Am I the only one who really likes Legendary Axe?

Not that Legendary Axe 2 crap. The original. Don't know why, but I really like this game alot. Maybe because it's challenging, or maybe cause I really like the soundtrack. I think it is a solid addition to the PC Engine library. Anyone else really like this game?

Yes, and I really like that "Legendary Axe II crap" as well.  :)

Yeah,  Many people do.  It gathered a few GoTY awards too during its time, so by no means did the game go unnoticed.

Personally, I'm not sure what the big fuss is about.  But then again I never gave the game a decent chance, plus I first played the game well after its prime, so there's no nostalgia factor for me either.

I've never heard of Legendary Axe.  It's an RPG, right?

best rpg ever!!  At one point I had to walk around for three hours to up my level before I fought dweebledwarf the dark one to steal his crown to give to the monk in the lost woods who offered me a moon rock for me to smoke and write this line of b.s..

  Legendary is legendry!!!!  its the first tg16 game I bought.  I saw the commercial and this game was a huge selling point for me to buy the system.  Take a look and you will agree It was the selling point at this time.    I saw that big ass sprite on my screen and was like  "sold"!

Legendary Axe is fantastic. Great chip tunes, colourful graphics, and some of the smoothest gameplay I've ever experienced.

I love Legendary Axe, but I only play it up to the point where I die, wherever that may be.  I do not like starting over at the weakest level when it took me 45 minutes to get to where I was at, life bar and strength/speed-wise.

It's primitive and largely only loved by those who played it during its prime. Those of us who did not...generally find it to be weaksauce and too buggy to enjoy.

I played it way back when and loved it. So I went back to it a couple years ago after several years off and felt it held up pretty darn well. Sure, the graphics aren't particularly sharp, but the tunes are interesting and the game itself is pretty solid and fun.

Ark and I *gasp* agree?!?! lol  While I did indeed drool over it bitd looking at pics in magazines, I never played until like 2 years ago.  Still a damn solid, fun game.
