Aaargh!

AAARGH! is an arcade action and beat ’em up game starring either an ogre or a dragon. Both characters search an island for an egg said to grant super powers.

To locate the egg, players must destroy buildings using the ogre’s horn or the dragon’s tail. Humans attack with catapults, weakening the player, while food restores energy. Finding the egg leads to one-on-one battles against the rival character; winning five of these fights completes the game.
