If Conan had a bad day and took it out on a few dozen goblins, you'd get something close to Axe of Rage. This 1989 DOS hack-n-slash isn't exactly subtle—you're a barbarian, there’s an evil warlord, and everything must be cleaved in two. The animations might remind you of a flipbook made by an angry teenager, but there's charm in its awkward brutality. Combat feels like a drunken arm-wrestling match with your keyboard, but if you survive, you’ll feel like a true digital warrior. Or at least a sore-fingered one.
