Overview

Bullfight is a classic arcade game where players control a matador armed with a sword and red cape in duels against charging bulls. The core gameplay involves using the cape to deflect bull charges while attempting to stab the bull at a marked target on its spine to win each stage. Players can be disarmed during combat and must retrieve their sword, while wounded bulls may recover and shake off the weapon, requiring repeated attempts. The difficulty escalates in later stages with multiple bulls entering the arena simultaneously, forcing players to dodge one bull while targeting another. Bonus stages challenge players to survive unarmed against charging bulls for as long as possible, testing reflexes and timing without offensive capabilities.
