Item description

Square's Tom Sawyer (スクウェアのトム・ソーヤ ) is an excellent RPG that was never localized despite being based on a classic American novel. There is good reason though. The portrayal of the Jim character is considered very racist by Western standards (and frankly it was probably racist even for Japanese standards). As a historical piece it is still a very interesting game but it is unlikely it will ever get a re-release.

If you don't know Japanese there is a useful guide here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/nes/579502-square-no-tom-sawyer/faqs which should get you through the game.

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.
