Line 14:
''Golden Axe'' was ported to various platforms and inspired a series of sequels and spin-offs on various Sega platforms. The full list of games in the series are as followed.
* ''Golden Axe'' - 1989 (Arcade, [[Master System]], [[Mega Drive|Mega Drive/Genesis]], [[Turbo Grafx 16]], [[Wonder Swan]], PC)
* ''Golden Axe Warrior'' - 1991 (Master System) . A ''Zelda''-style action RPG with a few innovations not present in its inspiration.
* ''Ax Battler: A Golden Axe Legend'' - 1991 ([[Game Gear]]) . Another action RPG, but this one uses a side-view battle format similar to ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II the Adventure of Link]]''.
Line 70:
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: The weapon of choice for Ax Battler and later heroes.
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: There's several different [[Powerup Mount|Bizzarians]] the player can mount throughout the series.
** In the original game, the player can ride Chickenlegs (bird-lizard creatures with spiked tail) and Dragons (who come in blue and red variants). The fireball-spitting red dragons are pretty much a [[Game Breaker]].
** ''Revenge of Death-Adder'' added giant scorpions and mantises as well. The scorpions and mantises each come in two colors, one color fighting exclusively with its claws, the other using a special attack (breathing fire for the mantis, an electric sting for the scorpion).
* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: Barn's scimitar can hit about 1.5 times as far as the sprite suggests.
