Mitsume ga Tōru: Tomy Classic Famicom Title
The Three-Eyed One is a licensed fantasy action platformer published by Tomy exclusively for the Famicom based on Osamu Tezuka’s manga. Hosuke Sharaku traverses ancient ruin and wilderness stages, wielding his third eye’s energy beam alongside melee strikes to defeat supernatural foes. Collectible items restore vitality and unlock enhanced power modes.
Horizontal scrolling jungle, temple and cave stages host yokai and ancient guardian patrols. Hidden ruin chambers contain bonus power-ups for thorough explorers.
Every main zone concludes with a multi-phase ancient demon boss encounter. Later stages feature narrow ruin ledges requiring precisely timed jumps over bottomless pits.
Tomy’s atmospheric ancient Asian ruin tile graphics and mysterious melodic soundtrack maintain the manga’s supernatural adventure tone.
Strategically, consistent ruin exploration conserves third-eye beam power for airborne threats. Reliance purely on melee leaves Sharaku vulnerable to out-of-reach spectral foes.
For contemporary Famicom retro Osamu Tezuka licensed collectors, Mitsume ga Tōru is a domestic supernatural platform curio adapting the classic manga.
