I'm interested in trying Golden Axe on PC Engine CD and Sega CD in addition to the MD/Genesis.  I love trying out alternate versions of the same game.

I love the animated intro in the PC Engine CD version. Death Adder sama!

Is it on Sega CD? I only saw it on the Sega Classics compilation.

I was looking at Golden Axe on PS2 (Sega Ages). Interesting, but to be honest, the Genesis version looks better to me.

Busting out some couch co-op Golden Axe this weekend with my buddy Cameron. Some of you may know that he is the guitar player from the band Atma Weapon and actually did our opening and closing music for the Playcast.  He's a gamer as well and is planning to joining us on the Golden Axe podcast to talk about some "Axe Battlering" and Atma's new album coming out this Fall.  Should be a great show.

IF you somehow don't own one of those, you can even play it in your browser:

It's worth noting that some are Arcade conversions, while some are based off the Sega Genesis release and some were pared down even further (PC-Engine version is 1-player and calls Ax Battler "Tarik", making it more based around him than the adventure).

Well, I started already.  I used the dwarf and kept the life at 3 bars.  Got to the boss of the 5th level.

I started a little early this past weekend, because my buddy Cameron was over and we could co-op.  Made it the the last boss on the original Golden Axe, beat Golden Axe II, and could not get my copy of Golden Axe III on the MegaDrive to work even though I have a Honey Bee converter.  Apparently, my Gen 1 has the lockout chip..... Oh well, I picked up the Sonic Collection on PS3 today and may also try it on my Retron5.

Anyone else started?

Nice, sounds great to hear everyone having fun so far


Russlyman, your pics remind me of something I always wanted to know,  how is the level of class determined? And, what effect does it have on your character?

Status update:

Golden Axe - made it to the last boss (couch co-op), could not beat
Golden Axe II - finished the game (couch co-op)
Golden Axe III - made it through stage 6

So far my favorite of the series is the original Golden Axe. Golden Axe III is my least favorite, for reasons I'll get into on the podcast. However, I'm going to try to keep an open mind and continue to play it a bit more.
