Golden Axe — About this game
Death Adder has stolen the Golden Axe, leaving Yuria at the mercy of his followers. In this Master System adventure you control Tarik, a lone swordsman who chooses earth, fire or thunder magic before setting out. Sword attacks change with distance, and a dash opens up shoulder attacks and longer jumps. Collect magic potions and ride captured beasts to handle enemies on the road to Death Adder's castle.
