Summary

Unlike most Electronic Arts titles of the early 90s, this was a platform-shooter with minimal adventuring or strategy components. The game features side-scrolling gameplay and includes areas where precise jumping is necessary—either to cross rivers or gather rewards. You wield a dagger to fight enemies and must avoid touching them. When defeated, enemies drop coins that can be collected and used in the in-game shop. If you die, you lose most of your coins, though they can often be recovered if they land on solid ground—making combat deaths preferable to drowning.
