Am I the only one who really likes Legendary Axe?

I still clearly remember seeing the enormous Jagu in a demo at a local video game store here in Seattle as a kid, that was the day I knew I needed a Turbo.

haha. Every time I saw Jagu I think I actually ended up looking like the dude on the TG box/commercials.

I remember the Turbo Commercial with him in it, he was so big and impressive looking that I wanted to get a Turbo after that.

Anyways, I love Legendary Axe, I think music is the main reason, then maybe the gameplay/nostalgia factor.

Btw. it was just the last weeks "game of the week club" game: http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=7774.msg136086#msg136086

Proud to be the a dis-prover of this statement!

You didn't disprove it, you merely assumed that I was saying "all", when my post clearly implies "most".

And I like China Warrior and Keith Courage too...then again, I played them during their prime so of course I'd like them. MOST people playing them for the first time these days would find them to be bad games, especially China Warrior.

oh.  I guess I misunderstood.

I saw "those of us who didnt play it in its prime, generally dont like it" basically

[greedostick]

Huh, I didn't realize it was that popular. I just assumed since it is kinda hard that everyone hated it. I played it for the first time about 9 years ago, and loved it ever since. I don't know why, but it kind of reminds me of a caveman version of Ghosts n' Goblins, but not quite as hard.

I just didn't care for 2 as much. It didn't feel like a sequel. I remember playing for a few hours and losing interest in some huge castle I think. I need to go back and give it another chance.

Next you all are going to tell me everyone loves Dungeon Explorer II. Caue we all knowe what crap that game is.

The Legendary Axe II isn't actually a real sequel. It's called "Dark Legend" in Japanese and is a completely original game that has nothing to do with The Legendary Axe. It was simply considered a sequel when it was brought stateside. Same company and similar premise, but different game altogether.

The huge castle is probably the last level, as it is a huge metal castle full of mechanical enemies. The only other castle-like level is 3, and it's pretty straightforward so you can't get lost in it...it's just kind of hard until you learn where everything is. If you can remember previously climbing up blocks onto a platform with lightning bolts and clearing that level out to find yourself in a castle, then yes, you'd reached the final level of the game and yes, it is confusing the first few times...if you make it through it at all. The level is very open, with multiple paths to the exit.

Once I start making videos, I want to do a video walkthrough of LA2. It's a pretty damn fun game once you get the hang of it.

Are you all assuming I am a troll? I did start this thread after all. And I was obviesly joking. I have been on this website for almost 3 years, I just hardly ever post since I sold all my turbo stuff a few years ago when my timing chain in my car broke and destroyed my engine. I pretty much gave up on the turbo after I sold Dynastic Hero, Magical Chase, and probably 90% of all the other English games I had, which was basically the whole library. But I decided to start collecting again even though I know I will never find some of those games again. I actually really like Dungeon Explorer II. Enough in fact, that I wrote a FAQ on gamefas for it that I plan on updating really soon when I get another copy of the game

Yes, that huge castle is where I made it. I can't remember if I beat the game or not. It's been about 7 years since I played it.

Yeah, your right.... Rastan Saga II....  .... uh , maybe not hehe

[TurbografxKid]

Hmm.. I played LA for the first time about 3 or 4 years ago. I couldn't find it locally when the Turbo was in its prime. I think it is a very good must have game for anyone that picks up a TG16 or PCE. I have always heard bad things about LA2, but after the things that have been said in this thread, I will consider looking for one to purchase.
