Golden Axe (c) 1989 Sega.

Golden Axe is a classic sideways scrolling beat-em-up set in a traditional fantasy world, in which between one and three warriors take up arms to save the King from the evil Death Adder, who wields the titular Golden Axe. The three different player characters are an Amazonian warrior named Tyris Flare, a barbarian hero called Ax Battler, and a viking dwarf by the name of Gilius Thunderhead. Each hero uses a different kind of magic : Ax Battler uses earth magic, Tyris uses fire magic, and Gilius uses lightning magic. In addition : each player character also carries a different weapon : Tyris and Ax Battler both use swords while Gilius uses a battle axe smaller in size than the titular Golden Axe, which Death Adder uses.

Each character in the game has a special attack move that is activated by pressing both JUMP and ATTACK at the same time. Also, double-tapping the joystick right or left will cause the player to charge and smash into opponents. At certain points during the game, players will come across certain creatures (such as dragons) which, once their original riders have been knocked from the saddle, can be mounted and used against the enemy.

At certain points during a level, as well as at the end of each level, thieves appear carrying a sack on their back. Players can hit a thief causing him to drop either a magic potion or food.

Once the game has been beaten, the ending will show a view of an arcade where the characters 'jump out' of the game, run out of the arcade and down the street.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* Two Player Health Restoration : If a player's health is at zero (no life bar visible) when the bonus level/intermission ends, s/he will begin the next level at full health (three life bars). So if you CAREFULLY hack one another, you can restore your health. You should allow the other character to recover after each swipe, otherwise you may throw or kick and actually kill the other player.
