Play Golden Axe Amiga Online

Golden Axe came to the Amiga in 1989, published by Virgin Mastertronic. It was a solid port of Sega's arcade hit, fitting right into the platform's library of action games at the time. You picked your hero and just dove in, no fuss.

You control one of three warriors: a barbarian, an amazon, or a dwarf, each with their own weapon and magic strength. Your goal is to battle through screen after screen of enemy soldiers and monstrous beasts to rescue the king and princess. You slash with your weapon, collect magic potions to unleash screen-clearing spells, and even ride creatures that breathe fire or tail whip foes. The pacing is brisk, the difficulty fair but persistent, especially when dealing with enemy knights who block and counter. It feels straightforward and satisfying, a classic beat 'em up that holds up because the action stays focused and immediate.
