Rokudenashi Blues is a licensed high-school brawler action game published by Bandai exclusively for the Famicom based on the delinquent manga. Protagonist Maeda Taison navigates school districts, engaging in street and schoolyard combat against rival gang members. Chain punches, kicks and special strikes to defeat opposing groups.
Horizontal scrolling school, shopping street and rooftop stages host roaming rival patrols. Snack pickups restore vitality; hidden alley caches grant temporary combat enhancements.
Key story battles trigger large-scale gang fights. Later zones coordinate multi-directional enemy ambushes from multiple entry points.
Bandai’s urban school district tile graphics and energetic rock-themed soundtrack recreate gritty youth delinquent atmosphere.
Strategically, consistent territory defence avoids becoming surrounded by multiple foes. Constant reckless rushing leads to being mobbed and taking heavy damage.
For contemporary Famicom retro delinquent manga licensed brawler collectors, Rokudenashi Blues delivers faithful manga-inspired schoolyard combat.
