DescriptionThis is a scrolling adventure game following the plot of the Lucasfilm movie "Willow." As Willow, or Madmartigan (or both), the player(s) work their way through various stages, defeating numerous enemies and facing a large "boss" at the end of each stage ending with defeating Bavmorda, the evil antagonist from the movie.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsWhen facing Bavmorda as the Willow character, it is probably best to use the tornado for offense and the magic shield for defense.Holding down the attack button will often speed up the lengthy narratives between levels. Game IntroductionMake your way through a varied and interesting selection of levels to defeat the boss at the end. Along the way, pick up the coins from defeated enemies and treasure chests to spend at the various stores. The purchase of weapon power-ups are highly favorable since they will remain with you for the rest of the game. The game is very player-friendly in that it allows continued play from several places within each level. The graphics are very good, with an obvious Japanamation influence.Game PlayThe overall gameplay is excellent. The final battle against Bavmorda is highly challenging and well worth the reward at the end.MiscellaneousLICENSOR: LucasfilmScarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Common - There are 21 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for this game. 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.
