I grew up playing this with my siblings on the family computer, I would love to replay it but I can't find a version that runs at all on modern computers. It would be an actual dream to see this re-released on GoG
It's a Gauntlet clone, but a good one and full of charm. Loved it as a kid, it was one of my fav monolith games, along with Shogo, Captain Claw, and BLOOD. Back then i firmly believed the barbarian was actually voiced by Arnie himself
Only had the chance to play its demo when I was a kid and read it in a local magazine (I think the demo came with the magazine with its CD of extra gaming contents), but never the actual game.
It would be good to try out its full version and see how it ends, how its atmosphere and music progresses or see the GOG version of its stuff as extras.
I also would love to see this game and 'Captain Claw' (which I owned on a CD back in the days, but might need a little revamp for modern environment) to be available.
A dim but persistant memory, I only got to play the game's demo after buying Rage of Mages and Rage of Mages II from a bargin bin. Along with Gruntz, the Monolith Productions' sample was carried in those two CDs. While I was not able to play the full games, they left enough of a mark for them to come back to me every so often. RoM I & II are on this site, so it hopefully shouldn't be too hard for GOG to get these other games.
There is no specific event or sit down that makes me remember how much I love this game, it is the countless hours of watching my older brother play on a kitchen chair behind him; or playing it myself and absolutely loving every minute of very corny, very 90s dialogue from the characters. I was asking him today about "that game we used to play on pc" at first me mentioned Gauntlet, which is close, but after digging, finding, and telling him about Get Medieval he almost shot out of his chair and looked it up right away
PLEASE help get this title on GOG, absolute classic

Duke Nukem IIDuke Nukem is back.

Golden AxeProgress is made through the game by fighting through Death Adder's henchmen, including men armed with clubs and maces, skeleton warriors, and knights. Players are able to attack using their weapon, jump and cast spells that hurt all enemies on the screen. 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.Action Fantasy

BattlezoneBattlezone is an arcade game from Atari released in November 1980. It displays a wireframe view (using vector graphics rather than raster graphics) on a horizontal black and white (with green and red sectioned color overlay) vector monitor. Due to its novel gameplay and look, this game was very popular for many years. Throughout the 1980s, Battlezone was ported to several home computer systems (usually on the Atarisoft label), including the Apple II, the Commodore 64, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and the Atari XEGS. The Atari ST port contains large parts of the original 6502 code which is emulated in real time. An Atari 2600 port was also released, but has colored raster graphics due to limitations and the view is behind the tank rather than inside it.Action Warfare
