**Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara** is a beat 'em up with a role-playing game inside. Your hero gains levels, finds new weapons and armour, casts spells and uses items, and the story splits at several points so your route can be different every time. Six heroes, dozens of monsters and huge bosses stand between you and the sorceress Synn, who is really an ancient red dragon. It is Capcom's 1996 arcade game, and it plays right here in your browser with no download.
