Tecmo’s 1989 belt scroller Tecmo Knight / Wild Fang has come to MiSTer FPGA and Analogue Pocket, thanks to Jotego’s Patreon.
“This belt-scrolling action game was created by the same team as Ninja Gaiden,” says the FPGA developer. “An interesting aspect of the game is that the protagonist fights on a ‘servant’. There are three types of servants: a giant, a tiger and a flying dragon. Players can change freely back and forth from the giant to the tiger, but the dragon requires a special item.”
Another cool feature was the ability to switch characters during gameplay. “The game has quite a personality art-wise, with all enemies barbaric in appearance, and heads coming off rather easily,” adds Jotego. “After the head, blood sprays out, with a rather grotesque effect.”
To get Tecmo Knight, you’ll need to be signed up to Jotego’s Patreon.
The game is already available on Hamster’s Arcade Archives series.
Go on.... treat yourself to a new game.
