Tecmo Knight (also known as Wild Fang in Japan) is a distinctive 1989 arcade beat ’em up developed by Tecmo. Instead of fighting on foot, players control a warrior who rides into battle on the back of massive beasts to crush hordes of monsters in a brutal fantasy world.
How to Play

Tips
- Know Your Mount: You can switch between the hard-hitting Gorilla (Smokeman) and the faster Tiger by collecting specific item drops. Use the Gorilla for raw damage and the Tiger for mobility.
- Mind Your Size: Your large mounts make you a big target. Keep moving vertically to avoid projectiles and prevent smaller enemies from surrounding you.
- The Dragon Form: Keep an eye out for the rare Dragon skull item. It temporarily transforms you into a flying dragon that breathes devastating fire, which is perfect for clearing crowded screens.
