Oi! Kaguya Hime -Ie no Wakare-

Released by Ponica in 1983, this title is an incredibly unique and challenging shooting game developed for the PC-8801. Its distinctive system, which tasks players with locating Princess Kaguya hidden within a bamboo forest using bullets called "Energy," symbolizes the experimental nature of the early PC gaming market. With severe restrictions like a limited shot count and the need to dodge falling bird droppings, its notoriously punishing difficulty has made it a legendary, standout title in the history of early bishoujo games.

In order to find Princess Kaguya, who has hidden herself somewhere in the bamboo forest, players must embark on a search using a limited supply of "Energy" bullets. However, a harsh obstacle awaits at every turn: a relentless onslaught of bird droppings that players must navigate while carefully shooting through the bamboo. The goal is singular: reach the depths of the forest, track down the Princess, and reveal her appearance. In this incredibly challenging and unreasonable scenario, both your intuition and luck will be tested.
