Karnov

             

              Manufacturer: Data East
              Year: 1987

Descpription: The game puts the bulging muscled, fire-breathing, ex-circus strongman
east-Russian hero on a quest through 9 different levels to search for treasures.

However, between him and the treasures were several horrendous monsters, including sword
wielding monks, jinn, foot hopping giant fish and ostrich-riding skeleton warriors.

Players can make Karnov walk, jump and shoot his way through these levels
and find special items that will help him on his way. He also can collect
red orbs with which he can upgrade up to 3 fireballs at a time.

Each level contains a variety of strange enemies, such as gargoyles,
rock creatures, and strong men, which Karnov must destroy or avoid.

When he reaches the end of a level he usually has to face one or more powerful enemies
which he must defeat to beat the level and receive a new piece of a treasure map.

At the end of the game he must face a powerful boss
often called "The Wizard" and collect the treasure.
