Callinicus I just realized that there is actually a readme file, buried under a million of similar ones, although it is somewhat confusing.

I played Golden Axe but trying to use the default keys is a nightmare, not to mention that combos are virtually impossible (at least for DOSBox).

Of course remapping DOSBox keys (as already suggested above) is a solution, but not the easier to implement.
Remapping never worked properly for me (at Linux).

Well...I finally played it at MAME. Configuring keys is a piece of cake and as a bonus, it offers save states too (and cheats for the really desperate)!

Guys, THANKS AGAIN for your help!!!

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the video!


Look at what changes stika made in the game Golden Axe as shown in the video above.

Would it be possible to summon Goku and Shenlong to destroy the enemies? Bah, I hope not, because I am not much of a fan of the series.



Ka... me... ha... me.. ha!!! After 10 hours...

Smiling Spectre Ah, it seems, I missed two buttons (sorry, I never played Golden Axe, actually).

So for left player Tab=Jump, left Shift=Magic.

For right player jump is 0, and magic is right Shift.

They are not intersected as far as I see.

Hmm, but maybe you stumbled in famous Matrix bug? See, on some (older, I believe) keyboards the keys are detected by square matrix, just as coordinates. "3rd up, second left contact pair is Q". It works perfectly for one letter, and somewhat circumvented for two, but three and more simultaneously pressed keys can trigger totally wacky combinations.

If it is matrix, it's not the game bug - it's hardware keyboard bug. Change keyboard then.

Callinicus Oh I see!
Now I got it right!

Well, the square combination works (movement and jump and hit). What didn't work for me (at DOS port) is the key for doing magic for the 2nd player.

It's not a key. It's figure.

(It's quite tedious to list all nine - ten with magic - buttons. I thought, it's enough to mention "square" pattern: Q is upper left, W is up, E is upper right, D is right, etc. Didn't work, it seems?

Callinicus THANKS Smiling Spectre!

True! (although I'm clueless what the square key is).

What puzzles me is what is the Magic key for the 2nd player.
When I'm running the DOS port (at DOSBox or DOSEmu) the 2nd player activates magic when the right key is pressed (although the same key moves the 1st player).
Seems to be a bug to me.

The 1 player mode seems to work flawlessly.

Anyway! I tried also the MAME port and the 2 players mode works as expected.

Smiling Spectre Square (that is not very square on current keyboards) from Q to C with S as Fire works for one player, Square from 7 to 3 with 5 as Fire - for second. Or vise versa.

Callinicus Hi guys!

Does someone knows the 2nd player buttons?
You can choose 2 players from menu -> choose the 1st -> OK -> roll the remaining 2 characters and then what?
How can you choose the one you selected?

Mystvan I remember that I played this game in the arcade, but unfortunately I forgot almost everything about the game.

I love the Medieval theme in Perspective Platform

Well, back to the past. Hello, Marty.

By the way, stika posted something interesting here The Dos port of Golden Axe lets you play as a Dragon riding a Dragon.
