What the fuck is this "magic sword" game? I've never heard of it until now, so that probably means it blows. Golden Axe FTW!!!

I'll go with Golden Axe too. Golden Axe in single player may look dull because it's not very deep, but I used to play it with a cousin and it was glorious. Sega really should revive it (I even think that Beast Rider was not as bad as the reviews made it out to be; it was definitely a budget title, but not a terrible one).

I doubt that modern Sega even remembers that they made this game. |

I'm not a fan of either but at least in Golden Axe I can pick what character to play as, in Magic Sword I have to play as the main character and rescue different followers that mimic my movements. Sure, there are several different followers to rescue, so there is variety, but I'd rather play as them myself directly than play as the same character with a bloody mime following me around, it's like Tails in Sonic 2 on Mega Drive only even worse because these mimes can die so I have to find and rescue another one to get some assistance, at least Tails comes back if he dies.

That is a great point Armored Core Raven. They completely removed the multiplayer aspect of the game for the Super Nintendo version, so you cannot longer do that and you just have to go on your own dealing with everything yourself. I also don't like that about Sonic 2 I definitely understand what you mean there. |

Do you guys even videogames?  So, I voted for Magic Sword, obviously. Then you guys are going to question me, the biggest Golden Axe fan around, "WHY?!", right? Ok, not everyone, I bet...My issue with those specific versions is that while both are arcade classics ported to 16-bit consoles, Magic Sword retained what was important in its SNES port while Golden Axe for the Genesis didn't. After spending enough time with the arcade version of Golden Axe I can't possibly see myself satisfied with the Sega CD version of it, let alone the Mega Drive one; character frames, music and depth were compromised in the latter. Here's just one example of how Golden Axe was made super shallow for the home port: you can just run and jump kick everyone to beat the whole game without fault, and while most people know Golden Axe for that, it's just not how it happens in the arcade version. So if I had to pick one to play now I'd definitely go for Magic Sword. That one still plays closer to the arcade version.

spidershinobi - I'll keep my Golden Axe vote, but that was a good reasoning.
