www.hardcoregaming101.net/dezeniland/dezeniland.htmNot that I expect too many people to care, but this is an early series of Japanese text adventures from Hudson. They're both parody games, with the second one featuring lots of goofy variations on comic book and sci-fi characters. It's good for the amusing pictures, at least. I've been flipping through some of my really old text adventure guide books and getting nostalgic for their graphic style - I might do an article someday that's just full of pictures from them. Incidentally, these are the same guys that made Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom. A few characters from that game even make cameo appearances.

So that's where your avatar came from. Didn't knew that Hudson made text adventures too.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Korean version is completely in English. (I only know of the first game converted, btw., on three tapes as shown in the picture.) Here are a few screenshots from that version:   For which computer system are the screenshots in the article? |

They're all PC88.
There are complete FAQs linked in the article, it's what I used to play through them.

I think I read somewhere that the treasure in Dezeniland was called 'Mitsuki Mouse', or some other stupid pun lol. This sounds like a game that is best played high.
Supposedly the developers of Zack and Wiki were inspired by these games(?)

I think I remember reading that somewhere - probably on your site!
I certainly wouldn't doubt it. I stumbled upon to these two games when we discussing the difference between visual novels and adventures games in the other thread, and the Wikipedia entry mentioned both of these pretty prominently.

This game sounds completely absurd and right up my alley. Cornball text adventures are some of the best things.
Gotta find me that Korean-English version.

It's included with the SPC-1000 emulator stuff I've posted a while ago in the Korean Game Marathon thread.

The list of systems Dezeni Land was released on doesn't mention the S1, despite its cover being depicted right below, so I guess that could need fixing.
Also the final paragraph of the Dezeni LAND part begins with "Dezeni World isn't much different from similar types of games of the era, Japanese or otherwise. " which should be changed to Land rather than World.

Why are there three Korean releases when there were originally only 2 Japanese games? How were those split up?

That's just one release (of Dezeni Land) on three tapes (a total of 5 sides are used).

The "old man" in this screen is probably Ogon Bat. Talk about obscure! The anime was one of the slew of '60s and '70s animes that stormed Italy in the early '80s. |
