Little Samson (Seirei Densetsu Lickle, "Holy Bell Legend Lickle") is a Platform Game for the NES, published in 1992 by Taito. It was the only game from the obscure developer Takeru (also responsible for Cocoron) to be released outside Japan, albeit in very limited quantities.When Ta-Keed, the Prince of Darkness breaks loose and wreaks havoc on the countryside, Emperor Hans summons the owners of the Majestic Bells of Power: A boy, a dragon, a golem and a mouse. These four heroes, Little Samson, Kikira, Gamm and K.O., assemble to fight Ta-Keed and his minions. |

comment |
Balance, Power, Skill, Gimmick: In order, Samson (who can complete every stage by himself — albeit with difficulty), Gamm (who has the strongest attack but the slowest movement), KO (who moves the fastest but has the least health), and Kikira (a Lightning Bruiser whose shots fire at an angle). |

| Little Samson (Video Game) / int_36e1cea |
comment |
The Punishment Is the Crime: Gamm the Golem was once a great thief who stole a potion that turned him into a golem, the worst possible form one could have and be a thief. This caused his Heel–Face Turn. |

Fighting Your Friend: Just as the party all comes together, Kikira refuses and throws a tantrum attacking Little Samson, starting the first Boss Battle and giving an idea of why she was cursed. As the manual says, she "may need some coaxing by Samson to obey." |

comment |
Forced Transformation: Every hero but Samson Was Once a Man. Kikira was once a young girl who had been turned into a dragon for being a jerk and Gamm was a thief who broke into the great wizard K.O.'s atelier and caused an accident that caused their transformation into a golem and mouse, respectively. Unusually, all three of the transformed characters seem happy in their new forms and retain them in the ending. |

comment |
We Cannot Go On Without You: If a character dies, they're out of the game until the player either beats the current level or the character in question has a health potion they can be revived with. If Samson dies, however, he's dumped back to the start of the stage / boss fight with his health meter refilled, but minus one life (and if there's no lives, Game Over.) |
