Name the Game

I may post some more pics if there are more wrong guesses, but I think posting any other shots might have spoiled it already.

Hint: This is a not so obscure (I think, could probably be considered quite popular) action game. The posted image was from a certain scene that many people never got to see for some reasons.

I took me a while but then I recognized where I'd seen that type of helmet before, it looks a thug from Golden Axe $:-\$

It looks a bit too high-res though. One of the sequels?

It looks really familiar. I'm fairly sure I've seen it in an intro on a Megadrive game. I just can't for the life of me place it.
Warmonger?

Golden Axe

*Ding ding ding* A winner is you!

It was actually taken from the arcade version. In the original Japanese version there was a brief scene in the attraction mode where the player decapitated a thug, which was removed for the other versions. The even more popular Mega Drive version (and most other ports as well) also had this removed for obvious reason.
For this reason, I bet not many people here might have seen this and this was intended to be the tricky part.

The reason it appeared high res was because the head zoomed towards the screen and it was quite large compared to the head of a typical character sprite.

Anyway, your turn!

Here is something a bit more modern:

Looks like a medieval version of Bionic Commando!

I know that one... Something like Jetpack Man?

Amayirot Akago · Sun 29/10/2017 10:56:02

Monuments of Mars.

lorenzo · Sun 29/10/2017 11:39:05

Amayirot got it right! It's Monuments of Mars.

That sounds like a mix of Jetpack and Jumpman. I want that game!

I remember that one! Wow thanks for the flashback.
