Relive the epic fantasy soundtrack of Sega's 1989 arcade legend Golden Axe!

Created by Makoto Uchida, Golden Axe defined the hack-and-slash beat 'em up genre, sending players on a perilous quest through Yuria to defeat the villainous Death Adder and reclaim the golden axe.

The iconic, atmospheric soundtrack was composed by Tohru Nakabayashi (Nacke) and You Takada. Utilizing the Yamaha YM2151 sound chip and Sega PCM, tracks like Wilderness, Turtle Village, and Death Adder perfectly set the stage for epic swordplay, magic spells, and riding mythical beasts.
