Cavelon
卡弗隆
Cavelon is an arcade action game released in 1983 by Jetsoft. Players navigate a knight through a series of castle rooms, collecting pieces of a drawbridge card while fending off enemies. The gameplay blends maze-style movement with combat, as the knight can attack foes using a sword. Enemies approach from multiple directions, requiring constant awareness and quick reactions. Each room presents a new arrangement of obstacles and adversaries, and completing a room by gathering all card pieces advances the player further into the castle. The game features a medieval fantasy theme, with its castle setting and knight protagonist distinguishing it from more generic maze games of the era. Difficulty increases as players progress through successive rooms.
