Sadakichi 7 is a japanese digital comic and, as far as I know
(and understand), is a sort of comedy adventure (I think) based on a
spy novel by Togo Takashi . The player incarnates a boy, an apprentice spy
( Number 7 in the game title is probably a reference to the famous
English super-agent james Bond 007 ),
who must retrieve ancient documents of the Kansai culture from the hands of an
evil organization called Natto ( which means fermented beans in
Japanese and sort of joke with the name of the famous national organization ) . The action
takes place in Osaka and Tokyo and some places in the game are supposed to be accurate
representations of the real cities. For anyone not familiar with digital comics, here is
a short explanation of what this game genre is about.
The game puts the player in situations and current events are displayed on screen, either
using static or animated graphics. Japanese text located under the main window
unfolds the story and the player is asked from time to time to picks up choices, or
trigger simple actions like speaking or looking, and
guide the game's character towards different routes. Sadakichi 7 is probably
the first digital comic for the PC Engine system.
