WELCOME TO A SPECIAL VIDEO!!

Conversion Notes

Went a little above and beyond for this one. During the port I found a youtube video which found a few of the sample sources for Golden Axe came from a selection of 80s movies, Conan, American Werewolf in London and Rambo. To get the best quailty possible I did a deep dive in these films and managed to replace 6 voice samples with new higher quality versions.

For the MVS / AES, the soundtrack is taken from the original System16 arcade PCB. High quality recordings were supplied by Artemio and then converted to run through the ADPCM-B. Neo Geo CD users get that classic 90s bonus of a full CD soundtrack of ultimate epicness from composer Richard Douglas.

A lot of effort went into getting this even more visually accurate than my previous port, requiring a huge reworking of my graphics converstion tools.. again!. There are a few minor differences and some edge case glitches which I decided to leave as the amount of work to iron them out really outweight the results they would bring. After all, we wanna play it right?

Thanks to the testers
