Which is the second movie shown here?

[TheFinalHighlander]

That's Conan the Destroyer. Not as good as Conan the Barbarian but still great for a swords and sorcery film.

[TheRealStrider]

Sorry to bug u again. But iv been meaning to ask anyone who know about this sort of stuff. How do u film the game itself without actaully having to put the camera in front of the tv making u get a really terrible picture?

[TheFinalHighlander]

You can either use a DVD recorder or use a program like CamStudio to record from an emulator or just link your TV to your PC.

[TheRealStrider]

Back.....lol..... I know I will probalby get blasted for saying this but have u ever tried Micheal jackson Moonwalker. I know its weird but its actaully a fun game for the Mega Drive.

[TheFinalHighlander]

Yeah I don't own it but I used to rent it from the local video store all the time when I was younger. I didn't get very far but I enjoyed it. Very stylish.

I thought the Golden Axe was the gold axe in Death Adders hand.

[vazzeg]

Golden Axe was the first game I ever played, when I was but a wee child. Brings back memories.

Brillant review, this is the best review of golden axe i've ever seen and yes, i love the game so much as well.

I always thought the extra level in the Megadrive level was really poor quality and looked like it'd been added at the very last minute. The graphics just didn't look too good in some parts.

It was a great game though and I'm just waiting for someone to do great things with this IP.
