A Master System port of the arcade dungeon crawler, but with support for only two players instead of four due to the Master System only having that many controller ports and no multitap.
Cheat Mode#
At the character select, choose a character with the D-Pad, then hold Up + 2 on Controller 2 and press 1 on Controller 1 to start the game. During gameplay, press Up + Down + Left + Right (this requires either an emulator/keyboard or a controller capable of pressing opposite directions simultaneously) on Controller 1 to enable cheat mode (press again to disable). This enables the following functions:
- Hold 2 to walk through walls.
- Hold any combination of Up, Down, Left, and Right, then press 1 + 2 to skip stages. The buttons being held determines the number of stages skipped, listed below:
