Lost Word of Jenny: Ushinawareta Message is an action-platformer released in 1987 for the Famicom (NES). Published by Takara, the game stars Japan’s popular fashion doll, Jenny, on a quest to recover pieces of a lost message. Players guide Jenny through varied, side-scrolling environmentsโranging from bustling towns to eerie haunted housesโdodging hazards and fending off bizarre enemies.
How to Play
The objective is to explore the stages and collect pieces of the titular lost message, often hidden behind doors or guarded by bosses. Navigate using the Arrow Keys (D-pad), jump with the Z key (A button), and attack with the X key (B button). Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select. Along the way, you can acquire power-ups like pepper spray or a baton to extend your attack range and better defend yourself.
Tips
- Keep an eye out for hidden doors; thorough exploration is required to find all the missing message fragments to complete a stage.
- Jenny’s standard kick has a very short reach. Prioritize picking up weapons like the baton as quickly as possible to safely deal with enemies.
