Tantei Jinguuji Saburou: Kiken na Futari – Kouhen is the thrilling second part of the classic detective mystery released for the Famicom Disk System (NES) in 1989. In this Japanese text adventure, you step back into the shoes of hardboiled private investigator Saburo Jinguji (known in the West as Jake Hunter) to unravel the conclusion of the “Dangerous Pair” case. Players must gather clues, question suspects, and piece together evidence to crack the mystery.
How to Play
As a text-heavy adventure game, gameplay revolves around navigating command menus to investigate your surroundings and speak with characters. Use the Arrow keys (D-pad) to browse through the available commands, press Z or X (A/B buttons) to confirm or cancel selections, and use Enter/Shift (Start/Select) to pause or access additional options. Note that the game is entirely in Japanese, so players unfamiliar with the language will need to rely on trial and error to progress through the menus.
Tips
In classic Famicom Disk System adventure games, progression can sometimes feel stuck even if you are on the right track. Remember to examine objects multiple times and speak to the same characters repeatedly, as this often triggers new dialogue and opens up new options. Carefully exploring every menu command in different locations is the key to uncovering the truth.
