I had these two games when I was a kid for Sega Genesis. When I was playing a video game back then I would be playing these about 90% of the time. I'll try to recite here of what's in my memory at the moment,but keeping it my mind all these years is kind of hard. I have tried again and again looking these up myself but to every time no avail.

The first one I know was a hack/slash medieval type, you were a tough muscled guy with a sword. The graphics were ok for the Genesis at the time. I remember you had to face a flying eyeball at one point and then a wizard (I'm positive about the eyeball not so positive about the wizard). You found chests every now and then if I'm not mistaken.

The second game was a bit odd. Imagine if you're playing F-Zero for the SNES but instead you're sorta playing from the side of the race track and everything's all blocky like and it goes just a bit slower. But it's not so much of a racing game either it's more shumpy. And if i'm not mistaken the bosses look like wierd Transformers.

If you can find these games for me, i thank you so much. If they're not super rare these days I will go out and buy these again.

I'm guessing Golden Axe for the first game and for the second game, it might be Truxton?

The second game sounds like Viewpoint.

understatement,That is the game! I haven't looked at how much it's goin for but if it's still a fair price, i'm lookin to buy it complete. Let the search begin!

I'm fairly certain the second game wasn't Golden Axe because if my memory serves me right, the character model was bigger. If it's coming back to me correctly you were in this room the door locked behind you and you were stuck in the room with the eyeball. Don't really remember that much of this game...

I think maybe I'm starting to doubt myself because I'm looking up all of those game in that list and nothing comes back to me like Viewpoint.Viewpoint came back in an instant and I knew it was that.

Maybe I should just look through all of the hack n' slash games for Sega Genesis and it'll hopefully catch my eye.

The Immortal, maybe?

Hmm, the first game is starting to sound like a Zelda type game more than a Beat-'Em-Up maybe Landstalker, doors lock behind you until you kill everything in the room and some of the first enemies are clear blobs.

At about 0:35 is the first enemy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN3PC0KKhjA&NR=1)

Yeah, Cadash is an awesome game. I hear the TG-16 version is better though.

I just bought a complete copy of Viewpoint off ebay last month for $8. It shouldn't be too expensive. I received Cadash in the box in a lot a long time ago, but I want to either find and buy the manual or sell this copy and re-buy it complete.
