Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll is an action-platformer and fighting game released for the NES in 1989 by Culture Brain. Players control a young martial artist named Ryuhi on a quest to recover stolen mystical scrolls. The game stands out by blending traditional side-scrolling action stages with unique one-on-one fighting tournaments, requiring players to master two distinct styles of gameplay.
How to Play
In the side-scrolling stages, navigate through enemies and collect items to strengthen Ryuhi. During the one-on-one duels, the game shifts to a strategic fighting system where a target symbol appears on your opponent’s body, indicating their weak point. Strike this target while defending your own weak points from incoming attacks. Standard NES controls apply: use the D-pad to move or block, A to jump, and B to attack (mapped to arrow keys, X, and Z on your keyboard).
Tips
- In the tournament duels, patience is key. Focus on defending the targeted areas of your body before going on the offensive to strike the opponent’s weak spot.
- Search carefully for hidden items in the platforming sections. Upgrading your health and martial arts abilities is crucial for surviving the increasingly difficult bosses.
