In King's Knight (キングスナイト Kingusu Naito), you would expect from the looks of the game it would be an RPG, but it is actually a top-down vertical shooter. In this game, you have a party of four; Rayjack the Knight, Kaliva the Wizard, Barusa the Monster and Toby the Thief. Each character has their own separate stage. In each character's stage, you must find four artifacts, and must also complete the stage. However, this is a chore, as the game runs at a very choppy rate and it's too easy to die, despite the player having a health meter. The game was later ported to the NES, and was a little better, but not by much.

Music
The music in King's Knight was composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, and is rumored to have been one of, if not the first, video game he worked on.
Uematsu may have created sheet music and gave it to the programmers, in which the programmers implemented it into machine code and then into the game.
