About this game
Ta-Keed, the Prince of Darkness, has managed to escape from his supernatural penitentiary where he has had centuries to plot exactly how he will take revenge on those that locked him away.
Emperor Hans sends his troops to deal with this threat, but they are no match for the ultimate evil one.

As an alternative, the emperor summons the bearers of 4 Magical Bells.
These 4 adventurers must make their way to the castle and work as a team if they are to destroy Ta-Keed.
The first part of Little Samson has each of the 4 characters journeying from his or her home land to the emperor's palace.
This gives the player an opportunity to explore that character's unique abilities which will be essential throughout the game.* Samson is a human who is reasonably fast and also possesses magnificent rock climbing prowess.
He is able to scale walls and hang across ceilings, and also grab onto walls and ceilings while jumping.
His offensive option is the ability to shoot bells straight ahead.
Kikira is the Dragon Lord.
Since she has claws, she does not slip on ice.
When she jumps, she can also fly for short bursts.
She breathes fire in 2 intensities, depending on how long the player holds down the fire button.
Her fireballs spread in arc patterns.
Gamm is the Rock Lord.
Since he is a living rock he is very strong.
So strong in fact that spikes do not hurt him, which is very valuable in a number of situations.
He is also very slow and has only a short leap.
He has a powerful punch.
K.O. is the Mouse Lord.
He is tiny which allows him to enter areas that other team members can not.
He is also extremely fast and the highest jumper of the team.
However, he is the weakest member so he can not sustain very much damage.
He has the same wall and ceiling traversal abilities as Samson.
Offensively, he can drop time-delay bombs.
When all 4 characters reach the emperor's palace, they all jump into Samson's bell.
Actually, Gamm and K.O. quietly jump into Samson's bell; Kikira initially refuses.
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 Little Samson 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 Little Samson 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 1992.
