible through his coat!), they should call him Jack the Ripped instead.
Maybe it's just me but with his character design he seems like he'd fit into Bloodborne perfectly.
Phucketmcsucket That's because Bloodborne is going for that gothic Victorian look.
M'lady
BugPope Jack the Ripped Ripper.
Something that I noticed:
The graveyard twin was the only one who didn't save a woman in any way (the Egypt twin went to save his girlfriend, the London twin saved all the surviving call girls by killing Jack the Ripper, and the mine twin saved a group of people that included a female doctor). He just went back to get his shovel.
Just thought it was interesting.
Ender Menon Not only that, the graveyard twin had no reason to really kill off his brother (aside from the fact that he was controlled by the protagonist) if we look at the circumstances he's in. The Egypt twin needs to kill his evil twin for that princess booty. The London twin kinda doesn't want to die to a mob, get arrested, or let a call girl do a kill steal. The mine twin did his job and coincidentally killed his evil Bro.
The graveyard twin just wanted his shovel.
The shovel *is* his girlfriend
@@FarisFlowers all necromamcers are internal evil. See no way to put it.
@@TarkTheWild of course necromancers are evil and dangerous, which is what makes his twin the least likely person to perform the task of ridding the evil twin. Again, he just wanted his shovel. Lol
@OCTAGON BLUE curses and black magic are so powerful, they can work retroactively. Besides, magic doesn't have to follow the laws of reality.
I had an original, boxed copy of this back in the day. My mom bought me a used Amiga 500 and it came with a huge box full of original games. Waxworks was one of the games that genuinely scared me as a kid. Nice to see how it really played out, since I couldn't finish it myself. What really pisses me off, is the fact that I sold all of that Amiga stuff when I got older.
One of the very first macabre games. Cost me many a night. How nice to see it once again.
its only took 29 years...SO THATS HOW you do the London part. haunted me for these near 30 years. Back when games were magical adventures.
I love the psuedo-industrial synthy music going on in this game.
I loved how each Waxwork had something that made random exploring very dangerous. The Graveyard it was the infinite amount of zombies, the Egypt level it was all the tripwires and blocks that when pushed would cause a boulder to come hurtling towards you, the London level it was the policemen and mobs with torches, and the Mine level it was the moving vines and killer pods which if you run out of spray in the chemical sprayer you can't get past them oh and who can forget the minecart which if you don't block will trap you in the mine forever
Danger is the name of the game here. Shit makes me too tense, though. It's easy to screw up if you're not thinking clearly.
childofthe80s1981 I always hated getting that horrible zombie death, this game is awesome
i used to smash my keyboard on the mine when i fucked up with the cart making me have to restart the whole level. this game requires ultra brain skills and could make you smart. I beat it But by smashing keyboard at least once.
Making the sprayer into a flamethrower is awesome, but you have to remember to replace the screw after opening the gas canister or you'll run out of fuel forever.
Yeah, the minecart can even run you over!
One of them was Jack the Ripper
One of them was a huge, tentacled plantlike beast
One of them was an immortal necromancer
One of them was a guy with a sword
*One of these things is not like the other...*
well technically Jack is just a guy with a dagger.. and a medical bag.
the tentacle like beast can't exist, so it might not be like the others
well actually, i got that since i have no idea, zoro only said that one is not like the others, i've never heard of both necromancer (i've heard of wizards but didn't know about the two being the same) and a plantlike beast situation happening in real life so yeah, no idea
Well, technically the "guy with a sword" is actually an Egyptian priest who worships Anubis.
I got it. Jack was the only one who was not an evil priest or an evil guy pretending to be a priest. He's the odd man out.
Graveyard theme:💀💀💀💀
Graveyard theme when zombie encounter:
🦟🐜🦟🐜🦟🐜🦟🐜
Yep.
The graveyard is rather creepy.
He should've just sent the butler. That dude is ripped.
no, because if he does that there will be no porpouse for the story of the game
zet luciferus. channel.
Thanks for your insight. >.
MyNameIsBucket When entering the Waxworks you enter the bodies of your ancestors, so all that muscle mass won't do him any good. Besides, he's not related to them, so...
Because the family of buff af fuck butlers isn't the one with the satanic twin brother curse.
Yall guys got r/wooshed
And all these troubles began with a frickin' chicken...
Video game logic at it's finest
It's always the damn chickens.
I can't tell how much this game traumatized me when I played it as a kid. Hell, even my older brothers were too scared to play this.
I finally finished this game today! after 15 years! I am so happy! a goal finally accomplished!
Congratulations!
hey man just beat it today after 30 years! Feels great and had a good time playing it.
The mine section is definitely the coolest and most original part of the game.
As someone who had played all of the first 4 Silent Hill games prior to replaying Waxworks for the first time in 12 years, I was surprised at how much this game (and Elvira I+II) creeped me out. The mine and graveyard levels especially.
The graveyard one is pretty original, also. I really appreciated their zombies a) aren't green b) don't bite. It's just an uncommon way to see zombies. But I must say, the only really spooky level was the mine.
The enemies aren't hard to beat, but there's just something that really freaks me out in the mine level with the atmosphere. I guess it's the combination of mutant opponents with the underground setting. And that music.
I find it kind of funny that in the zombie area, when you fight the zombies with the sickle it sometimes moves with the rhythm of the fight music.
Considering the only thing the witch was guilty of was STEALING A CHICKEN, wouldn't it have made more sense to prevent the curse by saving her from being mutilated?
Well that would not be quite as riveting lol.
She probably would've stolen from someone else and we'd be back to where we started, just with a different family cursed.
Well, if we think that it's the Dark Age, in that ages they cutted the hand to the thiefs
The gypsy witch is so spiteful she will prevent you from acting if she is aware of your presence.
Never mess a man with his chicken
00:50 what a nice old guy.
00:56 DUDE, YOU'RE FREAKIN RIPPED!!!
This is an incredibly detailed game for the Amiga. It's easily one of the best I've seen recorded as well. I can't imagine what this would have been like playing back in the day, it seems hard enough just watching the video. Good post!
That pharaoh must have a hell of wide arms to carry all that stuff by himself alone. The final scene is so plot twist :P
Love how the zombies are so stupid even by zombie standards that if you cut off both their arms they just sort of wave their stumps at you angrily instead of just, you know, trying to bite you or something.
With no arms to keep their balance they would fall over. Ever tried headbutting something with your hands tied?
ya
but zombies are most likely to bite, in some games zombies never use their arms just head to bite your body.
ZorotheGallade yes. Several times and I have succeeded
Well keep in mind these zombies aren't just the classical mindless creatures that want to eat you. They're dead corpses animated by the magic of a necromancer who just wants you to die.
4:01 If you look at the moon, there is a skull in it.
@@blom6566 And ominous...
Digi?
Is there any better sound to grow up to than an Amiga soundtrack? HELL NO! MAN I MISS THIS STUFF :(
Me too. :(
1:12:45
That's so cool, that you get to see what your dude looks like. :0
23:44 Now that is one badass gravedigger.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your Amiga LongPlays - it brings back WONDERFUL memories (although I've never made it through any without dying many, many times). Your videos encouraged me to unbox my Amiga 500 - still works after being packed up for 20 years! Thank you!!!
I didn't realize this for a while, but it looks like there's a skull in the moon of the London level.
(6:14)
Yarp!
Marcel Schlachen damn even the moon was cursed
Oh yay, the chemical sprayer is empty. Oh look, a generator with gas in it. Bet it wo... Wait a second, It did?
HOLY SHIT, AN ADVENTURE GAME WITH A LITTLE COMMON SENSE. Still, London's fetch quest adventure takes it down a notch.
I can't help but miss when graphics like this were as impressive as it got. I also miss when FMV was actually cool, because now it's so *horrible* to look back on 🤣
Anyone notice that when the twin is fighting the zombies the music is timed with the slashes of the weapon?
Back when games took years to beat...if ever.
This blew me away, still have it in my collection today, great game and thanks for posting.
Jesus, it really doesn't feel like 12 years ago I watched this video..
Thank you for making this playthough. I never herd of this game, but it seemed creepy. I watched it all the way though and I think it has one of the most interesting stories I've herd from a game of its time. Nice stuff.
This game is one of the coolest games I've ever seen in my life!
Thanks for playing this game and for showing it to the world. I absolutely love it and I strongly believe it has "something" that games nowadays dont really have. Again thanks!
as good as this and other amiga games are, i know we can all agree the amiga was bassicaly the home for moon logic games.
+Neko Medic Definitely. And the punishment for NOT checking the barrel in the closet of room 7 out of 100 is death. Every. Single. Time.
"A papyrus" HERE COMES THE UNDERTALE FANS
Sonic The Hedgehog bro, no.
"Just click this very tiny 2-pixel wide key in this specific room to get the item you will need to put into this other specific spot in another room so that 2 hours from now you won't die horribly, it's so obvious duh."
The weirdly addicting music makes such longplays great to let it play in the background, if you want to do something without hearing voices in it.
Yay~! What is it with these old Amiga games, that have lots of ways to die and an addictive tune?
this game gimme nightmares as a child, i managed to do the graveyard and london level, but gave up on the other two. Great memories!
1:48:25 Now that is probably the most brutal scene i have seen in an Amiga game! Fantastic art & music as well!
+Gabul4 the most brutal scenes of the game are omitted from this video - those would be the death scenes of the protagonist
This game has a pretty good soundtrack.
A dark priest that used a evil potion so much that he become a assassin plant that eat locals. That can be a good book!
Part of me wants to play this game again. The other part of me doesn't hate myself.
is it a bad game?
@@mr.4096 no it's just terrifying
@@mr.4096 It is hard as hell
@@mr.4096 it’s not hard, the death scenes are just fucking horrifying, like the zombie one
I swear this game's zombies are the most gruesome depiction of such creatures I've ever seen. :S
Rottytops, Hsien-Ko, and Squigly these are not.
21:51 Battle with Jack the Ripper
1:17:21 Battle with Pharaoh
1:37:37 Battle with Mutation
and don't forget vladimir the weakest character of the whole game
+naujogeid 2002 vladimir was the easiest. just one click and he's dead. lol what a loser, while the pyramid one is pretty hard.

38:55 FINISH HIM! /// 39:03 Good Twin Wins - BABALITY
xD Nasty one. :-)
@Dakota Foxloon Nah, just a Mortal Kombat reference.
b à bœy
How did I fall asleep to a playthrough of this?!
You know, they don't make games this good anymore. I mean of course better graphics are bomb its just this game feels a lot more suspenseful than any game I had played for this generation. Your guys's thoughts?
Personally, I think that the limits placed on both the graphics and music make the game all the more creepier. The jerky, unnatural way that the enemies move toward you, the chiptune sounds evoke a different kind of terror then full quality music would, and then there's the uncanny detail of all the death scenes. And then there's the difficulty, meaning that the suspense is actually fitting of the game. Oh yeah, this game is gleefully sadistic.
MarioPawner Yeah, even for games of that era, this game beats them in atmosphere, sure, Mortal Kombat had tons of gore and blood, but that thing quickly turned into comedic material at the time, you can't say the same about that horrible death by zombie
*cough*rose-tinted nostalgia glasses*cough*
For horror yeah games this generation just isn't scary anymore. Visual horror has always been better than jump scares
just started playing this game last week, good lords it's terrifying; though the combat is absolute sh*t
10:11 "Plums Fart Pills" WTF :D
leoruoska Beat me to it.
+leoruoska The real question is, why is Charles Darwin on the poster?
I love how cinematic they used to make some of the B-license games on Amiga...'It came from the Desert' and more
Nice effect with the moon in Jack the Ripper's story. If you look closely at it, you can make out a skull.
Ty for the longplay, though i would love that you stoped just a litte to observe some of the most stunning graphics (like the pharmacy). More than one i needed to go back on the video so i can pause and admire the game. The maze walls are all the same!
Best regards from Argentina
Perhaps the Egyptian brother had a descendant who moved to Rome for whatever reason (maybe he was part of a merchant caravan), settled down and had a son who became a legionary and was posted to Britain, then the legionary settled down there when the Empire pulled out of the island and his family persisted through the time of the zombie-infested cemetery into the Victorian era?
As for the witch's spell, who says magic has to be bound by the constraints of linear time?
Actually, the two original egyptian twins had been cursed, then the witch called on that curse to be restored for eternity. That's the explanation, nobody seems to know it even though it's mentionned both in-game and in the letter you receive with it!
*makes sense.

OHHHH Such pleasure to have this. Ive played this game, enjoyed so much alone and friends. We shared save game disckettes so we do the same and best goes on. Cool pretty cool. The 4 plataforms that was awesome. Great story. Trycky and good level of difficult. Really loved it. But MY real game was Elvira II the jaws of cerberus. Number 1
You know... I've tried to play through this game. I've made great progress in the cemetary. Screw every other level though, especially the mine >:C
This game used to scare the crap out of me, although I was only 11 when I played it :)
I never really knew what I was doing though. It seems a pretty hard (puzzle-wise) game.
If you stand around in the hub idle, the butler shoves you towards the nearest waxwork one space at a time. If youre in front of it, he yeets you into the level
Horrorsoft maded a lot of creepy but hard to understand games. I always was thinking if there was a person who played those games without a walktrough.
What a game! I SO want to play it,I just love mystery games like this,but Amiga...pretty sure I ain't gonna have it any time soon.
The witch takes places presumably during the Middle Ages, so how does the Egyptian evil twin come into place since that’s before the Middle Ages?
Her curse was so powerful, it affected the protags ancestors in the past too.
He was already evil and that seed of evil was used in the curse many years later.
@@NoBandwidth-0loophole
I hated this game and now I like it
Awesome horror game, much in the vein of Elvira. The variety in levels was a nice quality of this game as was the cracking gory graphics and eerie sounds. Nice all rounder although the disk swapping could be a pain.
I know the phrase "To steal a girl's heart" but this is ridiculous.
@ Fábio Batista and everyone: I think we've had it wrong. According to what I've read, it wasn't the twin that the brother saw turn into a demon. He said the "man" did, as in the man who chopped off her hand in the first place. Basically, you stopped her from pronouncing the curse of twins, but apparently she got off a different spell right at the end. This was supposed to hint at a possible sequel, but one I haven't found. You were in fact the good twin, trying to save your brother from the curse.
There is a piece of backstory that was included with the game, detailing the events of the uncle's funeral and the evil twin's disappearance. The good twin got the waxworks and his uncle's plea to save the family. He was gonna ignore it out of fear until he remembered seeing his brother underground. He went into the mines and saw fish bones and footprints of cloven feet. He then traveled to the waxworks and sat in the parking lot until he worked up the courage to go to the front door, leading to the beginning of the game. At no point does it state, "oh yeah then the good twin got knocked out and the evil twin went to the entrance to the waxworks".
I know user-edited sites like TVtropes make it a point to say "Tomato in the mirror", but it doesn't make an ounce of sense to me. All of the bad guys in the game are evil beyond reason, so I don't see how this generation's evil twin would have been different. If it is a plot twist, it'd be like having a plot twist just for the sake of having a plot twist.
I always found this game absolutely terrifying. kind of feel like playing again now.
It's taken me some courage to even think about watching or playing this game. :)
shoutouts to whoever watched the whole vid lol
I´ve blocked out the horror movie Waxwork (becuse I´ve watched it as a bet in 8 years - which was terrible mistakes, becuse I didn´t know the concept of horror movies), but now I can´t appreciate enough how the game and movie are alike - they don´t copy, but very similiar and "live" their own life. For example the front cover. VERY similiar, yet both are unique. Thanks, Horrorsoft, for those sleepless nights! (without walkthrough).
4:33 *See the people* NOPE!
+Ivan Di clemente Haha, as a kid that would have scared the crap outta me.
i always lost my shit when i saw that.
Had I played this game, the London level probably would've been Hell for me, with the angry mob and the lone policeman walking around.
A fun fact - there is this movie, "Murder by Decree", in which Sherlock Holmes is trying to solve Jack the Ripper case. Guess this must be in part what they're referencing here.
@fabiocarl740 If I had to guess, it would be to gain the evil twin's artifacts in order to defeat the witch and put a stop to the curse before it affects him.
49:47 can anyone explain to me how this is the solution to this puzzle?
Follow the lines of the star. Each individual line has 4 numbers, including the tumblers, and they all have to equal 20 exactly when the four numbers are added up.
AhstTraotee wow cool. Thanks!
Oh Gawd no.... This game used to make me cry!!! I was little :D
wow this is so confusing navigating around but you do it so good... Great Job!
The music in this version of the game is far better than the DOS version. How did you get this footage? Which emulator?
Anyone else really digging (haha yeah I get it) the music that plays in the mines? Especially when that percussion track hits.
Okay, TBH, I’m impressed by the quality of music compared to the downgraded version I’ve seen from the Waxworks Deaths vid. I wonder, are there versions of this game or it depends on the Amiga consoles you’re using. 🤔 Just wondering since I’m still learning about obscure retro consoles. Also, I have to admit, Amiga has a few good choices like this game and the Elvira series. Point and click dungeon crawler ain’t my thing, but dark and graphic content is my thing in gaming genre. Also, I like how the Amiga manages create stunning visuals with such old technology. ^.^
Yes, there were two versions of this game, a DOS version made for low end computers and an Amiga version which was meant for the more high end desktops.
26:15 That's how you steal a girl's heart.... literally
So, if the evil twin was always defeated, why does the main character has to go back and destroy them again? Is it because, after defeating them, the main character won't fall to the corruption of the items required to kill the witch? Also, i don't get it: in the end, the brother is revived and he says what he dreamed. We can imagine that the main character is the evil twin. If that is so, why did he do all that? Why didn't he use the Waxworks for evil, for example?
I'm going to make an Adventure/RPG in this vein. These games are the shit.
38:55 - Poke of DOOM!
Which turns a powerful, evil necromancer into an adorable baby.
Which makes that baby get eaten by zombies.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
boop
@xlaxformax Wrong. The guy in the coffin said he could see your body was that of the fifth, but the spirit inside was that of the last. He also said each twin is the reincarnation of the same person, as if the struggle keeps repeating itself. And the reason the waxworks plaques always said the evil twin was defeated was because you were SUPPOSED to go back and do it, as if it were fated to happen. And being the "evil" twin may have just been a plot twist for the very end.
The animations for the zombies are incredible.
Wow, I didnt know there is also game. Movie Waxworks(1988) by Hickox is one of my favourite movies.
Same name but they are not related as far as i know

5:30 that was intense....
One of the best!!!!!!!
I completely agree. Games today somehow lack the fun of the old classics. Some people don´t even know what Pac Man is... It´s a real pitty.
The jack the ripper one was impossible. back then when I played this there was not internet and the only magazine with tips didn't help at all on that level.
Jesus! You gradually killed an old lady! You should have just let her steal the chicken!!
It came out in 1992 and the game was distributed on 10 880Kb floppy disks. The player had the choices of playing the game straight from the floppy disks or installing it on HD.
Do you mean the bit where he's asked for a ticket? It's an old method of copy protection that involved asking you for information from the manual (or some other supplement) to verify that you'd actually bought the game. Not particularly effective, but certainly friendlier than what's complained about in ways of DRM these days.
I didn't think it was that bad, until I saw a video with every death scene. Lost my lunch for a minute....lol
@xlaxformax But, actually, if you die after you enter the witch waxwork, the game will say something like "You were not able to break the curse. Now it will affect every generation in your family that is unfortunate to bear twins.". So, in that sense, i don't think the curse goes until the fifth, i think it affects all the twins in all generations. And, if you see, in the final, Alex says he dreamed about what happened and that he saw a demon in front of the witch, which makes me believe...
the sound from 1:20 was used in higher quality in Homam3 when the units has a low morale :)
Pretty cool game, Awesome history!
Good game to play at night if you want a thrilling, scary and edgy game to play.
anyone else find it ironic that you are killing the brothers of different timelines to save your brother?
If you jump into the witch waxwork early you get an instant gameover since you need the four artifacts from the four evil twins to kill her AND in order to USE said artifacts without getting infected by their evil magic you need to kill all four evil twins in each waxwork.
Of course, the twist is that the evil one wasn't Alex!
KONO OMAE DA!

С душой игры раньше делали... почему я не жил в те времена, когда игры на платформу DOS пользовались большим спросом?..
Here's a chilling thought: you're assisted in this game by your uncle, who is no doubt the brother of your father. But as we know, one of any pair of twin brothers in this family is witch-cursed to be a thrall to darkness, and your uncle seems to be on the level, so what if... your father is EVIL?! *dun dun duunnnn!*
Or maybe they were born separately, who knows? Good game either way!
I thought about that separately from you but I would also add that uncle Boris is 4-th good twin and you get to play your uncle when you play Mines stage
@@shashkovaevg Uncle Boris isn't the 4th good twin, you see the 4th corpse in the graveyard level. But... Wait... I've never thought of it, but it might actually be Uncle Boris in the mine level. And maybe his twin is not the protagonist's father(Why wouldn't they be three sons?). Oh... That explains so much! Like, how could a vial of the potion have been preserved? This is the best theory ever, I'm conviced by it!
EDIT: Wait, actually, Boris is the brother of your mother! In his letter, he says "My Dear Sister's Child". But he might be one of the twins anyway.
