Game Introduction

There are the standard easy, medium and advanced fighters but also cyclops archers and warriors with long tridents that try to kill you. A giant gorilla King Kong? also makes an appearance and tries to trample you. There are a variety of bonus stages as well including a slot-machine type challenge where if you match all three characters, you get a million point bonus and a free credit!
