Well, now you're here, there's no way back

Golden Axe Warrior (1991) | action RPG | Sega Master System | Sega

Sega took a stab at Zelda-like action and adventure with an unexpected expansion of Golden Axe's hack 'n slash world from the arcade, adapting it into a top-down experience with NPCs, shops, dungeon bosses, and even fresh lore!

- The daily video game history fact -

Driver (1999)’s structure directly influenced later 3D open-world action games, with missions scattered across a massive city, a cinematic presentation, and a focus on criminal themes.

"Then earth and fire and air and watery rage
Then tree and flesh and stone did understand
And know the law of Magister, shaman and sage
Lord of the Old Time, ruler over beast and man."

Castle Master has some deep lore written fully in verse by the odd and enigmatic Mel Croucher (often best know for the 1984 Deus Ex Machine), talking of ancient times in England where the omnipotent Magister ruled over everything, then the rise of mankind and their many civilizations that never last, and the Normans who built a mighty structure named Castle Eternity, made out of the very rock and soil that is the epicenter of the Magister's power while he slept for centuries and, after waking up, unleashing his magical fury and turning the king and all subjects into ghosts and beasts to haunt the halls of the castle.

You choose your character, a prince or princess, as your sibling is imprisoned in Castle Eternity and your first task is to figure out how the hell you're supposed to enter the castle and avoid the deep moat with no more than a shark swimming in it!

Entering one of the huts full of hay bales, a pitchfork and a spirit in the form of a cute black bat with triangular red eyes.

The earth shakes (or perhaps that's just you) when you encounter one of the inhabitants turned ghost and critter by the Magister with the message "SPIRITS!!" shown in the bottom part of the screen, and the only way to be victorious is to sling a rock with your slingshot at the spirits, probably because they're just not used to the idea and just flee.

Outside the castle is the Wizard's Hut, the home of a dirty and smelly old wizard that everyone ridiculed but in eventually learned was the Magister himself, risen back from his slumber.

We see a the lowest of polygons (this game has very primitive but charming graphics) with a table and a chair with a six-pronged star and some cheese on the table.

Let me tell ya, this game has A LOT of cheese to much on throughout the castle.

The castle stables, with a beautiful pinkish-red horse made out of like ten polygons, being a good boye.

You open the gate of the stable so the horse can go free if it wants, but it kinda just looks like it wants some food and a pat on the head.

You knew you were about to experience one heck of a game when the title screen showed corpses on the floor :Metroid:

The atmosphere in this game is still incredible after 32 years.
