Aoi Blink (Japan) [En by Gaijin+Zatos v0.99b] - Platformer Classic
This is a fan translation of Aoi Blink, a side-scrolling action platformer originally released for the PC Engine in Japan. The patch by Gaijin and Zatos, version 0.99b, brings the game's story and menus into English. It's one of those niche titles that never left Japan, so this translation is a boon for import enthusiasts.
You control the young hero Aoi Blink as he runs and jumps through colorful levels, defeating enemies with a short-range weapon. The gameplay is straightforward platforming with some light puzzle elements, like finding keys to open doors. Each stage leads to a boss encounter.
For fans of 16-bit era platformers, this translation makes a previously inaccessible game playable. It's not a groundbreaking title, but its charming character art and solid level design make it a pleasant curio. If you enjoy discovering obscure games with a bit of history, this one is worth a look.
