The Power of Vintage

Golden Axe by Sega

Golden Axes was originally developed for arcade machines (System 16B hardware) and was soon successfully ported to computer systems and home consoles...

⚔️ A Timeless Arcade Classic

Released in 1989 by Sega, Golden Axe is a classic beat 'em up video game. It was originally developed for arcade machines (System 16B hardware) and was soon successfully ported to computer systems and home consoles. Only the Sega Mega Drive received the full sequels to the game (I, II, and III).

  • The game was designed by Makoto Uchida, who also created Altered Beast the previous year.
  • Its success led to the development of a franchise, including multiple sequels and various spin-offs.
  • Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS versions were released later, in 1990, by Virgin Software.

✍️ The Story

The story is set in the fictional realm of Yuria, a high-fantasy medieval world reminiscent of Conan the Barbarian. The villainous Death Adder has kidnapped the King of Yuria and his daughter, imprisoning them in their own castle. He also seizes the Golden Axe, a powerful magical symbol of the kingdom, threatening to destroy both it and the royal family unless the people submit to his rule.
