Legend of Hero Tonma is a side-scrolling action platformer for TurboGrafx-16 from Irem. A caped magic user travels through enemy-filled stages on a mission to rescue a princess. Projectile attacks and springy jumps define the action, with power-ups gradually increasing the amount of firepower you can send across the screen.

Gameplay
You run through the stages, jump between platforms, and fire at enemies before they close the gap. Landing on a foe can briefly stun it and provide a bounce, turning an enemy’s position into another way to gain height. That makes jumping useful for both movement and handling a crowded section. Weapon upgrades add stronger attacks, while protective barriers help absorb incoming damage. Keeping those advantages changes how comfortably you can approach the next fight. A boss stands at the end of each stage, where avoiding its pattern and keeping shots on target become the main tasks. The hero’s movement encourages active positioning: you often need to attack while crossing a gap or land somewhere safe before firing again. Bright comic artwork keeps the enemies readable, but the constant interaction between platforms and projectiles gives the game its pace. Reaching the princess means carrying that combination through the full sequence of stages.
