Genji Tsūshin Agedama is a side scrolling game by
Nec home Electronics which features an interesting blend of shooting and platforming action.
It is based on a really funny Japanese animation series featuring a young boy and his
rabbit-like flying robot. The boy can walk and jump (this is the platform side of the game)
but the screen never stop scrolling throughout the game (this is the shooter side of the game).
As a simplistic way to look at it, let's say it is a shooter with a pinch of gravity.
Features do not stop here though, and pressing up and
jump at the same time triggers double jumps! Our character has also access to magic powers:
fire, wind, genie, thunder and so forth. To use them,
the player first needs to collect the correct power-up icon. Then, by holding
the fire button, he can charge-up and fire a powerful attack that
wipes out most of the enemies on screen. All in all, the game counts fifteen
different special attacks!
Other power-ups can also be collected, like the
yellow (invincibility) or blue (flying goblin) droplets.
Waparu, the rabbit-robot, appears from time to time and help our hero by
replenishing his health.

Genji Tsūshin Agedama is a nice little game and
it certainly reminds me of Takahashi Meijin no Bôken Jima
(aka New Adventure Island).
The hero's controls are nice and curiously easy to master.
The game has also tons of great surprises and is overall
fun to play.
Stages are really varied and the difficulty level
is progressive and very well balanced. However, the game
becomes way too easy when all the main weapons and special
attacks are at their peaks - you can just keep firing them
and easily progress through the game... All in all,
Genji Tsūshin Agedama is a fun game and a good combo
of shooting and platforming action that deserves all your
attention.
