Mendel Palace Game

Game Overview

Ever heard of Mendel Palace? This hidden gem for the NES is like a wild mash-up of puzzle-solving and action, wrapped in a quirky, anime-inspired package. You play as a kid who dives into a dream world to rescue his friend, battling weird and wacky enemies by flipping tiles on a grid—think Puzzle Fighter meets Bomberman, but with its own weirdly charming twist. The fast-paced strategy keeps you on your toes, and the colorful, offbeat enemies (like sentient playing cards and bouncing blobs) give it a personality all its own.

What makes Mendel Palace stand out? It was actually the first game ever directed by Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri! That alone makes it a cool slice of gaming history. Plus, the two-player mode turns the chaos up to eleven, as you and a friend can team up—or sabotage each other—in a frantic battle of wits. If you love retro games with a unique spin, this one’s a must-try. Just don’t blame us when you get hooked on flipping tiles for hours!
