The best kind of adorable Famicom jank.

there’s a new post on the world’s greatest obscure videogames review blog! today’s subject stars an early example of that undersubscribed category, the playable videogame mum. go and read about it!

Onyanko Town, above, is a Pac-Man clone that was released for the Nintendo Famicom back in 1985.
It’s a bit rough, I’ve got to admit, but its heart is in the right place and it’s also pretty darn cute, so I like it a lot despite its many issues.
Speaking of cute, Onyanko Town’s outer box is pretty darn adorable, don’t you think? The back of its box, as well as its cartridge label and instruction manual, are similarly adorable.
See photos of the above, plus learn a thing or two about this import’s gameplay, in my blog post: “Nice Package! (Onyanko Town, Famicom)”
What’s this? Why it’s a page from the instruction manual made for Pony Canyon’s Famicom-based Pac-Man clone from 1985, Onyanko Town.
To see the whole she-bang, check out this blog post of mine: “Manual Stimulation: Onyanko Town (Famicom)”
(Pssst! You can find photos of the Onyanko Town box and cartridge here.)
Onyanko Town November 21, 1985 // Family Computer
This game has quite a reputation as a kusoge, but I don't necessarily know if it's that bad. It's not good, either, but I've already played plenty of mediocre maze chase games and it's still 1985... In Onyanko Town you play as a mama cat whose child has run away from home, with your goal to retrieve them and bring them back to your home. The town is full of child mo—uh, dogs—but thankfully mama cat has remote control of all the manholes in the town (???) so you open them up and get the dogs to fall in. This is the first game to use stranger danger as a major theme. The gameplay is very simple and repetitive, but what maze chase game isn't? Maybe the biggest issue is the music, which consists of a single, miserable 8-second loop that could probably be used as torture at a CIA black site.
