input ="Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Dōchū" (Persevere Goemon! A tricky journey) is a
video game produced byKonami . It is the second game in theGanbare Goemon series and the first released on a video game console and home computer. It was initially released for the Famicom in1986 and later released for the MSX 2 one year later. The Famicom version was re-released inJapan only for theGame Boy Advance under theFamicom Mini label.The game revolves around the main character Goemon, and his exploits. As the name suggests, his character was based on
Ishikawa Goemon , the noble thief of Japanese Folklore. Unlike its sequels, this game still doesn't features the comic situation and strange characters that define the series, and Goemon is portrayed as a noble thief rather than a plain hero.The game plays a top view action/adventure game (similar to the
Legend of Zelda ) though it is separated by stages. In each level Goemon must find three passes in order to advance. Some of these passes are found in boxes, secret passages or can be bought.Like the rest of the series, Goemon can be powered up if certain items are found and/or bought, which can be lost after a few hits.
The MSX version has the option to be played by turns by two players, with the second player playing as a ninja named
Nezumi Kozō , which is the basis of Goemon's sidekick Ebisumaru.External links
