Equipped in the beginning with only a bow, she proceeds to find the ring and restore her home back to normal.
This is a game that may be compared to The Legend of Zelda , though more linear in it's game play.
The game is broken down into many stages, the goal of each being to simply find a way into the next stage.
Playing out in puzzle fashion, you will shoot all the enemies on screen, earn the hidden key, and find the correct exit.
Defeated enemies will randomly drop bonuses that can be collected; these items include health restore, increased armor, and weapon improvements.
Beating the entire game requires successful progression through 125 stages.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Arkista's Ring for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Arkista's Ring to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1990.
