Seeing as he's seemingly our embassador from the *chans, I'm going to leave the correct reply to Stoatie.

Christ... I don't know! I recognise it, though.

I'd say ask Randy.

(Ambassador from the *chans? Hmm...)

Just thought you might want to get in a "is this battletoads?" before we got around to the actual helpful answers...

I don't remember the name, but me thinks it was an arcade in which the guy could upgrade his armor several times and had to fight with three dragon brothers bosses in the end of each major level. The name had something to do with dragon(s).

Me thinks, mind you.

(plus, I must have some problem if I can remember an arcade game I played once or twice about 20 years ago, but still can't remember what I did last night...)

It's not Battletoads. It's Doom 3.

if you're thinking of Black Tiger, that's different.

the picture up there looks an awful lot like the arcade version of Willow, only without Willow. maybe that's Madmartigan near the end of the game wearing better armor? probably not, but it's clearly the same design - which just means that (like Black Tiger and Willow) it was probably made by Capcom.

I've not got the faintest idea, but I guarantee that somebody on the HG101 board will be able to tell you.

It isn't *ahem* something called 'Risky Woods', is it?

I don't suppose it's Magic Sword, is it?

Could also be Black Dragon.

(Edit: Though I just realized that Black Dragon is what Black Tiger was called in Japan, so never mind.)

I put it to some people I know whom I was sure would give me an answer, and lo and behold, they did:
