Golden Axe III – The once-peaceful
kingdom so familiar to fans of the original Golden Axe is under threat once
again, as the Prince of Darkness has stolen the invaluable Golden Axe, taken
over the kingdom and rendered all its warriors harmless thanks to an evil curse.
One warrior, however, breaks free from the curse and must defeat the Prince and
regain the Golden Axe to save the kingdom. In this one- or two-player action
game, play as a giant, a panther, or a sword-wielding human and fight your way
to victory!
