Golden Axe Warrior, a Zelda ripoff for Sega

[larienna]

There was a sega master system game called "Golden axe warrior" which is a game that looks pretty close to zelda in many ways. I thought that it could be a good source for graphic and audio riping.

Maybe somebody might be interested in remaking this game with the ZC engine. Still there is a few complication because the world map is 15x15 and I think that the number of tiles on each screen is a bit smaller. Of course, the items are not exactly the same but most of them could be substituted.

Here are some screen shots from an emulator for those who never seen this game :

I could see myself using enemies from that game, but beyond that... It doesn't stand up to the kind of tiles people use now. But! For a slightly "updated" looking classic style quest, the tiles would work perfectly. Also, the perspective is more realistic than that of any 2D Zelda, and it gets points for being consistent (spelling?) with the overworld(I'm looking at you, Link's Awakening). I find the dungeon tiles amusing. I want them. Just to stare at them.

Of course, now I must hunt this game down and pwn it. It's a principle kind of thing.

I played this game, I really enjoyed it to start with, but I found it hair-pullingly difficult. I ended up smashing the cart in a fit of rage after dying for the millionth time on some stupid thing.

Yes, I remember this game. I liked it too. I'm gonna actually start making an original quest with these tiles/sprites. I was trying to think of a good game or tileset, this is perfect.
