Four heroes, one shared pool of lives: Little Samson hands you a boy who throws bells and climbs walls, a dragon named Kikira who can hover briefly and breathe charged fire, Gamm the stone golem who shrugs off spikes, and K.O., a fragile but quick mouse that squeezes through gaps and drops bombs. Each has a separate life bar, and the opening stages introduce them one at a time before the game lets you swap freely. The goal is to stop the demon king Ta-Keed, who has escaped his seal and overrun the kingdom.
Takeru developed it and Taito published it in 1992, with the Japanese release titled Seirei Densetsu Lickle. Weak marketing left North American sales tiny, and the cartridge became one of the rarest and most expensive on the system. That reputation overshadows how polished it is: large detailed sprites, smooth animation and level layouts built around choosing the right character for each obstacle.
Tips for Little Samson
Keep K.O. and Kikira out of heavy fights; a character who dies stays unavailable until the stage ends or a potion revives them.
Use Gamm for spike floors and tough bosses, since he walks on spikes and hits hardest despite his slow pace.
If Samson himself falls, the stage restarts, so protect him above the others.
