| Koneko Monogatari: The Adventures of Chatran | Pony Canyon (Marionette) | 1986 | Koneko Monogatari is based on the movie "The Adventures of Chatran" (also known as "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" in the US). It is an average, slow-paced platform game with cute graphics aimed at children. Collect fruits for points and avoid all hostile animals - though not always hostile looking, and dying by being hit by a rain drop is also rather uncommon I think. The game consists of 24 stages, each stage representing one month of a year with a day and night stage each. As I mentioned the game's pace is kinda slow and unexciting, but not unplayable. Worst part is the music, which is really annoying in both the day and night stages. | labelimageminimize |
| Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima - Zenpen | Nintendo (Pax Softnica;Nintendo) | 1987 | When thinking about Nintendo games, adventure games are not the first genre that come to my mind. But it seems Nintendo has done some of them. "Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima" is a traditional console adventure game with the normal menu driven system. However it is also very different because it oozes traditional Japanese writing style with text displayed on "scrolls" and read from left to right. Despite a lack of translation available I enjoyed it with a solution at hand, although it is nothing that would let me say "Wow!". The Famicom Disk System just isn't a strong enough system to impress with graphics in adventure games (homecomputers were better in that regard). It is also irritating, that this game represents only the first half of the whole game. In order to continue with the game you had to buy the second part named "Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima - Kouhen" which was released a few weeks later. | labelimageminimize |
| Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima - Kouhen | Nintendo (Pax Softnica;Nintendo) | 1987 | This is the second and last part of the Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima adventure game from Nintendo, released a few weeks after the first part. It is important to note that this is only playable if you have finished the first part and cannot be started independently. This is also my main complaint about this game. The rest is just the same classic menu driven adventure gameplay that already appeared in the first part. Enjoyable with the proper walkthrough, but sadly no translation available (yet). | labelimageminimize |
