Think Fatal Labyrinth but this is game gear, and you are not in a dungeon you appear to be in a forest of some sort. You have to run around collect items and fight monsters for your life.
at first you have a sword there are all kinds of monsters you are off to defeat dragons except they can curse you like when you defeat the first dragon it turns you into a dragon but it also gives you the powers of that dragon having the ability to breath fire is very cool and useful.
