Heh, yeah. That sounds like what she's talking about. And you could ride dinosaurs and shit. I remember playing that in the arcade.

I didn't own the actual game, but I owned the 6-Pak compilation for Genesis, which had Golden Axe on it, along with Streets of Rage, Columns, Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic, and Super Hang-On.
