Hitting the arcades back in 1988, the game saw players take control of a prince who sets off on a journey across the kingdom of Vegetaria to save the kidnapped Princess Papaya from the devil. This involves travelling across five challenging levels, ranging from a beginning forest area to a large castle wall, a tricky labyrinth, a series of mines, and the final castle, situated at the other end of the map.
Movement was originally controlled with the use of an 8-way joystick, with players being equipped with three different types of attacks - bullets, a laser, and bombs. These are used to dispose of the different enemies you'll encounter, which include everything from giant eyeballs to spiders, robots, and insects.
Here's the official description from Hamster:
