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
