Description

Anyone who's ever dreamed of becoming a swashbuckling hero in the Errol Flynn tradition can now do so on their Nintendo Game Boy Color in Sunsoft's Mask of Zorro, available only for the GBC. Taking a cue from the hit 1998 film, the goal of the game is to guide Zorro through more than 30 levels and try to defeat the sly Don Rafael Montero. It's 1821, and California is still a rough and wild place full of influence from its neighbors in Mexico. Don Diego de la Vega, the original Zorro was imprisoned and had his beautiful daughter Elena taken from him when Montero discovered his true identity. Montero now has a plan in place to take total control of California, but Diego has escaped from prison and has trained the brash Alejandro Murietta as the one who will take his place as the new Zorro and save the people from tyranny. The game follows the same basic plotline as you control both Diego and Alejandro in this 2D platform game. You will explore mines and towns and duel the many swordsmen, such as the treacherous Captain Love, who stand in your way. Every wound reduces your health bar a little. Try to find the hearts which will restore some of your vitality; find Elena and kiss her and you'll regain all of it. Lose all of it and you're dead. A password system allows you to return where you left off. This game is for one player only.
