Keith and I also tried out Golden Axe II, but it was clear from the outset that Keith just wasn't interested in this one. Luckily, Mrs. Keith was interested enough in the three-move game to accompany me through five levels or so. We got some sort of game-ending message about how we needed to play on a harder difficulty to unlock the final level, but I'm calling bullshit on that. We beat this game by the skin of our teeth, Danielle out of continues and me clinging to my last life when the apparently-not-quite-final boss fell. Consider it beaten!
Unfortunately, Golden Axe II did away with my two favorite parts of Golden Axe in the elf-dwarfs with potion sacks and the fire-breathing dinosaurs, and nothing noteworthy was added. Here's a rare example of a Genesis game failing to live up to its own predecessor. Yeesh.
