JUMP MAGAZINE HERO RETSUDEN- JUMP 20th ANNIVERSARY GAME

I've been looking for this game for a long time. I'm an old school anime fan, and of course, my favorite series or all time is KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD. Having read the manga, seen the series, bought all the expensive junk,etc. I was very disapointed that they never made a KOR video game. MAISON IKKOKU (runner up to #1 of course!) has a game (on PC ENGINE and FAMICOM), so why not KOR?

Years later, while browsing through famicom games, I came upon this: HERO RETSUDEN. A JUMP RPG game that features ALL the jump characters. That's right, somewhere in this ancient (and probably mediocre) game is a little 8 bit Madoka sprite. I have yet to play the game, but when I find her, I'll post pictures. Grasping at straws like this is a little sad (coming up on the big 20! Ack!), but fun also. The box is a laugh too, it's like finding waldo. On the back of the box, she's smaller than the large print... lol

Take a look and enjoy the box scans, there are links to nice, big, quality pictures. It took me a long time to find a game with a box, let alone in good shape. You can thank photoshop for the nice edges...

As to the game price / availability... This one came from a guys basement in Tokyo. Ebay? Well, you'll have to battle off the Dragonball fans, and that's not fun or cheap. In Japan you can expect to pay about $30 as famicom is a "nostalgia" buy right now. But it's not easy to find..

LONG LIVE THE RED HAT DAYS.. Nostalgic, ne?   ON TO PAGE TWO
