Golden Axe II

Golden Axe II is a side-scrolling beat'em up game classic published and developed by SEGA. It's the sequel to the popular Golden Axe, which is already part of the OnLive PlayPack.

The Lord of Darkness, Dark Guld, has arisen again. Wielding the famous Golden Axe, he has destroyed entire countries with his evil clan, forcing the world into chaos.

Once again, three brave warriors stand up to face the oppressors. One is Ax-Battler, the fierce barbarian; the second is Tyris-Flare, the ferocious Amazon; and the third is Gilius Thunderhead, the fearless dwarf. They won't rest until the Golden Axe is returned to its rightful place.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog is a sidescrolling platform video game classic published by SEGA and the first title developed by SEGA's Sonic Team. It is the first installment in SEGA's flagship Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game was released in 1991 in North America, Europe, and Japan. It was an enormous critical and commercial success for SEGA, creating a popular, multiple decade franchise, and propelling the SEGA Genesis (Mega Drive) to widespread popularity.

The evil scientist Dr. Eggman (aka Dr. Robotnik) has snatched the poor animals of South Island and turned them into robots.

Only one hero can defeat Dr. Eggman and rescue the animals from his vile clutches - it's the super-cool hedgehog with the blue spiky hair, Sonic!
