From the haunting music to the beautifully animated dragon this game was a delight to play. This side scrolling "shoot em up" had you saving a witch from burning, flaming soldiers and townspeople alike, fighting a two headed dragon and eating the odd straggler off the ground. Never completed it though there is a good long play on youtube for the curious.
