Doraemon

The first Doraemon game for a Nintendo console consists of three very different stages. In the first stage you run around in a maze-like city with several underground passages that have important extra items. The second stage is a typical shoot'em up sequence with horizontal and vertical scrolling parts. In the third and last stage you have to swim underwater, collect items which opens walls and chests and find your three friends and finally rescue a girl at the end. Technically this game is rather good, there is nearly no flickering and the graphics look ok. Difficulty is rather high. The most annoying part of the game is the third stage and its way you collect and manage your items. You can only carry one item (or two with an extra bag) at the same time. And only three items may be in one screen at once or they don't carry over to the next screen. The game, despite its huge success in Japan, has a bad reputation, but all in all its a pretty average and sadly unfair game.
