Mitsume ga Tōru

Mitsume ga Tōru (known to Chinese retro players as The Three-Eyed Boy / Three-Eyed One) is a side-scrolling action game developed and published by Tomy, released for the Famicom (NES) in 1992. It is adapted from Osamu Tezuka’s classic manga. Players control Sharaku Hosuke, the last survivor of the ancient three-eyed tribe. He embarks on an adventure to rescue Wato Chiyoko, who has been kidnapped by the villain Godal from the three-eyed clan. The iconic weapon Red Eagle can attack foes and act as a floating platform to perform double jumps, which is essential for progressing through stages. Multiple bullet types are available: fire, wave, sonic and high-power shots. Hidden golden chickens are scattered in every level; hitting them drops coins, which can be spent in shops for ammo, extra lives and supplies. Two difficulty modes, Easy and Normal, are selectable. Boasting fluid pixel animation and tight combat controls, it features well-crafted level design. Widely distributed on pirate multicarts for the Subor Famicom clone in China, it remains one of the most beloved classic NES games for generations of retro gamers.
