Description

"Step into the boots of Prince Clovis in Dragon Buster, a monumental game from Namco released in 1984. This iconic platform-action role-playing game is a dungeon crawler that runs on modified Namco Pac-Land hardware and was the first game to introduce the double jump mechanic. Dragon Buster transports you to a world filled with perilous levels, each teeming with formidable enemies and challenging bosses. Guide Clovis through caves, towers, boneyards, mountains, and ruins, each level presenting a unique set of challenges. Keep your vitality up as you strive to reach the castle and rescue Princess Celia. This engaging game was ported to various consoles including the Family Computer (Famicom), MSX, Sharp X68000 and later to the Virtual Console and PSP. Dragon Buster’s success led to a sequel, Dragon Buster II: Yami no Fūin, and the PlayStation game Dragon Valor. Experience the game that paved the way for future platform games and set the standard for action-role-playing dungeon crawlers.
