... adequately. LONGEVITY Golden Axe has passed the test of time, remaining as fun and addictive as it presumably was in 1989. Limitations of the time and format, such as the tiny playable area and repetition of the same four or five enemies in different coloured shirts throughout, now seem forgivably cute and nostalgic, not to mention the fact that this game can be obtained second-hand for next to no money at all from eBay or private sellers, or emulated for free. The recent obsession with nostalgia on consoles such as Micros...more

Golden Axe: Taste the Power of My Sword (977 words)

In the golden age of video game arcades, scrolling beat-em-ups loosely based on Masters of the Universe archetypes and Tolkienian fantasy lands earned companies like Konami millions from impressionable eighties youths’ pocket money. Perhaps the lord of all these ridiculously similar semi-violent offerings was Sega’s ‘Golden Axe,’ flawlessly converted to home computer format for Commodore’s Amiga 600. PREMISE Golden Axe is the story of three heroes, seeking out the evil knight Death Adder for revenge and plunder. One or two players rely on the characters’ brute strength, fighting tactics, magic powers and helpful monster transport as they ...

This game brings back some excellent memories of trips shopping to buy new joysticks and was probably responsible for the death quite a few of them ! This is really good old fashioned gameplay that I don't think we'll ever see again . Golden Axe on the Amiga was a conversion of the arcade game of the same name - and for a change the conversion improves on the original ( minus the loading times ) . The game follows you (and a friend) in the role of one of three warriors travelling through a mystical side scrolling land to defeat the evil that is Death Adder . Death Adder being the kind of guy he is has been torturing the locals and each of the 3 ...

Ahhh this one brings back memories. They used to have the arcade amchine version of this in a small little outhouse shed at the bottom of a pub in my old home town as a kid. We used to sneak in through the trees at the back and go in there and play the games until someone would eventually rat on us and the landlord would come and chase us out - this was a regular thing, but I think we were his biggest patrons in terms of these machines. Golden Axe was one of the games they had there along with Double Dragon, Spyhunter and Outrun, all of which I later purchased for the Amiga...well had bought for me for Christmas one year by my unwitting parents...like they would ever ...
