Anyone else ever play this game? What did you think about it? I think its a very good dungeon crawler. The music and level layouts were great too.

Genesis version is best and it's english
SNES had half the effects cut out and it's full of slowdown.
Actually the X68k version isn't even that different from Genesis they just added a 480p intro and ending.

The ending and credits also seem to be 480p which is cool. Doesn't seem to be much different from the Genesis version besides that.

Found the Genesis version, trying to play it in Fusion 3.64, but black screen, frame rate stays around 60, buttons don't do anything.

It plays fine on fusion, get another rom from archive.org.

Looked it up on archive.org, but it said it was streaming only. There some trick to finding this there?

Found a 1.1 GB zip file of Genesis roms, will see if this has a better copy.

Ah, never mind. I got it to work with the existing rom. Turns out the Genesis BIOS file set by default in the emulator wouldn't work. I blanked it out, and then the game worked fine. Would be nice if Fusion had a turbo option so I don't wear out my thumb.

Man I'm good. Set up keyboard keys as my controller in Fusion, then used JoyToKey for my gamepad, AND managed to set turbo on my fire button.

It's getting late, so I'm shutting it down. More time for this tomorrow! Thanks for noting that this existed; I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Randomly picked this game up on discount back when I was a kid. Awesome game with bad ass music.

Archer is OP as fuck.
