"Dragon Tooth" on the FC platform is a very magical game, as one of the few games that can see the Chinese title when I was a child, it was released by Sammy in 1990 years, it is reasonable to say that this is the end of the life cycle of the red and white machine platform, but "Dragon Tooth" whether it is an abstract picture or a simple plot reveals a taste of early side-scrolling games.

"Dragon's Tooth" is one of the very few games on the FC platform with the theme of modern ninjas fighting alien creatures, but this plot is only covered with a short subtitle at the beginning and end, and most players don't care too much.

Its core gameplay revolves around a unique weapon transformation system, the ninja played by the player will transform into different animals according to different weapons, and can press and hold the A button to transform into a tiger, scorpion, eagle, and dragon, each form corresponds to different abilities, which is probably the most impressive place for players, right?

The FC Dragon's Tooth game has a total of five levels and ten sub-levels, and the difficulty increases with progress, and the enemy attack pattern becomes more and more complex. The vast majority of players should only be able to reach the third or fourth level when they are young, and very few can see the fifth level, and there are basically very few who can clear the level.

Because the difficulty of the game in the later stage of "Dragon Teeth" is extremely unrealistic, almost every step is brushed out by various miscellaneous soldiers from extremely tricky angles, which is comparable to the early difficulty hell of the FC platform "Demon Village".

Besides, the ninja of "Dragon's Tooth" doesn't even have a set of armor.,The game is designed with no blood bar.,Death at a touch.,Single death has to start over from a fixed resurrection point.,Only when you hit doubles can you relay the resurrection.,It's estimated that friends who hit the back levels when they were young are generally doubles, right?

Here's an extra mention, some data show that the "Dragon's Tooth" circulating in China will be stuck in an infinite loop due to piracy.Small storyI have no impression of this, and friends with relevant memories can talk about it in the comment area.

After allSmall storyWhen I was a child, I tried my best to learn all my life, and I had the impression that I could play the third and fourth levels, and I couldn't see the next level, let alone verify whether it was a loop level.

As mentioned earlier, Dragon's Tooth doesn't look like a full-fledged work at the end of FC, which is also reflected in the weapon system. When I was a child, I played "Dragon's Tooth" very much like to look for weapons all over the world to transform, and I always felt that I had 72 changes, in fact, this game can only change four animals, and the balance of each transformation is extremely collapsed:

Tiger-darts,This is our preset weapon,Human state is suitable for throwing ninja darts far suppression,But the attack power is extremely low,After transforming into a tiger, it has extremely rapid movement power,The jump height is also greatly enhanced,You can barely move underwater,It's a pity that the attack distance is very short.,It seems that only a pixel grid can bite in front of the tiger's mouth.。

Scorpion-Chain, which uses chains to attack in the human state, is less powerful and has a decent attack range. After transforming into a scorpion, he can move at high speed underwater, but crawl like a turtle after going ashore, and is only easy to use in some levels, or greedy when some three or two chain weapons appear in a row.

Stick-Bird,Use a stick to attack in a human state.,The attack range is probably a little longer than that of a leopard.,But the power is much higher than darts and chains.,Daily monster and boss can be used.

It's a pity that its transformation form is a small bird, although it can fly in the air at will, but it has no attack ability, and it can be used in the previous levels, and it is almost useless in the face of overwhelming miscellaneous soldiers in the later levels.

Knife-Dragon, using a sheathed knife attack in the human state, the attack range is also short and pitiful, but the power is extremely rebellious, it can be called one of the strongest weapons in "Dragon Teeth", facing the vast majority of enemies, including the boss, can be killed in one slash, if a knife is not lost in seconds, you can make up for another knife.

As for the transformation into Jackie Chan, he is even more rebellious, ignoring any terrain and being invincible throughout the whole process, he can spit out a powerful energy wave, and his attack power is the same as that of the scabbard.

It's a pity that there are only three weapons in the whole game, and they can't be added after the fourth level. In the state of holding the knife, once the weapon of death is naturally lost, although it is invincible after transforming into a dragon, there is a time limit, and after the timeout, it will be forced to turn back into a human, and the weapon will disappear with it - after all, it is so against the sky, and if the system does not make some restrictions, the balance of the weapon will collapse even more.

I wonder which of the above weapons everyone loved to play with when I was a child?Small storyGuess although everyone's preferences are different, most of the time they are throwing small darts around, right? After all, this is the default weapon that will be kept after death!

Besides, the birds can barely fly in the later levels, the scorpions are almost useless on the ground, the flying dragon is almost impossible to keep all the time, and the only weapons that can be brought are darts, which is alsoSmall storyI think one of the reasons why the balance of the seemingly rich transformation system of "Dragon's Tooth" is very broken.

Despite the high difficulty of "Dragon's Tooth", it has left regrets for many friends' childhood, and it is difficult to complete it until the simulator era, but "Dragon's Tooth" still leaves an indelible memory for everyone in the era of red and white machines with its unique gameplay and transformation mechanism, and there are still many friends who are still struggling to find this unknown ninja game that can be transformed.

Those regrets of not being able to clear the level may be the reason why players will never forget this game. Its place in the history of the game is not only a ninja-themed action game, but also a precious memory belonging to the players of the red and white machine!
