oh god, that was so great (well golden Axe II at least, that was the one I had)
some games I suddenly remember because of this thread:
revenge of shinobi: I never got to finnish this game, Everytime I had to fight the end boss, either my ninja got killed, or the girlfriend he was suposed to rescue.
shaddow...something (can't remember the name): the shinobi guy, but now was acompanied by a white dog. mannaged to kill the end boss once.
Populous: my friend once rented this from the video store for his snes. loved that game.
Centurio: for pc the first strategy game I ever played, verry addictive. there was an option of negotiating alliances with the other nations, and if you succeeded in talking cleopatra into allying with you, you could end up in bed with her (if you said the right lines) that succeeded once
Larry: and his great quest to get laid, that was a brilliant game
Herzog Zwei IMO one of the coolest games ever for the sega megadrive. the only strategy game I was more addicted to was Red Alert
EDIT:
can't believe I forgot about
Civilization: my friends and I used to play this non stop, 6 of us, sitting behind that one geeky friend we all had, who was the only guy you knew, that had a pc, and you and your friends would hang out with him even tough none of you liked him. while he was doing the moves and controling the game, the 6 of us would tell him what to do, what to build, what to train, come up with war strategies etc...
