Описание:
Dragon Breed— это классическая горизонтальная шутер-игра, разработанная Irem и выпущенная Activision в 1990 году. Игроки берут на себя роль Каяса, молодого короля империи Агамен, который ездит на мощном драконе по имени Бахамут. Вместе они должны помешать злым амбициям Короля Тьмы Замбаквуса, стремящегося погрузить королевство во тьму.
Игроки управляют как Каясом, так и Бахамутом, перемещаясь по различным уровням, заполненным врагами и препятствиями. Дракон может менять свой цвет и уровень силы в зависимости от собираемых в игре предметов. Разные цвета представляют разные виды оружия, такие как огонь, самонаводящиеся драконы, молнии и чешуя, каждая из которых имеет три уровня мощности.
Игровой процесс включает в себя стратегическое спешивание с дракона для продвижения по определённым участкам. Каяс может стрелять из арбалета, в то время как Бахамут использует мощную лучевую атаку, напоминающую другую популярную игру Irem, R-Type. Игра известна своими сложными уровнями и необходимостью эффективно управлять временем, так как для каждого уровня установлен лимит времени.
Dragon Breed была выпущена на различных платформах, включая Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64 и ZX Spectrum. Она содержит музыку Мартина Уокера и предлагает уникальное сочетание действия и стратегии, требуя от игроков эффективного использования способностей дракона для преодоления сил тьмы.

GAMEPLAY
Following on in the tradition of great arcades, Irem, the creators of
R-Type and Ninja Spirit, have come up with another, Dragon Breed.
The Story
Kayus became the King of Agamen Empire when he was just fifteen years old.
Those who were dissatisfied with his enthronement conspired to break the
seal confining the King of Darkness, Zambaquous, to seize the kingdom with
the black power.
The Game
The main character (Kayus) sits astride a large Dragon (Bahamoot). From
this position, he must fight dismounting the Dragon at strategic place to
aid progress.
CONTROLS
The control of both the Dragon and Kayus is controlled by joystick or keys
(depending on the version of the game). Like most Irem games, Dragon Breed
has collectables. There are four types of collectables and three power
levels for each. See table below.
RED - Flames
SILVER - Homing Dragons (like homing missiles but with baby Dragons)
BLUE - Lightning bolts
GOLD - Scales
The Dragon starts off green with no special weapons, and will change to
the relevant colour for the weapon picked up. The power levels work as
follows; If you pick up a red gem, the Dragon changes to the flames weapon,
but on the lowest strength. If you then pick up another red gem, you will
move up to the second power level. However, if you pick up a different
coloured gem, the Dragon will move up to the second power level. However,
if you pick up a different coloured gem, the Dragon will change to that
weapon but will stay at the same power level as before. So once on the top
power level, unless you die you will stay there.
Apart from the pick up weapons, you have at your control two other weapons.
Kayus is firing a cross bow which increases in power with the power ups,
and the Dragons head fires a beam up (like R-Type). This is operated by
holding down the fire button and releasing. The power is determined by how
long you hold the fire button for. This is visually indicated by a
progressive glow from the Dragons mouth, getting brighter the longer you
hold the fire button depressed.
You have one last weapon in your armoury. If you have the Gold/Scales
weapon then you have the ability to coil the tail of the Dragon around
Kayus, completely protecting him (for a short period only). This is
achieved by pushing up and pulling down quickly; pressing fire when coiled
gives eight way fire (depending on power up). You can also coil the
Blue/Lighting bolt Dragon. But it coils in the opposite direction, leaving
Kayus on the outside! To achieve this push down and pull up quickly.
One last point, there is a time limit for each level! When not riding the
Dragon the scroll stops and (only certain versions) will start as Kayus
walks to the right, so it is advantageous not to spend too much time off
the Dragon!

To dismount the Dragon, while over a platform, push down and press fire.
After a short delay the Dragon will take his place above your head. You
can still control the Dragon while you are off it. This can be achieved
by pulling down to bring him down closer and by releasing the joystick to
send it away. To re-mount the Dragon, pull down on the joystick to bring
him close to you, then push up to jump.
