Sega's classic 1989 arcade beat 'em up, Golden Axe, is set to receive an unofficial port to the Neo Geo by a dedicated fan developer, h0ffman.

According to a recent social media post, h0ffman has already made significant progress in porting the game. The footage includes parts of the game's title screen, character bios, and high scores.

h0ffman explains his motivation for undertaking these unofficial ports on social media: 'I ordered a MisterPi from @TakiUdon_. While waiting for it to arrive I wondered how hard it would be to disassemble an arcade game back to source. Half randomly picked Shinobi, classic game and runs on a 68000. DIsassembled most of it in about a week and wondered what to do with it.'

No release date has been given, but h0ffman says that progress is 'a lot quicker' than he had anticipated.

Have you played any of h0ffman's previous ports? What do you think of his work?
