Gameplay
The player controls a dragon in a maze, attempting to bite the tails off other dragons.[2][3] The longer a dragon's tail, the more bites required to defeat it. There are a total 20 mazes.[citation needed]
Two players may play either competitively or cooperatively.[3]

| Top Secret |
A review in Polish magazine Top Secret thought that both the graphics and music average, but that the increase in challenge in later levels put it slightly above other arcade style games.[2]
