A fairly simple story for the game involves taking control of Rohan, a young warrior who is on a mission to rescue monks who have been trapped in stone statues in a bid to preserve the knowledge of the lost lands.

What this boils down to is an excellent platform game with great graphics, fast-paced action and good audio. I owned a copy of it back in the day and I liked it then and I still liked it when recording it for the video.

The basic rule is to kill everything that moves and to collect coins that they drop. The coins can be spent in a shop between levels where it's possible to buy new weapons and extra health.

The objective on each level is to free the number of monks illustrated at the bottom of the screen. However, this task is made more difficult by the giant eye gates, which can only be opened by finding two halves of an eye key. If you miss part of the key then you will transported back to a previous part of the level and giving you another opportunity to locate the key, although it will cost you half of your life energy to do so.

Chests can be found along the way with a variety of bonus items in them. Probably the most interesting item is the fruit that restore your health, but puts you to sleep in the process; falling asleep reduces the amount of time left to clear the level.

I had to spend a few minutes killing enemies before the final boss so that I had enough money to upgrade my weapon so it was powerful enough to defeat him.

This was a damned fine game and well worth a play.
