Summary

Colorful Dragon, released in the West as Tagin' Dragon, is a quirky maze‑runner that lets you steer a dragon through a series of winding corridors. The core loop is oddly satisfying: you chase down other dragons and bite off their tails, with longer tails demanding multiple bites before they finally disappear.

The game packs twenty distinct mazes, and it shines brightest when you grab a friend. Two players can either compete to see who can shred the most tails or team up to clear the labyrinth together, turning the simple bite‑mechanic into a lively tug‑of‑war. The difficulty ramps up as dragons grow longer, forcing you to plan your routes and timing carefully.

What makes Colorful Dragon stand out is its unlicensed status on the NES and its later appearance on Sachen’s Super Cartridge Version 6, a 6‑in‑1 multicart. Bunch Games picked it up for the North American market, giving the title a brief but memorable run among retro collectors who love hidden gems.
