Descpription:
The player controls a gladiator/knight named Great
Guaranos as he walks through a castle. Moving the joystick left and right moves
Great Guaranos left and right, and up and down is used to position Great
Guaranos's shield. The game's three buttons correspond to a high, medium, and
low attack with Great Guaranos's sword. Gladiator consists of 4 Stages.
The first level is the 'Underground Chamber', 2nd is the 'Brick Corridor', 3rd is
the 'Roof Top' stage, and the 4th stage is called the 'Mysterious 4-D World'.
Your reward for completing the game is to enter the "Treasure Place".
Gameplay is split between two modes; in the "obstacle" mode, Great Guaranos
walks forward, and the player must use the sword and shield to defend him from
bats, fireballs, arrows, shuriken, and other flying hazards. The "obstacle" mode is
broken up by a "fight" mode, in which Great Guaranos must fight against another,
similarly-armored knight. In both modes, an un-defended hit to Great Guaranos
knocks off part of his armor (his helmet for a high hit, his breastplate for a medium
hit, and his leggings for a low hit), and a subsequent hit to the same area kills him.
