Name: The Great Voyage of Hyoutanjima
Author/Vendor: Sega
Released: 1992
Type: Board game
Language: Japanese
Premise: This whimsical little board game centers on the adventures of a group of marionettes who live on a floating island. Based on a popular Japanese children's TV show from a while back.
Impressions: Reminds me a lot of some of the shows I used to watch as a kid - oops, there I go, dating myself again (anyone for Kukla, Fran, and Ollie?). Useless without a translation except for those who know the language.
Variations: The full untranslated Japanese title is Hyoukori Hyoutanjima no Daikoukai. It is often referred to either as Hyoukori Hyoutanjima or Hyoutanjima no Daikoukai.
There is also a Game Gear rendition available.
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X (you must use the player 2 joystick in all emulators to play the game)
