The first thing you will say (besides “hey, that Doropie chick is a hottie”) is “God damn, this game is a lot like Megaman”. Well, that’s because it is. A lot. Especially in the “run and jump and shoot at things” department. There are some notable differences of course, the biggest being the fact that Megaman was never this difficult. In the Megaman games you could, say, regain your health sometimes. And if you died, you wouldn’t start over at the beginning of the level, every damn freakin’ time. And you have different weapons at the outset of the game, though all you’ll use are the bouncy ball and Rush. Err not Rush, I mean the broom. Haha, how silly of me.

Anyway, this game is too hard to be fun. Fortunately, emulators typically come equipped with savestates.

Oh! This game was released as The Krion Conquest here in the States, but it had a lot of stuff cut.

Here you go. Magical Doropie, translated and unedited, unlike that Krion Conquest localization. See more about that in the Readme, it’s interesting stuff. Other than that, download the patch and enjoy.
