Dark Adventure (aka Devil World, not to be confused with the Nintendo video game of the same name) was a fantasy-themed, dimetric arcade game released by Konami in 1987.

Some releases of the game offer three playable characters: Labryna, Zorlock, and Condor; in other versions, only Labryna and Zorlock are available, and with different weapons.
