Now, as far I can tell from playing for about an hour, Peach Boy Katsugeki is pretty rad. In terms of gameplay, it's somewhat similar to Zelda II on the NES.

I've never played the game before, but this part has got me interested. Like Zelda II? I must investigate...

Don't take that to mean they're very close, at all. There's no free-roaming overhead map and thus, none of Zelda II's semi-random overhead battle encounters, no magic (at least, that I can see so far!)... it's just the first game comparison I thought of, since both feature a sword (that shoots) and side-scrolling platforming. You can also increase your HP, upgrade your sword (oops, I guess I mentioned both of those already), and shop and talk to townsfolk. The overall vibe, thus far, just kinda reminds me of Zelda II. But on its own, it's still a really fun game so far.

I guess it's actually closer to a Wonder Boy game. It's cheap -- pick it up when you can.
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Where is fancy bred?

I'm a big Wonder Boy fan and of action/adventure/platforming/rpg hybrids in general so it sounds like my kind of game. Zelda II is a very unique and IMO very underrated, there aren't many games quite like it.

Back to Katsugeki though I can't seem to find any info about it anywhere. It must be really obscure or I'm looking it up wrong.

Here's some gameplay footage:

Thanks! Yeah, made it all the way to Area 7 on my first life yesterday and then promptly dumped every single one on Area 8. But it shouldn't be long. I'll be sure to post my score when I complete it. Awesome, awesome shooter. I adore the music, too!

Hi all, new to the forum. Long-time owner (Christmas of 1990) and am happy to stumble upon this! Currently playing Neo-Nectaris.... many wasted hours to go, I'm sure.
