Ultra Monogatari

Released by Winkysoft in 1986, this title is a 3D maze-exploration action game for the PC-8801. Players control a young man named Jiro, who must navigate a training facility, battle monsters, and rescue trapped children to reach the goal. The game features diverse combat mechanics, including punches, kicks, and the "Spectrum Ray," which changes color as the character grows. It serves as a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the creative, independent spirit of the Japanese home computer market during that era.

Aspiring to join the Ultra Patrol—an organization dedicated to maintaining peace across the universe—a young man named Jiro must endure a series of grueling trials. Within a maze-like training facility, he faces waves of monsters that stand in his way. His mission is to rescue five kidnapped children scattered throughout the facility and secure the end flag to succeed. By mastering punches, kicks, and his signature Spectrum Ray, Jiro fights to prove he has what it takes to become a true patrol officer.
