Only the brave or
foolish enter the Southern Plateau, a wasteland where little grows but where
evil is said to thrive. This is also the home of Zoma. It is said he uses the
life energies of captured travelers to sustain himself in this bleak
environment.
Zoma served as an
advisor to the king of Lustan, a kingdom which bordered the plateau in the
ancient days. Zoma's lust for power finally forced the king to banish his
former minister to the plateau. Through the centuries, Zoma has been content
to live off of the energies of his prisoners. However, the announcement of the
Golden Axe has stirred his lust for power once again. Zoma has stated that he
will rule the continent "without mercy" when he wins.

Zoma is the obvious
"freak" of Golden Axe: The Duel. You almost want to write him
off as a typical run-of-the-mill bad guy sorcerer, and in some ways he
is. As a fighting game character though, he actually delivers with some cool
mannerisms and interesting moves. His creepy air-walking maneuver, spinning
staff move, and super move with those crazy snake-like projectiles were pretty
memorable. Not to mention he can turn his opponents into a freakin' toad (and
they can still fight). Pretty good stuff from Sega back then.
My respect for the design increased even more when I discovered Zoma's official
character artwork
(badass artwork right there). He's actually a cool looking character that stands
the test of time. I can remember some much much lamer "sorcerer
designs" from back in the 90's.
