Item Description
Orin doesn't fight alone. His falcon, Cutrus, flies at his side and dives into battle against soldiers, mutants and dukes, and in 8 Eyes that partnership is the whole hook: hand the second controller to a friend and they take over the bird while you handle the swordplay, a co-op setup few NES games ever tried. Developed by Thinking Rabbit, the studio behind Sokoban, and brought to North America by Taxan in 1990, it's a gothic action game that wears its Castlevania influence proudly.
The setting is a post-apocalyptic future in which eight jewels, the 8 Eyes, formed at the hearts of nuclear blasts. The Great King used them to rebuild civilization until eight power-hungry dukes seized them, and Orin must storm each duke's castle to win them back. The first seven castles can be tackled in any order, and that freedom has a sting in it, because some routes are far kinder than others and the game never simply tells you which. Hints are hidden throughout the castles, as are clues for the finale, where the jewels must be returned in the correct sequence. Play solo and you control Orin and Cutrus at once, which makes an already tough game considerably harder.
The story behind all this is a localization invention: the Japanese original told a completely different tale, and the post-nuclear rewrite, grafted onto castles full of gothic trappings, is part of the game's oddball charm. Each duke's stronghold has its own look and its own guardian waiting at the end, and the falcon's dives become a real weapon once you learn to aim them. Critics were lukewarm at the time, but 8 Eyes has won a cult following among players who love a hard, secret-laden castle crawl, and handing a friend the falcon makes for a co-op night unlike any other in the NES library.

About the game
8 Eyes is an action game set in a post-nuclear future where rebellious dukes have seized eight powerful jewels. Players control Orin the Falconer as he enters each duke’s castle, battles soldiers and mutants, defeats its guardian, and recovers the jewels for the Great King. Orin fights with a sword and special weapons while directing his falcon, Cutrus. In the two-player mode, a second player controls Cutrus independently.
