Christ, #VGMWednesday just rolls in so quickly these days.

Today, I want to show a game that hijacked my attention, and I spent a good couple of days chipping away at.

Golden Axe Warrior for #MasterSystem is a weird game, a top-down adventure RPG very very VERY similar to the NES Zelda.

It's a really good time, honestly! Even if the magic management can be a pain and some enemies are just the worst to fight... Just like Zelda!

So, what track am I going to showcase? Well, I was going to go for the Magic Room theme, which is very Golden Axe, but I figured I'd go with the 『Overworld』theme as it is the one you will probably be hearing the most.

Graciously, in my opinion, it's a solid track and provides a suitable backing to wandering aimlessly around trying to stumble into the next dungeon or searching for secret rooms!

The game is worth playing if you enjoy classic Zelda, as it is a great alternative!

Today we reveal a very early prototype of The Lion King for #SEGA #GameGear, dated April 1993. Glitchy, incomplete, and packed with placeholders (plus Lemmings music?!). A fascinating look at this work-in-progress Disney title.

With thanks to Mark Greenshields for allowing the preservation.
