Name that game

[Patrik]

Hello there! Long time no see.. how goes shooting on today?

I need to know a name of the game, the game where u are a little knight or some sort of that, you go and clear castles, one after another, old one. the knight does round swings with sword.

Any idea what system it was on ?

And you're sure this is an arcade shmup? What company made it? Hori, vert...? Any extra gameplay-related details would be helpful.

[KAI]

Zelda.

[Edmond Dantes]

Is this even a shmup? It could be any number of games. King's Knight, Zelda, Golden Axe Warrior, Neutopia, The Legend of Valkyrie...

[DocHauser]

King's Knight on the NES?

Oops, I see the previous post already mentioned that...

[BareKnuckleRoo]

It would be more appropriate if the game were something like Deadly Towers. lol

[Ed Oscuro]

Zelda...SNES

I was thinking of Knightmare MSX, if it is a shmup, though that doesn't have round swings with the sword.

Brave Blade by Raizing?

isnt there a bootleg/hack of kiki-kaikai where the main character is a knight instead? (forgot the name tho).. sounds like your game..

[Mortificator]

The bootleg's called "Knight Boy," but I don't remember it changing the character graphics.

[Patrik]

no, its sidescrolling not shmup.

[stryc9]

Wonderboy in Monsterland?

[KAI]

Dragon Buster.

[Ed Oscuro]

Dragon Buster.

I was thinking of this one - and indeed the knight swings his sword in 3/4 of a circle, which I didn't remember. Probably a better fit than Namco's later sprite-rotation platformers.

That reminds me - Gladiator (aka Ougon no Shiro, or Golden Castle, or Great Gurianos).

Dragon Buster ty.
