Classic Game Room HD – GOLDEN AXE for Sega Genesis review
by admin on May.03, 2010, under Uncategorized
Classic Game Room HD reviews the original GOLDEN AXE for the Sega Genesis video game system. This is one of the most iconic games from the 16-bit era and this Megadrive review of Golden Axe shows gameplay footage from this amazing 2D side scrolling beat em up hack and slash from 1989. Originally created as a brilliant Sega arcade game, Golden Axe saw popularity with its Sega Genesis release in ‘89. Players can choose from 3 different characters: Bohunk, dwarf and hot chick in bikini with sword. Each character has different strengths and magical abilities. The girl in her underwear can summon dragons and the other two summon girls in their underwear (no the don’t, but it would be cool if they did!) Golden Axe is played from the Sega Genesis Collection on PS2 Playstation 2 for optimal video quality. It is a great collection as well, check out the PS2 Genesis collection for great games like the Golden Axe trilogy, Shinobi 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog. This game should also be on the Xbox 360 and PS3 Sega Genesis Ultimate collection. if you like Conan and swords and sorcerers kind of stuff then this game should be right up your alley. Check out GOLDEN AXE review from Classic Game Room and pick up this game cartridge or PS2 collection today.

To dash/run you need to push the control pad (left or right) twice.
eg: left left (hold) = run
left left (hold) + jump and then attack = Death Stab
left left (hold) + jump = jump higher than normal jump
left left (hold) + attack = barge

The Sega Genesis was perhaps the first games console I ever played in my life, therefore this game was among the first games I ever played in my life. I just loved the setting and the battles in it.
Then last year I bought the Sega Megadrive Collection on PS2 so now I can have fun with it again and again!
By the way, I agree with the phrase “Watch out for those damn skeletons” – their attacks are probably the most annoying ones you can get on the receiving end of.
