On Paramount+, The Golden Axe, is going kinda hard, the humor is awesome, the fourth wall breaks are relentless and the personalities of the characters are surprisingly relatable for a side scroller SEGA GENESIS game. Perhaps the best game adaptation?

Someone has the Full map of Yuria? Can be from the games or the animation.

Curious if anyone has some recommendations for fantasy novels/series that are (somewhat) similar in tone to the show?

I'm really enjoying it.

Now I need a dark and gritty Streets of Rage with a single character who is aware of how ridiculous it is, with all the identical bad guys, eating food off the street etc.

And then a very racially insensitive Shinobi that is ridiculous but takes itself very seriously

Because I’ve seen this before like that Thundercats 2020, she-ra 2018, Velma even Jurassic world afterbrith which I think was meant to be the monster island sequel to Godzilla 2014 Gareth Edward’s had planned before Skull island was made.

In truth I think it was meant to be a comedy dungeons and dragons show but like I said they took the easy and cheap way but couldn’t compete with Legend of Vox Machina and Migthey Nein. And they obviously used A.I in some of the moments if you pay attention.

Just starting the show, and I started reading “Orconomics” by J. Zachary Pike last night.

Without knowing ahead of time I may have just created a perfect pairing.

Wish me luck.

(Also, an aside, after being introduced to Rhys via Widow’s Bay he’s almost unrecognizable as the dwarf and it’s awesome. Guy’s got range.)

I honestly never thought to use MAME and get to try out this game for the first time, and bare in mind I have been playing Golden Axe since the 90s on the Mega Drive, honestly, this game is great...obviously challenging being an arcade video game and finding means to make you pour the machine with coins but god the graphics are stunning, the way that there are moments that you use your special and you see a mini cutscene where some of the enemies men have their faces melted off.

Think I will be replaying this game again and again, even got an arcade stick last week to get that true authentic arcade feel with controls.

I'm really not sure where else to post this. I started watching the show and I thought for sure Gilius was played by Malcom McDowell. I was shocked when I found out it was Matthew Rhys. Blown away by his performance and how unlike himself he sounds.

Didn't intend to binge watch but I had fun watching it. Quite entertaining and a few genuinely good laughs

Honestly wasn't following development of the show too closely, so I too am keeping my expectations low. If I was asked about my approach toward a revival of Golden Axe, my thoughts would not turn to warmed-over Family Guy jokes about the mounts or Tyris busting the jewels of the elf pickpockets. Even as someone who isn't completely pulling the trigger until it streams, I don't have high hopes. Least I still have Sonic 4 and the second season of Cyberpunk Edgerunners to look forward to, because I have a sneaking suspicion this will be another "one and done" event if I had to say now.

I mainly want to get it to play Golden Axe III (among other non-Golden Axe games) since I and II are on the Switch Online emulator but I would like to buy these to own it physically and not need to rely on a subscription

Is there any input delay on the Switch version of the Genesis Classics collection? I’ve heard it has 4 save stages per game and rewind and speed up which is making it more tempting, but if there’s delay I might go with the PS4 version

We loved this game on the Sega Genesis! What y’all’s thoughts?
