- The Swords and Sandals franchise have been a huge part of your childhood, as well as mine.
The sheer happiness we received when hearing the theme soar through our ears and got excited to enter the arena once more.
We all sort of collectively forgot about this game some period in our lives whilst still having it imprinted in our synapses. The day we remembered this game, it all felt like a fever dream. But a good one.

GLADIATOORRR GLADIATOORRR!
Sword and sandals!
gladiator! gladiator! gladiator!
Swords and sandals
GLADIATORRR
Gladiator!! You have leveled up😁
crazy, I didn't think someone would make a documentary about this bit of my childhood almost nobody I know today has ever heard of. I recall commenting on one of his videos asking how the comma glitch happened and he gave a detailed response akin to what you covered -- guy is very much deserving of all the fruits of his labour
YO
Seriously man, whenever I ask my friends "have you guys played swords of sandals" every single time it's a "nope" it's such an amazing game that continues on with it's story, I love the lore so much and never knew he made a game past swords and sandals 2. I come back 8 years later now that I'm 20 and he has, 3, 4, 5, immortals, pirates, etc. Such an AMAZING series
@@Bread.--__-- amen
Absolute classic, glad to grow up with this master peice.
wow, not even 5 minutes in and i'm already very impressed by the amount of research here.
even I who consider myself a Swords and Sandals expert and long time fan have no idea of the amount of stuff and history Swords and Sandals have, it's utterly amazing.
Toast to you, Toasters!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the comments!
Amazing video, with lots of stuff i didnt even know about the game.
We, the smaller contributors didn't get a mention haha. You could have used my title theme when you introduced Immortals in the video. That song was my happy little mistake.
When you go full charisma run, "Swords and Sandals" turns into "Words and Sandals"
Very good job with this! Been wanting a proper in depth look at S&S. Like how you pause in between points, helps my slow brain keep up better.
Thank you so much :) appreciate it!
dude i did not expect to see you here
this man defined my childhood i really loved swords and sandals and i still love it and one day I can't help but hope that one day i will buy the entire series all at once.
Literally, my most favorite game on the web from my childhood. Super nostalgic. :]
CORE MEMORY UNLOCKED
The games are perfect bangers
very well made documentary, hopefully the games will live on
Hope so too!
This was the video I didn't know I wanted, great job!
Good times man
Thanks you so much for making this video. Swords and sandals was always a game I looked back at with a smile and after watching this video just made me look at it with a bigger smile 😃
super underrated creator, great video man!
You did your research, that's for sure! Lots of good background information and nice clean visuals and audio! Good stuff man!
you need, so many more views. such quality content!
thank you for supporting the man hustle that made joy in our childhood
Great quality video thank you! Good to learn more about Oli
Hi Toasters, my first video of yours that I've seen, great video!
Thanks for putting this together. Great content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
smashed that like button really enjoying the content
I bought the whole Swords and Sandals collection on steam I played SAS a lot as a kid and its still fun to play today.
great video!
here at brazil an bodybuilder lost his own youtube channel rights to his (supposed) friends who was just the crew members because he did not read a renew contract and just had signed it.. he leaves the channel, it lost almost all the views and they tried to sell it back to him.. he refused because he had started a new one..
Very nice Video !
I was never so Lucky to have the last Play Station console or Xbox so, all I had to entertain myself in my humble home was Internet conection, a PC, logged into Armorgames,Kongregate or Newgrounds and just play over and over the Swords and Sandals games, they were so well made for a flash game, and I really enjoyed their cartoonish humor, thanks for doing this video.
amazing video quality for such a small channel like holy crap
Swaaaardd nd sandael gladiaetaaarr!!
is there even a series like swords and sandals? its so strange knowing that a game i know from my childhood has almost no similarities with other games.
It's soo sad this video has so few views
My entire childhood changed when i found the cheat codes
first time i heard theres a steam version i catapulted myself to my computer so i can buy games and support Oliver. SWORD AND SANDALS GLADİATOOOOOOOOOOR
Just bought Swords and Sandals Immortal on steam yesterday
how is it?
yeah is it worth it? i used to be a massive SAS2/3 fan
@@CockRide is free on mobile
Didnt realize there was so much story (irl) behind this series, I suppose I should have assumed so when I saw the remasters released on steam (bought them as soon as I saw them of course)
I know this loved this my sword and sandals best part was first appearance ever
even though the artstyle has changed drastically over the years, i'm glad the series is still just as great as it's always been.. the only one i hate is the mobile exclusive remake of the original
"GLAD-i-a-TOR! ... GLAD-i-a-TOR! ... GLAD-i-a-TOR! ... GLAD-i-a-TOR! ..." ... has been living in a luxurious, rent-free penthouse in my midbrain since, I dunno... (what day is it?)
Swords and Sandals immortals was borderline perfect
Seria gier które zapisały się w serca na wieki
19:47 funny you say that. when I got to him on the steam version, I was still in a disadvantage tho, I got an overkill hit from him, having like around everything 250, he hit me with a grievious 1587 crit ... x)
0:55 SONNY!
I really really enjoyed swords and sandals 1 and 2. Just how original it felt. I even paid and currently playing the 2nd game on mobile which (although slightly buggy) really fun!
I honestly think the 3rd games design and after look weird and ugly. It lost its touch but I like how ambitious they were.
Great video!
Canonic game on a boys life
i thought you were talking about the Peplum genre. I never played this game. Maybe I should start
Heavily inspired by it! I'm planning on doing a video on pepla in the near future.
Oliver can add death row to classic colection?
Gladiatooooor
Thus video inspired me to play it again, and I think I have found a bug: even the shittiest ranged weapon with 10 agility oneshots everyone, including the butcher, wtf?
u can report bugs on his discord server and he will surely answer u and find a way to fix it
Give discord link for that man please if you have
Oliver's soundtrack WAS cheesy. He's right, but the whole game series is delightfully cheesy and absolutely coated with Oliver's dad humor. It's a cheesy soundtrack for a cheesy game and I love it.
12:55 such cringe
Never heard of it.
lol im not only one who played in real life :DD
