DescriptionYou play a Russian strong-man fighting his way through nine levels in order to piece together a map that leads to the treasure. End-of-level monsters appear during each stage. Finding hidden power-ups along the way can make your job easier.Know anything more about this game? Game IntroductionThe player character is a fire-breathing Russian named Jinborov Karnovski, also known as Karnov, a former circus strongman whose quest is to find the lost treasure by collecting pieces of the map which leads to it at the end of each stage.As Karnov travels through each level, he will encounter many different prehistoric and mystical creatures that he must avoid or destroy using his fire-breathing powers. Players can also use power-ups to help Karnov in his search for the treasure and 50 "K" boxes can be collected to gain an extra Karnov. The game ends after the ninth level is completed and Karnov has found the treasure. MiscellaneousConverted to Spectrum, Amstrad and Commodore 64 by Electric Dreams Software in 1988.Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Common - There are 26 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 4 of them are original dedicated machines, 4 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 18 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 19 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Karnov Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Nihon Bussan/AV Japan.
