Golden Axe

Who else was fond of this game? It's a side-scroller game where you choose from a male warrior, a female warrior, a dwarf, or (depending on the game) a panther-looking thing. Then you fight off random enemies, kick a bunch of gnomes for potions and scrolls, and even find some interesting steeds.

I liked it. Why else would I be posting a topic on it?

=O!

I haven't played this game in years! God... I could never fully complete the first game. For some reason I always ended up dying in the same spot...

I always powered up my 'magic' fully before I used it. The results were... so amazingly powerful and visually impressive. Got to love it. Those dragons were pretty poor though... even if I did waste time trying to get on one at any cost. XD

2 and 3 were okay, but they seemed lacking. I guess some sequels were just never meant to be.

Golden Axe was a mighty game. Why, if it weren't for games like itself we wouldn't have the awesomeness of Samurai Warriors, Dynasty Warriors and Sengoku Basara nowadays. I was never able to complete Golden Axe, got up to Death Adder a couple of times but he kicked my ass severely, even in two player mode.

Golden Axe: The Duel looked quite fun though, a 2D fighter set in the Golden Axe universe. Just a pity I never had a Saturn to try it out.

Golden Axe was awesome i had it for the Mega Drive i was just a little kid but i had it!

I think i still have the original Golden Axe in here somewhere!

I always choosed the old dwarf guy because he seemed to be the strongest....

I played Golden Axe 2 with the Mega Drive emulator for the pc that´s where you could play with the puma guy and stuff...but i still prefered one!

I am rather fond of the Golden Axe series, it is one of the best side scrollers to date...Good times, back then Sega's reign was supreme...now look at them.

I loved this game, I had it on some game pack that had a few other games on it as well. I was no good at the game, but it was nonetheless! I tended to like the dwarf.
