Dahna Megami Tanjyo

Hercules (Pirate)

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Dahna Megami Tanja
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    IGS
RELEASED:         1991
TYPE:             Fighting
LANGUAGE:         Japanese

PREMISE:          You play the role of a beautiful young warrior babe in
                  this bloody arcade beat-'em-up whose plot is the typical
                  "I must avenge/attack/defend (fill in the blank here)"
                  storyline.

IMPRESSIONS:      A side-scrolling beat-'em up in the same vein as Golden
                  Axe, but with far fewer moves and smaller graphics.  Has
                  a violence content worthy of Hokouto no Ken, and has
                  some of the most original level design to be found in a
                  platform fighter of the day.  Its power-up animation
                  sequence is by far superior to most other Golden Axe
                  clones, and it has some rather unique gameplay elements
                  of its own.  Easy to learn, difficult to master, well
                  worth the effort.
