Released in 1989 by Bandai and TOSE to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Weekly Shonen Jump, Famicom Jump: Eiyuu Retsuden is a massive action RPG crossover for the NES. As a young reader pulled into the Jump World, you must journey across a sprawling map to assemble a dream team of 16 legendary manga heroesโincluding Goku, Kenshiro, Pegasus Seiya, and Ryo Saebaโto stop Piccolo from conquering the universe.
How to Play
Your goal is to explore the overworld, recruit heroes, and survive both real-time encounters and varied action minigames. Use the Arrow Keys to move your character, press Z (B button) and X (A button) to attack or confirm actions, and hit Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips for Success
- Watch your stats: Victory in battle will randomly either increase your POWER stat or reward you with ZENI currency. Keep an ear out for the specific sound cue that indicates your power has leveled up.
- Stock up on supplies: ZENI is crucial for buying Onigiri (rice balls) at shops to restore your LIFE hearts, as well as purchasing Jump Magazines to save your progress.
- Check everything: Progression often requires you to interact directly with the environment. If you are stuck, try pushing specific rocks or objects to reveal hidden pathways.
