One or two players can choose from a limited assortment of characters and match skill and steel with the minions of the evil Death Adder, who has taken over the kingdom. Ported from the acclaimed series of coin-op games.

This is the first of the legendary Sega platform fighters that were the rage of the arcades during their day. While the Golden Axe games can't hold a candle to the Streets of Rage series, there's still enough in here to keep the average gamer content for a long time. Good graphics, decent sound, and better than average gameplay which gets rather involved at times.
