The Music of Video Games [257] Dragon Spirit

Was this also an arcade game? It seems so familiar...
A guy in the beginning on a rock raises his sword and gets struck by lightning, transforming into a dragon; is this the one?

Yep, this is the one, and the game is called "Dragon Spirit".

i barely remember the nes game but i do remember a way to get the gold dragon at the start, or sumtin to that effect

Yea, same for me. If you didn't beat the boss in the first level, you got the gold dragon. If you did beat the boss, you got the blue dragon.

Gold dragon = Easy gameplay/ less levels
Blue dragon = Hard gameplay/all levels

Why do old games with little more than beeps have the best music?

Are you tone deaf? Next thing you'll probably say is the music in Ninja Warriors is'nt that good either.

Ninja Warriors is one of the best ninja based games ever, second only to Ninja Gaiden of course.

Oh Dragon Spirit I miss you.

Agreed. My uncle used to own a Sega Center video game arcade franchise back in the late 80's. He had access to many full console video games. He wanted to give me a full Ninga Warrior AND Dragon Spirit console when he quite that business but I declined as I did'nt have the space in my apartment to store them. One of the BIGGEST regret of my life to date.

Oh man I'm so sorry! That is a HUGE regret. Did he keep any of them or did he have to get rid of them all?

Some of the full console machines were leased and those were returned back to the vendors. The remaining macines that he owned were sold. Right now I'm combing through Google and E-Bay without much success.
