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.

Yes,yes I am interested,I'll be getting it for the either the 360 or the PC.

OH my GOD .. they ripped off Golden Axe !!!

Was thinking the very same thing. Definitely getting this for the PC

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.

I don't think they even reskinned the dwarf.

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...

This is a HD Remaster of two, 20-year old arcade games BTW folks, soon up for sale.

And this is a bad thing why? 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.

Lets see it had leveling ,treasure you could collect and use to buy new equipment and branching paths. All things that golden ax did not have so I would not call it a golden axe rip off.

Levelling and treasure-gathering is not really "D&D and nothing else". 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.

Yeah but I'm only old enough to remember fond times with Golden Axe !

albeit, accompanied with some REALLY bad times trying to pull off the special moves and jumping onto the dinosaur mount things !
... thus (from 30 seconds of a youtube clip) it is a blatant rip off of my entire childhood and I call it as such as is my right.

age dependant, YMMV

OK I'll agree with that but the game is still not a rip off of Golden Ax,more like typical "Brawler/beat em up arcade game of the day" Other wise Burger King is a rip off of McDonald's and Areosmith is a rip off of the Rolling stones.
