Black Tiger, titled Black Dragon in its Japanese version, is an action-platform arcade Capcom released in 1987, where a warrior explores fantasy dungeons and castles buying weapons and armor with collected gold, one of the first arcade fusions between pure action and RPG-style stat progression.
Its freedom to choose a path within each level and its dark-fantasy setting set it apart from the rest of Capcom's catalog at the time, and it remains a solid recommendation for anyone looking for action with a bit more tactical depth.
