Phantom Fighter

Screenshots

A horizontal side-scrolling level displays a character in yellow and white clothing standing on a brick platform in the lower-center area. The background features a dense arrangement of green pixel-art buildings, pagodas, and structures in varying shades of green and brown. A tall pink or magenta vertical structure appears on the far left. The HUD at the top shows a score panel with "TOWN" text, a life meter, and a pause icon. Mountains or clouds appear in the top-right corner. The environment uses a palette of greens, browns, blacks, and grays typical of NES-era sprite graphics.
