Finally took down the 1st game as Ax Battler on default settings:

Next job is to try and do the same with both Tyrus Flare and Gilius Thunderhead.

Okay, now that I have a rhythm down, I beat the game with Tyris (correct spelling this time):

Anyone try The Duel mode?

It's quick and easy. When I beat it my Strength score was over 300. I'm guessing it's because I didn't die (if you die once, it's over).

Thanks for those instructions Russ!  My buddy is coming over again on Wednesday night, so we are going to play #1 again and try to finish 3.

Yeah, I haven't played those modes yet, but intend to. I don't think I could give the games a fair discussion without playing them.

Also if anyone needs that instruction booklet for their game I will gladly grab it and send it out to you. I'm playing on the PS3 Genesis collection so I do not need it. let me know

Yep, have Golden Axe boxed with no manual. Could really use that one if it is still available. Thanks!

Coming your way

And now I've finished Golden Axe with Gilius!

Just had my first playthrough of Golden Axe with a friend of mine.  We played online via the downloadable version on the PS3.  What I didn't know until we started the game is that the version on PS3 is the Arcade version, not the Genesis version, but oh well.  I'll go back and play it again on the Genesis.

Yeah, I didn't realize that when I bought it for Xbox Live. The Genesis version has more levels.

Here are a few thins I observed.  Any "steps" within a level?  Use them, especially on Level 4 of GA1.  If you get them on the step above you just keep hitting them until they die.  The technique I use the most, especially if you have a person on each side of you, is the jump attack or the run attack.  I use the jump attack more, though, because have to double tap left or right throws my timing off.  When using the jump attack, when the enemies too far away from you you need to move up or down because they will use their run attack on you.
