Magical Taruto-Kun (Mega Drive)














Magical Taruto-Kun is a nice little platformer released in Japan for the Sega Mega Drive in 1992. There was also a Super Famicom game released with the same title, however this is a bit poor.

The Mega Drive game was developed by Gamefreak which explains the reason why it's worth a go as it shares similar graphical design and gameplay elements with two other Gamefreak titles (Drill Dozer on the GBA and the cult classic Pulseman also on the MD).














This was of course before Gamefreak moved to developing for Nintendo and created the massive Pokemon series for which they are famous.

Magical Taruto-Kun predictably plays exactly how you would expect it to but at the same time is quite charming and won't outstay it's welcome.

Well worth picking up.
