 '''''Dervish''''' is an arcade game that was released by [[The Power House]] in 1988. The gameplay is very similar to ''[[Druid]]'', which was released by [[Firebird]] in 1986. The aim of the game, according to the text on the inlay, is to "journey through the eight levels of Awareness to reach the Upward Path", by using weapons and spells. In addition to a normal playing mode, there is also an Explore mode that allows the player to explore the levels freely without dying; however, the player cannot score any points.
