Amiga Tribute: Shadow Of The Beast

Aarbron from Shadow of The Beast.

Part 1/24 of my Amiga tribute project >3

Yes, for those who were wondering (and actually interested), on of my tribute projects I'm doing this year is an Amiga games one.

And the first to be featured in said project is Shadow of The Beast, an undoubtedly important title in the Amiga library(there were various ports of course, but the original comes from Amiga >D).
For one, while it wasn't long, it was bloody hard (yeah, I know that Youtube playthrough makes it look easy, but trust me, it surely wasn't), two, it was considered revolutionary because its graphics, with many more colours on screen and up to twelve levels of parallax scrolling backdrops, were of a level rarely if ever seen before in action games, three, atmospheric soundtrack composed by David Whittaker that used high-quality instrument samples (it might not be be "the best music evah", but it fit the game like nothing else would (well, maybe except the almighty Guile theme XD)).
And do note all that was done on friggin' 1,52MB floppy disks, it took skill to pour so much awesomeness into those >D

Hope all of you enjoy this, as there will be more of these to come >3
