A 2D platformer that pits the player against the dark wizard Garth in a battle to take back his kingdom.
Magic Sword is a 2D action side-scroller with a fantasy theme. The hero and his chosen accomplice must battle their way through a wizard's tower in a lust for monster slaying and loot.
A spooky platformer featuring a head-tossing mummy that is actually a re-skinned western version of a Japanese game called Magical Hat no Buttobi Turbo! Daibouken.
Minnie Mouse has been kidnapped by the evil witch Mizrabel, and it's up to Mickey Mouse to venture through the mysterious worlds of the Castle of Illusion to rescue her in this 2D platformer (and collaboration between Disney and Sega).
The semi-sequel to Legendary Axe/Makkyou Densetsu. The game has seven stages, and was released in Japan in 1990. Despite popular belief in the United States, the game IS a sequel to the Legendary Axe/Makkyou Densetsu and was marketed as such in Japan.
