A Japanese "SAMPLE" of the Konami game "Getsu Fuuma Den" (The Legend of Fuma)

Notes

  • Music for the opening crawl is different
  • Overworld map has numerous changes, allowing for more non-linear exploration
  • You start the game with half health; damage from enemies also appears to be more significant and healing not as effective
  • Several enemy graphics have different color schemes compared to final
  • A skull enemy has a minor graphic change. It's unclear if it's a bug, corruption from the rom dump, or intentional by the programmers
  • Hit collision in mid-jump causing you to drop straight below, creating a new hazard when jumping over holes
  • The money bonus minigame in the first dungeon is missing
  • Enemy/item placement in the dungeons are slightly different
  • Encountered game crashes in the first dungeon seemingly at random, may be indicative of the game's WIP nature
