Fun fact, in one version of the second game, instead of throwing himself off the roof, Goldman pulls a ‘I have to go now, my planet needs me.’ And flies up
@@fireblast133 There are multiple ending if you play as original mode (the mode that let you pick bonus if I remember the name correctly). I remember an ending where Goldman jump off the roof then a big ass explosion happens and another ending where Goldman jump off then bungee back to the roof lmao
@Charlie Vetsworth how about you stop calling a country a "ameritard" and just use google or a calculator to translate that to the metric units like everyone else
"I am X! I am everything, I am nothing. The universe started with me and ended with me. Mankind's rule is at end. I shall destroy all the living. Eternity is waiting!" 5 mins later: *Dies by a handgun*
"Life is a delicate performance, in which we are but actors. Yet, we now pose an existential threat to life. This must be corrected. That's why I'm cloning ninja zombies with claw-hands that wear little suits and fedoras."
I was known back then in my local arcade for beating the game with one token. How'd I did this? Well the arcade cabinet of our House of the Dead (1 , 2 , and 3) can be wired and those times security cams weren't good to be depended on. Since the thing below the box can be opened (because of it not having a lock) and you can just open the thing and just keep putting the token and take it back by that process. Damn those were times I literally was ripping off the place but they didn't cared about it tho for some reason even if tho I got caught like 5 times. They're still running until now.
@Stefano Pavone You could do the same trick with a fishing wire . If you folded the edge correctly you could insert it in the coin slot and get infinite tokens. Though you had to be discreet in order not to get caught. Eg if the mal owner saw 99 credits you were screwed.
When I was a kid my parents split up, so when I would go see my father he would take me to the movie theater's which had a arcade inside. Our favorite game was House of the Dead 2.
MrRazmon Nah it’s even more schizophrenic. You can only get it if you didn’t use any continues but didn’t score high enough. So, paradoxically, you need to be really good to get the bad ending.
I remember like 20 people crowding around two teenagers who made it to the last level of House of the Dead 4 and everyone was watching in amazement because nobody had ever made it that far. It was beautiful, like a once in a lifetime event lol
That was me a couple times. But then I ran out of money and nobody wanted to loan me. They wanted my spot which was lame. One time I had enough and dual gunned my way through half before ppl got mad and I let some random guy play with me
House of the Dead 3 was one of my favorite arcade games to play back then. I got so good at the game that I managed to complete the whole game with one coin. I still remember the crowd of people standing behind me being absolutely bewildered. My hands were sweaty and my finger got blisters from shooting so fast. I developed a technique to use two fingers to shoot really fast. It was basically a machine gun at that point, not a shotgun. Really fun game but really freaking hard.
I beat the first game back in 1999 with just under $5 at a local arcade. I was a sweaty mess, my body hurt and my eyes ached but I felt accomplished. Never played another light gun game after that but it left me with great memories! Great content. Keep at it.
I played the crap out of House of The Dead 2 on the Dreamcast when I was 8yrs old. Was one of my favorite Dreamcast games and I still feel obligated to sacrifice a couple coins whenever I see one of the arcade cabinet versions. It's been awhile but I think House of The Dead 2 also had branching paths and where you went depended on who you saved or how well you did. I might not remember it correctly cuz it was 20yrs ago.
Remember the secure feeling of having a ton of quarters on you when your parents dropped you off at the mall or movie theater??? Probably spent a couple hundred bucks in the late 90's - early 2000's on these arcades. There was a decent Star Trek one too wherein whenever you had to reload it would say "REMODULATE".
Parents now a days will never be able to feel the joy of dropping their kid off at the arcade and having a few hours of relaxation.. Not that they arent trying, letting the internet raise their kids and so on.
Alot of people here in Australia pronounce it that way. I know I did as a kid, until I 1st saw the bit in sonic 3 where it Sega "SAY GAH" and since then I've said it that way. And yeah, I kinda still cringe when I hear other Aussies say it "see gah" >.
It's like how some Americans pronounce it as 'Seh Gah'. Everyone has heard the word pronounced in various Sega games, and yet they still don't pronounce it correctly. It baffles the mind.
I've managed to flawless the Empress in House of the Dead 4. The key is to remember that only the head takes damage so you need to make sure you aren't wasting your ammo with body shots when she is above or on the side of the train. The blue reticle on the monochromatic blue model kinda makes it harder to see where her actual hurtbox is so it's really easy to waste ammo with body shots without even realizing it. She follows the same route and attack pattern each time though so with some memorization you should be able to lead your shots when she goes behind one of the doors which blocks her hitbox and hit her as she becomes vulnerable again instead of wasting ammo and not having enough time to reload.
I almost cried when you talked so much good stuff about hotd 1 and 2. I grew up by playing those. These 2 were and still are my fav arcade games. Thank you.
I remember playing The House of the Dead 2 with my dad on the Dreamcast, along with the weird gun (actually not the one you showed, I had a different one). It was a pretty wild game By the way at 14:35 - I'm pretty sure Judgement also has a weak spot in that tiny hole in his armour, just above his waist
I used to play House of the Dead because I only had that game for a whole year and my god, it was so much fun. I had forgotten everything about it but just watching these few clips were enough to bring back the great memories. Goddamn, being a kid is truly the pinnacle in a man's life.
Yeah,kinda whack by time you realize being a kid is the greatest it's over and your life turns into some bullshit tv show on repeat dealing with people you hate.
I had this weird version where you had to type words to kill them I also had the normal version with this cool light gun and this weird memory card that was like a mini Gameboy that slotted into the light gun. Good Times
House of the Dead 2 experts, did I miss something when they obveously start in Venice, then proceed to the Colloseum? Like in Rome? Isnt that a 6 hour drive on a good day?
I remember playing these games a lot as roller rinks when I was a kid, me and my friend would play it every time we went and we spent all of our tokens to beat it
It was pretty cool how the arcade cabinets for 1 - 4 had different gun plastic models (with reload options) modeling the weapons used ingame, HOTD1 had a small pistol, HOTD2 had a bigger pistol closer to a revolver, HOTD3 had the pump shotgun and HOTD4 had the Uzi/Ingram type gun.
I remember playing an original HOTD3 cabinet, and you actually had to reload it; rather than pointing outside the screen, like the last games, you had to pull back the handle. It was really unique, and I personally have never seen anything like that in any other arcade cabinet.
Seeing how you talked about House of the Dead, I think it's only fair to cover the other well known *Or rather lesser* rail shooters like TIme Crisis, Ninja Assault and Vampire Night. Edit: Bonus points if you mention the Jurassic Park arcade rail shooters too.
Yes! Someone else that actually knows Ninja Assault and Vampire Night! Two of Namco’s most underrated series. I love Time Crisis as well. 2 is my favorite of that series
A shame it hasn't been ported out, because Scarlet Dawn is actually super fun in the arcade cabinet. Introduces new weapons you have limited ammo for at the start of each stage and can switch out to at any time.
15:35 actually if you're doing really well in the game and you haven't taken damage in a while, the Tower will start attacking with 2 heads at a time. The Magician increases in difficulty if you're doing well too, getting faster and faster and once his little after-image movements glow white instead of red then you know he's at max speed and "I want you to put more money in."-mode.
"I'll probably do a video on House of the Dead Overkill in the future." That's got me veeeeery interested. The game's dialogue hit me like an ice cream truck barreling down the road.
I remember back when I was a young tween a Friend and I had a blast playing House of the Dead 4 in an arcade. We ended up spending about $50 and made it all the way to about the 4th level. It may not have been the greatest game in the series but that was one memory I'm not going to forget anytime soon.
Patali while I agree with Goldman trying to restore the "Life Cylce", but turning everyone or creating a genetically biohazard hostile creatures/mutants(or in this case, zombies) isnt really helping the eco system. But hey, its just a video game
Having recently watched JoJo's, I can't help but notice how similar The Lovers look in this game compared to Araki's rendition. Also, Chariot seems ridiculously similar as well - right down to losing their armour. I'm not going crazy, am I?
the first house of the dead was literally my childhood, I remember playing it in secret on my parents shitty computer and finishing it over and over again. The different sound effects and voice lines are forever imbedded into my mind.
The OG 1996 game will still be my most fav, will never forget Hangedman's iconic sinister "nobody leaves here alive" line as he takes away Sophie and his batty giant vampire like figure, ability to commands bats to attack you, nearly throwing you down from the roof and throwing two scientists to their deaths cold heartedly and the mansion itself the blood near the entrance, a true horror game gem! With the music off its even scarier the zombie sounds, machine sounds, death sounds and more all more sinister and horror vibe.
I just love how the graphics looks for HoTD 1 and 2... The arcade versions, that is. It's that transition between high quality ps1-like looks to the ps2, and I just love it.
It's.... it's okay man, it's a reversible condition... just listen to Pink Floyd and Godspeed You Black Emperor enough and the wallet chain will go away naturally over time
I remember when Sega Gameworks still existed and me and my buddy beat HOTD 2 opening dayh in one go with only like 8 lives each. We had a crowd around us by the end and yes, people did applaud when we finally beat it. I fucking miss OG arcades, why did Sega have to fuck up so hard...
@@jefftakesdscakes30 They shut down all the Gameworks arcades in the late 2000's. They should have at least kept open the ones in New York, LA, Philly, and Orlando.
If anybody has the chance to play House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn do it, the game is super fun in arcade and it is as violent if not even more than previous games, you are set against bigger hordes compared to previous HOTD, and you have to mow them down with machine guns and rocket launchers. Good times.
I remember back when I was in elementary school (3th and 4th grade) my mother would go to the mall every Saturday and I would go with her. I would save up all my quarters and we would go to the arcade in the mall and we would play these shooting games together. Our favorites were Area 51, Aliens 3, and this one. Good times. Was something magical about going to the arcade.
It's so great to see this series being talked about today. Such a fun game this is. Also, Sega needs to stop playing around and give us what we really want. An ACTUAL good remaster of HOTD1 for the PC with online co-op.
I actually played the third one on arcade, and while it was wasn't easy it was rare to see a shotgun shooter in an arcade, and let me tell you reloading with a working pump action on the gun was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I have ever encountered.
My favorite light gun series , a mix of virtua cop and an Italian zombie movie. My favorites are 2 and 3. I have the Wii port of 2 and 3 , it's a great port. Love these games
I remember like it was today the place where my parents used to go on vacation when I was 12 and that little obscure bar that had this game in its corner. I used to spend half my days there playing that game and was quickly able to beat it with one coin only. I became so well known for that that there was an audience of 9-12 kids and teens around me watching how I played and finished the game with that one coin. Oh the good times and epic game :D
I remember being a kid looking for all the emulators of these shooters. Took me a while but now I can *somewhat* play HoTD4 on PC, which brought a tear to my eyes
Theres a reason for all the flashes. The technology that lightgun games used on old style crt TVs used the flash to determine where the point was. Was part of all lightgun games that used old tvs
as a really young kid I remember playing HoTD 4 at an arcade and I can't believe this game actually has a series with an actual story, though I was too young to make it to one boss
Just a note here regarding the reference to Shatner and Flying High. Flying High was the AU and NZ title of Airplane! In the context of the video it refers to Airplane II: The Sequel. That should make it easier to find
Those were two of my favorite Arcades....mainly because I could actually make some headway in them. Both HoTD and Area51 are way easier than their sequels and thus, I could get a lot more enjoyment per quarter.
Area 51! In elementary school my mom and I would go to the arcade in the mall almost every Saturday and that's the one we played the most (in addition to Aliens 3 and the game in the video). "Entering hanger sector 1-8." "Check your targets people." "We-we-we we copy!" "RELOAD. RELOAD."
We didnt have a curtain around the arcade machine in north america, we just played that ish raw. This is a classic tho have many memories and lost tokens playing dis
House Of The Dead 2 & 3 on the Wii was actually my introduction to the series. The difference between these versions, aside from how you aim, is the amount of extra content outside the main game, I think. 2 has two challenge modes. One tests certain aspects of your shooting abilities at three different difficulties each, and the other is a time attack against bosses. On top o' that, there's two ways to play the main game. Arcade is just the main game as is, but Original Mode lets you equip all sorts of different bonuses and extras such as a larger magazine, damages booster, shoot the UFO, and even weapons like a double-barrel shotgun, grenade launcher, and a bass lure launcher. 3 has only two unlockable main game modes, but they make the game way more replayable: Time attack takes you through the whole on a short time limit, but you can increase it by playing skillfully and hunting for bonuses, and Extreme mode locks you in solo, makes enemies tougher, and your shotgun is essentially a rifle now (in other words, AIM CAREFULLY), but it gives you a faster reload, and a melee attack.
Also the second game, in stage 2 and 3, has different boss arenas depending on your actions. Also a cool fact about stage 3. Depending on what arena you fight in stage 2 you actually go backwards in stage 3 from that arena. For example; You fight stage 2 boss on the actual bridge (A path) you end up by the wooden bridge and fight the stage 3 boss. If you fight on the wooden bridge (B path) you will end up near Sunset bridge for the boss fight for stage 3. Stage 4 has 2 different starting areas as well depending on the path you take in stage 3.

Yeah, man! I used to play all these games on arcade. Old good memories.
The voice acting of the sequel never gets old lmaoo
Especially Goldman. I've seen his infamous "this is the final battle" scene almost a dozen times and I've burst out laughing every time
Suffer like g did?
@@wentoneisendon6502 That's the one! lol
hurry friends
James. Go and prevent the confusion in the city.
A shame it hasn't been ported out, because Scarlet Dawn is actually super fun in the arcade cabinet. Introduces new weapons you have limited ammo for at the start of each stage and can switch out to at any time.
The thing is SD is too short. I like the art style though
Then you got the final boss named "the world"
me playing the game: yare yare daze
Za warudo has no weakness
Sadly, the emperor in house of the dead wasn’t Hol Horse
the final boss being named "the world" is so "we live in a society" lmao
It's pretty funny that the first handful of bosses are all the Tarots associated with JoJo's, Chariot, Hermit, Magician and Hierophant lmao
JOJO REFERENCE
15:35 actually if you're doing really well in the game and you haven't taken damage in a while, the Tower will start attacking with 2 heads at a time. The Magician increases in difficulty if you're doing well too, getting faster and faster and once his little after-image movements glow white instead of red then you know he's at max speed and "I want you to put more money in."-mode.
That Explains Why He Wasnt Going Red Or Blue When He Moved
"I'll probably do a video on House of the Dead Overkill in the future."
That's got me veeeeery interested. The game's dialogue hit me like an ice cream truck barreling down the road.
Overkill reminds me of Zombieland
I remember back when I was a young tween a Friend and I had a blast playing House of the Dead 4 in an arcade. We ended up spending about $50 and made it all the way to about the 4th level. It may not have been the greatest game in the series but that was one memory I'm not going to forget anytime soon.
"You almost feel like you could have an epileptic seizure sometimes."
Gee, I wonder why that is.
Audixas yeah man should’ve put up a warning for this one, folks could definitely start floor dancing from this video.
You can turn that off though.
House of the Dead 3 will always hold a special place in my heart, since I played that on the Wii with my parents, when I was young.
My favorite line from HOTD 2's on the last level: "It's like they're inviting me in!"
Goldman is simultaneously the most heinous, yet the most relatable villain in gaming history, if not all of fiction
Patali while I agree with Goldman trying to restore the "Life Cylce", but turning everyone or creating a genetically biohazard hostile creatures/mutants(or in this case, zombies) isnt really helping the eco system. But hey, its just a video game
@@Somespideronline wrong. You know nothing of the loife cycle
@@Palendrome yeah so relatable dr connors from the amazing spider-man did the same thing
@@Somespideronline kinda uninspired tbh
@@jefftakesdscakes30 exactly lol
Having recently watched JoJo's, I can't help but notice how similar The Lovers look in this game compared to Araki's rendition. Also, Chariot seems ridiculously similar as well - right down to losing their armour.
I'm not going crazy, am I?
There are plenty of japanese games with references to jojo so it's pretty possible that might be the actual intent
João Loução or Jojo referencing them.
Is ThAT a JoJo REfEreNce?!
Araki Gets
I mean, all of the bosses in the game are based on the tarot cards, which also were stands are based on
This game was so good. I miss the old ones.
But my preferred arcade shooter was Lost World Jurassic Park
That was great too, except when some nuggets would sling globs of shit at you as projectiles; dunno why that fucked me up
15:45 that is also the same sound effect used when defeating the Booma, Gobooma, and Gigobooma in Phantasy Star Online.
I did had an epileptic seizure thanks to this game and you know what? I REGRET NOTHING!
"dogs of the ams, TIMETHEYMADEAMOVE"
Used to play this at the Arcade, it's cool you reviewing it. Now I'm going to watch the video, thanks for the video
the first house of the dead was literally my childhood, I remember playing it in secret on my parents shitty computer and finishing it over and over again. The different sound effects and voice lines are forever imbedded into my mind.
The OG 1996 game will still be my most fav, will never forget Hangedman's iconic sinister "nobody leaves here alive" line as he takes away Sophie and his batty giant vampire like figure, ability to commands bats to attack you, nearly throwing you down from the roof and throwing two scientists to their deaths cold heartedly and the mansion itself the blood near the entrance, a true horror game gem! With the music off its even scarier the zombie sounds, machine sounds, death sounds and more all more sinister and horror vibe.
I just love how the graphics looks for HoTD 1 and 2...
The arcade versions, that is.
It's that transition between high quality ps1-like looks to the ps2, and I just love it.
“like simps materializing to defend their favourite camgirl.” 💀
"Schwacked"

@@Zombie1Boy absolutely
20:45 wait
I listened to Limp Bizkit
i still have a wallet chain
oh god...
D: oh no!
You better not smoke Winfield Reds...
Hes using sick in a good way lmaoo
It's.... it's okay man, it's a reversible condition... just listen to Pink Floyd and Godspeed You Black Emperor enough and the wallet chain will go away naturally over time
where's Overkill & Scarlet ? Scarlet has a wind blower to your face to simulate 4D and runs on Unreal 4 it's neat !
Overkill was not a arcade game,its a console game
@@oreofoxgamerx6028 yeah but overkill was still very good. Also kinda disappointed that he didn’t talk about scarlet.
There was never any black curtain around this machine here in the US; at any arcade I ever went to. It was there for all to see.
House Of The Dead 2 felt like a massive step up, especially if you managed to get 2&3 on the Wii..
I remember when Sega Gameworks still existed and me and my buddy beat HOTD 2 opening dayh in one go with only like 8 lives each.
We had a crowd around us by the end and yes, people did applaud when we finally beat it.
I fucking miss OG arcades, why did Sega have to fuck up so hard...
damn, that feeling must be amazing, nothing feels like flexing your skills on strangers in person
Wdym screw up
@@jefftakesdscakes30 They shut down all the Gameworks arcades in the late 2000's. They should have at least kept open the ones in New York, LA, Philly, and Orlando.
If anybody has the chance to play House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn do it, the game is super fun in arcade and it is as violent if not even more than previous games, you are set against bigger hordes compared to previous HOTD, and you have to mow them down with machine guns and rocket launchers. Good times.
I had a chance to do so in Florida a couple of months ago, but ended up passing on it. I regret not playing it :(
wish they would release it as a playstation vr game
shutcho goofy ass! its even worse than overkill even if it got some of the best graphics ever
arcades are basically all gone here, so... gonna wait for that crappy conversion, I guess...
"Joey Jones or Robbie Robinson"
What about Joey Jojo Jr Shabadoo?
Hey! It's Joey Jojo!
GOODBYE JOJO
J-JOJO?!
The 9th jojo revealed
15:51 Damn that was Roar from 1970s King Kong! What a Memory!
I remember back when I was in elementary school (3th and 4th grade) my mother would go to the mall every Saturday and I would go with her. I would save up all my quarters and we would go to the arcade in the mall and we would play these shooting games together. Our favorites were Area 51, Aliens 3, and this one.
Good times. Was something magical about going to the arcade.
16:57 "Flying High"? We know it as "Airplane!" in the States.
It's so great to see this series being talked about today. Such a fun game this is.
Also, Sega needs to stop playing around and give us what we really want. An ACTUAL good remaster of HOTD1 for the PC with online co-op.
Holy smokes you brought up The Secret World of Alex Mack..where's the youtube love button....dammit
what really spooked me with those freddy looking zombies is when before they appear a toddler’s voice can be heard whispering in the background
I actually played the third one on arcade, and while it was wasn't easy it was rare to see a shotgun shooter in an arcade, and let me tell you reloading with a working pump action on the gun was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I have ever encountered.
Typing of the dead was my jam!
Genuinely helped me become a better typist
same here, man ...
My favorite light gun series , a mix of virtua cop and an Italian zombie movie. My favorites are 2 and 3. I have the Wii port of 2 and 3 , it's a great port. Love these games
Same, right up with Time Crisis. Most favorite is 1 though I'd love to give 2 another chance again.
The wii port is great, has a lot of extra challenges. Cool bonus.
I remember like it was today the place where my parents used to go on vacation when I was 12 and that little obscure bar that had this game in its corner. I used to spend half my days there playing that game and was quickly able to beat it with one coin only. I became so well known for that that there was an audience of 9-12 kids and teens around me watching how I played and finished the game with that one coin. Oh the good times and epic game :D
9:10 That's just the sound of everyone waking up in the morning, getting out of bed and stretching their arms back.
I remember being a kid looking for all the emulators of these shooters. Took me a while but now I can *somewhat* play HoTD4 on PC, which brought a tear to my eyes
The fedora bit gave me a good laugh
This series gave me my first nightmares as a kid lmao
Same here it was always the zombies with open shirts I’d have nightmares of
Honestly should've had an epilepsy warning for some parts of this video.
Yeah i agree. Its night over here and it fucking blinded
@@riykin Yep, it's night for me too and it blinded me. Good thing I'm not affected by epilepsy.
Yeah sorry about that. I added it to the description, hope that helps. That's my bad, I didn't pick up on it.
Theres a reason for all the flashes. The technology that lightgun games used on old style crt TVs used the flash to determine where the point was.
Was part of all lightgun games that used old tvs
@@kingsouther Yeah, I'm fully aware.
as a really young kid I remember playing HoTD 4 at an arcade and I can't believe this game actually has a series with an actual story, though I was too young to make it to one boss
Just a note here regarding the reference to Shatner and Flying High.
Flying High was the AU and NZ title of Airplane!
In the context of the video it refers to Airplane II: The Sequel.
That should make it easier to find
Did he say a “fleshlight” zombie?
Mind that he won’t cease in saying “blaod”
We all heard it.
He could have meant Flashlight zombie ?
😂😂😂😂
i remember playing the hell out of this one and "Area 51" good times..
Those were two of my favorite Arcades....mainly because I could actually make some headway in them. Both HoTD and Area51 are way easier than their sequels and thus, I could get a lot more enjoyment per quarter.
Area 51! In elementary school my mom and I would go to the arcade in the mall almost every Saturday and that's the one we played the most (in addition to Aliens 3 and the game in the video).
"Entering hanger sector 1-8." "Check your targets people." "We-we-we we copy!"
"RELOAD. RELOAD."
One time at a friend's birthday all the machines were free. So me and a friend beat Area 51. It was epic
We didnt have a curtain around the arcade machine in north america, we just played that ish raw.
This is a classic tho have many memories and lost tokens playing dis
Neither did we in sweden. Loved these games as a kid!
I use to play this with my dad when I was 6-8 years old.
Genuinely expected the Seinfeld baseline to play with that zoom in at 14:55
The "r-re-re-re-r-re-relo-re-reload" was the soundtrack to me.
Me: looks at house of the dead 1 last week.
Gman lives: post a video about house of the dead
“I’ve been waiting for you, friends”
I remember playing house of the dead 3 in the bowling alleys arcade with my mum when I was like 6?
Good times
I find it genuinely amusing that as the presentation for this series got better, the boss design and enemy variety got worse
House Of The Dead 2 & 3 on the Wii was actually my introduction to the series. The difference between these versions, aside from how you aim, is the amount of extra content outside the main game, I think.
2 has two challenge modes. One tests certain aspects of your shooting abilities at three different difficulties each, and the other is a time attack against bosses. On top o' that, there's two ways to play the main game. Arcade is just the main game as is, but Original Mode lets you equip all sorts of different bonuses and extras such as a larger magazine, damages booster, shoot the UFO, and even weapons like a double-barrel shotgun, grenade launcher, and a bass lure launcher.
3 has only two unlockable main game modes, but they make the game way more replayable: Time attack takes you through the whole on a short time limit, but you can increase it by playing skillfully and hunting for bonuses, and Extreme mode locks you in solo, makes enemies tougher, and your shotgun is essentially a rifle now (in other words, AIM CAREFULLY), but it gives you a faster reload, and a melee attack.
Random dude in Venice: I ran from the colosseum. Y'know, the one in Rome, over 500 km away from here.
My parents never let me put in another pound if I died, so I was pretty bummed out when I did. At least they stopped me from wasting their money
God that intro was magnificent
Also the second game, in stage 2 and 3, has different boss arenas depending on your actions. Also a cool fact about stage 3. Depending on what arena you fight in stage 2 you actually go backwards in stage 3 from that arena. For example; You fight stage 2 boss on the actual bridge (A path) you end up by the wooden bridge and fight the stage 3 boss. If you fight on the wooden bridge (B path) you will end up near Sunset bridge for the boss fight for stage 3. Stage 4 has 2 different starting areas as well depending on the path you take in stage 3.
