Title
The arcade game is one big interactive movie, where at key points you need to press one of the four directional buttons or the action/sword button. The original arcade was *very* unpredictable since it showed no hints where you could jump to safety, and it also went at a lightning fast pace, making this game very much a test of trial and error. Ports to numerous systems offer quick time event-like signs of what to press, which greatly helps and makes them far better than playing it on an arcade.

It's a brief and uninventive game, but makes up for it with its animation and sheer novelty factor.
