DragonHeart for Game Boy

Australia, 1996

Videogame

Based on the 1996 fantasy film of the same name, the player is Bowen, a dragon slayer for hire, who journeys through eight levels exploring the land, defeating thieves, fighting dragons and encountering characters from the film. Exploration is presented in a 1st-person-view while battles are more akin to a fighting game. In addition, the player can get information about the current quest from peasants in the villages littered throughout the game.
