Descpription:
A barbarian hero jumps and fights his way through a variety of colourful,enemy-packed
levels in this spiritual successor to the Capcom classic Ghosts 'n Goblins.
The sprawling, eight-way scrolling levels are packed with hidden
bonuses to encourage and reward exploration.
Most of these bonuses are in the form of 'Zenny coins'; currency that
allows the player to buy such items as an upgrade to their weapons and
armour, keys for treasure chests, and anti-poisoning potions.
Special items that reveal coins, upgraded armour, or simply bonus
points may be found by attacking certain walls.
The Japanese version has a few changes that makes it more challenging than
its American counterpart. Several of the falling rock" obstacles were added
in this version. Additionally, the prices of many of the items are higher.
But perhaps the biggest difference is related to fighting the later bosses
(the 3 dragons and the dual sword wielding foes at the end of stages 5 and 7).
In the American version, it is possible to duck and avoid taking damage
when the bosses touches the player's character as long as one of their
projectiles doesn't hit him. In the Japanese version,
the player is not able to do this.
