Play Momotarou Dentetsu (Japan) Online
You buy train routes across Japan while dodging ridiculous obstacles—like a sumo wrestler sitting on the tracks—and try not to go bankrupt before your smug pixelated rivals do.
Momotarou Dentetsu is one of those NES games that feels like it shouldn’t work—but somehow, it absolutely does. Picture Monopoly, but instead of Atlantic City, you’re buying up train lines across Japan while dodging weird little disasters (like a giant sumo wrestler blocking your path). The AI opponents are surprisingly ruthless for pixelated 8-bit characters, and half the fun is watching them get wrecked by random events.
At first, I thought it was just a cute board game clone, but there’s actually a sneaky amount of strategy—do you hoard cash for big stations, or spread thin and hope luck saves you? The art’s got that old-school charm, too, with tiny trains chugging past Mount Fuji and goofy character sprites. It’s the kind of game where you’ll lose an hour without realizing it, especially if you’ve got a friend to bankrupt along the way.
Fair warning: the humor’s very Japanese, so some jokes might fly over your head unless you’re familiar with the folklore. But even if you’re not, the chaos is universal. Just don’t blame me when you’re muttering “one more round” at 2 AM.
