by bnsfman. Comment: "the first time that i played blacktiger, it lasted only two minutes for me to loose all my men. i only played blacktiger after that, i got to the end of the game, finshing it without looseing any of my men. it would take me over an hour or two. they took the game out and i have never found it since, but it is the best........."

by Nivek. Comment: "The only game I can beat with one quarter!! Any time I want to kill nearly two hours I go to any arcade that still has it and play. I'm really in trouble when I get two credits for a quarter, I'm stuck there for four hours!!" (2005-06-06 11:49:32Z)

by rupa. Comment: "brilliantly executed platform dungeon game. not hard but satisfying to beat. highly recommended." (2004-11-27 04:56:53Z)

by pkostrze. Comment: "This is my absolute, hands-down, favorite arcade game of all time. The game goes on forever, it seems. I'd drop quarter after quarter in and keep on plugging away... the enemies never stopped coming, but I had to get to the next level, buy the next upgrade, clear the next dungeon. As if it wasn't hard enough you had a time limit so you had to balance your need to clear every enemy and get every item with the need to get the heck out of the level in a timely manner. The end bosses were well done and just hard enough. All-in-all, a VERY fun game with hours of entertainment and some of the best vintage sprite graphics out there... now go grab a sack of quarters and get out there!" (2004-10-12 07:41:42Z)

by Lord_Baron. Comment: "This was one of, if not, the best action/adventure games of the 1980's. I wish they would transfer the game over to the gameboy advance or another console or computer as a claasic game for home." (2003-04-28 13:06:28Z)

by dagon_bl. Comment: "For its time this game had amazing graphics, it was very challenging, lots of levels and is a very fun game to play. One of the best coin ops." (2003-01-08 03:23:05Z)

by nickwinney. Comment: "This game has particular poignancy for me, as it was over the shoulder of my soon to become best friend that I first witnessed the most excellent "out of the screen" cave-mummies attacking. This was some 14 years ago! By todays standards, this game would not appear anything special, but the 4 way scrolling fantasy shooter/platform waas an excellent challenge and the clear basis for later hits such as GODS.

--- 720 --- (Contributor: unknown) In the ramp section, levels 8, 9, and 10: holding down the kick and jump buttons simultanously on the lip of the ramp will boost your air. This trick only works when you're going the correct speed (usually your third or fourth jump), and only once (as far as I can tell) per ramp session per level. ----------- Afterburner ----------- (Contributor: Anthony D.
