Choose VGA.
Which version of DosBox are you using?

Using a joystick I can't figure out how to use magic? The Readme says Rightshift which makes no sence since I can't use the keyboard while using the joystick?

[_r.u.s.s.]

did you try hitting any buttons on your joystick?=)

OK...that was a stupid Newbie question by me.

To do magic hit your right shift key, whether you use a joystick or not.

Pretty cool game but I must improve my battle moves to get farther than the 4th map. "Charging" like a football player is a good tactic vs. the giants and the dragon riders to knock them down.

I still own this game too...
:wub: I love the dwarf. He makes me giggle.

Actually, dwarf has strongest attack and weakest magic. Amazon is oposit, while warrior is somewhere in the middle. At least, this was the way in arcade vesrions.

Well, in PC game every character has the same attack - every hit takes 1/4 of the whole health bar. The only thing that the dwarf has - is the reach! The axe reaches much further then the swords, and jump+hit is made easier.

The thing with the long jump is solved with "running+jumping", so one need but to stand in middle of the map, press two times "->" and then jump. It's no bug, but it did give me some trouble some... let's say... 15 years ago Anyway, Goldaxe is one of the greatest games ever! Still playing it in Linux (with Dosbox)

How in the hell do you fight the dragons that shoot fireball you cant even get close to them?

Same as anything. Stay north or south of it's attack plane and approach only when close enough to strike.

Anyone have the control buttons for Golden Axe? Special Moves buttons?
