A Japanese top-down shooter featuring a jetpack firefighter. Original concept but uneven execution. More of a visual and conceptual curiosity than a genuine recommendation.

Collector interest

A Sofel Famicom exclusive never ported westward, this horizontal shooter is sought mainly for its import status. The title's low profile in Japan meant a limited run, and its complete absence from the western NES market concentrates demand among collectors building full Famicom catalogs. Its value rests on that territorial exclusivity rather than any standout ludic reputation.
