Play Gozonji - Yaji Kita Chin Douchuu (Japan) Online

Gozonji - Yaji Kita Chin Douchuu came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, developed by TOSE and published by Irem. It was part of that wave of late 80s NES games that leaned heavily on humor and local cultural references, rather than straightforward action or adventure.

You control a pair of comical travelers making their way through a caricature of Edo-period Japan. The main goal is simply to reach the end of your journey, but you'll spend most of your time solving dialogue-based puzzles, engaging in mini-games like cart racing, and navigating screen by screen through towns and countryside. The game relies on wordplay and situational comedy, often breaking the fourth wall with jokes and cultural nods. Progress can feel slow if you don't grasp the language or context, and some puzzles are downright obscure. Playing it feels like stumbling through a historical comedy sketch where you're never quite sure what will happen next.
