Synopsis

The game revolves around the main character, Goemon, and his exploits. As his name suggests, his character was based on Ishikawa Goemon, the noble thief from Japanese folklore. Unlike its sequels, this game still doesn't feature the comical situation and strange characters that defined the series. Goemon is portrayed as a noble thief rather than a simple hero.
The game plays like a top-down action/adventure game (similar to The Legend of Zelda). The MSX version has the option of being played in turns by two players, with the second player playing as a ninja named Nezumi Kozō, who is basically Goemon's sidekick Ebisumaru. Additionally, unlike the Family Computer version, the game has six additional provinces with completely new levels after completing the game once.
