Tough Slashing Classic
Advantages: Challenging,Great music Disadvantages: Fairly small sprites,odd enemy colours,muffled sounds
Golden Axe was one of the games released on Mega Games 2, a three in one cartridge that was packaged with the Sega Megadrive(Genesis) , along with Streets of Rage and Revenge of Shinobi, at the peak of the console's popularity.Naturally it was extremely popular.I got my Megadrive early, and never had it.So I had to put up with listening to all my friends rant about it, and sneaking the occasional go on multiplayer.That was,of course until Sega's ... ...a sandwich. Golden Axe is a Side Scrolling Fighter along similar lines to Streets of Rage and it's sequels, only while they were 'Beat' em ups, Golden Axe was a 'Slash' em up.Each character,both good and evil, was outfitted with some variety of medieval weaponry. The story is fairly simple, the evil Death Adder has taken the Royal Family Hostage,and stolen the Golden Axe.Three warriors,all with personal issues with the Adder,Ax-Battler(and yes, that ...

Rashing for the big bucks
Advantages: Superb graphics, unique racing engine, interactive gameplay and just pure fun Disadvantages: Basic multiplayer features, repetitive after a few hours, and races all become the same
...reach the next level in Road Rash. Meaning every type of race will need the player to finish in third place or higher. After this is achieved, the player is then taken to a higher level of racing. Same tracks, but against tougher bikers, police and racing conditions. For bigger money to spend on better bikes. There are two weapons to acquire in the game, a baseball bat and a chain. Both cause high damage to other bikes and only take a few swings ... ...and bump you off the road into environmental objects like trees. Once the player is knocked off their bike near a police officer, it will instantly end the race in an arrest. If not enough cash is available to pay the fine, its game over. Tough to punch off, so the strategy is to kick them into oncoming cars and they won't bother you again for the entire race. Annoying opposition, but that is their job after all. Feuds can also be activated against ...

A bona fide gamign classic
Advantages: It manages to improve on the original Disadvantages: Some folk will ignore it on the basis of it's age.
...the back of the excellent STREETS OF RAGE the follow up, Streets Of Rage II (Bare Knuckle 2 in Japan) was a huge step forward and an even bigger success. The second game is often referred to as the pinnacle of the series as it seemed to improve in every way on what many enjoyed so much originally. The game was released 1 year after the original with a release in 1992, a time gap the story line of the game also makes a relation to.
To start this ... ...and were again taking the streets back. The game then see’s the fearless foursome of freedom fighters (fighting for Adam’s freedom after all) END of SPOILERS..
The original pairing of Blaze and Axel both return as playable characters accompanied by two new heroes, “Skate” and Max. Like its predecessor the characters each had their own traits, which became more obvious during this game than the original. In the original one of the complaints was ...
