- ----< GOLDEN AXE >----
-
- The Golden Axe takes on a horrible new cast...
-
- The Death Adder and his evil forces have invaded the land,
- immprisoned the king and his daughter and stolen the legendary
- Golden Axe. Only the three heroes of Yuria have the power to
- stop the ruthless tyrant and regain the throne. Tyris-Flare,
- a beautiful and powerful amazon, has summoned her fire magic to
- eliminate the Adder and his orphan-making fiends. Gilius-Thunderhead
- rumbles and tumbles to the scene with his astonishing combination
- of lightning power and gymnastics skills. And the Axe Battler, who
- has a personal bone to pick with the evil Adder, has sharpened his
- giant sword for battle. *You* must choose which challenger to send
- into the dreaded path of the Death Adder.
-
- The once idyllic Eagle Island has been transformed into a real bird
- of prey, trapping the good Yurians in its infested feathers. Fearless
- Skeleton Swordsman slash through the mangy battlefield, hunting down
- Adder's enemies. Meanwhile, Twin Brutes and Lizard Women spread their
- horror in the once prosperous Turtle Village. The precocious Death
- Adder Jr. throws knots of electricity from the palace door, barring
- entrance to the stolen throne. Your weapons range from razor-sharp
- swords to curtains of fire. You can even joust with your foes on the
- back of a bizarrian - stolen from an un-saddled Adder fiend!
- Remember, one dose of magic can wipe away an acre of evil.
