Black Dragon fits within the wave of martial-arts-and-rival-clan action titles that flourished in Asian arcades in the late 80s and early 90s, with melee combat and level progression. Its circulation stayed mostly limited to the Japanese market, which explains the scarcity of sources documenting its development. It's one of those titles known today only by the most dedicated collectors: without a major publisher behind it or a franchise to sustain it, it was relegated to a footnote in the genre's history.
