About the Game

The arcade classic, brought over intact

Monster Land is overrun. You are the boy with the sword, and the only way through is forward — one screen at a time, past slimes, spiders, knights and the dragon at the end of it all.

Buy a better sword. Buy boots that let you run. Find the hidden doors. Keep an eye on the hourglass, because your life drains whether you fight or not.
