Supposedly poor port that makes the game run faster than the original Amiga version, making it much more harder than the original which itself was already quite hard.

Directly from the manual:

Fight your way through several different regions in order to reach the heart of the enemy's stronghold and face your ultimate adversary - the Beast Lord. The creatures you encounter on the way will invariably be hostile and will cause damage when they come into contact with you. Contact can be avoided by punching or kicking creatures away from you before they get too close, or by shooting them if you have a weapon.
