SEGA Genesis Collection — Golden Axe II | PlayStation 2 (Throwback Thursdays #15)

I have fond memories of playing the original _Golden Axe_ on the Genesis / Mega Drive (thanks to the "SEGA 6-Pak"), but I never did play any of the sequels (despite having _this_ collection for years)!

It's time for Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead to ride again…

*Nᴏᴛᴇ:* So, I _did_ manage to beat the game, and after the credits finished I attempted to save the data and exit… only for it to exit back to the PS2 memory card / disc browser menu! Now, no matter what I do, it won't read the disc! XÞ
