- In Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., a side scrolling action game released by Hect for the Family Computer in 1992,[2][3] the player controls a green-haired boy[4] named Ricky Slater on a quest to rescue his kidnapped family from the evil necromancer, Count Crimson.[5] It features gameplay similar to that of Zelda II[6] and Prince of Persia, as well as cutscenes like those found in Ninja Gaiden, all in a Steampunk setting.[7] Levels include a pirate ship and a clock tower.[8] The game uses Kanji in dialogue, which was rare for games of that era, which typically use katakana.[4]
- The game sold few copies in its limited release, due its timing late in the Famicom's lifespan.[4] Upon release, the Japanese gaming publication Weekly Famitsu gave it a score of 24 out of 40 and praised the smoothness of the character animations.[9] 1up.com and Retro Gamer retrospectively considered the game's graphics and animation of a higher quality than the many Zelda II clones for the Famicom.[6][7] A North American version was planned and previewed publicly,[8][10] but was ultimately cancelled, possibly due to the NES' waning popularity in the region and the rising popularity of the Super NES console.[6] The game has never been released outside of Japan,[11] nor has it been re-released in emulation for other systems.[3] Its rarity has made it a collector's item in Japan's used games market.[4]
