Shikinjou, or Shikinjoh, is a puzzle game inspired by Mahjong Solitaire and Sokoban. Like most Mahjong Solitaire variants, it takes its name from a region in China: in this case, the former Imperial Palace of China, also known as The Forbidden City. The goal of the game is to get the protagonist, who is a jiang shi by default, to the exit. To do this they must push mahjong tiles out of the way. Most mahjong tiles will disappear once they touch one or more of the same type, and these tiles will also vanish along with it. Some, like the dragon or wind tiles, are barricades that will transform any tile that comes into contact into another barricade. The player can also switch graphical modes, which changes all the tiles, the protagonist, and even the background and UI. These graphical modes include alternative themes like space, medieval knights, and Japanese ninja (with shogi tiles replacing the mahjong tiles).Puzslot

1992
Gimme A Break: Shijou Saikyou no Quiz Ou Ketteisen 2, released for the Famicom in 1992, is the second game in a series by Yonezawa PR21 based on a real Japanese game show. This game is significantly better than the first game in the series, but also much harder. If you can't read Japanese very fast and if you are not going to cheat using save states, then this game is going to be a huge problem to beat. But it seems like a native Japanese speaking person would find this game to be a lot of fun. The game flow is the following. You choose a region of Japan that your character lives in. Then you will compete in the regional quiz championships. This is composed of a qualifying quiz that you have to get 10 questions right to pass, then you compete against the other contestants from your region that also passed the qualifying test. If you get first or second place, you will move on to the national level of the game. Again, you must pass a qualifying quiz. Then you will compete against the other contestants that made itGimme a Break: Shijou Saikyou no Quiz-ou Ketteisen

Despite sharing a name with the American release of Super Airwolf and sharing a publisher, CrossFire is a very different game; whereas the Genesis game is a top-down Commando-style run-and-gun, the Famicom game is a single-plane side-scroller, more akin to Contra with brawler implements.The Best Play Baseball II

Airwolf
1988
Airwolf, based on the Donald Bellisario 80s TV show about a hi-tech military helicopter solving Cold War era missions, is a horizontal shoot-em-up. Kyugo Boueki originally created it for the Arcades in 1987 and it would receive an NES home version the following year. It is not to be confused with the 1989 Airwolf licensed game from Beam Entertainment and Acclaim. The player receives their mission via an introductory cutscene, chooses the weapon load-out for the Airwolf that best suits the kind of resistance they're likely to face (so an emphasis on bombs if there's expected to be a lot of ground units) and is sent off to complete the mission. For the boss battles, the game will occasionally switch to a first-person view in which the controller guides a set of crosshairs on screen. The goal of these battles is to shoot down each element of the boss (guns, etc.) as well as any projectiles the boss sends the player's way.
