Dragon Fighter — About this game
North American NES cartridge. Dragon Fighter is a forced-right-scrolling NES action game that alternates between sword combat and shooting as a dragon. Defeating enemies with the sword fills the metamorph meter; once it is at least half full, the fighter can transform and fly through the stage. Holding B charges a ranged bomb, while crouching is necessary to hit small enemies, making meter use and positioning central to survival.
