1:50 Laziest dragon ever! Couldn't even be arsed getting up to attack...I mean big naked fat guys, flying seahorses... this game was so random. Even when i was a kid it was weird
Visuals and audio is first class. Doesn't matter it's short, most good games on c64 weren't that long. I agree about it being too difficult though. I was checking this out with a trainer a year ago, if I remember correctly I got stuck at the very end in the swimming part. I couldn't figure out controls and after drowning several times just ran out of patience. Amiga version is quite different in several aspects, but also with cool title music by Deenen of MoN. Nice one!
It does look fairly boring in the long term, but most arcade games of the time followed the same pattern of limited gameplay, short levels, and very good graphics (Altered Beast, Thunder Fox, etc). This at least shows the C64 to be capable in that genre (though also capable of far more interesting games).

If they did use a hires player sprite, this would be an absolute milestone! And instead of waveform 128 some digitized drums - the best game ever!

This is a very tidy game, but it's a bit too similar to Hawkeye. Cheers for the upload!!
@einokeino303 I sympathize. I had to search for info on the web to figure out that I had to waggle the joystick to get past the swimming part.
That's no dust dragon! :)

Typical late-c64 graphics show-off vehicle. It's just a bunch of weird pictures with no real aesthetics, no atmosphere, no plot and bland gameplay.
