Play Mitsume ga Tooru (Japan) Online
You play as a kid with a third eye, slashing monsters with a sword or blasting them with psychic powers while navigating bizarre levels full of floating platforms and giant rolling eyeballs. It’s that kind of weird, janky NES charm where nothing makes sense but you can’t stop playing.
Mitsume ga Tooru is a 1992 NES game developed by Natsume, released late in the console's life when developers were pushing the hardware in unusual directions. It stands out from the typical platformers and RPGs of the era with its strange, almost experimental vibe, drawing from a manga source that wasn't widely known outside Japan.
You control a boy named Takuro, who wields a sword and possesses psychic abilities used to attack enemies and interact with the environment. The goal is to rescue a kidnapped girl by fighting through side-scrolling stages filled with odd enemies like giant eyeballs and living, bouncing vegetables. Key mechanics include switching between your sword and psychic blast on the fly, navigating multi-path levels with some light puzzle-solving, and defeating bosses to open up new areas. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, but the sheer weirdness of the enemies and settings keeps you pushing forward. It feels like exploring a surreal, slightly off-kilter dream where every screen holds a new visual surprise.
