Colorful Dragon (Chinese: 變色龍; pinyin: Biànsèlóng; lit. 'Chameleon'), is a maze game developed and published by Sachen for the Nintendo Entertainment System on 1989 in Asia. Bunch Games later licensed the game for distribution in North America for a 1990 release, and published it as Tagin' Dragon.
The game was not licensed by Nintendo.[1] Sachen republished Colorful Dragon in the multi-game cartridge Super Cartridge Version 6: 6-in-1.
Gameplay
The player controls a dragon, in a maze chase game copaired to Pac-Man or Bomberman, attempting to bite the tails off other dragons.[2][3] The longer a dragon's tail, the more bites required to defeat it. There are a total 20 mazes.[citation needed]
Two players may play either competitively or cooperatively.[3]

A review in Polish magazine Top Secret thought that both the graphics and music average, but that the increase in challenge in later levels put it slightly above other arcade style games.[2]
