Golden Axe is a side-scrolling action arcade game released by Sega for the Genesis in 1989
The game takes place in the fictional land of Yuria, a Conan the Barbarian-style high fantasy medieval world. An evil entity known as Death Adder has captured the King and his daughter, and holds them captive in their castle. He also finds the Golden Axe, the magical emblem of Yuria, and threatens to destroy both the axe and the royal family unless the people of Yuria accept him as their ruler.
The player controls one of three warriors. The first is a battle axe-wielding dwarf, Another is a male barbarian, The last is a long-sword-wielding female.
You Progress through the game by fighting through Death Adder's henchmen, including skeleton warriors, and knights. To your help the characters in their quest there is their ability to cast spells that hurt all enemies on the screen. The force of this magic depends on the number of "bars" of magic power currently available. The bars are filled by collecting blue 'magic potions' found throughout the game.
Various steeds are found in the game, which are known as bizarrians. These can be ridden when the enemy rider is knocked off. The least powerful steed is known as a 'Chicken-Leg',and the The more powerful dragon, which can shoot fireballs.
