I've always loved this brutal fantasy game, with its charming animations and great sound, but the highly confusing level layout always had me stumped. The levels are divided into screens, each with 1-3 exits, and each screen has a different orientation, as signified by the sword at the bottom. In this type of rotating map, getting an overview is nigh on impossible. I used to run around randomly, looking for the exit to the next level, and picking up items without knowing what they did. I reached level 3 several times as a kid, but never saw the last level.
