Karnov

Karnov is a classic side-scrolling action arcade game developed by Data East in 1987. The game features a unique protagonist named Jinborov Karnovski, or "Karnov", a fire-breathing, muscle-bound, bald, shirtless strongman from the fictional land of Karnov. Initially released in arcades, Karnov was later ported to home consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment System and various computer platforms such as the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS.
