Golden Axe edged out Beavis & Butthead in our Sega Genesis Patreon Poll a couple months ago, and now that I've spent a few weeks playing it, I see why people love it so much. It isn't that deep, but it plays well, looks nice, and it's short - three things I love in my video games. I'm gonna have to track down an arcade cabinet and see how it plays in its original form now. 

 

My buddy Chris returns to the show this week, he's a card carrying Sega kid, and it was fun catching up with someone that grew up with axes made of gold (or fucking green, you lying sons of bitches). Let's talk Golden Axe!

 

And before we steal magic from elves, I stumble through another edition of the Infamous Intro!

 

This week, someone asks if I had to choose, would I only play games prior to the PS2 generation, or after it? What's my favourite handheld console ever? And a lifelong Nintendo fan is looking for some direction.

 

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 classic beat 'em ups: Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage, Battletoads & Double Dragon, and TMNT Hyperstone Heist.
