カルノフ

発売年：1987.01
開発／発売元：データイースト
ジャンル：アクションシューティング
コントローラ：8方向レバー+3ボタン
システムボード：専用基板
CPU構成[68000, M6502]　音源チップ[YM2203, YM3526]

財宝を探し出すため、神の使いカルノフは行く。ゲームの内容は、特徴的な体型の主人公カルノフを8方向レバーで操作して、ショットとジャンプを使いながら、妖怪達を次々と倒していくアクションゲーム。ハシゴや水中メガネ、魔法の翼など9つのオプションを使用することが可能となっている。全9ステージ。最終ステージのボス「アラカタイ」を倒すと、財宝の在りかがわかる地図が完成する。自分がやられてしまった時の効果音は楽しいが、やや腹が立ってくる。長いアーケードゲーム至上、最も主人公らしくない主人公として知られただけでなく、データイーストの看板キャラにまで発展することになった。

Karnov (c) 1987 Data East.

Karnov is a 2-D, platform style game. You control Karnov through 9 scenes. Each of these scenes gives you piece of a map (except the first scene). Get all the pieces of the map and you get to the treasure. Your journey won't be easy though. You will be going through some rough environment such as towns, forests, oceans, and caves. To further make your travels a hazard, different enemies attempt to end Karnov's life prematurely and prevent him from getting to the treasure. To aid Karnov in his adventures, he has certain items that he can draw from his inventory. In addition, there are other items that can make Karnov a potent foe of those wishing to harm him. You must complete each scene in order to advance to the next scene. All in a days work of a hearty explorer.
