Talk:Golden Axe (video game)

message: Ok, this is a rather confusing topic about the two Death Adder look-alikes from Golden Axe 2 and 3. Are Dark Guld and Hellbringer actually the same character, which we all know as Death Adder? - Yuri Elite

replies: text: I don't think its been definitively stated in the literature. It is certain that Death Adder was in Golden Axe 1, Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder, and Golden Axe: The Duel. Its probably a good idea to avoid making a definite statement about Hellbringer or Dark Guld. In other words just assume they are different people as far as writing the article, but don't specifically state they are entirely different characters. Majestic Lizard 03:49, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Are any of the character's names under Golden Axe 3 actually official in terms of the English spelling? I've seen the katakana for those and the bulk of them are spelled totally wrong or are just flat out incorrect according to the manual scans I've seen.Rantinggeek 01:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the reasoning that these sounds were digitized from the Rambo and Conan screams? I would find it eternally more likely that they were taken from a stock sound library, perhaps the same clips that the Foley editors of those two movies used. --Badger Drink (talk) 13:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I like to use the arcade flyer for the main infobox, as it was the original version of the game, not the Euro megadrive port, which is what's depected. The very unusual problem here is that the Arcade flyer doesn't mention the game. Should we switch to  or just leave it be? - superβεεcat  22:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I've come across a contradiction within the article, and I was wondering if anyone could clear it up for me. The article tells us the following in the first section (emphasis added by me):
The player controls one of three Warriors. The first is a battle axe-wielding dwarf, Gilius Thunderhead, from the mines of Wolud, whose twin brother was killed by the soldiers of Death Adder. Another is a male barbarian, Ax Battler, wielding a two handed broadsword looking for revenge for the murder of his mother. The last is a long-sword-wielding Tyris Flare, an amazon, whose parents were both killed by Death Adder.
However, in the second section, the article says:
 The male warrior Ax, limited to 4 bars, is able to cast Earth spells. The dwarf Gilius, limited to 3 bars, casts lightning spells and the female warrior Tyris can cast devastating fire magic, but her most powerful spell costs 6 bars. To balance the differences in magic, each class has differences in the range of their main weapon. The Dwarf which has the least magic capacity has the longest range attacks. Conversely, the female warrior which has most magic, gets the shortest range attack. The male fighter is a balance between the two.
There is a rather obvious problem here: Longswords are longer than broadswords, hence the name. Additionally, broadswords are single-handed swords, making the description rather bizarre. Does the game's manual actually state that Ax uses a "two-handed broadsword", or is this an (incorrect) assumption that has been made? --Muna (talk) 17:19, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The Release dates are those of the Mega Drive, not games. That's impossible for japanese version (before the arcade version! amazing not?) and U.S. version (the release of Genesis is 14 august 1989 and the cartridge in Japan comes the 23 december 1989). The european's version is perhaps come in the same time as the console, I do not know.
I will change the release date for the japanese version. If you know the date for U.S. and EU. version, don't hesitate.

message: It is a widely known fact that the voice actors in this game were all death row inmates. I believe this is an interesting fact that should be put into the article.  Before I do so, I want to know if others support my potential edit.
