8 Eyes is an exciting video game that came out in 1988. It was made by a company called Thinking Rabbit for the Nintendo Entertainment System, also known as the NES. This game lets you play alone or with a friend!

The game has eight different levels. Each level is set in a unique part of the world. The music for the game was created by Kenzou Kumei. He made three songs for each of the eight levels. Many people think 8 Eyes looks and plays a lot like the famous Castlevania games. The main hero in 8 Eyes is named Orin. He even looks a bit like Simon Belmont, the hero from Castlevania!

How to Play 8 Eyes

In 8 Eyes, you control Orin, a brave hero. He uses a sword to fight enemies. You also have a special helper, a falcon named Cutrus. You can control both Orin and Cutrus at the same time! This makes the game unique.

Working Together with Cutrus

When you play alone, you switch between controlling Orin and Cutrus. You need to use both of them to solve puzzles and defeat bad guys. If you play with a friend, one person controls Orin. The other person controls Cutrus. This makes teamwork very important to win the game.

Finding the Jewels

Your main goal in 8 Eyes is to find eight special jewels. These jewels are hidden in different castles around the world. Each castle is guarded by a powerful boss. You must defeat these bosses to get the jewels.

The Story of 8 Eyes
