I never saw an arcade cabinet for Altered Beast and only played it in Genesis where it was kind of a shit game compared to Golden Axe.

Imagine having to go on some adventure where you sleep directly on the desert floor and it's full of deadly hand-to-hand combat killing hundreds of people, and thinking, "I'm gonna wear my white and red bikini and red boots."

It was the 80's (Golden Axe released in 1989, to be specific) . It was the style of the time.

And these days you get arrested for having a 6 inch replica of the master sword.

So there are already tons of annoying enemies in Fromsoft games, but if they ever put one of these fuckers in something, it would be the single most annoying enemy in any of their games.

Supposedly, there's a movie in the works, because of course there is. I'd better see a gnome getting beat six ways 'til Sunday.

Just played and beat the second Golden Axe Arcade game with my kid. It's great.

Golden Axe 2 was only on Genesis.

Yes, there was a game actually called "Golden Axe 2" on Genesis, but I was talking about the second Golden Axe arcade game.

I thought you might be. It's a great one! It's not called Golden Axe 2, though.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah it really holds up, too, IMO.

Sega does, what arcadedon't.

Don't sleep on "Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder", while not available for Genesis, definitely the best version there is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6inP3NQPXY

And if you're ok with some "jankiness", there are several fan made versions worth your time for OpenBOR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUybVkHLRMo

The consensus seems to be that people only played it because it came bundled with the console
