Game Review - originally written by Spinner 8

Looks like this is one of those graphical text adventure thingys, just like the NES version was. Might even be the same game. Anyways, Maison Ikkoku is (I’m pretty sure?) the first manga done by giant fire-breathing manga goddess Rumiko Takahashi, or at least one of the first. It’s pretty boring by most standards, involving some loser in a boarding house, and his infatuation with his landlord (kanrinin), an infatuation which doesn’t fully materialize for a good ninety-six episodes. The rest of the tenants are crazy characters who use his room for nightly drinking and partying sessions. It’s really great.

a complete nightmare to play without a guide. it does capture the spirit of this series, however
