Pyokotan no Dai Meiro

Pyokotan no Dai Meiro
Developer: Japan System Supply Publisher: Sunsoft Platform: NES Released in JP: March 19, 1993 This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden level select.

Pyokotan no Dai Meiro (Pyokotan's Large Maze) was a late release for the Famicom, and as a result is sought after by collectors. The game basically plays as a series of minigames that must be beaten to advance to the next stage. Naturally, the minigames get more difficult as the game goes on. There's really not much to this game, probably because it was targeted toward a younger audience.

Oh, and it also makes the worst use of Sunsoft's beloved sound engine, resembling something came out on a Sega Pico rather than some of the more well-known Sunsoft games.
