Magic Sword (subtitled Heroic Fantasy) is a 2D platforming hack n' slash game, making up for a lack of vertical movement with the ability to recruit NPC teammates to battle alongside you. Your quest is to ascend the 50 floors of Dragon Keep to defeat the dark lord Drokmar (truly a memorable storyline), fighting enemy hordes with swords and sorcery, and a second player if you choose. Magic Sword's colorful graphics and vibrant sound effects make it a classic worth playing even next to more complex games, and its evocative cabinet art represents the end of an era when arcade manufacturers still put considerable effort into the look of the cabinets.
