In today's marginally spooky pre-Halloween fact:

did you know that the Woody Pigs from Ghosts n Goblins / Makaimura are the angry spirits of pigs that have been cooked? They hate garlic & their weapon is not a spear, it's a leek / green onion

1982 was very early for Japanese adventure games, with only a small number of releases. Takara Building Adventure thus is one of the earliest adventure games in Japanese, but it was not generally available...

...until today.

Includes some unexpected history!

Takara Building Adventure Part 1 (1982)
The last time I wrote about a Japanese game was with The Palms, where I mentioned skipping over two games from 1982 because there were no copies available. This was one of them. Brief history recap…

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
Huff is out for another week or so. You may be thinking of Nick Bosa.

The Bomberman character is pretty well known, but did you know the very first Bomberman game for Japanese computers just featured a generic dude?
The sequel, 3D Bomberman, was a 1st person maze crawler also featured a generic man.
It wasn't until... (continued)

Bub's going to get shitfaced with Poop-Kun🍸

Poop-kun only appears after you've input the initials STR into the high score table. Play again & the round 1 item will be a flamingo & if you collect it, all remaining bubbles become Poop-Kuns when you clear the stage
