Game Description:  

Released as a coin-operated arcade game in 1996, Cannon Dancer has become an absolute legend in arcade history, with fans still looking for ways to play this beloved title once again. Now, the game is making a triumphant return.
Cannon Dancer (also known as Osman) is a classic action jump & run adventure with a Persian-Arabian flair. Control the Cannon Dancer Kirin, an acrobatic, highly skilled martial arts fighter, and fight your way through several stages while defeating enemy forces. 
The world is controlled by a single federal government. Without warning, a new threat appears: Abdullah the Slaver, a female sorceress. Abdullah’s goal is to control the world and to cause panic and terror. The fear of her leads to abandonment of all economic activities and a corrupt government. Help Kirin rescue society and defeat Abdullah the Slaver but watch out for other betrayals.
