The Tale of the Golden Axe

A long time ago in a land called Yuria, there was a very special axe that was kept in a castle. It had mystical powers, and shielded the Yurian people from evil. However, the enemy and nemesis of all people, the titan named Death-Adder, managed to acquire the Golden Axe and take it to his own castle.
Without the Axe, the people of Yuria had no protection against bandits. They were soon overrun, and feared for their very lives.

What they needed most was a valiant man to go and retrieve the Axe. That man, the one who would attempt to restore peace and safety to Yuria, was the seasoned warrior known as Tarik. He carried a giant sword, and was well known for his skill at using it in battle. The people prayed for his health and
well-being as he set off on their behalf.

Before leaving Yuria, Tarik visited the Temple. The priest, knowing full well that Tarik’s battle skills wouldn’t be enough for him to succeed, much less survive, gave Tarik a choice of 3 Magic Powers. The God of the Earth provided Earth Magic, the God of Fire offered his Fire Magic, and from the God of Thunder came Thunder Magic. Tarik made his choice— a very
closely guarded secret. The priest also granted Tarik the power of Revival. Should he be struck down in battle, he may revive himself thrice in order to continue on his Quest to return the Golden Axe to its rightful owners. Tarik thanked the kind priest, and began his perilous journey.

You are the warrior Tarik, the one in whom the people of Yuria have placed all their confidence and hopes for the future. You mustn’t let them down! Use all of your physical prowess, and your Magic, and show Death-Adder that good always triumphs over evil! Remember, though, even the Gods can bestow only so much power unto you, so it’s really in your hands now— will you retrieve the Golden Axe, or will you perish at the hands of an evil titan?



**Trivia**

Golden Axe is a side-scrolling arcade beat 'em up game released in 1989 by Sega. Makoto Uchida was the primary developer of the game and also was responsible for the creation of Altered Beast. The game places the player in control of one of three warriors each bent on revenge against the vile dictator Death Adder. Death Adder has taken over the once peaceful land of Yuria and murdered their friend and partner, Alex. Several ports of the game were created, most notably for the Mega Drive/Genesis and Master System. Several sequels followed.

The game focuses on three heroes. One of them is a battle-axe-wielding dwarf, Gilius Thunderhead, from the mines of Wolud, whose twin brother was killed by the soldiers of Death Adder. Another is a male barbarian, Ax Battler, wielding a two-handed broadsword, looking for revenge for the murder of his mother. The last is a longsword-wielding amazon, Tyris Flare, whose parents were killed by Death Adder.
