Omoikkiri Tanteidan Hadogumi is an action/adventure game by Bandai and
based on a Japanese television series aired in 1987. It features a group
of five detective kids on a mission to retrieve various objects stolen by
a mysterious thief with a golden mask. But before anything, the player must
pass the organization's test. After entering personal information such as name,
birth-date and blood type, the player must go through two challenges. The first
one is a memory test. Eight character faces (from a list of four) appear at random
on the screen and the player needs to remember the order in which they came in.
The second test is action based and the player must catch roses thrown by the thief,
himself hanging from an air-balloon. Passed this, the real game starts. Our hero
can move around town and visit buildings to gather information. He can also use
various items such as a slingshot, a metal detector, a radio, binoculars etc...
baddies also wander around the city and must be avoided. They can also be
knocked down using any weapon our hero may carry (like the slingshot) or
by punching them on the chin.

Purchasing Omoikkiri Tanteidan Haado Gumi felt pretty much
like a gamble. I mean, I had never heard of it, the game's
cover looks ace (I love goofy Japanese series from the 80s/90s) and it's
a Bandai game (not usually a great sign though). The game was aimed at a
young audience, so do not expect anything ground breaking here. Once
passed the (boring and tough) enrolment test, the real game starts and
any non-speaking Japanese players will have a hard time figuring out what
to do. Some items need to be used in particular locations and it is
very tricky to figure out where and when. And even if you know some
Japanese, the game is still hard and unclear. Loading times are also
terribly annoying. For instance, the disk needs to be flipped over
every time you enter a building. All in all, I wouldn't recommend
this game unless you gave yourself the mission in life to own
every single Famicom Disk game ever created.
