Jinborov Karnoviski, better known as Karnov, is the titular protagonist of the 1987 platformer Karnov.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Karnov is a retired Russian circus strongman with the curious ability to throw fireballs. When the evil dragon Ryu and his monstrous underlings invade the peaceful town of Creamina and steal the treasure of Babylon long hidden there, the terrified townsfolk calls upon Karnov to bring carnage upon the attackers.
Karnov being a Data East title, that is as elaborate as the plot gets, and you won't remember it anyway as you jump and flame your ways through increasingly bizarre levels. In the end, Karnov proved so popular that he becme a sort of unofficial mascot for Data East, and would appear in multiple other games of the company.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Karnov only appeared in 8chanmania XXI, and nothing beyond him not winning a belt there has survived.
