Collector interest

A shooting adventure published by Kemco in 1986, a Famicom exclusive from the console's early years. Its collecting interest rests on its age within the Kemco catalogue and an oxygen-management system unusual for the time, more than on any ludic reputation. A low-key Japanese title never exported, it documents the experimental phase of shoot-adventure on Famicom rather than driving strong demand.
