Collector interest

A mythological platformer published by Funtech, a minor third party whose Game Boy presence was very limited. Released late in 1997 with Super Game Boy support, the US edition carries a modest run tied to a fringe publisher in the monochrome console's twilight. The game is competent but unremarkable, and its collector interest stems mainly from the obscure publisher and the late release date rather than any real standing.
