What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Golden Axe (Astro City Mini)

March 28th, 2025

My lack of pep today is severe, so I'm posting during my lunch break to stay awake. Last night, I just played another 20 credits on my Astro City Mini, putting the first 12 of them into Golden Axe. I'd never played this much before, but it wasn't bad! I got about halfway through level 3 before it stopped letting me continue, which seemed strange for an arcade game. I could have just pushed the wrong button, too, but I was playing this very badly. It was fun to ride fire breathing dinosaur lookin' dragons, though, and the attacks were satisfying, too! Playing badly is fine if it's fun.

I still feel bad about how many deaths by collision I'm causing the Space Harrier guy, though! I did feel like I was getting the hang of it last night, but stationary obstacles posed much more of a danger to me than enemy fire. Maybe in a few days, I'll be able to guide him through the trees without knocking him out.
