Dragon Spirit - Gold Dragon - NES Retro Replay
9Full Dragon Spirit game played with the Gold Dragon. Using the Gold Dragon is the easier mode and shorter game. The first battle will determine if Prince Lace will continue on as a blue dragon or a gold dragon. die in this battle and you will start the game as the Gold Dragon. Game play in Blue Dragon mode requires Prince Lace, now appearing as a dragon, to successfully move through nine battle areas. If the Gold Dragon mode is the path that will lead to the rescue of Princess Iris, the challenge drops to five battle areas.
A little more about the game:
Dragon Spirit: The New Legend is a shoot 'em-up video game developed by Now Production and published by Namco in Japan and Bandai worldwide for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. It is a remixed port of the 1987 arcade game Dragon Spirit.
Dragon Spirit: The New Legend is a vertical shooter that plays similarly to 1942, 1943, and Tiger-Heli. The player controls a dragon who must use fireballs to destroy various enemies.
There are two different kinds of game: the golden dragon game (easy difficulty level) or the blue dragon game (normal difficulty level). A story is told between levels as the player progresses.
The "easy mode" that will become available if the player dies during the opening level offers a very different gameplay experience from the standard mode.
Major differences in gameplay aside from the color of the dragon include differentiation in powers. The gold dragon is much faster by default, both in movement and attack speed. Additionally, power-up transformations are far more destructive and effective, often wiping out most enemies in a single strike, and sweeping across the entire screen, in some cases leaving no enemy alive.
In addition to enhanced powers and speed, many of the more difficult levels are removed from this mode, shortening the total game and story. The golden dragon also takes more damage and will face slightly different enemies and bosses. The story for Prince Lace is very different from that of King Amru's tale should the player successfully activate the standard difficulty game.
