Ganbare Goemon Uchuu Kaizoku Akoging - PS1 NTSC-J Japan. Condition is "Good".

**Please note: This is for the Japanese PS1 console!

The first Playstation Goemon Game, Uchukaizoku Akogingu (Space Pirate Akogingu), brings Goemon in the 32-bit age with another completely 2D adventure. While the graphics benefit from the expanded color palette, the backgrounds and level designs lack the flair that made Goemon 4 on the Super Famicom so gorgeous.

The only polygons you'll find are in the Impact segments. However, all four characters appear on the screen in the overhead segments - not only is this confusing when fighting enemies, but it also causes the action to slowdown to a crawl in certain areas. There is no voice acting in the sequences. The music is mostly techno remixes of old Goemon themes, although too many areas are filled with ambient noises.

The structure is almost exactly the same as Goemon 3 for the Super Famicom - overworld segments peppered with side-scrolling levels, with a few Impact scenes and minigames spread here and there. However, the world is quite a bit smaller and more linear, comprised mostly of somewhat boring mazes, The side scrolling levels are also much, much shorter. While this leads to a simpler game, it's also much easier to follow if you don't know Japanese. The only major addition to the gameplay is addition of experience points - when you gain levels, your weapon gets upgraded.

The story begins in outer space, with an alien named Baban being attacked by the ruthless space clown Akogingu. He crashes into Edo, where Goemon and pals eventually help him get his ship repaired and back to fight against the usual invaders. While Yae and Sasuke make appearances, they stand outside of the spotlight for the two new characters: Goroku, a green haired strong man, and that alien dude Baban, who has funky eyeglasses and a cane. Neither of these newcomers are particularly interesting, which is most likely the reason they don't show up in any other Goemon game.

Manufacturer's description:
