Personal review

A typical Famicom adventure game. Then again, this is a pretty important one because it is the first game in the long "Detective Saburo Jinguji" adventure game series, which is sadly mostly unknown in the west. The story is a typical murder case and with a step by step walkthrough you could finish the game, but without the ability to read Japanese you won't enjoy the game very much. Technically the game is above average I think. Graphics are ok, although there are not really many locations. The characters look rather good as well. There is not much music/sfx though.
