One of my favorites. I'd go to the arcade with my brother and he would spend all of his $5 and I would still be on my first quarter with this game. I finished it with one quarter. I used to practically live in arcades.
I used to spend a lot of time in the arcades too as a kid in the 80’s but I don’t remember this game, I thought I had played them all but not this one.
@@robertdemon3550 this one is really cool. And it actually ends. It doesn't go on forever like Pac-Man. The character gets upgrades as you play also. If you can play it then you should. It's fun.
i played this a bunch. not my favorite, never beat it. But could do Rastan with one quarter. a similar but slightly better game imo. Black Tigert isnt terrible. its solid But watch this and then go watch a full playthrough of Rastan. The music will have you boppin...
Your right and wrong it was in one of the Capcom Collections on PSP and PS2, also there was an Amiga port, but seeing Amiga wasn't popular in the USA its kinda of like it never was.
1:40 he is a merchant and got petrified in a dungeon, in a place not so easy to reach... he got rescued by a hero, saying "thank you, i am in debt to you!". he has a flame flail and a demon eye armor at hand, but instead of giving it to the hero, wishing his best luck, he "maybe" can sell him something. 🤑 such a nice person.
Loved this game and shoved alot of quarters into it playing doubles with my friend. Was the first arcade game we actually finished. I downloaded it onto my phone a couple weeks ago and am once again addicted to it.
The music by Tamasan (Tamayo Kawamoto) is something special for an 80's game. The ending fanfare changes key 4 times and the main theme has variations throughout the game:
Spent a lot of money on this one, it was one of my old absolute favorites. Very difficult to find these days, I look for it in every retro arcade and never see it anywhere.
Man... the beginning of this music sounds so much like Thelonious Monk's "Epistrophy." Between that and the whole-tone sounds, this really has that Monk feel to it.
Anytime I was in an arcade as a kid, and I heard that intro. A serious bee line was made for it. That, and the telephone call in Final Fight. Are my two arcade memories that still resonate, all these years later!
Hey I was listening to the Ready player one audiobook and this was mentioned. Wanted to see what it was. It’s uncommon for me to not know what an arcade game is.
This game was in the back room of a smokey donut shop near my house growing up. We would pick up change on the sidewalk to save up a quarter for a play or a dime for a donut bite.
2 days ago, I went to see my friend at his antique shop and he had an old The New Eagle magazine from 1990 featuring a comic strip called Black Tiger: A Computer Warrior Story and I'm surprised to discover Black Tiger was a computer game.
I'm 19 mins into the gameplay and honestly its very average. I used to be the best in this game in our area. Its been probably 32 years since I played this game and I still remember all the hidden bonuses and he missed couple already!
I spent hours on this game: would sit there an just kill the skeletons on each level to try to get the highest score or getting 999,990 didn't necessarily mean you would finish the game.
It does, there is a trick to it. You have to move stick to right and after hitting jump, simultaneously move stick up but dragging it like, right, top+right and then top. I hope it makes sense! I could do this in my sleep :P
What is the pit-traps in the first levels supposed to be?? Some kind of meat-eating plant with spikes just wating for some poor soul to fall to his death? Could someone plz explain? Thx.
Loved this Arcade game. The intro always attracted me to it. Two questions. What do the vials can purchase in the shop do. Plus, how on earth can you make that jump, the infamous jump??
The potions protect you against poison, some enemies (tbh I can't remember which ones) poison you which means that in addition to taking damage you lose the dagger throwing part of your weapon
If Castlevania can turn the Vampire Killer into a Combat Cross... Imagine what Capcom can do with the hero's weapons... I mean look at what the Devil May Cry and Monster Hunter franchises have pulled off
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31 '''''''''''''''''''''''',,,,,,
Right, I can't figure out the purpose. He seems to lose one when hit by magic, or flames, but he still loses vitality, so what good is the potion for? My only thought was maybe you die instantly if you don't have one?
@@MegaManXPoweredUp Yep, it makes the game overs much more punishing than they seem at a glance. You lose your score, effectively losing all your experience points towards gaining additional health bars.
Strangely enough this American version was released before Black Dragon, despite being developed by Capcom. Black Dragon even fixed a few of original American version's bugs (mostly graphical glitches in the background tiles). Its also much more difficult. The American version was pretty merciful for an arcade game of any region.
Who should we have the player rescue? Scantly clad women ? Naa... lets make it hairy old men! Seriusly, the world of classic gaming would have been so much better if there were not so many raging man lovers making games.

These sound effects take me back to 12 years old at the arcade!
One of the greatest Arcade Games that never got a console Home Port outside of emulated arcade compilation and virtual console release.
Your right and wrong it was in one of the Capcom Collections on PSP and PS2, also there was an Amiga port, but seeing Amiga wasn't popular in the USA its kinda of like it never was.
You should see the Commodore 64 version! 🤢
Is the greatest game ever...I found it on ps4...it's called black dragon...and I have some questions about that game....can you help?
It was on the atari st 520fm
If you have fpga, Jotego has a core now.
Ernie Cline LOVES this game. It played a key role in Ready Player One (the novel).
First game I ever finished with using only 1 Quarter, after spending lots to learn it ; )
1:40
he is a merchant and got petrified in a dungeon, in a place not so easy to reach... he got rescued by a hero, saying "thank you, i am in debt to you!".
he has a flame flail and a demon eye armor at hand, but instead of giving it to the hero, wishing his best luck, he "maybe" can sell him something.
🤑 such a nice person.
Merchant's gotta eat, too. At least when he's not petrified.
Good point
Hey, that's capitalism baby!
One of my favorite arcade games of all time
One of the best ever made but my complaint is that it's not long enough
Loved this game and shoved alot of quarters into it playing doubles with my friend. Was the first arcade game we actually finished. I downloaded it onto my phone a couple weeks ago and am once again addicted to it.
What's the name? I searched in playstore and doesn't show.
The music by Tamasan (Tamayo Kawamoto) is something special for an 80's game. The ending fanfare changes key 4 times and the main theme has variations throughout the game:
Capcom should revive this gem
My favorite Arcade ahead of its time
Blobs, skeletons, snakes, mummies, minotaurs, and yes, ninjas. 😎
Spent a lot of money on this one, it was one of my old absolute favorites. Very difficult to find these days, I look for it in every retro arcade and never see it anywhere.
Probably because people played this game for hours, while spending just 1 coin.
Maybe it never actually existed. Kinda like polibius
@@stefanosprokopis6974 i did play on it and was real :)
@@adytech5788 how do you know you're real? You could be in a computer game. Your entire existence may be a mere illusion, a computer program.
It's on ps4 it's called black dragon...
Wow! This look amazing. Like a true evolution of Ghost’n Goblins 👌
Was made for the same company! CAPCOM
Man... the beginning of this music sounds so much like Thelonious Monk's "Epistrophy." Between that and the whole-tone sounds, this really has that Monk feel to it.
Anytime I was in an arcade as a kid, and I heard that intro. A serious bee line was made for it. That, and the telephone call in Final Fight. Are my two arcade memories that still resonate, all these years later!
Ghosts'n'Goblins was similar, probably sound chip, etc.
One of my favourite games ever! That tune love it
Wow I’ve been looking for game. I knew it existed damn.
I like how the shop randomly appears out of nowhere when the old man is there.
Finally a run which includes Bonus Dungeons
I used to beat the entire game on one quarter at 7-ELEVEn when I was a boy. I'd like to have this arcade game in my home.
Ready player one 😊
❤오랜만에 보는 추억의 게임.
Thanks.
That last jump omg
Hey I was listening to the Ready player one audiobook and this was mentioned. Wanted to see what it was. It’s uncommon for me to not know what an arcade game is.
I am a huge arcade fan but trust me when I say this. They're a lot of arcade games that even I don't know.
Love this game. Dumped a lot of quarters into this gem. Ty god for raspberry Pi.
Don't even want think how many I've put in
This game was in the back room of a smokey donut shop near my house growing up. We would pick up change on the sidewalk to save up a quarter for a play or a dime for a donut bite.
The best thing about these old arcade games are the memories.
My favourite game at my local fish and chip shop as a kid....

What a phenomenal game ❤
Finally i found it on the sea of snes games... thx mate
This could be awesome if it was remade in 3D with Unreal Engine. 😎
I spent so many quarters on this game as a kid.
Ready Player One brought me here
i was searching for this game for years !!!!!!!!
all what i remember was the boss fight with stones, no title !!!
thanks to chatgpt ^^
"Thank you, I'm in debt to you... maybe I can sell you something." Um, how about you just give me anything I want because I just SAVED YOUR LIFE.
I'm 19 mins into the gameplay and honestly its very average. I used to be the best in this game in our area. Its been probably 32 years since I played this game and I still remember all the hidden bonuses and he missed couple already!
The Skyrim of it's day!
I spent hours on this game: would sit there an just kill the skeletons on each level to try to get the highest score or getting 999,990 didn't necessarily mean you would finish the game.
Black Tiger, not to be confused with Life Of Black Tiger. . .
Just came here after trying 100 times the 39:35 jump to see if it were possible to do it xD
Same 😂
I can't do it, even with rewind. The character just won't jump that high
It does, there is a trick to it. You have to move stick to right and after hitting jump, simultaneously move stick up but dragging it like, right, top+right and then top. I hope it makes sense! I could do this in my sleep :P
Looks like a antecessor for Magic Sword
I used to see this game side by side with final fight and Assault in an old supermarket.
Ghosts 👻 and Goblins meets Golden Axe 🪓!
Yesss haha
First time seeing this game.This was so long ago.I was in 87.
The year the 1st Street Fighter game was released. And Double Dragon.
for me it was like in 88 , i was 13 ./
I loved this game as a kid... i spent too much money on this llol
This game is referenced in the book Ready Player One.
Well done
This needs a remake and sequels.
Magic Sword was like the spiritual sequel.
Still searching for the tiger (the original title is Black Dragon, thank you americans)
What is the pit-traps in the first levels supposed to be?? Some kind of meat-eating plant with spikes just wating for some poor soul to fall to his death? Could someone plz explain? Thx.
I have a miniature of Black Tiger now! 😊

78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.

It's tied to how many Points you earn. More Points means more Health.
