At my local arcade back around 1992 or so, they had a tournament for this game. I won it by beating the game without dying (one credit) as the Ninja. 2nd place was a guy who played the Priestess and died once. Got two movie tickets and a token case containing 10 bucks worth of tokens. Good times.

i was able to beat the game with one credit, using mage, recovering two elixirs, usually i required one, but sometimes two. was never able to clear the game with one credit and without use the elixir. except when i played with a friend using the priestess :)
@PaladinLarecАй бұрын
@aaaaaaaaooooooo it wasn't at once. The manager watched you play and recorded deaths. He told me who led (priestess with 2) and I said shit, I can beat it deathless as the ninja. And he watched me do it. I still play on mame and my turbografx

Because im playing it on my retro handheld and its on pc engine, and this one looks graphically better than the one im playing.
@Bro-cx2jc9 ай бұрын
There are three versions total. Your version, which is probably the best one (though I haven't played it myself), this one which is the original arcade version with the broken English, and a lesser Mega Drive port which only contains the two characters Fighter and Wizard. It does have a Free Play option which speeds things up by giving you infinite lives, essentially making you invincible; I don't know if the PC Engine version has that. However, you achieve pretty much the same thing by emulating the arcade version with a button that inserts virtual coins when pressed.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me as though the SNES could have done justice to this title. I think the Genesis hardware was probably better suited to it, as I think some of the sprite work and a couple of the effects might have given the SNES a little trouble. The Genesis had crappy sound by comparison, though. Anyway. I never got far in this game. The arcade in my town didn't keep it for terribly long, and I didn't have enough money to try to learn the game, anyway. Magic Door, for anyone who happens to be from my neck of the woods.
