This has to be the toughest game in history, your suit of armor blows away after getting hit only once, then you run around in your tighty whiteys until you get hit one more time and die. The fire ball potential up sucks, the showing the whole map screen everytime you die is stupid, the amount of monsters on the screen spells instant death, and if you miss certain items like the shield when reaching the end of the game you will be sent back several levels to get it. The most cruel, stupid punishment I have ever seen is the fact that when you beat the game the first time you get the “this room is an illusion made by satan” message and your sent back to the first level to beat it again to get a lame ending that isn’t even proof read.

Let me say this, THIS GAME IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT GAMES ever made. I will also say that it is not one everyone will delight in. I have incredible fun playing this game as well as its SNES version. Here is my review.
The tale is that you are the bold Sir Arthur, not sure if there is supposed to be a relation to King Arthur but my guess is no. Your girlfriend and you are on a picnic in the graveyard (as seen in the opening scene) dont question why you picnic in the graveyard but you do. Then a huge red monster with wings, Satan i guess, appears and kidnaps her. You must follow the beast owing to the land and save your girlfriend.
Let me say some of the negatives of the game. The largest conundrum is that YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE GAME TWICE IN ORDER TO WIN. Yes that is right, you go owing to the game and when you get to the final boss you are sent back to the beginning to take an item you need to defeat Satan. There is no way to get the item on your first playthrough and the develpers thought this would be a wonderful thought, well since the game is so darn hard it is not fun at all when it happens to you, especially when you reflect your nearly done. Also you die in two hits and many areas have respawning monsters and hard traps. Getting extra lives is rare and like I said before the game is incredibly hard!
Positives are that the gameplay is splendid. Your standard weapon is like a lance or sword that you throw, you get powerups to your weapon. Also the sports meeting level designs are rather fun and the levels are quite different for one another, at least for the NES days. The game’s difficulty also is not the kind that comes from being frustrating, its a lot like how hard Mario Brother sports meeting are, you will die and die constantly but you will continue playing as you pull your hair out. You also feel some accomplishment when you pass a level or boss.
By and large I feel this game is splendid for the hard core gamer or someone who enjoys a real challenge. Many casual gamers will be turned away by its difficulty but I feel it is a very fun game worth owning.
