Comments and reviews
This was an unusual platformer from back in 1984. The controls are similar to those of Tron the arcade game. A flight stick style joystick and a unique Spinner. You turn the spinner left or right to position you sword or shield. You pull up on it to cast a spell and push down to pick up an item.
The Graphics were very good for the time. The game play was hard but fun once you got used to the controls. It was a fairly rare arcade machine.
There is an exploit where you can position yourself in a certain spot, with your sword aimed just right and the monsters will endlessly keep attacking with no risk to you. I never used it, that was for clowns who couldn't get a decent score by actually playing the game.
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
