Item description
Firework Thrower Kantaro's 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō / Kanshaku tamanage Kantarō no Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi (かんしゃく玉投げカン太郎の東海道五十三次) is a classic early Sunsoft action game. The description from Wiki for this game is really good, so I will just paste it here:
"The player controls Kantaro, who must pass through various side-scrolling levels while fending off enemies throwing firework grenades. Some enemies are unaffected by grenades, and can only be killed off by explosions from grenades planted on the ground; some are impervious to all of Kantaro's weapons and must be avoided. Various non-player characters attempt to hinder Kantaro's progress, including a prostitute and a ghost who decrease Kantaro's speed, a thief who steals all items held by Kantaro and a border patrol officer, but various items, including a kanzashi, an ofuda and a katana can allow the player to avoid conflict with these characters. Koban are collected throughout the levels and is generally used for creating bridges over rivers. A set amount must be paid to the border patrol officer if the passport item is not present, with secret passages to other levels costing more. An onigiri grants the player temporary invincibility and transforms Kantaro into a ball, allowing him to roll over enemies. A geta allows Kantaro to traverse on clouds."
The game has been tested on an actual Famicom system and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Check the condition before buying. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Famicom games before buying. This cart will not run on an unmodified NES system. It should run on most Famicom clones but I cannot guarantee it's compatibility.
Loose Famicom carts will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Boxed or fragile games will be cushioned with bubble wrap or newspaper and put in a larger box. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
As always, if you have any questions about this or any item on the store, you can contact me on:
