Well, this is some good news!
Anyone else interested, and, if so, what platform. I want to get some good ol' fashioned dungeon delving in, and this is the only probable way I can do it with folks online. |

Yeah. It was a blatant Golden Axe ripoff, with the D&D logo and IP slapped (haphazardly) on it.

Decided to get it on both PC and X-Box. With a USB X-Box Controller so I can use that on both as well.
I'm just hoping I can play with folks here, as it'll be the closest I can RP with you guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |

Well it's good to see the D&D license is put to good use!
I mean it couldn't be used for something like Dark sun, or Planescape... or heavens forbid! Forgotten Realms where they didn't fuck up the mythos... *sigh* No wonder bioware gave the rights for Dragon Age to Green Ronin... |

Also I'm pretty sure that Golden Ax wasn't the only fantasy themed brawler ever made. |

It's a bad thing, because it wasn't reallt D&D. It was just a GA ripoff, with a bit of new paint slapped around, and a new logo.
Even at the time, they could have done something different, MORE D&D-ish. |

All things that golden ax did not have so I would not call it a golden axe rip off. |

It's more like "typical fantasy RPG of the day". *shrug* |

It had d&d character class with D&D class ability. The cleric has D&D cleric spell, the mage had D&D mage spell, the equipment you could find was D&D equipment, etc.
It's as much a Golden Axe rip-off as Golden-Axe was a Double Dragon rip-off with a fantasy theme slapped around and a new logo. And Double Dragon was already a rip-off of Kung-fu master, etc. |
