NES VERSION STORY

THE YEAR 2056

Someone, or something, has broken into the main defense computer and is blocking access to the backup system.  Of course, if the program controlling our nuclear weapons system is altered, our planet could be a pile of cinders in seconds.  Conflict is unavoidable.

The new Image Transfer System, just developed, looks like it will be our last hope.  The Image Transfer System–an amazing process that allows a human mind to be converted to raw binary data, making it possible to travel easily inside computer circuits.  But the conversion system is completely untested.  If a human mind is changed into raw data, what form will it take when it’s reassembled inside the computer?  What changes to the Psyche could the procedure cause?  No one know.

The man chosen for this dangerous mission: Colonel Scott O’Connor.  Well trained in body and spirit, and knowledgeable in computer hardware and software.  He is the perfect choice.

Now, stretching out on the image transfer machine, he is preparing for a trip to try and save his country…his civilization…his people.

FAMICOM VERSION STORY

Long ago, in ancient times, in Zipangu, the Land of Gold, there stood a golden castle.

THE YEAR IS NOW 2015.

Our homeland was on the verge of our greatest accomplishment: a city that was completely controlled by computer so that humans might live more comfortably.

However just when each part of the system booted up, and we thought it was fully operational, someone hacked into the mainframe, altered its programming and heightened its security.

Accessing the computer proved to be impossible.  We tried many methods, but were thwarted every time.

We had a device called the Psy Converter System.  Although still in the research phase, it was our only hope.  The Psy Converter transfers the human psyche into a computer’s program, allowing one to move freely within it.

After gathering data on several people, we compiled a list of persons suitable for this dangerous expedition. Then, finally a candidate was selected:
a fifteen year-old boy.

Right now, he’s lying down in the Psy Converter System, about to journey into the great unknown.  His name is Bobby Yano.  He will venture into a new battle,
just as his ancestor did long ago, in the days of old.

His ancestor’s name was JIGOKU GOKURAKU MARU.
