Magic Sword

Capcom's 1990 title Magic Sword is a side-scrolling action platformer that takes place in a medieval fantasy setting. Players are tasked with ascending the 50-floor tower of the evil lord Drokmar, hacking through monsters with every step. The implementation of a stamina meter that determines your attack's strength and a variety of power-up items allow the game to be both fun and surprisingly deep.
