For those interested, this old beat-em-up has a bunch of scenes involving caged/bound/chained villagers/dwarves/random NPCs. There are also a couple scenes involving the player characters: the first only appears if you don't take the cave path at the first fork. Your character(s) get caught in a giant sack and dropped off near the enemy campgrounds. The second, somewhat better scene comes after you beat the last boss of stage 3, some bars drop down and trap you, then you enter a bonus stage where your character(s) are tied hanging from the ceiling and you have to mash the button to break free before the thieves make off with your magic potions, then you can just beat the crap outta them like usual.
There is one female among the playable characters, she's a centaur, though she can magically spawn human legs for riding the game's beasties. For this scene, however, she'll be in her centaur form.

Re: Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder
Always liked this game as well as the entire Golden Axe series, so this brings back good memories. I actually beat this one in an arcade once I think probably 15 years ago. I beat it again a few years back but that was on emulator, so it was of course a lot cheaper than the first time around!
Always thought Dora was cool, though because of the centaur thing and all, Tyris Flare and that relate of hers from
GAIII are still hotter to me. But they all make good DiDs, and I don't know why there isn't more fanart of them
in DiD situations.
And for the life of me, I've never understood how Sega dropped the ball on turning Golden Axe into an animated series to tie-in with the games and further promote them. A GA cartoon would have kicked some serious ass. I remember right around the time the Genesis first came out, the first GA was one of the big launch titles that Sega pimped heavily to sell the system, along with Altered Beast. It had just been a huge game in the arcades, and Sega heavily marketed the home game in its tv commercials. It was pretty popular on its own, but how much more successful could the games have been if kids got to regularly see Axe Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gillius Thunderhead ripping it up against Death Adder's forces on Saturday mornings? It's all the more perplexing when you consider that Nintendo was cornering the market on videogame cartoons in the late 80s-early 90s with Mario, Zelda, and Captain N. Sega was really late to the party and that first Sonic cartoon didn't come out until what, '93? This would have made a great animated series, but it just was not to be.
