Author/Vendor:	Sega
Released:	various
Type:	Fighting
Language:	English
Premise:	One or two players can choose from a limited assortment of characters and match skill and steel with the minions of the evil Death Adder, who has taken over the kingdom. Ported from the acclaimed series of coin-op games.
Impressions:	This is the legendary Sega platform fighter that was the rage of the arcades during its day. The sequels don't add much except for one or two new characters and some different moves - although fans of the series say that the third is the best of the lot. While they can't hold a candle to the Streets of Rage series, there's still enough in here to keep the average gamer content for a long time. Good graphics, decent sound, and better-than-average gameplay which gets rather involved at times.
Variations:	Golden Axe (1989) Golden Axe 2 (1991) Golden Axe 3 (1993)
Recommended Emu:	Genecyst X
