I don't think it's a bad game at all, but it's quite hard to play if you don't know how to do it (for example, secondary weapons are not too intuitive to select/use, as D-Tail explained).
Here you have some key combinations I found out:
run: press twice left or right
secondary weapon: down + jump
strong attack (1): jump + down + attack
strong attack (2): double jump + down + attack
Strong attacks are important to beat middle bosses and dragons.
About the green branch, it totally restores your energy when your e-counter reaches '0'
Maybe you don't like the game, but it's a great conversion from the original arcade, that's for sure!
Do you need more help for Dragon Buster ?
I've just finished to create the full map of this giant game !
Fatal error: error traversing GeoLite City database file - perhaps it is corrupt? Try reinstalling it. in /wp-content/plugins/visitor-maps/include-whos-online-geoip.php on line 454
No any problem here
Doesn't work for me either; same issue as reported by Manuel.
I've re-uploaded manually the GeoLite City database, apparently the automatic update some days ago was not successfull, but I didn't have no any error message.
Can you try again and say me if you can now access to the website ?
I had the same problem as Manuel, but now all seems working again.
Thanks for the feedback !
I have original this game and finished some year ago. I like Dragon Buster
I am currently playing Dragon Buster... One of those many games which have been on my wishlist for 30 years..... Also because of the positive review in MCM.
The graphics are mediocre and the game is a bit repetitive, but I do like it. Above all, I like the packaging of the game which I always have found fascinating.
The unclarities in this topic of 10 years ago will have been solved by now. I will add for future players that if you hit the dragon at the right spot, it will indicate it in green. Every dragon has its own weak spot.
