Personal review

"Meiro Daisakusen" is the fifth game in Bandai's Family Trainer series requiring the Power Pad peripheral. The scenario and objective of this game are quite different from the other games in this series so far. Instead of some kind of sports game it is a dungeon exploring game. Find keys and the exit to the next floor. Monsters roam the dungeons of course which should be avoided and there are other obstacles to overcome. Since I lack a Power Pad I can't say exactly how good it works with it and how much fun it is. I can only say that the controls didn't work well with emulators and I didn't spend much time exploring the mazes. But maybe it is a bit better than in my first impression.
