I 1CCed the Legendary Axe...

[lukester]

Great game! I did not expect to 1CC it. Didn't even die on Jagu (2nd form) 

Final score: 777,650 points, 3 lives?

Still one of my favorite PCE games after multiple playthroughs. The music, art style, game design, everything makes a nice package.

I like the spiders, and the music in that game quite a bit.

Try doing it again, and capture it all on video!

That would be nice. I have no tools to record though, and messing up is kind of nervous.

Maybe eventually. Still gotta play Legendary Axe II.

One of my fav too although I never beat it. Watched my cuz beat the game back in the day.

Nice.

I am going to brag: I've done this countless times. I wish you could play as Flare (Lady Axe).

LAII is easier, IMHO.

Both are great games.

I found LA II to be disappointing after the excellently crafted first game.

It's still fun, just nowhere near as tightly designed and kind of sloppy all around.  I never understood the weird things the MC starts doing after you beat the bosses.  You don't even start with an axe.

It also has what is probably the most naked MC outside of a Cho-Aniki game.

I applaud muscle-bound, scantily clad characters in the AXE games.

Sadly, I must disagree with your dismissal of Legendre Axe Duexe: 'tis a fine game and is oozing with atmosphere, suspense, and excellent hacking/slashing/platforming! The first game had a slower pace (which I am fine with), but I really like the frenetic pace you can plow through Axe Deuxe at...it is a different feeling, for sure.

I'll make an analogy:

Legendary Axe I is to Castlevania I (NES)

as

Legendary Axe II is to Dracula X: Rondo (PCE)

Both are excellent Castlevania games, but the first entry has a touch of molasses. To clarify, I did not say "a touch of male asses" (although, all of these games prominently feature stalwart men and their muscle-bound asses), but rather molasses.
