Dragon shmup on NES

Post by **Shatterhand** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:23 pm

Anyone remember the name of that NES shmup made by Capcom where you control a dragon?

It has both vertical and horizontal levels, and it was played in the oldschool competition here years ago, and it was really annoying, because most average players could endless loop the game (and because of this we put a rule in the middle of the tournament where only 1st loop scores counted), and all the score was made of milking the horizontal bosses. I even found out that you could find a safe spot in the 1st horizontal boss, turn on auto-fire and just leave the game playing alone, as your score would just keep on going.

I finished in 2nd place at that competition, as Cigsthecat posted a score after me (It was just a matter of patience and who would post later really).

But I just can't remember the damn name of that game! Anyone knows?

You might be thinking of Legendary Wings, but you don't control a dragon; you control a winged Icarus/Daedalus type.

It's Legendary Wings.

That competition was fun.

Argh
that's why I didn't find the game. I was looking for a DRAGON, goddamn.

Yeah, it's Legendary Wings.

Guess I confused this with Dragon Spirit from Namco

Yeah, that competition was really fun, and it introduced me Recca, one of the greatest shmups ever

I though maybe you mixed Legendary Wings with Dragon Spirit

There is a dragon in Legendary Wings though. At the end of every overhead level, in fact.
