I really like how the boss at the end rips it’s own head off and throws it at you as a weapon.

I, for the past several years, have seriously been saying this to my imaginary audience every morning when I wake up and engage the energy necessary to get to the kitchen and make a coffee. I had a girlfriend in 2019 that would get a kick out of it.

I never saw an arcade cabinet for Altered Beast and only played it in Genesis where it was kind of a shit game compared to Golden Axe.

So there are already tons of annoying enemies in Fromsoft games, but if they ever put one of these fuckers in something, it would be the single most annoying enemy in any of their games.

Supposedly, there’s a movie in the works, because of course there is. I’d better see a gnome getting beat six ways 'til Sunday.

Imagine having to go on some adventure where you sleep directly on the desert floor and it’s full of deadly hand-to-hand combat killing hundreds of people, and thinking, “I’m gonna wear my white and red bikini and red boots.”

It was the 80’s (Golden Axe released in 1989, to be specific) . It was the style of the time.

Don’t sleep on “Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder”, while not available for Genesis, definitely the best version there is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6inP3NQPXY

And if you’re ok with some “jankiness”, there are several fan made versions worth your time for OpenBOR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUybVkHLRMo

The consensus seems to be that people only played it because it came bundled with the console

It’s funny to see which things haven’t transferred over through cultural osmosis through the years. I would have assumed most people here would still recognize this. Clearly I’m an out of touch relic!
