Released by Sunsoft in 1986, rookie explorer Wynn ventures into the risen island of Atlantis to rescue his missing master from the evil Emperor Zahira.
Wynn fights with "Bom" explosives. His master's design is recycled from the game Ikki, and the final boss is the fire-breathing demon Zahira.
The game consists of 101 non-linear "zones" connected by various doors and hidden warp points, requiring exploration to find the correct path.
It is praised for its high freedom and shortcuts, allowing experts to clear it quickly.
Its fast-paced BGM is also highly regarded for its quality.
The difficulty is notoriously "unreasonable" due to tricky jump physics influenced by inertia and the risk of self-destruction from one's own bombs.
Zone 42, known as the "Black Hole," is a famous trap stage with no platforms, leading to an inevitable game over for players who mistakenly enter it.
Several zones are inaccessible during normal play, and some stages featured intense background flashing that was removed in later ports for safety.
