Kotaku’s classic gaming series, Retro Game Master, takes an in-depth look at one facet of the retro gaming world every week.  Kotaku began running a streaming translation of the Japanese show GameCenter every week, and the result is the Retro Game Master series.  Although the show has only been airing on Kotaku since June of 2011, the original Japanese program is in its eighth year.

If you are familiar with the series, you have probably seen challenges from many retro games from virtually all old school platforms.  Often times, the game cannot be beaten, but just about as often, you will see one of your favorite games “cleared”.  It took three days to reach the end of Ocarina of Time on N64.  Actraiser was a fail, however, and so it goes.

The final episode of the season will tackle one of the greatest coin operated conversions of all time…the fabled Golden Axe.  Check out the video to see if Arino the Kacho is able to complete this Sega Mega Drive gem or if Death Adder will get the last laugh.
