Saint Seiya - Ougon Densetsu is a side-scrolling action video game based on the popular manga and anime series of the same name. The game was released in Japan for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1987, and later released in Europe as Knights of the Zodiac. It was developed by Bandai, and was one of the first games to be based on a manga or anime franchise.

The story follows five young Saints, also known as Bronze Saints, who are tasked with defending Athena, the goddess of justice and peace. The Bronze Saints must battle their way through various enemies and obstacles to reach their goal. Along the way, they will gain new abilities and meet allies who can help them on their journey. The player controls one of the five Bronze Saints as they make their way through eight levels, each with its own unique boss at the end.

The gameplay of Saint Seiya - Ougon Densetsu is similar to other side-scrolling action games from its era. The player must make their way through each level by fighting off enemies using various techniques such as punching, kicking, and special attacks that can be used when certain button combinations are pressed. Each level also has several items that can be collected to increase health or power up attacks. As they progress through each level, players will face increasingly difficult enemies and obstacles that must be overcome before reaching the end of stage boss fight.

Saint Seiya - Ougon Densetsu features colorful graphics and detailed animations which capture the essence of its source material perfectly. The music is also well composed and fitting for each stage; it enhances the atmosphere during battles while still remaining catchy enough to hum along to after playing. Overall Saint Seiya - Ougon Densetsu provides an enjoyable experience for fans of both its source material as well as gamers looking for a classic side-scrolling action game with memorable characters and exciting battles against powerful foes.
