Come closer friends and let me tell you a tale of swords and sorcery! Of dungeons cold and dragons old, of heroes bold and piles of gold! Draw near and hear the tale be told, now watch the curtains, as they unfold!
Beyond Oasis is a cool RPG/Action game for the SEGA Genesis!
Why make a Let's Play of this game?
It's all explained in the video!
Why should I watch this Let's Play?
It's all evident from watching the video!
So what's this game like/about anyway?
It's about a prince called Ali who finds a magical gold armlet that can control the worlds spirits while on an trip across the ocean in a small fishing boat. Soon thereafter he discovers that its twin, the silver armlet, has also been discovered, but the silver one is evil! We as gamers know instantly what must be done...
OK FINE, let's just get on with it
Chapter 1 - The Introduction
Chapter 2 - Now with more kung-fu raptor
Chapter 3 - Oh God Why, Why Why Why the fuck did I do this
Chapter 4 - Now with more +1 swords of flaming
Chapter 5 - May contain traces of KA-POW!
Chapter 6 - May contain tra- **CORRUPTED**
Chapter 7 - May contain traces of 'Done when it's done'
Chapter 8 - This time it's not Chapter 7
Chapter 9 - This time it's almost over!

Good times. Good first part too.
Much easier way to say it. :P
I never asked for this!
I discovered this game in 1996-97 when i went to a friends house and saw him playing it. I was interested in it right away because it seemed so deep. A lot more depth to this game than Zelda.
Was this game marketed at all? I never saw any commercials or ads for it back in the 90's. I guess it's on the Virtual Console now?
As I demonstrated, all that was necessary was a great big hunk o' cheese.
I'm not sure if it was the final take, but I did go on a bit about the Zelda similarities in one of the takes.
Hopefully will get the next part up super fast because the game is a reasonable length, and we don't wanna be bumping this thing till 2k9, going to try and make sure I get all the secret stuff possible though, get a real thorough look at this rarely mentioned gem.
I reanted it many times and it had the ability to rival Zelda in terms of action/adventure gameplay.
Not many can boast that.
Well incidentally, I was just planning on recording an audition of the dialog for you mod, which will require me to lose my British accent entirely in favor of a bit of rootin' tootin' US to the A
Oh man, that sounds wonderful.
That video was totally fucking great, by the way. I laugh unbelievably hard when you go off on tangents and shit's still happening on screen (like when you were dodging the spears from those two enemies at the top of the screen).
A lot of the LPers here are American. Don't lose the accent! It's your gimmick!
It didn't support saves going into the next month. And I think it didn't support save files if you loaded different games after playing one that required saves.
Anyway, yes, Beyond Oasis is one of the best Sega Genesis games ever. I hope this LP does it justice.
I also hope you're going to be a man about it and not pick up any hearts to level up <.<
Chapter 2
Be a trooper, take on those hidden crags of jumping horror!
Can't have sound running right now and no headphones closeby, or I would. But tomorrow!
Also, I like the longer videos. They let me take a break from boring maya stuff.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that honor goes to Crusader of Centy. I loved that game too, but Beyond Oasis is better than it and most of the Zelda games.
I vote the 100 level dungeon.
I just had my first attempt, which I also recorded, got to lvl 40 and died, very frustrating!!!!!! This may take some time...
I will have the video uploaded and available ASAP, I am just about ready with some free time now, hence me checking the forums, so I'll be on it in a jiffy!
9 days later, and it's finished!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chapter 3
However!
I went strait back into the dungeon to test out how I'd do with the new sword, the first monsters I got?
4 Zombies.
One swipe, and I remembered, OH YES, the sword is FIRE ENCHANTED!
The zombie instantly turned to ash (literally, there's a special animation for it)
THIS IS IT, I'VE ARRIVED
heh, awesome lets play i love this game, bring on chapter 4, lets hope its slightly less grueling a task.
Do you talk while you are playing and recording? Or do you add your speech afterwards?
I personally couldn't talk and play at the same time like that.
-EDIT-
Obviously it seems you talk while you're playing. I'm about halfway through this video now. Right after you died the 1st time at level 40.
I also had a LOT of tries at 40-100 that FAILED, the final 40-100 you see is the product of 9 days of dying again and again for like 3 hours a day, fucking torture!
Honestly I'd be suprised if very many people watch the entire video, I think it's an hour long for crying out loud, but I wanted it done and now the rest of the LP will be more fun to watch because I have such a great weapon, and I hope people at least skim watch the video (especially the last boss), bloody hell.
But yeah, watched the whole thing. Laughed so hard at the four raptors and the last few floors were all sorts of epic.
Great job. Looking forward to the rest.
