'''The Fairyland Story''' is a [[platform]] arcade game, which was released by [[Taito Corporation]] in [[1985]]; it utilizes two Zilog Z80 microprocessors (one running up at 5.3665 MHz and the other at 4 MHz) and a Motorola M68705 sub-microprocessor (running at 2 MHz), with a General Instrument AY-3-8910 and OKI MSM-5232 (running at 2 MHz) and DAC for sound. The player must use a 2-way joystick to take control of a young witch named Ptolemy, with a singular button to make her turn a variety of enemies (including wizards and witches) into cakes, then push them off the edges of the platforms to kill them - however, if any enemy should touch Ptolemy (unless she lands on their heads), they will trap her in a bubble and she will fly away (which not only costs her a life, but also causes any enemies she may have destroyed on the current stage to get resurrected when she is returned to it). This game can be seen as a precursor to Taito's own [[Bubble Bobble]] ([[1986]]) and [[Don Doko Don]] ([[1989]]), which serve as the basis for the third, and ninth, stages in the "Parody Mode" of [[Space Invaders DX]] ([[1994]]), and this game also served as the basis for the second stage; it was later ported to the [[MSX]] in [[1987]] by [[Hot-B]] and to the [[Sharp X68000]] on September 27, [[1991]] by [[OeRSTED]] (however, the conversion was done after Taito changed their logo in [[1988]], so it has their then-current "triangular" logo on its front cover, as opposed to their "serif-text" one seen on the original's title screen and MSX version's front cover). | '''The Fairyland Story''' is a [[platform]] arcade game, which was released by [[Taito Corporation]] in [[1985]]; it utilizes two Zilog Z80 microprocessors (one running up at 5.3665 MHz and the other at 4 MHz) and a Motorola M68705 sub-microprocessor (running at 2 MHz), with a General Instrument AY-3-8910 and OKI MSM-5232 (running at 2 MHz) and DAC for sound.
