Magic Sword (Arcade)

In Magic Sword, you are a man with a giant sword who must make his way to the top of a 50-floor tower. There's also a second player with a magic axe, but he's not in the title, so who cares?

Unused Music
Track is a short tune that might have been used for an unimplemented game intro.

Track is a happy tune that would have been used for something happy. This track was subsequently used as the Staff Roll theme for the SNES version.

Unused Graphics


Three different tiles appear as filler in the tile memory. They all say "pu", possibly short for "placeholder"(?)

Version / Revisional Differences
When a "screen crash" spell is used, an image flashes on-screen for a few frames. In the Japanese and World 900623 revisions, it's a hexagram: the symbols inside the hexagram are the astrological symbols for Saturn, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, and possibly Jupiter; the symbols on the outer circle are unknown and possibly made up.

The other two revisions (USA and World 900725) use a lightning bolt, which is arguably more effective.
