Episode description

There are just some games that immediately come to mind when you think of a specific gaming console. When I think of the Sega Genesis I think of games like Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Streets of Rage 2 and Earthworm Jim. I also think of Golden Axe! It was a hack and slash beat 'em up that was ported to the Genesis from the Arcade. Featuring medieval warriors with swords and axes in hand, its impact to the genre is unmistakable. But does Golden Axe stand on its own as a game you must play today? Or is this axe too rusted and lost to time?

Join me by the campfire my friends as I try Golden Axe for the first time and answer that question.
