One of the most essential tools is that you can control the direction you throw enemies. Use this to knock down nearby foes and do extra damage.

The downward stab is the strongest move, though predictably harder to land.

Enemies can and will fall into pits with little effort. Just don't do what I did and leave yourself open to getting knocked into that same pit.

You can't have a Golden Axe game without impressive magic effects, like this dragon scorching everyone.

Golden Axe 2 is a fine entry in the Sega Genesis series. A bit of a learning curve here, as you'll spend an inordinate amount of time "leading" adversaries around just to create an opportunity to land a hit. Throw enemies at their buddies or into pits whenever possible.

Commission

A full page piece of artwork of the Final Fantasy VII main cast illustrated in a cinematic movie poster form, used for the article commemorating it smash success and popularity

While digging into the EGM 1998 Buyer's Guide, I came across this gorgeous piece of Final Fantasy VII artwork - voted Best RPG of 1997 by the mag and its readers.

Love how cinematic and vibrant it is 💜

A top-down RPG. To left, a depiction of a village. To right, headshots and statistics for party members Trelain, Junara, Mahmud, Thal'Kan, Lucina, and Suela, all of which are some combination of blue, yellow, and grey. Bottom left are the movement buttons and a Help button. Bottom center are various controls.

Some Lord of the Rings new paper minis from Chris Schweizer! Obviously, to me, this is sickos.jpg.

On this day in 1985, TSR published DL1: Dragons of Despair for #Dungeons&Dragons. This introduced the Dragonlance setting, which spawned dozens other game supplements and nearly 200(!) novels over the years.
