This is undoubtedly:
Akiyamajin no Suugaku Mystery- Hihou Indo no Honoo wo Sisyu Seyo
(NHCD4001)
I was a promotional only sort of title, very few copies of it
were made (hence the extreme rarity and high price that it fetches).
Last I heard it was getting $1,500 per copy.
It has 2 parts, one is an interactive comic, the other is a quiz
sort of game. Both parts appears to have math problems in them.
Of course they are completely in Japanese, so soem knowledge is
needed to get anywhere in them.
As far as I have been able to get in them with my limited Japanese
language skills, it is rather well done. Certainly not going
to unseat DracX for gameplay, but the style and animation used in the
game beat a lot of the "less advanced" PCE games that hit the markets.
(I would love to see any images, if you can email them to me
I can put them up on pcecp.com -- I do have a copy of this title,
it came in a jewel case with no manual, only backing art, so I
do not know if it is 'compelte' or truly missing the manual since
I have no idea how it was actually distributed. It is included
on PCECP, but I have not had a chance to uplaod images for it yet)
Anyone else care to chime in and fill in the missing details ?
