Was there a tavern or grocery store in America that DIDN’T feature a Golden Axe cabinet in 1989? Of course, this barbarian was also popular on tons upon tons of consoles, and virtually every home gaming system available in the good old days featured a version of the Golden Axe. Despite its replacement by bigger, badder cabinets, fans were disappointed when it was removed from arcades and many turned to the consoles to get their G.A. fix.

Today, it is still possible to get the golden oldie fix of Golden Axe. Fan made and remastered as Golden Axe Myths, this fantasy fighting game is free to play and available for download here. It offers all of the same wonderful side scrolling action as the original, but also has some new content. It will only be a matter of time, in all likelihood, before SEGA crushes its availability, similar to the fate of other titles, such as Streets of Rage Remake.
