The game kicks off with Goemon and Ebisumaru chatting about something whilst in jail.
Somehow they escape and up starts the action... |
 |
The guards here don't put up much of a fight. Hell, you can even walk right in
and out of the cells to talk to the inmates. Not very well guarded, this jail is. |
 |
Ah, escape! The beautiful air of the Edo period in Japan (well, they didn't have
ozone problems back them so I can assume the air is fresh.) In any case, here Goemon is
attacking with coins (called Kobans) that his second level weapon. |
 |
Goemon can wander into houses and get advice (or useless chatter) from the townsfolk.
Here the person is asking Goemon to wipe his feet on the rug before entering (actually, I just made
that up...I have no clue what he's saying.) |
 |
The first boss is this cool sumo robot...c'mon, how can you NOT love a game with
stuff like this? It's so wacky and bizarre! The juxtaposition of mechanical robots in old
Japan is comical (I just used an English vocab word! ARGH!) |
 |
After each level Goemon will spread his wealth with the townsfolk, being the kind
soul he is. Go for it, Goemon! |
 |
The second level has volcanos in the background that spits out rocks. If you have
those walking shoes, be careful you don't plunge yourself off the bridges to your death. |
 |
Here's the hot bath house. Wow, something I understand! The left door says "Men" and the left says "Women"!
Aren't my Japanese skills amazing? |
 |
This is what happens when you enter the onna (woman) door. 8-bit titillation
at its best, of course (well, for now...there's more later...tee hee) |
 |
Where else can you fight killer monkeys by the shoreline? See, I told you this
game was cool. |
 |
Inside this palace lies a little mini-game where you can explore mazes in first
person mode. It costs a bit o' money though, but it's worth it for the goodies. |
 |
Well, here's a picture of the maze. If you wander around enough, you can find
a map that really helps you out. You can find passes here (vital to pass the level) and
other neat goodies. |
