Golden Axe was an awesome video game in the eighties where basically you plundered and battled people in a medevil setting with axes and so forth. You can pretty much destroy everything in your path and now this game is available for the iPhone. More of these great classic video games of the eighties need to be brought through mobile as most games put out in applications is garbage and not worth the time of day for the developer or player. This excellent scrolling game is highly entertaining and the graphics back in the late eighties were pretty great at the time. What was also cool about this game was the ability to ride beasts and I think it was one of the first games I saw that added this element to the game.
the cast of characters and enemies you fought were numerous and very impressive and enlightening experience compared to the usual early cute games of this era. This was a game about death and reaching a goal and it will translate pretty nice to modern times and an application for your phone. each character had their unique set of attributes in kicking ass with or without a weapon. As some internet web sites will point out... As had already been the case with Sega’s Altered Beast and Dynamite Düx, Golden Axe kept away from the typical modern-day urban setting of so many other beat-‘em-ups, instead taking place in the fantasy kingdom of Yuria, the three playable characters being dwarf Gilius Thunderhead, barbarian Ax Battler, and amazon Tyris Flare, their quest being to kill the evil tyrant Death Adder (after killing several hundred of his minions first, of course). Sega really got it good with this game despite the complicated storyline that few paid attention when playing and just wanted to get out there and slice away in about the closest thing in gaming at the time to the brutality of medieval warfare. This game alone almost makes me want to get out and git a IPhone.
