Game Introduction

This is a scrolling fighter like many others from the late 1980's/early 1990's. It is a better than average example of the genre, with colorful and detailed graphics. The music is awful, though. The player(s) get to choose from three characters and must progress through the game's levels, attacking the undead creatures that confront them.
