Description
About This Game
A fantastic world of adventure unfolds in this vertical-scrolling
shooter. Sealed away by the gods long ago, the Evil Demon of Darkness,
Zawell, seeks to rise again and unleash a new reign of evil. The brave
warrior Amur races to rescue Princess Alicia from the demon's wretched
clutches. Amur takes the form of the legendary Blue Dragon and fights
his way through the legions of monsters that await in the sky. Battle
your way through eight different areas, using your Dragon Breath to
bring down airborne targets and Fireballs to wipe out targets on the
ground. Destroy flashing enemies and smash Eggs to uncover different
kinds of power-up items. Boost your firepower by increasing the number
of heads your dragon has, and defeat all the bosses as you make your way
to Zawell's dark lair.
