Masuzoe Yōichi Asa Made Famicom is a digital comic by Coconut Japan and
features the Japanese politician Yōchi Masuzoe. In this intra-office text
adventure game, the player is put in the shoes of a businessman who has to instruct
his secretary, give phone calls, act favoratory to his peers, gain the favor of his boss
and finally find out about the company's factions. The game is divided into four
different chapters. Once a chapter is completed, Yoichi Masuzoe asks the
players a series of twenty questions. These quiz-questions, however, do not affect
the gameplay and only seem to influence the ending of the game. The game's controls
are fairly straightforward - an action menu lets the player look around, pick and use
items or talk to people from the active view. The bottom of the screen displays text
or available choices. A simple password system allows the player to save his game at will.

Yōichi Masuzoe is a Japanese politician and, back in the 1980s,
he used to appear on numerous political TV shows such as the late night
live show Asa Made Terebi Nama! (朝まで生テレビ! ). The name of
the game obviously references this Japanese TV show. The picture on
the left shows a more recent picture of Yōichi Masuzoe.

Masuzoe Yōichi Asa Made Famicom is more of a curiosity than
a title you'd want to play for long hours. First of all, Japanese
language is an obvious barrier - the game uses pictorial icons that
represent standard actions but the in-game text features many Kanjis
and japanese Kanas. Then, given the subject matter of the game, you
will also want to know about Japanese culture and especially about
Japanese business code... All in all Masuzoe Yōichi Asa Made Famicom
is an interesting piece of video game history but is a limited experience
to a non-japanese audience.
