Super Black Onyx is a Japanese Bullet Proof Software Famicom RPG, improved version of the Black Onyx classic, with its adventurer group exploring fantasy dungeons. The representation offers first person view with turn based combat and character progression in an adapted Japanese western CRPG formula. Without western release, curiosity for Famicom RPG fans in the 8 bit Bullet Proof production vein.

Famicom conversion of Henk Rogers' Black Onyx, often cited as the first RPG actually designed in Japan. Its appeal rests on that founding status rather than scarcity. Never released in the West, it draws students of JRPG history rather than completists, with extra pull from BPS, the publisher behind Tetris in Japan, and the cartridge's documented place in the genre's early lineage.
