Personal review

"Super Boy Allan" is the second game in Sunsoft's math edutainment series for the Famicom Disk System. The concept is very similar to the first game, Adian no Tsue. You have the choice between two game modes. The first mode is a top-down view game where you have to push blocks and evade monsters. Looks like The Legend of Zelda but doesn't play like it. The second mode is very similar to the second mode of Adian no Tsue, only that this time you are traveling through the USA and its all about fractions. Still a very boring product, but at least it features a huge manual with complete manga again.
