Play 3 Choume no Tama - Tama and Friends - 3 Choume Obake Panic!! (Japan) Online

I picked up 3 Choume no Tama: Tama and Friends - 3 Choume Obake Panic!! on the Game Boy back in 1994. It was published by Bandai, and it felt like a natural fit for the handheld, one of those cheerful, cartoon-based titles that were common at the time. The game draws from the Tama and Friends anime, bringing its neighborhood adventures to the small screen without much fuss.

You control Tama the cat, moving through a series of single-screen stages to catch mischievous ghosts. Your main tool is a fish; you toss it to lure ghosts out of hiding, then pounce when they take the bait. Each stage is a self-contained puzzle where you figure out the right order and timing to use your limited fish supply. The pacing is methodical, not rushed, and the challenge comes from predicting ghost patterns rather than quick reflexes. It feels like solving a gentle, interactive cartoon strip.
