And right I was to choose the character with a fast attack, powerful magic attacks, and good defense. I am keen on rogue/assassin types once I’m comfortable with a game, but I usually start off with a safe bet.

I chose the fighter, as this is probably the safest way to go through any RPG for the first time. Monsters have taken over the kingdom, and the heroes must dispatch them on the way to defeat their evil leader. Once a character is selected, the player is thrown right into the action. The game starts with your standardized RPG race/class selection screen including: Elf, Wizard, Fighter, Cleric, and Dwarf. “You mere human think that you can defeat the mighty Gildiss?” Luckily I didn’t need any coins for this one, or I would be broke by now. Like other arcade games that tend to be insanely hard, Contra and Aero Fighters for example, I find myself desperate to see it through. I just had to finish the game, and it is extremely difficult. Yes, after a few “game overs” I looked up some Game Genie codes. I will definitely be replaying it when I get the opportunity to play the two player co-op. I played all the way to the end and was tempted to start it over. I was up way later than I should’ve been. It’s rare I find a game that I can’t wait to finish so I can play it again. Capcom rarely disappoints with their arcade games, with titles like the Street Fighter series, D&D: Tower of Doom, and 1942, all of which are a part of the greatest gaming memories of my childhood. If you have ever immersed yourself in Dungeons and Dragons, Champions of Norrath, or Knights of the Round, then you will love this co-op hack and slash, action RPG. Games like The King of Dragons is one of the reasons why I love retro gaming. Platform: Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Snes9x Emulator
