Personal review
"Gomoku Narabe Renju" is the first board game for the Famicom. It features three difficulty levels, from beginner to advanced. A two-player mode allows you to also play against a friend. It is a very basic interpretation of a Go(moku) game. Not suprisingly the graphics are pretty underwhelming and the game lacks motivating features. Only for die-hard Gomoku or board game fans.

Description
Gomoku Narabe Renju is a Japan-exclusive video game for the Family Computer (in addition to the Virtual Console) which is based on the board game Connect Five. There are three difficulty levels in addition to a two-player mode - beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Unlike tic-tac-toe where there is usually a draw if both players pay attention, there is always a possibility to win in Gomoku Narabe. Since 1936, studies have proven that players controlling the "black" tiles can win by playing a completely perfect game. Some rules were introduced to keep the game fair and to reduce black's advantage on the board. The game follows the Renju rules. For example, the player controlling the black tiles only wins with five pieces in a row. Rows of six or more are called overlines and will result in a loss instead. White tile-controlling players, on the other hand, has no such restrictions and can win by collecting a row of five or more tiles.
