Karnov is a 1987 arcade game by Data East. The game puts the half-naked, fire-breathing, ex-circus freak hero on a quest to search for treasures. However, between him and the treasures were several horrendous monsters, including sword wielding monks, foot hopping giant fishes and ostriches.
Karnov later became Data East's mascot, and was reintroduced in many other Data East games, including Bad Dudes in which he played a boss. Karnov would later appear in 1994 in another one of his own games called Karnov's Revenge.
