    PLOT:
    The land is under the cruel control of three evil demonic dragons, who descended on a kingdom to bring darkness and destruction. From the ruins emerged a barbarian hero, who seeks to slay the dragons and restore the kingdom to its former glory.
    GAMEPLAY
    The game is presented in a side-scrolling format, with eight-way scrolling (like Bionic Commando).[2] The player controls the barbarian hero to navigate through eight levels infested with enemies and destroying the levels bosses. The player can find a number of "wise men" who give rewards when rescued. Though the wise man rewards often consist of self-evident "advice", most come in the form of "Zenny coins", currency that allows the player to buy various items, such as an upgrade to their weapons and armour, keys for treasure chests, and anti-poisoning potions. Hidden special items that reveal coins, grant upgraded armour, full vitality, extra lives, extra time, or simply bonus points may be found by attacking certain walls. The player's vitality bar will also increase up to four times as a reward for reaching score benchmarks. The player can also find hidden dungeons in the level for extra points and items.
    The Japanese version has a few changes that makes it more challenging than its American counterpart:
    Several of the "falling rock" obstacles are added
    The prices of many items are higher
    More points are needed to increase maximum vitality
    It is not possible to avoid taking damage from bosses by crouching under them

    The original Japanese title of this game is Black DragonI This is strange considering that according to Japanese mythology, the dragon is the natural enemy of the tiger.
    A barbarian runs about in a horizontally-oriented playfield, collecting coins with which he can buy upgrades for his armor, a whip-like weapon, keys for treasure chests, and anti-poisoning potions. Special items that reveal coins, upgraded armor or points may be found by whipping certain walls.
    TRICKS
    Near the end of level seven, there is a place where you have to jump up and to the right. It may seem like you cannot make the jump, but to make it you will need to push up and right at the exact time you push jump. Keep holding up and right until you complete the jump and if you do it right, you will sort of appear up on the next platform.
