This game has a run page on SDA!

Versions

There are three versions of the game with significant differences that make them difficult to compare:

• NTSC-U

- Runs at 12 fps.

• NTSC-J

- Runs at 20 fps. The faster game speed brings along a number of in-game differences that require different approaches to many areas in the game.

- When arriving at the bosses of level 2, the screen continues scrolling until the end, making the second mine troll spawn (and possible to hit) earlier.

- The layout of the boss area in level 3 is different.

- Singe can be skipped in this version if the Lizard King is spawned at the end.

• PAL

- The game mechanics are similar to NTSC-J (but slowed down to the usual 5/6 speed due to running at 50 Hz iso 60 Hz).

- Level 1 boss has been changed from 8 serpents to one big serpent.

- The boss areas of level 2 and 3 are the same as NTSC-J.

- Some of the level designs are different. E.g. falling rocks in the elevator sections, dragons flying across the top of the screen in level 4 dropping stones.

- Splash screens add around 2 seconds before each level begins.
