Play Urusei Yatsura : Miss Tomobiki o Chigase! Online

Urusei Yatsura: Miss Tomobiki o Chigase! came out for the Game Boy in 1990, published by Jaleco. It was one of those many licensed games from the era, trying to capture the spirit of a popular anime on a handheld screen. You control Ataru Moroboshi, the unlucky protagonist, as he navigates a series of chaotic events set around Tomobiki High School.

You move Ataru from screen to screen, interacting with characters and objects to trigger mini-games and story events. The main goal is to successfully complete a set of challenges, often under a time limit, to win the affection of various girls while avoiding the wrath of Lum and her electric attacks. Signature mechanics include dodging projectiles, like thrown geta or oni bolts, and engaging in simple action-puzzles, such as retrieving items or outrunning rivals. The pacing is brisk and the difficulty can feel uneven, with some tasks requiring quick reflexes and others relying on trial and error. It feels like managing a cartoon crisis in real time, where every wrong move leads to a comedic shock.
