Pargraph breaks and spacing would make that horrible, incoherent mess that was just posted before this a whole lot easier to read. Also:

If anyone's interested in selling their copy of Golden Axe CD (PCE version obviously), I'll gladly take it off your hands for $20 plus shipping.

Yes! Please stop!

How about we talk about my counterfeit copy of Sapphire instead?

Hey. We don't really know that they are counterfeit yet.

I'm going to search the Earth and discover the origin of these slightly different copies of the game.

On the Golden Axe subject...we picked up a copy of Golden Axe for the GBA today (a Sega Smashpack containing Ecco, Sonic Spinball, and Golden Axe) and all I have to say is...if the PCE version plays as badly as the GBA version, then it's no wonder why people say it sucks. Wow, the GBA version is the essence of ass. You can't see what's going on most of the time because the colours are way too dark, the game scrolls way too fast, the enemy AI is jacked way up higher than the original PLUS they move too fast, and it's based on the Genesis version rather than the arcade original. A total slobjob.

After playing through it (and yes, beating it, it's not hard when you're used to the Genesis version anyways), I had to play through the arcade original to be reminded of what a truly great game Golden Axe was before it was fux0red by Sega's lesser programmers...

Yeah, it sucks for the Dreamcast version of Smash Pack too. Unfortunate, as playing Golden Axe on my DC was the only reason I bought it. The sound...godawful...

I recently played alien storm becausse of the fond memories, very similar to Golden Axe and only different in style ( except for that it has a bonus shooting thing between levels).

Good to play for half an hour but not one for the history books.

I'll be the first to say that EGM was among the worst for this kind of favouritism (they knocked a lot of Neo Geo games left and right) but they all sucked when it all comes down to it. And I'm 30, btw.

Wouldn't say every game on the.. NeoGeo sucked.

Sure it had it's share of turds like with any system.

Still it had it's share of gems also.

MetalSlug
Kof serise
Samurai Shodown 2 heh my all time favorite
Strikers 1945 Plus
Magicial Drop III
Nam 1975
Magician Lord
View Point
Last Blade
Garou MOTW

To name a few.

As for EGM they been going down hill ever since, Ed sold the mag all those years ago.

Sega been lazy period when it comes to.. emulation.

Given how the, Sega Smash Pack turn out for the DC

please, dont even mention its name; it hurts me too much. [I sold my minty fresh copy in the mid '90s along with BioHazard Battle] I still regret it so much. Those were the last games I ever sold, I just can't do it.

I didn't say every game on the NeoGeo sucked, I said every magazine sucked. The NeoGeo was awesome.
