Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima
Famicom Mukashibanashi: Shin Onigashima is a Famicom Disk System text
adventure game. The plot revolves around an elderly couple with no children
who adopt an infant boy and girl. When the children turn six, a dragon appears
in the country, and starts turning people into Oni who steal the souls of
others. The Oni arrive at their home and steal the elderly couple’s souls. The
children decide to save their adoptive parents.
The game is controlled by selecting commands such as the “Change Character”
command, which allows you to switch between controlling Donbe (the boy) and
Hikari (the girl). The game progress is shown by changes in the in-game
graphics. The Famicom Disk System version comes on two disks released on
different dates. Disk 2 cannot be played without completing Disk 1, and is
switched while the system is still powered on. All later releases are switch-
free.
