[mrsthangmjlover]

Found this at goodwill about 3 yrs ago for $4 bucks cib wat a find

[mistertitanic]

@mrsthangmjlover WHAAAAT Really!? AMAZING find! I've NEVER once found any turbo game in the wild before!

[kirgeez]

Always like this game... Great sound Really Good Graphics for the time. (Still no Multi Scrolling but it didn't matter) This should have come with the system instead of Keith Courage....

[johnny0seven]

When I was a kid playing this game I thought it had the most awesome music! Some pretty sick games were made for the TurboGrafx 16...my favorites were The Legendary Axe, Devil's Crush, Keith Courage in Alpha Zones and JJ and Jeff!

Did I hear you turning down the volume on your Mac in the video, or is there something wrong with mine!?!?!?!?

[saturnshooters]

There are licensing issues with this particular game and it's not likely we'll be seeing this on the VC. Hudson has also stated that their focus is on WiiWare for now.

dose anyone know if this was released or will be relased on the v console on the wii, i have not been following tg 16 content like i should have apolagizes, thanks for any info...

hi ,I have a question you may be able to answer. I have just bought after looking for ages! a new boxed turbografx, up to the point it arrived I allways thought it was called the Turbogrfx-16? (as it is described all over the place) but no-where on the box is the ident "16" used? just "turbografx" any ideas? or other unfo? cheers

This sort of reminds me of Astyanax on the NES.

5 stars :)

I remember getting this game with the turbo grafx and going "Whoa! Cool!". The sound and graphics were unbelievable!(keep in mind it was 1991).

[fedner31]

Awe man! I was in the 11th grade when I got Turbo Grafx 16 at Electronic Boutique in 1990. My first game was Blazing Lazers. Talk about awesome graphics and sound! Believe it or not, I still have the system intact.

[rockyriverman]

Same here. I had to find some games I had lost over the years (Ebay was great for that), but now I have them and then some.

i luv da theme song, takes it back to 92 like a mothafucka

[pisterpdx]

rygar all the way

[VideoQuestEx]

'Legendary Axe' sort of reminds me of an odd cross between 'CastleVania' & 'Golden Axe.'

Nice gameplay footage, by the way!

[rickilynn1123]

this brings SO MANY wonderful memories. This game rules along with Bonks adventure and Keith Courage!

I believe there was a loud "Bang" when striking with the axe powered up.

[rockyriverman]

and a bright flash when you max out the power of your axe.

I can't wait until this is on Wii VC.

[leafsfreakvt]

Looks a hell of a lot like the NES version of Astanayx (or however you spell that). Those idols that are littered across the levels that give you powerups look the same as well.

[rockyriverman]

True, only the graphics and sound were a LOT better in Legendary axe. I did like Astyanax(sp?) though.

[Cubehead666]

That game's a lot of fun.

[rehzon]

The TG-16 was an nes with faster cpu/memory. So imagine Asty running on it.

[Wraythhmark]

Got this one for one of my birthdays! 14, I think. I hated having to wait till after a long visit to my grandmama's to play it. I was so mad. Ungrateful bastard.

[mrstep2me]

A blast from the past!!!
