What is King Arthur: Magic Sword?

King Arthur: Magic Sword is a 2D side-scrolling action platformer game originally released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis. It was developed by Japanese studio Zerodiv and published by Sega. The game is loosely based on the legend of King Arthur and features him as the main playable character.

In the game, players control King Arthur and must guide him through various fantasy-themed levels, battling enemies and obstacles along the way using his magic sword. Arthur can run, jump, attack with his sword, and collect power-ups to gain abilities like stronger attacks or temporary invincibility.

The levels are filled with enemies like knights, wizards, dragons, and other mythical creatures from the King Arthur legend. Players must jump across pits, climb ladders, swing from vines, and avoid traps and hazards. The goal is to make it to the end of each level while collecting coins and power-ups to increase your score.

Boss battles feature at the end of some levels, with enemies like the Black Knight providing an extra challenge. The game spans several visually distinct environments like forests, fiery volcanoes, icy caverns, and medieval castles.

With its fantasy setting, sword-based combat, and platforming challenges, King Arthur provided fast-paced run-and-jump gameplay paired with hack-and-slash action using Arthur's iconic Excalibur sword when it launched. It saw a sequel called King Arthur & the Knights of Justice released in 1995.
