This Thursday Retro Game Master Takes On Golden Axe

This season’s Retro Game Master ends with a bang as the Kacho takes on… Golden Axe.

Released in 1989 by Sega for the arcade, this high fantasy side-scroller beat ’em up later made its way to a number of different consoles. In the game players take on the role of a dwarf, a barbarian or an amazon as they journey through the world on a quest to kill Death Adder.

The show goes live only on Kotaku at 8 p.m. eastern this Thursday, followed by more weekly episodes ā€œairingā€ on Kotaku at the same time and day through September. And unlike with television, these episodes will stick around on our site so you can watch them at your own leisure.

Game Center CX produced 15 seasons of gaming content in Japan, with Shinya Arino playing through dozens of Famicom, Super Famicom, PC Engine and Mega Drive games. These first U.S. airings of the episodes includes English captions for Arino and English dubbing for his off-camera announcer.
