  • Who is Astyanax? What does Astyanax mean? What about Astyanax on arcade? How is Astyanax played? Should I throw my baby over a wall?

    This is not what I thought this game was like AT ALL. THANKS, NESFRIEND!!!
    I really like the look of the alien baby that leaves its mech when it's brain and butt are throbbing. That's a nice design. Great video, as always.

    100% my favorite part about your channel is your addition of old commercials. That is so unique and mood setting. I sadly don't remember these commercials from my childhood, but I love them now. I blame ADHD. :)

    The thing that got my attention about this game was how big the sprites were which was just mentioned after I finished the comment, the Same guy who created astyanax also did legendary ax which has the same stamina bar mechanic

    Great in-depth review. I played this last week and enjoyed it but found the hit detection and heavy sprite feel while jumping a bit jarring. Still enjoyed it though.

    Great commercial, I I that room!
    Also, really appreciate the historical bit, and the fact that it had nothing to do with it factoid.
    This (and the heretofore unknown to me arcade) looks interesting!
    Also that dont throw your baby's over walls comment was hilarious!

      Definitely don't throw babies! If I've taught anyone anything, I hope it's that

    Nice review Trav. I don't currently have this game in my collection by I do remember playing it as a kid. Doesn't look like it still holds up.
    Keep em coming!

    So, if it has nothing to do with Greek mythology, why is the hero named Astyanax? Weird :) It looks and sounds like it has some major issues. No wonder my local game store has it for $5. Infinite continue is a nice touch though. Lots of interesting info. Thanks!

      @@NESFriend Thanks! I think I will. I'm more of a quantity vs quality guy who would rather have several decent games in my NES and SNES library than just a select few expensive ones. I like to check videos like this one to make sure that the budget friendly titles aren't a total hot mess to try to play.
