The force of this magic depends on the number of "bars" of magic power currently available.
The bars are filled by collecting blue 'magic potions' attained by kicking little sprites who then drop the potions.
These sprites appear during regular levels and during bonus stages in between levels.
The male warrior Ax is able to cast earth spells.
The dwarf Gilius, casts lightning spells and the female warrior Tyris casts fire magic.
Each character has a different number of maximum magic bars and varying ranges of attack.
Various steeds known as bizarrians are found in the game.
These can be ridden when the enemy rider is knocked off, or if one is found dormant.
The least powerful steed is known as the Cockatrice, which can be used to knock down enemies with a swipe of its tail.
The more powerful dragon, which can either shoot fireballs or breathe fire, is found later in the game.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Golden Axe for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Golden Axe to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This C64 release dates back to 1989.
