Dead Zone

Dead Zone is an early adventure game for the Famicom Disk System. You play a guy named Kirk who visits his girlfriend Marie on a space station. But the station was taken over by an evil robot being and now its up to you to find Marie and rescue her. You are accompanied by your little robot friend Carry. The game is not very huge or complex with about 30 different locations/screens. The graphics are unspectacular and there is no ingame-music. There are a couple of speech samples though. Without some basic skills in Japanese you won't understand the story of course, an unofficial English translation is not yet available. So it is an overall average Sci-Fi adventure game. The most surprising part was a little mini-game at about half-through the game where you control Carry and he has to catch things that is thrown to him by an old man. This mini-game stands totally out of the games' context as far as I can tell, but you must finish it successfully to be able to continue with the adventure part.
