Once In A Century, developed by Ribbon Black in 1991 for the Nintendo Famicom. An 8-bit RPG that follows one woman’s journey from a hired sword to the greatest knight the kingdom. Great graphics for a Famicom game, being that it was released near end of the console’s life cycle.

i’m afraid of the sun, developed for GameBoy by Ribbon Black in 1990.

A psychologically themed text adventure about a girl trying to connect with people while dealing with social anxiety. Not a spinoff of Super Mario Bros. 3 like I originally thought.

The Labyrinth at Nishimori (西森の迷路) 1990, Nintendo Famicom

A graphic adventure horror game for Famicom. A group of friends become separated during a week-long hiking trip through a great forest called Nishimori. As one of the unlucky teens, you find that you’re more than lost–the forest itself has turned against you! When your friends begin to come back from the darkness of the labyrinth, you’ll wish they had stayed lost.

Gameplay takes place over five in-game days–wander aimlessly and you’ll run out of time. Can you solve Nishimori’s riddles and escape, or will you join your friends in the forest forever?
