Parasol Henbee is a Japanese Epoch Famicom platform with character Henbee equipped with magical parasol fighting fantastic creatures. The representation chains platform and fixed pattern combat with parasol as weapon in an original offbeat family license formula. Without western release, curiosity for Famicom platform fans in the 8 bit Epoch production vein.

Collector interest

An Epoch platformer drawn from a manga by Yoshito Usui, later creator of Crayon Shin-chan, this Famicom-only title was never localised. Its colourful shojo licence, little known outside Japan, narrows the appeal to domestic players and fans of forgotten manga tie-ins. Epoch produced in modest quantities, and the Japanese complete copy is markedly harder to find than the cart, supporting a price well above the genre average.
