- TRIVIA -


Released in September 1987.


This game is also known as "Devil World" and in Japan as "Majuu no Ohkoku".


Due to the complexity and difficulty of Dark Adventure, it never faired well in the arcades.


- UPDATES -


Dark adventure is (a sort of) an update of "Devil World" / "Majuu no Ohkoku".

* Different intro sequences.

* More difficult : The energy live decrease faster and each scene has more than one exit (and more than one key).

* There are three player characters instead of two (Zorlock has been added).

* The rectangle that contains the options (weapons and speed) that you can activate doesn't exist.

* The scenes with the dragon don't exist.

* The weapons and the process to catch them are different.
