Classic Game Room HD – GOLDEN AXE for Sega Genesis review

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.

    @EnglishTurtle sorry to say but i actually does, lol i killed my own teammates because of it

  3. TheSh8d0w says:

    This is an awesome game. I played this with my sister countless times, and i still do. She always picks the fire lady and i always played as lightning dwarf. I picked the bomb man in blue before which was a mistake because he sucked. But this game is awesome and i even made it to the final lvl ( and loss)

  4. EnglishTurtle says:

    Does this game have that annoying thing in co op where you can hit your own team mates? I hate that.

  5. EnglishTurtle says:

    This game brought me awesome memories. I’m planning on getting Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis collection, and a Sega Genesis USB controller so that I can play it on the PS3.

    This game amazed me. I just loved the combat overall.

    @EmperorDinobot

    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

  17. shade231 says:

    the skeletons were hard but what was the biggest pain in the ass were the draconian in the 2nd one.

  18. chrlzbrks says:

    DDR is such a fucking high school game to play. People just showing off that they can step on squares that coordinate with the fast moving arrows on the screen.

    Simply put….NOT A CLASSIC!

  34. xplay321 says:

  47. TheDiabloKnight says:

    nice list dude…SFII is the shit. the Simpsons is badass as well

  48. Iceferno says:

    Damn, I really wanna play The Simpsons Arcade! I don’t think it’s on Xbox Live Arcade yet (but TMNT Arcade is).

    Never knew Mario World was an Arcade game too. Sounds cool that you had giant Nes controllers :P

    I’d also love to try the Arcade Time Crisis too. I’ve only played a PS2 demo of one and that was pretty snazzy. 8)
    Maybe I’ll try House Of The Dead one of these days too, but it probably, again, wouldn’t be on an Arcade. Damn, I’m jealous! :P

  49. neoman289151 says:

  50. sapato0 says:

    oh really. If you get the change to go to Central America, and go to any arcade place, you will find all the metal slug collection. Well cool videos, nice choices.
